Chapter 311: Advice
Wang Yuping glared at He Xiaoyuan and said, "You want to go against me? Be careful or I'll pull your blanket off when you fall asleep tonight."
"Besides, don't think you're better than me. You've also been tossing and turning lately and having trouble falling asleep."
He Xiaoyuan rushed over to catch Wang Yuping, but Wang Yuping hid behind Yu Wanqing: "Come on, come on, see if you can catch me."
He Xiaoyuan accused: "You have no shame."
"Wanqing, do you think Yuping's current behavior is a bit like Ji Qing?"
He Xiaoyuan did not try to catch Wang Yuping, and just sat on her bed: "Yuping used to be so cheerful, cheerful, and helpful. Since she has been talking to Ji Qing more, her words and actions have been influenced by Ji Qing. She is no longer as innocent as before."
There was nothing wrong at first, but after He Xiaoyuan said it, it seemed like there was really something between them that had to be discussed.
Wang Yuping felt that if He Xiaoyuan continued to talk, she and Ji Qing would not be able to explain themselves clearly.
"Shut up, if you continue talking, be careful Ji Qing will come after you." Wang Yuping reminded him slyly, "The two of us combined may not be as cunning as Ji Qing alone."
He Xiaoyuan curled her lips: "You seem very proud."
Wang Yuping nodded repeatedly: "I am simple and proud."
Yu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh: "Sometimes, there is another explanation for simplicity."
Perhaps in Ji Qing's heart, Wang Yuping's simplicity has some other explanation.
"Stupid, stupid." Wang Yuping rolled her eyes: "Don't think I don't know. I'm not as stupid as Ji Qing said. It's just that sometimes I can't play tricks as well as others. I have a little self-awareness."
Yu Wanqing and He Xiaoyuan couldn't help laughing when they heard her confession. He Xiaoyuan stepped forward and hugged Wang Yuping's shoulders: "Okay, you are very sober. I'm not afraid that you will be deceived."
"Who are you looking down on?" Wang Yuping pinched He Xiaoyuan's face and said, "You want to deceive me? You wish."
Ji Qing and Ou Jianguo wanted to find Yu Wanqing, and just when they heard Wang Yuping's words, he lowered his head and smiled faintly.
Sometimes, it is easy to fall when you are too confident.
Ou Jianguo said, "Yu Zhiqing, can you come out for a moment?"
Yu Wanqing and Ou Jianguo walked into the yard, and she asked, "Will the secretary allow you to take leave?"
Ou Jianguo nodded: "It has been approved. I will go back to deal with this matter during the half-month vacation, and then I may bring my mother to join our team."
"The secretary agreed and wrote a certificate stating that he was willing to take my mother in."
Yu Wanqing nodded when she heard this: "It's a good thing to be prepared for both situations."
Thinking that his mother might be suffering, he couldn't help but clench his fists and said, "Yu Zhiqing, thank you so much for this. Otherwise, I would never know that I am not the biological son of the Ou family, let alone that my mother is suffering now."
“I’ve failed miserably as a son.”
Yu Wanqing shook her head: "Don't think of yourself like that, you just didn't know the truth. Now that you know it, ask for leave and go back immediately."
"Sometimes, we are far away from our parents and we are unable to help them if they have any problems. This is not because you are unfilial or a failure in life, but because of the environment."
Yu Wanqing thought of the mess at the Ou family's stall and reminded Ou Jianguo: "When you go back, you should ask your mother about your life experience and listen to her suggestions and plans. If you and your mother come to the same decision, things will be easy."
"If you two have different decisions, you need to explain it clearly to your mother. You can even tell her that you have decided to settle down in the brigade and that you will need her help when you get married and have children in the future." Yu Wanqing was worried that Ou Jianguo would act impulsively after seeing his mother like this.
"Your mother definitely puts you first. You can say that you are a bit miserable, but your mother will still feel sorry for her child."
Ou Jianguo nodded repeatedly. He had wanted to return to Beijing and explain things to the Ou family. Regardless of whether his mother agreed or not, he forcibly brought the people to the Five-Star Brigade.
His mother had no relatives, and he was her only relative. She was bullied because she had no relatives in Beijing. No matter what, he could not leave his mother in Beijing.
"I understand. I will handle this calmly."
Yu Wanqing said: "The Ou family took 300 yuan from the person who hit your mother, and the matter was left unresolved. As far as I know, the money is already in the hands of your adoptive father."
Ou Jianguo gritted his teeth in hatred: "They are going too far. I really can't calm down."
"You must handle this matter calmly." Yu Wanqing thought of the group of people she saw parading on her way from home to the train station a few days ago, and a dark light flashed in her eyes: "Ou Jianguo, no matter what your adoptive father thinks, he has always been very good to you in the past few years and raised you as his own son."
"The neighbors have witnessed how good he is to you, and how your three brothers protect and love you. If you make a big deal out of it, everyone will just say you're an ungrateful person."
As long as the Ou family insists that the money is just for Mother Ou, who can do anything to them?
Yu Wanqing sighed: "Your mother's affairs cannot be changed. Her job has been replaced by your third brother. The only thing you can do now is to calm down and strive for greater benefits for you and your mother."
When we first came to the Five-Star Brigade, everyone talked about their relatives. Ou Jianguo said that his parents were very good to him and his brother also loved him.
Before the accident happened to Ou's mother, they had indeed done nothing to let Ou Jianguo down.
He even sent money to Ou Jianguo frequently.
If he makes a fuss when he returns, it will be easy for others to find fault with him.
At this moment, any slight disturbance may implicate yourself and your loved ones.
Yu Wanqing hopes that Ou Jianguo can calm down and not let anger cloud his mind.
The two men stood in the yard of the educated youth center and talked for a long time. Ou Jianguo also calmed down from his anger.
Ji Qing rode his bike to take Ou Jianguo to the commune to take the last bus to the county seat.
Yu Wanqing was going to visit the pharmaceutical factory in the afternoon, and happened to be on the same route as where Wang Yuping and He Xiaoyuan were going to work.
Wang Yuping whispered, "When Ou Zhiqing left, I saw his eyes were red. I guess he cried while packing his luggage."
He Xiaoyuan pursed her lips and said, "He suddenly found out that his father and brother were not his biological children, and his mother was injured again. He must be very upset."
"Auntie is unemployed now. If you are really willing to come to the Five-Star Brigade, you can live with your mother."
Speaking of which, He Xiaoyuan is a little jealous of those who can live with their parents.
Her parents are far away in the Northeast, and it is impossible for them to leave their hometown to live in the Five-Star Brigade.
She had planned to return to her hometown before, but now she works in a pharmaceutical factory, where the salary is not low, and she can also pick herbs or grow herbs to sell when she has time.
So now she doesn't want to go back, and her parents won't come either, so the family is really separated by thousands of miles.
Wang Yuping said: "You are the only daughter in your family. When you get married and have children, you can trick your parents into helping you take care of the children so that the family can be reunited."
Unlike her, she is really like a floating duckweed, not knowing when she will have a home or where is home.
