triple
Yu Yao quite enjoyed watching the excitement, so she quickened her pace unconsciously.
Seeing her like this, Gu Qing couldn't help but laugh. If she liked to watch the hustle and bustle, then Yu Yao's days in the family compound would be quite interesting. This place had no shortage of hustle and bustle.
He took bigger steps and caught up with Yu Yao. Unexpectedly, he heard Gu Qing's name as he approached them.
"Why are you being so arrogant in front of me? If you have the guts, go and be arrogant in front of Gu Qing. Look at how he treats his wife. How do you treat your wife?"
"Ye Yuan, you are still a group leader, your rank is not lower than Gu Qing, but you are not as successful as him. How dare you yell at me? Who gave you the face?"
Hearing this sharp voice, Yu Yao recognized it. Wasn't this Mrs. Fang who had caused trouble in front of her door yesterday?
How can such words be shouted out like this?
Yu Yao looked at Gu Qing beside her in shock. Perhaps there was a tacit understanding between the two of them, but Gu Qing quickly understood what she meant and said, "If it weren't for Sister Fang, maybe Captain Ye would have held more than this position."
Captain Ye seems to be about the same age as Captain Cao. It is estimated that he will have to retire if he cannot be promoted.
"So what if you glare at me? If you have the guts, hit me. Ye Yuan, don't forget who you relied on to get to where you are today, you freeloader."
As soon as these words came out, there was a crisp sound and silence all around.
After a while, sharp screams echoed throughout the courtyard.
"Ye Yuan, you dare to hit me!"
"I'll hit you if I want to. I should have hit you earlier with your mouth! Fang Dongmei, you just want to say that it's your father's relationship that has brought me to where I am today. Then let's get divorced. As long as you are here, I will be a joke as the leader! The thing I, Ye Yuan, regret most in my life is that I married a crazy woman like you!"
Most men don't lose their temper easily most of the time, but when they do, they can be very scary, not to mention that he just hit someone and now no one dares to step forward to comfort him.
It seemed that Fang Dongmei had never suffered such an injustice. She got up from the ground and started to pinch Ye Yuan's face. Ye Yuan was not paying attention and was hit on the face with a long bloody mark.
Ye Yuan was obviously furious, his face was abnormally red, and he pushed the man to the ground with great force.
"Ye Yuan, what are you doing?"
A strong male voice came over. Next to him was Director Lin who had spoken for her in the car that day. It seemed that the person who spoke was Political Commissar Ding.
Gu Qing looked at the little girl who was trying to squeeze forward with a gossipy look on her face, and held her back helplessly.
Only after her hand was held did Yu Yao react. She blushed in embarrassment. She couldn't help herself when she heard there was a story behind this.
In the end, she didn't squeeze in, but stood at the back with Gu Qing, watching the farce in front of them.
Director Lin went over and helped Mrs. Fang up. He looked at Ye Yuan with some disapproval but didn't say much.
With so many people gathered around, the matter definitely couldn't be handled right here. Political Commissar Ding glanced at the crowd and said, "Everyone go away. What's there to see? Old Ye, come in and talk."
As they talked, the two of them entered the house. Director Lin also followed with Mrs. Fang, who was still in a daze. After walking a few steps, she turned around and saw Ye Xiuxiu who was still in a daze. She sighed and said, "Xiuxiu, what are you doing standing there like an idiot? Come in."
Such a lively event ended in such an anticlimactic way.
Yu Yao knew it wasn't over yet, but they were isolated from each other, which she felt was a pity.
Apparently she was not the only one who felt sorry. Some people were standing outside the gate of other people's houses, reluctant to leave, and were even looking into the houses. But what could they see inside?
"It seems we have to go to Political Commissar Ding's house later. Let's go find Doctor Li first."
Gu Qing spoke with amusement, and seeing that no one noticed, he said, "I'll go get some information tomorrow and come back to tell you what's going on. But I think this matter may have something to do with me."
One of the important reasons why Yu Yao wanted to eat this melon was because they mentioned Gu Qing just now, "Is it because of the house?"
"Probably." Gu Qing then started talking about the grievances between him and the Ye couple.
In fact, there was no conflict between Ye Yuan and Gu Qing. Instead, there was some conflict between Ye Yuan and Gu Qing's previous leader Shen Yue. In fact, it was probably just some chemical reaction caused by the senior and the junior reaching the same position.
Perhaps he disliked Gu Qing because Gu Qing was Shen Yue's subordinate.
The reason for this was that when the yard was first divided, Fang Dongmei's father informed the leader that she should be allowed to choose the house first. Cao Lu agreed verbally, but later when he heard that Gu Qing was going to get married, he immediately let Gu Qing choose first.
Originally, they were thinking about just one yard, and Ye Yuan's family already had a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment in another building. If it weren't for Fang Dongmei's father, they would never have been able to move to the newly built yard here.
