The 33rd day of being eavesdropped
Gu Yousi woke up after a long afternoon nap and smelled a fragrant aroma in the house.
She smacked her lips and shouted, "Mom, Mom..."
Now she could crawl, but the kang was so high that she couldn't climb down.
In the main room outside, Liang Ying had just put the fried pork slices with green onions on a plate when she heard the lady in the room shouting. She immediately smiled and said, "It must be the lady who smelled the meat."
"I'll go hold her. This child has a really good nose."
Gu Yinxing got off work, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and threw it into her mouth, quickly dodged He Chunlian's hand, ran into the house and held Gu Yousi out.
Gu Yousi was wearing a small cotton jacket and cotton pants, both pink with flowers, leaning on the edge of the table, drooling, "Meat, meat..."
"Yes, it's meat, our Erniu is really smart."
Gu Yinxing smiled so hard that her eyebrows were bent. She said, "Our Erniu wants to eat meat, right?"
Gu Yousi nodded, her face full of milk fat, her cheeks red, looking at her mother pitifully.
In just a few months, it was enough for her to know who in this family could decide whether she eats meat or drinks porridge.
"At most, I'll give you three slices, mix them in the porridge."
Liang Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and picked out three slices of meat.
Gu Yousi was immediately satisfied. Three pieces of meat were not a small amount. The onion fried meat was honest, and each piece of meat was not small. But she didn't expect that Liang Ying would chop the meat into minced meat...
During dinner, she held a small bowl and drank the meat porridge.
The whole family didn't think there was anything wrong with a child who was less than one year old drinking porridge by himself. Their child was smart. Isn't it normal for him to drink porridge at this age?
It was also because the old Gu family didn't pay attention. Huang Xirong next door hated them to death. Their Dabao was about the same age as Gu Yousi, but Gu Yousi could crawl and talk, and eat some rice by himself. Although it was inevitable that he would spill some, people said that this child was smart at first glance, and his eyes were bright.
But Song Dabao still can't speak, and he won't crawl. He is chubby, and his arms and legs are all fleshy.
"Daughter-in-law, don't do anything rash when you first go to the third workshop."
He Chunlian helped take care of the child while reminding Liang Ying.
Liang Ying smiled and said, "Mom, I know, I'm not stupid."
"Mom, that's killing a chicken to scare the monkey. How can my sister-in-law survive? I just heard from someone next door that the third workshop is full of troublemakers. Not only are they not motivated, but they also like to form cliques." Gu Yinxing muttered.
He Chunlian rolled her eyes at her, "I can't tell you otherwise. Your sister-in-law is new here, and those people have known each other for who knows how many years. They are killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Do you think they isolate your sister-in-law or your sister-in-law isolates them? We all know the problems of those people. If we really want to go against them, who wouldn't do it? Deng Mei is a March 8th Red Flag Bearer, she can't beat them just the same!"
Gu Yinxing pouted, feeling very dissatisfied.
He Chunlian was too lazy to tell her that this young man was ignorant of the world. Liang Ying was a smart person, and she only needed to say one word.
She thought that her daughter-in-law must be sure to take on this responsibility!
Liang Ying also knew in her heart that this matter could not be rushed.
The next day, she took over the shift from Sister Deng. She introduced herself, got to know the people in the workshop, and then went to work. She didn't set any rules or please anyone.
But Liang Ying became the team leader just like that, which made Chen Xiuhong and Zhang Xing'er, who had previously competed for the organization in the third workshop, very angry. It also made Lin Lianhua, who had been waiting to see Liang Ying's excitement, very angry.
"Check the thing carefully. Is it the same thing as before?"
Gu Jinshui opened the newspaper and put the snuff bottle inside on the table.
Director Chen quickly picked it up and looked at it carefully. He couldn't let it go. He looked at it for a while before reluctantly putting it down. He went into the house and took out the jade cicada. "Little brother, this is the jade cicada you wanted. We are even now."
"We are even now!"
Gu Jinshui was a little excited.
Director Chen said happily, "Little brother, it seems that you really love this thing."
"Yes, I think about this little thing day and night, just like you love that snuff bottle."
Gu Jinshui admitted generously.
Director Chen pursed his lips and smiled, "You are an honest man, but I am really surprised that you can find this snuff bottle. Such good things were hard to find in the past."
"It's fate."
Gu Jinshui said, "If you have good things in the future, you can ask me to sell them. I promise to give you a good price."
"No problem." Director Chen smiled and wanted to invite Gu Jinshui to dinner, but Gu Jinshui refused. He didn't have such a close relationship with him, so why should he stay for dinner?
Director Chen is an open-minded person. It is estimated that he knows many people who collect antiques. It is more beneficial to have a long-term friendship.
After getting the jade cicada, Gu Jinshui didn't rush to find Chen Dengxing. He had just got off work and was in a hurry to have dinner. It would be impolite to find him.
He packed a box of dumplings for Mr. Xi.
Mr. Xi was jealous while eating dumplings while listening to Gu Jinshui's story about how he got this jade cicada.
Gu Jinshui couldn't help but say, "Master, now I know that this antique business is really not that easy."
