"Hey!" Yu Bao ran excitedly towards his new home.
These few days, watching the house being built bit by bit, he looked at it three or five times a day, like a little animal patrolling its territory.
Lin Shichang saw his eldest nephew from a distance and shouted, "Big boy, run slower, be careful not to fall."
"Uncle, I'm not called the eldest son anymore. My grandfather gave us big names. I'm Gu Zhiyu, the second son is Gu Zhiheng, the third son is Gu Zhiqian, and the fourth son is Gu Zhiyao." Yu Bao's cheerful voice sounded.
"Uncle, my mother calls me Yubao, so you should call me Yubao too."
Lin Shichang was stunned for a moment, "Okay."
It was not until the Gu family asked their younger sister that they found out the characters in the names of the children.
He smiled and said, “That’s a good name.”
Lin Zhao was a little proud, "I just thought that Yubao's grandfather would be good at naming, so I entrusted this troublesome matter to him."
His biological father is also good at naming, but after all, the kids’ surname is Gu, so he always has to let them do some work.
Lin Shichang shook his head helplessly.
"What's the matter with you calling me here?"
Lin Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression slightly serious, "Brother, among those who were sent back to our brigade for education, there is a young man named Meng Jiusi, who has a small leaf birthmark behind his ear."
Yes, Gu Chenghuai checked it early in the morning, and the small leaf behind Meng Jiusi’s ear was indeed a birthmark.
Lin Shichang's hand holding the enamel pot trembled violently, and he didn't want to drink water anymore. He put down the enamel pot and looked at his sister, "Do you suspect he is the fourth child?"
"I think it's possible, otherwise it would be too coincidental." Lin Zhao did not deny her speculation.
Lin Shichang said, "Don't worry about this. I'll go ask him."
The identities of those people at the foot of the mountain are sensitive, and as a brother, there is no way he would let his sister take any risks.
He and Lin Zhao had the same plan - to play it straight and ask the man directly. If he didn't know his own background, he would have to ask someone to check it out.
"good."
…
Today, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative announced the result of its handling of Liu Chunhong.
The Zhang family, Liu Chunhong's husband's family, was required to return the embezzled money and Liu Chunhong was expelled. The nature of her mistake was extremely serious and her file was kept. She also received labor education and was sent to a farm for ten years of labor reform.
Liu Chunhong also found it funny. She didn't dare to spend the embezzled money at all. She kept it all in an iron box. As soon as the investigation team arrived, the Zhang family members consciously handed it over. They were surprisingly obedient.
The leader sneered, "If we had known this would happen, why did we do it in the first place?"
It's all in vain.
In the tube-shaped building, the neighbors were all watching the fun. The Zhang family members were blushing and wished they could dig a hole and crawl into it.
After paying the money, the Zhang family hurriedly closed the door.
The eldest son of the Zhang family thought that people in the factory had been looking at him with strange eyes in the past two days, and many people were gossiping about him behind his back, and he couldn't help but feel resentful towards Liu Chunhong.
"My family is not so poor that we can't afford food. Why would my mother take the money? Now the whole factory knows about our family's affairs. It's spreading everywhere. I can't even hold my head up in the factory. I don't know how I'm going to get along with my colleagues in the future..."
The head of the Zhang family smoked the filter tip and said nothing.
He knows everything his wife does.
They thought about giving up halfway, but the kickback money was really a lot, and it had not been discovered over the years. If they didn't continue, it would be like losing the money they had picked up for free, and they couldn't bear to do that.
Who knows...
There was a sinister flash in his eyes, and he hated Lin Zhao.
The eldest son of the Zhang family saw his father's mood and was worried that he would offend someone he shouldn't offend, so he hurriedly said, "Dad, that woman named Lin Zhao, her husband is an officer. That officer is capable and has a wide network of contacts. I heard that many of the county's top leaders are his comrades-in-arms. Don't be impulsive and ruin our Zhang family."
The head of the Zhang family slapped the table and said angrily, "So we have to swallow this anger? Your mother was sent to the farm. Ten years, ten years. I don't know if I will see her again in this life!"
When they heard him talk about Liu Chunhong, the Zhang family fell silent.
After a long while, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family could not help but say, "It's all my sister-in-law's fault. If she hadn't been making a fuss and not wanting to go to the countryside, my mother wouldn't have gotten mad at the new salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative. If she hadn't had bad intentions and reported him, she wouldn't have gotten into trouble, and our family wouldn't have become a laughing stock!"
The woman was filled with hatred when she thought about how her sister-in-law was trying to take advantage of her job in order to avoid going to the countryside, and how she was constantly trying to sow discord between her and men.
Most people will not look for the reasons in themselves. The Zhang family’s morals are not high, and they are more likely to pass the buck when something goes wrong.