As a result, not only did they want to change, they also chose the one chosen by Gu Qing.
To be honest, the yard they live in now is not that good except for the yard at the gate, which is a bit bigger. Even the rooms are smaller.
But I don't know if she has to compete with Gu Qing. Fang Dongmei wants the courtyard chosen by Gu Qing. When she failed to get what she wanted from Gu Qing, she went to the political commissar and Cao Lu to make trouble. In the end, even her father thought that the house issue was not a big deal, but she was still not reconciled. When all her methods failed, she spoke ill of Gu Qing and Yu Yao everywhere. Political Commissar Ding really had no way to deal with their family.
Yu Yao was shocked, "What does this have to do with me?" She was really making trouble for herself!
Gu Qing also smiled helplessly, "Some people are just so unreasonable. Ye Yuan didn't say anything, but she insisted on making trouble. Maybe because she didn't get transferred to our courtyard, she took it out on Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan must have been fed up with her."
"Is Fang Dongmei's father very powerful?" Being so arrogant in the army, isn't that discrediting her father?
Gu Qing curled his lips and said, "Actually, no, it's because her grandfather is an old leader. But I guess these things are kept secret from the old man. Cao Lu is so tolerant of them because of the old man's face."
However, no matter how prestigious the old man is, he can't break the rules of the army. That's why Ye Yuan's promotion in recent years has not been smooth. Logically speaking, with his ability, he should be able to move up one level.
The more Yu Yao listened, the more curious she became. "What did Fang Dongmei mean when she said Ye Yuan was relying on her family? Is that what she meant?"
"That's what she meant, but it's not true."
Gu Qing would never tell these things to anyone normally, but since Yu Yao wanted to hear it, he was naturally willing to say a few more words.
It turns out that Ye Yuan was also a leader in the army and many girls liked him. In the end, he chose Fang Dongmei, who had a good background. Fang Dongmei looked average and had no formal job. Her only advantage was that she had a grandfather who had made countless contributions.
Everyone thought that Ye Yuan chose Fang Dongmei for the power of their family. Even Fang Dongmei thought so. That's why she bossed Ye Yuan around at home and always looked down on him when she went out, acting condescending.
However, what was initially thought to be a perfect marriage eventually turned out to be what it is today. Many people said that this was the retribution for Ye Yuan's tendency to curry favor with the powerful.
"From what you said, you don't think so?" Yu Yao heard regret in Gu Qing's words, and there was also regret in his tone when he mentioned Ye Yuan just now.
Gu Qing did not hide his thoughts. "Yes, I don't think Ye Tuan is that kind of person. With his ability, he can rise to a high position by himself. And I think he has feelings for Fang Dongmei, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so many years for them to show up. You know, it's not the first time that his future has been affected by Fang Dongmei's affairs."
"Otherwise, why did the Fang family never teach Ye Tuan a lesson? Because they were at fault."
What he said made sense, but Yu Yao still had reservations about whether there were any feelings or not. If there were real feelings, he would not have been able to slap her just now.
Or maybe there was real love between them once, but it disappeared completely due to repeated disagreements, and the couple became a couple of enemies. I guess that's what it means.
"And Ye Tuan's daughter was also taught..." Gu Qing showed a rare expression of being speechless.
Yu Yao understood what he meant, but didn't know how to comment, so she could only say, "Maybe this is just meeting the wrong person, or it's just not suitable. If I were Ye Tuan, I would have chosen to break up a long time ago."
She knew that it was easy for her to say that. After being married for many years, the bond between the two people became deeper and deeper, and it was not something that could be separated just by saying so. So Yu Yao felt that marriage was a gamble, and insisting on two points might lead to a slightly better result.
The first is to keep your eyes open, and the second is to stop losses in time.
"Hey, where are you two going?"
Yu Yao was lost in thought when a person suddenly jumped out in front of her, scaring her.
"Li Ziyu, as a doctor, can you be more steady?" Gu Qing was so familiar with the other party that Yu Yao guessed his identity almost instantly. This must be the Doctor Li that Gu Qing was talking about.
I didn't expect that Doctor Li was so young. He looked even younger than Gu Qing. He had a baby face and his smile was full of youthfulness.
"Was there a quarrel over there just now? Where did you come from? Why didn't you ask me to join you? Oh, I missed a good show."
Seeing him so lively, Yu Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Gu Qing took out a lunch box from his hand and stuffed it into the other party's hand, "This is made by Ah Yao, you can watch the show by yourself, we are leaving first."
"Eh?" Li Ziyu took the lunch box in surprise and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Gu Qing rolled his eyes at him fiercely, "This is your sister-in-law!"
Yu Yao couldn't help laughing and said, "Thank you, Doctor Li, for helping my second brother find medicine. This is mugwort cake. I don't know if you are used to eating it. You can go back and steam it, or slice it and fry it."
