After eating, Li Xiuzhi and her mother-in-law went to clean up, while Li Pengsheng and Lin Jiaguo sat by the fire, smoking cigarettes.
"Dad, Mom is in good health now. I'm thinking of letting Xiuzhi retire and let Mom go to work."
Hearing this, Li Pengsheng immediately shook his head and said: "Jiaguo, I know you are thinking about this family, but you also have to consider your family over there."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and said: "Your father and I still have some favors. In the past, your mother was not in good health and I couldn't talk. After all, you have to do things when you go to work. You can't use favors and let others gossip.
"
"Now that your mother is in good health, it's easier for me to talk to you. Don't worry, your mother will be in class."
Lin Jiaguo listened, took a puff of cigarette, and said with a smile: "Dad, I think so. Xiuzhi was originally taking over from mom. Before mom retired, her skills in the textile factory were well known, and her salary was already high."
"As for Xiuzhi, her current skills are not as good as mom's. In this case, she might as well let mom take over."
At this time, Wu Xiu and Li Xiuzhi, the mother-in-law who had packed up, came out. When she heard this, Wu Xiu shook her head and said: "Mom knows your thoughts about my country, but you have to think about you and your wife."
"Mom is in good health now and can do anything without missing a bite, so don't worry."
Li Xiuzhi felt quite embarrassed when she heard this. On the one hand, she felt that what Lin Jiaguo said was right. As long as her mother went back to work, with her skills, her salary would of course be high. This would be of great help to the family.
On the other hand, she also has to consider the future of herself and her country. Although the two of them don't have children yet, it doesn't mean they won't have children in the future. When they have children, she will have to consider the future of her family.
Seeing his daughter-in-law's troubled face, Lin Jiaguo smiled slightly and said, "Dad, Mom, just listen to me."
"Xiuzhi works in a textile factory, which is too far away from me. I'm still thinking of finding an opportunity to get her a job closer to home."
When Li Pengsheng and Li Pengsheng heard this, they couldn't laugh or cry. Should I say that this guy is big-hearted, or that he loves his little wife?
Changing jobs? It’s not that difficult. These days, it’s hard to find a job, let alone changing jobs.
"Okay, family and country, needless to say." Li Pengsheng took a puff of cigarette and shook his head: "You have good intentions. Your mother and I appreciate it, but you have to think about us. If your mother is embarrassed again,
I don’t know how many people who replaced Xiuzhi pointed at us and scolded us.”
Hearing this, Lin Jiaguo smiled bitterly. Wu Xiu also nodded and said with a smile: "Jiaguo, your dad is right. Xiuzhi has already made a lot of gossip even after sharing half of her salary. You can't let dad."
Mom should be criticized."
At this point, Lin Jiaguo had no choice. He really didn't want his wife to travel so far to work every day.
After thinking about it, he handed Li Pengsheng another cigarette, lit it for him, and then said: "Dad, didn't you say you still have favors?"
"Let's do this. Mom will take over Xiuzhi's shift. Dad, please use the favor on Xiuzhi."
When Li Pengsheng heard this, he was about to refuse. Lin Jiaguo did not give him a chance, but said: "Dad, Xiuzhi has changed her job. It doesn't matter if the salary is lower. We don't have children yet. My salary here is
It’s enough to support a family.”
"In this way, Mom goes to work and Xiu Zhi also has a new job. It kills two birds with one stone."
Hearing this, Li Pengsheng frowned. He knew that Lin Jiaguo wanted to use this method to make the family's life easier. After all, he knew his wife's skills.
Wu Xiu opened her mouth at this time, not knowing what to say. When the two of them were silent, Lin Jiaguo shook Li Xiuzhi's hand and asked her to speak.
Sensing Lin Jiaguo's thoughts, Li Xiuzhi smiled gently, took a deep breath, and said, "Mom, Dad, this time, you will listen to Jiaguo."
"Even if you change jobs, it doesn't matter if your salary is a little lower at the beginning. It will increase in the future. Your eldest daughter still has this ambition."
After hearing his daughter's words, Li Pengsheng looked at the two of them for a while before laughing.
"Okay, dad agreed."
"Pengsheng, you..." Wu Xiu spoke up and wanted to stop him. Li Pengsheng waved his hand and said to her: "This is what the two children want. We accept it."
