Chapter 216: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature (Twenty-Eight)
"Gu Xiaoni is my sister! My name is Gu Daniu and I am her brother!"
Brother Gu vaguely realized that his sister's life did not seem to be as difficult as they imagined.
She works in a machinery factory and seems to be quite happy.
Brother Gu thought so and told the truth.
"Are you Master Gu's biological brother? Born to the same mother?"
The doorman's eyes widened and he looked up and down at Brother Gu.
Brother Gu:......
A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, which had been tanned by years of hard work.
Well, he knows that he is not as good-looking as his younger sister.
In fact, not only him, but also the other three brothers of the Gu family all have average looks.
Only Gu Xiaoni is the best-looking person in the Gu family.
Not only did she combine the most beautiful parts of her parents, it is said that she also inherited her grandmother's good looks from one generation to the next.
Grandma Gu is a famous beauty from all over the country.
He is tall and tall, with white skin. When he got married, he wore a bright red cheongsam. He looked stunning and elegant.
It's a pity that Grandma Gu's children all have the same appearance and size as Grandpa Gu, who looks ordinary.
Ahem, Grandpa Gu’s genes are very strong. His children are like him, and so are his grandchildren.
Only Gu Xiaoni finally lived up to Grandma Gu’s good heritage.
In the past, Gu Xiaoni was a village beauty.
After several years of eating fine food in the city, I became more and more picky.
The last time "Gu Xiaoni" came home, the Gu family and the people in the village were almost dumbfounded.
The whole Gu family has deep doubts: Is such a beautiful girl really the son of our old Gu family?
Of course, they were just muttering in their hearts rather than really questioning it.
Because just looking at Gu Qingcheng is indeed incredibly beautiful.
But if Gu Qingcheng was in the same frame as Gu's father and Gu's mother, everyone could still vaguely see some similarities between them.
"Yes! My biological eldest brother! Born to one father and one mother!"
Brother Gu nodded firmly.
"Oh, Master Gu was invited by the 28th Factory to provide technical guidance, and he is not in the factory!"
The guard was a bit confused.
If it were any other ordinary worker, he would be done with just saying this.
If the person is not in the factory, come find his family members and either wait or go back.
Gu Qingcheng is different!
That is a master respected by leaders.
Her brother came all the way, but she couldn't dismiss him with just a word.
"Comrade, why don't you wait a moment and I'll find someone to go to the workshop and talk to you."
The guard greeted Brother Gu enthusiastically into the house, and he called a worker, "Xiao Sun, hurry up and go to the workshop to have a look. I remember that when Master Gu left, he still kept his apprentice!"
When the worker named Xiao Sun heard "Master Gu", he didn't refuse and hurried to the workshop.
Brother Gu:......
He was restless and his mouth began to feel dry.
This, this, what exactly is going on?
Although Brother Gu was very confused, he had an inexplicable hunch that his little sister seemed to be quite popular in the machinery factory.
Not long after, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old ran over.
"Oh, brother, are you my master's biological brother?"
Facing Brother Gu, a man who obviously dressed up as a country boy, the young man had no pride at all as a city citizen.
He is warm and considerate, as if the person in front of him is his big brother.
Brother Gu nodded quickly, "Hey! Hey! My name is Gu Daniu, and I am Gu Xiaoni's biological eldest brother."
"I, I wasn't worried about her, so I came here specially to take a look, and even brought her some home-cooked food."
Brother Gu was a little at a loss and couldn't speak smoothly.
It didn't look like he was looking for trouble, and he did have something on hand. The young man and other employees in the machinery factory were sure that this man should be Master Gu's brother.
Still quite kind.
It's not a poor relative who came to fight against the autumn wind after hearing that Master Gu was taken seriously.
The young man was even more clever. He seemed to be chatting, but in reality he said: "Brother Gu, you don't know that my master has changed his position, right?"
"ah?"
Brother Gu looked confused.
Not to mention knowing that Gu Xiaoni had changed jobs, he didn't even know what Gu Xiaoni was doing in the factory.
All he knew was, "Xiao Ni said that she would learn skills well after entering the machinery factory!"
Once you learn it, you will teach it to him.
But the young man's eyes lit up. Oh, these words match up with his master's experience!
Her master was a porter when he entered the factory, but he always used his spare time to go to the workshop to learn skills.
In one week, I will become better than my predecessor!
The young man felt more and more that Brother Gu was trustworthy and should not be the one who used the tiger's skin as a banner.
"By the way, where is Qiao'er? I just heard someone said that she went to another factory. What should Qiao'er do?"
Brother Gu didn't pay attention to the young man's reaction, he was still immersed in his own thoughts.
He missed his sister and the poor niece who had lost her biological father.
After hearing that Brother Gu also mentioned Qiao Qiao, everyone felt more and more trustworthy about him.
"Qiao'er is in the Yuhong class! When school is over, we little apprentices will pick her up!"
