Chapter 137 Protection
Chu Tong was afraid that Gu Ci would feel embarrassed. Besides, Chu Dan wasn't married yet, so how could she tease her brother-in-law?
So she said, "There's rice in the pot, just go get it yourself."
Gu Ci went to wash up first, then took out a large bowl from the cupboard to serve the rice.
The rice was yesterday’s leftovers, with eggs and vegetables added to it, fried with lard, and it tasted delicious.
Nowadays, there is no such thing as eating fried rice early in the morning will make it greasy.
Gu Ci thought back to when he was at the educated youth camp, where he either ate sweet potato porridge, boiled sweet potatoes, or unground cornmeal buns in the morning. They tasted like a knife sticking in his throat, making it impossible to swallow.
The food at the Song family is really good now.
Seeing that there was still a lot of food in the pot, he filled a large bowl with it and took it to eat under the eaves, not forgetting to ask, "Did Mom and Dad eat?"
"They are all carrying their bowls out to eat." Chu Dan said, and then asked curiously, "Are you all calling your parents?"
It is said that the accent varies every three miles, the tune varies every ten miles, the style varies every hundred miles, and the customs varies every thousand miles.
The older people here call their parents "Dad" and "Mom".
Nowadays, young people like to call “Ada” and “Mom”.
Suddenly I heard Gu Ci calling "Mom and Dad". I felt a little uncomfortable and even thought it was a bit corny.
In fact, Gu Ci rarely called his biological father "Dad", let alone his stepmother.
But other people are parents like this.
Nowadays, we call father-in-law and mother-in-law "Mom and Dad".
Therefore, he didn't feel awkward calling his father-in-law and mother-in-law like that.
"Yes," Gu Ci asked cautiously, "Is it possible that we can't shout like that?"
He looked around and saw his eldest sister also carrying the bowl out of the door. Then he asked in a low voice like a thief: "Chu Dan, how did the Zhong family call their father-in-law and mother-in-law in the past?"
Chu Dan suppressed his laughter and said, "He also called us dad and mom."
Gu Ci thought to himself: I don’t want to be like him. I will call them mom and dad from now on to appear close to them.
He lied to her seriously, "It's a new society now. People in the city call each other mom and dad. It seems intimate and cultured. Don't you think so?"
Chu Dan thought of himself as a cultured person, and nodded: "What you said makes sense, I will shout like that in the future."
Secretary Song returned home with an empty bowl. When he saw Gu Ci, he said to him, "You should go to the reservoir first for the next few days."
Then he walked closer and whispered, "When you're done over there, you and Chu Hong will go to Shun'an City to learn how to raise ducks."
He was afraid that Gu Ci would not understand his painstaking efforts, so he explained to him in a low voice: "The positions of scorekeeper and team leader in the village are all filled. I can't just replace someone for no reason and let you take over."
Of course, he didn't want his son-in-law to do farm work all the time.
If the breeding farm can be run smoothly, Gu Ci will be able to be in charge of the farm legitimately.
Of course there are advantages and disadvantages.
The farm is afraid of encountering an epidemic, which would result in all the money being lost, and Gu Ci, the person in charge, would also be gossiped about by the villagers.
He was also afraid that Gu Ci would dislike raising ducks and tell others that it was not decent, so he looked at him and asked, "It's okay if you don't want to, I can let someone else go."
These country people probably wouldn't want to go to a city as big as Shunan.
Nowadays, most people feel that it is good to stay at home for a thousand days, but difficult to go out for just one day.
They all feel that the outside world is too chaotic and they are afraid that they will be the unlucky one who will never come back.
Moreover, the country people nowadays have not received many years of education. When they go out, they are afraid of taking the wrong bus, or that the city is too big and they can’t find their way.
But if Gu Ci is unwilling to go, then the educated youth will have to take advantage of it.
He did not consider letting his youngest daughter Chu Dan go because she was young and had not experienced much, and he really did not dare to let her go.
Chu Tong is very satisfied with her current job and doesn't want to go either.
Only Chu Hong was willing, and her position as the director of women's affairs did not require her to always keep an eye on the village.
He thought Chu Hong was ambitious and motivated, so she wanted to seize this opportunity.
In particular, the breeding farm was first proposed by Chu Hong.
Then he must let Chu Hong go this time.
But he didn't know that Chu Hong wanted to run a farm because she wanted to eat braised duck, pickled duck, beer duck, pickled duck eggs, and preserved eggs.
What they didn't know was that Chu Hong wanted to go to Shun'an City to learn duck farming skills in order to take the opportunity to go out for a spin and get some good stuff.
Gu Ci naturally agreed: "Dad, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I am willing to go."
"I will definitely study hard and take good care of Chu Hong."
He is not stupid, so he will not refuse such a good opportunity.
Secretary Song is now his father-in-law and will definitely not let him down.
The most important thing is that Chu Hong will also go, so how can he feel at ease if he doesn’t go with her?
He did not forget that the first time he met Chu Hong, she was ambushed and almost got into trouble.
It's really not safe outside now, he has to go and protect her. He thought Chu Hong was ambitious and motivated, so she wanted to seize this opportunity.
Secretary Song was very satisfied when he heard what he said, and he also reminded him: "This matter has not been confirmed yet, so don't tell anyone, so as to avoid others misunderstanding that we are operating behind the scenes."
Although this is the truth, he still wants his fellow villagers to feel that if they are in trouble, they will also let their daughter and son-in-law go.
Gu Ci agreed immediately and went to work at the reservoir after eating.
Today, Secretary Song's brother was going to apply for a residential plot, so Chu Dan packed up and took a ride.
So when Chu Hong got up, she found that she was the only one left at home.
She was not in a hurry. After eating and drinking her fill, she went to stroll around the brigade headquarters.
She learned from her mother that the brigade's public bicycle had been borrowed by her second uncle, so she gave up the idea of going to the other two villages for a tour.
Wu Xiu reminded her: "When you go to Lingtou Village, be more careful."
Chu Hong nodded: "Don't worry, I cherish my life very much. When I go to the Su family's territory, I will definitely not have conflicts with Secretary Su's family."
Wu Xiu heard her say that and glared at her: "Don't think I'm joking with you. Your elder sister brought Xiao Yu'er back, and you snatched away the husband that Su Jinxiang had chosen. They must hate you to the core."
But unfortunately, my daughter is now the director of the Women's Department, and she has to go to Lingtou Village.
Otherwise it would be a ready-made handle.
But when Chu Hong went to Lingtou Village, she was really worried that the Su family would do something bad.
Even if Secretary Su could tolerate it, his family members might not be as shrewd as he was. If they quarreled with their daughter, they might lose their minds in anger and beat Chu Hong.
Even if you can get back at someone later, you will still suffer, right?
Wu Xiu was so worried because Chu Hong had been talking too much recently and often left people speechless, which made him worried about her.
Chu Hong was not unwilling to listen to her advice. She understood her good intentions, so she stood up and leaned against her to act coquettishly: "Don't worry, Mom. I really remember it."
When she first came, she always felt that Wu Xiu was about the same age as her, and she really couldn't call her "Mom".
But now, she has completely integrated into it, and she doesn't feel awkward when being coquettish towards her.
