Lin Xiuzhen, who was in the late stages of cancer, died and transmigrated to the 1970s, into the body of a biased widow who had lost her husband and had five children.
The original host died ...
Chapter 68 Hard-working Dog Egg
"Young people should respect the elderly and love the young, don't you understand? And your behavior is speculation, you can't do that!"
Manager Yang spoke in a very serious tone.
But the misleading meaning in his words is too obvious.
Only a fool would call out the can.
"Oh! Manager Yang, how can this be considered speculation? At most, this is just supporting my colleagues' work. It doesn't count. Okay, first come, first served. That's it. Aunt Lin, how much is this? Tell me."
Lin Xiuzhen was helpless; this young man was so quick to act.
He immediately said helplessly, "Xiao Mei, take it out. One can per person. One can is one dollar. Divide it among you. I have calculated it well."
Lin Xiuzhen explained, and the expressions on the other people's faces suddenly relaxed.
"Right, that's what we should do. Xiaomei, hurry up and take it out. We'll share it among us."
Even though Li Xiaomei was not satisfied, she had no choice but to take the can back.
After all, a can costs one dollar, and she has spent all her monthly salary on it. She really doesn't have so much money to buy it all at once.
In the end, everyone has to give the points.
One by one, they have started to give money to Lin Xiuzhen.
Seeing that everything was done, Lin Xiuzhen prepared to go off work.
She went to the school to find the fourth child. The child didn't go home last week and said he wanted to study at school. Lin Xiuzhen could only bring more things for the child.
Gu Dongyu was also very surprised when he saw Lin Xiuzhen.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"Come and see you. How's your study going lately? Why do you look so thin? Do you have any money?"
Lin Xiuzhen frowned as she looked at Gu Dongyu, who had obviously lost a lot of weight.
I saw that the other party was a little embarrassed, "No, I just studied too hard recently. I have enough money to eat."
Although the other party said so, Lin Xiuzhen still gave her ten dollars.
Then he handed her all the cans he had brought.
"I made it myself and brought some for you. Try it. If you have money, buy some food. Don't treat yourself badly."
"Okay, I got it, mother. By the way, where's the third sister?"
Gu Dongyu is still thinking about his sister.
"Your third sister won't be back for a while, so you should study hard first. If you need anything, come to the state-owned hotel to find me!"
"Okay, I got it, Mom. By the way, Mom, can I bring my classmates to have dinner there tomorrow?" Gu Dongyu was a little embarrassed, and pulled Lin Xiuzhen's sleeve and started to act coquettishly.
Lin Xiuzhen glanced at her sideways.
"Are you being weird again? If you want to go, go ahead. Your mother and I didn't run the state-owned restaurant. If you want to go, go ahead. I happened to have made a lot of delicious food. I'll let you try it when the time comes."
Although Lin Xiuzhen didn't know why her daughter suddenly mentioned going to the Zhen State-owned Restaurant for dinner, she softened her heart when she saw her like this.
"Hehe~ I know you're the best!"
Gu Dongyu chuckled.
"Okay, go back. Come early at noon and I'll keep it for you then."
Lin Xiuzhen said this unhappily, and then saw Gu Dongyu happily walking into the school.
After running for a while, he did not forget to look back and continued waving at Lin Xiuzhen.
"Mom, go slow on the way back!"
"good!"
Lin Xiuzhen waved at her, motioning her to go back, and then went home.
When I got home, I found that Goudan was still tending to their own land. Because of Goudan's presence in the family, there was someone to help with the private plots.
Gu Xialin is busy taking Gu Jiabao to work and earn work points every day. Many chores at home are made easier thanks to Goudan's help.
Gu Chunlan was making clothes in the yard. When she saw Lin Xiuzhen coming, she smiled at her.
"Mom, you're back? Goudan said he would water the fields while the sun is not out."
"Well, since Goudan is here these days, you can relax a little."
Before, Lin Xiuzhen was a little reluctant to admit that there was such a person in her family, but she couldn't bear to drive him away.
Fortunately, Goudan is also a sensible person. He helps with most of the housework and can also cook. It can be said that he knows everything.
Gu Chunlan spends more time with Goudan, and when she mentions Goudan, a smile appears on her face.
"That's right. After having Goudan, I don't have to cook for the family anymore. I have someone to accompany me at home, so I'm not lonely anymore. But this kid must have done a lot of housework before. He's good at both home and outside!"
When Gu Chunlan talked about Goudan, she talked endlessly.
Lin Xiuzhen didn't expect that this eldest girl liked Goudan so much, and her love for him was almost greater than that for her younger brother Gu Jiabao.
It’s amazing to say the least.
He has only been at home for a short time, but everyone except Gu Jiabao seems to be quite accepting of him. Goudan is also very diligent at home and can get along with everyone in the family, which is something Lin Xiuzhen did not expect.
"Yeah, that's good."
After Lin Xiuzhen finished speaking, she went outside to look for Goudan.
"Goudan, I'm back. I opened the can. Let's eat together."
"Okay, Auntie, wait a moment, I'll be there when I'm done here."
Goudan's voice was heard from the backyard, but he still insisted on finishing the work in his hands before coming back.
This child is indeed very honest.
He looks much better than his own son.
Goudan came back soon. He was so busy that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. When he saw Lin Xiuzhen, he couldn't help but show his big white teeth.
"Aunt."
"Well, you must be tired. Sit down and eat some canned food first. The vegetables in the field should be ready for harvest soon, right?"
"Yes, and then I saw that the other side was empty, so I re-tended the land. After a while, I will apply fertilizer and continue to grow vegetables. The vegetables in our field are growing quite fast."
Goudan's face was filled with smiles. Lin Xiuzhen knew that it must be because of her spiritual spring water, which was why it was so fast.
"That's good. It proves that our land is very fertile. The sun is too strong during the day. You don't have to work in the fields all the time. Be careful not to get heatstroke."
Lin Xiuzhen also knew that Goudan was worried that he would drive people out, so he tried so hard to prove himself.
But Lin Xiuzhen is not that kind of person. Having Goudan come home, he has actually helped her a lot. People are all made of flesh and blood. How could she be so cruel as to kick someone out?
Unless the other party has found a safe place to stay, we can let them go.
But looking at his current condition, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave for a while, so the family will just have to consider it as having one more person to support. When Gu Chunlan gives birth to a child later, they won't have to find someone else to take care of her.
When the time comes, I will let Goudan take care of it, and after I get off work, Gu Xialin can also come and help.
