Gu Jinyao gave Lu Ming a thumbs up.

"Third brother, you are amazing. How could you be so confident in giving your child to someone you don't know?"

Lu Ming spread his hands and said, "There's nothing I can do! I can't just leave the child at home. That would be even more unsafe."

Zhang Anan and the others said, "Qianqian, why don't you go to your second and third brothers' places?"

Lu Qianqian shook her head and said expressionlessly, "No, I don't plan to go. As long as my third brother doesn't live apart from them, I won't go. I remember everything my second brother and his wife did to me."

Seeing her like this, Zhang Anan didn't know what to say.

"Third sister-in-law, I know what you mean. I don't want to have too much contact with them. As for my parents, I will know how to handle it.

I won't let anyone gossip about me or cling to me. I've been through so much and I can handle it on my own."

Lu Qianqian knew that her fourth sister-in-law was worried about her and cared about her, and she was not the kind of person who didn't understand.

"Don't worry about what others say. You live your life by yourself. Only you know whether it's good or bad."

"Well, thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law," she turned around and saw several children staring at her.

"What are you guys doing? Why aren't you talking?" He gestured for them to come over.

"Aunt, why didn't Brother Dajun and the others come?"

Lu Chenhao crawled over and hugged her arm and asked.

"They are at home, and the road is not easy to walk on. Your uncle and I need to get something and we can't bring them here."

"What happened to your brother? Why is he lying there?"

"He's the younger brother, and he was scolded by his mother for being disobedient."

"Qianqian, ignore him. He can't go a day without being naughty. It's so cold now and he wants to go out to play, and he doesn't even wear a hat and gloves properly."

"They deserve a beating. If they don't obey, they'll catch a cold. Don't learn from them! You're all good, obedient children, aren't you?"

"Auntie, I am the most obedient child."

Lu Chenxuan praised narcissistically, and Zhang Anan turned her head away speechlessly. She had discovered that these children had become very confident in themselves.

Zhang Anan didn't know how other people educated their children. They both followed their own temperaments.

Most of the time I talk to them as if they were adults, and I don’t know whether this is good or bad. The obvious difference is that they love to talk and express themselves.

"Hahahaha, yes, you are the most obedient. Then you have to help your mother supervise your brothers and sisters and make them the most obedient children as well."

Lu Chenyao nodded without hesitation.

She made everyone laugh.

"What are your plans now? Will you stay in the countryside or return to the county?"

Lu Ming asked tentatively, wanting to know if some of his ideas had changed.

Gu Jinyao shook his head and said in a low voice,

"Where else can I go back to? My home is in the countryside. It's the only home I have. The situation outside is not good. I will just work hard in the team first and see how the situation develops before deciding what to do next."

Gu Jinyao was speaking from his heart. He had originally wanted to return to the county town, but when he went there before the New Year, he found it very chaotic.

At the moment, it is more comfortable to stay there than in the countryside. He has no way to guarantee that he can support a whole family in the city by himself.

"Well, the current situation is indeed not very good. Our neighbors came here to seek refuge because of the bad situation. I guess the situation in the big cities outside is even more grim."

Seeing that he was not the kind of person who couldn't see the situation clearly, Lu Ming revealed a little to him.

"We have some in our team, but we haven't had any contact with them. They look quite old. They must be people of a certain status, otherwise they wouldn't have known the news so easily."

Gu Jinyao thought of a previous teacher. He wondered how they were doing now. Their family still had a very high status. Although he had only studied with them for a short time, they were very humble and took good care of him.

"This is not something we ordinary people can decide. It's good enough if we can take care of ourselves."

"Fourth brother, I should be able to do some heavy work back here! There's a ditch digging job behind our brigade, and I plan to do it for a while. The work points are pretty high."

Gu Jinyao came today mainly to ask this, after all, they now rely mainly on work points to make a living.

"When are we going? It's hard to dig now. The snow on the ground hasn't melted yet."

"It will take some time. We will probably start when the weather gets better. After the soil thaws, we will be busy planting again. We can only do it when we have time. They did some of it before the New Year, and there is not much left now. We will be able to use it when we finish it."

Lu Ming heard that he really wanted to go, but he also understood that he must be worried about his future life since he had no source of income now.

"You can go, but you have to do it according to your ability and don't overwork yourself. Your whole family is waiting for you."

"Fourth brother, I remember. I can't live well, but I won't let her follow me and make it very tiring."

"No, no, you should let her work harder. With her personality, she'll overthink things if you let her have some free time. You can teach her when you have time. If she does well, you can get her a diploma. Then you can let her try teaching later."

Lu Ming really put a lot of thought into their lives, hoping that they could live well during the next ten years of turmoil.

Gu Jinyao's eyes rolled, and he leaned over and whispered,

"Fourth brother, this isn't how you got yours, is it?"

Lu Ming glanced at him and nodded slightly.
