Gu Changshan suddenly got angry at the dinner table, frightening the whole family, especially the two children.
Because Gu Changshan is usually a very gentle person, and he has never lost his temper, whether towards family members or outsiders.
Na Cunhua knows her husband best. She knows that the recent list of suspensions without pay put by the farm director has put Gu Changshan under a lot of pressure. The eldest son's sudden "rebellion" ignited the explosive bag in Gu Changshan's heart.
Now only Song Liuxi can say a few words.
"Changshan, let's talk about anything you have to say. We can't discuss anything as a family."
"Master, I'm sorry, I spoke too harshly just now." Gu Changshan sighed and said to the children, "Let's eat first."
Gu Zhaoxi took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, but when he saw that no one else moved, he put them down again.
Wang Gang gave Gu Zhaoxi a piece of pickles and said, "Eat more."
Gu Zhaoxi and Liang Fengqin looked at Gu Changshan again.
"Eat." Gu Changshan took a big bite of the bun.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was not right, Cunhua said to Wang Gang: "Zhaocheng, your dad didn't mean to hurt you, he did it for your own good. The job in the forest farm is stable, and your dad and grandpa are taking care of it. It is definitely better than wandering outside."
.”
Wang Gang nodded silently, indicating that he understood, but did not say that he would obey Gu Changshan's arrangement.
The family finished their meal in a dull manner, Liang Feng diligently cleared away the dishes, and Gu Changshan ran to the yard and sat down, full of thoughts.
"Auntie, let me wash the dishes! You take a rest first." Liang Fengqin is not very old, but she has already begun to take on housework, as she said, "The children of the poor will be the masters of the family early."
"Put down the bowl, you don't need to wash these dishes." Na Cunhua said so, but did not let Liang Fengqin wash the dishes.
"Mom, I went to Uncle Liang's house to watch cartoons." As Na Cunhua's own son, Gu Zhaoxi had no intention of helping.
"You just know whether you have finished your homework while watching cartoons or not." Na Cunhua grabbed her youngest son's clothes and scolded him.
Gu Zhaoxi rolled his eyes and said immediately: "I have finished my homework long ago."
"Really?" Na Cunhua glanced at Liang Fengqin suspiciously.
"Fengqin, have you finished your homework?"
"Not even close." Liang Fengqin shook his head.
Cunhua turned his head angrily and roared at his youngest son: "Feng Qin studies better than you. He hasn't even finished his homework yet. You really have finished it."
Seeing that he couldn't be deceived, Gu Zhaoxi begged, "Mom, Saint Seiya is about to start. I made an appointment with Feng Ju to watch it together. I'll come back to do my homework after I finish it."
When Na Cunhua heard this, she was so angry that she pointed at her youngest son's nose and cursed: "What the hell is not shit, is it important to have homework?"
"It's Saint Seiya. One episode is shown every day. Mom, just let me watch it!" Gu Zhaoxi looked at his mother pitifully.
"You won't go anywhere until you finish your homework." Na Cunhua said angrily: "Fengqin, aunt gives you a task. Watch Zhaoxi do his homework. If he dares to go to your house to watch TV
, I must break his legs."
Liang Fengqin vowed: "Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely watch Zhaoxi finish his homework."
Gu Zhao was overjoyed to have an heir, so Na Cunhua kicked him in the butt.
Wang Gang and Chen Xingjie stood nearby, not daring to offend the angry Na Cunhua.
"Mom, you've been busy all day. I'll wash the dishes. You can rest!" Wang Gang took the initiative to take over the dishwashing job.
Chen Xingjie also said: "I'm here to help Brother Zhaocheng."
"No need." Na Cunhua stopped Chen Xingjie and said, "You have to take the college entrance examination next year, so you should spend more time reviewing. We will do the housework."
"It doesn't matter. I have pretty much reviewed today, and I also want to do other things to clear my mind." Chen Xingjie took the initiative to put away the dishes and chopsticks.
"Mom, Xingjie and I are here. We can get it done soon. You'd better go to the yard and see Dad!" Wang Gang said to Na Cunhua.
"I'm not angry with you." Na Cunhua complained.
Wang Gang was helpless. Na Cunhua and Gu Changshan didn't have enough foresight. They thought that jobs in state-owned enterprises were an iron rice bowl, but they didn't know that the wave of layoffs was coming soon.
However, Wang Gang also knew that it was not easy to change his parents' opinions easily, so he had to figure it out slowly before going out to work.
Wang Gang silently went to the stove to wash the dishes, while Chen Xingjie helped.
Na Cunhua glanced at the yard and ran to comfort her husband.
"Okay! Don't be angry. Zhaocheng also wanted to help lighten the family's burden, so he proposed to work elsewhere." Na Cunhua walked up to her husband and pushed him.
Gu Changshan's nose felt sour, he shook his head and sighed bitterly: "I'm not angry with Zhaocheng, I'm angry with myself. As the head of the family, not only can I not help my son, but I also want to make him suffer from me.
First, my career as a soldier was ruined, and now I have to go out to work again."
Cunhua sighed, knelt down next to Gu Changshan, and said, "Zhaocheng doesn't blame you, so don't blame yourself too much."
Gu Changshan's eyes were red and he said: "Zhao Cheng's ideal is to be a soldier. Seeing that he passed the physical examination, the people from the Air Force Recruitment Office also agreed to accept him. I never thought it would be because I failed the political examination."
