Chapter 40: The Daily Life of the Brigade
In the five county guest houses, Lu Fang's expression was not very good.
"Didn't we anticipate their reaction long before we came?"
Song Xiangdong comforted his wife, "This shows that they really love Baozhu, although Baozhu grew up in the countryside, it is not bad at all, we should be happy." ”
"Moreover, you think, the pearl and the jewel are all the meaning of the pearl in the palm of the hand, which means that the two sisters are fateful."
They have always known that there is a serious preference for sons over women in rural areas, and that many rural girls have to help the family work when they are not old.
When they knew that the child had been swapped, it was really a bolt from the blue.
What they fear most is that their own daughter will be abused, and they will not be able to eat and clothe themselves, but the reality is the opposite of what they imagined.
The biological daughter lives a very good life, and is spoiled by the Gu family, even if there is no rich material life, she is very lucky.
"They treat the orb as if their eyes hurt, and we should understand this reaction."
Lu Fang nodded when she heard this, when she first learned the truth, her first reaction was like this, but she could understand it.
As for Mingzhu, no matter what, she is her own daughter, and this will not change from beginning to end.
"I know what you think, but our situation is different."
The Gu family is different from what they imagined, the four sons of the Gu family, each of whom has a future, and they want their two daughters to raise together, which is unrealistic.
The best thing to do is for the two families to go as relatives, and the two children take turns living in the two families.
"Beijing is the capital of Xia Kingdom, but also the political and cultural center, in Beijing two children can receive the best education, I hope that both children can stay in Beijing to go to school."
She admits that she is selfish, but this is also really for the sake of the child, and she doesn't think the Gu family will disagree.
"You forgot our previous investigation?" He felt that his wife had obviously walked into a misunderstanding, and it was necessary to talk to her about it, otherwise it would be easy to do bad things.
"What?" Lu Fang frowned, could it be that she ignored something?
Song Xiangdong shook her head helplessly, she really forgot.
"As far as our investigation is concerned, although Baozhu is only fifteen years old this year, it will be the second year of high school after the start of school, and the second half of next year will be the third year of high school, and then she will be able to take the university entrance examination in a year.
"It's just waiting for two years, can't you afford to wait this time, why don't you make your child unhappy."
Obviously, according to what they investigated, their daughters are very capable of learning and are very assertive.
If it is a blind competition, it is likely to arouse her disgust, and the gains outweigh the losses.
When Lu Fang heard this, she instantly understood her husband's plan, if it was two years, she could indeed afford to wait.
The Gu family and his wife will definitely not go to Beijing City together, and when the time comes, they will always be close to their daughter.
Lu Fang reacted and couldn't help laughing, "Old Song, it's worthy of you!" ”
"Comrade Lao Lu, you are dark under the light, and you have not reacted."
Song Xiangdong laughed, "Okay, it's not early, go to bed first, and talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Okay!"
As everyone knows, Gu Hongyi and Zhang Xiuying of the Qingshan Brigade are also discussing this matter, and it is obvious that this matter is not denied by them, so it can be treated as if nothing happened.
At this moment, they were glad that their daughter did not come back with them, and if their daughter knew about it, they would not know how sad they were.
When Zhang Xiuying woke up the next morning, both eyes had thick dark circles, not only her, but also Gu Hongyi.
The husband and wife looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Xiuying simply made a breakfast, and after eating it hastily, she went out with a hoe.
A year ago, the household responsibility system was implemented, and the Qingshan Brigade divided the land according to the capitation, and there were many family members, but not much land was allocated.
That's because the four sons of the Gu family are all workers, and their hukou has long been transferred out, so they don't have much land, and only the land of the two elders and the youngest daughter of their family is allocated.
As soon as Zhang Xiuying came out, she met her sister-in-law Zhang Cuihua, who was also working in the field, and Zhang Xiuying was grateful to her sister-in-law.
When her husband joined the army, she left their orphans and widows to live in the Qingshan Brigade.
If it weren't for the help of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the five of them might have survived until now.
"Sister-in-law, hasn't your family's land been harvested, why do you still have to work in the field?"
"It's done, it's all done, it's just to go to the field and loosen the soil by the way." Zhang Cuihua has a loud voice and a hearty temperament.
"By the way, burning all the straw in the field can also fertilize the land, and I hope that the harvest will be better next year."
"That'll do fine." Zhang Xiuying nodded, straw is a good thing for fertile land, and it can't be wasted.
Zhang Cuijuan looked around, leaned over and asked carefully, "Brother and sister, you had a guest at home yesterday, I was embarrassed to come to the door, I heard that you still dropped something, what's the matter?" ”
It's not that she gossips, but that she cares.
The old man said this morning, let her ask her younger siblings.
If something happens to the second family, they can help somewhat.
Over the years, the second family has helped them a lot, and she is not unclear.
If something really happened to the second family, she would definitely be the first to come to help.
Zhang Xiuying's expression froze, and she reluctantly pulled out a smile, "It's nothing, it's just a little misunderstanding." ”
Before she was sure, she didn't want to tell anyone, not even her sister-in-law.
"It's okay!"
Knowing that she didn't want to say, Zhang Cuijuan was not reluctant, and asked instead, "How is Changsheng, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Zhang Xiuying silently breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "The boss has woken up and said that he will be able to walk on the ground after a while." ”
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Cuijuan made an Amitabha Buddha gesture with a happy face.
"If there are no soldiers for them to kill the enemy outside, how can we have a peaceful birthday for our people, Xiuying, your boss is a good one."
"Don't worry, good people live a long life." The common people are quite admirable for being a soldier, and Zhang Cuijuan's words are not adulterated at all.
Zhang Xiuying nodded, with a grateful face, "Sister-in-law, then I'll borrow your auspicious words!" ”
In the end, the two separated at the fork and went to work in their respective fields.
Seeing Zhang Xiuying working in the field, many people next to her came over to chat.
In addition to greeting Gu Changsheng's injury, the gossip about yesterday was all diverted by Zhang Xiuying.
Seeing her like this, they knew that they couldn't ask anything, so they simply didn't ask.
I heard that she followed her to Beijing City, which made this group of old ladies envious.
Especially the mother-in-law of Gu Daqiang's family, her eyes were about to pop out with envy.
"Sister-in-law Xiuying, have you gone to Tiananmen Square?"
"Sister-in-law Xiuying, you are really blessed, we don't know where the capital is, you actually went to the capital city, I really envy you, have you seen the Great Wall, and what else, what is the Forbidden City, right, it is the Forbidden City?"
"Sister-in-law, tell us what the capital market is like, we heard the two educated youths from the capital city say before, I heard that the capital city is good, it is the largest city in our Xia country, isn't that the case?"
"Sister-in-law, tell us a good ......"
A group of people surrounded Zhang Xiuying and asked her to tell her what she had seen in Beijing.