The head of the Zhang family also blamed their troublesome daughter, "Xiaoxiao is really outrageous."
Looking at the eldest son, he said calmly, "Your mother was sent to the farm and lost her good job. The subsidy for your sister... should be stopped."
The eldest son of the Zhang family had long wanted to stop giving it. His salary was not high, and spending five yuan a month was really painful.
But he also didn't want Laozi to think he was ruthless.
"Isn't it bad?" Zhang's eldest son hesitated, "It's not easy for my sister to be in the countryside."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family glared at the man fiercely, her face full of displeasure.
Different from her reaction, the Zhang family's head's eyes softened.
It’s simple. The son has a conscience and will provide for him when he is old.
"Five dollars is too much. You still have to make a living. Send two dollars to your sister every month."
The eldest son of the Zhang family agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Dad."
Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law: "..."
Just then, the door was pushed open and a distraught young man walked in.
Seeing several people in the living room, he seemed to come to his senses and rushed over.
"Dad, I lost my temporary job!" Zhang's youngest son collapsed and despaired.
He finally got a job as a temporary worker in an electric motor factory, but was fired because of what Liu Chunhong did, on the grounds that it had a bad influence.
"What?" The head of the Zhang family stood up suddenly.
The eldest couple were also shocked.
They don't want their younger brothers to be unemployed, because being unemployed means eating for free.
"How could it be?" Zhang's eldest brother said in disbelief.
The youngest son of the Zhang family sat down on the sofa, his eyes red with excitement.
"It's all because of mom. The news of her taking kickbacks spread to the factory. I'm just a temporary worker, how can I continue to work here?"
He felt very uncomfortable and his whole spirit was gone. "I worked so hard and did all the hard work, just wanting to get a permanent job soon. Now I have nothing, nothing!!"
Liu Chunhong treated her youngest son the best, and he knew it all. He could not blame his mother, so he could only put all the blame on his younger sister.
"It's all Zhang Xiaoxiao's fault. If she hadn't made a fuss for mom to find her a job, mom wouldn't have hit a wall and even lost her own job. I hate Zhang Xiaoxiao so much. I don't have a younger sister. In this family, either she or I, or I or she." He said harshly.
In the eyes of the head of the Zhang family, the disabled daughter was naturally inferior to the youngest son. He was also very angry and said coldly: "Big brother, starting from next month, you don't have to send money to your sister. You can write to her and say that the family can't help her and let her take care of herself."
Mrs. Zhang was delighted, but she suppressed her smile and said, "I'll write it."
She was so happy that she didn't have to send any money!
The youngest son of the Zhang family didn’t care much about this. What he cared about was what he would do in the future.
"Dad, my job..." He looked at his biological father with dependent eyes.
How could a father bear this look? "I'll find a way."
"Thank you, Dad."
Zhang's eldest sister-in-law curled her lips.
The youngest son is treated differently. As long as he acts a little bit spoiled, his parents-in-law will give him everything.
…
The news about the Zhang family spread quickly. Li Fen heard about it from her neighbors and told Lin Zhao and others as soon as she arrived.
She said with a sigh.
"Why did Liu Chunhong do that? She didn't dare spend a penny of the embezzled money. She lived in fear every day. In the end, she lost her job and had to receive education. I heard that she was sentenced to ten years! Ten years. I don't know what will happen to her family when she returns."
Lin Zhao didn't feel sorry for Liu Chunhong at all.
"She took what she shouldn't have, and she deserves this." She said, "She has a job as a salesperson with a stable monthly income, so why would she covet the little that the country folk have? There are few sources of income in the countryside, and every penny has to be spent carefully."
When Liu Chunhong goes to work on the farm, she will know how hard life is for the country people.
Wang Ju has never experienced the hardship of farming. She simply thinks that bullying poor people to fill one's own pockets is abominable.
"What Zhao Zhao said is right. That person doesn't deserve sympathy. The Zhang family has many workers and they live a very easy life. She did that out of pure greed."
Li Fen agreed. "I don't know how the positions at the supply and marketing cooperative will be arranged. It's been several days and there's still no explanation."
There were many people eyeing the work at the supply and marketing cooperative, and Lin Zhao was one of them, but she didn't think she could get the position.
"Who knows?"
Wang Ju glanced at her and suddenly asked, "Zhao Zhao, do you have any ideas?"
Lin Zhao was surprised.
Is she being very obvious?
It doesn't matter, and it's the truth, there's nothing to hide.
Lin Zhao was very calm, "Of course, this is a stable job, how could I not miss it."
Wang Ju said, "If you want a job, I just heard someone wants to sell it."
Don't worry about the supply and marketing cooperative job. She knows that several companies are eyeing it. With the strength of those companies, it will be easy to get it.
