Chapter 283: Settlement by the end of the year
After a simple dinner, we decided on the schedule for tomorrow.
Gu Yuehuai and Gu Xihuai went to the breeding place to borrow a cattle cart, and then went to the county hospital to pick up Yan Shaoyu and Yan Shaoyang. Gu Tinghuai stayed at home, waiting for the team to distribute food. It was actually very quick to pick them up. If they set out early in the morning, they should be back by noon.
When Gu Yuehuai washed the dishes and returned to the room, Yan Shaoli and Yan Shaotang were already asleep.
Yan Shaoli had a good sleeping position, leaving enough space for her.
The situation tonight was special, with many people around, so Gu Yuehuai did not enter the Sumeru space and just lay down to rest.
The next day, when Gu Yuehuai got up, Gu Tinghuai had already prepared dinner.
Gu Yuehuai was a little surprised: "Brother, why did you get up so early?"
"It's not me who gets up early, it's our dad who gets up early, see." Gu Tinghuai smiled bitterly, raised his chin and gestured.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the curtain and went out, he saw Gu Zhifeng sitting at the door carrying a small notebook, gazing at the production brigade where smoke was curling up from the chimneys. His rough face looked a little lonely, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"dad."
Gu Yuehuai called out, and Gu Zhifeng was stunned. When he turned around to look at her, a smile appeared on his face, but compared to the past, today's smile was a little complicated and sad. It seemed that what Lin Jinshu said to him yesterday was quite powerful.
He said, "Nannan, are you hungry? Your elder brother has already prepared the meal, go and eat."
Gu Yuehuai ignored her, went back to the room, brought out a small stool, and sat down next to Gu Zhifeng.
She held her chin with one hand and said calmly, "Dad, you've been single for so many years, have you ever thought about getting married again?"
As soon as Gu Yuehuai opened his mouth, Gu Zhifeng was stunned and said, "You, what did you say?"
Gu Yuehuai said seriously: "I thought about it. My eldest brother and third brother are going to get married soon. It won't do without a woman to support the family. How about finding a stepmother for us and let her take care of this matter?"
Gu Zhifeng was very loyal in his relationships. Even though his initial breakup with Lin Jinshu was not good, he never thought of finding another woman. For nearly twenty years, he had never even spoken to a woman in private.
After so many years, his feelings for Lin Jinshu are still as strong as ever, which is not good.
She didn't want Lin Jinshu to become the knife that hurt Gu Zhifeng. If she wanted to change this, she had to let go of her feelings for the former. In this case, finding a stepmother was imperative. Besides, she didn't want Gu Zhifeng to be so lonely for the rest of her life.
Gu Zhifeng didn't say anything for a long time, perhaps because she was too shocked.
Gu Yuehuai didn't care. The more she talked, the more she felt it made sense. She asked, "Dad, why don't you tell me what you want and what you want? I'll find it for you. Can we get the certificate and set up two tables before the New Year?"
"After we get married, there will be more people in our family, and maybe we can have a few more brothers and sisters. Dad, how about we occupy the land behind the yard and build two more houses?"
Gu Zhifeng's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "Alright, the more you talk, the more nonsense it becomes."
Gu Yuehuai frowned and said, "I'm serious."
"Don't you have to go to the hospital to pick up Shao Yu and Shao Yang today? Okay, go eat quickly and leave after eating." Gu Zhifeng glared at Gu Yuehuai unhappily. This was the first time he said he didn't want to pick up his daughters.
Gu Yuehuai crossed his legs and spoke more slowly: "Dad, are you tired of me?"
Before Gu Zhifeng could say anything, Gu Yuehuai stabbed him in the heart again: "I heard that Lin Jinshu wanted me to go with her yesterday? To be Secretary Qin's daughter in the future? Dad, tell me what you think."
Gu Zhifeng's expression changed slightly, and a hint of loneliness and pain flashed across his eyes.
He tried to speak calmly, "Nannan, Dad respects your choice." After a pause, he continued, "Dad will give you a suggestion. You can live a better life with your mother. Dad thinks this is a good idea."
He struggled for the whole day, and sat at the door early in the morning to think it over, and finally made this choice.
It was not up to him to decide whether his daughter stayed or left, but as a father, he would definitely give her the best advice. Just as Lin Jinshu said, his daughter had such a pretty face, a decent job, and a father who was an official, so her future would definitely be good. But if she stayed in the Dalaozi Production Brigade and continued to waste her time, she would not have so many good opportunities.
He also knew about the situation of Yan Shaoyu's family. His parents had been dismissed and no one knew when they would be rehabilitated. Logically speaking, someone with impure social relations like him would not be able to join the army, but he couldn't explain the inner workings.
But the only thing that is clear is that even if Yan Shaoyu joins the army, it will definitely be much more difficult for him to get promoted than for others.
It's not that he is snobbish, but he still hopes that his daughter can think more about him. After all, MLZL is a life shared by the two of them. If she is involved with such a family, she will be closely watched in the future and cannot make any mistakes.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at Gu Zhifeng, looked at his pretending to be calm expression, and chuckled.
She stood up, patted Gu Zhifeng on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Dad, you are still worrying about me. Think more about what kind of person you like. We must settle things before the New Year. If you don't tell me, I won't find someone according to your preferences. By the way, someone like Lin Jinshu will definitely not work. He can't adapt to the life in our family. You should find someone you like."
After saying that, Gu Yuehuai ignored him and went to wash up with a toothbrush and towel.
Gu Zhifeng's face turned the color of liver. If those boys had said such things, he would have cursed at them and hit them on the head with a hammer. However, he also heard dissatisfaction in Gu Yuehuai's words, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart for a moment.
I am both pleased with my daughter's affection for her family and guilty for not being able to give her a good life.
Gu Yuehuai didn't care what he thought. After breakfast, he went to the breeder with Gu Xihuai to borrow a cattle cart.
As soon as the two entered the breeding area, they saw Wang Fu, who was holding a red leather notebook and checking the distributed food.
Gu Yuehuai obviously had great trust and goodwill in Wang Fu's eyes. As soon as he said he wanted to borrow a ox cart, he immediately asked someone to harness the oxen to the cart. The one responsible for pulling the cart was another bull in the team, who was also the father of the Xumi Space calf.
Gu Xihuai could drive a ox cart, and the two of them sat on the cart and went to the county hospital.
On the way, Gu Xihuai glanced at Gu Yuehuai and said in amazement: "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have a stronger voice in our brigade. The secretary is so happy to see you."
Gu Yuehuai shrugged without comment and told Gu Xihuai what happened this morning.
After hearing this, he was also stunned: "Let our dad find us a stepmother? What do you think?"
Gu Yuehuai straightened his back and glanced at him calmly: "Third brother, why are you so cowardly? You are so big now, but you are still afraid of your stepmother?"
