Chapter 96 Two in One
Two days later, Haozi told Ding Guo that the names of her second uncle Ding Zhige, second aunt Huang Meihua and cousin Ding Tao were rolling wildly in the backstage. Ding Guo hurried to the backstage to check and immediately smiled.
'You gain 3 points of internal consumption from 'Yellow Plum Blossom''
'You gain 3 points of internal consumption from 'Yellow Plum Blossom''
'You gain 4 points of internal consumption from 'Ding Zhige''
'You gain 3 points of internal consumption from 'Ding Tao''
'You gain 6 points of internal consumption from 'Yellow Plum Blossom''
'You get...'
The scrolling speed is so fast that it is hard to keep up.
If he hadn't seen these names, Ding Guo would have almost forgotten Ding Laoer's family.
It is not difficult to guess that such a big event as relocating the household registration cannot be concealed from the villagers. Ding Dayong followed me into the city, and then he did not return for a long time. Everyone knew that Ding Dayong must have a job, and they also knew that he must be a temporary worker, otherwise he would have returned to relocate his household registration long ago.
At that time, Ding Zhige and his wife were busy resenting Yue Hongmei's inconsistency, and they were not active behind Ding Guo. Later, when they learned that Ding Dayong stayed in the city, they thought it was Ding Zhigang's help, and they didn't believe that Ding Guo had such great ability. Even though Huang Meihua called Yue Hongmei to argue, Yue Hongmei didn't admit it, and Huang Meihua didn't believe that Ding Guo had the ability to keep Ding Dayong in the city.
After all, when Ding Guo brought Ding Dayong to the city, she herself didn't have a job. If she really had that ability, how could she have the time to go to the countryside?
This time it was different. Changing the household registration meant changing from farmer to non-farmer, and they would no longer have to work on the land for a living. Ding Laoer's family was going crazy with jealousy.
He should have come to his senses, or he was resentful without distinction. Perhaps he still did not believe that this was Ding Guo's ability, and he still blamed Ding Zhigang and Yue Hongmei for their partiality, and was just taking his anger out on Ding Guo.
Ding Guo doesn't care whether he vents his anger on others or not, as long as he has an income.
At this moment, she was also busy, busy with the work at hand, while chatting with Haozi, distractedly looking at the backstage. The reason why Haozi took the initiative to report the backstage income was purely to change the subject. There was no other reason, the greedy host wanted to get something from it again.
A quarter of an hour ago, Haozi reported to her that the new props had been successfully developed and had entered the trial period. As agreed last time, Ding Guo could choose one and try it out first. After the trial, the system would carry out an upgrade and optimization, and that prop would then officially belong to Ding Guo.
A total of three curse props were developed this time: 1. Invisible banana peel, when used on a target, it can make the target fall and fall head over heels, and it can only be used three times a day; 2. Odorless mute medicine, when used on a target, it can make the target temporarily speechless for fifteen minutes, and it can only be used three times a day; 3. Evil ghosts entering dreams, when used on a target, it can cause the target to have nightmares, and it can only be used three times a day.
It’s too difficult to choose, she wants all three. She is also thinking about the microphone prop, but she has never had the chance.
So he tried to coax Haozi into giving him a little more. When Haozi was losing ground, he found that the backend income had skyrocketed, so he quickly reported it to him in a flattering manner.
Ding Guo was certainly happy to have income, but she didn't forget about the watermelon because of the sesame. She admired it for a few seconds and then left the backstage, saying, "Don't say anything useless. A good idea is worth a thousand gold. I provided this idea, and you can make money continuously in the future... earn internal consumption value, which greatly enriches your system's prop warehouse. Maybe you can draw inferences from one example and research more new props. Tell me, is my contribution great? Such a great contribution, shouldn't I be rewarded more?"
Although she didn't know what benefits the host's internal consumption value could bring to the system, but seeing their generous rewards of a house on the left and a house on the right, she knew that the benefits should be considerable... Although the second house was still in the heroine's mind, she was just waiting for the fruit to ripen.
Dante felt that there was room for bargaining.