"They say everything goes well with the family. Wife, this is how it will be done."
Lin Jiaguo laughed when he heard this. After the matter was settled, his father-in-law's family would be better off in the future.
After some further discussion, Lin Jiaguo left with Li Xiuzhi.
As soon as the two left, Wu Xiu couldn't help but said: "Peng Sheng, this is so unfair to Jia Guo and Xiu Zhi."
Li Pengsheng looked at her, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Jia Guo, this boy, has a very strong heart. Since he opens his mouth, he will definitely find a way to make us agree."
"My wife, they say that a son-in-law is half a son. It is her blessing that Xiuzhi can marry her, and it is also our family's blessing."
As he said that, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I still have human feelings. In the past, when you were not in good health, if I spoke, it would make things difficult for you. More importantly, I would worry about your health."
As he spoke, he asked his wife Wu Xiu to sit down and said with a smile: "Since this guy from Jiaguo thinks that Xiu Zhi's place of work is too far away, I will go and ask for a favor and change Xiu Zhi to a job closer to him."
"Even if people think I am taking the blame, I admit it. I am worthy of this country, but I am sorry for my daughter. If anyone wants to scold me, just scold me."
He has a bottom line as a human being, but this time, even if he went beyond his own principles, he still recognized that there is a country and a family. Now that he no longer has the ability to serve the country, he can just take care of his family.
The two couples talked and discussed it before falling asleep.
The next day, Li Xiuzhi came over and took her mother Wu Xiu to the textile factory.
The handover between the two went smoothly. The leaders of the textile factory confirmed that Wu Xiu was in good health, so they were naturally overjoyed. They recognized Wu Xiu's skills.
On Li Pengsheng's side, he limped with a cane and came to a yard.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He reached out and knocked on the door, and soon the door opened. A man in his fifties opened the door. When he saw the person, Li Pengsheng saluted.
"Old company commander, Li Pengsheng is here!"
When the old company commander looked at Li Pengsheng, he was stunned at first. After seeing clearly, his face lit up, and then he looked at his missing leg, and immediately said angrily: "You bastard, you are hiding from me.
, I asked you to hide, I asked you to hide.”
Cursing, he stretched out his hand to unbuckle his belt subconsciously. Li Pengsheng's eyes turned red and he laughed.
The old company commander's eyes turned red at this time, he hugged Li Pengsheng tightly and cursed: "You bastard, I thought you were going to hide away for the rest of your life."
In the room, the two of them sat down and the wine was poured. They were scolding and drinking, and they were crying and laughing.
Li Pengsheng told what happened after he retreated. The old company commander listened and saw that Li Pengsheng was missing a leg. He immediately said angrily: "No wonder you, a bastard, are hiding from me. Why are you afraid?"
I can't help you, right?"
Hearing this, Li Pengsheng smiled bitterly and said: "Old company commander, I just broke a leg. Compared with the situation at home of other brothers, I am doing better."
When the old company commander heard this, he immediately sighed. He didn't know what his soldier was like. He didn't want to cause trouble for himself, and he also wanted to help other brothers.
"Old company commander, I'm here today to ask for a favor." Li Pengsheng said, his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth. After explaining his situation clearly, his eyes turned red and he said: "Old company commander
, I know this will embarrass you, but I have to do it."
He took a deep breath and said resolutely: "Old company commander, after I broke my leg, it was Xiuzhi who carried the family alone. She is married now, and I have to think about her."
"I know there are many people in worse situations than me. I am just greedy, but I have to do it, old company commander. Although I have violated my principles as a soldier, I am also a father."
Hearing this, the old company commander stretched out his hand and slapped him on the head, humming: "You bastard, you still know that you are a father, why, now you know."
"Okay, leave this to me. As an uncle, I naturally have to help with the eldest niece's matter."
"Thank you, old company commander." Li Pengsheng wanted to stand up and salute, but the old company commander stopped him.
"Okay, let's drink. Your bastard's ability to drink won't be worse just because you broke a leg."
Looking at the suspicious eyes of his old company commander, Li Pengsheng twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his glass, and drank.
After drinking wine and eating food, the old company commander asked, "Have you been sending money to Lao Quan's family?"