"!"
Lin Zhao was delighted, "Where?"
"We need money and food." Wang Ju was afraid of affecting her relationship with her, so she said it up front.
"Money and food are nothing." Lin Zhao didn't care.
Then, he asked anxiously, "Aju, can you please tell me where you work?"
Wang Ju said: "Someone in the motor factory wanted to sell his job."
Motor factory?
Isn’t this the factory where Yun Cheng works?
Lin Zhao excitedly took Wang Ju's arm, smiling brightly and charmingly, her words filled with deep joy, "Really? What kind of job is it?"
"It's a warehouse manager. You don't need a high level of education, you just need to be able to read." Wang Ju is shy but careful. She thought Lin Zhao must be finding a job for someone in the countryside. In the countryside, a junior high school diploma is considered a high level of education, and many people have not even finished elementary school, so she specifically said that a high level of education is not needed.
If the job to be sold was... a broadcaster or a propagandist, then she would definitely not tell Lin Zhao about this, so as to avoid making people happy for nothing and then disappointed in the end.
"I want it!" Lin Zhao happily hugged Wang Ju, wanting to kiss her, "No matter how much money or food it costs, I want it!"
Wang Ju felt shy when being hugged, but she didn't feel disgusted. Instead, she was very happy.
Social phobia does not mean that you don’t like to be close to people.
"Okay, I'll introduce you to him after get off work," she said.
Lin Zhao also meant this. "Okay, there's no time to lose. It would be more reassuring if we settle it sooner rather than later."
but……
"Why does that person want to sell his job?" She asked, worried that there might be a problem.
Wang Ju didn't think much about it and said, "Because her husband's job has changed, she wants to follow him."
"Oh, I see. Thank you." Lin Zhao thanked him sincerely.
Wang Ju saw how serious she was and felt a little embarrassed. "It's okay. I just happened to know about it. If I hadn't noticed that you had some ideas about the work of the supply and marketing cooperative, I wouldn't have thought of telling you."
After all, Zhao Zhao has her own job.
"Who would complain about having too much work?" Lin Zhao said with a smile.
She took Wang Ju's arm and shook it gently a few times, smiling: "Aju, if you need a job again, you still have to tell me. In my family, only me and Mr. Gu have jobs. No one else has. We are in dire need of jobs."
Wang Ju took note of it and said, "Okay."
Li Fen also said, "My family is in need of one too. Xiaosong has a girlfriend now. When he gets married, I have to find a job for my brother and sister-in-law."
"We women still have to have jobs." As a woman, she understands the difficulties of being a woman best. She has never thought of letting her younger brother and sister-in-law do the laundry and cooking at home and become a shrew who asks for money.
Li Fen is not afraid that her future sister-in-law will become more ambitious after she gets a job. She believes in her own judgment and will reward sincerity with sincerity.
"I'll ask my mother to keep an eye out for you and tell you if anything happens." Wang Ju said good-naturedly.
She has a really gentle personality, rarely speaks loudly, and is a kind person. She is a very good girl.
Li Fen laughed and said, "I was just kidding. You ask for Zhao Zhao. My family is not in a hurry."
Xiaosong has connections, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to find a job. Why bother others?
Wang Ju smiled but said nothing.
…
The money that the Zhang family returned to the supply and marketing cooperative was required to be taken from the people and used for the people. Fortunately, Accountant Liu handed over the real account book to make amends.
Lin Zhao and others returned the money to the people who had suffered losses based on the new account books.
The villagers who have insisted on coming to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell eggs for so many years now have dozens of extra yuan in their hands for no reason, and their worried faces are filled with smiles.
The news spread quickly, and those who had suffered losses came to collect their money. Holding the pie in their hands, they happily bought a pound of fruit candy, thinking of making their children at home happy as well.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Gu Chenghuai came to pick up his wife from get off work. He was a little surprised to see Lin Zhao smiling with her eyes curved, showing that she was in a good mood.
Before he could ask, Lin Zhaoxian said, "I'm not going back yet. I need to go to the motor factory first."
Hearing his wife's words, Gu Chenghuai was even more confused, "Why go to the motor factory?"
Lin Zhao kept it a secret, fearing that something might happen. She said mysteriously, "I won't tell you now. Wait until I finish my work."
"Okay." Gu Chenghuai's tone was helpless and doting.
Lin Zhao followed Wang Ju to the motor factory and did not come out for more than half an hour.
A faint smile appeared on her face, and she ran towards Captain Gu with brisk steps.
Gu Chenghuai wiped the sweat off his wife's forehead and nose, and said in a gentle voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm waiting for you."
Lin Zhao looked up at him, the curve of her mouth unable to be suppressed, "I did something big, do you want to guess what it is?"