Once again, Haozi felt that what his host said… made some sense. He couldn't stop the host from being unreasonable, so he could only report it. As long as his superior said no, it would be useless for his host to continue to be unreasonable.
After a moment, Haozi remained silent for a long time as he looked at the reply sent back by his superior.
Is it because the superior’s bottom line is too low, so the host can succeed every time?
Haozi replied frustratedly: "The cursed item reward can only be increased by one. If the host wants more, he needs to spend a certain amount of internal consumption value to buy it."
Ding Guo: “Price?”
Haozi: "Fifty thousand internal consumption is worth one."
Ding Guo looked at her savings. After such a long period of madness, the stimulation to all the old and young in the Ding family, and several large rewards from the system, her savings now just exceeded 300,000. 300,000 internal consumption value sounds like a lot, but it is only 3,000 yuan when converted into RMB. But to put it another way, she has earned 3,000 yuan in less than half a year since returning to the city. Well, the salary is very high!
Fifty thousand internal consumption is worth one prop, which is RMB 500... It hurts a bit just thinking about it.
Ding Guo gritted his teeth and said, "Buy two at a time. I'll buy a microphone too. Give me a 20% discount!"
System: "...Host, the discount privilege is not available. The purchase opportunity is only available this time. I need to ask if I can buy two items."
Ding Guo said with a smile: "Haozi, go ahead and ask, and help me apply for a discount."
The discount was not finally approved, but she was allowed to buy one more prop. Ding Guo resolutely deducted 100,000 internal consumption points and bought two props.
There were three cursed items, and she was originally supposed to have one, but she applied for an extra one and bought one to make the whole thing.
The microphone prop is also in hand. There is no urgent need to use it right now, but who knows when it will be used.
However, it really hurts to spend 100,000 internal consumption points, and I have to earn it back quickly.
So, at noon, she called the Red Star Commune, hoping to ask someone to go to the Yangjiawo Brigade to pass a message to Ding Dayong or Peng Guihua.
Unless it was an important document, people in the commune would not specifically help run errands to the various brigades to deliver such information. But Ding Guo promised on the phone that he was willing to pay 20 cents as a running fee, which would be paid by the person who received the message.
The commune operator was skeptical, but Ding Guo said, "If you see Ding Dayong or Peng Guihua in person, just ask them to give you 20 cents and tell them it was me who said so. Don't worry, they will definitely give it to you!"
I originally wanted Ding Dayong to call me back, but it was too inconvenient.
The distance from the commune to the village is not close. Even if people put down their work and ride their bicycles to call for help, it will take nearly an hour to go back and forth. So it is better to pass the message directly. If Ding Dayong still doesn't understand, he can find time to call her at the food factory.
Yangjiawo Brigade!
Ding Dayong's return to the village was a rare event in the village.
When the neighbors who were jealous of him coming to the city saw Ding Dayong coming back at an unusual time of the year, they greeted him maliciously without waiting for details: "Dayong, have you returned from your work in the city? This temporary job is unreliable. You'd better come back and earn work points honestly. Then your mother can find you a proper wife next year."
Then I looked at the things he was carrying in one hand and the bag hanging on his shoulder, and it didn't look like there were much.
It was obvious at first glance that he had not done well in the city, and therefore, all kinds of malicious speculations became more and more numerous.
Ding Zhicheng and Peng Guihua, who were working in the fields, hurried home upon hearing the news and saw their son whom they had not seen for many days.
When Peng Guihua learned that her eldest son had become a formal worker and had returned to move his household registration, tears of excitement welled up in her eyes.
She never dreamed that one day one of her three children would become a worker.
"My sister helped me with this." Ding Dayong said, "Once the household registration is moved, this matter will definitely be revealed. I don't know how my uncle and aunt will make a fuss. You guys have to help my sister."
Peng Guihua said hurriedly, "Why don't we tell others that it was your eldest sister who found the connection for you? Just say that you did a good job in the factory and the leader gave you a permanent job."
Of course, if Huang Meihua said something bad about Ding Guo, she would definitely curse back.
