Chapter 220 The third brother really stood up!
Gu Xiangwen brought a lot of things and prepared to go home for the holidays.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he remembered the greedy nature of his family, so he first took out half of the grapes from the fruit box and gave them to Fa Xiaotao.
He originally thought that nothing would happen and that this was a normal human interaction.
Who would have thought that when Gu Xiangwen returned home, he did not enter the house. Instead, he carried his things and went to Xiao Tao's house. His greedy elder brother and sister-in-law saw this scene.
As soon as the couple got home, they told his parents in a more acrimonious manner.
His parents were also angry and waited angrily for Gu Xiangwen to come back before dealing with him.
At the other end, Xiao Tao collected the fruits from Gu Xiangwen and gave him two packets of mooncakes in return.
Gu Xiangwen then turned around and went home.
Before he returned home, he saw his seventh brother Gu Xiangrong waiting for him outside the alley.
As soon as Gu Xiangrong saw Gu Xiangwen, he came up to him and said, "Brother, don't go home yet. I'm telling you, just now my eldest brother and sister-in-law said that you didn't even come back when you arrived at the door. You went to Xiao Tao's house with a lot of gifts." , saying that you are not filial, that you only remember others when there are good things, but dont remember to be filial to your parents, and you are a white-eyed wolf."
After hearing this, Gu Xiangwen felt a flash of bitterness in his heart.
He looked at his seventh brother's eyes full of concern, smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, everything I brought is here. If they dare to talk nonsense again, then don't eat it."
Lao Qi Gu Xiangrong heard a hint of coldness in the last sentence.
Not only was he not afraid of such a third brother, he actually felt a little relieved.
The third brother really stood up!
From now on, he will also learn from his third brother, become a capable man like his third brother, and no longer be scorned by the rotten people in his family.
Gu Xiangwen suddenly thought of his sister again, and asked Gu Xiangrong, "Lao Qi, have you ever been to the eldest sister's house? Is she doing well?"
Last time he came back in a hurry, and Gu Xiangwen didn't have time to go to his sister's house to take a look.
His eldest sister is also a hard-luck person. She has not had a good life for so many years.
When he was studying in the past, his eldest sister got married and would always give him a dollar or two when she returned to her parents' home.
Although the money is not much, it is something that the eldest sister can save from her fingers.
To him at that time, the two yuan was like a huge sum of money, which allowed him to buy some school supplies and other urgent needs.
Now that he is capable, he should repay the kindness to his eldest sister.
Lao Qi Gu Xiangrong replied to him, "Third brother, the weekend after you came back, the eldest sister and brother-in-law came back with their three children. I think the eldest sister and brother-in-law didn't look good either. They looked haggard."
With the eldest sister of the Gu family, Gu Xianghui, her husband's mother has been paralyzed in bed. All the other brothers and sisters-in-law are afraid to avoid her. Only the couple has a conscience and has been serving her old man.
his eldest sister has to take care of an old man who is paralyzed in bed, takes care of three children, and does part-time work. She is not just treating herself like an old scalper.
Fortunately, their family was separated. Although life was poor, his brother-in-law was kind to his sister and the children were filial. Even though his eldest sister was living a hard life, she was happy with it.
Gu Xiangwen immediately took out the things he brought back, took out a bag of pastries, a can of meat sauce, and two large bunches of grapes, and put them in his big bag.
He said to Gu Xiangrong: "I will go to the eldest sister's house first. You take these things back first. No matter what they say, don't quarrel with them. Wait until I come back. I will come back for dinner."
Gu Xiangrong nodded sensibly, "I understand, third brother, go ahead and come back early."
Gu Xiangwen patted his seventh brother on the shoulder and said, "Then I'm leaving. We'll talk when we come back."
Gu Xiangrong nodded, "Okay."
Gu Xiangwen strode away.
He first went to Xiao Tao's house, borrowed a bicycle from him, and then rode the bicycle towards his eldest sister's house. He rides a bicycle to his eldest sister's house, which takes almost forty minutes.
By the time Gu Xiangwen arrived at his eldest sister's house, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
Gu Xiangwens eldest brother-in-law is an employee of an electrical machine factory.
Their family also lived in the dormitory allocated by the electrical machine factory. There was only one room, and six people in the family lived together.
Usually they use public restrooms, wash in public baths, and cook by setting up a stove in the corridor.
When Gu Xiangwen went to his eldest sister Gu Xianghui's house, Gu Xianghui was busy making a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner at home.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even people who are reluctant to eat will go and cut some meat and buy some vegetables to eat back.
Gu Xianghui was stunned for a moment when she saw Gu Xiangwen.
Gu Xiangwen is much more decently dressed now, and he is not as poor as when he first returned to the city.
Jun Ning told them that for the sake of the image of their Junlin company, she gave three sets of clothes to each of Gu Xiangwen, Xiao Yanru, and Luo Dali.
Regardless of men and women, they all wear white shirts and black pants.
Such clothes are fashionable in this era.
Jun Ning asked the three of them to wear these three sets of clothes as work clothes.
In Gu Xianghui's impression, the younger brothers always picked up the eldest brother's clothes and wore tattered and patched clothes.
This is the first time Gu Xianghui has seen Gu Xiangwen who is now dressed so decently.
Gu Xiangwen has not seen his eldest sister for many years. Now he sees that her eldest sister is only thirty-two years old, and her eyes are already covered with wrinkles, and her thin face is full of haggard and exhaustion.
His eyes instantly turned red, and he choked with sobs and shouted, "Sister..."
Gu Xianghui also shouted excitedly, "Xiang Wen, it's really you. I was a little afraid to recognize you just now. Come on, come on, come in and sit down."
The neighbor who was also cooking festival food next to him saw Gu Xiangwen, who was good-looking and well-dressed, and immediately asked Gu Xianghui, "Ah Hui, is this a relative of yours?"
Gu Xianghui smiled and replied: "Yes, he is my third brother. He just returned to the city from the countryside and is now working in Yucheng."
The neighbor looked Gu Xiangwen up and down again, and seeing that he was rosy and not thin, he smiled again and said, "Oh, your brother just returned to the city not long ago. Seeing as your brother is doing so well now, he must be doing well, right?"
Its okay, lets go in first!
Gu Xianghui poured a little water into the dish, covered it with a lid and simmered it, then led Gu Xiangwen into the house.
A house divided into two halves with a curtain.
The front half is used as the living room, where guests usually receive guests, eat, and the children do their homework.
The other half contains three double-decker canopy beds, so the whole family can sleep in such a small space.
When the siblings went in, three children were doing homework on the table.
Gu Xianghui smiled and said to the children: "Qingguo, Qinggang, Qingxia, these are your third uncles, please call me uncle."
Her two sons, the eldest, Bi Qingguo, is twelve years old.
The second oldest, Bi Qinggang, is also ten years old.
The youngest is daughter Bi Qingxia, only six years old.