The young man took Brother Gu's things diligently and said, "When the master left, he left me the key to his home. Come on, let's go home!"
The young man cheered enthusiastically, but he was secretly thinking: How should I call the master's brother?
It's definitely not possible to call him eldest brother. He's too senior.
Calling you "comrade" is too unfamiliar and not conducive to building closer relationships.
Could it be that he's called Master? But it doesn't sound right.
How about calling me uncle, uncle?
The man in front of me seems to be in his thirties, barely a few years older than my eldest brother.
The young man was troubled in his heart, but his attitude was very respectful.
Brother Gu was even more at a loss.
He is just an old farmer who works hard. He occasionally goes to the city and is used to being looked down upon.
This is the first time he has been treated like this.
I'm so flattered.
Brother Gu started to walk with the same hands and feet.
The young man seemed not to notice and continued to lead the way enthusiastically.
After leaving the machinery factory, we passed by a small three-story foreign-style building, and then came to a small courtyard with a single family.
Click!
The young man unlocked the door with the key and opened the black carved iron door, revealing a spacious but exquisite courtyard.
There are grape trellises, clusters of flowers, and a cobblestone path.
At the end of the road are three spacious houses with red bricks and black tiles.
Brother Gu just felt that his eyes were not strong enough.
Especially when he walked through the alley and came to the door of the main room, looking at the foreign-style furnishings inside, he didn't dare to step in.
"Please come in quickly!"
The young man didn't seem to notice Brother Gu's confusion and continued to greet him with a smile.
"This, this is my Xiaoni's house?"
It's not much worse than the bungalows in movies.
As a countryman, he had never seen such Western-style leather sofas, fireplaces, carved tables and chairs, etc.
"It's a house rented by the master. However, the factory is currently discussing how to allocate a house to the master!"
When the young man said this, his eyes were full of envy and pride.
Although he still does not enjoy the high benefits of his master, he has already surpassed his peers by being able to become his disciple.
As long as he cherishes the opportunity and works hard to learn skills from his master, sooner or later he will be as powerful as his master!
"A rented house? It costs a lot of money, right?" Brother Gu sat carefully on the sofa and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it but not daring to touch it.
"Ten yuan a month! However, the master's salary is higher!"
The rent of ten yuan is definitely not low.
But the master’s benefits are high.
Moreover, in addition to the salary from the machinery factory, when the master is invited by other factories to provide technical guidance, he will also be given a certain "subsidy".
The specific amount, they apprentices don't know.
However, the apprentices who can go on "business trips" with their master can each receive three to five yuan each time.
The apprentices had a rough guess in their minds - say two or three times less, and they could turn it over five or six times more.
Once you go out, you can earn dozens of dollars in extra money.
In the last week, the master has been invited twice.
Behind the scenes, there are still many factories lined up.
With his skills as a master, he can earn hundreds of dollars a month at least.
The ten yuan rent is really nothing to the master.
Not to mention, in order to retain the talent of their own master, the factory is discussing allocating rooms to her.
Maybe, this yard will really come under the name of the master in the future!
Brother Gu:......
ten bucks?
Their family has so many strong laborers who work hard for a year, but when they divide the money at the end of the year, they only have more than a hundred yuan.
My little sister, renting a house costs more than 100 yuan a year!
This this!
Brother Gu's outlook on life has definitely been impacted.
But soon, a bigger impact came again.
In the evening, when it was time for Qiao Qiao to leave school, another young man diligently sent him back.
"Uncle!"
Qiao Qiao is young, but she can already remember things.
Moreover, she only followed Gu Qingcheng back to the Gu family last month.
She still has fresh memories of her grandparents, uncle, uncle, and uncle in the Gu family.
When I saw Brother Gu, I was stunned for a moment, and then I recognized him carefully, and then I jumped over to him while shouting happily.
"Hey! Qiao'er is so good! Let uncle hug you!"
In fact, Brother Gu doesn't dote on Qiao Qiao that much.
First of all, Brother Gu is a traditional big man, and men are somewhat patriarchal, and they also care about embracing grandchildren rather than children.
Brother Gu would not be too close to his own daughter.
Secondly, Brother Gu and Qiao Qiao don't get along much.
We only met one month ago.
The feelings between people are all created by relationships.
Even if they are blood relatives, they cannot get close to each other even if they meet occasionally.
However, Brother Gu suffered too many "shocks" today, and his whole person was in a state of uncertainty.
After finally seeing an "acquaintance", Brother Gu instinctively wanted to get close to him.
And the most important point is that these people who claim to be Master Gu's apprentices treat Qiao Qiao very thoughtfully and meticulously.
The "atmosphere" is so well rendered that Brother Gu, a cheap uncle, actually thinks his nephew is a lovely little baby!
Brother Gu:......
Realizing his abnormality, Brother Gu couldn't help but shake his head:
Don’t blame me, you can only blame this world for being too magical.