Ding Dayong nodded. In order to avoid causing trouble for his sister, it was okay to say this.
Fearing that the night would be too long and that time was tight, Ding Dayong pushed the things he brought to his mother, including a roll of big unity wrapped in a handkerchief, and said, "My sister gave them to me. The things and money were all given by my sister. She said they were to honor you and my father. My sister wouldn't let me take them... I'll go and get the formalities done first."
He went to the village without even having time to drink a sip of water, which did not give his mother the chance to get angry after seeing the money.
Relocation of household registration, conversion from rural to non-rural, how long has it been since Yangjiawo Brigade last had such a big event? It really caused a stir in the village.
Then when Ding Laoer's family heard the news, their eyes turned red. They did not let Ding Dayong down and immediately made a fuss. They ran to Peng Guihua to cry and complain, saying that their elder brother and sister-in-law were extremely partial to each other and scolded Ding Guo for being heartless.
They mainly cursed Ding Zhigang and Yue Hongmei, and only complained about Ding Guo. They felt that Ding Guo was raised by their family, but she didn't speak to her parents on behalf of her cousin, and didn't help her cousin get a job in the city so that she could find a good family in the future.
So, it's really just venting anger on others.
Peng Guihua sneered: "I have no objection to you saying that my elder brother and his wife are partial to me, and you can even say that they are stupid, but you can't say anything about Ding Guo. How did you treat the child back then? Do you think the child has forgotten? How dare you say that?"
Huang Meihua sobbed and said, "Whose family didn't have a shortage of food in those days? I want to feed my children, so I have to have some too!"
Only the third family is stupid. They can't even get enough to eat, so they save the food for that dead girl, and don't even think of giving a bite to her servant.
"Then why did you let Danier help you with the laundry? It's so cold, and such a small child is sitting in your yard, washing clothes, while you are lying on the kang in the house, cuddling." After scolding her, Peng Guihua added unhappily, "Keep your howling down, Dayong didn't get much sleep after sitting on the train for two days, so he is sleeping in the house."
Ding Dayong went back to his room to sleep after finishing the formalities. Peng Guihua originally wanted to ask him in detail about his arm being unsteady and what happened to the two hundred yuan, but seeing the bloodshot eyes of her eldest son, she felt a little reluctant and asked him to go to sleep first and ask him after he woke up.
As a result, before his son woke up, his sister-in-law came to the house.
Huang Meihua was so angry that she choked. After a long while, she continued, "Okay, let's not talk about Dani'er. Then, Third Aunt, what do you think I said about his uncle and aunt? His uncle is really biased. He is also a knowledgeable and educated worker. It's not okay to favor boys over girls. Didn't his aunt say that they never favor boys over girls when she came back every year? Ding Tao is his niece. She is now old enough to get married. His uncle has to help with either work or marriage, don't you think?"
Huang Meihua planned to go to the third brother's house to make some trouble, hoping that Peng Guihua would ask to take her daughter Ding Tao with her when Ding Dayong returned to the city. Once they arrived in Fengning, it would be impossible for her eldest uncle to drive her daughter Ding Tao back.
It’s okay if she doesn’t look for a job, but she can help her daughter Ding Tao find a husband in the city.
But no matter what she said, the sister-in-law just didn't respond, cursing in her heart that the third brother's family got such a big advantage, but now they started to play dumb. She simply stopped crying and said, "When will Dayong come back to Fengning? I'll go with him. I'll go to his uncle's house and ask. Nephews are biological, but nieces are not biological? Why do you only find a job for your Dayong and not for our Ding Tao?"
Peng Guihua's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Huang Meihua would do this. If she went to the city and found out that the job was not found by her uncle but by Ding Guo, wouldn't that cause trouble for Ding Guo? She said, "Dayong has been busy since he came back, and he hasn't decided yet. I haven't even asked him how many days he can stay at home."
No, it won’t work. When Dayong wakes up in a while, tell him to lie and say he will not go back to Fengning. He will wait for the convoy to pass by and follow the car.
