Chapter 228: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature (Forty)
Everything that Second Sister-in-law Gu could think of, Sister-in-law Gu and Fourth Wife-in-law Gu had also thought of.
Their feelings were actually more profound than those of Mrs. Gu.
There is no other reason. The real example is right in front of us.
When the second son's family entered the city, their whole appearance changed.
My skin turned white, I gained weight, and I made several new clothes.
The Gu family is not divided. The three sisters-in-law all live in the same courtyard. Who doesn’t know each other?
The situation of Second Sister-in-law Gu's natal family is similar to that of the Gu family. Her ancestors were all poor farmers.
When she married into the Gu family, all her wedding clothes were borrowed.
In the past ten years or so in the Gu family, I must have secretly saved some private houses.
However, Brother Gu was originally an old farmer. At most, he would go to town to do odd jobs during the slack time.
The money that can be earned is also considerable.
Sister-in-law Gu and Fourth Wife-in-law Gu made a mental calculation and came to the conclusion that the new clothes at the second family's house were not purchased with her own money, but were bought by their sister-in-law.
Apart from the obvious changes in Sister-in-law Gu, what makes the eldest, fourth and second child jealous the most is the training quota that the sister-in-law secured for the second child.
Driving, what a rare skill?
Just like Mrs. Gu said, if you learn to drive, even if you can't go to the factory, you can still go back to the production team and drive a tractor.
Although I can’t eat commercial food, I won’t be affected by the labor!
The key is to have enough scenery.
Driving a tractor, scuttling through the countryside, the villagers all admire and envy him from the bottom of their hearts when they see him.
The entire old Gu family showed up!
And this is all given by my sister-in-law.
"Blame me! It's all my fault! It's not a good time to have a baby, but this time!"
Sister-in-law Gu is so hateful.
At first, her belly was bigger than my sister-in-law's, so she definitely couldn't go to the city to serve her.
As a result, the second family member took advantage of the loophole.
Although my man has gone to the factory in the town, he is only a temporary worker.
Not only the salary is low, but there are no benefits.
Take the Chinese New Year as an example. All formal workers with official establishments can receive Chinese New Year benefits.
But my man does the same work as a regular worker, but gets nothing!
Sister-in-law Gu was so excited when she first found out that the man was going to be a worker. Then she felt unhappy when she saw the difference between regular workers and temporary workers.
Why are they all working in the same factory, doing the same job, but being treated differently?
Dafang has been very confused this year.
What should have been a happy event was still cast a shadow.
Just after the New Year, the second brother's family came back.
Big and small packages, shiny and smooth, just like this, anyone who sees it will know——
How could she serve anyone in the city? She was clearly enjoying a blessing.
Not to mention the blessings, I also asked my sister-in-law to find a better future for Gu Laoer!
Why, they are all brothers from the same mother.
And, to put it into detail, it was their eldest son who was the first to fawn over his sister-in-law.
Just because he didn't attend the confinement period, the second bedroom took the lead and took the lion's share!
The more Sister-in-law Gu thought about it, the angrier she became, "No! We can't let the second son's family go to the city anymore."
"Although my sister-in-law is in confinement, the child is still young and needs someone to take care of her!"
"I'm going! I just gave birth to a baby and I still have milk! I'm going and I even saved money on milk powder!"
Brother Gu lowered his head and said nothing, but he already agreed with his wife's guess and decision.
Perhaps he had to go to Longwangshu to work as a temporary worker, and Brother Gu wanted to become a regular worker.
But he has little ability and his skills are only average.
Without Xiaoni's help, he would only be a temporary worker in his life.
"My dad may not agree!"
Brother Gu said dullly.
Allowing a daughter-in-law who is still nursing a child to serve her daughter-in-law is for the sake of her daughter-in-law's glory, but outsiders won't see it that way.
People will only think that the Gu family is unkind and does not treat their daughter-in-law as one of their own.
Sister-in-law Gu:......
She also knew that she was not a suitable candidate.
But, she was really unwilling to do so.
"Then let Gu Yu go! What's wrong with Gu Yu not getting married? In our countryside, which girl wouldn't help wash urine rings and take care of the children?"
Sister-in-law Gu gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
If Father Gu doesn't let her go and chooses his fourth wife instead, then she will go all out to make trouble and must include Gu Yu!
…
Almost at the same time, the fourth daughter-in-law was also bickering with the fourth child.
"I'm going! I'm going to help our sister take care of the child!"
"You have been studying with Dr. Wei for half a year, and you have almost learned it. All you need is a medical qualification certificate."
Yes, these days people also have medical qualification certificates.
However, it is not as formal and strict as later generations.
Basically, you go to a regular hospital in the city to receive training. If you pass the exam, the hospital will issue a certificate.
With a certificate, you can work as a health worker or a barefoot doctor in the village.
If you have excellent grades, you can even be admitted by the hospital through special recruitment.
Gu Laosi loved reading and was able to study calmly.
Doctor Wei is a famous doctor with a family background.
For the sake of my granddaughter and the various cares the Gu family secretly provided, I also gave everything to Gu Laosi.
Teachers and students both work hard, and the results are very gratifying.
Although Gu Laosi does not yet have superb medical skills, his level is already higher than that of the health workers in the production brigade.
The only thing missing now is hospital training places.
