When Han Dejiang was making love with Widow Liu last night, she heard her say that she had a bad taste in her mouth for the past two days and wanted to eat mushroom sauce, so she asked him to go find some mushrooms when he had time.
But how could a grown man like me go around looking for that stuff? So I thought of Daniu and Xinghua and planned to ask them to get some.
Daniu asked his sister to take the wild vegetables to the kitchen. He didn't even call his father, and said expressionlessly, "We didn't find any mushrooms. We have no food at home, so we can only eat wild vegetables."
When Han Dejiang heard his eldest son say that they had no food, he, as a father, did not feel ashamed. Instead, he said sternly, "Go to the river at the foot of the mountain. The soil there is moist and mushrooms grow best there."
Daniel gritted his teeth but did not refute and nodded silently.
I'll agree to it now, but whether I can find it is another matter.
He is no longer the stubborn boy he was a few years ago, who would never give in even if he was beaten.
That would make me feel better, but it would also cause my mother and sister to get beaten as well.
So he would never be as stupid as before. Even for the sake of his mother and siblings, he had to endure it for the time being.
Besides, he had the things given by Uncle Zhenyu hidden in his arms. If this man took action now, those things would definitely fall out, and then the beast would not give up.
Han Dejiang felt relieved to see that he agreed. In addition, Widow Liu had served him well last night, so he now crossed his legs, hummed a little tune, and smiled, a rare moment.
He squinted his eyes and said to his eldest son, "Go see if your mother has prepared the meal. She has to go to work right away and hasn't even had her meal yet. I don't know what she does all day long."
Da Niu lowered his head, gritted his teeth, said "hmm", and went to the kitchen.
Wang Shulian was serving rice. Seeing her eldest son coming in, she smiled faintly and said, "Hurry up and change your shoes. We'll have dinner soon."
Da Niu nodded, exchanged a glance with his sister, and the two went back to their room.
They wanted to hide the things given by Uncle Zhenyu and Aunt, and when the man went to find Widow Liu at night, they would secretly take them out and feed them to their mother and brother.
………
When Han Zhenyu passed by the Youth League Home, he happened to meet Xiang Guoqiang who was coming back from fetching water.
Because the two of them were not very familiar with each other, Han Zhenyu did not prepare to say hello, but just smiled and nodded.
Just as he was about to ride over, Xiang Guoqiang stopped him.
"Comrade Han, I have something to ask you. Can I spare you a few minutes?"
Han Zhenyu guessed that he should ask about the adobe house, and stopped with a smile, "Xiang Zhiqing, what can I ask?"
"It's like this, Comrade Han..." He told the story of the adobe house, then smiled and said:
"The captain said that you repaired the house, so he asked me to come and ask you if you can give me the adobe house if your family doesn't need it. I can compensate you with the money for repairing the house."
Han Zhenyu heard that he was very polite and the plan he proposed was very reasonable. He looked at him calmly and then said with a smile.
"We didn't use that house, and it didn't cost much to fix it up. My brothers and I helped with it. If you want to live here, just clean it up and move in. Don't talk about money. We'll be neighbors from now on. It's weird for you to say these things."
His words were very nice and he made his meaning clear. Although he didn't spend any money to repair the house, he did it as a favor.
Xiang Guoqiang was very happy to hear that he was willing to give up the house, and hurriedly thanked him, "Comrade Han, thank you so much, you have solved my urgent need."
Han Zhenyu smiled cheerfully, "They are all small matters."
He looked at his watch and said, "Xiang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. If you need any help in the future, just let me know."
"Okay, okay, take care." Xiang Guoqiang didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
They have been working in the countryside for some time and have had a lot of dealings with the villagers.
Although everyone usually talks and laughs, they will not give in when interests are involved.
If this happened to someone else in the village, it certainly wouldn't be so smooth, and they would probably have to pay a few dollars to settle it.
Unexpectedly, Han Zhenyu did not take advantage of the situation, but let them stay there for free. I think he is a really good person.
But Xiang Guoqiang is also a grateful person. Since Han Zhenyu said he doesn't want money, it would be bad to force him to give it.
I thought of keeping the favor in my heart and repaying it when I have the chance.
………
It was already seven forty when Han Zhenyu arrived at Dujiatun.
Because it was almost time to go to work, he briefly told Grandpa Du and the others about the temporary workers.
"Grandpa, this temporary position pays 120 yuan. If you don't make mistakes, you can become a regular employee after one year. Who can you let go? I'll come back after get off work tonight."
Grandpa Du's family was stunned that their grandson actually got a worker quota.
This big surprise almost knocked the whole family out.
Uncle Du was the first to react, "Zhenyu, let your wife go. If there's no one to take care of the two children, leave them here and let your grandmother take care of them. You two can both go to work, and then you can get a house in the city."
Uncle Du was thinking that his second sister passed away early, and his nephew had been alone outside for several years.
Now that he has finally obtained a city hukou, if he can get his wife to work in the factory, then they, the elders, will also have an idea.
"Yes, yes, let your wife go. She doesn't have a job yet." Grandpa Du also remembered this. His grandson's wife doesn't have a job yet, so even if there is a vacancy, she will be given priority.
Grandma Du and Aunt Du also quickly expressed their opinions and both said that Su Xieqiu should go.
Han Zhenyu didn't tell Su Xieqiu that he didn't want to go to work. He took all the responsibility on himself and explained to them with a smile.
