Chapter 104 Godmother
Mother Gu hurried back home and shared the great news with Father Gu.
"Since the child called back and told us specifically, why don't we just not go to work in the future?" Mother Gu tried to suggest.
She was a woman, so the work she was assigned was relatively easy, but Gu's father had worked in the fields all his life, and his back was so tired that he couldn't straighten it completely.
He used to be very dark and thin, until Yunxi improved their lives, the old man gradually gained some weight.
Who would want to go out to work under the scorching sun when you can lie comfortably at home? Father Gu nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I'll tell the village chief tomorrow that we won't have to work anymore and can just focus on taking care of our vegetable garden and the few acres of private plots."
After the discussion, the old couple didn’t even bother to eat and started busying themselves.
"Didn't Yunxi like to eat sweet potato porridge when she was at home? It was soft and sweet."
"Old man, go to our private plot this afternoon and dig some more and send them to Yunxi. Remember to pick the big ones."
Mother Gu paced back and forth in the yard, thinking and giving instructions.
"Okay, I promise I'll get it done."
After she gave the instructions, she rushed to the old house and said that she would ask Gu Jiahao to write the letter for her and they would send it over later.
Just now she was worried that the phone bill was too expensive, so she didn't say much.
After Gu Jiahao finished writing down what his grandmother had instructed him to do, he added a few sentences at the end.
He reported his recent achievements and asked his second aunt not to forget the agreement between them.
What Mother Gu said in the letter was to ask the two of them to take care of their health and not to work too hard, and to bring Yanyan back to visit when they have time.
Although they knew that Lin Yunxi had become the head of a factory, Gu's father and mother did not have any other thoughts except being happy.
Nor did they ask the second son and his wife to arrange for their other two sons to work in the factory.
Although it is natural for brothers to help each other, we cannot rely on others for everything.
Yunxi has just become the factory director. If she brings the eldest and third sons in, as well as several brothers from her husband's family, it will be difficult for them to work in the factory.
Apparently, Lin's father and mother also thought so. The two families never mentioned the backdoor issue and instead were genuinely happy for Lin Yunxi.
Lin Yunxi also understood that in the days to come, he would feel closer to both parents.
Here, after getting off work, Zhang Hongmei got food for the family from the cafeteria and went straight to Yunxi's house to pick up her two sons.
As expected, Yanyan, Dazhuang, Xiaozhuang and Zhou Ziang were having a great time in the playground in the yard.
Lin Yunxi was cooking in the kitchen, and her peripheral vision was always on the four boys playing in the yard.
"My two sons spend less than half the time with you than me, otherwise, let them ask you to call them mom."
Zhang Hongmei came into the courtyard, rubbed the heads of a few boys, picked up the towel that Lin Yunxi had folded aside, and wiped their sweat.
Then he came to the kitchen, sat down and helped to light the fire, jokingly speaking.
"Okay." Lin Yunxi agreed with a smile without stopping his hands.
When the four children heard the noise, they also lay down at the kitchen door.
Now it was Zhang Hongmei's turn to be dumbfounded. She was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "If you say that, I will take it seriously."
If their two children recognized Yunxi and Gu Zheng as their godparents, they would definitely be marrying above their station.
Ever since Dazhuang, Xiaozhuang and Yanyan became friends, Lin Yunxi has been watching them all the time except when they go to the square to play during the day.
The two boys have now grown from being skinny and dark "little monkeys" to fair and tender little boys under the care of Lin Yunxi.
Da Zhuang and Zhou Ziang are older and act as older brothers in the four-person team. Every time they go out to play, they can take good care of their two younger brothers.
In addition, Sister Hongmei's family has good education and the two children are very polite, so Lin Yunxi naturally likes them very much.
Lin Yunxi swiftly took the vegetables out of the pot, added half a pot of water to soak them, and looked up and said.
"Since I said that, I'm not joking."
Zhang Hongmei wished she could have a closer relationship with Lin Yunxi, so she brought her two sons over.
Asked: "Do you like Aunt Lin? Do you want Aunt Lin to be your godmother?"
Da Zhuang knew what it meant to be a godmother. He opened his mouth and shouted directly, "Yes, godmother."
Xiao Zhuang followed his brother's example and shouted, "Godmother."
"Be good." Lin Yunxi wiped his hands and took out four jade pendants from the bedroom. They were carved in the shape of small and delicate gourds.
She put them around Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang's necks respectively and said, "This is a meeting gift."
"Yunxi, you can't do that. You already take care of them too much. Forget about the gifts." Zhang Hongmei hurriedly stopped him.
This jade looks warm and soft, with a delicate texture and extremely fine workmanship. It looks expensive. Wouldn't it be a shame if a child got knocked or bumped while wearing it?
Moreover, the two children often eat at Yunxi's place. Zhang Hongmei wanted to give her five yuan every month, but she refused.
Our family has taken too many advantages here in Yunxi.