"Hey, isn't it still hot? It won't live that long." After saying that, he peeled off the leaves and started eating in front of the two people.
Because he still had to be on duty, Yu Yao and his friend made an appointment with him to go into the mountains together and head towards Cao Lu's house next week.
When Cao Lu saw Yu Yao, all the wrinkles on his face showed smile.
I got the mugwort cakes given by Yu Yao and ate two of them out of courtesy. However, Aunt Zheng who had just returned saw it and confiscated it from her.
Only then did Yu Yao realize that Cao Lu, as a leader, actually loved eating all kinds of snacks.
Yesterday, Aunt Zheng gave him face and did not tell anyone about this matter. She did not expect that he would be so reckless today.
"Ah Yao, you're here, but don't get used to him like a child."
Cao Lu was not annoyed by being humiliated, he just smiled. You can imagine how happy he was in his heart about Yu Yao's arrival.
"Alright, alright, go make something delicious. I want to keep them for dinner tonight."
"No need." Yu Yao waved her hands. "We just steamed mugwort cakes. We ate them before coming here. Auntie, don't bother."
In fact, Yu Yao didn't plan to stay in Cao Lu for too long.
Given Cao Lu's identity, it would not be appropriate for her and Gu Qing to come here often. Yu Yao was not actually very worried about others talking about her, as she would give them a taste of their own medicine, but she was also worried that Gu Qing would be affected because of her.
Cao Lu naturally didn't know that the reason he missed the delicious food was because the couple were worried about each other, so he welcomed them both into the study.
"Have you thought about it?"
Yu Yao nodded, "I agree to your request. In addition to the conditions we agreed on yesterday, I have one more small request."
Cao Lu said indifferently: "Tell me about it."
He was not afraid of her thinking or making requests, but was afraid that she would agree or refuse impulsively.
"I also want a prestigious job that doesn't require me to be paid, but I hope to be given the opportunity to go up the mountain to collect herbs. Brigade Commander Cao also knows that my second brother is in poor health, so he needs a lot of herbs. If we don't need them, I can take the initiative to provide them to the health center."
Gu Qing at the side couldn't help but twitch his lips. This girl's obsession with Dashan was even deeper than he thought.
Cao Lu was also very surprised after hearing her words, and subconsciously looked at Gu Qing. He remembered the worry in this boy's eyes when he first suggested letting Yu Yao join the team. So he was willing to let her go into the mountains by herself?
The two men looked at each other. Gu Qing did not react, which aroused Cao Lu's interest. He did not expect that this guy was also afraid of his wife.
When he looked at Yu Yao again, his tone was more serious than before.
"You mean you want me to arrange a job for you as a herbalist at the health center? So you can go up the mountain to collect herbs anytime you want?"
It sounded a bit unreliable, Yu Yao was a little embarrassed, and asked: "Is it not possible?" In fact, she was just testing Cao Lu's attitude, and wanted to find a reason to go up the mountain in the future. She didn't want to run up the mountain every day.
"First of all, we are in the deep mountains and forests, and we may encounter unpredictable dangers. I know you may be capable and may be able to fight wild boars, but what if you encounter poisonous insects, rats, ants, or rainstorms and mountain torrents? However, if you only go into the mountains occasionally, I can approve it."
Cao Lu spoke in a gentle tone. They usually give special treatment to special talents. Who makes these special talents have more personality? Many of them are like the group of old men in the research institute. They have strange tempers and need to be coaxed and deceived.
"Or, are you interested in medicine? You can go to the health center to be Li Ziyu's assistant and let him take you. Then when you go to collect herbs, you will have a legitimate reason. Do you think this is okay?"
Yes, that’s great!
Yu Yao didn't think of such a perfect solution at first. Although she was not very interested in medicine, some medical knowledge was good. Nowadays, many barefoot doctors in the countryside can gain a foothold in the countryside just by reading a medical book. It can only be said that more skills are better.
Moreover, Gu Qing said that the clinic only treated headaches and fevers of the people in the family home, and children's stomach upsets and the like, and it was usually very quiet, so she still had time to do what she wanted to do before.
But she did not rush to agree. Instead, she looked at Gu Qing standing beside her, asking for his opinion with her eyes.
Gu Qing was almost laughing because of her anger, and now she remembered to ask for his opinion?
Cao Lu has agreed, how can he object?
"Just do what you want."
Gu Qing knew that the reason why this girl chose to be with him was more because of the help he provided to her family. It was not financial help, but just the right help.
Although he was helpless, he could see that the little girl treated him as her own.
At least I know most of her secrets.
Moreover, Gu Qing guessed that Yu Yao might have other secrets of her own, otherwise she would not want to go into the mountains alone. Wouldn't it be nice to have a companion?
