The next morning, Chen Xingling slept until three o'clock in the morning and still didn't get up.

Gu Qi still got up on time at half past six as usual, and went to the next door to wake up his son lightly.

Father and son washed up together and then went downstairs to clean up.

After a while, Zhao Xiaoxing and Gu Yi came.

The two of them went into the kitchen to make breakfast, and soon they were ready.

Gu Qi told Zhao Xiaoxing to leave some breakfast for his wife to warm on the stove, and reminded: "She is tired these days, let her sleep more." Sit down, we eat first. ”

"My sister-in-law is really tired these days." Zhao Xiaoxing smiled bitterly: "I can go back to rest at night, she works with Ma Dali from time to time until midnight." ”

Gu Yi munched on the bun, and the chopsticks gestured around.

"Is it possible to make such a big place from a wasteland like this without much effort? My eldest brother has to go to work, so he can't help much at all. Xiaohuzi is still too young to count on. My sister-in-law lasted from the beginning until yesterday, how could she not be tired! ”

Gu Qi ate silently, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Xiaohuzi muttered: "Uncle, I'll help my mother pull the grass and water the flowers." ”

"Okay, okay!" Gu Yi laughed and rubbed his eldest nephew's hair: "You can do it, you are great!" When you grow up, you can definitely count on it! ”

Little Huzi smiled proudly.

After eating, Gu Qi first took his son to Shuiyue Primary School on a bicycle.

Then, he led his bicycle into the shade of a tree in the corner of the garden, turned around and walked with his brother to work.

Gu Yi couldn't help but tease: "I thought that when you came, I could sit on the bicycle for a while!" ”

"It's close, just a few steps away." Gu Qi explained: "Your sister-in-law has to pick up Xiaohuzi from school later, maybe she has to go out, and the bicycle has to be left for her." ”

Gu Yi didn't care, and walked with his brother to the north gate of the shipyard.

"Brother, is Xiaoxing's work eyebrow-raising?"

Gu Qi turned his handsome face sideways and replied, "A friend introduced one, which is from the shipyard branch." It's a pity that the branch is in the next county, at least more than 40 kilometers away from here. It was too far away, so I didn't say yes. ”

"That's too far!" Gu Yi shook his head resolutely: "No, no, no." ”

Gu Qi continued: "A while ago, your sister-in-law asked a friend, saying that there was a shortage of a master in the canteen of a certain unit, and he was also a temporary worker, and his salary was a little more. ”

"Huh?!" Gu Yi asked suspiciously, "Why didn't my sister-in-law say it?" ”

Gu Qi explained: "Your sister-in-law said that the master in charge of the spoon is too hard, and it is okay to bake the fire in winter, but here in Yucheng, it is summer for two seasons a year, and most of the spring and autumn are hot, and it is too painful to lean on the fire for a few hours a day, so your sister-in-law refused." ”

Gu Yi nodded: "Yes, it's really too hard." ”

"There's no hurry." Gu Qi said: "It's hard to find a suitable job, so take your time." ”

Gu Yi frowned and smiled bitterly: "Brother, I also want to take my time." But—but our mom can't wait! She also scolded Xiaoxing for eating white food yesterday, and told me to pay my salary next month, and I was not allowed to spend money indiscriminately. ”

"Ignore her." Gu Qi said lightly.

Gu Yi sighed helplessly: "Mom said that the family just bought a bicycle for Ah Xuan and Ah Miao to go to school, and she is short of money on hand. also said that I couldn't help the family with a lot of money, and I didn't pay the small money, scolded me for having no conscience and only took care of my own small family, and scolded Xiaoxing for dragging me down. ”

Gu Qijian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his cold face was full of displeasure.

"I paid for the bike, and I fixed it to her every month for my family. I paid a lot of money, why do I want you to pay it? You tell her that if you have money, you will pay for it. At the moment, you and Xiaoxing still have to live, as long as she won't be hungry, just endure it for the time being. ”

Gu Xuan and Gu Miao went to Chongwen Middle School to study in high school, the eldest sister repeated her third year of high school, and the younger sister just signed up for the first year of high school.

The third year of high school started early, and Gu Xuan began to walk over, coming and going on the road for more than an hour every day, and occasionally even two hours.

She was a little weak, she didn't usually like to move, and she had a hard time walking at first.

The old mother yelled for him to take his sister to and from school every day, but he refused, saying that his sister usually lacked exercise, so let her move around more, which would be good for her health.

Gu Xuan didn't like to trouble other people, and agreed to go by himself.

