Chapter 202: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature (14)
Gu Xiaoni is going to be a worker in the factory!
This news, as if it had wings, quickly spread throughout Gujiacun.
Folks, some are envious, some are jealous, and some don't believe it.
"Impossible! Gu Xiaoni is just a rural girl, and her husband's family kicked her out. How can she become a worker?"
If she had taken over her husband's duties, everyone would still understand.
But, “on your own”?
Haha, if Gu Xiaoni has no education and no special virtues, it is simply impossible.
In fact, not to mention outsiders, even the entire Gu family didn't believe it.
Gu Qingcheng didn't waste any time. He went directly to the millstone at the entrance of the village and ground several hundred kilograms of stone with one hand.
The Gu family and the villagers in Gujia Village were all stunned!
Then, no one disbelieved it anymore.
With this kind of strength, if you work as a porter in a factory, you can be as good as ten.
"I knew my Xiaoni was a promising person!"
Mother Gu's face was full of pride, and her heart was even more happy.
Brother Gu, Brother Gu and Brother Gu also giggled.
The daughters-in-law of the Gu family are still smart.
While Mrs. Gu was diligently picking up food for Gu Qingcheng, she said tentatively, "Xiao Ni, can you enter the factory if you are strong enough?"
"Your eldest brother is also very strong. The key is that he has studied at a high level."
High primary school is the level of the fourth and fifth grade of elementary school.
If this was said in future generations, it would definitely be a complete joke.
But in this era of extremely high illiteracy rates, high school students can also use it as a "diploma" to show off.
"And your second brother, he also has a lot of strength! The main thing is that your second brother is smart and can learn everything quickly!"
Second Sister-in-law Gu said anxiously, not wanting to be left behind.
Gu's fourth daughter-in-law also opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Gu's father: "Okay! Stop talking! Xiaoni hasn't entered the factory yet, and she hasn't established herself yet."
These words seemed to be scolding the daughters-in-law not to make things difficult for others.
But then, Father Gu changed the topic and said, "When Xiaoni does well in the factory, she will naturally remember her brothers at home!"
As he spoke, Gu's father looked at Gu Qingcheng closely, "Xiao Ni, are you right?"
Gu Qingcheng nodded, "Yes!"
She does support her brothers in the family.
In the previous world, she was willing to take care of even the best people like the Zhao family, let alone her biological brothers in this life.
Although the Gu family in this world does not love their daughter as much as the Gu Butcher in the previous world.
But it's not too bad.
People's hearts are inherently biased, and the preference for boys over girls is a "rule" that has been followed for a thousand or two thousand years.
There is no way around it. Men have inherent advantages over women when it comes to serving as soldiers, working in the fields, etc.
In today's rural areas, having more men means more strong labor force.
Only with strong labor force can we earn work points and have food and money.
This is closely related to survival.
Gu's father and mother also feel sorry for their daughter, but they have to rely on their son to support them in their old age.
Therefore, if the son lives well, they can also live a better life.
"I will go to the factory first to learn some skills. Once I have mastered them, I will come back and hand them over to my brothers."
"When the time comes, we will have the confidence to recruit workers in the factory if we have the technology!"
Gu Qingcheng said very generously.
Everyone in the Gu family was ironing and happy after hearing this.
This is a good daughter (good sister).
Moreover, Gu Qingcheng agreed so neatly and had thought out the implementation plan in advance, so it was difficult for the three Gu family brothers to raise excessive conditions.
However, in private, Gu Laosi still found Gu Qingcheng: "Sister, look at my body, I really can't do heavy work."
My sister entered the factory with great strength.
It can be seen from this that workers in machinery factories still have to do heavy work.
When Gu's mother gave birth to Gu Laosi, she encountered a difficult delivery. Gu Laosi was born with congenital defects.
He is also the youngest son, and his parents, brothers and sisters also take special care of him.
Gu Laosi was raised to be a bit "squeamish".
He is also the only one among the four children in the Gu family who has finished junior high school.
After studying, I couldn't do heavy work. After school, I returned to the production brigade and found an easy job thanks to my father Gu.
However, Gu Laosi was unwilling to give in.
No matter how easy the work of the production brigade is, it is not as good as eating commercial grain in the city.
There was no way in the past, but now that my sister has a future, Gu Laosi can see hope.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the slightly frail appearance of his cheap brother, thought for a moment, and said, "What do you think?"
"...I, I don't know! Sister, you are the most powerful in our family, please help me think about it. I will listen to you!"
Gu Laosi has a very bachelor attitude, so he relies on his sister.
Gu Qingcheng nodded secretly: Yes, just be obedient!
"I see that there is only one health worker in the health center of our production brigade, but there are three villages in our production brigade."
The three villages combined have more than 1,300 households.
Serious illnesses will definitely not be treated in health clinics.
But if you have a headache, a fever, a cut or a burn, you will still go to a health center.
Gu Laosi can calm down after reading a book, so he can try to learn it.
"Hygienist?"
Gu Laosi's eyes lit up.
The hygienist is nice.
Even if he is just a barefoot doctor, it is better than working in the fields.
Sitting in the room, protected from the wind and rain, giving injections and prescribing medicines, the production team would record work points.