However, Gu Qing felt more relieved that she had a secret, which meant that her safety was more guaranteed. He still said as before that as long as she did not do anything that would harm the country and the people, he would support her. And he believed that as long as the girl understood him well enough, she would definitely let down her guard against him.
Hearing his words, Yu Yao felt very relieved. She didn't mean to avoid discussing it with Gu Qing. She just did it on impulse. She also wanted to know how likely it was that she would go into the mountains alone. If she told Gu Qing directly, he would definitely object at the first moment. Yu Yao could understand because he was worried about her, but she had already lived a new life, and Yu Yao didn't want to let herself down. She wanted to do what she liked.
She wanted to go to the mountains not only because she could hunt, pick wild vegetables and collect herbs, but also because she liked the feeling of walking alone in the mountains and the feeling of making food with different ingredients. Besides, she could hunt to improve her diet, so why not?
Yu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, let's arrange it this way."
Afterwards, they discussed arranging a job for Yu Sheng and his enlistment quota, and talked about the details, and the matter was finalized.
Regarding Yu Sheng, Yu Yao applied for a job as a military propagandist for him. Due to his physical condition, he could be assigned some writing jobs or even work from home. However, Yu Yao refused. She wanted her second brother to get out in the world, and being too special might lead to gossip. She didn't want to affect her second brother's mood.
As for the quota for joining the army, she decided to let Xu Ying come, of course, if Xu Ying was willing.
Yu Yao was not in a hurry to start work. Brigade Cao gave her a month to rest and arrange all her matters. She could report in mid-October. Yu Yao was certainly not in a hurry about this.
After everything was settled, the two said goodbye and prepared to visit Political Commissar Ding's home.
After hearing what they said, Cao Lu had no choice but to let them go.
However, they were destined not to be able to send anything to the two of them today, as Political Commissar Ding and his wife were still worried about Ye Yuan and his wife.
Helpless, the two could only go back.
"Gu Qing, please don't be angry with me, okay?" As they were almost home, Yu Yao suddenly spoke, leaving Gu Qing stunned.
Why did he hear a hint of coquettishness in the little girl's tone? Could it be that he was suffering from hysteria?
Although he guessed what Yu Yao might be talking about, Gu Qing still pretended not to know and asked, "I am angry with you. Why should I be angry with you?"
Yu Yao stared at him, unable to tell whether he really didn't know or was pretending not to know, but she felt that Gu Qing was not that stupid, or she knew that her behavior just now was inappropriate, so she said directly: "No matter what I do in the future, I will discuss it with you first."
After saying that, she said a little stubbornly: "We haven't gotten married yet."
Girls will always subconsciously show weakness in front of a man who treats them well, and Yu Yao feels that she is no exception. In fact, she felt a little regretful after saying this. She has lived for two lifetimes, why is she still like this? Can't she be more mature?
However, she didn't know that no matter how mature a woman is, she still longs to be loved.
If you haven't met each other, it's fine. But if you do, you will give your heart to each other, and of course you will also hope to get the same in return.
"Then let's get married." Gu Qing didn't want to wait any longer.
They have already applied for a house and got their marriage report approved, but when will this girl truly accept him?
I thought Yu Yao might hesitate or even reject me, but she nodded affirmatively and said, "Okay, let's get married."
"I'm going to call my mom and her family tomorrow, and talk to Xu Ying about joining the army. We'll get married when she comes."
Gu Qing was overwhelmed by this sudden surprise.
He had not been with Yu Yao for a long time, but he seemed to have many images of this girl in his mind.
Even he couldn't explain why he had feelings for Yu Yao. Was it because of her bravery in fighting the wild boar, or because of the cute look she had when she knocked her head against the seat in frustration on the bus, or because of her calm attitude when it came to feelings?
Gu Qing only felt that every one of her in his mind was in line with his own wishes. He had previously remained rational and investigated Yu Yao, fearing that she might be a spy sent by the enemy.
After finding out the truth, he really fell for her wholeheartedly and wanted to marry her.
"Okay, call my parents tomorrow, too."
This brought Yu Yao back to reality. She actually forgot such an important thing. They had been talking about marriage for such a long time, but she had never greeted him once. This would be considered impolite in any era.
Others told her that she didn't care, but the other person was Gu Qing's family.
"I haven't said hello to my uncle, aunt and younger sister for such a long time. They won't blame me, right?" She asked after thinking so. If his family didn't like her, she would have to find a way to make the old people happy before getting married, otherwise it would be too rude.
"It's okay. They all like you very much. Besides, Grandpa has already chosen you. They really trust your judgment."
His mother's original words: "You, hurry up and get married. I don't care about the other party's family background or appearance. As long as you marry the other party, I will provide for you. There will be no such thing as torturing the daughter-in-law in our family."
Yu Yao laughed and said in a low voice: "Then I will go to your house and be the Buddha."
