Meng Jingmo said sensibly, "I will follow the arrangements of my uncle and aunt."
Lin Shichang rubbed his greasy head, turned around, picked up Meng Guangbai, put him on his neck and rode him like a horse.
Xiaobai was a little scared and his little body was stiff. But when he saw his brother smiling at him, he was less nervous. He hugged his uncle's head and looked around. After a while, his mouth opened up and he revealed a sweet smile.
Dad used to let him ride a big horse!
The state-owned restaurant was about to close and there was nothing left to eat, so Lin Zhao and the others ate a few bites and headed for the Harvest Brigade.
Lin Zhao was used to riding a bicycle, and after walking only two miles, her legs felt sore. She felt sorry for her brother's hard work and said, "Brother, should we buy a bicycle? It's too hard for you to walk back and forth to work. It's okay now when it's hot, but what will we do when it gets cold?"
"I have this plan." Lin Shichang's heart warmed, "I'm looking for bicycle tickets. I'll buy it when I get one."
Gu Chenghuai took the initiative to say, "Wait until I get back to the army and ask around. If there is any, I will send it back."
Lin Shichang didn't want to take advantage of his brother-in-law, so he said, "I'll buy it with my own money. If you don't want money, I won't take it."
Brothers should settle accounts clearly. He won’t ask for a favor in exchange for a bicycle for nothing.
Gu Chenghuai knew his elder brother-in-law's temperament, and a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes, "Listen to my elder brother, just give it to Zhao Zhao."
"Okay." Lin Shichang responded with a smile.
He won't let his sister suffer.
If he didn't have the confidence before, he is now fully confident.
"Brother, are you used to going to work?" Lin Zhao asked casually.
"Get used to it. What's there to be uncomfortable about? It's much easier than working in the fields." Lin Shichang felt that it was no wonder that everyone wanted to be a worker. It was indeed good. Not only did they get paid, but they also received invoices, other gifts during festivals, holidays every month, and overtime pay. It was unlike farmers who worked all year round but didn't make much money and couldn't even fill their stomachs.
Although the Lin family was well off, they did not live a very comfortable life.
Some things are hard to take out.
"If you have the opportunity, learn some skills," Lin Zhao suggested.
The job of looking after the warehouse is good for now, but there is not much room for advancement. It will be different if you learn the skills, and you will be able to find a job in the future.
Lin Shichang understood, "I know. Don't worry, I went to see my uncle this morning and asked him for a few books. I plan to learn more."
"I didn't have the opportunity before, but now the opportunity is in front of me. If I don't make progress, I will be a hopeless case."
He looked at Lin Zhao and said, "Don't worry, sister. I won't waste the opportunity you gave me."
Lin Zhao didn't waste any more words. "It's good that you know the answer, brother. I said nothing."
See, he is worthy of being her elder brother.
Just lack of opportunity.
You can fly with the wind.
Lin Shichang patted Zhao Zhao's head gently, "Not unnecessary. I know what you mean."
He was so ashamed! He was the eldest in the family and should have set a good example for his younger brothers and sisters, but he still had to rely on his younger sister to go to the city!
Lin Zhao had no idea what her elder brother was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely laugh at him for thinking too much.
If you want to get a job, you have to consider many aspects, such as being well-informed, having the bargaining chips that the job seller wants, and of course, the most important thing is... you have to be lucky!
We returned to the Harvest Brigade while chatting and laughing.
It was already dark by this time.
There was no one at the entrance of the village.
I walked towards the village, but didn't meet anyone. When I passed a few houses, I heard women scolding their children very loudly.
The twins, a boy and a girl, were hanging on Gu Chenghuai's body and sleeping soundly.
Gu Chenghuai sent the two little ones back to the house, and did not forget to wet a towel, wipe their bodies, and change their clothes.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Gu's mother coming out of the main house. The old mother looked very happy, "Third brother, you are back. Did you have a smooth journey? Where are your wife and four children?"
She was worried when she didn't see her four grandchildren.
I haven't slept well these days.
I wanted to go into the third room to take a look, but I knew that the third son's wife didn't like others entering her room, so I didn't go in.
Gu Chenghuai replied, "It went very smoothly. Qianbao and Yaobao are asleep. Yubao, Hengbao and Libao went to look for Zhaozhao, who is outside talking to my eldest brother-in-law and will be back soon."
"Zhao Zhao's elder brother is here?" Mother Gu was stunned for a moment and looked at her son blankly, "Why don't you invite him in?"
"..."
Gu Chenghuai was silent for a moment, "Mom, take a rest. I'll go take a look."
He would tell his parents about the Meng family's affairs later. When he returns to the army, Zhaozhao will have to go to work, and someone in the brigade will have to take care of Meng Jiusi. His parents have quite some prestige in the brigade, so it's just right to entrust him to them.
As for the others, let’s not talk about them for now.