If Dr. Wei is still in the city, he might be able to help.
But then again, if Doctor Wei was still in the city, Gu Laosi would have no chance to study medicine with Doctor Wei.
"I think it's okay! Look at how my second sister-in-law looks like. My sister doesn't have to endure hardships!"
Gu Laosi was born weak and had a softer temper.
He is not like the men around him, who is completely chauvinistic and beats and scolds his wife at every turn.
Gu Laosi is like a frail little scholar, and he is also very gentle and loving towards his wife.
The young couple has been married for two or three years, loving and sweet.
Although they don't have children yet, they both regard each other as their only one and their support.
Gu Laosi really longs for a place, but if the conditions at Third Sister's place are not good and his wife is really working like a cow, he won't be able to part with it.
After seeing Second Sister-in-law Gu come back with a glowing face, Gu Laosi was convinced: Third Sister's family is in good condition, and if his daughter-in-law goes there, she can still enjoy the blessings!
Gu Laosi felt relieved.
"Yes! Look at the new cotton-padded jacket made by my second sister-in-law. The floral fabric is new and the cotton is new. I took a sneak peek and it's soft and warm!"
Such good cotton-padded clothes are the first in their production brigade.
It’s not that you really can’t afford it, it’s that you need to pay for cloth, and you need cotton coupons to buy cotton.
Even for workers, their monthly bills are limited.
If you want to make a thick new cotton coat, you will probably have to save for a long time.
Not to mention the farmers in the countryside, they have no votes and are not rich.
Many families wear cotton-padded clothes that are not only patched, but the cotton inside is black, hard, and clumped.
It's nothing like the second sister-in-law's piece. It's new inside and out, and it makes people feel rare just looking at it!
"I, too, will go to the city to enjoy the happiness this time."
Gu Laosi:......
He glanced at his wife and reminded, "Don't always think about enjoying happiness, you should sincerely help my sister!"
My sister is not stupid!
Just by looking at her "competition" between the three brothers, you can see that after a few years in the city, this sister has not only become more beautiful and promising, but her brain has also become more brilliant!
Gu's fourth daughter-in-law glared at Gu Laosi with an angry look, "You don't have to say that! I'm not stupid!"
When asking for help, you must have a begging attitude.
If you want to gain glory, you must also clarify your position.
Although he obviously wants to benefit from others, he still regards himself as an ancestor.
Haha, how stupid a person must be to do such a stupid thing?!
…
The next day, the Gu family had breakfast in the main room as usual.
Just after finishing eating, before she could put down her rice bowl, Sister-in-law Gu spoke eagerly——
"dad!"
Almost at the same time, Gu’s fourth wife also shouted: “Dad!”
Father Gu:......
have to!
coming!
Last night, it was not just the boss and the fourth couple who stayed up all night.
The old couple of the Gu family also chatted for half the night with their eyes open.
Father Gu knew that the trip back to the second brother's house had greatly stimulated the first and fourth rooms.
The three brothers were originally in the same situation, but because of Gu Xiaoni, they were different. No one was happy with who they were.
He and his wife discussed it over and over again, and were in a dilemma.
There's nothing I can do about it, the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh.
As old people, they had tried their best to hold the bowl of water as level as possible.
But the children don't think so. They all feel that their parents are partial to the other side!
In the end, Gu's father made a decision: it must be fair. The second child's future is stable, and the work of the eldest and fourth child must be implemented.
Therefore, at the Eight Immortals table, looking at the eager-looking Sister-in-law Gu and the expectant fourth daughter-in-law Gu, Father Gu didn’t even wait for them to speak, and said, "This time, let’s go to Gu Yu and the fourth daughter-in-law from the old family!"
This is the best arrangement and the fairest plan that Father Gu can come up with.
The eldest couple and the fourth couple were indeed very satisfied.
Only Sister-in-law Gu said, "Dad! I'll go too! I'm used to being busy at Xiaoni's house, and I'm familiar with the neighbors -"
Father Gu raised his old eyes and looked at Sister-in-law Gu calmly, "Although Xiaoni has her own yard, there are only a few rooms in the house. How can she live there if they are all gone?"
"One more thing, you all ran away to the city, who will do the work at home?"
"Do you want me to do it? Or do you want your mother-in-law to do it?"
"If that's the case, none of you should go, just let your mother-in-law go into the city."
"She is Xiaoni's biological mother. She takes care of her daughter justifiably, and she is even more dedicated!"
When Father Gu spoke, his tone contained an obvious warning——
He still has the final say in this family.
Even if the wings of the son and daughter-in-law are stiff, they must be obedient.
Because, in addition to being the head of the family, he is also Gu Xiaoni's biological father!
If you want to take advantage of Gu Xiaoni, you must first coax Gu’s parents and Gu’s parents, otherwise——
Second Sister-in-law Gu was so shrewd. She heard the threat in Father Gu's words, endured the reluctance, and nodded in agreement.
Huh, this time I got the big and four-bedroom apartments at a low price first.
After a year and a half, we will rotate again.
Or, there is no need to wait so long, just in case the eldest daughter-in-law and the fourth son's family cheat and offend the sister-in-law.
hey-hey--
Sister-in-law Gu & Fourth Wife-in-law Gu: ...You think we are stupid! Don’t worry, we will definitely seize the opportunity and perform well!
