Chapter 202: Eating melons in the era (XIV)
Gu Xiaoni is going to work in the factory!
This news, as if it had wings, spread quickly in Gujia Village.
Among the villagers, some were envious, some were jealous, and some even did not believe.
"Impossible! Gu Xiaoni is a country girl whose in-laws kicked her out. How could she possibly become a worker?"
If she had taken over her husband's job, people would have understood.
But, "rely on yourself"? Haha, considering that Gu Xiaoni has no education and no special skills, it is impossible.
In fact, not to mention outsiders, even the Gu family members were a little bit skeptical.
Gu Qingcheng didn't waste any time and went straight to the millstone at the entrance of the village. He lifted up the stone mill weighing several hundred kilograms with one hand.
The Gu family and the villagers of Gujia Village were all stunned! Then, no one disbelieved it anymore.
With this much strength, he can do the work of ten people as a loader in a factory.
"I knew my little girl would have a promising future!"
Mother Gu's face was filled with pride and her heart was filled with joy.
The eldest brother Gu, the second brother Gu and the youngest brother Gu also followed suit and grinned foolishly.
The daughters-in-law of the Gu family are really smart.
While Mrs. Gu was diligently picking up food for Gu Qingcheng, she tentatively asked, "Xiao Ni, can I get a job in the factory just because I'm strong?"
"Your elder brother is quite strong, and he has received education, even to the level of a senior high school student."
Gaoxiao is the level of fourth or fifth grade in elementary school.
If this statement were made in later times, it would definitely be a complete joke.
But in this era of extremely high illiteracy rate, a high school diploma is also a "diploma" that can be shown off.
"And your second brother is also very strong! Most importantly, your second brother is smart and learns everything quickly!"
Mrs. Gu was unwilling to be left behind and spoke hastily.
Gu Si's wife was about to speak, but was interrupted by Gu's father: "Alright! Stop talking! Xiao Ni hasn't entered the factory yet, and I haven't established myself yet."
These words seemed to be reprimanding the daughters-in-law for making things difficult for others.
But then, Father Gu changed the subject and said, "When Xiaoni does well in the factory, she will naturally remember her brothers at home!"
As he spoke, Father Gu stared at Gu Qingcheng, "Xiao Ni, am I right?"
Gu Qingcheng nodded, "Yes!"
She does support her brothers in the family.
In the previous world, she was willing to take care of even the best family like the Zhao family, let alone her biological brothers in this life.
The Gu family in this world does not love their daughter as much as the butcher Gu in the previous world.
But it’s not too bad.
Human hearts are biased to begin with, and favoring boys over girls is a "rule" that has been passed down for one or two thousand years.
There's no way around it. Men are born with advantages over women when it comes to serving in the military, fighting in wars, and working in the fields.
In today's rural areas, more males means more strong laborers.
Only with strong labor can we earn work points and have food and money.
This is closely related to survival.
Gu's father and mother also love their daughter, but they rely more on their son for support in their old age.
Therefore, only if their son lives well can they live better too.
"I will go to the factory first to learn some skills. When I have mastered them, I will come back and teach them to my brothers."
"When the time comes, we will have the technology and factories will be hiring, and we will have the confidence!"
Gu Qingcheng said this very generously.
Everyone in the Gu family felt relieved and happy after hearing this.
This is what a good daughter (good sister) is.
Moreover, Gu Qingcheng agreed so readily and had even thought of an implementation plan in advance, so the three brothers of the Gu family were reluctant to put forward excessive conditions.
However, in private, Gu Laosi still found Gu Qingcheng and said, "Sister, look at my body, I really can't do heavy work."
My sister got into the factory through great effort.
From this we can see that workers in machinery factories still have to do heavy work.
When Gu's mother gave birth to Gu Lao Si, she encountered a difficult labor and Gu Lao Si was born with congenital deficiencies.
He is the youngest son, so his parents and brothers and sisters all take special care of him.
Gu Laosi was raised to be a little "spoiled".
He is also the only one among the four children in the Gu family who has completed junior high school.
Although he was educated, he could not do heavy work. After graduating from school, he returned to the production team and only with the help of his father Gu did he find an easy job.
But, Gu Laosi was unwilling to give in.
No matter how easy the work in the production brigade was, it was still not as good as eating commercial grain in the city.
There was no way in the past, but now that his sister has become successful, Gu Laosi also sees hope.
Gu Qingcheng looked at her younger brother's slightly frail appearance, thought for a moment, and said, "What do you think?"
"...I, I don't know! Sister, you are the most capable in our family, please help me think about it. I will listen to you!"
Gu Laosi has a very bachelor attitude, so he relies on his sister.
Gu Qingcheng nodded secretly: Good, just know how to be obedient!
"I see that there is only one health worker in the clinic of our production brigade, but our production brigade has three villages."
The three villages together have more than 1,300 households.
Serious illnesses will definitely not be treated in the clinic.
But if you have a headache, fever, cuts or burns, you will still go to the clinic.
Gu Laosi has read books and can calm down, so he can try to learn it.
"Health worker?"
Gu Laosi's eyes lit up.
Hello, hygienist.
Even if you are just a barefoot doctor, it is better than working in the fields.
Sitting in the house, protected from the wind and rain, getting injections and taking medicine, the production team would give you work points.
