Chapter 5757 When Ding Guo heard the news, her pork floss noodles…
Ding Jianguo looked at his parents in disbelief.
There was a look of struggle on the faces of Ding Zhigang and his wife.
If possible, I don't want to make such a suggestion.
Once these words were spoken, the eldest son would definitely have opinions about them.
The body that can be built is really...
Ding Jianguo felt a little uncomfortable.
He also knew that Jianshe's injuries were serious and it was best for him to recuperate at home. He thought his parents would find a way to get Jianshe's job done as soon as possible and never thought that his parents would set their sights on him.
He understands construction, but it is difficult for him to agree with his parents' suggestion.
Why sacrifice him?
Ding Jianguo felt extremely upset.
Seeing her eldest son's resistance, Yue Hongmei gritted her teeth and said, "Jianguo, you are the eldest son in the family and their big brother. You should take on the responsibility of being a big brother at a time like this..."
Ding Jianguo frowned, as if he had heard this somewhere before.
Yes, a few years ago, the neighborhood office came to mobilize them to go to the countryside and asked them to arrange one as soon as possible. That’s what my parents said to my eldest sister at that time.
At that time, my eldest sister seemed very happy to be able to do something for the family and agreed without much hesitation.
But why was he so unhappy?
I even feel it’s unfair. Why should older brothers and sisters give unconditionally to their parents?
At this time, Ding Jianguo forgot that he always regarded himself as the eldest son. He could take care of his younger brothers and sisters in the name of the eldest brother. But why did he feel so uncomfortable when he was asked to take on the responsibilities of an older brother?
Today is no longer the time when everyone is full of passion and imagines going to the countryside to make contributions and build a new countryside. Although there are still countless educated youth going to the countryside every year, a large number of educated youth have also returned to the city. From their mouths, he knows that life in the countryside is not easy. Not only is it hard and tiring, but there are also countless calculations.
Not everyone in the countryside is simple and honest.
The villagers were not particularly interested in the educated young people from the city.
If they met good village cadres, the lives of the educated youth could be better; but if they met cadres who were confused and only favored the local villagers, the educated youth would have nowhere to complain when they were wronged, and their lives would be so miserable that it would be terrifying to hear about.
But getting away from that environment and returning to the city is harder than climbing to the sky.
As a person who has never suffered hardship since childhood and still can't even wash his clothes, Ding Jianguo can't imagine leaving his familiar home and going to an unfamiliar village.
At this moment, Ding Jianguo was selfish. He didn't want to go to the countryside and didn't want to leave his familiar environment.
Ding Jianguo's escapist mentality made him look at Yue Hongmei involuntarily.
When she met her eldest son's gaze, Yue Hongmei's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
"Mom, actually, we can let Jianshe take over your job."
This method is more suitable than giving up his job and going to the countryside. He doesn't have to leave, and the construction doesn't have to go to the countryside. And his mother can't go to the countryside. She just quits her job and returns to the family, and is only responsible for the family's food and drink. This is much more comfortable than him going to the countryside to suffer.
The more Ding Jianguo thought about it, the more he felt that this was a brilliant idea. It was the best of both worlds. Why didn't his parents think of this before?
Yue Hongmei was struck by lightning.
This thunder was given by my own son!
"You want me to retire at such a young age?" Yue Hongmei asked in a lost voice.
Ding Jianguo didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He smiled and advised, "Mom, it's time for you to enjoy your life. You can give your job to Jianshe and come back to take care of our food and clothing. You can also take better care of Xiangxiang and Jiandang. Dad and I will work together to make money for you to spend."
The more he talked about it, the more he felt that this method was perfect. Isn't this better than asking him to give up his job and move to the countryside?
She even said coquettishly, "Mom, are you willing to let your eldest son leave home and not even see him for several years?"
Yue Hongmei was indeed reluctant to leave, but she was also reluctant to leave her job.
She has a job and gets paid every month. It is easy for her to save some money, so she can give Nianjun as much as she wants.
If she retires from her job, she will not be able to spend the salary Lao Ding hands over as freely as if she earned the money herself.
I have to think carefully before giving Nianjun any more subsidies.
If it was fine before, Lao Ding wouldn't care too much, but now that Lao Ding knows Nianjun's background, she will inevitably be more restrained.
Besides, she prefers working to being a housewife.
Even if you have to do laundry, cooking and cleaning after work, it is still different from doing all the housework at home.
Yue Hongmei felt a little sad.
She looked at her second son, hoping that he could say something for her, but unexpectedly she met his sparkling eyes. Those eyes were full of expectation for him to take over her.
Yue Hongmei choked suddenly.
When Ding Jianshe first heard his eldest brother resisting his parents' proposal, he felt a little uncomfortable, but his eldest brother immediately proposed a more appropriate solution.
Yes, my mom’s job is much more respectable than my brother’s, and the salary is higher.
