Song Jin's life is back on track, and everything is arranged properly for the people around her and herself.
Three months later, Chen Liang also came back.
After completing his last trip, he went straight back to Heilongjiang Province. In fact, it would have taken him two months to return to Beijing.
But after he went home and told his parents about his plan, the captain and his wife fell silent.
They knew very well that once the third brother left, it would be difficult for them to meet again in the future.
On the one hand, they hope he will go, after all, it is the capital, and he has even found a job. If he can stay in Beijing in the future, it will be a blessing for their Chen family's ancestors, and the starting point of the third brother's lineage will be in Beijing.
On the other hand, they felt that this son was born to Song Jin. If he left, it would be good-looking. His son went to Beijing to work. Only they themselves knew the pain in their hearts, but they could not hinder their son's future.
Chen Liang also felt sorry for his parents. The reason he could leave so freely was that he had three other sons at home. Although the eldest son almost forgot about his family after he got married, at least he still had the second and fourth sons at home.
After comprehensive consideration, he gave his job to his second brother Chen Lin.
My eldest brother took over his father-in-law's job at the fertilizer factory. Except when he was urged by his eldest sister-in-law to come back and pretend to be poor to ask for food and money, he rarely came back.
My second brother became the brigade's tractor driver because of the tractor that Ajin drove back before. However, the brigade rarely used tractors in those days. Except for delivering grain, everyone took good care of them and would not use them if possible.
The brigade had another tractor driver, so there was no shortage of people. So my second brother was still working most of the time. The work in the fields was very tiring, and my second brother looked even older than my eldest brother.
As for the fourth child, Chen Chen, he had just entered high school. According to his dream, after he graduated from his second year of high school, the college entrance examination would be resumed in less than half a year. He had always had good academic performance.
So after careful consideration, Chen Liang took advantage of the weekend when the fourth brother came back and called his second brother and his family back as well.
As for the boss, he didn't even think about it.
Chen Liang rode his bike to the state-owned restaurant in town and packed up a few main dishes, including braised pork, braised fish, twice-cooked pork with chili peppers, ten big meat buns and ten steamed buns.
I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and went in to buy two bottles of wine.
After buying it, I went straight to the school gate of the fourth child, Chen Chen, waited for him to come out of school, and then rode my bike to take him back.
When I got back, it was already time to get off work, and my second brother and his family had also arrived.
Chen Liang was preparing dinner. The team leader's wife and Chen Ersao came back from work early and had already cooked porridge and steamed buns, and mixed a cold dish.
Chen Lin looked at the dishes for tonight with some confusion. At noon, his mother came over and told them to have dinner together as a family, saying that the third child had something to say. He didn't expect that there would be a table full of delicious food and wine. He felt strange and confused.
Everyone else was very happy, especially Chen Ersao and her two children. The two little boys were just craving for meat. Usually, they could only eat meat during the Chinese New Year, and that was just a few slices of meat in the dishes. But there were several pots of meat on the table, and they couldn't wait.
Chen Liang poured wine for his father and second brother, thought for a moment, and then looked at his mother and second sister-in-law:
"Mom, sister-in-law, do you want some?"
Mrs. Chen waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can't drink it, you guys drink it."
The captain's wife rolled her eyes at him: "I got me drunk and you're here to deal with me?"
Chen Liang chuckled and put down the wine bottle.
"Everyone, let's eat first. I have something to say after you've had enough."
When he finished speaking, the captain nodded at the food on the table:
"Eat first, and we'll talk about it after we finish eating."
After he spoke, everyone picked up their chopsticks. Faced with such a delicious table, no one had the heart to talk. For a while, the table was filled with the sound of dishes and bowls, mixed with the happy screams of children:
"Mom, this meat is so soft and delicious."
"Yeah, Mom, I think it's delicious too. And this fish is delicious too."
In addition to eating, Chen Liang was also responsible for pouring wine for his father and second brother. However, he did not dare to let them drink too much. Each of them only drank three small cups. One reason was that his mother was reluctant to drink it and wanted to save it for later, and the other was that Chen Liang was afraid that they would get drunk and affect what he would say later.
After dinner, the captain's wife and Chen Ersao cleaned up the dishes together.
Brother Chen couldn't hold it in any longer: "Old Three, what do you want to say? Just say it quickly."
Chen Liang saw his second brother's curiosity:
"Second brother, wait a little longer. Let's talk about it together when mother and second sister-in-law come over."
This made Brother Chen even more curious and a little nervous. The third brother was being too formal.
He glanced towards the kitchen again and again, hoping that his mother and wife would come faster.
Finally, they both came back after finishing their work.
Two children were playing in the yard, and several adults were sitting in the main room.
Chen Liang looked at his second brother and his wife, who looked like they were saying something, and finally spoke after getting serious.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, I'm going to Beijing."
Chen Lin and his wife were both shocked for a moment.
"Going to Jing City? Are you going to Jing City to find Song Zhiqing?"
It was Chen Ersao Zhou Linlin who reacted first. She knew about the affair between the third brother and the educated youth Song Jin. There were always all kinds of rumors in the brigade. She also guessed it from the behavior of her family members.
I also know that Song Zhiqing had returned to the city last year. Her family is in Beijing, so naturally she returned to Beijing. Now that my brother-in-law said he was going to Beijing, he must be looking for her.
She was a little envious of Song Jin, as someone was willing to travel thousands of miles to follow her, but she also felt a little uncomfortable. The eldest child had not come back, and the fourth child still had to go to school and spend money. In the past, the third child was there and could earn money to take care of the two elders. If he left, and went so far away, then the old couple and the fourth child would have to be taken care of by only the couple in the future.
Chen Liang knew what his second sister-in-law was thinking, so he immediately continued:
"I went to Beijing before the New Year. I had already found Ajin. Although part of the reason was because of her, the final decision was still my own. Beijing is the capital of our country, and I also longed to go there.
This time when I went to Beijing, I had already found a job and had almost completed the employment procedures. I just had to wait for the transportation team to transfer my household registration.
So what I want to discuss with you today is my work here."
Having said this, he stopped and looked at the expressions of Chen Lin and his wife. The second brother was still a little confused, but the second sister-in-law had obviously figured it out, and her face showed some uncontrollable excitement.
He looked at the fourth child, Chen Chen, who had listened to him obediently from beginning to end, and continued:
"Here's my plan, Chenchen. Keep studying. I heard something on my trip: national development requires talent. Our country can't stay the way it is. From what I've heard, the college entrance exams should be reinstated within two years. So, your future lies in school. You've just started high school, so continue reviewing after you graduate. Don't give up studying and be prepared for the college entrance exam."
Chen Chen looked at his third brother with sparkling eyes and nodded repeatedly:
"Yeah, I know, Third Brother. I will definitely study hard, don't worry."
Chen Liang nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Chen Lin and his wife.
