**********************************************************************
In fact, Qiu Dafu is not aimed at Wang Yusheng in everything, as long as it does not involve the three things of food, clothing and use, basically they are like two brothers, playing together, and often joining forces to deal with the children who want to bully them outside, even the parents and young sisters at home.
Maybe it was because he was born in a difficult era, and the poverty of material things made Qiu Dafu naturally greedy and selfish about life, and his mind was full of how to eat the best, use the best, and wear the best among the three siblings.
In this regard, Qiu Dafu, who is young at a young age, has a self-taught ability, and because he is the eldest son of the Qiu family, Qiu's father and Qiu's mother naturally prefer him.
In the context of the difficult times at that time, what was shown was nothing more than something good to eat, wear, and fun, and Qiu Dafu would always have more opportunities than his sister and Wang Yusheng.
The long-formed habits and the connivance of his parents have also taught him to look at his face and his ability to curry favor with his parents, which also makes his status in the eyes of his parents much higher than that of the other two children.
As for Wang Yusheng, when he was adopted by the enemy, perhaps the scene of his mother's hanging death was too tragic for him to forget, and his memory would always flash the appearance of his parents, so his little heart always had the impression that this was not his father and mother.
In addition, Wang Yusheng's character is very stubborn, probably inherited from his father who would rather be disposed of than compromise, he just can't kiss his father and mother, and he called them "uncle and aunt" at the beginning, until a long time later, the Qiu family never left him, and he finally called out "Mom and Dad", of course, this is already a later story.
Wang Yusheng and Qiu Dafu in their childhood are very similar in some ways, they both like to go to the factory where Qiu's father works together to pick up scrap copper and rotten iron that adults don't want, these are to sell to people who collect rags, so as to exchange a few pennies to Qiu's mother for a few cents......
They also like to hide by the lathe where their dad works, watching in fascination as he operates a machine that is mysterious to them......
Of course, they prefer to sneak out of the house when the adults are not paying attention or are not at home, and do everything they want, such as catching birds, playing with children, or stealing good food from the neighbors, or they both run to swim in the river, until the parents come home and find that no one is there, and they run back like rabbits in the midst of their mother's scolding.
However, this kind of friendship will always change when the parents bring back something delicious or fun, and at this time, Qiu Dafu's status in the Qiu family will naturally be revealed.
Qiu Dafu and his sister snuggled closely to their parents, eating first and playing first, while Wang Yusheng would compete for favor from the beginning to the end, as long as he encountered such a time, he would quietly climb on the high and low bed that belonged to him, and the bed above it was silent, until Qiu's father took the initiative to send him the share that belonged to him to the bedside in person.
After a long time, Wang Yusheng always felt that he was superfluous, but he couldn't do anything, and as he grew up, he already knew from the words of his neighbors, intentionally or unintentionally, that he was picked up and adopted by the enemy's family.
Wang Yusheng didn't know why he went to the enemy's house, what happened to his family before, and what relatives he had in the family, and this situation lasted until he was fifteen years old.
The notorious gang of four finally fell, and the people of the whole country cheered and rehabilitated many of those who were defeated in this incident, and Wang Yusheng's father was also one of them.
At this time, Wang Yusheng had begun to develop and grew into a young man, because his father was rehabilitated, good luck also befell him, when he was seventeen years old, his father's original unit first notified him that he would recommend him to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Academy, and said that after he graduated, he would arrange for him to take over his father's class.
Subsequently, his father's salary was also repaid, plus the pension for his mother, and more than 700 yuan was paid to him after miscellaneous calculations, which was a very large amount of money at that time.
Wang Yusheng knew that he was going to leave Qiu's family to go to college, so he only kept more than 200 yuan for himself, and handed over the rest to Qiu's mother.
The Qiu family was happy for him when they saw him come to the bitter end, only Qiu Dafu showed great dissatisfaction with Wang Yusheng getting all this, not getting all this himself.
But everything else can be done to him, but this one, even if he is dissatisfied, there is no way to compromise with him, and Qiu Dafu can only watch Wang Yusheng go to a completely different life path from himself from now on.
Qiu's mother didn't want Wang Yusheng's money, but she had suffered a lot of sins over the years because she adopted him, which everyone saw in their eyes, and Wang Yu's life and death forced her to accept it, so Qiu's mother reluctantly kept the 500 yuan.
Now that life is finally better, the future of the eldest son Wang Yusheng is already there, and what can I do with this heart-wrenching baby Qiu Dafu in my own family?
