After getting the job, Chen Manman moved to the town. She had no burdens, and with the subsidies from her family and her own income, she could afford to rent a house in the town.
The remaining three former educated youths all had burdens, so they were more careful with their spending. Anyway, the distance between the team and the town was only ten minutes by bicycle, and if they rode fast, they would arrive in just a few minutes.
They used the money to buy bicycles repaired by the team and traveled between the brigade and the factory every day.
Although the team would lose its income if they went to town, they would have spacious houses and could find some things in the mountains to supplement their household income in their spare time. It was more affordable than living in town where even water cost money.
Doro: "We don't like going there. They always ask us what we ate. They're obviously trying to steal our food."
This kid's stinginess hasn't improved at all in the past two or three years. Even if Erdan and the others who are good friends with him don't bring anything to eat, he won't give them any of the food in his house unless they contribute their labor or bring something in exchange.
Gao Shujing was sent to the countryside as an educated youth, yet he has risen to his current position, possessing both connections and income.
The educated youth were quick-witted and thought about building a good relationship with Gao Shujing so that he could help them get a job by speaking to various units in the town.
The educated youth came over several times, but were dismissed with just a few words each time. So they set their sights on the children, and would always try to tease them whenever they saw them.
The other three kids didn't have much of a problem with the people at the educated youth compound; they just ignored them if they didn't want to.
Duolu was particularly sensitive to the educated youth asking him what he wanted to eat. In his eyes, these people were eyeing his food and trying to steal it from him; they were not good people.
Yu Rujia did not correct Duolu's idea. There were too many things to do with the educated youth. As long as they could keep them away from the educated youth, it would be a success. What did it matter if they thought about it a little more?
Yu Rujia: "You don't need to tell anyone about these things. Duoshou, keep an eye on Duolu and Duoxi when you go out. If you see anything wrong, take them away."
Duofu is getting older, and knowing that there are many more things to do at home after Duoji's birth, he spends more time at home taking care of Duoji, becoming the "big brother" after Gao Shujing, the "dad".
Duoshou wasn't very interested in going out to play. He preferred to stay at home and learn medicine from Yu Rujia. However, the little guy was too young, so Yu Rujia would teach him a little every day, but wouldn't let him stay at home all day to study or do chores.
It's one thing not to want Duoshou to say goodbye to his childhood too early, but another thing is that Duolu and Duoxi can't think straight and always want to resort to fists when things get tough.
Because of their strength and martial arts training, their combat power far surpassed that of the other children in the group, which made them fearless and always thinking about running around.
Without Duofu keeping an eye on them from the outside, the two little ones became even more reckless when they went wild.
Last time we went into the mountains and encountered wild boars, everyone else was running away, but those two silly brothers actually charged at them with their fists raised. They're so stupid, how can we trust them?
Duofu had to stay home to look after Duoji, leaving the two silly brothers in the care of Duoshou, the second most reliable kid in the family.
Duolu, who was not sure of his own abilities, was unhappy with Yu Rujia's distrust. He pouted and said, "I would never talk about family matters with others. Besides, I am the older brother. If anyone is going to watch over Duoshou, it should be me."
Duoshou rolled her eyes: "My aunt asked me to keep an eye on you, not entirely because of family matters, but mainly to prevent you from doing anything reckless."
Duolu's chubby little face was full of indignation: "How could I have done anything wrong? I don't hit people much anymore, and I listen to my aunt."
Duoxi always did whatever his second brother said, and the little guy puffed out his little chest to support his second brother: "Yes, we haven't fought in a long time, I'll listen to my second brother."
Duoshou slapped the little boy on the forehead to make him behave, then turned to the mischievous Duolu and said, "You don't fight much anymore, but you're always thinking about running into the mountains. If we hadn't arrived in time last time, you would have been gored by a wild boar."
Although Duoshou's fighting skills were not as good as Duolu's, he was smart. When he saw the two silly brothers fighting against the wild boar, he did not rush in directly, but calmly analyzed the situation.
Under his command and with the cooperation of Hua Zi and Gou Dan, they successfully captured the wild boar and rescued the two silly brothers.
Duolu couldn't refute this. He was not only injured that time, but also drank bitter medicine for half a month and was punished by being unable to leave the house for a month. Even so, he still felt a little guilty.
Yu Rujia glanced at Duolu, and the little guy, who had been sitting up straight, immediately shrunk back and said ingratiatingly, "Auntie, I'm not going to the mountain anymore."
Yu Rujia said calmly, "It's fine if you go. If you get gored by a wild boar one day, I'll find a place to bury you, just like Grandpa Stinky Egg did."
Grandpa Chou Dan passed away not long ago. He was over seventy years old, which is considered a long life in this day and age.
Yu Rujia's medical skills are excellent, but they cannot change the Book of Life and Death of the King of Hell.
The little ones, including Duolu, went to check on it and realized that once buried, they would never come out. They were so frightened that tears welled up in their eyes: "Auntie, I will definitely stay far away from the mountains from now on, please don't bury me."
After breakfast, Gao Shujing brought over the baby, Dorje. The little guy smelled the familiar scent, stretched out his little paws and waved them toward Yu Rujia, making gurgling noises, looking completely innocent.
Yu Rujia held the little guy in her arms and started playing with him. A child who doesn't cry or act up is an angel, and it's hard not to feel a little soft-hearted when you see him.
Gao Shujing watched his wife and children playfully fighting with eyes as clear as a gentle spring stream, occasionally reaching out to join in the commotion.
The little guy had limited energy, and after fussing for a while, he fell asleep. Gao Shujing put him in the cradle and let him sleep there by himself.
The couple were talking quietly over there.
Gao Shujing: "Rujia, Guojing graduated from high school. He wants to join the army. It's not the time for recruitment yet, so he wants to go to the countryside and stay here for a year or two. When there is recruitment, we'll let him try."
Yu Rujia was very welcoming of Gao Guojing's arrival; who could refuse a hardworking and conscientious laborer?
Yu Rujia: "That's great. If he can't enlist, we can find him a job in town. It's much easier than with his parents. They won't have any objections, right?"
Gao Shujing has done so many good deeds at various factories that they had already told him they could arrange jobs for his family.
Yu Rujia didn't need to work, and Gao Shujing didn't have any other family members who needed to work. He didn't want to use his connections on outsiders, so he turned down all those jobs.
At most, when I learn about job openings, I'll let a few families I'm close to whisper in their ear, telling them to read more books.
Whether they can get the job depends entirely on their own abilities.
