"I can't guess, what it is?" Gu Chenghuai took the cloth bag from her hand and hung it on the front of the car.
Lin Zhao grabbed his white shirt, eyes full of smiles, "I bought a job."
Gu Chenghuai paused, with surprise in his eyes, "Work?"
"Hmm!" Lin Zhao spoke with a slightly heavier tone, looking very proud.
Today, we are really grateful to Comrade Wang Ju. It is also thanks to her that she made a prompt decision to buy it, otherwise this job would have become someone else.
"What job?" Gu Chenghuai asked curiously.
Lin Zhao didn't rush to jump on the back of the bicycle, but walked side by side with him, her lips curled up, her happiness visible to the naked eye. "The warehouse manager of the motor factory doesn't require a high level of education. How about it?"
"Not bad." Gu Chenghuai praised it first, and said casually, "Who are you going to give it to?"
Lin Zhao already had the answer in her mind, but when he asked, she hesitated, "What do you mean?"
Gu Chenghuai laughed softly, "I have no objection to whoever you give the job to."
However, he was very happy that his wife asked him, which showed that she cared about his opinion.
Lin Zhao was embarrassed. "I originally wanted to give it to my eldest sister, but then I thought, I've already given her the job of making matchboxes. If I give her another job, my eldest and second sisters-in-law will definitely be upset, and the family will be unstable!"
Forget about the small job of pasting matchboxes, which only earns a few dollars a month. The two sisters-in-law can still persuade me. But now this is a formal job. I don’t have to go to work in the future. I can directly transfer from farmers to non-farmers. I can also provide for my children with the job. Who wouldn’t be jealous? !
Gu Chenghuai was relieved to see that his wife understood the situation.
He said, "Give it to my uncle."
"I know how you feel about your elder sister, but it's not appropriate to give it to her. It's easy to cause conflicts. Giving it to my elder brother-in-law is different. On my side... no one can say anything."
Even if the eldest and second sisters-in-law have complaints, they can persuade themselves.
Furthermore.
Zhao Zhao got a job for her parents, and her sister-in-law would treat her closer.
Lin Zhao said that it was fine to give it to her brother, "Then give it to my eldest or second brother and let them decide?"
She wanted to give it to her elder sister-in-law in order to change the fate of the Wei family. She thought that if her elder sister-in-law had a job, her brother-in-law would not engage in speculation, would not be arrested and sentenced, and the Wei family would not break up.
But change your mind.
The Wei family has already split up, which is very different from the story in the original book. With Gu Chan watching over it, nothing should happen at home.
To put it bluntly, even if Wei Xiangdong was arrested, he could be rescued with Gu Chenghuai around.
She has such confidence in her son's father.
Gu Chenghuai agreed, "Okay."
Afraid that Zhao Zhao would overthink things, he added, "Brother-in-law knows a lot of people. If he comes across a suitable job, he will help you find it."
"He said that?" The "he" here refers to Wei Xiangdong.
Gu Chenghuai smiled, "I've said before that he doesn't want my eldest sister to work in the fields, but before the Wei family split up, work was like a bomb, and he didn't dare to do it even if he wanted to. Now he can let go and look for one."
Hearing this, Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Well, I'll leave this opportunity for my brother-in-law to show off."
"That's the right way to think." Seeing that his wife had figured it out, Gu Chenghuai's dark eyes flashed with a smile. He exerted force with his feet and the bicycle slid a few meters.
Lin Zhao clutched his shirt and asked, "Has my elder brother asked Meng Jiusi?"
"It wasn't there when I came out." Gu Chenghuai said in a low and pleasant voice, "The team leader assigned production tasks to several people at the foot of the mountain today. They are very busy. Big brother hasn't found an opportunity yet. Maybe when we get home, he has already asked about it."
"Then ride faster. I'm anxious." Lin Zhao urged.
Gu Chenghuai laughed, "Aren't you afraid of the pain in your butt?"
