Xu Daqiang has become an ordinary person now. If it were in the past, he would definitely go up to him and have a good talk with him.
Now, things are changing.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Xu Daqiang was unhappy about this, but he could only bear it.
As soon as Chen Dazhuang went to another place, the couple started quarreling with each other.
Chen Baoguo was not in a hurry that day. Zhang Qiang asked him not to come in the afternoon, but he still came to earn work points.
Zhang Qiang asked, "Are you short of those work points or something?
Your brother asked you to leave tomorrow, can't you just pack up?
You are going to a big place anyway, can't you dress yourself up properly? "
Chen Baoguo said: "I'll do it in a while."
"I really don't know what to say about you. What's the point of earning a few work points? Can it compare to what your brother did?
Don't blame me for not reminding you that the bus to the provincial capital leaves at 1:00 a.m. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until 1:00 a.m. the day after tomorrow.
I have to go into the city this afternoon as well. I have a meeting at 8 a.m. tomorrow. If you want to go, you should pack up and go into the city with me this afternoon."
Chen Baoguo didn't think about this.
"Your words remind me. I'll go clean it up right away."
Chen Baoguo went home again carrying a hoe.
When he came, Zhang Cuihua was frying pancakes in the kitchen. As soon as he entered the yard, he smelled the fragrance of oil.
Chen Baoguo entered the kitchen and said, "Mom, is there any hot water? I want to take a bath.
Qiangzi said that the bus to the provincial capital leaves at 1:00 in the morning, and he will go into the city in the evening, so he will give me a ride at night.
I'll scrub myself, wash my hair and shave."
"Then you can leave in the afternoon, that's fine too.
There are two pots of hot water for you to use first. If it’s not enough, I’ll boil more for you.”
"Okay."
Chen Baoguo carried two pots of hot water and then a bucket of cold water to his room.
As soon as he got in, he mixed water in the room and took a bath, washed his hair and shaved. After washing, the water in the basin was all black.
Chen Baoguo changed into clean clothes and came out of the room, and Zhang Cuihua had finished frying the fried pancakes.
Zhang Cuihua said, "Hurry up and change out of this patched dress. I made you a Zhongshan suit. I'll go get it for you."
Chen Baoguo was a little surprised.
"Mom, when did you make these clothes for me? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"
"I made it for you in town a few days ago. I know your size. Go and change it quickly.
I'll go to the backyard cellar to get some sweet potatoes for your sister-in-law. Please take some time off when you leave and bring some with you."
"Don't worry, Mom. You can change your clothes before I leave. I'll go to the cellar in the backyard to get the sweet potatoes."
He went down to the cellar and took out some sweet potatoes.
Zhang Cuihua found some oil paper, wrapped about twenty oil cakes, and also took the shoes for the eldest brother and his wife.
Zhang Cuihua called Chen Baoguo to her room and said, "These are two ginseng roots for Grandpa Damei.
The last time your elder brother and his wife came over, the girl brought you such a big piece of bacon.
We don't have anything at home when you go this time, but these two ginsengs are not very big, but they are good enough for you to take with you."
Chen Baoguo knew where the two ginsengs came from, and said, "Mom, I won't take them. I'll buy two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarettes for Grandpa He, and two kilograms of snacks.
This looks good.”
"You kid, just take it with you, why are you so stubborn?
This is a gift from your father and me.
If you think it’s too little, go over there and buy some yourself.”
"Okay, okay, I'll take it."
Chen Baoguo smiled and wrapped the ginseng with red paper. The fried cakes and sweet potatoes had already been put into a clean cloth bag.
Zhang Cuihua looked at her second son with relief and said, "I don't know if your business will go smoothly on this trip.
Over there, if the work is done, just do it well.
It wasn't easy for your elder brother and sister-in-law to introduce you to a job, and they must have had to consider many people's feelings.
After you get there, you should be more attentive, be more diligent, and be sweeter. When you are out, you should keep your worries to yourself. Do you understand?"
Zhang Cuihua packed Chen Baoguo's clothes and cloth shoes, and gave him instructions for settling down.
"I know, mom. Don't worry."
Chen Kaifang heard the sound of the wind and knew that the sun was about to set.
He looked at Chen Baoguo's packed luggage and said nothing more. He just smoked his pipe in silence.
Zhang Cuihua reminded him again: "When you go there, explain our family situation clearly to the girl, and don't lie to her.
Whether things succeed or not, you must leave a good impression on others. You can't let people laugh at you right after you leave.
Got it? "
"knew."
“Remember, you must listen to your elder brother and sister-in-law.
If the job is successful, I will buy some things for your elder brother and sister-in-law with my first month's salary."
"knew."
"Take this fifty yuan. We don't have much money at home, so spend it sparingly on the road."
Chen Baoguo felt unhappy when he saw the old pictures of Great Unity in front of him.
A few years ago, my family sold a pig for about 100 yuan, which was their annual income.
My younger brother and sister still have to go to school and pay tuition. There are many places in the family where we need money. These fifty yuan are enough for the travel expenses to come here.
He had saved a few dozen dollars, which was enough for him.
Zhang Cuihua was still worried. The second oldest were calm and steady, and after all, she hadn't seen as many people as the eldest. She couldn't help but give them more nagging instructions.
After giving the instructions, Zhang Cuihua went to cook dinner. The family of four had dinner early and waited for Chen Baoguo to leave.
Chen Baoguo changed into his Zhongshan suit and cloth shoes. A few minutes later, Zhang Qiang arrived on a tractor.
The tractor was still running, and Zhang Qiang jumped off and walked into the yard.
"Baoguo, are you done packing?"
"Packed, coming right up."
Chen Baoguo lifted the door curtain and said, "We're ready. Do you want to have a drink of water before we go?"
“I just finished my meal and drank some water, so let’s go early when we’re ready.
Have you got your ID and letter of introduction?"
"It's all taken, don't worry."
Chen Baoguo went into the house and took out something, and Zhang Qiang helped carry a bag.
Chen Kaifang, Zhang Cuihua, and Chen Xiaohong all followed out and stood at the door.
Chen Baoguo said: "Mom and Dad, come in.
Xiaohong, take good care of yourself and your parents. "
"Got it, second brother. Be careful on the road."
"Got it. I'll write to you guys later."
Zhang Qiang said, "Uncle, aunt, go ahead. He will be fine."
Zhang Qiang chuckled, stepped on the accelerator, and the tractor rumbled away.
Zhang Cuihua couldn't help but tear up. There were five children in her family, and two of them were gone.
As parents, they have done their best for these children.
Chen Kaifang felt bad too, but when he thought that his children were going out this time because of work and marriage, he felt much better.
If you do these two things, your work will be successful and your marriage will be successful too.
If the job doesn't work out, the marriage may not be successful either.
However, it may not be impossible.
