Chapter 39: Let's set out together and help each other
Although she had always been suppressed by her cousin in her previous life, she was also a person who lived a second life, so she naturally knew how to make money in this era.
Don't ask her about the details, she doesn't understand, but she knows the general direction.
She was able to do two things at once, drinking milk and complaining at the same time.
The couple looked at each other, both helpless.
"I want to go to the south. Teacher No. 2 has set up an experimental base for economic reform there. I'd like to see if there are any connections."
Fortunately, his daughter kept talking about the South last time, so he went to inquire about it this time, and only then did he learn that the second teacher had actually established an economic open base in the South.
"Is it far?" Li Guixiang had never traveled far, so she was a little worried.
"Of course it's far, but I can't farm all my life. I also want to give you and the children a better life."
Su Zhongguo said with a tender look on his face.
Li Guixiang understood his painstaking efforts. Lijia Village and Sujia Village were too close to each other. For the sake of their children, they had to stay as far away from Sujia Village as possible.
"I'm worried about you going alone. Why don't you take Brother Baoguo and the others with you? They are all brothers, and your uncle is good to us. He'd be happy to lend a helping hand if he can." Li Guixiang was worried about him going out alone, so she suggested.
Su Zhongguo thought about it and did not agree to it. "Let me ask Dad first." This kind of thing could be big or small, he would rather do it alone.
It’s okay if you make money, but what if you lose money?
He can't be the one to cover for everything.
He doesn't have such a big fortune.
"Well, ask Dad."
Su Jiani: "What's the big deal? Great Grandpa would definitely agree. He was really great. It's a pity that he was injured by the grief over his daughter's death in his previous life. He died without enjoying the happiness."
Listening to her daughter talking about her uncle, Li Guixiang felt very uncomfortable. She thought of herself.
The days I spend at the Su family also make my parents at home worried, and I don’t know how sad they are at home.
If I had listened to my parents and not married Zhongguo, my parents wouldn’t have been so sad.
Su Zhongguo naturally felt very uncomfortable when he saw his wife's sad look.
"Guixiang, I'm sorry for making you suffer with me. Don't worry, it won't happen again. I will never let you suffer any injustice again."
It was his fault. He shouldn't have used his greedy love to kidnap her and the children.
"I believe in you, Zhongguo brother."
Su Zhongguo told his father-in-law that he wanted to go to the south. Father Li was very open-minded. He thought that this was the children's own wish, so he decided to do it according to their own ideas.
Anyway, no matter good or bad, they will not starve at home.
Su Zhongguo found Uncle Li and Baoguo Baomin and told them his thoughts.
Very good, both of them are very interested.
Don't look at them as honest, they still have some abilities.
Uncle Li taught them a lot of skills, but he just didn't show them in front of others.
"My take on this is that since the country allows people to become wealthy, then we should follow the country's lead. Zhongguo, your brothers Baoguo and Baomin haven't seen much of the world, so you'll have to work harder when you get out there."
Uncle Li handed Su Zhongguo a cigarette and said, "Thank you for thinking of your two cousins when you have good things to do. But brothers should settle accounts clearly. If you have a business that you are interested in, it is best to do it separately. I believe that this country is so big that there is more than one business that can make money."
"Of course, if you're willing to work together, that's fine, but you have to clearly divide the responsibilities and money in advance. I don't want to see brothers fighting each other."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them immediately stood up and made a promise.
"Dad, don't worry. I'm the older brother, and I can't take advantage of my younger brothers."
"That's right, Dad, you taught us since we were young that we can only take what is ours, and we can't even think about what is not ours. I remember it all."
Su Zhongguo didn't win over the two of them, but his attitude was the same as theirs, "Don't worry, uncle, we will definitely think carefully about everything we do."
Seeing the three of them like this, Uncle Li felt relieved. "Well, I still believe in your character. Then I'll leave the rest to you, Zhongguo. Just tell me how much money you need to bring, and I'll give it to them."
Su Zhongguo actually didn't know either. He had never been to the south and didn't know what it was like there. However, it was definitely a good idea to carry some money with him.
"Uncle, I'm really not sure about this. Why don't we all take the savings certificates with us? It will be more convenient to use the money this way." He didn't say anything else and just expressed his opinion.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Wait for two days and I'll make some arrangements for your two cousins."
"good."
After leaving his uncle's house, Su Zhongguo went to his own house and found that it was almost done. He could move in directly when he came back next time.
However, he was used to living with his parents, so for a while he was really reluctant to move here.
My parents would definitely not be happy to come along, so Su Zhongguo smiled bitterly, packed up and went home.
Seeing him come back so quickly, the mother and daughter who were busy in the yard became curious, "Did you settle it so quickly?" Li Guixiang was puzzled.
