Chapter 387 The Enemy Arrives Late at Night
Diao Yulian wiped her hands, went back to the west room and lay down, tossing and turning on the mat.
Wu Shengli had just fallen asleep when he was woken up again. He was feeling annoyed, but looking at his wife's ugly face, he didn't dare to speak too harshly.
"What's wrong? Is this kang scratching anyone?"
Diao Yulian glared at him, "How dare you talk like that? Are you looking for a fight?"
Wu Shengli suppressed his anger.
After a lot of tossing and turning, the two of them lost their sleepiness and sat up to lean against the headboard.
"What do you think our Jiabao is thinking? He insists on staying in Yangcheng.
I'm not going to live there forever, am I?"
Today is Orange's graduation party. Everyone who can come is here, except her Jiabao who doesn't have time to come back.
She was unhappy even during lunch.
When Wu Shengli mentioned this, he also felt worried: "What else can I do? Should I quit the assigned work?"
Diao Yulian found the right position and twisted the soft flesh on the man's waist hard.
"It's all your fault for not stopping me when I was filling out the application form."
Wu Shengli grimaced in pain: "Hiss~ No, didn't you object when I filled it in?"
"Then why didn't you stop me from objecting?"
Diao Yulian turned on the unreasonable mode with one click.
"Jiabao is alone in Yangcheng, and his company hasn't allocated him a house yet. It's inconvenient for us to go there to see our son and rest."
She still felt it was better to have her son around, at least if he had a headache or a fever, she could immediately lend a hand.
Wu Shengli scratched his head and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll save some money and see if I can buy a set later.
Didn’t the Xie family just buy a house in Pengcheng? Just pay it back later.”
When Diao Yulian first learned that Gao Xiulan had bought a house, she sneered in her heart.
What a sucker! He has two big houses at home, but he still wants to buy a house in the south. He really has no place to spend his money?
"When you talk so much, someone who doesn't know you would think you have a lot of money."
Now she doesn't think so anymore. At least having a house makes it more convenient for her to visit Jiabao.
Wu Shengli took an apricot and started to eat it, then turned around and put the pot on his son's head.
"I think it's because Jiabao is unmarried, so couples who work together are at the front of the queue when it comes to housing allocation at the company.
How could he get a number so quickly when he's single and from out of town? "
Of course, the steel mill has not built a new building for a long time, and new employees have tried their best to get a room.
If both the couple are working, there is still some hope.
Diao Yulian had already made plans and asked Jin Qiaofeng to introduce a girl with a gentle personality and decent family conditions to match her Jia Jiabao.
But that’s not possible now, at least Jin Qiaofeng’s matchmaking agency hasn’t opened in Guangzhou yet!
“It’s so annoying, my children are all debts.
If that's the case, why don't we save the money we earn and spend it on ourselves when we go to the hospital later?"
In 1990, Diao Yulian rented two rooms on Qianmen Street and opened a cosmetics store.
Because of her good skills, she has made a lot of connections by doing makeup for brides in the past few years.
The business of the store is pretty good, and it makes a lot of money every month.
"Pah, pah, pah, we are still so young, don't say such discouraging words, there are still many days to come."
Wu Shengli sighed and patted her hands to comfort her.
"Jiabao is already old enough to make his own decisions, so there's no point in you worrying about him.
Besides, look at Chunyan, isn't she living well outside alone?"
When talking about their eldest daughter, the couple looked a little unhappy.
Over the years, Wu Chunyan would send six dollars every month after work.
What can you do with six dollars a month these days?
After much persuasion and sending many letters, the price finally increased to ten yuan in 1990.
It's not that I didn't try to find him, but he avoided me.
They traveled thousands of miles and couldn't even get into the family compound.
Apart from being upset, Wu Chunyan suffered no loss!
"Can our Jiabao be the same? He has been raised by me since he was little, and his health is not very good.
Now I’m working alone outside, and I feel bad just thinking about it.”
Diao Yulian hit her chest a few times, but it still felt a little painful because she used too much force. She pulled the man over and hit his chest instead.
Wu Shengli coughed a few times and said frankly: "There's nothing we can do. Our family doesn't have the connections to transfer Jiabao back from Yangcheng."
Wu Jiabao graduated from university in 1991 and was assigned to work at the Postal Administration.
"I have to think about whether there is a girl in Jin Qiaofeng's family who is the leader of the system."
Diao Yulian pondered inwardly.
Wu Shengli breathed a sigh of relief. This woman found something to do, and at least it gave him a break.
In his opinion, Wu Jiabao's current job is much easier than his job in the factory.
Working in an office sounds so respectable!
The Xie family in the east is packing their things, and Xiong Chuan and his friends are taking the train tonight.
Lin Xiaotong and Gao Xiulan squatted on the ground and put the packed things into the bag, while Xie Yi held the bag on the side.
Xie Da Jiao took a jar from the inner room and poked his head out: "Xiu Lan, do you want to take this?"
Gao Xiulan waved her hand and said, "Bring it!"
Lin Xiaotong took it and stuffed it in.
Xiong Chuan and Chi Yao were sitting on the small stool. The two adults had messy hair and dull eyes.
The two men had just failed in their fight and were sent to a corner to rest to avoid delaying their work.
Chuyi and Chengzi were packing their things in the room.
Finally, I packed three bags, two large and one small, before I could stop.
Lin Xiaotong took a sip of water and thought of something else.
"Oh, and there are also developed photos."
In addition to the Tiananmen Gate Tower, the Xiongchuan family also visited the Great Wall, Xiushui Street, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Shichahai and other places. Chengzi also helped take a lot of photos.
"Mom, my sister and I helped put it away. We put it all in this bag."
Hearing the voices, Chengzi came out of the small room with her sister.
Chuyi raised his head and patted the wrapped photo album in his hands, almost clapping his hands in satisfaction.
Lin Xiaotong immediately gave a thumbs up.
"You two are awesome!"
Gao Xiulan enjoyed Chengzi's shoulder and leg massage service and felt comfortable.
"Have breakfast tonight, and I'll take you to the train station later."
Chi Yao looked at the large and small bags on the ground and was deeply moved.
"Auntie, there's really no need to send me off. We can just call a taxi when we get out of the alley.
There are a lot of mosquitoes outside at night, so I won’t bother you going back and forth.”
Xiong Chuan continued, "Yes, yes, Auntie, we are all family, there's really no need to send me off."
"What's the problem? It's so hot in the summer nights that I can't sleep too early. Why don't I go for a walk near the train station?"
Xie Dajiao was fanning Xiulan with a palm-leaf fan.
Gao Xiulan made the decision: "Your uncle is right. Besides, we have to give and take. It won't get in the way."
Basically, when everyone in the Xie family goes out, there will be family members going to the platform to see them off, except for those who go on a family trip.
Xie Yi scratched his arm and asked, "Mom, do you want to eat cold noodles tonight?"
Xie Da Jiao slapped his thigh and said, "Eat!"
Lin Xiaotong also liked this dish and raised her hand to suggest, "Add more shredded cucumber and radish. I'll do the chopping."
"Is there any fried peanuts left this morning? I'll go look for them."
Xiongchuan held a grape in his mouth and went to the kitchen in his flowered shorts.
…
"Uncle, aunt, Xie Dayi, Xiaotong, Chengzi, let's go. We'll go to the south to eat jackfruit when we have time."
The Xie family and others sent the three of them to the station and returned on a tricycle.
"Go back to the house and sleep. It's quite cool with the breeze tonight."
"Why."
After the east light, which was the last to go out, went out, the courtyard became silent.
Several people lurking in the darkness also began to act.