Li Pengsheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I kept sending them at first, but after losing one leg and my wife Wu Xiu's health, I stopped sending them."
"Old company commander, my wife is in good health now, and Xiu Zhi has also married a good husband. My family's situation will be much better. After a period of relief, I will continue to send some money to their family.
It’s not easy.”
The old company commander nodded and sighed: "Let's help each other. Lao Kou and the others failed to come back from the battlefield. As brothers, we are the relatives of their families, and life will get better and better."
The two of them were talking and cursing, as if they had returned to the battlefield full of smoke.
…
In the courtyard, Li Xiuzhi returned home after handing over work to her mother.
"Hey, Xiuzhi, didn't you go to work today?" The third aunt looked at Li Xiuzhi with a surprised look on her face and asked.
When Li Xiuzhi saw it was the third aunt, she smiled slightly and said, "My mother is in good health. I'm going to ask her to take over the shift today."
Hearing this, the third aunt looked shocked and asked to take over? Does this mean that Li Xiuzhi's job is gone?
"Xiuzhi, does the family and the country know about this?" The third aunt got along well with Li Xiuzhi. As soon as she heard about this, she became concerned and said with some worry: "Xiuzhi, this is a big deal. They are talking about getting married.
It is true that your daughter throws water to help your parents' family, but there must be a standard. Don't forget, you are also the head of the family now."
Hearing this, Li Xiuzhi smiled tenderly and said, "My family and the country know about it, and he was the one who brought it up."
When she heard this, the third aunt felt that she had a toothache, because she was a mother, and she really wanted a "silly" son-in-law like Lin Jiaguo.
After the two exchanged a few words, Li Xiuzhi went back to the house. She had to cook and wait for Lin Jiaguo to come home.
Things in the courtyard cannot be hidden. In the evening, everyone who came back from get off work soon knew about Li Xiuzhi.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lin Jiaguo, this idiot, actually wants to push the good life to the outside world." The third uncle Yan Bugui tutted, Lin Jiaguo, this kid, didn't understand at all, Li Xiuzhi went to work, although there would be half
The salary is given to my mother's family, but half of it is left.
Now, her job is gone. Although Li Xiuzhi no longer needs to give money to her family, half of her own money is gone.
When Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle of the middle court, heard this, he also clicked his tongue. If he had a daughter, he would also want such a son-in-law.
No, we have to catch this kid. The more he behaves like this, the more reliable he is. Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai began to make plans again.
When the Jia family and Qin Huairu found out about this, they were so upset that they went to borrow food themselves. Li Xiuzhi said it was difficult, but now she turned around and gave up her job.
"Humph, what a fool." Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted and said proudly: "If you marry such a wife, you deserve that boy's misfortune. I knew that boy was a destitute."
Hearing this, Qin Huairu glanced at her mother-in-law and shook her head slightly. Even if Li Xiuzhi lost her job, the Lin family's salary was enough to support her family.
"Mom, you go secretly to publicize this matter tomorrow." Jia Dongxu's eyes were vicious and he said more and more sickly: "Publish Li Xiuzhi, this prodigal daughter-in-law, haha, it's best to let the couple quarrel and get them divorced."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, Mom will go tomorrow." Jia Zhang's eyes lit up and she echoed fiercely. Qin Huairu opened her mouth when she saw this, but did not say anything in the end.
.
Listening to her husband Jia Dongxu giving advice to her mother-in-law, Qin Huairu felt her heart skip a beat. The current Jia Dongxu made her feel scared.
Some people are jealous, while others admire them. If the Lin family can achieve this, they must recognize their character. These days, one job can be the life of the family.
In the next few days, Jia Zhang secretly encouraged the situation, but Lin Jiaguo and Li Xiuzhi turned a deaf ear to these rumors, and their loving appearance made some people who felt that Li Xiuzhi forced Lin Jiaguo to make this decision rejected the idea.
"This Li Xiuzhi is so lucky that she has found such a good husband."
After it was confirmed that Lin Jiaguo was the one who made the decision in this matter, many people became even more bitter. Some girls who had been on a blind date with Lin Jiaguo regretted that they had not chosen the right person.
