Chapter 8: Small Town Gossip

With a history of more than 500 years, T City is a famous historical city in China, and the city plays an extremely important role in every period of history, thus creating a unique urban style that combines the East and the West, ancient and modern.

Autumn in 1986 was bright and the sky was blue, but the temperature was always so low. Gu Beibeila pulled her backpack, tightened the rough clothes on her body, and kept up with Gu Xiangnan's footsteps step by step. Today is the day she was discharged from the hospital, and it is also the first time she has been exposed to the outside world since she was reborn, although she is expressionless and a little curious.

She has always known about this country, but the specific situation is unknown, after all, it has been closed for a long time, and the external reports are always fictitious, and the real situation is only known to the people who live here.

The trucks and the rustic taxis, the roar of motorcycles, the screeching of horns, and the incessant sound of bicycle bells all made Vera feel uncomfortable and uncanny, as if old photos were coming to life.

Gu Xiangnan originally decided to go to work in the unit on vacation today, but Guo Huiying temporarily changed his hexagram.

Yesterday, she knew that her daughter's condition had improved, and she was full of hope to spend an afternoon in the hospital, in fact, talking about the new things she saw in the ward and enjoying the envy of others; Gu Beibei didn't like this style very much and ignored it, disappointed, she went home and quarreled with her husband again, and left the house early in the morning to report the performance experience.

Gu Xiangnan, who had no choice but to compromise again, came to the hospital early to pick her up from work.

He always knew that his wife felt confused, panicked and rejected by his daughter in a special situation, and she subconsciously chose to avoid it when she didn't know what attitude to use towards her child. But after all, this is their daughter, if they don't face it up to it and don't accept it, this family will have problems sooner or later.

So for the first time, he forcefully forced Guo Huiying to agree to a condition, and he would take turns to take his daughter to the unit in the future, and he couldn't leave her at home alone. Although his wife agreed, she was very angry.

Gu Xiangnan looked at his daughter who was stubbornly carrying a backpack behind him: "Beibei, let's go slowly, let's take a car back today." ”

"Hmm." A simple and casual answer, this is already her best response. Her large, divine eyes paid careful attention to everything and the people who passed by her.

Gu Xiangnan thought that his daughter had finally begun to like the excitement, and casually touched her head: "In the future, when I have time, my father will take you to the street to go shopping malls, and go ice skating in People's Park, now we have to hurry home." ”

"Yes." There is always only one single tone, but it makes Gu Xiangnan full of hope, and it is much better to say less than not to say nothing.

After the reform and opening up, China is entering a period of great development, and the urban area of T City is changing every day, and the coexistence of new and old residential areas can be seen everywhere around the city. Although the newly built residential houses are not very high-end, the people who can live in them are still some status people or dual-income families.

There is a small square opposite the entrance of the new house and the old alley, some merchants pull small cars to do business, and a group of women always gather at a fixed time every day to buy vegetables or take their children to wander around, chatting about trivial matters in life or other people's small gossip.

The boring life always needs some topics or some rumors to spice it up, and for people who repeat their monotonous life every day, participating in gossip discussions has far exceeded the gossip event itself.

"I saw Xiao Guo this morning and chatted a few words, as if I had just come back from abroad. Wearing a new dress, that coat looks classy. A pregnant woman touched her belly and said enviously: "It's the lead dancer of the art troupe again, it's really amazing." ”

"Isn't it, I used to be in the same unit as us because I was good at dancing, and my figure hasn't changed in the past few years. I saw it in the morning, too, but it's all the children's mother's clothes that are too fresh. The few people who couldn't see it responded one after another.

Suddenly, someone spoke: "However, her daughter is really beautiful." The skin is as white as milk, the eyes are blinking like the dolls in the department store, and I don't know how their family raises them. However, I haven't seen him in a while, and I don't know why. ”

When everyone heard this, they all didn't say anything, knowing that this must be someone who had just moved in and had seen Gu Beibei a few times but didn't know what was really the situation.

"Our old alley is also a girl who grows up neatly, but it's a pity that she is too well-behaved." Grandma Zhang, who lived on the same floor of the Gu family and was familiar with the Gu family, patted the non-existent dust on her body and said regretfully, got up and prepared to leave.

The pregnant woman who was the first to speak said with a smile: "What Grandma Zhang said is subtle, Bei Bei and my boss are the same age for eight weeks after the New Year, they don't talk or play with people, they are locked in the house every day, and the good children are suffocated." ”

"Isn't it, the two of them are busy and don't take care of the children, the Gu family's mother-in-law wants to take it, but unfortunately Xiao Guo doesn't agree. I heard that this house was still run down by Xiao Guo, so she can be stubborn and not let her mother-in-law live. Unlike my daughter, the whole family is crowded, and there are a lot of bad things. Someone gently took the topic away, after all, it is not easy for these two young people to have such a daughter.

An aunt swayed over with the child in her arms and said loudly: "Hongyan and her mother, you can't say that, this in-laws should be divided if they live together." Besides, if the food poisoning hadn't been discovered by Grandma Zhang this time, the girl would have been gone. The current young are too disrespectful of the old and love the young, which is really irresponsible. ”

Grandma Zhang patted her clothes and said: "Young people always want their own space, this Xiao Gu is not easy, he used to be a soldier of the people, what a promising young man, if he hadn't been discharged from the army with an injured leg and foot and hung up an idle job in the bureau, maybe he would have a big future." Let's talk about Xiao Guo, who is beautiful and smooth, and is also a staff member of the art troupe. How many people were envious and jealous when they got married, but how did it become like this in a few years. God is still jealous and lets Bei Bei vote in their house. Ay! ”

"Who's to say it isn't. My sister-in-law's eldest niece is also in the art troupe, saying that Xiao Guo can be taken seriously. I didn't expect to be arranged to go abroad by the general group some time ago, and Xiao Gu, who was so immortal, was also temporarily transferred to other provinces. The woman who had just gotten off work was carrying the food and just picked up the topic, talking about what she knew.

"You can't be so heavy with a beautiful quilt, what about women, you still have to focus on your family. Isn't what this man wants is a hot kang head for his wife and children, this Xiao Guo is too confused. Look at how much this hurts the relationship between husband and wife. The eldest sister of the same company said disapprovingly.

"That's it, this little Gu is really not easy, you say......" Someone tugged at her sleeve and kept glancing at her.

"Uh-huh, seeing that the sky is getting darker, it's time to go back to cooking." The pregnant woman touched her belly and walked slowly to the periphery of the crowd with a few acquaintances.

Gu Xiangnan was a little embarrassed at everyone, and hugged his daughter to his side: "It's all here, you guys talk slowly." ”

Grandma Zhang looked at Bei Bei, who had clear eyes, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gu and Bei Bei are back, do you want to go to grandma's house to play, Xiao Yi will be back in a while." ”

Gu Xiangnan raised the food in his hand: "Wait for Sunday, I have to go home to cook, and her mother will change it back in a while." Bei Bei said goodbye to everyone. ”

Gu Beibei looked at the man with a tight chin beside him, saw his embarrassment and nervousness, and said lightly: "Hello, goodbye." ”

He could hear this group of women talking from afar, he was embarrassed to come over, standing far away, if it wasn't for Gu Beibei walking forward regardless of it, it is estimated that there would still be a stand.

Gu Beibei sneered and took the lead in leaving, ignoring the shocked eyes of others, they were all strangers
