Erniu was sobbing and pointing at the Lin siblings, saying that he and Shuchu wanted to go to school with them. In the end, he was also put on the tricycle. Lin Fuqiang was really ashamed to face people at this moment.
Lin Guoqing waited until everyone had left before he took out the pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to Lin Fuqiang.
Lin Fuqiang quickly pushed him out, "No, no, Guoqing, if you keep doing this, I'm really going to dig a hole and bury myself in it."
"I bought this yesterday specifically for you. You've borrowed my bicycle so many times, you have to accept it. If you don't accept it, I don't smoke, so it won't be a waste." Lin Guoqing squeaked, stuffed it into his hand, and then wiped his face.
"Let's put it this way. I can't do anything about my sister-in-law questioning me, but I really didn't make a lot of money. You know, my family used to have to find ways to exchange for food coupons..."
"I know! I know!" Lin Fuqiang's fifty-year-old face was almost burning. He never expected that Lin Guoqing actually came to give him a gift early in the morning.
This is Daqianmen, and cigarettes cost 35 cents a pack, and you need cigarette coupons to buy them. Lin Guoqing's gift was truly generous. But then, that troublemaker at home had caused this situation.
"National Day, I, I,... Hi! I'm so sorry for you, that bitch. Yesterday she was fighting with your mother, and today she's bringing up these rubbish again. She's been causing trouble all day long!"
Lin Guoqing raised his eyebrows. Was there something going on yesterday? He really didn't know. He probably didn't have time to tell him.
"Don't worry! I'll definitely stand by you. If anyone else talks behind your back, I'll be the first to come out and clear things up for you! And Ma Fengjuan! I'll try not to let her go out anymore!"
What could Lin Guoqing say? At most, he would say some polite words, saying that it was unnecessary or something like that. But in his heart, he still felt that what Lin Fuqiang said was right. Ma Fengjuan was really a troublemaker. It would be better for both himself and others if he could keep her out of the spotlight.

Chen Chunhua brought the children to the field. Following Liang Shengdi's instructions, she found a place to put down the eel cage and long bamboo basket, and then started to do her own work, leaving Lin Shumei with a pouting mouth, squatting by the field to watch the cage.
Wang Jingui came to work on time, and as soon as she arrived at the field, she informed Chen Chunhua about her husband's heroic deeds.
"Hey, when Ma Fengjuan opens her mouth, those people act like you guys have robbed them of their food. And when your husband says he's quitting, their faces instantly change, and they all blame Ma Fengjuan!"
Wang Jingui's mother-in-law was squatting at the gate to eat early in the morning. She saw some young wives running back and forth nearby, saying that Lin Guoqing's family had bought a new car or something, so she went to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, she saw a good show, and when she came back, she told her family about it.
Chen Chunhua curled her lips, not in a good mood, "So, it's the most difficult to handle matters involving acquaintances. If you handle it well, then you deserve it. If you don't handle it well or if someone is fanning the flames, then they will think your family has taken advantage of you!"
Therefore, only routines can win people's hearts!
"Who says it's not true?" Wang Jingui also agreed with this. Sometimes it is better to help outsiders than to help your own people. Outsiders will know how to be grateful, but your own people will just take it for granted.
At noon, after lunch, little Shumei was already half asleep on Lin Guoqing's shoulder. The couple took her home for a nap.
Before he reached the door, he saw a well-dressed woman standing in front of his house looking around. It was probably because Liang Shengdi had not returned yet and there was no one at home, so she had to wait outside.
"Zhong Hui?" Chen Chunhua squinted. Was it really her? Why had she come to Sihe Village specifically to find her? Could it be that Shen Laicai and Qian Laier were really going to have a funeral?
"Third sister, third brother-in-law." Zhong Hui came on time. The working hours in Sihe Village were the same as their village, so she came to look for someone at this time when dinner was almost over.
Lin Guoqing and Zhong Hui had little in common, so he nodded to her, called his sister-in-law, and took the child inside to take a nap. Chen Chunhua led Zhong Hui in and poured her a bowl of water first.
"Have you eaten yet? If not, there are some sweet potatoes warming in the pot. I just cooked a lot today..."
Zhong Hui quickly waved her hands, "I've eaten, I've eaten. I ate a big steamed bun on the way here!" She pinched the corner of her clothes a little nervously, not knowing how to talk to Shen Chunhua about this topic.
Chen Chunhua noticed her awkwardness and smiled, "Sister-in-law, although I don't have much affection for the Shen family, and I don't have much of a sisterly relationship with Lao Wu, since you're here and always have something to ask me, it's better to just be frank. I'll lend a hand wherever I can, and I won't force myself to help you if I can't."
Seeing that Chen Chunhua had said so much, Zhong Hui stopped being so hypocritical.
"Then I'll be frank. Third sister, you know I was sent to the countryside as an educated youth. I had just graduated from high school before going there. The college entrance examination is being resumed this year, so I've registered and will be able to take the exam next month."
Chen Chunhua raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you going to take the college entrance examination?" This was something she didn't know in her previous life.
Zhong Hui nodded. "Yes, I will. This is the only way for me to go back."
In fact, since last year, educated youth with some connections have begun to return to the city. However, there are conditions for returning home. If you have married and started a family in the countryside, you are no longer eligible to return home.
Her parents both advised her to divorce Shen Qiusheng and return to the city. Many educated youth did the same, leaving home and abandoning their children just to return to the city.
Zhong Hui was indeed tempted, but at that time, the child's household registration had not yet been settled, and she couldn't bear to leave her child. And now...
"My uncle was promoted to director of Chengdong Commune this year. He helped me get my child's household registration."
Zhong Hui thought about it and finally told the truth to this aunt and sister-in-law whom she was not very familiar with, "It's under my parents' name."
Chen Chunhua was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. "You mean, your son has become your brother?"
Zhong Hui nodded and sighed, "I can't help it. It's also my fault for being young and impulsive. I got married on impulse. If I hadn't done that, my child would have had to keep a rural household registration for the rest of his life."
She didn't hesitate to criticize Chen Chunhua when she said this. Firstly, it was because Chen Chunhua looked like the type that wanted the Shen family to be extinct as soon as possible. Secondly, although Chen Chunhua also had a rural household registration, for some reason, Zhong Hui always felt that this lady was not the kind of person who was ashamed of herself, and she probably didn't mind her identity at all.
"My mother mentioned this when the child was born, but I didn't agree. Later... you know the Shen family is quite chaotic, so I asked my parents to take the child to the city to take care of him. I didn't expect that when they brought him home, they didn't say he was their grandson, but instead said they had found him..."
