Chapter 253 Life is not easy
After staying at Gu Siwei's house for a while, Liu Dezhu wanted to leave.
Gu Siwei said: "Stay and eat."
Normally, Liu Dezhu would never miss a meal. Even if no one told him, Liu Dezhu would try his best to finish the meal at Gu Siwei's place before going back.
But it seems to be different today. Liu Dezhu actually replied to Gu Siwei.
"No, I have something else to do."
Gu Siwei listened and thought about it for a while, but he didn't remember what happened to this boy. As for farm work and so on, there must be some. There is endless work in the fields, but this will not affect his eating. He also has to work in the fields.
For work, you had time before, but now you don’t have time?
"Brother Dezhu, what's the matter with you?" Sicui was also curious and asked.
Liu Dezhu smiled and reached out to stroke Sicui's head: "Of course I have something to do. I want to go to my wife's house. She still has some work to do at home, so I'm going to help."
"..."
Gu Siwei looked at him as if he had eaten honey, and he didn't have the nerve to say whether he was ashamed or not. He was already working at his wife's house while he was still there.
Gu Siwei didn't even think about himself. The things he sent to Hu Yanqiu's house were not enough. He and Liu Dezhu, the eldest brother, don't laugh at the second brother. They are all in the same boat.
"What can happen to her family? The crops in the field have been harvested for summer and the autumn grain has not yet come."
Sicui's grasp of the farming season was much better than Gu Siwei's, so she immediately asked about the idea.
Liu Dezhu said with a silly smile: "His family has a quota for Pahe. I'm going to do a favor. It may take a day or two. Don't worry, I will be back when Brother Siwei gets married."
Gu Siwei was speechless now. Pahe is very hard now. Although Gu Siwei has never been to Pahe, villages in the mountains rarely get quotas for Pahe. The main reason is that it is too inconvenient to get in and out, and they live in the mountains.
This person, in external terms, has a cunning personality and is difficult to control.
For example, the rural population outside will have the task of plowing the river as long as they are not busy. Some places are in charge of food, but some places are not in charge of food, so you have to bring food to plow the river.
I don't know how Liu Dezhu's father-in-law harvested the river. Gu Siwei is not sure, but this job has never been easy.
Sicui asked at this time: "Brother Dezhu, there is a man in your father-in-law's family, why don't they let you go?"
Even at such a young age, Sicui understands that Liu Dezhu's father-in-law is now looking for cheap people, and his son-in-law is half a son? Even if it is a half son, there is still a whole son in the family, so he can't feel sorry for his son-in-law and let his son endure hardships, so Liu Dezhu
This stupid son-in-law is now a free laborer.
Gu Siwei didn't know if Liu Dezhu understood it, but after thinking about it, even if he didn't understand, Liu Fulin didn't give it in vain. If Liu Fulin didn't let him go, Liu Dezhu wouldn't go.
Therefore, this matter can be regarded as Zhou Yu's beating of Huang Gai - one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
After thinking about this, Gu Siwei no longer felt sorry for the boy, and just said yes and asked him to go work for his father-in-law as soon as possible.
After seeing off Liu Fulin, Gu Siwei took a few sips of tea and then remembered that he still had things to do.
What's going on?
Didn't I help Zhao Fangming contact a job this time? Although there is no establishment and I can't become a worker for the time being, that's the way it is. It's already good if you have a career now. As for your development in the future, that still depends on
Zhao Fangming himself relied on Gu Siwei for everything. If Zhao Fangming had such a temperament, even if he killed Gu Siwei, he would not be able to do this for him.
"Sicui, let's go to Sister Qiu's house with me," Gu Siwei said.
Sicui stood up immediately after hearing this. She was happy to go out for a walk, especially with Gu Siwei.
But the girl asked curiously: "What are you going to do at Sister Qiu's house?"
Gu Siwei led her to the edge of the cliff and explained: "I found a temporary job for Zhao Fangming. Tell him to go early to avoid long nights and dreams."
Sicui didn't know what it meant to have a long night and have many dreams, and she didn't care about it either. She just said yes and followed him honestly.
Gu Siwei and Sicui took the boat all the way to the village, and stopped the boat directly in front of Sun Qiumei's house.
Sun Qiumei was drying grain in the yard at home at this time. When she saw Gu Siwei and Sicui coming over, she immediately stood up, grabbed the towel wrapped around her head and wiped the sweat, then smiled at the two of them.
.
"Siwei, Sicui, why are you two brothers and sisters free to come to the village today?"
Gu Siwei said: "I'll come over and talk to you two about something."
Sun Qiumei replied: "What a coincidence, Fang Ming is not at home today, he went out to run with Brother Shui."
When Gu Siwei heard the news, he couldn't help but pause for a moment. He had some questions but didn't open his mouth to ask.
When Sun Qiumei saw that there was something unclear about the expression on Gu Siwei's face, she explained: "Fang Ming means that we should find another way here and go through the factory outside."
