Chapter 216: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Twenty-eight)
"Gu Xiaoni is my sister! My name is Gu Daniu, and I'm her biological brother!"
Brother Gu vaguely realized that his sister's life didn't seem to be as difficult as they imagined.
She works in the machinery factory, and seems to be doing quite well.
Brother Gu thought so in his mind and told the truth.
"Are you Master Gu's biological brother? Born from the same mother?"
The security guard widened his eyes and looked Brother Gu up and down.
Brother Gu: ...
A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, which was tanned from years of work.
Well, he knew that he was not as pretty as his younger sister.
In fact, it's not just him. The other three brothers of the Gu family also look average.
Only Gu Xiaoni is the best-looking person in the Gu family.
Not only does she have the best looking parts of her parents, she is also said to have inherited her grandmother's good looks.
Grandma Gu is a famous beauty in the whole area.
She was tall and fair-skinned, and she wore a bright red cheongsam at her wedding. She was so stunning and charming.
Unfortunately, Grandma Gu’s children all resembled their ordinary-looking Grandpa Gu in appearance and height.
Well, Grandpa Gu’s genes are very strong. His children look like him, and so do his grandchildren.
Only Gu Xiaoni has lived up to Grandma Gu's good genes.
In the past, Gu Xiaoni was a village beauty.
After eating fine grains in the city for several years, I became more and more picky.
The last time "Gu Xiaoni" went home, almost everyone in the Gu family and the village was stunned.
Everyone in the Gu family was deeply confused: Is such a beautiful girl really the child of our Gu family?
Of course, they were just wondering in their hearts, not really questioning.
Because just looking at Gu Qingcheng, she is indeed incredibly beautiful.
But if Gu Qingcheng was in the same frame with Gu's father and Gu's mother, everyone could still vaguely see some similarities between them.
"Yes! My biological brother! Born to the same father and mother!"
Brother Gu nodded firmly.
"Oh, Master Gu was invited to the 28th Factory to provide technical guidance. He is not in the factory!"
The security guard was in a dilemma.
If it were any other ordinary worker, he would have just said this and that would have been the end of the matter.
If the person is not in the factory, those who come to look for his family members can either wait or go back.
Gu Qingcheng is different!
He is the master chef respected by all the leaders.
Her own brother came from far away, but she couldn't send him away with just a few words.
"Comrade, why don't you wait a moment while I ask someone to go to the workshop and tell them."
The security guard warmly welcomed Brother Gu into the house, and called a worker over, "Xiao Sun, hurry up and go to the workshop. I remember that when Master Gu left, he left an apprentice behind!"
The worker named Xiao Sun, upon hearing "Master Gu", did not refuse and hurried to the workshop.
Brother Gu: ...
He fidgeted and his mouth began to feel dry.
What, what is going on?
Although Brother Gu was very confused, he had a hunch for some reason: his younger sister worked in a machinery factory, which seemed to be quite prestigious.
Soon, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old came running over.
"Hey, brother, are you my master's biological brother?"
When facing Brother Gu, who was obviously dressed as a country boy, the young man lost all his pride as a city boy.
He was warm and considerate, as if the person in front of him was his own elder brother.
Brother Gu nodded quickly, "Hey! Hey! My name is Gu Daniu, and I'm Gu Xiaoni's biological brother."
"I, I was worried about her, so I came to see her, and I also brought her some home-cooked food."
Brother Gu seemed a little at a loss, and his speech was not smooth.
He didn't look like someone who was looking for trouble, and he did have something in his hand. The young man and other employees of the machinery factory could confirm that this man should be Master Gu's brother.
Still a pretty honest one.
He is not a poor relative who came here to ask for money after hearing that Master Gu was valued.
The young man was even smarter. He pretended to be polite but was actually asking questions: "Brother Gu, you didn't know that my master changed his job, did you?"
"ah?"
Brother Gu looked confused.
Not to mention knowing that Gu Xiaoni had changed her job, he didn't even know what Gu Xiaoni did in the factory.
He only knew, "Xiao Ni said that she would learn the technology well when she entered the machinery factory!"
Once I have learned it, I will teach it to him.
The young man's eyes lit up. Oh, this was exactly what his master had said! When his master first joined the factory, he was a loader, but he always used his spare time to learn skills in the workshop.
In just one week, the student has surpassed the teacher!
The young man felt that Brother Gu was more and more trustworthy and should not be the kind of person who used a tiger's skin as a banner.
"By the way, where's Qiao'er? I just heard someone say that she went to another factory. What should we do with Qiao'er?"
Brother Gu didn't care about the young man's reaction. He was still immersed in his own thoughts.
He was concerned about his sister and also about his poor niece who had lost her father.
When they heard Brother Gu mentioned Qiao Qiao, everyone felt that he was more reliable.
"Qiao'er is in the red-raising class! We apprentices will pick her up after school!"