"It's cushioned, so it doesn't hurt." Lin Zhao said nonchalantly, "If Meng Jiusi is really my fourth brother, it's okay if it hurts a little, I don't care."
Hearing her say this, Gu Chenghuai sped up. Although he sped up, he still rode steadily, avoiding any bumps if possible.
At the entrance of the village, some gossipy people were gossiping.
"Have you seen the new courtyard of the third branch of the Gu family? It's been built right now. There are several blue brick houses. It's so beautiful. I also heard that Cheng Huai asked someone to order new windows. He said he would buy some large glass and install them when the time comes. The eldest son's family is becoming more and more different!"
"Don't call me Big Cub anymore. Old Gu gave the kid at home a big name. Now I call him Gu Zhiyu or Yubao! If you keep calling me Big Cub, be careful or Yubao will get mad at you."
The man called Dazai clapped his hands and said, "Yes, Yubao, it's Yubao. Look at me, I forgot again!"
There are always people who like to be jealous. Look, there is one right in front of me. "Does the kid from the Gu family live a more comfortable life than people in the city? He never lacks snacks. The Chenghuai family really knows how to spoil their children. They are not afraid of spoiling them."
Wang Chunhua said, "If my family can earn as much as they do, I will also spoil my kid."
Yubao and Hengbao are good kids. They play with her son Dazhuang and share all the delicious food with him. She can't be an ungrateful person.
"That's right." said Yuanbao's mother, whose children also benefited a lot.
The person who said the sarcastic words curled his lips.
Change the subject.
"I see the two brothers-in-law of the Cheng Huai family have been helping out for a few days in a row. What's wrong with the old Lin family having nothing to do?"
Wang Chunhua knew, "Whose family doesn't have important things to do? The old Lin family is also busy. Look... to the two Lin brothers, their sister's affairs are the most important thing in the world. Only when they build a house for their sister and see Yu Bao's mother and her children move in, can the Lin family feel at ease."
The man was unhappy because he didn't have a good mother's family. He said, "I heard that the Lin brothers are all educated, and they have learned a lot. Why are they like my useless boy, digging for food in the fields?"
Wang Chunhua still remembered the time when Lin Zhao gave her grandson some insecticide, and she protected her most of the time. "Look at what you said, it's not that easy to get a job in the county. People in the city can't get enough, so how can we country people get a job? Even if the Lin brothers don't have a job, they are more literate than us!"
"What's the point of knowing more words!" The man said with a smug look, as if he had won the game. "As if knowing a few more words will give them ten more work points every day."
Wang Chunhua and others could not refute.
Why don’t you carry it?
Everyone agreed that what this person said was too rude.
Not wanting to bother with her anymore, the chat group dispersed.
So, when Lin Zhao and Captain Gu returned to the village, it was rare that they did not see people chatting around.
Lin Zhao didn't care. She was thinking about asking her eldest brother Meng Jiusi. She pinched Gu Chenghuai's strong waist and said, "Let's go to the new room. I'll go find my eldest brother."
"Okay." Gu Chenghuai rode his bike to the new house.
Country people are able to endure hardships. Even though the sun is high in the sky, the people building houses are still busy working.
The people present greeted the host couple and continued with their work.
They are all people with conscience. Gu's family mung bean soup is served. Where can you find such generous people? We must work hard.
When I helped other people in the village build houses, the water they provided was just boiled water, which was a little sweet at most.
What about the Gu family?
The gift was mung bean soup with lily, which was not only icy but also sweet.
Take a bite, don’t be too cool.
When their children come over, Cheng Huai is not stingy and will share some with the children to make them happy.
I don't have the slightest bit of arrogance or the energy to look down on others.
Not like that Lu Yizhou...
Forget it, I won’t say anymore!
Lin Zhao looked at the new house. The yard had been initially built and workers were laying tiles on the roof. At first glance, it looked quite grand.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. You're almost feeling better!"
Gu Chenghuai smiled and said, "Half of the credit goes to the mung bean soup."