Gu Qing felt itchy because of her behavior. He always wanted to do something with his hands, but he could not do anything. He could only touch Yu Yao's head like he was touching a small animal.
This action is nothing special, but it makes Yu Yao blush every time.
These two people are so innocent, what will happen to them in the future?
-
The next day.
Inside Wanyuan County Steel Plant.
Anyone passing by Zhao Tian's office could hear the faint sobbing coming from inside.
"What's going on?" someone asked.
"It seems that she is Yu Ping's sister. I guess she was bullied."
In the office, Xu Ying cried for a long time before finally stopping her tears.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yu Ping, Sister Tian Tian, I know I shouldn't have troubled you, but my brother told me to go out and hide, and I really can't find a place to go." After saying that, she sobbed twice before asking, "My brother...my brother, he won't be in trouble, right?"
It is true that Xu Ying did not want to trouble Yu Ping and his wife this time, but it is also true that she wanted to ask them for help. She really has no other choice. Apart from Yu Ping, she does not know anyone who can help her and her brother.
The news that Yu Yao had married into the city was widely spread in the village. Many people said that the Yu family had completely bid farewell to the village and became city dwellers, eating commercial food.
Later we learned that the Yu family had even sold their house, and these rumors became even more exaggerated.
Where there are those who envy and bless, there are naturally those who are jealous and resentful. Her parents are the kind of people who say sour words every day.
If it was just sour words, that would be fine. She has become numb to them since she was a child.
But when they saw that the Yu family had such good fortune, they also wanted to live out their dreams. They went around asking for families who offered high bride prices, and they started by asking for a bride price of 500 yuan. They wanted to prove that the Xu family was no worse than the Yu family. Of course, they also coveted the money.
At first, Xu Ying and her brother did not take this matter seriously. After all, only a fool would pay 500 yuan as a betrothal gift to marry a country girl.
However, what they didn't expect was that the couple not only found it, but also found a fool.
The other party is the son of the captain of the county transport team. The father and son depend on each other. It is said that after she gets married, there will be no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or between sisters-in-law, and she only needs to take good care of the father and son.
In recent years, many girls have married the father and son for the high bride price, but several girls have run away or gone crazy. I heard that the father and son bullied the girls together. In the past two years, no one is willing to marry their daughter to such a family. Even the family that values boys over girls will not do so for the sake of face.
But the Xu couple were such inhumane people that they insisted on pushing Xu Ying into the fire pit. If her brother had not worked in the supply and marketing cooperative and was able to find out about the situation in the county, she would have really believed her parents' lies and married them.
Xu Ying didn't know why her parents were so cruel to her, especially her mother. Wasn't she a woman as well? How could she be so intolerant of her own daughter?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Worried about the impact on Yu Ping and his wife, Xu Ying could only shed tears.
Especially when she thought about the hateful father and son who were going to the village to propose marriage today, Xu Ying no longer had any hope for her parents. She was only worried that the father and son would hurt her eldest brother.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. I've asked my dad to find someone to take care of his brother. He won't get hurt." Zhao Tian knew that this girl was Yu Yao's good friend and couldn't help but care about her.
Moreover, what kind of crappy parents dare to do such a thing to their daughter? It is really despicable.
Yu Ping is calmer than Zhao Tian. He is considering Xu Ying's future. He believes that as long as Xu Ying stays in that family, the Xu couple will not give up the idea of gaining benefits from Xu Ying.
He had lived in the countryside for many years, so he naturally knew what kind of people the Xu couple were.
"Do you have any plans of your own? We can help you once or twice, but we are afraid that there will always be times when we are not in time." Yu Ping said.
Hearing this, Xu Ying couldn't help but shudder. Is this her fate?
She wants to escape, but can she?
"Or we can introduce you to someone." Zhao Tian didn't say anything else. She knew the young people in the steel plant better. She couldn't say who would be the best person to introduce to her, but at least she would be better than the one his parents mentioned.
Xu Ying's eyes lit up, but then he lowered his eyes again.
"No, that will definitely affect others. My parents will definitely not agree, and they will definitely come to make trouble." Unless the person they introduce to her is more vicious than those two people.
Hearing that she was still considerate of others at this time, Zhao Tian had a better impression of her.
"You don't have to worry too much. Your parents can only make trouble in the countryside. If they make trouble in the city, we can just ask the police to take them away."
That being said, Zhao Tian was already selecting the people in the factory who were not easy to deal with in her heart.
Just then, the phone on her desk rang.
There were only a few telephones in the entire factory, and the number of incoming calls was usually pitifully small. Zhao Tian was worried that there was something urgent, so he did not dare to delay and quickly answered the phone.
"Hello, Wanyuan County Steel Plant, who are you looking for?"
"Is that you, sister-in-law? I'm Yu Yao."
When Yu Yao heard Zhao Tian's voice, she inexplicably felt like crying, as if she had been away from home for a long time.
