Fu Hongguo went to the steel factory and did nothing else but demonstrate his skill in using an abacus with both hands, which amazed everyone.
In addition, Fu Hongxing already had a good relationship with the steel factory director, so he immediately hired the person.
Even if others are dissatisfied, they can only feel resentful in secret.
However, after Fu Hongguo went to prison, he became quite adept at interpersonal relationships.
They not only do their own job, but also help others.
Of course, it's not excessive; it feels just right.
Once, when Xiumei went to see him, she saw that others had dumped their work on Fu Hongguo. Fu Hongguo took it with a smile and finished the work before coming out to see her.
Xiumei was holding her anger in, feeling that others were bullying her second brother.
He mumbled what was on his mind, his face still showing resentment.
Fu Hongguo patted her head and chuckled, saying, "Your second brother is still young. What others ask me to do is what I want to do."
Sometimes, learning more isn't a bad thing.
Fu Xiumei gave the change of clothes and side dishes that her sister-in-law had asked her to deliver to her second brother, then pouted and went back home.
After Fu Hongguo started working, the family's previously declining quality of life improved slightly.
After all, there are many more things you can buy in Siping City than in the towns and villages.
Previously, the supplies that were lacking in the county town could be purchased in Siping City.
However, you have to join those elderly folks, queuing up before dawn and even in the middle of the night to buy it.
Otherwise, if you go too late, you still won't be able to buy anything good.
Fu Hongguo would usually take the saved receipts and money and get up early in the morning to queue up on his days off.
After buying the things, I rode my bicycle back to Xishan Village.
By the time he finished shopping, it was almost 7 a.m. Although it would take him four or five hours to cycle from Siping City to Xishan Village, and he would arrive home around noon, it didn't deter him from his persistence.
After lunch, I still had to chop firewood and fetch water for the family. After dinner, I would hurriedly ride my bicycle back to the city.
Ning Jing had told him this several times. On his rare day off, he should have stayed in the dormitory and slept in.
However, Fu Hongguo would always change the subject by pretending to hold the twins.
Ning Jing felt sorry for him and talked to Fu Hongxing. Fu Hongxing then talked to Fu Hongguo. After their conversation, Fu Hongxing turned around and advised Ning Jing to respect Hongguo's choice.
Although the two brothers are quite far apart in age, they look remarkably alike when they stand together.
In particular, Fu Hongguo has become increasingly composed, and sometimes when he doesn't smile and frowns, he looks exactly like Fu Hongxing.
In 1966, Xiuchun secretly applied for a job as a female worker in a textile factory in the county town without telling her family.
She only told her older brother and sister-in-law after she was accepted.
She couldn't compare to her second brother and sister; they had both graduated from high school, while she only had a junior high school education.
He got a job in the textile factory because he was clever.
Ning Jing looked at Xiu Chun, who was only 15 years old, and felt a pang of heartache.
But it was her choice, and as her sister-in-law, she couldn't object.
In the eyes of others, the Fu family has now achieved great success.
Ning Jing, the eldest sister-in-law, has finally made it through the tough times.
After all, both the younger brother-in-law and sister-in-law are now earning money and have become factory workers.
This is the kind of job that rural people who toil in the fields dream of day and night.
In addition to bringing back things he bought on his days off, Fu Hongguo would also bring back his monthly salary and hand it to Ning Jing.
Fu Xiuchun was no exception, since she worked in a textile factory in the county town, making it much easier for her to come back than for Fu Hongguo.