"When looking for a son-in-law, you should look for someone like Lin Jiakuo." As soon as the news came out, the male compatriots in this area immediately gritted their teeth. They hate it. Now when they go on a blind date, girls will ask, will you help your mother's family?
Mothers with daughters also looked at the young men who wanted to date their daughters. They would be satisfied with just half of them, not to mention finding another Lin Jiaguo.
"My country, you're really hurting me." In the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng complained loudly, smoking a cigarette, and said with a resentful look in his eyes: "Now that people know that you are in the same courtyard as me, let me learn from you. You said, I
Can I learn it? With my conditions, how can I learn it?"
Lin Jiaguo's mouth twitched as he listened. He was about to lie down.
"Jie Cheng, try your best, I can't help you."
After patting Yan Jiecheng's shoulder, Lin Jiaguo left with a smile.
Just as he was about to go out, he met Shazhu. He said hello and was about to leave, but Shazhu stopped him.
Seeing Si Zhu stopping Lin Jiaguo, Yan Jiecheng, who was resentful, immediately shrank his neck and quickly turned around to return home.
Lin Jiaguo frowned at this time and said: "Master He, what are you doing?"
"What do you want me to do?" Silly Zhu stared at Lin Jiaguo and gritted his teeth and said, "You still ask me what you did."
Hearing this, Lin Jiaguo was confused, what did he do?
"Master He, can you explain it more clearly?" Lin Jiaguo was confused now. He really didn't know how he could offend this guy.
"You bastard guy, don't you want to make things easier for me? You actually ruined my reputation." Silly Zhu's anger surged and he wanted to take action. Lin Jiaguo's eyes narrowed, his expression turned cold, and he said: "Master He, I
She is not a talkative woman, you should know this."
As soon as he said this, and looked at Lin Jiaguo's cold expression, Silly Zhu's anger immediately dissipated, and with a suspicious expression, he asked: "You really didn't do it?"
"Master He, what are you talking about?" Lin Jiaguo asked. He really didn't know what was going on.
Silly Zhu's eyes were scrutinizing, and he explained aloud. It turned out that he went to Aunt Liu on the street to ask her to help introduce another person, but Aunt Liu saw him and refused directly.
Being rejected by Aunt Liu, Shazhu was dumbfounded. His conditions were not bad, so he immediately asked why.
"The word has spread in your courtyard. The Lin family is helping the mother's family, and you, Silly Zhu, are helping the Jia family."
"There are rumors now that you, Silly Zhu, are planning to wait for Jia Dongxu's death so that you can take over Qin Huairu's orphaned and widowed mother."
"Tell me, this girl dares to go on a blind date with you."
Aunt Liu said a few words, and Silly Zhu was confused. After confirming the matter, he was rejected by Aunt Liu. With anger, he came to Lin Jiaguo.
After hearing this, Lin Jiaguo was speechless. He spread his hands and said, "Master He, do you think this will be spread by me? We don't have such a big hatred, right?"
As he said that, he looked at Silly Zhu helplessly and said: "Although I don't know who told you that it was me who came from this, but I know one thing, that person is not well-intentioned, Master He, you must not
You are angry at the wrong person."
After the words fell, Lin Jiaguo shook his head and was speechless. He did not expect that he would also encounter such a mess of "forcing the plot".
Silly Zhu looked at Lin Jiaguo, thought about it again, and after a while, he grunted and left.
As soon as he left, Lin Jiaguo also narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that someone wanted to use Silly Zhu to cause trouble for him. Who was this person?
He couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to think about it anymore. He was also very annoyed by this kind of thing.
But as for Silly Zhu, he returned to the middle courtyard with a depressed look on his face and was about to take a rest when he saw Jia Dongxu sitting at the door looking at him with something strange in his eyes.
He wanted to say hello, but when he saw something was wrong in Jia Dongxu's eyes, he swallowed and went into the house.
"Damn, damn..."
Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth. What was he guilty of? Is it true?
Although he couldn't go out, he still had his son BangGeng. When he saw BangGeng coming back crying today, he asked and found the problem.
The fight between sticks and stems is because the children in this alley are ignorant and say whatever they hear.
Why does he have two dads now, the eldest dad Jia Dongxu and the younger dad Shazhu.
Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu thought about it and realized how exaggerated the rumors about their family were.