Even though she has only met her sister-in-law a few times, she already treats her as her closest person. This is probably the result of treating each other sincerely.
"Ayao, what's wrong with you?" Even Zhao Tian didn't notice the relief she felt when she heard Yu Yao's voice.
She was willing to help Xu Ying but she didn't want to persuade her, as she thought it was a way to repay kindness with grudges. If she didn't help well, she might be blamed by others.
She saw that although Yu Yao was young, she was a person with her own ideas. So when she heard that Yu Yao was going to get married, she first congratulated her, and then immediately and briefly told Yu Yao about Xu Ying.
Firstly, the situation was indeed urgent, and secondly, telephone bills these days were not something that most people could afford. She had this in mind, but she couldn't waste it casually.
"Is she still with you?" In fact, Yu Yao had thought about this day a long time ago, but she never thought that Xu's parents would eat so badly. "Let me talk to her."
When she left, she said she would write to Xu Ying, but she didn't expect that Xu Ying would encounter such a thing before that day came.
Zhao Tian responded and looked at Xu Ying, whose eyes were still red, and said, "Come here, sister. Ah Yao wants to talk to you."
Xu Ying sniffed, walked over and picked up the phone. Even though her brother worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, this was her first time using the telephone.
"Ayao..." As soon as she opened her mouth, tears couldn't help falling.
"Xiaoying, don't cry, they didn't bully you, did they?" Yu Yao's heart couldn't help but twitch when she heard her crying voice. There were many people like Xu Ying in this era, but due to the times, she had no choice.
Fortunately, everything will be fine, and fortunately she can help Xu Ying now.
"No, my brother asked me to hide in the city, but I'm worried about my brother..." Although her brother is very powerful, those two guys look even more powerful. What if they do something to her brother?
Xu Ying even regretted running to the city. If she had hidden in the village, at least she would have known the situation at home at any time.
"It's okay. You've seen what Brother Xu has been capable of over the years. He has a wide network of contacts, so you don't have to worry. Besides, with my sister-in-law and the others' help, nothing will happen." Yu Yao didn't beat around the bush and said, "As for you, I have a vacancy for military service here right now. Do you want to join the army?"
Fortunately, Xu Ying is old enough, and after running around in the mountains in recent years, her physical condition is still acceptable. However, being a soldier is not the same as following the army, and it is not known whether she can endure the hardship.
"I..." Xu Ying suspected that she was dreaming. She pinched her thigh hard and cried out, "Can I really do this, wuwu..."
"You can do it. Although being a soldier is hard, it's better than letting others plan your life. But it's not a small matter. Why don't you come here first? At worst, you can find a job here. Are you willing?"
Although Yu Yao knew that she shouldn't be too kind, Xu Ying was her first good friend since she came to this world, and she was willing to give her trust to her. Even if something unexpected happened in the future, at least she would not feel guilty about it.
"I am willing, I am willing." Xu Ying did not think at all. She just wanted to leave this place that gave her nightmares every day as soon as possible. She never wanted to see that cruel couple again. From then on, she just regarded herself as an orphan, and her brother was the only one she was worried about.
But they are good to her brother and will not force him to do anything he doesn't like. If she stays, she will be a burden to her brother, so she wants to leave.
"Okay, then it's settled. You ask Brother Xu to get a letter of introduction, and then have him help you get your household registration transferred out. I'll wait for you here." She believed that Brother Xu had the ability to do this.
After speaking a few more words to Xu Ying, Yu Yao hung up the phone.
I had already called my grandfather and Gu's parents, and they bought some envelopes and stamps and went home.
"Did something happen?" Gu Qing asked Yu Yao.
Yu Yao simply told Gu Qing about Xu Ying, and Gu Qing didn't react much. There are too many pitiful people in this world, and there are many more pitiful people than Xu Ying, but he couldn't say such words to make Yu Yao unhappy, so he said: "Everything will be fine."
Nowadays, the number of military service quotas is quite tight, and villagers generally need to be recommended before they have the opportunity to join the army. In a situation like the Xu family, unless the children in the family are very outstanding, there is no chance of joining the army at all, let alone female soldiers.
I hope Xu Ying won’t let Yu Yao down.
Yu Yao comforted herself in the same way, but the atmosphere between the two of them was still somewhat solemn along the way.
Gu Qing stopped talking to bother her and just stayed by her side quietly.
The morning sunshine has already shone on the wall and on them. The dawn is just ahead, and there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
On the other hand, Yu Ping knew that Yu Yao was worried about Xu Ying, and he himself grew up with the eldest son of the Yu family. Even though they had not seen each other for many years, they were still friends, so he planned to go to the countryside by himself.
As soon as I walked out of the steel factory, I saw a man with a sly look at the door.
The man gave him a look and then turned into a nearby alley.
