Aunt Wu Xiujuan's house is a three-room mud room. Although the furniture is old, it is cleaned very cleanly.

Wu Xiujuan led Gu Jinyan to the room on the west side, and said kindly, "Don't be cautious, Ayan, just be your own home." When

Gu Jinyan approached her and asked if she could rent her house, she was surprised. After asking the reason, she knew what was going on. She confirmed again and again that Gu Jinyan was determined to go out. Even if she didn't rent, he would find someone else. If he couldn't rent it, he moved to an abandoned house at the foot of the mountain to make do with it. .

She agreed. I am very happy inside, the older I get, the more lonely I get. If it wasn't for Gu Jinyan's insistence, she wouldn't charge the rent. She has always been happy with Gu Jinyan's grand-nephew, and she didn't eat too much when she was a child.

"It's troublesome for you to lick your uncle." Gu Jinyan said sincerely.

"No trouble, you clean up first." Wu Xiujuan waved her hand.

There is nothing to pack, just a quilt, pillow and a few tattered clothes.

Putting things away, Gu Jinyan came to the country of Deng Ai, his former friend.

"Ayan, why are you here?" Deng Aiguo asked Gu Jinyan who was standing at the door.

"Patriotic, I have something to ask you to help me." Gu Jinyan said.

"If you have something to say, you are welcome." Deng Aiguo said.

Gu Jinyan was a little embarrassed and said, "I want to borrow five catties of sweet potatoes from you."

"Where are the sweet potatoes in your house?" He remembered that Ayan's family distributed a lot of sweet potatoes.

Gu Jinyan pursed his lips and said, "I was separated from the house, and now I am renting at my uncle's house."

"Ah? Separated?" Deng Aiguo was surprised.

"Yeah." Gu Jinyan nodded.

I can't hide it, and I don't want to hide it.

"Why?" Deng Aiguo asked.

Gu Jinyan said: "The matter is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it all at once."

Deng Aiguo looked at Gu Jinyan for a while and said, "Is there no food for you at home?"

Gu Jinyan nodded.

"You wait." Deng Aiguo ran towards the house. After a while, he came out with a bag.

Deng Aiguo handed the bag to Gu Jinyan and said, "Take it back and eat it first. If you don't have enough, come and get it."

Gu Jinyan took the bag and estimated that it was about twenty pounds. Gu Jinyan said gratefully to Deng Aiguo: "Thank you, I will pay it back as soon as possible."

"Don't be like this among brothers." Deng Aiguo smiled heartily.

The next day, Gu Jinyan got up early, ready to wash and cook two sweet potatoes for breakfast.

Seeing Gu Jinyan coming out, Wu Xiujuan greeted, "Ayan, go wash up and have breakfast."

Gu Jinyan hurriedly said, "No need, I will cook it myself." In this era, food is precious, but I don't like to eat others. home stuff.

"Don't be polite to your uncle, I cooked your portion." Wu Xiujuan said with a smile.

Gu Jinyan couldn't shirk, so he could only go over to have breakfast. Breakfast is the same as at home, sweet potato porridge with pickles.

After breakfast, Gu Jinyan went to Gu Dahe to ask for leave. As for whether Gu Dahe was happy or not, Gu Jinyan didn't care.

As the leader of the production team, Gu Dahe has always been active in leading by example, and he also requires his family.

Gu Jinyan went straight to the transport brigade in the town.

"Hello, are you still recruiting? Can you drive, repair cars and speak Mandarin?" Gu Jinyan lied to the security guard that he was a relative of the transport team captain, and found the transport team captain.

Wang Dajun, the captain of the transport team, heard that he was looking for a job and waved his hand to chase people away. Hearing the words behind him, he looked at Gu Jinyan.

"Do you really know how to repair cars and speak Mandarin?"

Gu Jinyan knew that there was a spectrum, so he hurriedly said in Mandarin: "Really, do you believe me?"

Wang Dajun nodded, at least the standard Mandarin. There is no shortage of people, but there is no shortage of people who can repair cars and can speak Cantonese and Mandarin at the same time.

"Come with me." Wang Dajun led Gu Jinyan to the parking lot. Pointing to a car, he said, "The car is smoking suddenly, you can see what's wrong."

Gu Jinyan walked up to the hot car to check, but luckily it wasn't a big problem.

