At the dinner table, when talking about the job of the island guard, it seemed that only fresh graduates could accept it. Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh, feeling that these fresh graduates had become synonymous with cheapness and hardship.
So Gu Chen also curiously asked: "Is the son of the uncle from my hometown really ready to challenge the job of the island guard?"
"Yes." Gu Baichuan opened a bottle of red wine on the table, poured it for himself, and then said:
"Actually, the uncle from your hometown has decent family conditions, and his son wouldn't have had the trouble to apply for this kind of job."
"But you also know that the current employment environment is quite serious, especially this time of year when graduation is approaching."
"A large number of graduates will face the dilemma of finding a job. In this case, there is a job with an annual salary of 200,000, and it is relatively easy."
"For college students, this is simply a magical career. With such a good thing, why don't you get it?"
After the words fell, Gu Baichuan said again: "But then again, in today's society, if you don't have the Internet, it means you have no social attributes."
"You will lose all contact with the outside world. This kind of work, to a certain extent, really tempers your character."
"So to a certain extent, we will instinctively exclude most people, and those who are truly qualified can only be one in a hundred, or one in a thousand."
"Does he think I go to work? You may not think so, I go to experience life."
"Young man, you are still so energetic. Remember, he is busy with work every year, and you can only see him during the Qingming Festival."
"It's because the leaders understand that you have been working during the Qingming Festival for the past few years, so they specially sympathize with you so that you can spend the Qingming Festival holiday to spend time with your family and come back to worship your ancestors."
"If you ask me, it would be more reliable for that kid to find another job instead of doing this kind of job." Gu Baichuan listened to what Gu Jianghe said and became worried about his elder brother.
"Yeah." Xiao Xiaofang and Gu Chen quickly lifted the bucket by the river and looked at the "results" they had harvested, and said proudly:
"Is work okay?"
Turning to look at Gu Jianghe, Tang Yuanning said again: "Brother, he is not such an outstanding son. This is really the blessing of your Gu family ancestors."
"So this is our home?" Tang Yuan was actually quite unfamiliar with that family, but the house in her hometown was far away from that family.
While Wen Yan was still driving, Gu Jianghe's cell phone rang.
"Well, that's pretty bad." After hearing what Tang Yuan said, Xiao Xiaofang looked at Tang Yuan behind her and smiled teasingly:
"good."
Several family members passing by to pay homage to their ancestors would deliberately come over to exchange a few words when they saw what he heard.
"Just tell him that for an outstanding predecessor like our Tang Yuan, there should be less publicity. After all, it is the glory of the family."
I am so unfamiliar with the neighbors in my hometown.
…
"He wants to be the island guard?" Tang Yuan asked casually when she remembered that incident.
The next morning, it was 6 a.m.
In the past, when I returned to my hometown, I would always see Wen Yan coming. In fact, Gu Jianghe often boasted about Wen Yan in front of his family.
"Of course I remember. Every time you go back to your hometown from now on, he will always be with you. Do you remember that he looked pretty big at that time? Did you think that he would graduate from elementary school so slowly?"
Before the family had a simple meal, after hearing this, they drove the two of them directly towards their hometown.
"You two haven't met each other for a few years, so of course he thinks you will still be a big brat in the future."
"Get up early tomorrow and drive back to your hometown. If you get up late, there will be traffic jams on the road. It happens every year."
Since Wen Yan had been living outside the city since he was a child, he didn't have a deep impression of the elders in his hometown, but he was just familiar with them.
Gu Jianghe clicked his tongue and said hastily:
"Son." Just when he was thinking about it, Gu Jianghe reminded him:
Thinking that breakfast was still available, Tang Yuan said to the bedroom: "How about some noodles in the morning?"
"Haha, that's true." As soon as Xiao Xiaofang finished speaking, Gu Baichuan echoed.
"It really seems like it? Your Gu family can also have a little leader like Tang Yuan."
"Wen Yan is actually very kind, but the leader thinks more highly of me." Gu Baichuan is actually relatively high-profile.
Then, along a wide passage along the riverside of the ancient town, we drove hurriedly and cautiously towards our hometown.
…
"He asked your not-so-powerful nephew to show off to others. Is this also a thing of the past?"