The key is that this is a skill that will be useful at any time! "I'll find you a teacher, and you can learn first."
"Then, when I go to the factory, I will find a way to get you a place to study in the hospital."
After systematic training in the hospital, you will be qualified to practice medicine.
Even if you can't be a health worker, you can be a barefoot doctor!
Gu Qingcheng herself possesses skills in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
But, Gu Xiaoni didn’t!
The character setting cannot collapse! Moreover, in this life, Gu Qingcheng never wanted to make a living by medical skills.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Hey! Okay! Thank you, sis!"
Gu Laosi was almost going crazy with joy.
He immediately told his wife and mother the good news.
Gu Si's wife and Gu's mother were also very excited.
The way they looked at Gu Qingcheng was just like looking at a turtle in a wishing well. Oh no, no, it was the Bodhisattva Guanyin who would grant any wish.
Gu Qingcheng went for a walk outside the village and, with the help of the Su sisters, established a relationship with Doctor Wei.
Then, Gu Laosi began his secret medical studies.
"Xiao Ni, you are almost five months pregnant. In another five months, you will give birth!"
"You left the Qiao family and took care of the child alone in the city. What would you do?"
Since her daughter is willing to support her brothers and is not an ungrateful person, her mother will be even more loving to her.
She began to worry about her daughter.
"You can rent a house, but who will take care of you when you give birth?"
"And Qiao'er, who will help you watch over her?"
Seeing Mother Gu's concerned look, Gu Qingcheng didn't care at all whether this "maternal love" was mixed with selfishness.
She would just accept it happily and follow her mother's words, saying, "Confinement is indeed a bit troublesome."
"Oh, what are you afraid of? We still have mom and our sisters-in-law!"
Mrs. Gu and the other three sisters-in-law all patted their chests.
If we say that Gu Xiaoni’s previous statement that “I will learn the skills first and then teach my brother” was somewhat unrealistic, it might be considered as an empty promise.
However, Gu Laosi's successful apprenticeship gave Gu Dasao and others hope.
This sister-in-law is really capable!
The key is that she is willing to support her parents' family!
This person can get along.
With such a sister-in-law, several sisters-in-law, including Gu Dasao, are also willing to show closeness to her.
Not only would they not object to their mother-in-law going to the city to take care of the baby after childbirth, they themselves would also be willing to help.
Gu Xiaoni has three brothers.
Parents are always partial, let alone younger sisters.
Gu Xiaoni is the most promising person in the Gu family, so she is definitely not stupid.
She knows clearly who treats her well and who treats her badly.
Just like Gu Lao Si, when Gu Xiaoni got married, the eldest and second brothers Gu were just grinning and drinking, but this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy ran to Qiao Jianguo and said something harsh -
"Qiao Jianguo, I'm telling you! Don't bully my sister just because you're from the city!"
"My sister has someone in her family! If you bully her, I'll hit you with a brick!"
Gu Laosi's words sounded more like the foolish behavior of a half-grown child who cared about his reputation.
But, to the sister who is about to get married, it makes her feel confident.
How could Gu Xiaoni not be moved and not remember the favor of Lao Si? "The sister-in-law helped Lao Si first, probably because of what Lao Si said at the beginning!"
In secret, Mrs. Gu Da and Mrs. Gu Er were muttering like this.
Mrs. Gu didn't say anything, but she had her own little plan in mind.
She glanced at Mrs. Gu's big belly and was secretly delighted: Mrs. Gu should be pregnant one or two months earlier than her younger sister-in-law.
Gu's mother is a mother-in-law, and she cannot abandon her eldest daughter-in-law and grandson to take care of her own daughter.
Otherwise, this would be a topic of conversation for her entire life.
In the future, Mrs. Gu will be able to justify her unfilial behavior: "Go find your daughter! I gave birth to a child, and you ignored me and went to serve your daughter."
"Now that you are old and unable to move, and need elderly care, you come to me?"
Although the eldest sister-in-law would not really ignore her mother-in-law, she dared to throw things around and curse in front of her mother-in-law because she had this handle! Gu's mother was not a fool. She knew how to choose between a daughter-in-law who could provide for her in her old age and a daughter who was married off.
There is no one to take care of my sister-in-law.
It just so happens that she, the second sister-in-law, can go! When her sister-in-law was in such a difficult time, she helped her, and her sister-in-law would definitely be grateful.
Moreover, with this "favor", when Mrs. Gu asks her sister-in-law for help, she will feel more justified and it is her duty!
Hearing Mother Gu talking to her sister-in-law about giving birth and confinement, Second Sister-in-law Gu said nothing in front of her eldest sister-in-law.
When there was no one around, she found Gu Qingcheng and said, "Don't worry, my child's aunt. I'll go to the city to wait on you when the time comes!"
Gu Qingcheng curled her lips: That’s right, this is a family that loves each other!
It's not about the intention, it's about the deeds. As long as it looks good, why bother to care whether it's sincere or not? "Okay! I know my sisters-in-law love me!"
My second sister-in-law is willing to take care of me during the confinement period.
As for the eldest sister-in-law, she also knew her own situation and didn't dare to make any promises. She asked her husband to pack some vegetables and dried mushrooms, and put them in a bag for Gu Qingcheng to take back to the city to eat! PS: A late update, please give me your monthly votes!