At this point it doesn’t matter whether Dayong’s unit is exposed or not. The most important thing is not to let Huang Meihua follow Dayong to Fengning and then rely on Ding Guo.
Huang Meihua could see that Peng Guihua was just trying to please her, so she snorted coldly and walked away.
Don't tell her? Then she will keep a close eye on Ding Dayong in the next two days. She has to go to Fengning.
Besides, even if Ding Dayong really didn't take her with him, she and her husband could send their daughter over.
In the evening, Ding Dazhui and Ding Dalin also came back. They were extremely happy to know that their eldest brother was back. However, there was loud snoring in the room, so they didn't dare to call their eldest brother. The two boys were curious to see what their eldest brother brought back when the door was knocked.
Peng Guihua thought it was the second brother's house again, but when she opened the door, she saw a stranger.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, comrade. I'm from the commune. I'm looking for Peng Guihua or Ding Dayong. A comrade named Ding Guo asked me to pass on a message."
"I, I, I'm Peng Guihua, Ding Guo is my niece. What did she want you to tell her?"
The other party quickly conveyed Ding Guo's instructions verbatim, and finally scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Um... Comrade Ding Guo told me to pass on a message and asked you to give me two or two cents for running errands."
Peng Guihua didn't bother to digest the message Ding Guo had sent her, and hurriedly took out money from her pocket and said, "Here, it's due. Thank you for your hard work, comrade."
“It’s not hard!”
After the other party left, Peng Guihua thought about it and went into the house and called out to her eldest son: "Don't sleep anymore. Your sister sent someone to pass on a message."
Ding Dayong was still a little confused. After a while, he gradually came to his senses: "Mom, what did you say?"
Peng Guihua said: "Your eldest sister called the commune and asked them to tell us, 'Tell us the truth, everything is pushed onto her.'"
Ding Dayong had been seriously sleep deprived in the past two days. He was woken up from a deep sleep, but his mind was still confused. He was stunned for a while before he reacted. He yawned and said, "Did my eldest sister guess that the second uncle's family would come to make trouble, so she asked us to tell the truth and not lie for my sister?"
Peng Guihua showed a distressed look on her face: "Your eldest sister is really... I guess she's afraid that we'll be in trouble. If a child is loved by his parents, how can he handle this?"
Ding Dayong straightened his chest and said, "Mom, I'm grown up now. I will be my sister's support in the future. I can't let my sister take care of everything. I will never push this onto my sister. If Second Master has any dissatisfaction, let him come to me and I will talk to him."
Peng Guihua nodded and looked at her eldest son with satisfaction: "After seeing the world, I feel like you have grown up. Your sister has had a hard life since she was a child, so you should take better care of her. By the way, what's the matter with the two hundred yuan? Two hundred yuan, not two yuan, not twenty yuan, your sister gave it to you and you really took it!"
As she spoke, she twisted her eldest son's ear.
But now the eldest son has traveled a little bit and seen a lot of the world. In addition to retaining the honesty in his bones, his cleverness has also been stimulated. He has learned to play the victim: "Mom, my arm hurts. Please take out the bandage from my bag. My arm needs to be slinged."
In order to minimize the discussion about him, he took off the bandage in advance when he entered the village. But when Peng Guihua came back and saw her son, she saw something was wrong after a few glances, but she was in a hurry and didn't bother to ask in detail. Ding Dayong didn't elaborate either, just saying that he twisted his arm and it would be healed soon.
When she heard about the bandage, Peng Guihua's heart immediately rose to her throat, and she said, "It's just a sprain, why do you need a bandage? Oh, that piece of cloth in your bag is a bandage? I saw it when I was packing your bag just now, and I thought you brought it back for your dad to use as a belt. I thought it wasn't long enough, and it wouldn't be very strong if you wrapped it once, and it would be a bit tight if you wrapped it twice. I put it away, wait for me to get it."
Ding Dayong: “…”
After getting the strap, Ding Dayong hung his arm by himself, but still insisted that it was "not serious" and "will be healed soon", but he was not allowed to lift heavy objects.