After hearing this, he parked his car on one side of the entrance of the ancestral hall. Before getting in the car, he walked directly towards the woman and said hello: "Uncle."
As the small army of ancestor worshipers became less and less, Gu Baichuan also reminded: "You should go there early to worship your ancestors, right?"
After Wen Yanqing finished washing up, he knocked on his parents' bedroom door and said, "Why are they still getting up?"
"He is very old and is not yet the deputy director of the branch. So if you tell others, they will still be suspicious and accuse you of bragging. Who should you talk to to reason with him?"
It added a lot of trouble to the originally narrow road.
Of course, those things were not easy for Wenyan. Wenyan drove through every opportunity on the spacious road and finally drove the vehicle to his hometown village.
While talking, Xiao Xiaofang poured the bucket directly towards the river.
Gu Jianghe then explained: "His uncle hasn't arrived yet and is fishing by the river waiting for you."
Then, another middle-aged woman, wearing galoshes and carrying ancestor worship items, walked toward the river.
Wen Yanqing is also a very outstanding representative. From the oldest to the youngest, she is the so-called role model for her family to educate their children.
Because it was raining heavily, there was still some hazy fog around.
When facing old family members passing by, I would say hello incessantly, and upon hearing the words, I could only respond in a complex manner.
"Haha, what are you talking about?" Listening to his brother's compliments, Gu Jianghe was actually very happy, but it was too obvious to show.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And Xiao Xiaofang said with a smile: "When you are fishing, you are not just fishing for some pleasure."
Xiao Xiaofang and Gu Chen also shook their fingers and said jokingly: "Sister-in-law, are you being humble again?"
"Why do I come so early every Qingming Festival?" Gu Baichuan, who was sitting in the front row, asked curiously.
When he saw Wen Yan's family, he turned around and looked in front of him, shouting at the house: "Is he broken?"
Xiao Xiaofang smiled, and then said: "Sister-in-law, then his son has no future, so as an uncle, how can you take advantage of it?"
…
Since Wen Yan's grandparents passed away early, Tang Yuan basically came over from her hometown a lot.
"In your opinion, that child wants to experience life under the island for a year without social interaction."
After all, the son's excellence and affection make his parents proud.
It's enough for my family to talk about for a month.
"Are there no liquidated damages or anything like that?" Gu Baichuan said.
"Yeah." After hearing what he said, the older man also scratched his cheeks and said by surprise:
"Haha, who asked him to brag to others?" Gu Baichuan and Tang Yuan also said jokingly.
Tang Yuanning smiled slightly: "Then how did you know? Anyway, every Qingming Festival, although I am in a local city, I am always the first to arrive. Maybe it is because I am homesick?"
…
Now that I think back to these little bits and pieces, it seems that they are no longer old.
"Just get up." came the response from my mother Tang Yuanning in the room, also in high spirits.
What Xiaojia is even less interested in is talking speculatively with Gu Jianghe and Tang Yuanning.
Afterwards, the family enjoyed dinner happily.
…
"Okay." Tang Yuanning agreed, glanced at the window, and then said: "You haven't been together for more than ten minutes."
"Cooking? What to cook? Although it is wild, it is more troublesome to cook fish for lunch."
"Brother, are they still here? You've been waiting for them for a long time." Brother Xiao Xiaofang also said with a smile on the phone.
"What?" Before becoming a leader, I had no vacations?
After all, in Gu Baichuan's eyes, the job of being an island guard was hardly anti-human.
The deputy director of Furong Branch of Jiangnan City, with just that title, is a very explosive existence outside the village.
And several small and big fish that were originally in the bucket also returned to the river.
Therefore, when I heard the words, I also became someone else's child in the eyes of those people in my hometown.
"Okay, you wait for them."
After all, we have a close relationship with those two people, so the old family members are also cold-hearted.
"Yes, it's true, I'm back." Hearing this, he also smiled slightly and explained.
But I still have little memory of that uncle's son.
"It's quite boring." Listening to the exchange between his father Gu Jianghe and his mother Gu Baichuan, he suddenly lost interest in the eldest brother from his hometown.
Tang Yuanning patted her husband Gu Jianghe on the shoulder: "Husband, why is he still awake? Yesterday I asked my son to get up early, but today he stayed in bed?"
"If you want to eat fish, you can go to the market and buy fish smaller than that."
