Chapter 237: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Forty-nine)
"Brother, is this the place?"
"It seems so. I asked Aunt Niu from the yard next door."
"Brother, this place is really nice. It looks spacious and stylish."
"Yes, yes. Can we live here from now on? I don't want to live in the slum anymore."
"Brother, I don't want to either. They all like to take advantage of our family. And half of the house has also been occupied by others."
"I've seen Qiao Qiao in the Red Education Class. She was wearing a very pretty red coat with little ducks embroidered on it."
"Yes! Yes! There are also small leather shoes. I heard they were bought from Shanghai. A pair costs several dollars."
"I want to live in a big house, wear new clothes, and have small leather shoes!"
The four children were chattering and making a lot of noise, making the place very lively.
"Stop arguing! If you want to live well and eat well, you have to listen to me!"
The oldest child looked to be twelve or thirteen years old.
There were complicated emotions in his eyes, but he still did not forget to instruct his younger brothers and sisters.
"good!"
"Brother, I'll obey you!"
"...I'm obedient too, but, brother, if we let Master Gu be our stepmother, can we really live in a big yard and eat cream cakes?"
The boss of the Xiao family nodded, "So, you must be obedient!"
Can't scare people away.
Otherwise, it would not be easy to find a capable stepmother with a high salary.
"Hey, whose child is this? Why are you blocking my door?"
Gu Si's wife came back from visiting a friend outside, holding Qiao Xiangyang in her arms.
When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw four children, big and small, blocking the way.
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Xiao Yongming, and I'm the son of Director Xiao Guodong of the Machinery Factory."
"These are my brothers and sisters. We heard that Master Gu is a very nice person, so we wanted to come and see him!"
The oldest child, Xiao Yongming, answered very politely.
When Gu Si's wife saw his dark and thin appearance and the patched clothes on his body, she felt a little pity for him.
Alas, children without mothers are so pitiful.
Originally, because of old man Qiao, Gu Si's wife was very averse to Xiao Guodong, whom he introduced to her.
But, adult matters have nothing to do with children.
Gu Si's wife has no children of her own, but she has a soft heart.
It is really pitiful to see these four little kids, big and small, all of them malnourished and wearing tattered clothes.
However, despite her sympathy, Gu Si's wife did not forget the rules of her elder sister-in-law -
No irrelevant people can be allowed in without her permission.
The Xiao family, but Gu Qingcheng doesn’t have a blind date yet, so they are considered “irrelevant people”!
"Wait a moment, I'll go in and take a look!"
These children came to find Gu Qingcheng, and Gu Si's wife did not dare to make a decision easily.
"Um!"
Xiao Yongming nodded and took two steps back.
Seeing his action, the other children also stepped back.
The door was opened.
Gu Si's wife nodded secretly, these children are all sensible.
He was not the naughty kid who ran to his stepmother and made trouble when he heard his biological father was looking for a stepmother! Sympathy + a little favorability. After entering the door, when he saw Gu Qingcheng, Gu Si's wife spoke with a little bias.
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows, "What does the Xiao family's child have to do with me?"
"You think I'm a good person, so you came to see me?"
"Haha, among the machinery factories and the large and small manufacturing plants in the city, which one doesn't think I'm good?"
"Which apprentice or even a level 5 or 6 worker doesn't want to learn skills from me?"
Then come and curry favor with her?
If she had to pay attention to everyone, wouldn't she be exhausted to death?
Gu Si’s wife: …
For some reason, she felt that the sister-in-law in front of her was so strange.
My eldest sister-in-law has an awe-inspiring aura.
Is this the pride of the top master in the machinery factory?
After Gu Si's wife came to the city, Gu Qingcheng has always been friendly and negotiable.
This even gave Gu Si's wife the illusion that her elder sister-in-law had no temper and was very easy to talk to!
But at this moment, Gu Si's wife no longer had such thoughts.
The elder sister-in-law in front of me still looks familiar, but the feeling she gives people has changed——
Noble, aloof, and difficult to approach!
Standing in front of her, I can't help but feel humble and even want to worship her!
Gu Qingcheng: ...
It seems that I was too obsessed with eating melons and enjoying the unique atmosphere of human life.
But they forget the bad nature of human beings - bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
The villain fears power but not virtue!
Gu Qingcheng sighed. She always thought about keeping a low profile in special times.
But they forget that if they keep a low profile, some people will think they are easy to bully and scheme against!
Why keep a low profile? Gu Xiaoni was born into a poor peasant family and her husband was a martyr.
Gu Qingcheng is a top-level technical expert who has mastered ninth-level skills.
With so many advantages, why should she be low-key? Realizing her mistake, Gu Qingcheng immediately corrected it. Her aura was fully revealed, and she became noble and inviolable.
Gu Si’s wife was the first to be shocked.
