HCB Chapter 273 Compensation from Gu Guodong
Chapter 273 Compensation from Gu Guodong
When Gu Hanchuan returned home that evening, he saw Gu Guodong sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding the child.
"came back!"
When Gu Guodong saw his son, his expression was calm, and his tone of voice didn't seem very excited. After only glancing at him, he lowered his head again to earnestly coax his grandson.
Gu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow. So, his father doesn't miss him at all?
"When did you come?"
"I just arrived today, mainly to accompany a colleague to receive medical treatment."
Gu Hanchuan asked curiously, "Where are you staying?"
"The attending physician at the military hospital is Xiao Ye."
Gu Hanchuan nodded. Well, my wife has more and more patients. I don't know if she can keep up.
Now Liu Liu can be held upright. When Gu Guodong saw him babbling, he simply picked him up and walked around the room, rocking him as he went, which made Liu Liu giggle.
Gu Hanchuan washed and dried his hands, looking helpless: "Dad, you're going to spoil him like this."
"Don't talk nonsense! My grandson is so cute. Besides, I'm only just now meeting him, so what's wrong with me holding him and comforting him?"
Gu Hanchuan choked, fine, he was being unreasonable.
Ye Nuan and Li Qiang were both busy in the kitchen. It was rare for everyone to be there for dinner tonight. Xiao Gangpao had also finished get off work and was chopping firewood in the yard.
Yueyue wanted to help start the fire, but Ye Nuan chased her out and told her to go inside and play with her dolls.
Yueyue was a little afraid of the new Grandpa Gu, so she didn't dare go to the living room and went to her own room instead.
"Gu Hanchuan, clear the table, it's time to eat."
"it is good!"
In the corner of the living room is a foldable table that can be used as a square table or a round table. Ye Nuan bought it at the department store last year, and it also comes with six chairs.
Gu Hanchuan moved the coffee table to the side, then set it up, and Yueyue came over to help set up the chairs.
The chairs are all foldable. When we first bought them, Yueyue tried to fold them several times.
Six chairs are just enough.
Xiao Liu had just had milk and wasn't hungry, so he wasn't fussing. Ye Nuan put him in the little wooden bed without worrying that he would fall off.
Dinner was very lavish, and Gu Guodong praised the taste after taking a bite.
"Did Xiao Ye make all of this?"
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Nuan Nuan cooked both of them. I heard from Han Chuan that you like Sichuan cuisine, so I specially made a spicy chicken and a boiled fish."
"Haha, good! Good boy!"
Because Ye Nuan was still breastfeeding, she only tasted the spicy dish a couple of times as a symbolic gesture and didn't dare to eat more.
Yueyue and Xiaogangpao, on the other hand, were eating with gusto, as if the spicier the food, the more they wanted to eat.
Gu Guodong stayed at home for two nights before heading back to Beijing.
Before leaving, Gu Guodong took a small box out of his suitcase and handed it to Ye Nuan.
“These are things your mother and I prepared for you. There’s a little gold lock for Xiao Liu. But you can’t wear it now, so just keep it for now. I believe things will get better.”
"Dad is right, our country will get better and better, and our lives will get better and better."
Gu Guodong loved hearing such positive words and was extremely satisfied with his daughter-in-law.
"There's still two thousand yuan in the box. When you were pregnant and gave birth, your mother and I couldn't come to take care of you, which was our fault. Also, your cousin had to help take care of the child, so we, as grandparents, didn't do our best. Consider this money as our compensation to you, please keep it."
"Dad, we can't take this money."
Gu Guodong said firmly, "Take it. I know you two don't earn low salaries, but this is just a token of our appreciation."
Gu Hanchuan nodded: "Take it."
With these words, Ye Nuan was able to accept the small box.
Gu Hanchuan went to see Gu Guodong off at the train station. Of course, he had to go to the hospital first before that, and he also took Ye Nuan there.
Gu Guodong had already learned about his colleague's condition from Ye Nuan and knew that there was still a great chance of recovery, which greatly relieved his worries.
When he got back, Gu Guodong felt completely relaxed.
After Ye Nuan opened the box, she saw that there was not only a small gold lock inside, but also a lot of gold jewelry. Ye Nuan estimated that it weighed more than two pounds in total.
The total amount of money was two thousand. Ye Nuan took out the money and prepared to deposit it later.
In addition, there were some nationally valid tickets, and Ye Nuan picked out those that were expiring next month and handed them all to Li Qiang.
"Sis, you can use it whenever you want, don't waste it anymore."
"Row."
These tickets included cloth tickets, meat tickets, and sugar tickets.
Li Qiang is now the household manager, taking care of all the household matters.
"I have quite a few cloth coupons. I'm thinking of getting some cotton to make two quilts later."
"Okay. I'll figure out a way to deal with the cotton."
There's cotton in Ye Nuan's space, so she can take it out and use it later.
On the second day of the second lunar month, Ye Anjia rushed out of the gate of Anshi Machinery Factory.
"Hey, which brother is looking for me?"
Upon seeing that the other person was wearing work clothes, the driver immediately smiled and asked, "Are you Comrade Ye Nuan's father?"
"Yes, I am Ye Anjia. What brings you here?"
"We were entrusted by Comrade Ye Nuan to deliver some things back to her."
After that, several woven bags were unloaded, and the driver kindly helped him carry them to the gatehouse.
"Can you take it home, Master Ye?"
"Yes, yes, thank you so much."
"You're welcome. Comrade Ye Nuan also paid for it."
Looking at all this stuff, Ye Anjia felt overwhelmed and had no choice but to ask the comrades here to watch over it for a while, and then he and Ye Feng would carry the stuff back together at noon.
Li Xiuyi was naturally surprised to see that the father and son had brought back so many things.
"Why are there so many things?"
"Nuan Nuan asked the transport team over there to help bring it over."
As Li Xiu tidied up, she sighed, "I wonder when Nuannuan will be able to come back. Doesn't she feel tired, studying and taking care of the child at the same time? She's too far away, so we can't help her much."
Ye Anjia knew immediately that she missed her daughter.
He wanted to too.
But there's nothing he can do; he hasn't retired yet, while Li Xiu is almost ready to retire.
Women can apply for retirement at the age of fifty and then receive their pension directly. However, if Li Xiu takes early retirement due to health reasons, she can still receive her pension after the age of fifty.
Moreover, if Li Xiu retires, her job can be taken over by someone else.
But now neither of the two daughters-in-law has a job, so it's a real dilemma to decide who to give the job to.
It was precisely because of this dilemma that Li Xiu simply stopped mentioning early retirement and just continued doing things this way for now.
Moreover, because of her long tenure, and because her job is not suitable for people without formal education, neither of her two daughters-in-law has any objections at the moment.
