Chapter 166 Bow Your Head
"Actually, you don't have to be too pessimistic. Maybe it's not as bad as you think." Afterwards, Gu Wan told her about the promise Zhang Fengxia made that she heard at Liu Xie'e's house that day.
Liu Qingcheng was stunned, lowered his head, and his eyes were very complicated. "She never told me these things."
"Alas, adults always act like they are doing this for your own good, and it doesn't matter what I do, and you can be right if you listen to me."
Gu Wan said with emotion. Liu Qingcheng smiled, but he was still recalling in his mind. After a while, he said:
"It seems to be true. They never tell me the reason and always curse at me, and I will argue with them."
The two of them seemed to have met a soulmate and started complaining about their parents. Before they knew it, the second car arrived.
Although there were many people on the bus this time and there were no seats available, at least people were not standing close to each other.
They hurriedly got on the bus, but Gu Wan finally realized that she was too happy too early. Many people got on the bus along the way, and in the end they arrived at the county like a sandwich.
Gu Wan didn't actually want to buy anything. She came here for something very important, but she didn't want Liu Qingcheng to know, so she said:
"Qingcheng, why don't you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy what you want? I have to go do something first. I'll come to see you later, okay?"
Liu Qingcheng nodded. She was in a hurry to buy things, so she didn't even ask Gu Wan what she was going to do. Soon the two of them parted ways.
Gu Wan went directly to the county public security bureau. She wanted to call her grandfather, but if she called at the post office, it would be bad if someone heard her.
But the director of the county public security bureau was my grandfather’s comrade-in-arms, and there was a phone in his office, so Gu Wan wanted to call him.
Gu Wan had been here once before, and this time she felt more relaxed when entering.
The person at the gate pointed her to the place and let her go up by herself.
The director of the Anping County Public Security Bureau was named Sun Guofu. At this moment, he was sitting alone at his desk, writing something.
Hearing the knock on the door, his already frowned brows furrowed even tighter.
Only when he looked up and saw Gu Wan did his brows relax slightly. He put down the pen in his hand, smiled and stood up.
"Why is Wanwan here?"
Sun Guofu is in his forties. He changed his career because of some eye injuries. He used to be a subordinate of Grandpa Gu Wan.
When I was little, I came to my house.
"Uncle Sun, did I disturb you?"
"Hi, no, no, it's rare that you come to see me, so why bother me or not?" Sun Guofu waved at her.
Because he had served in the army in his early years, his posture still remains as upright as it was in the army.
When Gu Wan went to the village under his jurisdiction, the old man had already greeted him.
It’s just that the old man is old, and he’s afraid that he won’t be able to take care of the children in the future, so he wants to let the children go to the countryside to exercise.
I hope she can grow up and be able to stand on her own in the future, so that she can protect the things left by her parents and grandfather.
So I specifically told them that unless Gu Wan came to ask for help, they could not take the initiative to help.
Although he felt sorry for Gu Wan, this was the old man's decision, and he knew it was for Gu Wan's good, so he resisted the urge to go see her.
She was also very considerate of herself for taking such a long time to come and see him. The only things she came to see him for were some small matters, so there was basically no need to trouble him.
When Gu Wan came this time, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
It rained for two weeks in a row in several villages near Muli'ao, and all the food was drowned. The girl was afraid that she would not be able to buy food, so she came here to ask for help.
He did have some money in hand, and if it really didn't work, he would exchange it with others for a higher price later. He was in the county anyway, so it would be convenient for him to do anything. After all, he couldn't let the child go hungry.
"Stay in the county for a while. Your aunt has been talking about you recently. Come to her house and have a chat."
Gu Wan knew that Sun Guofu might have misunderstood her purpose, so she smiled and shook her head, "Uncle Sun, I came to see you this time because I have something urgent to do and I want to find my grandfather, but it's inconvenient to call from outside, so I wanted to come to your office and use your phone."
Sun Guofu suddenly realized, then frowned again:
"Did you encounter any problems? Talk to your uncle first and see if I can help you."
It’s not that he didn’t want to lend his phone to Gu Wan, but from what Gu Wan said, he was afraid that Gu Wan was being bullied, so as an elder he wanted to show some concern.
"It's okay, uncle. I'd better talk to grandpa first, otherwise I don't know what to say." Gu Wan scratched his head.
It’s not that she didn’t believe Sun Guofu, but, well, she just didn’t have complete trust in Sun Guofu, so she wanted to ask her grandfather first.
Seeing her insistence, Sun Guofu nodded and pointed to the phone on the table. "You use the phone first. I just happened to be out for something. Will I be back soon?"
He put his hands behind his back and prepared to walk out, deliberately leaving her some private space.
"Okay, thank you Uncle Sun."
Sun Guofu laughed and glared at her. "Let's not keep saying thank you to each other. It's too formal. Remember to say hello to the old man for me when you call later."
"Okay, I get it, Uncle Sun."
Sun Guofu nodded, opened the door and went out. When he passed by the window next to the door frame, he smiled and nodded at her.
Gu Wan waited until Sun Guofu left before she walked to the desk and sat down, then picked up the phone and started making a call.
Not long after, a familiar voice came from Grandpa's guard:
"Hey?"
"Uncle Xia, it's me, Gu Wan."
The originally calm voice on the other end immediately relaxed after hearing Gu Wan's voice. The other party's smile could be heard through the phone:
"It's Wanwan. Wanwan wants to talk to your grandfather about something, right?"
"Yes, Uncle Xia, where is my grandpa?"
"The old man just went to practice Tai Chi. Call me later and I'll go call him."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Xia."
After Gu Wan hung up the phone, she picked up the phone again after a while and called again. This time, before she could say anything, an urgent greeting came from the other end:
"Is it Wanwan?"
"It's my grandpa."
The person on the other side choked up when he heard Gu Wan's voice, and blinked hard to stop himself from crying.
After calming down for a while, he said:
"How are you doing recently? Why did you suddenly remember to call grandpa?"
"I'm doing fine. I've moved out now and rented a house in the Youth League Center. I get along well with the people in the same village and have learned a lot."
"Okay, okay, that's good. I thought you could adapt well to the place, but I forgot that you have the same stubborn temper as your family members, but not as strong as us. That's why you have to suffer so much.