This man's name is Lao Shu, and he works under Brother Biao.
Because he once met Yu Ping when someone was looking for revenge, and Yu Ping saved him, he often helped Yu Ping find the medicinal herbs and some items that Zhao Tian needed.
But that was a matter of give and take of money and goods, and this was the first time that Yu Ping formally asked him for help, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it. As soon as there was any progress, he wanted to tell Yu Ping.
"Brother Ping, the fish is on the hook."
Yu Ping nodded and said, "Excuse me, please continue to keep an eye on it for me." Then he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the other party.
He doesn't smoke, but he always keeps a pack of cigarettes in his pocket in case of emergency.
The mouse didn't bother to be polite with him. He smiled, said thank you, and put the thing in his pocket.
"And you asked me to find someone to watch over that little girl named Cao Meimei. That woman is really restless. She followed Jiang Yugui several times. If it weren't for our people stopping her, she would have discovered us."
Yu Ping still had no expression, but glanced at the slogan "Labor is the Most Glorious" on the wall in front of him and said, "Since the fish has been hooked, let's find a good opportunity to let her see it."
"Okay, wait for my good news."
The two of them quickly left from both ends of the alley, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Yugui, the fish caught here, is now in high spirits.
He had never imagined that life as a city worker could be so carefree. The monthly salary of 28 yuan was enough for him to eat in the cafeteria every day and occasionally have a bite to eat in a state-owned hotel.
Moreover, Cao Guifang would come to the city from time to time to clean and wash clothes for him, make dumplings and stew chicken soup for him. Why did he dislike Cao Guifang so much before?
But what made Jiang Yugui proud was not only these, but also his recent adventure.
That day, Wanyuan County was hit by an unexpected rainstorm, and almost everyone who was on the street and did not go home was soaked to the bone.
Jiang Yugui was still secretly cursing his bad luck, when suddenly a woman rushed out from the corner, and they bumped into each other. The woman fell to the ground. He was about to leave, but instinct made him help the woman up.
No one would have thought too much in such a situation, but Jiang Yugui was a hot-blooded man, and his wife was not around. It rained and he saw all the delicate curves of her body. How could he not think too much? He had an indescribable dream when he got home.
It was just a fantasy at first, but who knew that he would often run into the girl after that.
Every time they met, she would give him some food, such as candy or apples, and sometimes she would even give him meat in her hand, saying that she wanted to thank him for helping her up from the ground that day so that others would not laugh at her.
But both parties knew that it was just a small favor, so why did they need so much thanks?
And in the final analysis, he touched the other person's body or he took advantage of her.
The two met again today. Seeing Qingqing’s red eyes, Jiang Yugui was almost heartbroken. How could such a good girl be bullied?
After asking, I found out that Qingqing's family wanted to introduce her to a partner. Qingqing was unwilling, but she had no way to resist.
"Brother Jiang, what do you tell me to do? I really don't want to get married." Qingqing cried bitterly. Jiang Yugui had never seen a woman who called him Brother Jiang so coquettishly before. He was suddenly at a loss, and he still didn't forget to help Qingqing think of a solution.
"Just say you've found someone."
Qingqing's tears fell, "But I don't have a partner."
"Pretend you have one. Didn't you say your family is in the city and doesn't have time to take care of you? Just say you're still investigating and will bring her back to meet them when you're sure she's suitable."
Jiang Yugui also knew that this method was just a delaying tactic, but the most important thing now was to make Qingqing happy.
"But what if they ask me what my partner does and what he looks like? What should I tell him?"
Jiang Yugui didn't think much about it at this time, but just said according to the most reasonable explanation: "Just say that he works in a textile factory, has a square face, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and looks upright and handsome."
Qingqing glanced at him shyly and said angrily, "Bah, shameless, aren't you talking about yourself?"
These words completely pleased Jiang Yugui, because Qingqing also said that he was upright and handsome.
But at this time, Qingqing said with a frustrated look: "But you are not my partner. It would be great if you were my partner."
Such a sentence completely stirred Jiang Yugui's already restless heart. He grabbed Qingqing's hand and said, "Qingqing, what did you say?"
Qingqing was shocked, as if she had said something unforgivable. She shook her head and said, "No, you heard me wrong. I didn't say anything." As she spoke, she wanted to pull her hand out of the other person's hand, but Jiang Yugui held it tightly and didn't let go at all.
Qingqing felt even more embarrassed now. She lowered her head and her face turned red.
"Qingqing, tell me I'm not dreaming. Do you want me to be your partner?"
Jiang Yugui was ecstatic in his heart, but his face still showed a look of surprise and affection. If Yu Yao was here, he would probably be so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.
However, Qingqing's tears began to fall again, "But you already have a family."
She pulled her hand out without saying anything. Her hand was pinched until it turned red, but she seemed not to notice and sobbed, "Brother Jiang, let's not meet again in the future. I'm afraid I can't control myself..."
