Sheng Yanjun left the courtyard and hummed a little tune all the way back to the village. After finding this lucrative job, even the villagers' stares at him were not so glaring. This morning, Sheng Yanjun just told Aunt Xiumei that he had to go to the town for something, but he didn't say what for. Aunt Xiumei didn't work hard this morning.
It was abnormal that he suddenly drank so much yesterday. Today he went to the town again and I don’t know what he is going to do. A few days ago, Huiping called him but he didn’t respond. This time he went there on his own initiative.
Aunt Xiumei was working in the fields. She saw Sheng Yanjun coming back from the village entrance. He seemed to be in a good mood. She felt relieved and gave the tools to her old man. She packed up and went home.
"Where are you going?" Uncle Sheng looked at the tools in his hand, then at his wife who was running away. He couldn't stop her even if he shouted.
"You work first, and come back early for lunch," Aunt Xiumei shouted without turning her head, and ran towards Sheng Yanjun.
The captain on the side looked at Aunt Xiumei like this and stood in front of Uncle Sheng and asked, "Where is your wife doing? Isn't it your daughter-in-law who cooks for you at home?"
"Who knows? He didn't say anything, just left the things here and ran away." Uncle Sheng also looked puzzled. They were just at a corner, so Uncle Sheng didn't see Sheng Yanjun coming back.
"Hey, that's your eldest son, right?" the captain said, pointing at two figures not far away.
Uncle Sheng looked around, squinting his eyes and carefully watching. After confirming that it was the man, he ignored him and put away the tools in his hands.
"What's with that expression on your face?" The captain saw that Uncle Sheng had a strange expression and gossiped.
"What kind of expression can I have? Go to work, if you have something to do, just do it." Uncle Sheng was too bothered and started to chase people away. What kind of expression can he have... How can their family affairs be a secret in the village?
"No, it's almost noon, what can I do? If you have something to say, let's talk." The captain smiled and refused to leave. He knew the gossip in the village, but he didn't know what the Sheng family was thinking.
Although he was not one to gossip about others, he was also curious! With a son and daughter-in-law like that, why did the family still want to stay in the village to guard this small piece of land? They couldn't understand.
"What are you talking about? There's not enough talk in the village." Uncle Sheng didn't want to work anymore, so he packed up his tools and prepared to go back. The team leader followed closely beside him.
"Chuanzi didn't ask you to live in Shanghai. That kid is capable, he should be living well there."
"Whether it's good or bad, it's the children's life. Our whole family can go with them. Besides, Chuanzi and Nanqiao are still in school. We can still farm and earn some money here. What can we do in the city? Food and accommodation will be a problem." Uncle Sheng thought differently from Aunt Xiumei. Aunt Xiumei was more concerned about Sheng Yanjun's mood, but Uncle Sheng didn't want to go to Shanghai and rely on Sheng Yanchuan for everything.
"How is that the same? Speaking of which, you two grandchildren haven't seen each other for many years, right? Don't you miss them?"
"Of course I do. How could I not? Xiumei called the town a few days ago and said she was coming back for the National Day holiday. She has been preparing pickled vegetables and frozen meat these days."
"That's great. Taohua National Day is also a holiday. Now that you're back, your family will be reunited," the captain said, clapping his hands excitedly.
"Well, let's hope so." He was happy, but thinking about the state of his two sons in recent years, Uncle Sheng was also worried. He didn't know what happened. How could he become like this?
"I think your eldest son is just being too stubborn. Why don't you and your wife talk to him? They are all brothers. Who cares if they are better or worse? Why do they have such a big conflict over these things?" The captain also knew what he was worried about and tried to comfort him.
"Hey, we can't even mention it at home now. If you say something wrong, your face won't be a face and your nose won't be a nose." Uncle Sheng felt a headache just thinking about it
"How can that be possible? As a father, do you have to look at your son's mood?"
The captain paused after saying this, thinking about how to ask this question, "By the way, your second son doesn't look down on the eldest brother's family because he has done well, right?"
"No, it's the same as it should be. I called before and asked everyone in the family to go to Shanghai and he would arrange a job for them, but he refused." Uncle Sheng felt that Sheng Yanjun was just jealous and it had nothing to do with Sheng Yanchuan. After all, you can't just do nothing for someone just to be on par with you because you're jealous, right?
"That's all, the root of this matter lies with Sheng Yanjun, let's have a good chat, don't let the second son and his wife feel disappointed because of the eldest son." The captain said half of the words and kept the other half in his heart. In fact, the captain thought the same as the villagers. Although he was living with the eldest son of the Sheng family at present, and it was agreed that the eldest son and his wife would take care of him in his old age, but judging from the current gap between Sheng Yanchuan and Sheng Yanjun, he would probably have to rely more on Sheng Yanjun.
Uncle Sheng walked home in silence, and did not respond to the captain's question.
When I got home, I saw Xiumei chasing after Sheng Yanjun. I didn't know what they were talking about. One of them was smiling and silent, while the other one was chasing after him with a stern face.
"What are you doing? You don't want to go to work and just sit there and do nothing." Uncle Sheng was a little annoyed by what the captain said. He came back and saw the two of them not knowing what they were doing. He immediately became angry.
Aunt Xiumei glanced at him and had no intention of paying attention to him, but seeing that Uncle Sheng was in a bad mood, Aunt Xiumei explained, "Junzi said he found a job in town, but he wouldn't tell me what he did."
"Have you found a job?" Uncle Sheng looked at Sheng Yanjun in surprise.
"Well, I found it. It's a job that involves shipping goods back and forth to earn the difference. I'll go with you the day after tomorrow to test the waters first." Uncle Sheng is the head of the family after all. Even if Sheng Yanjun is in a bad mood, he can't ignore his father.