What Sun Qiumei means is that Guo Shengshui is doing a good job in the factory here. It is understandable that he is not willing to share the profits with his own family. In this case, we will take another route. Firstly, the two families will not be harmonious. Secondly,
You can earn some money quickly to support your family.
But the problem now is that the factories in the mountains don't care about these messy things.
"Well, there is a job now. There is a small canteen in the factory over there that is short of a cook. Let Brother Fang Ming go over and give it a try. If he does well, he may stay. But first of all, he is not a formal worker, and
They are either workers or temporary workers, and they don’t get any money every month, maybe less than twenty yuan a month..."
Gu Siwei talked about the treatment in the canteen of Xu Congwen's factory. The money given is not much, but you know that you are working in the canteen.
As the old saying goes, the cook will not harvest the grain until he steals it!
You already work in the cafeteria, so it's not normal for you to bring something home from time to time. It seems that you don't get as much as a regular worker, but it depends on the individual as to what you can do with it.
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiumei perked up, looked at Gu Siwei, grabbed his arm, and asked urgently: "Really?"
"Really, why did I lie to you?" Gu Siwei said with a smile.
Sun Qiumei suddenly burst into tears.
Gu Siwei was so troubled by Sun Qiumei that he didn't know how to recover for a while.
Sicui also persuaded her, and the brother and sister persuaded Sun Qiumei for a while. They helped her into the house.
Sun Qiumei stopped talking, still sobbing and said: "I really don't know how to thank you, Siwei, really, we are in a hurry now and don't know what to do."
"Have you run out of food at home?"
Gu Siwei was a little surprised. Both of them had helped him, and Gu Siwei had given him a lot of food. It should be no problem for him to eat for two or three months. Why now when he heard Sun Qiumei say this, it seemed that
It's like the family can't open the pot.
Sun Qiumei said: "We haven't finished eating yet, but we can't just sit back and have nothing. We are idle at home all day long, and our hearts are also flustered. Now I can see Fang Ming getting up in the middle of the night every day, sitting outside without saying a word, and...
Even though I was sitting there most of the night, I was a little worried about him."
"..." Gu Siwei really didn't know what to say, but after thinking about it, it was indeed like this. The couple had just gotten married. Although Sun Qiumei was a second marriage, the relationship between the two was quite good from Gu Siwei's point of view.
Not bad.
Zhao Fangming has a very good personality. Although he doesn't talk much, he is very down-to-earth in his work. Sun Qiumei is not a coquettish woman either. Together, these two down-to-earth people really make a good match.
But with Gu Siwei's character, as long as there is food in the barn at home, he will not panic. Even if there is still a month of food left, he can be happy for half a month, and then think about what will happen in the next month.
They won’t be like these two couples who worry every day if they don’t have any income.
Pulling Gu Siwei and Sicui, Sun Qiumei thanked them all, which made Gu Siwei feel a little embarrassed.
After waiting for Sun Qiumei to calm down, Gu Siwei continued to talk about the matter.
"Then when Brother Fang Ming comes back, tell him and ask him to find Xu Congwen. I've written down the address here and just give it to him when he comes back."
Gu Siwei took the paper out of his pocket and handed it into Sun Qiumei's hands.
"Okay, okay!" Sun Qiumei couldn't help but nodded.
"Hey, Siwei and Sicui are here."
Gu Siwei was about to leave when suddenly someone arrived in the yard.
When I looked up, I saw that it was Sun Laijin, Sun Qiumei's brother.
Gu Siwei stood up, smiled at him, said hello and then sat down again.
When Sun Laijin entered the house, he was carrying a basket in his hand. In the basket was a bowl with a broken rim. In the bowl was steamed potato, the kind that was steamed with the skin on.
"Sister, your sister-in-law was afraid that you might not have eaten, so she asked me to bring you some food."
Sun Laijin put the basket on the table, pulled up a bench and sat down.
As soon as Gu Siwei saw the things in the basket, he felt a little disgusted. He felt that Sun Laijin was really not a thing. Your brother-in-law gave his job to your family, and in the end you gave your sister a piece of steamed potato? There was only one!
He is really stingy to the point of being stingy.
"You guys are talking about something, Sicui and I are back."
Gu Siwei didn't want to stay with such a person, so he stood up and left.
Sun Qiumei followed and took Gu Siwei to the entrance of the hospital. Sun Laijin also followed to the door with a smile.
Seeing Gu Siwei brother and sister get on the boat, Sun Laijin asked: "Sister, what is Gu Siwei doing here? Is he looking for you to work again?"
Sun Qiumei really knows her brother very well. As the old saying goes, no one should go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. If you come here today to deliver potatoes, it must be more than four potatoes. Maybe you saw Gu Siwei entering her home and found an excuse to come over.
He looks familiar in front of others.
As for why, it's even simpler. It's just because the Siwei family lives a good life.
Although she annoyed him, Sun Qiumei still said: "Siwei helped Fang Ming find a job."
"What kind of job?" Sun Laijin looked curious.
"Your family can't do it," Sun Qiumei said when she saw the expression on her brother's face.
