183: Picking up a stupid burden for nothing
.
Yu Xiaoye noticed that his father was in a bad mood and advised:
"But, Dad, think about it from another perspective. This may not be a completely bad thing. Although my eldest brother is gone, he has also completely left the Ninth Company and Li Dasong's family. No matter what, our family shouldn't be as miserable as in the book, right?"
These words made Yu Jiahui feel a little better.
Come to think of it, the two brothers in the book, the eldest was sentenced to death, and the second was taken away for reeducation through labor, which was already very miserable. Now the second has been taken back by them, and he can be slowly educated and reformed in the future. As for the eldest, he has gone out to make a living on his own. Even if he is miserable now, it can't be worse than in the book, right?
No matter where the boss goes alone, even if he is so poor that he can't even afford to eat, at least he still has his life.
As long as you are still alive, there is no fear that there will be no day when you can turn things around.
"Forget it. I can't care less. Life and death are determined by fate. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let him go."
Yu Jiahui let out a long sigh and looked down at what Yu Xiaoye was holding in his hand.
Yu Xiaoye noticed her father's gaze coming towards her, and immediately hid the two pieces of meat in her hands behind her back.
Yu Jiahui asked:
"Do you really want to send meat to Sai Jinhua's family?"
Yu Xiaoye said confidently:
"This time it was my mother's idea. My mother asked me to send it!"
"Your mother is really interesting now. She just finished fighting with Sai Jinhua, and now she's eager to give her meat!"
Yu Jiahui looked up and saw that it was already completely dark. He said:
"Come on, I'll take you there."
"Hehe, let's go!"
Yu Xiaoye happily took his father's arm and went with him to deliver the meat.
Go to Widow Wang’s house first.
When he was almost at Widow Wang's house, he saw a vague figure coming out of Widow Wang's yard in the darkness from afar. Looking at the gentle and refined walking posture, Yu Jiahui recognized it as Hong Cheng at a glance.
Yu Jiahui immediately grabbed his daughter and stopped to the side.
The father and daughter hid in the darkness, neither of them spoke. They waited until Hong Cheng's shadow had gone far away. Only then did Yu Jiahui cough dryly and said unnaturally:
"Don't let your imagination run wild, kid—"
"Dad, it's okay, I didn't see anything!"
"Well, fine, go on your own."
Yu Xiaoye gave a piece of meat to his father and took another piece of meat to Widow Wang's house.
After pushing and shoving for a long time at their house, Yu Xiaoye finally managed to get away and went to Sai Jinhua's house.
When they arrived at Sai Jinhua's house, Yu Xiaoye went there alone, while Yu Jiahui waited outside.
Sai Jinhua knew that Yu Xiaoye's brother had returned and was very worried that Yu Xiaoye would be bullied by him. She grabbed Yu Xiaoye's hand and warned her fiercely:
"Girl, if there's nothing to eat at home, just come to our house for dinner. Also, if your brother dares to bully you, tell me and I'll give him a lesson!"
"good!"
After delivering the roe deer meat, Yu Xiaoye followed his father home. At this time, Yu Erye had fallen asleep, but the lights in the room were still on.
Xu Ying cursed again and went to his room to get the lamp:
"I told him to turn off the lights before going to bed, but he's just listening in one ear and not the other. Doesn't lamp oil cost money? What if he kicks the lamp over while he's sleeping and the house catches fire? What if it catches fire? What a bummer!"
Yu Jiahui followed Xu Ying into the house.
I saw that Yu Erye was already fast asleep, with his bald, shiny head resting on the edge of the kang and a lantern beside him.
After Xu Ying entered the house, she stopped scolding. The old couple walked to the bottom of the kang and stood there, looking down at the head and the sleeping face. On half of the face was the fingerprint that Xu Ying had just made in the afternoon.
Yu Jiahui knew that he had two sons, but the experience became more real when his sons actually returned home and saw the real thing.
He scratched his head in disbelief:
"Just like that, you got a son for nothing?"
Xu Ying rolled her eyelids:
()..
.
"I picked up a stupid burden. What do you think is the point?"
"He's a little silly, but fools are easy to fool. Didn't you see he didn't suspect anything? If that smart guy comes back, he might suspect something is wrong with the three of us."
Xu Ying quickly hissed:
"Shh, be careful, don't say anything. If he hears you, he's not stupid enough to not understand."
"Oh, yes, yes—"
Yu Jiahui quickly covered his mouth.
After seeing this adopted son who suddenly appeared, Xu Ying picked up the lantern on the kang and dragged Yu Jiahui away.
The adopted son on the kang really heard nothing and was still sleeping soundly. In his dream, he was flirting with Cuihua by the river, their hearts fluttering.
In the west house, after the family of three finished their work in the small mud house, they went back to the space yacht to wash up.
Although they can now eat and sleep in the small mud house, they still have to go back to the yacht for hygiene issues, because there is ready-made hot water in the bathroom of the yacht, which makes washing more convenient.
For them, food and clothing can be compromised, but hygiene cannot be compromised.
After washing up, the three of them got busy again.
Yu Jiahui was busy fishing on the deck, Xu Ying was mending shoe soles in the cabin, and Yu Xiaoye was making tuna oil in the kitchen, preparing for his next trip to the black market.
Although our family conditions are a little better now, there is one more person in the family and the expenses will be greater in the future, so we cannot relax and must continue to work hard.
After working until late at night, the family finally rested.
——
The Ninth Company on the other side.
Li Xinchun hasn't been home for some time. He is a truck driver at Wufenchang. He usually eats and lives at the Wufenchang headquarters. In the past, he would go home whenever he had free time.
But I haven't been back for a while recently.
Mainly because the atmosphere at home is not right
There were two outsiders in their house who were annoying, and the whole family was in a gloomy mood all day long.
Because of these two outsiders, the food at home also deteriorated drastically. Every meal was made up of pickles and black bean flour buns, and there was almost not enough pickles in the house.
So Li Xinchun doesn't like to go home recently.
However, there was a young educated youth in the Ninth Company that he was thinking about. It wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't see his parents for a long time, but he would feel itchy if he didn't see the young educated youth for a few days.
So after finishing my early shift today, I went back to the company from the field headquarters.
As soon as I arrived at the door, my mother Cai Honghua ran out of the house happily, cheering all the way:
"Son, son, good news, great news!"
Li Xinchun was a little confused, not understanding what kind of good news could be coming from home. He pushed his bicycle into the yard, and Cai Honghua continued:
"Those two unlucky people of the Yu family are finally gone!"
Li Xinchun was in high spirits:
"Gone?"
"Yeah, they're gone. Thank God, they're finally gone. It's just right that you're back today. I'll cook a few more dishes tonight so we can celebrate. Oh my god, I've been suffering so much lately, eating pickled cabbage dumplings every day. I finally made those two guys starve away. We'll eat good food every day from now on. We have bacon and sausage at home. I'll cook two plates of them, and eggs too. Oh, and I'll kill a chicken so we can make chicken stew with mushrooms tonight!"
Li Xinchun listened to his mother start to call out the dishes, and a smile appeared on his face:
"How did those two leave? Didn't they blackmail you before they left?"
"No, they left on their own!"
Li Xinchun didn't quite believe it:
"Weren't they able to be driven away before? How come they just left on their own now? Did someone take them away?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, when I came back, I realized something was wrong at home. I went to the woodshed and saw that the brothers' bedding rolls were gone. They haven't come back yet. They must have left completely without even saying goodbye!"