"There are three types of smoke from this diesel vehicle, white smoke, black smoke, and blue smoke. There may be two situations in which white smoke still appears when the engine is in a hot state..." Gu Jinyan snapped and said, He is also not proficient in car repair. But with the development of modern information, the common problem is that people who have a car will be more or less likely. In addition to the world he has been to, he has been driving for too long, and he knows more than others.

Wang Dajun didn't understand, but he seemed very professional. Immediately, he made a decision: "Come over to report in two days."

Gu Jinyan was overjoyed, he was not sure, so he wanted to come and try to be the best, if not, think about other things.

Back in the village, Gu Jinyan first went to Gu Dahe to transfer the food relationship.

This time, we are having lunch.

Seeing Gu Jinyan coming in, Huang Xiuju walked over excitedly and pulled Gu Jinyan, and said, "I'm back, come and eat first."

"No, I'm here to find Dad." Gu Jinyan looked at Gu Dahe.

Gu Dahe was also very excited to see Gu Jinyan coming back, but he didn't show it because he had to act like a parent. Hearing that there was something to come over, he calmed down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Jinyan said, "I'm applying for a job in the transportation team, and I need to transfer food."

"Really?" Gu Dahe and Huang Xiuju were pleasantly surprised. ask.

"Well, I'll report in two days." Gu Jinyan nodded.

"Brother, you are amazing." Gu Zhirong's eyes were bright.

"It's normal." Gu Jinyan smiled.

"Da He, don't hurry up and issue the certificate." Huang Xiuju urged.

Gu Dahe replied, "Let's open now."

Gu Jinyan took the certificate and said, "Thank you, Dad! Then I'll go back first, so I won't disturb your meal."

Gu Jinyan nodded, and was about to leave.

"Ayan..." Gu Dahe wanted to ask Gu Jinyan to come back.

"Dad, is there anything else?" Gu Jinyan asked politely.

Seeing that Gu Jinyan was so polite and unfamiliar, Gu Dahe felt very unfamiliar and couldn't say what he wanted to say.

Huang Xiuju didn't think about it and said, "Ayan, come back."

"No, I'm fine now. I'll go back to cook first." Gu Jinyan refused.

Huang Xiuju asked, "How can you have any food?"

"I borrowed some from Aiguo." Gu Jinyan told the truth.

"This..."

"Okay, let him go." Gu Dahe stopped Huang Xiuju's words. He has a bad intuition that this son will not come back.

As Gu Jinyan approached, he saw Wu Xiujuan looking at the door, and when he saw him, he greeted with a smile: "I'm back, wash your hands and eat."

"Auntie, no need, living here has caused you a lot of trouble, How can I eat you again." Gu Jinyan waved his hand.

"No trouble, my uncle is happy. How can you, a young man, cook with your uncle. All uncles have to cook, so you are not alone. If you really feel bad about it, chop wood for your uncle. It's over." Wu Xiujuan was really happy, cooking alone and eating alone, the feeling was really unpleasant. Now, there is someone to wait for when the meal is cooked, which is too happy for her. She is really not short of this food. Her son is a soldier, and the country will pay a monthly pension after his sacrifice. Her body is fairly strong, and she has always worked to earn centimeters.

Gu Jinyan saw the sincerity of what his uncle said, and also knew that for a lonely old man, it was a happy thing to have someone to accompany him to dinner. So he said, "Then I will trouble my uncle, but I will provide the food myself."

"Okay, the food is settled once every two months, and I'm impatient to count it every day." Wu Xiujuan laughed.

"Okay." Gu Jinyan knew that Wu Xiujuan was taking care of him. He came over empty-handed, and Wu Xiujuan must have guessed that he came out without food. It's mid-April, and the team will distribute food at the end of June or the beginning of July.

"By the way, auntie, I'm applying for a job in the transport team, and I'll report in two days. I'll probably play sports cars more often in the future." Gu Jinyan helped Wu Xiujuan to go inside, talking.

"Ayan, it's really amazing. It's very promising." Wu Xiujuan was happy for Gu Jinyan.

The news from the village spread quickly. Everyone was envious of Gu Jinyan being able to work in the transport team, but when Gu Jinyan was separated, everyone had more ideas. Some guessed what he did and was kicked out by his parents. , Some guessed that he had a good job and hated his parents, and even guessed that he was adopted by Wu Xiujuan.

In order not to meet Gu Dahe and Huang Xiuju, Gu Jinyan avoided going out.

Gu Dahe was better, he just had a black face the whole time. Huang Xiuju got bored, looked at him with a broken expression on her face.
