"sister……"
"Big sister..."
"Waaah..."
Several people spoke at the same time.
Su Yu curved her lips into a smile, sobbed twice, and then quietly closed her eyes to sleep.
I'm so sleepy! Telling stories in the middle of the night is exhausting!
The next morning, without Su Yu's prompting, Su Lin had already gotten up and prepared breakfast. However, she still didn't speak to anyone, clearly still feeling uneasy.
The way Su Dazhi and Su Zhi looked at Su Yu was different now, filled with a sense of attachment and guilt.
Last night, they kept dreaming about how good their eldest sister had been to them. They dreamed that when they were in trouble, their eldest sister would run out to protect them.
Su Zhi said, "Sister, I dreamt about you last night. I was fighting with someone, and you ran out to help me, but you got beaten up too. It scared me to death."
Su Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "You silly child, you still know that your sister is good to you."
What you think about during the day, you dream about at night; listening to stories before bed and having dreams at night is perfectly normal. It seems I should save my mental preparation for bedtime.
Su Dazhi also said hesitantly, "Sister, I dreamed about you too."
Su Zhi immediately rolled his eyes at him. "Hmph, why are you copying me? You're just being a know-it-all."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I know you're all sensible. I'm happy about that. You all remember that no matter how well outsiders treat us, I'm always good to you."
Both brothers nodded repeatedly.
As Su Lin stirred the porridge in the pot, she watched her older brother and sister chatting beside her, acting as if she didn't exist. She felt both wronged and disappointed.
I should have known better than to get angry; it's pointless to get angry anyway!
After finishing their meal, Su Yu and Su Dazhi took Su Zhi to the factory.
Along the way, Su Yu sighed and said, "There are no positions in the factory. Yesterday, Director Xu from the workshop passed away. There is only one temporary worker in the loading and unloading team who can do it, but my son Zhi is definitely not up to the task."
She patted her chest and said, "That's what I promised Director Xu back then, my son Jiazhi definitely can do it! My son Jiazhi isn't like he used to be, he's a man now, how could he not do it? What other men can do, my son Jiazhi can do too!"
Su Zhi immediately nodded, "That's right, sis, I can definitely do it."
Su Yu smiled with satisfaction, "Of course! If you want me, a real man can do it. If you can't, then you're not a real man! Zhi, you better stand up for yourself, you know?"
Su Zhi assured her, "Sister, I'll definitely succeed."
Su Yu patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay if you really can't do it. If you can't do it, go back to school."
"...I can definitely do it! I'm a man!"
Seeing Su Zhi like this, Su Dazhi felt a little guilty. According to his sister, he wasn't a real man; he did the easiest work...
Since the factory had already been informed, and since he was only a temporary worker, Director Xu also spoke with the loading and unloading team to let Su Zhi give it a try.
Seeing that Su Zhi had grown tall, and then looking at Su Yu's physique, Director Xu led Su Zhi to work while saying, "Your sister has had a tough time. She's sick, and she wouldn't even let me rest; she insisted on working."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhi felt a pang of jealousy; his sister was doing all this to earn money and help him.
When he arrived at Linfang, after speaking with the loading and unloading crew, Director Xu encouraged him, "Work hard and learn from your sister."
"I'll definitely do my job well, don't worry, Director!"
Su Zhi said with a confident look.
Su Yu also started working. Director Xu took good care of her and arranged for her to sort cotton thread. Although this work was troublesome, she could sit down and it wasn't as tiring as spinning.
Those who do this work are either some of the older employees in the factory, or they have some connections with the factory.
Su Yu quickly became one of the group members after arriving.
I also went to see Yan Fang halfway through to borrow some books. Borrowing books was secondary, of course; the main thing was to let the comrades in the union know that she was making progress and to let them know who she was.
"The province has opened night schools, right? I'm planning to go and learn something. It's Chairman Mao's time; we must always keep improving. My current knowledge is insufficient, and I can't spin much cloth with my own two hands. I want to learn more skills so I can better serve the people."
Yan Fang quickly replied, "I still have some books over there, I'll bring them to you later."
Looking around to make sure no one was there, she said to Su Yu in a low voice, "It's good for you to learn more. If the factory ever hires someone for the office, it will definitely be easier for you to take the internal exam."
Su Yu looked pleasantly surprised, "Really? The people in the office are all doing important things! It takes real skill for such a small group of you to manage so many people."
"Really! You'll definitely succeed," Yan Fang encouraged.
As a young woman who has always had a smooth and easy life, I can't help but feel some sympathy and responsibility towards Su Yu, who has a difficult past, a difficult life, and still maintains a positive attitude.
Su Yu gratefully grasped Yan Fang's hand, "Officer Yan, thank you so much! You are a ray of light in my life, guiding me on the path ahead. I have so many ideas now thanks to your guidance. I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations!"
Yan Fang was immediately overwhelmed with a sense of satisfaction.
That's wonderful; she helped a good comrade through her own efforts.
At noon, Su Yu carried her books and went to find Su Zhi to go home together.
Upon arriving at the loading and unloading team and seeing Su Zhi's disheveled appearance, Su Yu's face twitched slightly.
It was perfectly clean when it came out, how did it get like this in just half a day?
"Sister—" Su Zhi couldn't help but tear up when he saw Su Yu arrive.
It's so bitter, it's really so bitter.
Su Yu looked at him with heartache. Calling him "sister" wouldn't help. He had chosen his own path, and he had to keep going, even if he cried.
