Chapter 227: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Thirty-nine)
"What? What did you say? I, I can be a driver? I can eat commercial grain?"
Second Brother Gu widened his eyes and looked at his wife in disbelief, whom he hadn't seen for several months.
"No! To be precise, you are only qualified to participate in the driver training at the factory. You are just learning the skills, but you are not a formal employee yet."
Gu Ersao stayed in the city for four or five months. She watched Gu Qingcheng teach her apprentices every day and also learned some "professional" words.
I also know that I should be careful when speaking and not talk nonsense.
Brother Gu didn't know this. He only heard Sister Gu say "no" and the excitement on his face faded away. "Ah? No!"
Mrs. Gu: ...You fool, can't you just listen to what I say?
Also, can you use your brain?
But, no matter how stupid he is, he is still her man and the father of her child.
Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes and had to make her words clearer, "Go and take the training, and you will learn how to drive."
"Once you have the driving skills, you can apply for the exam when the factory recruits workers again!"
"Even if the factory doesn't need drivers for the time being, we can still go back to the production team."
"Think about Xiao Shitou from the Hongyang Brigade next door. He learned to drive from the nearby garrison. When the brigade bought a tractor, he became a tractor driver!"
Driving a tractor every day, rumbling and revving, how cool is that?
The light that had just disappeared from Brother Gu's face returned to his face again, "Yes! Yes!"
Oh, my wife is really amazing and has a sharp mind.
Even this was thought of.
If you can drive, you are awesome.
Their production team didn't have a tractor yet. Some time ago, the team leader said that they had to go to the Hongyang Brigade to borrow a tractor every time.
Not to mention the money and favors, the driver also needs good food and drinks when he comes.
It’s a pity that there is no one in their Red Star Brigade who can drive. If there was, they would find a way to raise money to buy a tractor.
Now, his wife told him that his good sister got him an opportunity to learn how to drive!
Oh my!
As long as he has learned it, he can return to the production team even if he doesn't go to the factory.
By then, he could drive his shiny new tractor, rumbling along, and get full work points without having to go to the fields or do any work.
People from the village and outside the village, young and old, young girls and wives, will definitely look at him with envy and admiration.
He could also go to other production teams to help out, and people would pass him cigarettes and tea, and politely call him "Master Gu"! Master Gu? "Hehe! Hehehe!"
Thinking of the bright prospects, Brother Gu couldn't help but grin foolishly.
Mrs. Gu: ...It's really disgusting.
Pah! Mrs. Gu rudely slapped the arm of Brother Gu.
The pain instantly stopped Brother Gu’s silly smile.
"Humph, you just know how to smile foolishly! Don't you think about who deserves the credit for your becoming a driver?"
"Of course my little girl is awesome!"
Wow, even the leaders of the digital factory believe her. Their little girl is really promising.
Mrs. Gu: ...
It is true, but, but you don't think about it, there are three of you brothers, why did Xiao Ni only let you learn to drive? Second Sister Gu's eyes were a little fierce.
Second Brother Gu shuddered subconsciously.
He was always simple and honest, but when he saw his wife's unfriendly eyes, his mind immediately became bright, "And you! Thanks to you for serving Xiaoni, Xiaoni remembered your favor, so -"
Only then did Mrs. Gu look satisfied and withdrew her stabbing gaze.
"That's right! Don't you think about it? They are all her brothers. The eldest brother is just a temporary worker in our town's processing plant."
"As for the fourth child, he just studied medicine with Doctor Wei and couldn't even get a temporary job."
"You are the only one who can get a stable job as long as you learn to drive."
"Think carefully, why is this?"
Second Brother Gu was about to say "because of you".
Mrs. Gu was too lazy to listen to her husband's stupidity and gave a direct answer.
She pointed at herself and said, "That's because I worked hard to take care of Xiao Ni in the city for three or four months."
"Washing clothes, cooking, sewing, and in this cold weather, washing urine and rings in basins."
"Look at me, my hands—"
Mrs. Gu spoke in a sensational tone, stretching out her hands out of habit.
Uh, so embarrassing! Her hands were not red or swollen, nor did they have frostbite. Although not as slender and tender as Gu Qingcheng's, they were much more delicate than those of an ordinary peasant woman.
It's obvious that he has never done heavy work.
Even the calluses left over from work have become soft, thin, or even disappeared.
Brother Gu lowered his head and saw his wife's clean white hands. "Huh? Huzi's mother, your hands have become more delicate."
"By the way, your face has become much paler too!"
Second Brother Gu was so excited that he didn't notice the changes in his wife.
Seeing her hand now, Brother Gu's gaze couldn't help but move upwards.
Then, he discovered that after not seeing his wife for a few months, her skin had become whiter and smoother.
His face has some flesh on it, and it's red and chubby, and you can tell at first glance that he has plenty to eat and drink.