In her opinion, a big deal like business must take a long time to discuss, so how long has it been?
"Well, Brother Baoguo and Brother Baomin will go to the south with me in a few days." Su Zhongguo's face was full of smiles, and it can be seen that he was happy about this.
Mother Li also smiled and said, "Your uncle is a man of vision. It's definitely a good idea to listen to him. Your two cousins are also capable. It's reassuring to have them follow us."
"Yes."
What no one expected was that Uncle Li's family actually invited relatives from the village to witness the separation of his two sons on the second day.
At first everyone thought that the two brothers had a conflict with their elders, but later they found out that it was Li Kaizong who insisted on dividing the family.
However, the old couple lived with their eldest son, while their second son bought a residential plot in the village and rebuilt the house.
Don’t divide the pot when dividing the family. Wait until the house is repaired before dividing the pot.
The division of the family was very peaceful, without any unnecessary cooking fuss. The property was divided into three parts, one for the old man and one for each of the two brothers.
Li Yan is a daughter who married out, so she doesn't count. It's not that Uncle Li favors boys over girls, but the village will not allow him to divide the family property in this way. At most, he can give his daughter a little more money in private.
Besides, they knew the family situation well, and their daughter really didn't need these things at home.
The old people live with the eldest brother's family, so their share naturally goes to the eldest brother, and the second brother has no objection to this.
Not only that, the second son also gives his parents 60 yuan in pension every year and 20 kilograms of food every month.
The division of the family property was very fair, and the clan elders thought it was feasible, so they wrote a document for them, signed and sealed it, and made four copies, one for each family, and one for the village.
On that day, the clan members were invited to a farewell dinner, and the division of the family was completed.
On the third day, the two brothers went to the town with Su Zhongguo. They went there to open an account. The money they exchanged last time had been hidden at home. This time they were going on a long journey and could not take the money with them.
Li Baoguo brought two thousand yuan, and so did Li Baomin. The two of them were betting everything on this. They were willing to spend so much money because they trusted Su Zhongguo.
Like them, Su Zhongguo deposited a savings certificate for 2,000 yuan.
After the three of them finished their business, they looked at each other and smiled, "Come on, big brother will treat you to a meal today." Li Baoguo put away his deposit slip and then generously invited the two of them.
Li Baomin and Su Zhongguo naturally wouldn't be polite with him, "Thank you, big brother."
The three of them had a full meal and then returned to the village happily. Naturally, they also bought a lot of things for their families when they returned to the village.
Although you need tickets to buy things at the supply and marketing cooperatives now, there are also some that don't require tickets.
After returning home, they gathered at Uncle Li's house, discussed the departure time, and asked Uncle Li to issue a letter of introduction.
After Su Zhongguo returned home, he told Li Guixiang about this.
"Then you should be careful on the road. You don't need to dress too well, but you should bring two sets of good clothes."
Li Guixiang was packing her luggage while giving instructions, fearing that something might happen to them on the way.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But don't be reluctant to eat and drink at home. Don't let yourself down. You have to take good care of your body." Su Zhongguo was naturally reluctant to leave, but he had reasons to fight.
"Look at that pile of stuff. How could I possibly lose out?" Li Guixiang rolled her eyes at him. "Go to the county and tell Baojun that I need to find a job for Yan'er, so that Uncle won't worry."
"Okay, I remember. Baojun said last time that there was some progress, but the price the man asked for was too high. He didn't want to be treated like a fool, so he left him alone. This time I'll go ask him. If it works out, I'll have Baojun take some leave and come back."
Without staying at home for long, the three of them left Lijia Village.
No one knew where they went except for the two families.
On the third day after Su Zhongguo left home, Li Yan brought Suisui to his house.
"Sister, I'm here. Is Jiani awake?" Li Yan seldom goes out since her divorce. Even when she goes out, she just sits at her second uncle's house and talks to her cousin.
"She's awake. The girl just finished pooping. You came at the right time. Help me hold her while I wash my pants." Li Guixiang's voice came from the house. She was not polite to her own sister at all.
They had originally planned to wait until after the autumn harvest before leaving, but my uncle said that business couldn't wait, so he asked Su Zhongguo and the others to go south early.
Now only Li's mother can help with the work in the fields, and during the day, Li Guixiang is the only one at home with the children.
Li Yan brought her daughter into the house and smelled a, well, stinky odor.
"Is this the beginning of meat?" This stinky smell doesn't smell like the smell of just drinking milk.
They are all mothers, how can they not smell it?
"I guess so. Your second aunt should make some egg custard for her." Li Guixiang knew that her daughter was greedy and didn't drink her milk properly, so she couldn't let her mother make egg custard for her.
If she hadn't seen that Jiani ate well, she would have quit long ago. Whose child can eat when he is only a few months old?