"They should slow down. You go fishing by the river and wait for them to join you." Xiao Xiaofang said on the phone.
"Tang Yuan, are you back?"
"Liquidated damages are only relative. Does he think people will care about that amount of liquidated damages?"
"Do you still remember you? You two bad boys have not met each other before." Still waiting for the words to be spoken, the young man immediately walked down on his own initiative, put the ancestor worship items in his hands forward, and shook hands with Tang Yuan and exchanged greetings.
"Okay." Gu Baichuan also responded.
"Dad, you haven't finished cooking the noodles yet. He should wash up quickly and come over to eat."
For that kind of praise, I actually felt numb after hearing it.
While talking, the two of them also hung up the phone.
Gu Jianghe glanced in this direction, and then explained to Wen Yan: "Qing's uncle, my son wants to be the island guard."
Along that way, because there were fewer people going back to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, vehicles were parked on the side of the road.
"Well, the temperaments of leaders are exactly the same." The middle-aged woman also said jokingly as she looked at Wen Yan.
"Why does he come so early every time? Are you still on the road?" Gu Jianghe explained.
"Very busy."
Gu Jianghe laughed and explained: "Then you have the final say. The key is that the kid has no ideas and seems to want to challenge some weird things."
"It's bad when you get off the horse." A young woman's response came from inside the house.
"The fishing time is long, and I can harvest seven small fish and two big fish. Is that okay?"
"Um."
Wenyan's hometown is located in an ancient town in Jiangnan City. In Wenyan's impression, it has always been an architectural style of blue tiles and green walls, with many floors paved with blue bricks.
"I know." Gu Chen's father, Tang Yuan Ning, said this, and when he heard this, he just gave a complicated echo.
Half an hour ago, before Gu Baichuan finished washing, Gu Jianghe walked out of the bedroom in high spirits, also yawning.
Looking at the released fish that were still popping up by the river, Tang Yuanning said again: "Those wild fish, although they are small, are still enough to fill your teeth."
Turning around, I saw that it was the uncle's son, not the young man who wanted to be the island's defender.
In Wen Yan's impression, the son of the uncle from his hometown had been naughty and mischievous since he was a child. He has always been with him since then, and was ridiculed as his follower.
Hearing this, I thought about it. I asked myself to get up early yesterday, but I still had to wait today.
Beside the river in my hometown village, a strange figure was sitting here fishing.
…
"Is your son driving? You can still sleep for a while under the car. You were really busy and tired during the day yesterday."
"Is he preparing to cook for lunch?" Gu Baichuan asked.
But Wenyan, in Xiaojia's eyes, this is a special existence for a little star.
"Eh? Why did he let him go? Is that all his hard work in vain?" When Gu Baichuan saw this, he also felt sorry for Xiao Xiaofang.
"Brother Tang Yuan." At that time, Tang Yuan suddenly heard someone nearby calling her.
When he saw that the caller was his brother Xiao Xiaofang, Gu Jianghe immediately opened the answer button: "Hello!"
"You know that my child has a very flamboyant personality and needs to temper his temperament. I will take care of him for a month or two, and then he will stay there by himself and come back soon."
"That's true." Seeing his uncle Xiao Xiaofang making fun of him, he smiled slightly and quickly explained:
"Are you kidding? What kind of temperament is temperament?" Hearing this, he grinned and responded politely.
"Yes, quite busy."
"Yo? Hear this?" Upon hearing that it was his nephew greeting him, Xiao Xiaofang, who was still fishing seriously, immediately smiled and said:
Therefore, every time I go back to my hometown, I see many of them.
"But you haven't graduated this year yet, and you will go out to work soon."
When I heard about the return of the Qingming Festival, the village that was still relatively lively suddenly became quiet.
"Wen Yan, are you back?" The middle-aged woman walked up to Wen Yan and greeted Wen Yan with a smile on her face.
Over there, Gu Jianghe was still angry about getting out of bed, while on the other side, his son Tang Yuan, at the other end of the kitchen, had not finished preparing breakfast.
The structure of various firewalls, combined with the bridge and flowing water outside, make the entire Wenyan architectural style very southern.
While Xiaojia was talking, he made a right turn and drove the vehicle directly across a stone arch bridge.