Seeing that his mother had calmed down, he said, "Mom, you should consider the money that my elder sister gave you as saving for her. My elder sister insisted on giving it to me, and if I didn't take it, even if my elder sister really beat me up, I wouldn't dare to fight back..."
"You still want to fight back?" Before Ding Dayong could finish his words, he was slapped on the head by his mother. After the slap, Peng Guihua remembered to ask, "Hey, is your head twisted?"
Ding Dayong: …
However, the money has been taken back, and it is not appropriate to let the eldest son take it back intact. As the eldest son said, he will save it for Ding Guo. At most, he can use it to buy a dowry for Ding Guo when she gets married in the future.
Although Ding Zhicheng was not talkative, he looked at his eldest son with concern.
Ding Dazhu is a very smart person. His parents were only worried and didn't pay attention to the point at all. Dazhu asked: "Brother, aren't you a car escort? You can't even touch the steering wheel, how come you twisted your arm?"
Ding Dayong glared at him unhappily: "When loading and unloading the truck, I have to help carry and move things. I twisted it if I wasn't careful... Eat your bread. That bread was invented by our eldest sister. The factory held a meeting to praise our sister. And those snacks over there were bought by our eldest sister from the capital. Our eldest sister has been to the capital..."
After hearing this, Ding Zhicheng and Peng Guihua immediately perked up and surrounded their son, asking, "Your eldest sister went to the capital? When did it happen? And was this bread really researched by your sister?"
Ding Dayong thought that his elder sister not only went to the capital, but also suddenly found a partner. However, he didn't know much about the details, so he didn't tell his parents for the time being.
He talked about his eldest sister's glory, and then pointed at the military boots his mother took out of the bag and said, "These military boots were also bought by my eldest sister. I kept one pair, and this pair is for Dad."
Ding Zhicheng had seen the boots before, but he didn't know if his son had any other use for them. He was just jealous and didn't dare to try them. Now, after hearing what his son said, he quickly went over to get them, put them on, and walked back and forth in the room, his eyes slightly red, saying, "This is a rare item."
He had never worn such formal boots before, and they were military boots.
This is all thanks to my niece.
After he had his fill, he took it off, looked at his second son, and said, "Give it to Dazhu. It would be a waste for me to wear it."
Ding Dazhu said, "Dad, this is a gift from my elder sister and elder brother to you. You should wear it."
Ding Dayong said, "Yes, Dad, let Dazhu wear it when he goes out. When his feet grow longer next year, we can give him the new ones then. Let's give the two new enamelware pots to these two boys, so they can have something new."
Ding Dazhui and Ding Dalin didn't know yet that their eldest brother had brought back two enamel pots. Upon hearing this, they looked at their mother with shining eyes.
Peng Guihua had locked it up long ago, so she was reluctant to use the new jar.
Ding Dayong said with a smile: "Mom, that is the honor of big sister. Let Dazhu and Dalin take advantage of big sister's honor and earn some honor in the future."
"Help me, I'll get it for you." Peng Guihua said with a smile, "Remember your eldest sister's kindness."
"Don't worry, mom. We all remember it." Ding Dazhu said to Ding Dalin.
The family here is lively and cheerful, while the second family is feeling sour.
Huang Meihua pinched her husband and asked, "Are you going or not?"
Ding Zhige didn't want to go. He blamed his elder brother and was jealous of his nephew Dayong. But if he was asked to go to Fengning to find his elder brother, he didn't dare to go.
People who have lived in the village all their lives have an inexplicable awe of the city. When facing the workers, they feel a sense of inferiority.
Even though he expressed his dissatisfaction at home, when he was in front of his brother and sister-in-law, he didn't dare to say a word.
"Dad, I want to go. I want to go to the city. Why don't you arrange a job for me? I just want to go!" Ding Tao twisted her fingers and said in a firm tone.
Ding Dayong can be a worker, so why can't she be one? The uncle should treat everyone equally.
Moreover, her mother said that even if she couldn't find a job, she could stay in the city by asking her uncle and aunt to help her find a marriage partner in the city.