Mother Gu snorted coldly and turned to look at Yubao and Hengbao.
Before entering the main house, I heard two screams.
"What is this?!! Little monkey!! Yubao Hengbao, where did this come from?" Tiedan (Gu Zhixing)'s excited voice floated.
"Wow...!" Little Libao said softly, "Yubao, Hengbao, is this your new partner?"
"That's right!" Hengbao answered loudly and touched the little golden monkey's tail. His movements were so gentle, unlike his usual aggressive look.
Yubao said: "It's a new member of our Gu family! Just like Dahuang Amber."
There are two loyal dogs in the house. Gu Chenghuai has trained them according to the military dog training methods of the army. Now they are smarter. They know that their owner will not let them into the house, so they squat at the door.
Then you can hear little master number one calling your name.
Amber stretched out her front paws, lifted the bamboo curtain, walked into the house, stood at the door, tilted her head to look at Yubao, and barked a few times.
Little master, why are you calling Wangwang?
Huang Xiulan was mending clothes nearby. When she saw the puppy at the door, she smiled and said, "This dog is really smart."
Heng Bao was full of pride, "My dad trained me. My dad is really good."
Behind Gu Chenghuai's back, he speaks very sweetly. If his father is around, he would be more likely to go against others. This is the little boy who says one thing but does another.
"Yes, yes, your dad is the best." Mother Gu smiled. She looked at her two grandsons and saw that the twins' faces were rosy and full of energy. She knew that they had a lot of fun on this trip, but she still asked, "My two darlings, tell me where you went?"
Without waiting for her grandson to speak, she sighed, "I have never even left our commune at my age, but I didn't expect that you two, at such young ages, have already been to the provincial capital!"
Yubao said sensibly: "When I grow up, I will take grandma to the provincial capital, to the capital, to see the Great Wall, to watch the flag-raising ceremony..."
These were all the promises Lin Zhao had drawn for him, and he then drew them for Gu's mother.
Mother Gu was deeply moved and she hugged Yu Bao and called him her darling.
"Oh, my filial grandson, I'm waiting for you to take me there. If I can go to the provincial capital or the capital, my life will be worth it."
Hengbao also wanted to show off, so he threw himself into Gu's mother's arms and waved his short arms, "Grandma, when I grow up I'm going to buy a big car, and then I'll take everyone in our family out to play. We can go wherever you want."
"Dear baby..." Mother Gu's refreshing voice was muffled.
Next, the twins talked about what they had seen and heard in the provincial capital.
Everyone was having a great time here. At the foot of the mountain, Meng Jiusi saw his two sons.
As if he had not expected it, when he saw Jing Mo and Guang Bai, he stood there in a daze, with a bitter look on his face.
Another dream…?
The thought just came up.
"Dad!" Little Jingmo ran over and hugged his father's waist fiercely, tears falling from his eyes, his voice full of grievance, "Dad, I finally found you, you can't leave us again in the future!"
Meng Jiusi lowered his head in a daze and touched his son's head. It was warm and his hair was prickly. It was... his Jing Mo.
"silently?"
Jing Mo nodded in his father's arms, holding Meng Jiusi tightly in his arms. Tears flowed like a faucet, and soon his eyes were red and his eyelids were swollen.
"It's me, I came to see you!"
Meng Jiusi's current appearance is not as glamorous as he was in the capital. The four-year-old Xiaobai looked at him blankly for several times. After confirming that this was his father, he burst into a loud cry and staggered towards him.
"dad……"
Meng Jiusi took a few steps forward, picked up his younger son, and held him in his arms together with his older son.
Questions are thrown out one after another.
"How did you get here?"
"How have you been these days?"
"Why do I feel like you guys have lost a lot of weight? Didn't you eat? Didn't I leave some money?"
"What's with the wound on Momo's face? Who hit you?"
…
Listening to his father's words, Xiaobai hugged Meng Jiusi's neck, as if looking for a safe harbor, but kept complaining.
"My brother and I had no food to eat. Grandma and my uncle... and Brother Jinbao, they beat me and my brother, and my mother didn't care."
The child's voice was soft, and every word he said was filled with unspeakable grievances.
"Brother Jinbao occupied my brother and I's room. He wouldn't let my brother and I sleep on the bed, or eat. He threw steamed buns on the ground and asked my brother and I to pick them up..."
These were all things that had just happened, and Xiao Guangbai remembered them very clearly. He had been thinking about complaining to his father the whole way, so now he spoke very smoothly.
Listening to these words, Meng Jiusi's face turned cold and he was shaking with anger. His teeth chattered against each other, making a crunching sound.
Obviously.
I am extremely angry.
Yuan family!
Yuan, family, people!!!
Meng Jiusi's eyes were bloodshot and he was filled with hatred.
Because his parents were unknown, he married a girl from a big city and never treated the Yuan family badly. He sent generous gifts every year during festivals, hoping that... if something happened to him, the Yuan family would give their two sons food because they thought he was a good son-in-law. He never expected that not long after he left, the Yuan family would treat Momo and Xiaobai like this!