She didn't even need Gu Qingcheng to say anything, she immediately realized her problem -
Am I possessed? I actually think Xiao Guodong is good! His conditions are just acceptable among ordinary people! But my sister-in-law is not an ordinary person.
She is so beautiful and so powerful that she is respected and admired wherever she goes.
An old widower with four children actually dares to marry a master chef like Gu Qingcheng!
Even a toad can't use Xiao Guodong's big face!
There were also a few children from the Xiao family who hadn't even arranged a blind date yet, but they came to the door of the Gu family to "see each other".
What? Are they worried that Gu Qingcheng is not qualified to be their stepmother? Pah! As expected of Xiao Guodong's son, the old toad brought up a bunch of little toads.
I actually feel sorry for them, they are sensible!
Bah, bah, bah! I am really bewildered!
Gu Si's wife cursed herself as she walked back to the front door.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"That's enough! Master Gu is busy, he can't even take care of the apprentices, how can he have time to chat with you kids?"
"If you want to become a disciple and learn skills, you must first come to the factory. When you become an apprentice, you can come and ask to see Master Gu."
Perhaps because she was shocked by Gu Qingcheng's aura, Gu Si's wife also became exceptionally smart.
She did not mention any "meeting", but instead treated the Xiao family's children as apprentices trying to curry favor with Gu Qingcheng.
Xiao Yongming was a little dumbfounded.
What was going on? Clearly, this aunt had a look of sympathy and approval just now, but after she entered the door and came out again, her expression changed.
Xiao Yongming also inexplicably felt a sense of arrogance from Gu Si's wife!
As for Xiao Yongming and other children, they couldn't help but feel inferior and retreat in front of Gu Si's wife.
It felt like seeing Director Feng, the confidant of the machinery factory leader.
My own father is also a director, but he can't compare to Director Feng.
Many workers and their families in the factory would try to curry favor with Director Feng and even give him gifts secretly.
But these people will not bow down to Director Xiao Guodong.
Even the workers in Xiao Guodong's workshop and his direct subordinates did not behave humbly in front of the Xiao family.
Everyone: ...
What are you trying to please? Director Xiao is a well-known good man.
Honest, kind and upright.
I wouldn't do anything shameful.
As long as you work hard or are pitiful enough, Director Xiao won't make things difficult for you!
Naturally, the workers would not take such a "good" workshop director seriously.
Xiao Yongming did not enjoy any preferential treatment in the compound or at school.
Although he did not enjoy any preferential treatment, Xiao Yongming knew what it felt like to be treated preferentially.
Gu Si's wife is like a leader's assistant or child. She has no status, but is still popular and has developed a sense of arrogance.
Ordinary people would feel fear in front of such people and would involuntarily give in.
"...Okay! Then we'll leave first!"
Xiao Yongming forced himself to smile, bowed to Gu Si's wife, and then took his younger brother and sister away.
"Brother! We're not going in!"
"Yes! I want to eat cake! I want little leather shoes!"
The second child of the Xiao family is better. He is only three years younger than Xiao Yongming. A child in his teens can understand the highs and lows of people's eyebrows and eyes.
He knew something was wrong, it was completely different from what they had imagined.
Xiao Laoer pursed his lips and followed Xiao Yongming silently.
The two younger children, one was seven or eight years old, and the other was only three years old. They were completely ignorant.
The two children started crying when they couldn't eat good food or wear good clothes.
"Don't cry! I'll think of a solution!"
Xiao Yongming didn't want to give up.
Gu Si's wife's aura did scare him, but his family's situation was really bad.
As soon as my father gets his salary, he sends half of it back to his hometown.
The remaining half will be used to help poor workers and poor neighbors.
In the end, their family of five couldn't even get enough to eat.
When mom was still alive, she had a salary and could secretly hide some money for her four siblings.
Now, mom is gone too!
They would be worse off having no father at all.
You know, they all have city household registration and are given a quota of food every month.
But my father——
Gurgle, gurgle!
Xiao Yongming's stomach began to rebel. At the age of twelve or thirteen, it was the time when the body was growing.
In other families, the young boy eats his father out of poverty, but in their family, the father uses his son’s food rations to help others!
Since dad is unreliable, then find a reliable stepmother.
Clenching his fists, Xiao Yongming made up his mind.
Early the next morning, he was waiting outside the Gu family's door.
He wanted to bypass the imposing aunt and talk to Master Gu, oh no, communicate! Hungry and squatting in the corner, Xiao Yongming's feet were numb from waiting, and then he heard the movement.
The sound didn't come from the yard, but from a jeep driving over from the other side of the road.
The jeep stopped steadily at the gate of the courtyard.
Then, the door of the courtyard opened, and a woman as beautiful as a fairy walked out, surrounded by several young people.
The young people were very attentive. Some of them carried things, some opened car doors, and some bowed and nodded.
Watching this scene from afar, Xiao Yongming inexplicably felt as if he had seen another world, a world that he could hardly touch, let alone integrate into!
