In the evening, my father and Zhang Cuifen came back from the factory, both of them looking tired.
As soon as the two of them entered the house, the aunt was very attentive, fetching fruits and moving stools, as if she regarded this place as her own home.
"Guoqiang, Cuifen, sit down and have a rest and eat some melon. This is grown in my land. It was planted early and it's very sweet." The aunt said enthusiastically.
Zhang Cuifen's memory of this aunt still remains during the Chinese New Year last year. At that time, her aunt was not as warm and kind as she is now. She and Zhang Aimei even mocked her.
"Oh! When did Auntie come?" Zhang Cuifen put down the melon with a faint expression on her face.
"We just arrived in the evening, haven't we finished the farm work at home? I miss our mother and brother, come and have a look." After Ling Hua finished speaking, he persuaded Ling Guoqiang: "Guoqiang, try it quickly, my sister brought it.
Come here, didn’t you like to eat melon the most when you were a kid?”
Ling Guoqiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try." Ling Guoqiang took a bite of the melon, seeming to be reminded of his childhood. His face was a little moved, and he sighed: "The taste is really similar to what I had when I was a child. It's so sweet.
!”
"We were so poor when we were young! You two complained that you were hungry every day, and my sister felt really sorry for you, so I went to the public fields to steal melons for you to eat. I almost got caught, and my sister was scared to death."
When she talked about her childhood, she felt a bit like an eldest sister.
"Yes! At that time, eldest sister, if you had any delicious food, you would eat it first, and you couldn't bear to eat it yourself." Dad looked moved when he said this.
Dad sighed again, time is not forgiving!
During dinner that night, my aunt told my father that she wanted to stay a few more days to stay with grandma and help her.
"I won't bother you, eldest sister, if I help. You can spend more time with our mother!" Dad knew that eldest sister came at this time, not just because she missed him and grandma.
He knew it well.
When the aunt saw what Ling Guoqiang said, she didn't say much. Anyway, she had plenty of time and her feet were still on her body, so she couldn't control her.
After dinner, except Ling Xiaowei who went back upstairs to do her own business, everyone else gathered in the room to watch TV.
Auntie saw the TV set during the day and felt envious for a while!
Now when I see the program on TV, I can't help but say to my grandma: "Mom, you are really enjoying yourself as the youngest. This evening is not boring anymore. There is a TV to watch. Unlike us, we don't even have a radio."
"
Zhang Cuifen felt uncomfortable after hearing what her aunt said. She was here to cry for poverty.
Of course grandma heard it, but she didn't respond to her words and pretended to be absorbed in watching TV.
In the evening, after everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Zhang Cuifen was in bed and said to Ling Guoqiang: "Guoqiang, why do you think my aunt came here so well?"
"What do you think it's for!" Ling Guoqiang whispered.
Zhang Cuifen was overjoyed and said, "You know it in your heart!"
"What do you think? Go to bed early! There are still many things to be busy with tomorrow! My eldest sister will go to the factory tomorrow. Please be careful and don't let her break important things." Ling Guoqiang warned.
Zhang Cuifen nodded, knowing what she was doing.
In another room, Ling Hua was talking to his mother about things at home, about the hardships of his two sons at home, and about the hardships of life, which made her feel sour in her heart.
Among her children, the fourth child used to have the most hardship. Now that the fourth child has opened a factory, life is getting better. But now that she thinks about it, the eldest child has become the most miserable one.
But this life was hers to live. She had a bad life, so who could she blame? After a while, grandma fell asleep amidst her aunt's cries.
The next morning, my aunt got up early, cooked and cleaned. She was very attentive, like a hostess, and did all the work that was originally done by Zhang Cuifen.
Zhang Cuifen suddenly didn't know what to do.
When someone wanted to help, she couldn't say anything. After all, she was still a relative and a guest.
Ling Xiaowei looked at this without saying a word. After breakfast, she took Mingming to the factory with her drawing book in her arms.
She is going to the factory today to find fabric and start preparing sample clothes. She really has no control over her aunt's affairs.
After being busy until noon, the aunt finally came to the factory. As soon as she arrived, she was shocked by the atmosphere in the factory. She secretly sighed in her heart, this is not at all like the small workshop mentioned by Zhang Aimei!
For such a large factory, it is really eye-opening to see the dozens of machines in the workshop, the ten workers who are busy all the time, and the mountains of clothes.
This factory must make a lot of money every year! When she thinks that this money has nothing to do with her, Ling Hua's heart starts to feel sour and unbalanced. No, why should his brother earn more money than those two bastards?
And that Zhang Cuifen, what the heck, a shabby guy is enjoying all this wealth!
The more Ling Hua thought about it, the more unwilling he became! Zhang Aimei was really useless, she didn't find any loopholes.
Just wait! She will definitely not let everything in the Ling family be handed over to others.
Ling Hua walked around the factory and was polite to everyone he met, smiling and saying words of concern. He also calmly told everyone that he was Ling Guoqiang's eldest sister.
She didn't stay in the factory for long. After saying hello to everyone, she left, saying she was going back to make lunch.
Her performance in the factory is really flawless and she looks like a good big sister.
After Ling Hua left, discussions began in the workshop, and everyone praised Ling Hua for his excellence.
"Cuifen, you, my eldest sister, look nice!"
"Much better than your sister-in-law."
"I don't think so. If this eldest sister is good, why did she come to the factory now? She didn't come when it first opened!"
Ling Xiaowei raised her head and glanced at the person who said this. It was Wang Juan from the fifth group. She was a sensible person and took note of it!
What this worker said quickly aroused the echo of other female workers.
"Okay, stop gossiping about my family and do your job well!" Zhang Cuifen said.
"We have been busy here for more than a month. We haven't even had a day off and we have to work overtime at night. When will this end?" a female worker complained.
"What are you complaining about? If you feel tired, stop doing it. There are many people out there who want to do your job!" Wang Juan told the truth again.
The complaining female worker immediately refused to speak and said hurriedly: "I'm either complaining or just saying casually, I wish I could work more overtime, make more clothes and get more money!"
"I know you're still saying that," another female worker joked.
Zhang Cuifen glanced at Ling Xiaowei, Xiaowei must have heard what everyone just said!
I don’t know what Xiaowei is thinking.
Ling Xiaowei listened to everyone's words! She felt it was time to share the good news with everyone.
After lunch, Ling Xiaowei talked to her father about going to Jinling to participate in an exhibition in July, and confirmed the list of participants.
