Chapter 19 Calling Gu Changfeng
Uncle Shen yawned repeatedly, "How would I know that? If you have so many questions, go ask your parents. It's time to go to bed."
He didn't care about these things. One more person in the family was one more person. He had his own food rations anyway and he didn't have to eat other people's food. Why should he think so much?
In the second house.
Li Caixia thought about it and felt that it would be good for Gu Jiandong to live in their home. "Xiangnan, Gu Changfeng's son lives in our home.
There should be a lot of packages coming in the future, and we can get a share of them, so if we think about it this way, we are getting a good deal."
In fact, it’s good to have one more person at home.
Uncle Shen looked at his wife approvingly and said, "My wife is really smart.
Now that people are here, don't say anything that your parents and Shu Yu don't like to hear. No matter what, you have to do a good job of pretending. "
"You don't need to tell me that. I know what I should and shouldn't say..."
Three bedrooms.
As soon as Uncle Shen entered the house, Liu Pandi complained to him about how partial his parents-in-law were, how excessive his sisters-in-law were, and how vicious his niece was.
"Xiangxi, how come you, as a father, don't stand up for Xue'er at all? Xue'er just wants a piece of cloth to make clothes, and it's not like you don't have any cloth at home.
The piece of Dacron in my hand can at least make two pieces of clothing. Why can't I give a piece to Xue'er?
And the eldest and second sisters-in-law only know how to stir up trouble all day long. That damn girl Shu Yu doesn't act like a sister at all.
He bullied Xueer every day, relying on his own strength to pick up Xueer at will. Xueer then fell to the ground. It was so painful that her buttocks were swollen.
As for building a house, the first and second wives both have sons, but my third wife can't even afford a house.
My parents would rather let an outsider live in the house than let Xueer live in it. What kind of people are they?" Liu Pandi was dissatisfied with everyone in this family.
Uncle Shen was very annoyed when he heard these words. "The fabric was not bought by mother, but sent to Shu Yu by her uncles. What right does Xue Er have to ask for it?"
The eldest and second sisters-in-law have always been like that. You know Shu Yu's temper. How can I stand up for Xue Er?
Why don't we three have a share of the adobe house? It's because you can't even give birth to a son. If you could give birth to a son, your parents would build us ten houses, not just one.
You keep talking about other people's faults, why don't you think about yourself? Xueer was so sensible when she was little, but now she is growing up and becoming more and more unreasonable. It's all because of you, her mother, who spoiled her.
Okay, stop nagging like an old lady, I'm going to sleep."
Liu Pandi sat on the edge of the kang, speechless. In the end, her husband still blamed her for not being able to give birth to a son.
Doesn’t she want to have a son? She also wants to, but what can she do if she can’t get pregnant!
Liu Pandi sobbed quietly, which annoyed Shen Xue who lived in the inner room, "Mom, please stop crying, it's too noisy."
Her buttocks were swollen and burning with pain, so she could only sleep on her stomach because she was very tired.
She just wanted to fall asleep quickly so that she wouldn't feel the pain.
She finally managed to fall asleep, but her mother's crying wiped out her sleepiness.
Shen Xue even wants to eat people.
……
Shen Shuyu had a good dream. At seven o'clock, she stretched out her body and went out of the house. She washed up and had breakfast. She said to Old Lady Shen, "Grandma, I have to go to the county town today. I need to call Uncle Gu."
There were many things in the letter that were inconvenient to write, so Gu Changfeng wrote them very obscurely.
Shen Shuyu thought about calling Gu Changfeng to tell him that she had received the letter and that the Shen family would take good care of Gu Jiandong when he went to the countryside.
The brigade headquarters was also equipped with a telephone, but the signal was not very good, and it was difficult to say a word. Sometimes I had to shout until my voice became hoarse, and I could only hear what was said on the other end of the phone.
It’s easier to go to the county town and make the call.
Old Lady Shen went back to the house and got the money. "Okay, okay, talk to your Uncle Gu and tell him not to worry. As long as Jiandong goes to the countryside, I will make sure he is fat and healthy."
Liu Pandi rolled his eyes secretly. She was white and fat. Was she raising her like a pig? Even if the mother-in-law wanted to raise her to be white and fat, she had to have food to feed her.
Li Caixia touched her skinny face and said, "Mom, your daughter-in-law is so skinny, why don't you make me plump and white?"
She also wants to be raised to be plump and white.
Old Lady Shen sent her second daughter-in-law away. "The work points you earn are not enough for you to eat. It's good enough to have food at home. You still want to eat and be fat. Are you dreaming? Go, go, eat and go to work. You want to get involved in everything."
Shen Shuyu went out to ride a bullock cart and met many aunts, ladies and uncles on the way.
Shen Shuyu walked straight past them without saying hello. The original owner's personality was arrogant and domineering. It was good enough that she didn't bully others. If she said hello to others, they would probably be scared.
After Shen Shuyu walked away, the aunts gathered together and said, "The eldest daughter of the Shen family is really lucky. She doesn't have to do anything all day long. She either goes to the county town to hang out or goes to the mountains to play. This life is really unique."
"What a lucky life! She's just a lazy bastard. If my daughter was that lazy, I would beat her to death."
"That's right. She's as lazy as a maggot. I heard from the second girl of the Shen family that she's too lazy to even turn over in her sleep."
"Shh, you better keep your voice down. Don't let the eldest girl from the Shen family hear you. If she comes back and grabs your neck and throws you into the field, you'll know you're wrong..."
Shen Shuyu had no idea that the group of gossipy aunts were talking about her, and she had already gotten on the ox cart and was leaving Shenjiaba Brigade.
Shen Shuyu was the only one on the ox cart today. Shen Shuyu narrowed his eyes and looked as if he had lost all hope in life.
It was still a muddy road at that time. Not only was it bumpy, but it was also very dusty. When you opened your mouth and faced the wind, you would get a mouthful of mud.
When she arrived at the county town, her butt was numb from the shaking. She thought she should buy a bicycle as she really couldn't get used to riding a ox cart.
Shen Shuyu went to the post office, took out the note, dialed the number, and the phone rang for a long time before someone answered.
"Hello, I'm Gu Changfeng."
"Uncle Gu, I'm Shen Shuyu."
A clear voice came to the other end of the phone, and Gu Changfeng, who had been gloomy for several days, smiled a little, "Shu Yu, Uncle Gu was just about to call you, did you receive the letter?"
“Uncle Gu, you don’t have to worry, as long as Brother Jiandong goes to the countryside, our family will take good care of him.
Last night, my grandparents said that they would let Brother Jiandong live and eat at home, and there is no need to worry about his work. Just let Brother Jiandong cut some grass for the pigs, it won’t be tiring. "
"Thank you for the thoughtful arrangement. Uncle Gu is relieved when he comes to your brigade in the countryside.
Although your brother Jiandong has a brain injury, he is very obedient and strong, and can be asked to do any housework.
There will be a few large packages in a few days, as well as a passbook and some tickets. Remember to pick them up.
The package contains Jiandong's clothes and bedding. You can spend the money in the passbook as you see fit. Don't save it. You can buy whatever Jiandong needs.
Your Aunt Gu and I are not around, so please take good care of your brother Jiandong.
Shu Yu, Uncle Gu has been transferred to a new job in the northwest. If you have any problems in the future, please contact Uncle Zhou and the others..."
Gu Changfeng is not a talkative man. Now that his son is going to the countryside, the old father has a lot to say, fearing that he might miss anything.