The young man took Brother Gu's things attentively, "When the master left, he left me the key to the house. Let's go home!"
The young man was busy with the arrangements enthusiastically, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: How should I address my master's brother?
Calling him "big brother" definitely won't work because there's too much generation difference.
Calling each other comrades sounds too distant and is not conducive to building closer relationships.
Should I call him "Master Uncle"? But it doesn't sound right.
How about calling him uncle or grandpa? The man in front of him was only about thirty years old, not much older than his eldest brother.
The young man was conflicted, but his attitude was very respectful.
Brother Gu was even more at a loss.
He was just an honest old farmer who went to the city occasionally and was used to being looked down upon.
This was the first time he was treated like this.
I'm flattered.
Brother Gu started to walk with his hands and feet shaky.
The young man seemed not to notice and continued to lead the way enthusiastically.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After leaving the machinery factory, we passed by a three-story Western-style building and then came to a small courtyard with a separate entrance.
Snap!
The young man took the key and unlocked the black lacquered and carved iron door, revealing a spacious yet exquisite courtyard.
There are grape trellises, clusters of flowers, and a cobblestone path.
At the end of the road are three spacious houses with red bricks and black tiles.
Brother Gu just felt that his eyes were not enough.
Especially when he crossed the path and came to the door of the main house, he looked at the fashionable furnishings inside and did not dare to step in.
"Please come in!"
The young man seemed not to notice Brother Gu's confusion and continued to greet him with a smile.
"Is this my little Ni's house?"
It’s not much different from the villas in the movies.
As a countryman, he had never seen such Western-style leather sofas, fireplaces, carved dining tables and chairs, etc.
"It's the house that the master rented. However, the factory is now discussing allocating a house to the master!"
When the young man talked about this, there was envy in his eyes, as well as a sense of pride.
Although he cannot enjoy the high benefits of his master yet, he has surpassed his peers by being able to become his master's disciple.
As long as he cherishes the opportunity and works hard to learn from his master, sooner or later, he will be as good as his master! "Rent a house? That must cost a lot of money, right?" Brother Gu sat on the sofa cautiously, stretching out his hand, wanting to touch but not daring to.
"Ten dollars a month! But the master's salary is higher!"
Ten dollars for rent is definitely not low.
But the master’s benefits are high.
Moreover, in addition to the salary from the machinery factory, when the master is invited by other factories to provide technical guidance, he will also be given a certain "subsidy".
The apprentices didn't know the exact amount.
However, apprentices who are able to go on "business trips" with their master can get three to five yuan each time.
The apprentices had a rough guess in their minds - at least two or three times, and at most five or six times.
You can earn dozens of dollars in extra money just by going out once.
In the past week, the master has been invited twice.
There are still many factories lined up behind.
With the master's skills, he can earn at least a few hundred yuan a month.
Ten dollars in rent is really nothing to the master.
Not to mention, in order to retain their talented master, the factory is discussing allocating her a house.
Maybe, this courtyard will really be owned by the master in the future! Brother Gu: ...
Ten yuan? Their family had so many strong laborers, and they worked hard for a year, but when they divided the money at the end of the year, they only got a little over a hundred yuan.
My little sister spends more than a hundred dollars a year to rent a house!
This, this!
Brother Gu’s three views were definitely impacted.
But soon, a bigger shock came.
In the evening, when it was time for Qiao Qiao to finish school, another young man diligently took her back.
"Uncle!"
Qiao Qiao is young, but she can already remember things.
Moreover, she just followed Gu Qingcheng back to the Gu family last month.
Her memories of her grandparents, elder uncle, second uncle and younger uncle of the Gu family are still fresh.
When he saw Brother Gu, he was stunned for a moment, then recognized him carefully, and then flew over while shouting happily.
"Hey! Qiao'er is so good! Let uncle hug you!"
In fact, Brother Gu is not that fond of Qiao Qiao.
Firstly, Brother Gu is a traditional male chauvinist, and men tend to be more or less patriarchal, and would rather have grandchildren than sons.
Brother Gu will never be too close to his own daughter.
Secondly, Brother Gu and Qiao Qiao didn’t spend much time together.
We just met a month ago.
The feelings between people come from getting along with each other.
Even if they are blood relatives, they cannot become close after meeting each other only a few times.
However, Brother Gu suffered too many "shocks" today, and he was in a dazed state.
After finally seeing an "acquaintance", Brother Gu instinctively wanted to get close to him.
And the most important point is that these people who claimed to be Master Gu’s apprentices treated Qiao Qiao very considerately and meticulously.
The "atmosphere" was rendered just right, and even Brother Gu, the cheap uncle, thought that his niece was a lovely little darling!
Brother Gu: ...
Realizing his own abnormality, Brother Gu couldn't help but shake his head: Don't blame me, just blame this world for being too magical.
