Chapter 224
He Tian didn't directly say what he wanted, but asked his father: "Dad, if my cousin who I have never met really comes back one day, can we live a good life?"
He Youde was silent for a moment. Is there any need to ask? Of course it is impossible.
Besides, if what happened back then was brought up again, wouldn’t he be finished?
Even if big brother didn't sue him, he and Xiaotian would not get help from big brother in the future.
All these years of planning have been in vain.
It's that peasant again! He is the one who made him so passive now.
That family is such a jerk. They are clearly trying to control him. He can just dream on.
No matter who it is, don't try to stand in his son's way.
"Xiaotian, don't worry. Your unlucky cousin will never bother you again in his life. Dad will make all the arrangements for you. All you need to do is work hard to climb up the ladder.
Our family's good life depends on you.
At that time, your grandfather didn't let your dad go with your uncle because he felt sorry for him.
If I could have defended my country back then, I would definitely be no worse than him now.
Dad is too filial, and your grandpa is short-sighted.
But it doesn’t matter, Dad will never hold you back.”
When He Youde thought about the good life his elder brother had enjoyed over the years, he felt unwilling to accept it.
Why can't this wonderful day be his?
After hearing what his father said, He Tian knew that there should be no problem. As long as that cousin never appeared in front of him for the rest of his life, then it would be fine.
After a while, he found a few more people and asked them to pretend to know the cousin whom they had never met, and then told the family that the cousin was dead.
By then, uncle will definitely not wait any longer.
"Dad, I believe what you say, but you must also promise not to let that cousin appear in front of me. I will find some people as soon as possible to make uncle believe that my cousin is dead." He Tian was worried that He Youde was unreliable, and he mentioned the importance of this matter again.
He also told me his plan.
He Youde was very pleased after hearing his son's thoughts. This was indeed his son.
And he all thought of going together.
"Okay, Dad will listen to you."
Winter comes unexpectedly.
The weather was originally quite warm, but somehow, in less than a week, it started snowing in the county.
It’s only December in the solar calendar, but the snow fell quite early this year.
Early in the morning, when Bai Xiuxiu got up, he saw a vast expanse of white outside.
Even the roads were blocked by snow.
After Bai Xiuxiu got dressed and got off the kang, she saw her mother washing vegetables beside the iron pot on the stove.
The two children sat by her and warmed themselves by the fire.
Bai Xiuxiu looked around, but didn't see her man anywhere, which was a bit strange.
"What are you looking for so early in the morning?" Mrs. Wei asked her with a smile as she watched her daughter looking around.
She has been here for a few days now, and the relationship between the daughter-in-law and her son-in-law is really good.
Every morning, her son-in-law takes care of Xiuxiu more attentively than her mother.
Bai Xiuxiu also sat next to her mother and helped her pick vegetable leaves: "Mom, where's Qinghe? Why didn't I see him this morning?"
"He went to the factory. It's snowing heavily now. The coal from their factory has just been transported in, and he was called to go and help. The factory can subsidize three cans of food, so he lit the stove early in the morning and went there." Mrs. Wei washed the vegetables and looked at her daughter who was in a daze.
Smiled: "What's wrong? Tell mom if you have anything to say."
"No, I'm just used to him being home early in the morning." After washing the vegetables, Bai Xiu Xiu washed her hands and braided Yueyue's hair.
Mrs. Wei prepared the dishes and called her daughter-in-law and her granddaughters to eat together.
I was eating when someone came outside.
This person came over in a hurry, and his figure seemed to be Director Wang.
She was accompanied by Xiao Tang and Xiao Song.
Seeing that Bai Xiu Xiu was still eating, Director Wang hesitated whether to step into the house.
"Director? Xiao Tang and Xiao Song? Why are you here?" Bai Xiu Xiu was very surprised. It wasn't even working hours yet and they all came early today.
Director Wang saw that she was shocked, so he explained, "I asked them to come together. It was snowing heavily outside today, and I was thinking of giving the female comrades a half-day off until the snow cleared. But I just had a meeting and heard that someone from above was coming to inspect recently.
We attach great importance to every street.
I immediately went to call them both, Xiuxiu, our street is always at the forefront of everything.
This time is no exception.
We have to clean up all the snow as quickly as possible.
The matter of delivering coal to the lonely elderly people in this street will also be implemented as soon as possible.
Time is a bit tight, if you have finished your meal, shall we leave quickly? "
Director Wang's tone was also a little anxious.
I heard that the people who came to inspect the street offices this time were from the provincial government.
To see the street atmosphere in different places and see how they do things.
This is a great opportunity. If Wutong Street performs well, she will definitely be taken seriously when she attends meetings in the future.
Who doesn’t want to be more outstanding?
Bai Xiuxiu had almost finished her meal, and after hearing how important it was, she followed him out: "Director, I've already finished my meal, let's go now."
"Xiu Xiu, wait a moment and take the lunch box with you." Seeing that her young lady was in a hurry, Mrs. Wei quickly handed her the prepared lunch box.
"I've also brought food to my son-in-law. No matter how busy you are at noon, remember to heat up the food so you don't get hungry or cold." Mrs. Wei admonished her daughter. Looking at the weather outside, she felt that her daughter and son-in-law were really hard-working.
At least it's warmer over there than here.
"Mom, I'll go out first. It's snowing so heavily outside today, and there's still food at home, so you don't have to go out." Bai Xiu Xiu hurriedly followed her out.
After going out, Xiao Song was very envious of Bai Xiuxiu's situation: "Xiuxiu, your mother is really considerate. She has been staying with you all the time. Does your husband agree?"
Her mother would not be happy if she came to live here permanently or just to have a meal occasionally. Her mother-in-law and her husband would not be happy about it.
After all, everyone's food is precious. If you give it to others, you will have one less bite to eat.
"My mother is here and has helped me and my husband a lot. There's someone to look after the two children and cook for them, so we don't have to prepare again when we get home." Bai Xiu Xiu was really happy that her mother was here.
When Xiao Song heard this, his smile became a little forced.
Xiao Tang standing by felt even more upset. Why did she get all the good things?
"Let's go to the office first to get the snow-clearing supplies. Today, not only are we going to clear the snow, I've also found some young guys to help with the work.
Last year, the office had a lot of blank notebooks left over, so we gave each of them ten.
They are all from nearby families who have children or younger siblings who go to school there.”