Mr. Xi ate dumplings, raised his drooping eyelids to look at him, and then lowered his head to eat dumplings.
Gu Jinshui complained for a long time but received no response. He couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. He coughed and said, "Master, why don't you say something?"
"What?"
Master Xi put the last dumpling into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it before saying, "Your luck is better than anyone else's. What else do you have to complain about? Most people can't even get a chance to win in their lifetime, but you've gotten so many chances in a row. Just laugh. I'll ask you to shovel the ground tomorrow, then you'll know what hardship is."
"Shovel the ground?"
Gu Jinshui blinked. He ran over to pinch the old man's arms and legs, "Master, do you have any plans for me?"
"Go away."
Master Xi's whole body stiffened. He couldn't stand his apprentice's flattery.
He said, "If you're interested, just let me know. Someone is going to Xi'an next month and can give you a ride, but it will take at least a month or two. You can make your own decision."
Gu Jinshui hesitated and touched the back of his head.
"I need to think about this."
"Okay, go back and think about it yourself." Old Master Xi did not persuade him. This is how he treated Gu Jinshui. I give you the idea, and it's up to you whether you accept it or not.
Gu Jinshui was hesitant in his heart.
If he didn't have a child, he would leave with just one word, but now he has a child and a wife, and he can't help but worry about going so far.
Nowadays, road bandits are rampant, and those trucks that travel far have to carry guns and knives when they go out, not to mention that Xi'an is a place where he is unfamiliar with.
Gu Jinshui was thinking about something. When he passed by the department store, he didn't forget to buy a bag of candy. His wife had been trying hard to stand firm in the third workshop recently. She was like a scrambler when eating in the factory. After eating a few bites, she hurried back to the workshop to stare at the gauze tablets. She
lost weight in a few days. Gu Jinshui felt sorry for his wife and thought that this candy could at least supplement her nutrition. Isn't it true that people drink milk by mixing white rabbit milk candy with water?
Eating this candy can also supplement her nutrition.
As soon as he got home with the candy, Gu Jinshui saw Liang Renyi and his wife, whom he hadn't seen for a while.
"Hey, Jinshui is back."
Liang Renyi was drinking plain water, and when he saw Gu Jinshui coming in with a bag of candy, his eyes immediately lit up, like a weasel seeing a chicken.
Xu Fenglai also had a smile on his face, and his expression changed as fast as the Sichuan face-changing.
Gu Jinshui looked at his wife who didn't smile, and then at Liang Renyi, and knew that this cheap brother-in-law probably came to visit for something, and it wasn't a small matter.
"Yeah, why don't you go home so late? Who's taking care of the children at home?"
Gu Jinshui pretended to be confused, and he took the bag of candy into the house in front of Liang Renyi and his wife. The meaning was very obvious, don't try to take his family's things.
Xu Fenglai frowned, curled the corners of his lips, and exchanged a look with Liang Renyi.
What he meant was, look at how rich the Gu family is, yet they are so stingy that they can't even afford to give him a pack of candies.
"Dad, Dad..."
In the room, Gu Yousi, who was sitting in a walker, grabbed Gu Jinshui and pointed outside, "Go, go."
Whenever the Liang Renyi couple came to the Gu family, there was something bad going on. He couldn't let his parents get cheated!
Gu Jinshui was happy. This was a kind and righteous child who knew how to protect his parents.
He picked up Gu Yousi, opened the candy package, took out one and let Gu Yousi lick it slowly.
Gu Yousi didn't mind.
After drinking porridge all day long, which was bland, it was good enough to have something sweet to sweeten his mouth.
"Jinshui, we came to you when the child was asleep," Liang Renyi showed a helpless and sad look on his face, "You really helped us this time!"
"What's the matter? If it's a big deal
, you don't have to say it." Gu Jinshui guessed that he was in a good mood and was in the mood to make fun of him.
Liang Renyi was choked, and a look of anger flashed across his eyes. He smiled and said, "It's a big deal. If it's a small matter, we can solve it ourselves."
"Yes, that's the case. A relative of my family was abroad a few years ago. He wrote a letter back a while ago and said that he wanted to see us. Do you think this is a big deal?"
Xu Fenglai said quickly.
Overseas Chinese?
Gu Jinshui and Liang Ying looked at each other.
Liang Ying laughed, "Sister-in-law, this is really a rare thing. Aren't all your family members from poor peasant families? How could you have overseas relatives? I've never heard of this."
"This kind of thing couldn't be said in the past few years. Who dared to say that they had relatives abroad in the past?" Xu Fenglai paused and quickly added, "It's not until the past few years that things have been relaxed and we can communicate with each other at home and abroad. That's why we know that there is such an aunt abroad. My aunt has made a lot of money abroad, but she has no children. She contacted us not long ago and said that she wanted to take us out and asked us to take care of her in her old age and then leave all her inheritance to us. You say, can we miss such a big thing?"
Bullshit!
What overseas Chinese relatives? They just want to go abroad!
Gu Yusitang stopped eating and stared at Liang Renyi and his wife.
Not only did he want to go abroad, he also wanted to cheat Gu's family before he left. It all depends on whether she agrees!
