When it comes to being a father, Gu Yunshen's attitude towards his two daughters is truly worlds apart.
Gu Qingyao is his precious treasure, while Gu Ruqing is treated with cold indifference.
Gu Ruqing complains about her father's favoritism, but she forgets that her mother, Zhang Xiaohui, also favored her and treated Gu Qingyao like an enemy.
Today's scene was orchestrated by the mother and daughter duo. They hired a thug to ruin Gu Qingyao, but unfortunately, it didn't work out. Mo Beihan unexpectedly took Gu Qingyao away, leaving them furious.
Meanwhile, in the county town, Gu Qingyao enjoyed a hearty, greasy meal, finally satisfying her hunger.
Mo Beihan looked at her with a mix of amusement and tenderness.
He packed up the remaining food and took Gu Qingyao with him. At this moment, he was no longer in a hurry. Once they left the city, they would be safe, and the tragedy of their past lives would not repeat itself as long as they were careful.
Seeing Gu Qingyao's clothes, made of coarse fabric with patches, Mo Beihan took her to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"What are we doing here?" Gu Qingyao, who had been reborn, was excited. At this moment, she just wanted to go home and see her grandmother, who had passed away in her previous life.
Mo Beihan said, "I want to buy you some things. I finally have some time off to visit, and it won't be convenient to buy you things when I go back."
Gu Qingyao didn't say anything. In fact, there were many good things in her space, but it was inconvenient to take them out.
"No need, Brother Beihan. I want to go home now. Can we go home now?" She wanted to see her grandmother. In her previous life, her grandmother had been worried about her before she passed away. Now, her grandmother was alone at home and probably wasn't eating well. If she hurried back now, she could have lunch with her grandmother.
Mo Beihan looked at Gu Qingyao and thought she was scared last night and wanted to go home quickly, so he didn't press her further. He could buy her things later.
"Alright then! Let's go to the grocery store and buy some meat to take home. You need to eat well at home, okay? Just a moment!"
The little food they had at the state-owned restaurant wouldn't be enough. Gu Qingyao was so thin and needed to eat well.
Gu Qingyao thought for a moment and didn't refuse. Even if she took things out of her space, there had to be good things in the outside world. She slowly added some weight, but she couldn't conjure things out of thin air.
The two of them went to the grocery store. The Gu family definitely didn't lack vegetables, as they grew their own in the countryside. Mo Beihan mainly went for meat.
There were only two pounds of pork ribs and a large fish left in the grocery store, so Mo Beihan bought them all. Then, he took Gu Qingyao back to the Gu family's location, Qinghe Brigade.
The soil in Qinghe Brigade was fertile, and the harvests were relatively good, so the living conditions were slightly better than in some other brigades nearby.
However, it was only slightly better. In the 1970s, there weren't many places where life was very good.
