There is no obvious difference between the four seasons in Chongqing. Except for the severe winter and early spring when it is a little cold, it is almost summer at other times.
In late autumn, people in Chongqing still wear short sleeves and thin shirts. Even if there are occasional cool breezes, the leaves on the trees are still green, bringing only a touch of coolness but not the bleak feeling of late autumn.
In the early morning, when Gu Qi woke up slowly, he found that his wife's head had fallen on his stomach again. He could only smile softly and dote on her.
He stroked her arms and cheeks, enjoying the intimate moments that belonged only to the two of them.
After a while, the door of the next room creaked open, and my son's signature jumping and playful footsteps rang out.
Gu Qi gently moved his wife away, helped her lie down, covered her with a thin quilt, and then stepped quietly into bed.
My son was already standing on a small stool brushing his teeth, his mouth full of bubbles, mumbling, "Dad~Dad~"
Gu Qi nodded calmly, walked forward and started washing.
I had shaved halfway when I heard the sound of a tractor outside the window!
Little Tiger dropped the towel, stuck his head out, and shouted excitedly: "Third uncle! Fourth uncle!"
After shouting excitedly, he ran downstairs.
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise, quickly shaved his beard, and hurried into the room to put on his shirt.
"Xing'er! Xing'er! Yinmo said that the third and fourth brothers are here!"
"...Hmm?" Chen Xingling muttered in confusion: "Third brother? Fourth brother? Impossible?"
Ever since she and Ma Dali became contractors, they had to buy various building materials every now and then.
The brothers usually drove tractors to deliver seafood to the city early in the morning, and went to work on the construction site when they were free in the afternoon. Not only did they leave their tractors on the construction site for her to use, they also had to take turns being her truck drivers.
Her brothers used to work as construction workers in the city, so they were experienced in the job. She asked them to come whenever they were free and paid them half-day wages.
At first they were unwilling to take it, saying they were helping their sister and there was no point in taking a salary.
She secretly explained to them that "Sanyuan" was originally her own house, and she was not polite at all when her brothers came to help her, and she never paid any money no matter how much they helped.
But now it's different, she will probably work in this industry in the future. There will always be such jobs, it's not good to keep taking advantage of her brothers.
Besides, her brothers have to support their families, so they can’t keep working for her for free.
In addition, this idea was a collaboration with Ma Dali, not her own. When relatives and friends come to help, they should also be paid on a daily basis, and all should be treated fairly and impartially, without favoritism or special treatment.
After hearing this, several brothers agreed one after another, and cheerfully explained that it was not easy to find a job when they had nothing to do before, but now they have their sister to take care of them and they don't have to worry about making money.
When her parents knew that she was taking on such a job, they were secretly worried at first and asked her secretly if she had no money to spend. Later, they became worried that she was too tired from studying and working at the same time.
Only after her brothers explained that her job was to buy things and handle the receipts and payments, and that she didn't have to do any heavy work, did the old couple finally feel relieved.
Several sisters-in-law found that their husbands brought home more money than they did anywhere else, and that there was always work available, with more stable hours and more stable income.
I sell fish in the morning and work in the afternoon. The two do not affect each other and my savings increase quickly.
The sisters-in-law all praised their younger sister-in-law. Tian took the initiative to go out to sea to fish with Xixi, allowing the husbands to stay at the construction site in the afternoon to earn wages.
The wages were guaranteed, and fishing was not stressful. The old father and his parents were relieved to see that the brothers and sisters could take care of each other and that the family was harmonious and peaceful.
Several brothers now drive tractors into the city early in the morning to deliver fish. After the fish and shrimp are sold, they go straight to the construction site. In the evening, they ride the tractor back home together and rarely come to the "Three Parks".
Gu Qi was very confident in his son's eyesight and rubbed her waist a few times.
"It shouldn't be wrong. Be good and get up quickly. I'll go downstairs first."
After saying this, he quickly walked out of the master bedroom and left.