"It's too early." Li Yan looked at her sister's big breasts and asked, "Sister, don't you have any milk?" There was confusion in her eyes.
It shouldn't be so big.
"Yes, there are a lot, but this girl is so disgusted with it. I really don't know what to say to her." After packing up, he quickly handed the person to Li Yan, "Okay, the room stinks. I need to open the window to get some fresh air. Hurry and carry him out."
I have to say, the feces of the child who started eating meat smells really bad, even she, as a mother, is disgusted.
Su Jiani was devastated. She also hated it. It was smelly, too smelly.
But she didn't regret it, she just wanted to eat it, it tasted much better than milk.
"Mother dislikes me, wuwu, mother doesn't love me anymore."
Well, the reborn Su Jiani has become childish.
Listening to her daughter's babbling voice, Li Guixiang patted her butt in discontentment and said, "I just despise you. Let's see if you will still eat in the future."
"Eat, eat more, mother, you can't cut off my food supply."
Okay, this little girl never learns her lesson.
"Haha, look how smart Jiani is. She can understand what your mother says at such a young age." Li Yan laughed and was amused by the mother and daughter.
Sui Sui's little body kept pulling at her mother, "Mom, I want to see my sister, let me see."
"Don't make trouble anymore, let's go out first." She really couldn't stand the smell anymore.
After leaving the house, Li Yan found a stool to sit on under the eaves. The sun was strong outside, but she didn't dare to carry the baby out in the sun, as it would be bad if he got sunburned.
"Come, look, your sister is very greedy." Li Yan looked at the fair and tender little Jiani, her eyes full of heartache for her daughter.
If I could stand on my own feet, I wouldn't have let my daughter suffer so much.
In the future, she also wants to raise her daughter to be plump and white, like Jiani, and look like a little fairy.
"Sister, I'm your elder sister. Come, call me elder sister." Sui Sui became much more cheerful after coming back. Maybe it was because her brothers at home spoiled her too much, which allowed her to slowly accept the crowd.
It’s no longer like before, where you couldn’t even get a single fart out of me even after three hits.
Li Guixiang moved quickly, opened the window and came out with the dirty clothes.
When she got to the well, she pumped up water to wash. "Why are you here? Are you waiting anxiously at home?" Since they were sisters, she naturally didn't have to be so cautious when talking to them.
Say whatever you want to say.
"There's still no news from Baojun, let's wait a little longer."
Li Yan came here not for this matter, but because she was bored at home and her cousin was the only one at home, so she came here to kill time.
"No, I can't tell whether Brother Baojun has replied or not. It's too boring not being at home, so I came to talk to you."
Su Jiani and Sui Sui played with children's language, focusing on the idea that you don't understand what I say and you don't understand what I mean.
But to Li Guixiang, who could hear people's thoughts, it was a different kind of fun.
"It's good that you come and talk to me. We are the only two married women in our village who live back in their parents' home." The two sisters seemed to be in the same situation and felt a bit sympathetic.
"But they are also jealous of us. Last time I heard that Aunt Hongying's daughter came back and asked her family to go to her husband's family to help her."
Li Yan became interested when she heard this. "What's going on? I haven't been out much, so I really didn't know about this."
"What else could it be?" Li Guixiang washed the pants on her hands and explained to Li Yan, "You know Aunt Hongying's daughter. She was caught by her husband's family for being unruly. She has to live under pressure in her husband's family. She might have been beaten severely last time, so now she has come back to her parents' home."
Li Yan knew about Aunt Hongying's daughter. "She deserves it. Her husband treats her well. Why can't she understand what's going on with her brother-in-law? I don't know what's going on in her head."
Speaking of this, Li Yan immediately thought of something her mother told her, but she didn't expect it was the daughter of Aunt Hongying.
"Fang Ping used to brag about how good her man was to her in front of us, but it's only been a few years and it's become like this." Li Yan was full of emotion.
"That's right. I still remember running into her when I went back to my parents' home. She even teased me." Li Guixiang also recalled some past events. "But now, I'm afraid she can't laugh anymore."
Li Yan chuckled, "Will her family help her? Or should they bring her back?" It is true that Lijia Village is very united, but there are always some unruly people.
"Who knows? My mother didn't let me find out because she was afraid that we would get into trouble. You know what kind of people that family is, so I dare not bring trouble home." Li Guixiang shook her head, her eyes full of teasing.
"Yeah, just listen to it for fun. If you really wanted to bring her back, you wouldn't have waited until now. If you brought her back earlier, I'm afraid they wouldn't let her go."
When the women get together, they talk about either children or men, or other gossip. These two people don't like gossiping.
You have to go to the village stream and under the iron pear tree, that's where the real gossip gathers.
