"As long as you have thought it through, let's go to bed. It's too late." Seeing that his wife had thought it through, Gu Mingze hugged her and told her to go to bed quickly.
Lu Qingyan was indeed a little sleepy, so she lay in the man's arms and fell asleep soon.
But Gu Mingze didn't fall asleep so quickly.
He held his wife in his arms, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, thinking about going home today.
When I went back, I already thought that his parents would be unhappy with me.
But when I really saw that my parents were not happy with me, I still felt very bad.
But all this was caused by himself and his mother. Since it cannot be undone, let it be.
I pay my parents pension on time every year, and I also mail gifts to their home during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.
With this in mind, I decided to take my wife and children back to visit my parents in the next two days, then take advantage of the holiday to have two days, and then return to the army.
The next morning, Gu Mingze looked at his wife and children who were still sleeping, then he quietly got up, put on his clothes and went out.
"Mingze, you got up so early?" Lu Qingshan was chopping firewood in the yard. When he looked up, he saw Gu Mingze coming out, so he smiled and greeted him.
"Yeah, I'm used to getting up so early in the army." Gu Mingze went to wash up, came back and took the axe from his uncle, saying that he would chop firewood and asked his uncle to take a rest.
"Mingze, your parents live with you, and I feel relieved at home, so you don't have to worry about us in the city. We live well in the brigade." Lu Qingshan sat on a stool at the side, thinking about what his sister said yesterday about finding him a job.
He always felt that it was good enough that his sister could provide for his parents in their old age.
If we find them jobs again, wouldn't that make Gu Mingze think too much?
So he thought about it all night, and when he saw Gu Mingze, he said it directly.
"Brother, it's Xiaoyan who is going to find a job for you, not me." Gu Mingze understood what his brother-in-law meant when he heard what he said. He immediately stopped what he was doing, stood there and said with a smile: "Xiaoyan not only has a job in the city, but is also a teacher in our army school, so if she said she would find a job for you and brother, she should be able to find one."
"Ah? Xiaoyan still has a job in the city?" Lu Qingshan knew that his younger sister was a teacher in the army, but he had never known that she had a job in the city, so when he heard his brother-in-law's words, he was shocked.
"Yes, she found a job in the city when she was pregnant. After she gave birth, the army built a school and she became a teacher, so we forgot to tell you." Seeing his brother-in-law's shocked look, Gu Mingze suddenly remembered that every time they wrote home, they never mentioned Lu Qingyan's work in the city.
So in my hometown, basically everyone knows that Lu Qingyan is a teacher in school, and no one knows that she has another job.
"Xiaoyan is really amazing. It's so hard for others to find a job, but she can do two jobs by herself. She's really amazing." When Lu Qingshan heard his brother-in-law say this, he said proudly: "Xiaoyan has always been a good student since she was young. Now she can find two jobs by herself. She's even better than people in the city."
"Of course not. It's hard for people in the city to find a job. Xiaoyan works two jobs at the same time. Isn't that amazing? That's why she is not allowed to take the college entrance examination. If she had to take the examination, Xiaoyan would have graduated from college by now." Gu Mingze has always felt sorry for his wife. It is a waste of his wife's talent that she is not allowed to take the college entrance examination after graduating from high school.
"Of course not. Xiaoyan has been a good student since she was young. It's a pity that she doesn't go to college." Lu Qingshan agreed with his brother-in-law. If the college entrance examination had not been suddenly suspended, his younger sister would probably be eating government food by now.
"We don't know when we can take the college entrance examination. If we can take the college entrance examination in two years, I will force Xiaoyan to take the college entrance examination and let her become a college student for us." Gu Mingze said these words sincerely, thinking it was a pity that his wife didn't take the college entrance examination.
So I think that when his wife was young, if the college entrance examination could be restored, he would definitely let his wife take it.
"Come on, forget it. When she can take the college entrance examination in two years, how old will my two older grandchildren be? Why would she take the college entrance examination at such an old age?" Mother Lu came out and heard the conversation between the two, so she interrupted and said
"Mom, what you said is not right. Xiaoyan is only 22 years old this year. Even if the college entrance examination is resumed in two years, she is only about 20 years old. Why can't she take the college entrance examination?" Gu Mingze was a little unhappy when he heard what his mother-in-law said. He kept saying that his wife was young, so how could she become old if she took the college entrance examination?
"Okay, I won't argue with you two. Let's talk about it when you can take the college entrance examination." Seeing that her son-in-law was a little unhappy, Lu's mother waved her hand and stopped talking to him. There was no point in being stubborn at this time. It was all for her daughter's good anyway. Why bother being stubborn?
Gu Mingze watched his mother-in-law enter the kitchen, and then he secretly glared at her, then looked at his brother-in-law and said, "Look, mom, you're praising your own daughter, but why are you still talking about her?"
"Haha, mom is also thinking that Xiaoyan is already a mother of two children, why should she go to school? Going to school means leaving home and career, it's better not to go." It has to be said that as a son's mother, Lu Qingshan knew what his mother meant when he heard her words.
But this is my younger sister's family's business, so I'd better not say any more about it.
If what he said was not right, and his mother comes to confront him again, it would be useless.
"That's right." Gu Mingze nodded after hearing what his brother-in-law said, and then talked about other things and didn't mention this topic anymore.
"By the way, Mingze, when you go back to the Majia Brigade that day, tell me in advance so that I can go to the brigade to pick up the ox cart. This will save us from having to borrow the ox cart when it is needed." Lu Qingshan suddenly seemed to remember something, looked up at Gu Mingze and said
He is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that you won't be able to borrow a car, and the two children will have to follow his younger sister and brother-in-law to walk to Majia Brigade. How tiring that will be.
"I understand, big brother." Gu Mingze said from his heart. He didn't want to take up the things of the brigade, so he agreed verbally, but in his heart he was thinking that when he went to the commune to buy things tomorrow, he would borrow a bicycle from his comrades, so that it would be convenient to go back and forth.
Isn't it okay for them to just return it when they leave?
It doesn't take up things on the team, but it provides tools for going back and forth, which is good.
"It's time for dinner." Mother Lu came out after finishing the meal and called out, "Mingze, go and wake up Xiaoyan and the two children to eat. Don't let me come over and block their bed."
Section 86
"Got it, Mom." Gu Mingze agreed, put down the axe in his hand, and went into the house to wake up the three of them who were still sleeping soundly for dinner.
