Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1722: Psychological Preparation 3

Dr. Guo’s mood fluctuated greatly, and he was exhausted. He didn’t want to see Gu Qing, so he assigned this task to Gu Tian.

Rather than spending time like this, he might as well accompany Shi Guantao.

Gu Tian was sent by Dr. Guo to explain things to Gu Qing. Dr. Guo also instructed Gu Da Sao to buy groceries. Although they couldn’t buy meat, there was definitely seafood. "Buy more, so Guantao can properly replenish himself, and don’t worry about wasting money."

She was living alone in the army hospital, with limited expenses. Although she used to subsidize Gu Qing’s family fifty to one hundred every month before retirement, she still had some money left over. Saving for over twenty years, it was already a considerable amount, and coupled with the fact that she stopped giving money to Gu Qing after coming here, she had a total savings of five to six thousand yuan.

Dr. Guo not only stuffed money into Gu Da Sao’s hands but also gave her all the Cloth Tickets she had, quietly instructing her to buy some fabric to make clothes for Shi Guantao, feeling heartache seeing Shi Guantao’s clothes full of patches.

Gu Da Sao only took the Cloth Tickets and didn’t take the money, turning around to call Feng Qingxue.

In the afternoon, at three or four o’clock, the sun after the rain was still harsh. Except for Erxiong, others didn’t want to go out.

Gu Da Sao and Feng Qingxue mother and son first went to buy fabric. Dr. Guo’s Cloth Tickets were limited, so Gu Da Sao and Feng Qingxue contributed their own Cloth Tickets. All in all, they could make two sets of clothes for Shi Guantao.

Shi Guantao was very thin, but he was tall, which was quite like Gu Tian.

Gu Tian was also very tall and thin, while Gu Qing belonged to a medium, solid build.

Currently, clothes were quite loose. In summer, they were worn as single garments. Except for shirts and underwear, pants, and jackets in winter had to be worn over cotton clothes, so a figure like Shi Guantao consumed a lot of fabric.

Gu Da Sao said, "Making clothes for Guantao is really not cost-effective."

Feng Qingxue casually asked, "Sister-in-law, are you from Shanghai?"

This saying had always been prevalent in the Shanghai area.

Gu Da Sao shook her head, paying while saying, "No, I was born in Yongcheng. Many Shanghai people moved from our hometown, so naturally the dialect is very similar."

Feng Qingxue understood.

After buying the fabric, Gu Da Sao took the initiative and bought two pairs of shoes for Shi Guantao. She noticed Shi Guantao’s height and figure were similar to Gu Tian’s, so those big feet seemed the same too. If they didn’t fit, they could be exchanged.

Because after Gu Qing got married, he didn’t treat Dr. Guo well, so Gu Da Sao easily accepted Shi Guantao’s presence.

Gu Qing was not a bad person; everyone knew he was honest and straightforward. Speaking of being unfilial, before marriage, half of his income was devoted to Dr. Guo; after marriage, he never quarreled with or attacked Dr. Guo. Speaking of being filial, after marriage, he followed Shen Xiufen’s orders, was quite adept at extracting Dr. Guo’s salary, and during family squabbles, he never showed up. Dr. Guo even went back to work and lived separately from him for the sake of his two daughters, and he didn’t utter a word to persuade her to stay.

Gu Tian looked with complex emotions at this middle-aged man who had been his younger cousin for nearly forty years. Uncle and aunt traveled all over, and when Gu Qing was young, he was taken care of by this brother, more like half a son than just a cousin.

"Brother, you’re looking for me? I was just thinking of finding you." Gu Qing was contemplating how to start the conversation.

Shen Xiufen promised her brothers to buy a Rolex, but the family’s money simply wasn’t enough. Dr. Guo obviously wasn’t willing to give a dime. To maintain her dignity before her family, she assigned this critical and heavy task to Gu Qing, asking him to request money from Dr. Guo, even though she had scolded Gu Qing before.