Is this still a relative?
Meng Jiusi felt chilled.
His eyes were full of pain, "Dad made you suffer."
Little Jingmo sniffed, looking stubborn, "As long as I'm with Dad, eating wild vegetables won't be bitter."
The child was raised by Meng Jiusi, and he knew that what Mo Mo said was true.
He lowered his head and rubbed the top of his son's head, ignoring the sour smell on his child's head, and said with relief: "You work hard and silently take care of your brother. You are Dad's pride."
Meng Jiusi never received fatherly love since childhood. In the process of raising his sons, he gave them everything that he lacked.
Xiao Jingmo handed the torn patched package in his arms to Meng Jiusi.
He said seriously, "Dad, this is the money I brought, and the ancestral needle that my great-grandfather gave me. I give them all to you."
Meng Jiusi took it with surprise.
Open the package.
I looked at the set of acupuncture needles first.
His expression eased slightly, and he smiled, "I didn't expect you to have saved it. Your great grandfather will definitely be happy."
My sight shifted and I saw the money.
There is nothing else except money.
"You carry so much money with you!" Meng Jiusi was terrified, his face turned pale, "You are so young, this is too dangerous!"
Xiao Jingmela pulled at the clothes she and her brother were wearing, "Dad, my brother and I are like little beggars. I put my money in a rag bag, and no one paid attention to me along the way."
"That's because you were still young. No one would have thought that you carried so much money on you. If people knew about it, you would be in danger!" Meng Jiusi was not comforted. His heart was pounding. He couldn't calm down when he thought about his two sons being targeted by bad guys.
Xiao Jingmo is bold and careful, and he has thought about everything his father is worried about.
"I know. It's because I was young and wore tattered clothes that I dared to bring money out." He stood on tiptoe to help his father smooth his chest and comforted him seriously, "Dad told me so many stories, I know them all."
Meng Jiusi sighed, "You, you, luckily nothing happened, otherwise what would I do?"
Hearing the conversation between father and son, Lin Zhao and her eldest brother looked at each other. Neither of them had expected that the tattered bundle was full of money.
Lin Zhao smiled, her eyes full of admiration, "Mo Mo is really brave, but it was really unexpected, I didn't see the problem."
He was so calm along the way. Who would have thought that the ragged kid was holding a "gold brick" in his arms.
What a clever guy.
After Meng Jiusi finished talking to his two sons, he walked towards Lin Zhao and said, "Zhao Zhao, thank you."
"Fourth brother, you are my dear fourth brother, why are you being so polite? We are a family, and we should not have different opinions." Lin Zhao's face was full of disapproval.
"Okay, I won't say anything more." Meng Jiusi's brows were filled with a bright smile.
Take out the ancestral acupuncture needles.
He stuffed the rag bag full of money into Lin Zhao's hands.
"Take this money."
Lin Zhao was stunned and hurried to return the money, "What do I need this money for..."
Meng Jiusi held her hand, interrupted Lin Zhao and shut her up with her words, "We are one family and we should not talk behind each other's backs."
Lin Zhao: “…”
"Zhao Zhao, my current situation..." Meng Jiusi paused slightly, leaving nothing to be said.
"It's useless for me to ask for money. It will be troublesome if I keep it. Maybe someone will confiscate it someday. I might as well give it to you. You have given me so many things, and I can't repay you with even a little. I feel uneasy. You can keep half of this money, and give the remaining half to my parents. Just say it's my filial piety as a son. Please accept it."
Xiao Jingmo saw this scene and said nothing.
The money belongs to dad, and he can give it to whoever he wants.
It’s much better to give it to my aunt than to the Yuan family!
No, no, the Yuan family is not worthy to be compared with his aunt!
Seeing that Lin Zhao wanted to say something else, Meng Jiusi said with a serious expression, "If you don't accept it, it means you don't really recognize me as your fourth brother."
Now that things have come to this, what else can Lin Zhao say?
She didn't mind and tucked the dirty and old cloth bag under her armpit.
The voice was crisp: "I'll take it!"
Lin Zhao's eyes were clear and bright, and she chuckled, "With so much money, you'd be a fool not to take it."
"I made a fortune on this trip. Not only did I get to see the world, but I also got so much money for free. Who would be as lucky as me?"
Meng Jiusi also smiled, "As long as you like it."
Lin Zhao's eyes softened. "For my parents, it is more precious for my fourth brother to call them father and mother earlier than giving them money."
Meng Jiusi looked helpless. He had already called them dad and mom countless times in his heart, but... he just wasn't used to it.
The next time his parents come, he will definitely be able to call them out.
Lin Zhao noticed something and stopped talking about it, casually changing the subject.
"Fourth brother, what are you going to do with Momo and Xiaobai?"
