410: A bunch of top-quality goods from my hometown
When Yu Xiaoye thought of this, her scalp went numb. She vaguely understood why she didn't prepare any gifts for her family when she came.
Those top-notch people don’t deserve any gifts at all!
So Yu Xiaoye made a plan to take these candies and other things back and take them out depending on the situation.
If the people in her hometown are still as good as before, she might as well put them in the space and take them home for her parents to eat. She is not that magnanimous and does not want to repay evil with kindness. She will treat others the way they treat her.
After making plans for what to do after returning home, Yu Xiaoye began to instruct his second brother.
"Second brother, when we get home, remember, don't say anything."
Yu Erye didn't understand what this meant:
"What?"
Yu Xiaoye began to explain everything in detail:
"Remember, don't mention Big Brother's disappearance for now. If they ask, just say Big Brother is fine over there and has a job."
Yu Erye nodded:
"Oh, I understand. I'm mainly afraid they'll worry, right? I won't tell them."
"Also, don't tell anyone that Dad is a section chief. Just say he's a farmer there. If anyone asks about his salary, just say he makes 28 yuan a month. Don't tell the truth."
Yu Erye couldn't understand this:
"Why can't you tell the truth?"
Is Yu Erye still waiting to go back and brag to the villagers?
In the past, he was the one who had to listen to other people bragging to him. Now it’s finally his turn to brag to others, so why not let him?
His greatest joy when he returned home was, first, to see Cuihua, and second, to brag to his friends about how his father was now an official, a high-ranking official, with a monthly salary of 42 yuan, which was the highest salary in their village!
How could he not show off such an awesome thing?
Yu Xiaoye saw his second brother's expression of confusion and could not say much, so he just said:
"If you tell them, they'll be jealous."
"Oh, okay then. Can I tell the truth to Grandma, Grandpa, and Third Uncle?"
“No way!”
"Huh? You can't even tell them?"
Yu Xiaoye nodded. In fact, the main thing to guard against was being found out by these people. Whether outsiders were jealous or not was not that important. He was just afraid that if his family members found out, there would be trouble.
Yu Erye was very conflicted, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was his younger sister who brought him home this time. If it weren't for his younger sister, he wouldn't know when he would be able to come back, so he had to listen to his younger sister.
So, even though he was very reluctant, Yu Erye nodded:
"Okay, I won't tell them."
"Remember, if you don't ask, don't tell me. If someone asks, don't tell them either. Unless they ask urgently, then you should tell them that Dad is working on that kind of land, making 28 yuan a month. Don't tell them about me dancing there. Just tell them that I was living with a fool there, and that my eldest brother was also farming. As for you, you will be able to farm soon too. Remember that."
"Remember, we all farm the land, and then you live with fools."
Yu Xiaoye was very satisfied and continued to instruct:
"Also, when we get home, if someone bullies me, you have to protect me."
Yu Erye immediately straightened his chest and said viciously:
"Of course, if anyone dares to bully you, I will beat him to death!"
"What if grandma bullies me?"
“…”
Yu Erye thought about his grandmother's attitude towards the sisters in the family. She often scolded them as money-losing goods, made them work non-stop, and didn't let them have enough food. Yu Erye was indeed a little worried.
Before coming to the Great Northern Wilderness, Yu Erye thought that it was all natural and that all girls should be treated that way, so he never thought there was anything wrong with it.
But since he went to the Great Northern Wilderness and found his parents, he saw that his parents loved him very much, even more than their own sons. Only then did Yu Erye realize that daughters could also receive love and care from their parents.
In this family atmosphere, Yu Erye's concept gradually changed, and he felt that his younger sister was the most precious person in the family.
However, he treats his younger sister like a treasure, but people in his hometown probably don't think so.
When Yu Erye thought that after his younger sister returned, her family would still treat her the same way as before, calling her a money-loser, making her do all kinds of rough work, working from morning to night and not having anything delicious to eat, he couldn't accept it!
Yu Erye said:
"Xiao Ye, I won't let grandma beat you or scold you. No one can bully you!"
"Yeah!" Yu Xiaoye was very satisfied and continued, "Also, we can't tell them. Mom and Dad don't remember anything about the past, including the time when our family was separated. We can't tell them either."
"Okay, I won't tell you—"
Yu Xiaoye gave many detailed instructions, and Yu Erye kept them all in mind.
After careful instructions, Yu Xiaoye finally felt relieved.
The last train stopped at the train station in their hometown.
The person in charge of the pick-up this time was also Zhou Ziheng's old comrade-in-arms. He was in the same regiment with Zhou Ziheng and served as battalion commander together. Now he has retired and come to their hometown to serve as the head of the armed forces department.
When the minister received a long-distance call from Zhou Ziheng and learned that he was asked to help receive someone, he immediately agreed without saying a word and made the arrangements very attentively. He drove himself and arrived at the station in advance to wait for someone.
The minister guessed that the person Zhou Ziheng asked him to receive must have a special relationship with Zhou Ziheng, because he had known Zhou Ziheng for so many years and had never seen Zhou Ziheng ask others to do any private matters, not even once.
This is the first time ever.
Moreover, he knew that Zhou Ziheng had a strong family background and had no way to curry favor with him. Now that he took the initiative to ask him for help, how could he not do his best?
So after picking them up, I drove all the way to take the brother and sister home.
-----
My hometown is Yujiacun Brigade, Shimen Commune.
The main hall of Old Lady Wu’s house.
"Aunt, I heard that Jiahui went to the Northeast and sent you money every month. He sent you ten yuan a month, which is about thirty yuan in total. Can you take out some money and return it to Shunzi's family? His child fell into the sweet potato cellar the other day. The cellar was more than two meters deep and the child was injured. They found someone to see him, and they said that his hip was broken and he had to be hospitalized in the county for treatment, but their family has no money. You see, when Jiahui went to the Northeast, Shunzi lent him five yuan for travel expenses. Can you return the money to him first? The child is waiting for hospitalization and treatment."
The person who was speaking was Yu Youcai, the leader of the Yujia Village Production Team. He was about fifty or sixty years old. He was sitting on a stool by the door with an old dry tobacco in his hand and a weathered look on his face.
Behind him stood a young wife in her twenties, holding a little boy about one year old. The mother and son were Shunzi's wife and son.
The child kept crying in his mother's arms, and Shunzi's wife also wiped her tears.
The crying of the mother and son made the team leader Yu Youcai feel very uncomfortable.
However, Old Mrs. Wu, who was sitting opposite them, remained indifferent.
Old Mrs. Wu was sitting there with a worn winnowing basket on her legs. The basket was filled with sorghum rice, and she was picking up weeds and stones from it.
Then I heard Old Lady Wu holding the dustpan, sighing and crying poorly:
"Oh, Captain, my nephew, our family doesn't have any money. Jiahui did send money from Northeast China a few times, and I can't hide it even if I want to. But, it was all spent a long time ago. I really don't have any money."