Rather than taking over his elder brother's job, he would rather take over his mother's job.
The discomfort in my heart disappeared instantly, and what was left was the anticipation of taking over her mother's shift.
Ding Zhigang was still stunned, staring in disbelief at his eldest son, whom he thought still had the demeanor of an eldest son.
He thought that his eldest son would also take on the responsibilities of an eldest brother like his eldest daughter had done before, and would happily give up his job and go to the countryside to replace his younger brother.
But I didn't expect the eldest son to refuse so bluntly.
This made Comrade Lao Ding a little dazed, and he couldn't help but think of Ding Guo's little face, which was a little excited as he devoted himself to the family.
Thinking of his eldest daughter, he couldn't help but ask, "How is Ding Guo's work at the food factory?"
Yue Hongmei's eyes lit up. Yes, there is also that troublemaker.
But her expression darkened immediately, and she said, "That troublemaker will definitely not want to give up his job to Jianshe."
Ding Zhigang was stunned.
The words that he blurted out just now were just because he suddenly thought of his eldest daughter and wanted to know whether her work at the food factory was going well. He had no intention of plotting against his eldest daughter's work, but his wife's words made him feel complicated and his expression suddenly turned bad.
Why does the wife subconsciously want the eldest daughter to sacrifice herself when she mentions her eldest daughter? Does she think the eldest daughter's existence is to sacrifice herself for the rest of the family?
But he forgot that he had thought the same way before.
Just because he has felt guilty from time to time recently, he starts to stand on the moral high ground and blame his wife without any psychological burden.
"How can you be thinking about Danier's work?"
Yue Hongmei choked and looked at her husband in confusion.
Otherwise, why mention that troublemaker?
But the couple did not continue the topic. The most important thing at the moment was who would do the construction work.
The family meeting ended without reaching any conclusion.
Ding Jianguo was not worried at all. He secretly applauded the method he came up with.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He even saw that Jianshe was more in favor of the solution he proposed.
Mom won’t refuse!
Yue Hongmei secretly cursed her eldest son several times in her heart, calling him an ungrateful little bastard. Of course, the same resentment towards the eldest daughter and the eldest son was also different. She really cursed Ding Guo, but she was angry with the eldest son. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she would not really scold the eldest son.
Ding Zhigang felt a little disappointed because of his eldest son's subconscious evasion, but he thought seriously about Ding Jianguo's suggestion and felt that it would not be a bad thing to let his wife return to the family.
In the past, children were young and needed to be raised, and the wages of working couples could reduce the pressure on them to raise several children.
Now that the children have grown up, only Xiangxiang and Jiandang are still in school. The other children can all earn wages, and the pressure has been greatly reduced. His wife can completely step down from her job and concentrate on taking care of the family, and he can also have ready-made meals when he comes home from get off work.
So, after returning to the bedroom and seeing that his wife had not spoken, he gently advised: "That brat Jianguo has never suffered any hardship since he was a child, and he has never left us. Although he has his own plans, we really can't bear to let our eldest son go to the countryside. Why don't you do what Jianguo said and give your job to Jianshe so that you can take a break when you retire."
Yue Hongmei was of course not happy about it, but her own son didn't want to go to the countryside, and now he couldn't find a job for the time being. Nianjun's side was also a mess. He didn't know what happened to Dingfeng during this trip to the capital. It was not good to cause trouble for them at this time, so it seemed that this was the only way.
But for some reason, she felt aggrieved and couldn't help crying. When the street office came to urge her again, she completed the work handover process with her son, gave the job to Ding Jianshe, and stepped down.
When Ding Guo learned the news, her meat floss bread and red bean milk bread had already been approved by the factory after several experiments and entered the approval process.
Team leader Chen Xiufang walked happily every day, and looked at Ding Guo as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
Ding Guo used to love taro paste and wanted to make taro paste sandwiches, but Fengning didn't produce taro. At that time, transportation was not so convenient, and the transportation cost of raw materials was high. The cost of bread would also increase, so the selling price could not be low. Not to mention whether there would be a market, the price declaration might not be approved. So he had to give up and use red bean instead, which was equally delicious.
It was Xiao Hong who passed the news about Yue Hongmei's retirement to her.
"It's also quite helpless. I don't want to know these things." Xiao Hong smiled bitterly, "But because Ding Jianguo and I once talked about it, and now we're separated, if there's any news from him, our mutual acquaintances can't help but come to me and talk about your family's affairs."
She was simply speechless.
Fortunately, the news was quite explosive this time, so she just listened to it for fun. However, she also warned that good friend not to mention anything about Ding Jianguo's country to her in the future, making it so sticky, as if she had some other ideas.
Ding Guo invited Xiao Hong to have dinner at home, but she didn't get to eat the dishes cooked by Ding Dayong. She bought ready-made meals from the mall. The steamed buns were steamed for her by Ding Dayong before he went on a business trip recently.
