Gu Nan was not angry even after being scolded. She didn't want to be with anyone at all now.
It's quite a bit like being bitten by a snake once and fearing the well rope for ten years.
A gold treasure is enough for her, but if she is still looking for a partner, she doesn't dare to find one easily.
After Shen Man entered the house, others were making dumplings. Seeing this, she washed her hands and went to help.
"Daughter-in-law, I don't need you anymore. The dumplings will be finished soon. I was thinking of calling you after the dumplings are put in the pot." Gu Chen looked at him with a smile.
He was so kind to his daughter-in-law, and no one else said anything, because that's how the Gu family dotes on their daughter-in-law.
Both Gu Chen and Gu Dacheng doted on their wives.
"It's okay, I'll help make the dumplings faster." Shen Man said and started making dumplings.
Li Mei rolled the dough very quickly, and Gu Dacheng next to her also followed suit.
Today I’m making dumplings stuffed with radish and meat residue. It’s enough to eat sauerkraut every day.
Because there is a banquet today, I have refined the oil in advance, and the oil residue has not been used, so I will use it to make dumplings today.
In a short while, everyone had finished cooking. In the kitchen, Gu Nan was lighting the fire, while Li Jinhua and Wang Chunying were cooking.
In fact, there is no need to make new dishes. Apart from sharing some with the helpers today, they kept a lot for themselves so that they don’t have to cook at night.
When the food was served, Shen Man was also hungry.
Everyone was chatting happily while eating.
"Jin Yuan, are you leaving tomorrow?" Li Jinhua asked at the dinner table.
As I said when I came back before, they all resumed work on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so they had to set off tomorrow and there would be delays on the way.
When this topic was mentioned, Li Jinyuan nodded and replied: "Sister, I told you, otherwise you can go to the city."
This matter was not mentioned for two days. When it was mentioned, everyone looked at Li Jinhua.
Only Gu Dacheng had no objection, and the others hoped that Li Jinhua would agree.
When I went to the city, the whole family was transformed.
Gu Yuan now works in a commune, earning more than 20 yuan a month, but he also has a lot of ideas in his mind.
For example, if the children receive a better education, the wife can live better and wear better clothes.
Such conditions made him, an honest rural person, yearn for life in the city.
Li Jinhua remained silent. After a moment, she sighed, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to go. Look at this place. I've been here for decades. How can I be willing to leave?"
In the past, I might have thought about living in the city, but at that time I felt like I was dreaming.
But now that I have the conditions to go, I don’t want to go.
The main thing is that I still can't let go of everything here. When people are in their forties and almost fifty, can they not miss it?
Hearing this answer, the Gu family boss and his wife felt a little disappointed.
Others also felt it was a pity. Being together as a family is not only fun, but also maintains family ties.
"Eat, eat." Li Jinyuan said without mentioning the matter again.
At night, Shen Man and Gu Chen were lying in the same bed. This man had no time to be honest.
"Calm down, you have two sisters sleeping next to you, so why bother?" Shen Man scolded him unceremoniously.
She doesn't want others to hear the noise, how embarrassing is it?
Gu Chen is thick-skinned and she can't spare him.
The last time Gu Nan was at home, the two of them were together, which originally made her feel distressed.
"Daughter-in-law, I will hold you in my arms." Gu Chen knew what she meant, and thought about leaving home tomorrow without embarrassing others anymore.
He had arranged a place for Gu Nan to live in the city, and Li Jinyuan helped him buy another house. There were people lighting fires in the past two days, so he could live there when he returned.
He hasn't had time to tell Gu Nan about this yet, what should he say?
Now that his wife has him waiting for her, Gu Nan doesn't need her anymore.
When we got up the next morning, everyone was ready to go. The tickets had already been bought, so there was no need to buy any more.
At six o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the family began to cook.
I didn't stay for a few days after I came back this time, especially Li Jinyuan, who felt very complicated. Looking at the wrinkles on Li Jinhua's face, I felt that she had worked too hard these years.
I originally planned to persuade her to go to the city, but she refused to go.
"Sister, please think carefully about going to the city. Our family has the conditions." Li Jinyuan persuaded her again before leaving.
Li Jinhua was a little helpless, "Okay, I got it. Just call the team leader and leave a message when you get home."
There is no need to elaborate on the relationship between the two siblings. Li Jinhua certainly knows what he thinks.
After all, no one knows better than her how they got here all these years.
Li Jinyuan came out of the countryside to study in college, was assigned a good job, and married a virtuous wife.
This journey was indispensable for Li Jinhua's efforts, but more importantly, Li Jinyuan had to work hard enough, otherwise he would not be able to make a difference no matter how much he helped.
Watching the train drive away, Li Jinhua's eyes suddenly turned red.
I don't know why, after so many years of separation, she has never shed a tear, but now she can't stop crying.
"Jinhua, what's wrong with you?" Gu Dacheng saw his wife crying and panicked for a moment.
In all the years he had known his wife, this was the first time he saw her cry.
Such a strong and competitive daughter-in-law actually cried.
"It's okay." Li Jinhua wiped her tears and said, "Do you think it's a good thing for our family to go to the city?"
When asked these words, there was no confusion in her eyes.
Maybe she has the answer in her heart.
Gu Dacheng hesitated when he heard this, "Jinhua, if you don't want to go, we can just stay in the brigade. We have been here for decades, and nowhere is it as good as home."
Hearing this, Li Jinhua fell silent, then sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to go. Dayuan has never seen much of the world. I'm afraid that the two of them will become angry after entering the city."
"Humans, you can eat whatever you want in this life. We both live in rural areas. We might not be used to it if we go to the city to eat."
Gu Dacheng smiled and nodded: "You're right. But they are also adults. If we don't go, we will give them the choice. Don't blame us again then, let them live their own lives. Good or bad, it's all up to them.
It’s your choice.”
I have to say that they both see things very thoroughly. Sometimes young people can't stand it when you look at things and make decisions from the perspective of experienced people.
Therefore, they don't want to make everyone unhappy, and they can go if they want to.
How they mix it up depends on their choice.
Li Jinhua also agreed with his idea. After all, parents can avoid pitfalls for their children, but they still have to step into some pitfalls themselves.
When they got home, the couple called Gu Yuan and the others over and talked about their ideas.
Finally, Li Jinhua said: "You have the choice whether to go or not, but don't blame anyone else if you don't do well in the future. It's not easy for your uncle to find a job for your activities. If you don't do well, don't blame others."
She didn't want to cause trouble to Li Jinyuan, but she had to pass someone else's house when entering the city.
If you cause trouble, who should you blame?
Therefore, no matter who it is, the biological son must make it clear.
After all, if you don't say something, he will just pretend that you haven't said it.