She stared at Jiang Yugui for a few moments, hesitant to speak, and turned to leave, but Jiang Yugui grabbed her hand and pulled her to his side, then kissed her directly.
Fortunately, Qingqing pulled the man into the grove at the beginning. If someone else saw this, she would definitely be accused of having an affair.
Love at first kiss, that's what it means.
Qingqing's lips turned red from being kissed, and her little face was as red as an apple, making Jiang Yugui want to give his life to her.
"Don't say things that make me sad in the future, got it?"
Qingqing snorted coldly and turned away without paying any attention to him.
Jiang Yugui laughed, "Look at me."
"I don't."
"If you don't look at me, I'll kiss you again."
Qingqing glared at him fiercely, "You rascal, you bad guy."
Facing her accusation, Jiang Yugui was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Women don't love bad men."
Qingqing lowered her eyes and cried sadly again. The sound was like a cat's, and Jiang Yugui's heart trembled with her crying.
"Qingqing, don't cry, it's my fault."
"Wuwu... You already have a wife, what should I do?"
Jiang Yugui wiped her tears with heartache and was also very troubled. If he had to choose, he would of course choose Qingqing, who was young, beautiful, gentle, considerate and devoted to him.
But no matter how dissatisfied he was with Cao Guifang, he could not deny his relationship with Cao Guifang. They were husband and wife. Although they had not obtained a marriage certificate, they had been together for so many years. Everyone in the village knew it, and they had a child.
If he wanted a divorce, the woman would definitely make a big fuss, and no one would be in a good situation. But how could he bear to let Qingqing suffer?
Seeing him so hesitant, Qingqing snorted and walked away crying in her little leather shoes, not giving him a chance to react. When she chased him onto the street, he was nowhere to be seen.
While Yu Ping and Xu Lin were helping Xu Ying prepare the procedures, Jiang Yugui's second spring suffered a severe blow.
He met Qingqing several times in the county town, but there were always other people around Qingqing, and she didn't even look at him. The more this happened, the more anxious Jiang Yugui became.
Even when Cao Guifang brought him chicken, he was not interested.
"Now everyone in the village is saying that we deserved it, saying that we were courting death and took away our good relatives. Bah! What good relatives are the Yu family? They are sluts who relied on men to get to the top. They are nothing like you, Brother Gui. Brother Gui, you are a city dweller now."
As Cao Guifang spoke, she secretly looked at Jiang Yugui's expression and found that he was in a trance. She frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. Could something have happened?
"Brother Gui, are you having trouble at work?"
Didn’t Jiang Yugui say before that the work was easy?
He didn't say anything, which made Cao Guifang even more anxious.
"It can't be true, oh my, what should I do? If there is a problem with your job, I will take care of it. How can I become a city dweller? And Fu Bao, this job was bought at the cost of Fu Bao's life!"
Hearing her howling voice, Jiang Yugui felt upset.
He threw his chopsticks on the table and said, "What are you yelling about? Are you afraid that people outside can't hear you, you country bumpkin? You have no manners!"
Cao Guifang was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Jiang Yugui to scold her like this. What happened to her? She didn't say anything.
Besides, it’s not the first day that Jiang Yugui has known that she has a loud voice. He once said that her screams were very sexy.
Thinking of those things, Cao Guifang suppressed the feeling that was wrong.
"Don't be angry. I noticed that you were absent-minded. So, tell me what happened?"
Jiang Yugui was very upset, but she kept hanging around him like a fly, which was really annoying.
"You won't understand even if I tell you. Just eat your meal. Even eating can't stop you from talking."
Cao Guifang felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to make a noise here, for fear that it would affect Jiang Yugui's work. Jiang Yugui was already unhappy because of the quarrel with the neighbor.
She could only eat in silence, thinking about how she would comfort him when he went to sleep.
Who would have thought that when she specially rubbed her body with soap and went into bed with the scent of soap, Jiang Yugui was already sleeping like a dead pig.
However, what Jiang Yugui didn't know was that women's intuition was very scary.
The main thing is that the contrast between how Jiang Yugui was before and how he is now is too obvious.
Especially during the period when Jiang Yugui had just arrived at the county seat, she would fight until late at night every time she entered the city. She never expected that it would be like this in just such a short time.
Cao Guifang felt that Jiang Yugui must have someone in the city.
At this moment, Cao Guifang was calmer than ever. From Jiang Yugui's attitude just now, she guessed that the other party was definitely not a simple person.
So she not only had to drive Foxy away, but also had to win back Jiang Yugui's heart.
She couldn't ask Jiang Yugui directly, as that might just be what he wanted and he might chase her away, and she would never allow that to happen.
Hearing Jiang Yugui's cry, Cao Guifang almost gnashed her teeth.