Houses are built very quickly in the village. Whenever someone is building a house, those who are not busy will come and lend a hand.
Looking at the mung bean soup provided by the Gu family, everyone wanted to return the favor, and they did so even faster.
Hearing this, Lin Zhao waved her hand and said, "We will provide sour plum soup tomorrow."
When people who were nearby heard this, their mouths almost stretched to the back of their heads. "I heard it. There will be sour plum soup tomorrow. I have to tell my son and let him have a taste of it too."
Lin Zhao was very generous to the children and said, "Come here, take your bowls. We can still afford a bowl of sour plum soup for each of you."
The man smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Mrs. Yu Bao is very generous."
Others thanked her as well.
"Don't worry, Niang Yubao, we promise to build this house for you properly!"
"Yes, yes, your house will be completed in a week at most. After it is dried for a few days, you can move in!"
…
Lin Zhao listened to everyone patiently and thanked them with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. When my house is finished, Cheng Huai and I will treat everyone to meat."
Eat meat? ! ! !
Everyone in the Harvest Brigade knew that the couple from the third branch of the Gu family were people who kept their promises, and they immediately looked forward to it.
"good!"
"Mrs. Yu Bao is so generous!!"
"I haven't tasted meat in three months. I'm dying of cravings!!"
"What's that? My family hasn't tasted it for more than four months."
There was a lot of meat stored in the storage ring, and Lin Zhao would not be reluctant to give it up. These people had worked hard for more than half a month, and they did not ask for money or food. They relied purely on the friendship of their neighbors, so it would not be a waste at all if she invited them to eat meat.
Lin Shichang shook his head helplessly. He knew that his sister was looking for him, so he came down from the roof and walked towards Lin Zhao.
The brother and sister found a quiet place.
"Brother, is that Fourth Brother?"
Lin Shichang talked with Meng Jiusi and initially confirmed that it was the fourth brother, "It should be."
Thinking of what the person who was suspected to be his fourth brother said, he felt a little uncomfortable, "Meng Jiusi is indeed not the Meng family's biological child, he was adopted."
Meng Jiusi was adopted by the Meng family when he reached the age of a governor.
Before this, he had moved around in several families and suffered a lot. It was common for him to be hungry, beaten and scolded.
When he was seven years old, he could not bear the beatings and ran away from the family that adopted him. When he was about to starve to death, he met Mr. Meng, who adopted him and taught him medicine. However, after a few years of good life, the Meng family was ruined, and he and Mr. Meng became bad elements and fell to this point.
When Lin Zhao heard how much suffering her fourth brother had endured, she felt as if her heart was being scratched and her teeth were about to break. She was filled with hatred.
May the human traffickers be struck by lightning!
"Brother, go back and tell mother about Meng Jiusi, and ask if Fourth Brother has any other birthmarks, or ask Mom and Dad to find a chance to see him. They are his parents, so they will know if it is Fourth Brother. What do you think?"
Lin Shichang had the same idea, "Yeah."
"Brother, is Meng Jiusi married?" Lin Zhao knew that many of the people who were educated were divorced.
She was not sure if this man was her biological brother, so she could only call him by his name for now.
Lin Shichang asked Meng Jiusi this question.
"They got married, but divorced. The two children are with the woman."
Lin Zhao sighed.
I understand.
She thought that Meng Jiusi and his wife were divorced, and there was a high possibility that the woman had remarried. In that case, what should she do with the baby who was suspected to be her nephew?
"Brother, where is Meng Jiusi's home?"
Lin Shichang: "In the capital."
Damn.
So far!
It takes a lot of time to find out.
"Forget it, let's first confirm whether that's Fourth Brother!"
Lin Shichang was as anxious as his sister. "Zhao Zhao, let me borrow your bicycle. I'll go back and tell mom."
His mother has a quick temper. If anyone dares to hide such a big thing from her, even for one morning, she will get angry.