Chen Xingling was half asleep and half awake on the bed. In a daze, he seemed to hear a very familiar voice of "little sister", and he opened his eyes suddenly in fright!
That was——Fourth Brother’s voice?!
Could it really be that Fourth Brother is back? ! !
Yes! When Fourth Brother left a few months ago, he said that he would not be away for too long and would be back after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The next moment, she got up in a panic, threw away the thin blanket on her body, got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom - but had to step back and quickly change out of her pajamas.
Three minutes later, Chen Xingling rushed downstairs with wet face!
I saw the third brother leaning on the armchair in the living room, crunching watermelon seeds, while the fourth brother was riding little Tiger on his neck, wearing a sailor's shirt, looking straight and handsome, and was happily chatting with Gu Qi.
"Fourth brother!" Chen Xingling shouted in surprise.
Just as she was about to run forward, her wrist was grabbed by a slightly rough hand!
Chen Xingling was stunned and instinctively turned his head away.
I saw a beautiful woman in exotic clothes looking at me with a smile. She was about thirty years old, with deep and beautiful features and a strong sense of maturity and stability.
"You——" Chen Xingling chuckled and guessed, "You are my future fourth sister-in-law, right?"
After hearing that, the woman laughed, then turned to look at Chen Jixing coquettishly.
"Your sister is just as you said—she is really a smart girl!"
Chen Jixing laughed heartily and came over with the little one on his shoulders.
"Yes, she is the smartest and most beloved little sister in our family! She is also the only special one in our family who can be named directly without any order! She is the only sister in my family of brothers. When she was a child, she was almost spoiled by us brothers! I'm not kidding you!"
The woman looked at Chen Xingling with a charming smile in her eyes.
"Hmm~ His eyebrows and eyes are similar to yours. His features are very attractive, not the stunning type, but he is handsome and confident, especially the confidence between his eyebrows and eyes, which none of you brothers have."
Chen Jixing coughed lightly and smiled apologetically.
"Little sister, her name is Zhu Siya - my fiancée, your fourth sister-in-law. She is a descendant of overseas Chinese in Chongqing and grew up abroad. With a different cultural background, she speaks directly and is very frank and generous. She speaks directly and sometimes easily offends people. I'm here to give you a heads up. I apologize in advance. Don't bother with her in the future."
Chen Xingling laughed: "How can I! She is a new member of our family, I dare not care about it, and I can't care about it!"
Chen Bingxing explained: "They came home yesterday evening. They didn't even say hello, but rushed into the house with several large suitcases - my parents were so happy that they couldn't speak for a long time, they just laughed."
Zhu Siya smiled and stretched out her hand.
Chen Xingling hurriedly shook hands with her: "Hello, hello! Fourth sister-in-law!"
Then, she turned her head to look at Chen Jixing and asked with a smile: "Fourth brother, before you went out to sea, you said that you would give us a big surprise when you come back this time - Fourth sister-in-law is what you call a 'surprise', right?"
After a long time, she still remembered the look on her fourth brother's face before they left. It was clear that he was hiding something else.
Unexpectedly, she actually guessed it right!
"Yes!" Chen Jixing hugged Zhu Siya and explained, "In fact, we have known each other for several years, but due to her nationality issue, she has not been able to return to China to marry me, so it has been delayed again and again."
"That's partly why." Zhu Siya leaned on her lover's shoulder and smiled sweetly, "It's mainly because in the past two years, we were not too sure that the other person was the one, so we had to wait and see."
"What about now?" Chen Xingling asked with a smile: "It's finally confirmed, right?"
Zhu Siya nodded: "Of course! I think about him day and night, and he misses me a lot, so we finally decided to be together. This time when we came back, we accidentally encountered a shipwreck, and we almost lost each other and were buried in the sea-"
"No way?" Chen Bingxing exclaimed: "Shipwreck?! How can we recover?"
Gu Qi was also startled when he heard this. His handsome sword-like eyebrows instantly raised and he stared at his fourth uncle in disbelief.
Chen Xingling was just as frightened as he was.
“Almost… died in the sea?!!”