The old mother turned around and scolded Xing'er, saying that she couldn't just build a house by herself, and she didn't care about the affairs of the family.

What else did they say that they had just moved over, and they were very unfamiliar with the streets and alleys of Yucheng, if Gu Xuan was accidentally lost and abducted and sold by gangsters, then she would not be alive.

Xing'er ignored the old mother, and deliberately took Gu Xuan around the path to Chongwen Middle School. There are private houses or other people's houses on both sides, and there are local residents who come and go, so you don't have to worry about bad people.

Gu Xuan was very uncomfortable walking at first, and he didn't dare to complain that his feet were sore, so he secretly boiled hot water to compress his feet every evening.

The old mother was so distressed that she shouted that she wanted to transfer her daughter to another school, and that he had to find it immediately.

Gu Qi explained that there is no middle school nearby, only a primary school. Even though Yucheng is a big city in the south and the local economy is prosperous, high schools are not available everywhere.

The old mother said that it was not good to be too far away, and even complained that Xing'er introduced it indiscriminately.

He couldn't listen anymore and explained that Chongwen Middle School was the best high school in Yucheng City, and the teachers there were also the best high school teachers in Yucheng.

Only two people in the third year of Chongwen Middle School failed last year, and they were finally admitted by supplement, and everyone in a class can go to college.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a great sensation!

The Yucheng Daily deliberately set up a separate page to report the good news for several days in a row, plus some interviews with principals or teachers.

Not long after the college entrance examination was resumed, Chongwen Middle School was able to achieve such excellent results, and it is definitely the best among the same schools!

The news spread one after another, and many people from nearby counties came to Chongwen Middle School to sign up, and some even stayed at relatives' houses, just to be able to study high school in Chongwen Middle School.

If Xing'er hadn't been familiar with the teacher over there and had registered Gu Xuan in advance, he wouldn't have been able to squeeze in at all.

I heard that there were a lot of people on the day of the registration for the third year of high school, and even some people's cloth shoes were squeezed out!

In the end, the principal considered the actual situation of the school, and reluctantly increased the number of classes by three classes, but he couldn't add any more stops, and persuaded many students from other places to quit.

When the old mother heard this, she could only sneer.

Gu Xuan didn't back down, explaining that her sister-in-law also walked at the beginning, and she could also walk.

The old mother hurriedly said that she would go by bicycle later, and asked Gu Qi to ask Chen Xingling to give the bicycle to her sister, because Gu Xuan urgently needed a bicycle now.

Gu Qi bluntly refused, saying that his wife was busy going in and out every day, and she had to use a bicycle, so she let her eldest sister walk for a month, and when it was exercise, he would discuss it with his wife and strive to buy a bicycle for his sisters.

He refused, and the old mother had no choice but to do as he said.

After Gu Xuan walked for a while, his spirit was much better, his face was no longer pale all day long, his cheeks began to appear red, and his appetite was much better.

"Your sister-in-law rarely spends my salary, and she doesn't use the money I save much, otherwise how can I pay more than 150 yuan to buy a bicycle at once." Gu Qi explained.

Gu Yi couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law agreed, right?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Qi replied: "I mentioned it to her, and she immediately agreed, saying that Chongwen Middle School is indeed too far away in the south of the city, and Ah Xuan and Ah Miao have to go over to study, so they should buy one and let them ride there." ”

Gu Yi couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "Sister-in-law...... That's generous. ”

"But Mom is still not satisfied." Gu Qi said in a deep voice: "Your sister-in-law and I contribute money and efforts, and she is still disgusted all day long." If you give her all your money, she will still be dissatisfied, and she will still scold you. I give her the salary just that, you don't have to. You take care of your little family for the time being, and it's not too late to give it to her when you have the spare energy in the future. ”

They are brothers, both financially independent, and now they each have their own small families, but he doesn't want to worry too much.

The reason why the wife's family is so harmonious is mostly because the brothers never care, and those who have the ability to pay more and try to take care of the brothers who are temporarily behind.

There is money to contribute, strong contribution, big and small things are discussed, never stick to small sections, and achieve a happy and united family.

For a family to make progress, it depends on working together to help each other, rather than bullying one's own family members and pulling each other's back.

Hearing the eldest brother say this, Gu Yi was relieved.

"Okay, then listen to you."

However, he was still a little worried that Zhao Xiaoxing's job was not settled.

"Big brother, why don't you ask your sister-in-law's maiden brothers and uncles - do you think it? They are locals, they know a lot of people, and they have a wider network than us. ”

Gu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can talk to your sister-in-law later." ”

"Okay!"