Before Lin Zhao could say anything, Gu Chenghuai pushed the bicycle over to his brother-in-law and said, "Brother, use it as you like."
Lin Shichang patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder, got on his bike and returned to the village.
With something on his mind, he rode very fast and returned to the Dongfeng Brigade in half an hour.
The people who were chatting at the entrance of the village were all surprised to see Boss Lin coming back so early.
"Big Egg's father, why did you come back so early today? Did something happen?"
"Where's Xuanxuan's father? Why haven't we seen him come back?"
Lin Shichang could not say anything and could only make excuses to get around it.
"I came back to get something, so you aunts can chat."
Having said that, he rode away on his bicycle.
Lin family.
Lin Heling and Song Xiwei learned from the eldest brother that when Shichang and Zhaozhao saw someone who looked like Xiaosi, the couple was stunned and didn't react for a long time. They were shocked and happy in their hearts.
Little Four...
"Is it Xiao Si?" Lin Heling was always calm, but at this moment he was shocked by the news that Lin Shichang brought back and his voice trembled.
"Zhao Zhao and I think it's very possible, but we're afraid of making a mistake," said Lin Shichang.
Song Xiwei stood up and made a prompt decision: "Bring a chicken and the eggs you have saved, and I'll go take a look."
After finally getting some news about Xiao Si, Lin Heling, the father, couldn't sit still any longer, "I'll go too."
"OK."
If he leaves He Ling behind, he will feel uneasy, so it is better to take the person with him.
Song Xiwei arranged the affairs at home and rode her bike to the Harvest Brigade with Lin Heling.
Lin Shichang was not idle. He borrowed a bicycle from the team leader's home and hurried to catch up.
Yuan Xiang didn't understand and looked at Chen Yu, "Cousin, who is Xiao Si that my aunt and the others are talking about?"
"It's not surprising that you don't know," Chen Yu explained, "Little Four and Little Three are twins. They were stolen when they were born."
In the past, no one in the family dared to mention it because they were afraid of upsetting their in-laws.
"Ah...?" Yuan Xiang finally understood.
She clasped her hands together and muttered something to herself.
I hope that person is the Xiao Si that my aunt mentioned, and I hope my aunt and uncle-in-law will get what they want.
…
Lin Zhao didn't know that her parents were on their way to Fengshou Brigade. As soon as she arrived home, she was surrounded by Yubao and Hengbao.
"Mom, it's the gift you mentioned!" Hengbao asked his mother for a gift openly.
"I haven't showered yet. It's so hot."
Hearing their mother's words, the two kids hurried to fetch water and towels, their movements quick and efficient.
Lin Zhao washed her face as usual and felt better all over.
"The gift is in the bag, go and see for yourself."
Hengbao rushed over first, untied the rope of the cloth bag, and took out the things inside.
Those were a few smaller enamelware pots.
It says "Labor is the most glorious" on it.
The whole thing is white, and the patterns and words are bright red, small and beautiful.
"Mom, is this the cup for us?" Yubao asked happily. He didn't have a cup for drinking water.
Lin Zhao smiled gently, "Yes, one for each of you little ones. Xingye, Xingci, Alan, you are older now, I will give you the older ones in a few days."
Drinking water from a bowl is so inconvenient.
Tiechui heard that his name was there, and asked excitedly, "Aunt San, is there mine too?"
The child's eyes are wide open, clear and bright, and he looks very cute.
Lin Zhao pinched his little face, "Yes, you are Yu Bao and Heng Bao's good brother, so you must have one."
Tiechui was overjoyed and thanked her politely, "Thank you, Third Aunt."
Third Aunt is so nice.
"You're welcome."
Xingye, Xingci and Alan were all very happy. Third Aunt had not forgotten them.
Yubao liked the gift his mother gave him very much. He rubbed his little head against her and said, "Mom, I like the gift you gave me very much. I will be careful and won't drop it."
"Mom believes you. I'll scald it in boiling water to disinfect it before use." Lin Zhao touched her son's head.
"Um!"