Business trips have become a common occurrence for Ding Dayong now. Short trips of two or three days are more common, but he has also started to go on longer trips. This time he will be away for about ten days. Ding Guo is quite worried and has been nagging him for a long time.
The good thing is that this route will pass through Huiyang, so he has half a day to go home.
But Ding Guo reminded him to tell his third aunt and others not to tell his second uncle's family about his current specific work unit. Ding Guo was worried that his second uncle's family would envy Ding Dayong for being able to stay in the city, and then contact her stepfather to let Ding Zhigang know that Ding Dayong was not sent back to the countryside by them, and then do something bad.
Ding Dayong had suffered a loss once, and the kid had learned his lesson, so he naturally responded.
Knowing that Yue Hongmei had become a housewife, Ding Guo was also somewhat surprised: "For her own son, she is really willing to risk everything!"
But Ding Guo felt a little puzzled. This was a good opportunity for Ding Nianjun to make her presence felt, so why didn't she ask the Pan family for help?
Or has the Pan family still been on high alert after such a long time?
"Do you know the latest news about Ding Nianjun?" Ding Guo asked.
When Xiao Hong heard the name Ding Guo mentioned, she showed some disgust on her face and shook her head, "I don't know. I have a conflict with this person. I used to feel uncomfortable every time I met her. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but I feel itchy when I see Ding Nianjun."
Ding Guo smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. Her performance is perfect, but it makes you feel fake. However, no one else approves of her fakeness, and you cannot say anything wrong about her. Once you show the slightest disapproval, you may be attacked by everyone."
The more Xiao Hong listened, the wider her eyes widened. She nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, God, finally someone can understand my thoughts and frustrations. Do you also feel so frustrated in front of her?"
Ding Guo laughed and said, "Of course I'm not!" She laughed, "I won't hold it back. I will just confront her and tear off her hypocritical cotton yarn, or give her a slap in the face to stop her from continuing her performance."
Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "That's how it should be!"
It's refreshing to listen to.
But she couldn't do this before. She cared about Ding Jianguo at that time. Even if she disliked Ding Nianjun, she had to endure the disgust and pretend to be nice to her.
Seeing that Ding Guo wanted to know Ding Nianjun's current information, she said, "I'll help you find out."
Ding Guo shook his head: "No need, you finally got rid of the greasy and disgusting stuff, don't get involved with it again, she is not important!"
Since Xiao Hong has nothing to do with the Ding family anymore, don't let her get involved in the Ding family's affairs.
If others find out when she is asking about it, they will think that Xiao Hong has broken up with Ding Jianguo, but is still asking about her ex-boyfriend's sister, and they will spread some unfounded gossip about her, which will only bring her trouble.
Of course, this does not apply to the fact that I passively learned about the Ding family this time.
Xiao Hong felt warm at heart when she heard this. Could she understand what Sister Ding Guo meant by this as 'Ding Nianjun is not important, she, Xiao Hong, is more important to Sister Ding Guo'?
A big smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Ding Guo!"
She looked down at the half-eaten steamed bun and changed the subject: "The steamed buns your brother made are so chewy, so delicious!"
Ding Guo smiled and said, "He is very strong. It would be a pity if he didn't use that much strength to knead the dough."
Xiao Hong laughed out loud. Sister Ding Guo and her cousin Ding Dayong were really different from the other people in the Ding family.
After Xiao Hong finished her meal and left, Ding Guo closed the door and slipped into the space. On the floor of the living room of the space was a freshly opened package, which was sent by the handsome neighbor.
The package is bigger than the last one and contains more variety of items.
It was obvious that a lot of effort had gone into collecting these things. How should she give in return?
Although she knew Pei Che might have such thoughts, the relationship was not officially settled after all, so she couldn't just take it back.
"Haozi, what do you think I should say in reply? I can always come up with some useful information, right?"
If you eat so many peanuts, melon seeds and walnuts, you will get a sore throat.
System: "Didn't they tell you not to return the gift?"
Ding Guo rolled his eyes: "Do I really listen to what others say?"
There is no need to return the same type and quantity as if you were paying off a debt, as that would be a clear signal of rejection.
She didn't think of refusing directly, so she just pulled it first to see if she could feel anything.
If the relationship doesn't work out in the end, I can convert the things he gave me into corresponding banknotes and pay him back.
You can give a small amount as a return gift, but it doesn't need to be processed on the spot. It's better to open it and eat it like roasted nuts, so that Pei Che can eat it conveniently.
Ding Guo thought about it and decided to order some sweet potato strips.
Another thing is that when she was sampling bread during this period, she suddenly thought of a dessert that she used to love to eat. The bread slices were baked crispy and delicious, and easy to preserve. At least they would not go bad during the mailing process.
Ding Guo took out a notebook, recalled the tutorials for making sweet potato strips and rusks, and began to write down the production steps he could remember.