It happened that during that time, the army needed large-scale recruitment, and the Qiu family sent Qiu Dafu to serve in the army, which can be regarded as an explanation for his future.
It can be said that the two brothers of the Qiu family, who are not related by blood, have embarked on different life paths since then, and have also formed their own different outlooks on life, worldview, and money in their respective study and life and later work.
A few years later, Wang Yusheng was assigned to work in a food company after graduating from the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, but at that time he was required to start from the grassroots level, so on the first day he went to report, he was arranged to work in the slaughterhouse.
At this time, Qiu Dafu also ended his three-year career as a compulsory soldier in the army, returned home, and was assigned to work in the cement factory in S City.
After many years, the two brothers got together again, Wang Yusheng did not return to Qiu's house, but applied for a single dormitory in the unit, and for a long time, he became the best place for him and Qiu Dafu to renew their old relationship.
It was at the age of ten **, and they were all doing relatively hard work, coupled with the experience of growing up together, which made that period of time the most intimate time in the lives of the two brothers.
Every day after work, the two of them would return to Wang Yusheng's dormitory, eat in the cafeteria together, take a bath in the bathhouse together, and then secretly listen to the so-called glamorous sounds together.
Not long after, Wang Yusheng was transferred back to the food company as a cashier, and the cement factory where Qiu Dafu worked required workers on the production line to start working three shifts because the product was in short supply.
One has become a cadre sitting in the office, and the other has become a worker who has to work shifts every day, doing dirty and tiring work, this time, Qiu Dafu is unbalanced again.
In the relationship between him and Wang Yusheng since childhood, he has become accustomed to overpowering Wang Yusheng in everything, and Wang Yusheng has been picked up by Qiu's father and mother because his life has been picked up by Qiu's father and mother, plus he has been educated by adults since he was a child, and he should be humble to his younger brothers and sisters when he is an elder brother, so he always has a forbearance and obedience to Qiu Dafu.
But the fate of the two people has been arranged long ago in that special era, and it is impossible to transfer with Qiu Dafu's will, even if he can't accept it, he can't change this situation.
Seeing that Wang Yusheng was enjoying the blessings of his father's generation smoothly and steadily becoming a national cadre, while although he came back with a layer of gold plating in the army, he could only work in the cement factory as a dirty and tired worker who had to work three shifts, Qiu Dafu's heart was really not good.
However, at this time, he did not show this imbalance, after all, they had just returned to their hometown from other places to work, and the freshness and enthusiasm for work had not disappeared, plus after he worked three shifts, there was a difference between Wang Yusheng's rest time, and the contact between the two brothers gradually decreased.
After all, the working environment of the agency is much simpler than that of the factory and mine, and Wang Yusheng in this environment is down-to-earth, hardworking, conscientious and responsible, and has quickly been recognized by the food company.
And Qiu Dafu has been a little passive because of his resistance to work and feels that this kind of heavy work should not be done by people like himself, but the factories at that time were all eating big pot rice, so he was out of place with the surrounding environment, and it was not very obvious.
At the same time, in getting along with the workers, Qiu Dafu, who already likes to use his brains, has increasingly developed a character that likes to calculate and make small calculations.
At that time, the food company was a relatively oily and watery unit, and often distributed some sugar, oil, flesh and fruit and other things, and at such times, Wang Yusheng always cared about the enemy's family, and often sent all the food distributed by the unit to the enemy's family in large packages.
The Qiu family was very satisfied with Wang Yusheng's character of knowing kindness and repaying kindness, not to mention that the things he sent were very affordable and useful at that time.
But the more he did this, the more unbalanced Qiu Dafu's mentality became, but on the surface they were still very good brothers, and sometimes Qiu Dafu was really jealous, so he found an opportunity for Wang Yusheng to invite him to dinner or buy him something.
For his requests, Wang Yusheng always agreed with a good temper, and once again made Qiu Dafu taste the feeling of being connived up, so he became even more serious, and often ran to Wang Yusheng to rub food or simply take his things and leave.
Wang Yusheng actually knew all about his small abacus and small actions, but he always had the psychology of repaying his kindness, so he never told the Qiu family or Qiu Dafu, he actually knew it.
After more than a year, Qiu Dafu finally couldn't bear the hard work of three shifts in the factory, and took advantage of the opportunity of the country's reform and opening up, he applied to the factory for leave without pay, and under the leadership of a few friends, he was ready to go to all parts of the country with them to buy low and sell high reselling activities.