And the bright red cotton-padded jacket she was wearing was brand new, with thick cotton filling, so it must have been newly made.
When his wife went to the city, she brought a small bag with two cents for the train ticket.
The rest were some eggs, dried vegetables and other things prepared for Xiaoni.
But this time when he came back, his wife brought a lot of things, big and small.
Apart from the things Xiao Ni gave to the two elders as a gift, and the clothes and candies she bought for her nephews and nieces, the rest were all Mrs. Gu's own things.
Tsk, there are several pieces of clothes alone, as well as some vanishing cream and shampoo.
Some bottles and jars even have foreign words printed on them.
Brother Gu looked at his wife who seemed to have changed, and then thought about the good things she brought back.
His conscience prevented him from saying "you have suffered".
Haha, if this was considered suffering, the women in the production team would definitely be fighting to get there.
Mrs. Gu: ...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
A little guilty.
During the past few months in the city, she did help her sister-in-law with work and look after the house.
But, she really enjoyed her life.
Three meals a day, all of them are fine grains and contain oil.
Malted milk, peach cakes, etc. are also available every day.
Every now and then, he would go out to eat with his sister-in-law.
Oh my, Chef Meng from Xijiekou Restaurant, his braised pork is really amazing.
The pork belly was fatty but not greasy, lean but not dry, bright red and trembling. One bite left a lingering fragrance in her mouth. She never got tired of eating it every day!
Compared to life at home, life at my sister-in-law's house is so good that it seems like a daydream.
On days like this, she couldn't say with a clear conscience that she was suffering.
However, she still wanted to take credit in front of her husband.
"Xiao Ni's family has good living conditions, and I really benefited from it!"
“But I did the work.”
"Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about taking care of the baby during the confinement period. In the cold winter, I washed the baby's urine in basins one by one!"
Mrs. Gu didn't lie.
Ever since she knew that her sister-in-law had secured a driver training spot for her husband, she rolled up her sleeves without saying a word and started washing her urine ring.
At most, my sister-in-law's family has no shortage of coal, so they use hot water to wash the urine ring.
In addition, after washing, Mrs. Gu can also apply the vanishing cream bought for her by her sister-in-law.
A thick layer of it makes my hands very moisturized, not dry at all, and without cracking or peeling! ... However, work is work, and no one can deny it.
Otherwise, do you think Gu Xiaoni is stupid, wanting to gain benefits from others without paying anything?
Why did the boss only get a temporary job? He hasn't taught the skills he promised to teach yet? Isn't it because the boss only sent some food but didn't really help the sister-in-law! Humph, Gu Er, this fool, only saw that her complexion improved and made new clothes, but didn't see that she worked hard at the sister-in-law's house!
And the fourth child has just learned the skills, and Xiao Ni didn’t get him the training spot in the hospital that she promised.
After staying in the city for a few months, especially when Gu Qingcheng gave birth to her child, Second Sister Gu saw with her own eyes so many leaders from other units coming to congratulate her.
Second Sister Gu knew that her sister-in-law was far more powerful than everyone imagined! As long as she wanted, she could easily solve the work of the eldest and fourth sons.
But my sister-in-law didn’t do it!
Why?
Second Brother Gu is not really stupid.
After listening to his wife's words, he thought about it and nodded slowly, "Wife, thanks to you!"
"This guy is sincere in return of sincerity!"
"Even brothers and sisters from the same mother have their own closeness or distance!"
My wife took the initiative to take care of Xiaoni during the confinement period and took good care of her for several months.
Xiao Ni was naturally grateful.
Perhaps, at Xiaoni's level, she doesn't need any help from her family at all.
However, people are still willing to give the bride's family a chance because of blood ties.
Xiao Ni is kind, but her brothers and sisters-in-law cannot be ignorant of the situation.
Well, it doesn’t matter even if I don’t know the answer.
Why don’t people just stop associating with you?
There are three brothers in the Gu family.
As long as she chooses a brother to help, no one can say that she is "heartless and doesn't know how to help her brothers from her mother's family"! Maybe outsiders will say that Xiao Ni is kind, but if she is still unwilling to help a brother, it must be that the brother went too far and hurt Xiao Ni's heart.
If Xiao Ni had done something more extreme, she would not have promoted her own brothers, but would have taken care of her cousins, or even her brothers within five generations of mourning.
Other people's reputations are still very good, but the three brothers of the Gu family suffered a great loss and ruined their reputations.
"Humph! Not that stupid at least!"
"I came back this time just to tell you this."
"When you go to learn the skills, learn them well and don't embarrass Xiao Ni. Don't take on tasks recklessly and cause trouble for Xiao Ni."
"As for me, I will go back and take care of Xiaoni. No matter what, I have to get your job done first!"
She can't be like the eldest and fourth sons, who only know how to pretend but have nothing substantial.
Now the brothers are stuck in a rut, with no future, and can only wait foolishly! Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu Si: ...