The key is that this is a craft that is useful no matter when!
"I will help you find a teacher, and you will learn first."
"Then, when I go to the factory, I will find a way to get you a place to study in the hospital."
After systematic training in the hospital, you will be qualified to practice medicine.
Even if you can't be a hygienist, you can still be a barefoot doctor!
Gu Qingcheng herself has the skills of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
But, Gu Xiaoni didn’t!
The character cannot be destroyed!
Moreover, in this life, Gu Qingcheng never wanted to rely on medical skills to make a living.
"Hey! Okay! Thank you, sister!"
Gu Laosi was almost crazy with joy.
I turned around and told my wife and biological mother the good news.
Gu's fourth daughter-in-law and Gu's mother were also very excited.
They looked at Gu Qingcheng as if they were looking at the tortoise in the wishing pool. Ah, no, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who responded to all requests.
Gu Qingcheng went around outside the village and established a relationship with Dr. Wei through the Su sisters.
Then, Gu Laosi began his secretive career in studying medicine.
"Xiao Ni, you are almost five months old. In five more months, it will be time to give birth!"
"You left the Qiao family and took care of your children alone. What should you do in the city?"
If the daughter is willing to support her brothers in the family and is not a blind wolf, the caring mother will be more loving.
She began to worry about her daughter.
"The house can be rented, but when you give birth to a child, who will take care of you?"
"And Qiao'er, who will watch over you?"
Seeing Gu's mother's concerned look, Gu Qingcheng didn't care at all whether this "maternal love" was mixed with selfishness.
She would just accept it happily and follow her mother's words and say, "Confinement period is indeed a bit troublesome."
"Oh, what are you afraid of! There is still mom, and we sisters-in-law!"
Sister-in-law Gu and the other three sisters-in-law clapped their breasts.
If Gu Xiaoni said before that she "learned the skills first and then taught them to her brother", she was somewhat suspected of trying to make a big deal out of it.
However, Gu Laosi's successful apprenticeship gave Mrs. Gu and others hope.
This sister-in-law is really capable!
The key is that she is willing to support her mother's family!
This guy can handle it.
Such a sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Gu and other sisters-in-law are also willing to show intimacy.
Not only would they not object to their mother-in-law going to the city to take care of her during the confinement period, but they themselves were also willing to help.
Gu Xiaoni has three brothers.
Parents will be partial, let alone a younger sister.
Gu Xiaoni is the most promising person in the Gu family, so she is definitely not stupid.
She knows who is good to her and who is not good to her.
Just like Gu Laosi, when Gu Xiaoni got married, Gu's eldest brother and Gu's second brother just laughed and drank. This boy of fifteen or sixteen years old ran up to Qiao Jianguo and said harsh words -
"Qiao Jianguo, let me tell you! Don't bully my sister just because you are from the city!"
"There is someone in my sister's family! If you bully her, see if I dare to slap you with a brick!"
These words of Gu Laosi are more like a half-grown child who loves face and is acting stupidly.
But, to the ears of my sister who is about to get married, I feel confident.
Can Gu Xiaoni not be moved and not remember the favor of the fourth child?
"My sister-in-law helped the fourth child first, probably because of what the fourth child said back then!"
Secretly, Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu were muttering like this.
Second Sister-in-law Gu didn't say anything, and she had a small plan in mind.
She glanced at Sister-in-law Gu's big belly and was secretly happy: Sister-in-law should be a month or two older than her sister-in-law.
Mother Gu is a mother-in-law and cannot leave her eldest daughter-in-law and grandson to take care of her daughter.
Otherwise, this will be her lifelong talking point.
In the future, Sister-in-law Gu will be able to confidently say unfilial: "Go find your daughter! I will give birth to a child, but you will ignore me and go and serve your daughter."
"Now that you are old and unable to move, you need to take care of yourself, so why don't you come to me?"
Although the sister-in-law will not really ignore her mother-in-law, because she has this excuse, she dares to beat her and curse her in front of her!
Gu's mother is not a fool. She knows how to choose between a daughter-in-law who can provide for her in old age and a married daughter.
There is no one to take care of my sister-in-law.
It just so happens that she, the second sister-in-law, can go!
She helped her sister-in-law when she was in such a difficult time, and her sister-in-law would definitely be grateful.
Moreover, with this "kindness", Sister-in-law Gu will feel more confident and confident when she asks her sister-in-law for help, as it should be!
At this time, she heard Gu's mother talking to her sister-in-law about giving birth to a baby and confinement. Gu's second sister-in-law didn't say anything in front of her elder sister-in-law.
When no one was around, she found Gu Qingcheng and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I will go to the city to serve you when the time comes!"
Gu Qingcheng curled her lips: Yes, this is a family that "loves each other"!
It doesn’t matter what one’s deeds are about one’s heart. On the surface, it’s okay, so why worry about whether someone is sincere or not?
"Okay! I know my sisters-in-law love me!"
The second sister-in-law is willing to serve the confinement child.
As for the sister-in-law, she also knew her situation and did not dare to make random promises. She asked her husband to pack some vegetables and dried mushrooms, and put them in bags for Gu Qingcheng to take back to the city to eat!
