Chapter 100: I Have Great News to Tell You
Halfway through the meal, Chu Lian and Zhou Daoming exchanged a glance before Chu Lian said, "Cong Sheng, Zhu Zhu, you're married now. In the future, it's inevitable that you'll have disagreements as you live together. Be more tolerant and understanding in everything you do, and always speak up on the spot if there's anything wrong, so as not to cause misunderstandings that can't be resolved and hurt your relationship."
"That's right, it's the two of you who are living this life, but your parents still want to tell Congsheng that we treat Yuzhu like our own daughter. If you ever make her suffer any injustice, don't blame your parents for not taking your side, okay!"
Zhou Congsheng chuckled. Why was he suddenly giving instructions while they were eating? It was as if he was completely unreliable.
"Mom and Dad, don't you recognize me? Why are you giving me all this advice? Zhuzhu is the luck I've accumulated my whole life for marrying me, how can I not treat her well?"
Shen Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat when she heard his words. Seeing that his expression was normal, she breathed a sigh of relief. His words just now made her think that he was also reborn.
"Your parents know your feelings for Zhuzhu. We just wanted to say a few more words to you. Marriage is different from dating. After marriage, there will be issues like daily necessities, in-laws, and children's education. Your parents hope that you will always be more patient. This is what we, as your parents, must tell you."
Zhou Daoming raised his glass and clinked it with Zhou Congsheng's. After finishing his drink, he continued, "Your mother and I still have a lot to do. She has a lot of things to do at the hospital, and I have many meetings to attend. We plan to go back later and take advantage of Yuzhu's homecoming to visit Yuming and the other children."
"So fast, why not stay a few more days?"
“Many patients have traveled from other places to come to the hospital. I can’t let my patients wait for me. I’ve only been here for a few days, but I think this place is very nice. I’ve almost fallen in love with it. Don’t worry, your father and I will definitely come to see you whenever we have a holiday.”
Zhou Congsheng had a few days of wedding leave. After lunch, he and Shen Yuzhu strolled around with wedding candies before going back to their room to sleep.
Zhou Daoming and Chu Lian couldn't fall asleep in the room. After discussing it for a long time, they decided to go out.
Chu Lian had many classmates here. The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative to visit their classmates. Before leaving, they informed Zhou Congsheng at the bedroom door.
Who knew that he still hadn't returned by dusk? Zhou Congsheng waited at the gate of the compound for a long time but didn't see him.
Shen Yuzhu prepared a meal at home and waited for her. She rested for an afternoon and finally recovered.
She waited and waited, but no one came back. She was getting a little anxious. She grabbed a flashlight and was about to go out to look for them when she heard the gate open and three people came back, chatting and laughing.
"Mom and Dad, you're back?"
"Hahaha, Yuzhu, this is great news! Great news! Come inside and let's talk, come on in and let's talk."
Shen Yuzhu was puzzled. She glanced at Zhou Congsheng and saw that he was also smiling. Without thinking much about it, she followed him into the house.
Chu Lian was very happy. After Shen Yuzhu sat down, she took out a certificate from her bag.
"Look at this."
Shen Yuzhu took it and looked at it, her eyes widening suddenly. "Mom, this is... this is..."
“That’s right. Today your father and I visited some old classmates. One of them is the director of the textile department. Their unit is short of a logistics staff member, so I thought I’d send Yuming there. He agreed. Don’t worry about Yuming not being very literate. There are people there to guide her. As long as she’s willing to learn, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
"Thank you, Mom."
"Don't be so polite. Your father and I found her a courtyard nearby. As long as the production team is willing to release her, her grain and oil rations can be transferred to the city. It's just that her children might be a bit difficult to handle, so we'll have to wait a while."
Shen Yuzhu immediately said it was no problem, what was the big deal? She had her own space, why would she worry that her sister would go hungry?
As for work, she actually planned to find out about it slowly after she started working.
When she went out these past two days, she chatted with the women in the family compound and gleaned some information from them.
The staff at the family compound are almost all booked, and some family members are still waiting in line.
She had just gotten married, so asking this question was very sensitive. Zhou Congsheng had also told her that some people who were promoted would have their relatives from their hometowns come over, and they would help arrange jobs for them.
If they want to find someone for Shen Yuming, they'll have to wait a long time!
"Mom, I was thinking of finding a job for my sister, but I didn't expect that you and Dad could solve it with just one trip."
"That's settled then. I was the one who delivered the baby when the textile factory director's wife was giving birth. He was hoping I could find him a job so he could repay that debt of gratitude!"
“The work there isn’t strenuous, and my classmate can look after you, so it won’t tire you out, Yuming. Also, your mother and I have checked it out. You can go into the textile factory’s school and nursery, and it’s not far from the compound we found, so it’s very convenient.”
Thank you, Mom and Dad!
"Silly child, why are you being so polite with us?"
Shen Yuzhu smiled through her red eyes, and Zhou Congsheng felt extremely sorry for her, so he quickly invited them to sit down and eat.
It was a hot day, and the food was just right to eat warm. It was delicious, and Shen Yuzhu was a good cook. Soon the living room was filled with the sounds of eating.
Chu Lian and Zhou Daoming made it sound simple, but Shen Yuzhu knew that they must have asked many people and visited many places to get this result.
Jobs are hard to find, especially now that there are educated youth going to the countryside every year. They must have spent a lot of money and effort, using connections and working hard for so long, to finally get a logistics job.
Seeing the exhaustion in their eyes, Shen Yuzhu felt extremely distressed.
When Chu Lian and Zhou Daoming went to sleep that night, she made a cup of milk for each of them and added a drop of spiritual spring water.
Seeing that they had regained some energy, I went back to my room.
On the day of their return visit, the family of four prepared many gifts. According to custom, they brought chicken, duck, cigarettes, alcohol, wedding candy, wedding cakes, snacks, and pork. Chu Lian and Zhou Daoming also added some extra items.
After taking a bus to the county town, I rode a bicycle to the production team.
Shen Yuming waited there with the child early in the morning, and Qiao Wangshu and Liang Manxiu also took the day off and waited at the village entrance.
Even though Shen Yuzhu had only been married for two days, the group acted as if they hadn't seen each other for ages, hugging and kissing for a while before letting go.
"Aunt Chu, Uncle Zhou, let's go home and rest!"
"Okay, okay, Panpan, do you miss Grandma Chu?"
Panpan held Chu Lian's hand affectionately for a while, "I missed Grandma Chu so much, I couldn't sleep all night."
"Oh really? What a good child."
The group walked happily towards home, and the lively scene was extremely jarring to Lin Wanwan's eyes.