"You also have your difficulties." Na Cunhua said angrily: "If you want me to say, I still blame the new director for letting you do such an offensive thing. What does the suspension of pay list have to do with you?"
Gu Changshan shook his head and said: "You don't know, I can't do it unless I take over this matter. The people in the list listed by the factory director are all honest workers who take care of their families. If they are really suspended without pay, how will they support their families?"
"
Na Cunhua snorted coldly: "This new director is a thief. He doesn't want to offend anyone, so he picks the weakest ones."
"The field director also has the same difficulties as a field director. Suspension of pay and employment is a task issued by the superiors, and there is nothing he can do about it," Gu Changshan said:
"Actually, I've been thinking, if it doesn't work out, I'll just put my name up, so as not to offend both parties." Gu Changshan discussed with his wife.
"You're crazy." When Na Cunhua heard this, he immediately punched Gu Changshan on the shoulder and said, "Our whole family depends on you to support us with one salary. If you suspend your job without pay, what will we eat?"
"I have hands, feet and strength, so I can't find a job." Gu Changshan said aggrievedly: "I have long been enough to be the captain of the work team."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Gu Changshan, let me tell you, if you dare to hand over your name, I will divorce you and take the children back to my hometown in the Northeast." Na Cunhua said anxiously.
Gu Changshan was startled and said, "Aren't I discussing this with you? Why are you so anxious?"
Na Cunhua snorted coldly and said, "I don't care, you can't lose your job, the whole family is counting on you."
"Okay, okay, why don't I just listen to you!" Gu Changshan coaxed his wife.
Cunhua's face looked much better. Gu Changshan interrupted: "Actually, do you feel that there is something different about Zhaocheng today?"
Na Cunhua asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"In the past, Zhaocheng, except when he was a soldier, never had any ideas of his own. He listened to whatever I said and never dared to disobey me." Gu Changshan said thoughtfully.
"It's normal for children to have their own ideas when they are older!" Na Cunhua said.
"No." Gu Changshan frowned and said, "Zhaocheng is the most filial and obedient, and he is even a little too polite to me. Sometimes I think that we really don't look like a father and son."
Na Cunhua heard the meaning behind her husband's words and joked:
"Zhaocheng is disobedient. Do you feel like a father and son?"
Gu Changshan chuckled and said, "I know Zhaocheng is filial, but the more polite he is, the more I feel that he doesn't treat me as his father and treats himself as the son of this family."
Cunhua sighed inwardly, how could she not know what was wrong with her son.
She married Gu Changshan with her eldest son. At that time, the eldest son was already an adult and knew that Gu Changshan was not her biological father, so he was always cautious at home. On the one hand, he was grateful to Gu Changshan for giving them a home for their mother and son.
More importantly, Gu Zhaocheng did not feel safe at home. He always felt that he was not Gu Changshan's biological son and would be driven away one day.
Especially after Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua's biological son Gu Zhaoxi was born, Gu Zhaocheng became more well-behaved and sensible at home. Not to mention disobeying Gu Changshan, he did not even dare to speak loudly.
The eldest son is indeed a bit strange today.
"Is it because he can't serve as a soldier and it stimulates Zhaocheng that he behaves like this?" Na Cunhua said.
"Maybe!" Gu Changshan shook his head, confused for a moment.
At this time, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old ran to the door of Gu's house and shouted to Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua: "Uncle, aunt, my mother asked me to bring some peanuts."
"It's Fengxia! Come in quickly."
When Na Cunhua saw the person coming, she immediately changed her smile, opened the courtyard door and invited the girl in.
The girl's name is Liang Fengxia, and she is Liang Fengqin's eldest sister.
"Aunt, is Brother Zhaocheng at home? I heard that he is drunk, so come and see him." Liang Fengxia carried a large bag of peanuts and handed it to Na Cunhua.
Na Cunhua took the peanuts without being polite. After all, the second daughter of the Liang family was still being raised by the Gu family, so it didn't matter if she took a few kilograms of peanuts.
"Zhaocheng is washing dishes in the house!" Na Cunhua said to Liang Fengxia: "Zhaocheng is very disappointed that he can't become a soldier. Just now he was thinking of going to work elsewhere."
Liang Fengxia's eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "Brother Zhaocheng also wants to leave the forest farm. What a coincidence. I have long wanted to work in Bianhe. Brother Zhaocheng, can you come with me? We can also have some care."
Na Cunhua and Gu Changshan looked at each other, and an idea came to their minds at the same time. If their son wanted to leave the forest farm to work, it wouldn't be for Liang Fengxia!
No wonder the couple would think so. Both the Gu family and the Liang family knew that Gu Zhaocheng had always had a crush on Liang Fengxia. If Liang Fengxia went to work in Bianhe, Gu Zhaocheng might go with her.
Originally, the adults of the Gu family and the Liang family did not interfere in the child's matter, but were happy to see the outcome.
If the young couple really goes to Bianhe together, the two families can rest assured.
"Fengxia, did Lao Liang and your mother agree to go to Bianhe?" Gu Changshan asked.
"Why can't my parents agree? They can't arrange a job for me. Our village is so small. If we don't go to Bianhe, how can I stay at home and dawdle?" Liang Fengxia said excitedly:
"I'm going to talk to Brother Zhaocheng about working. I have a classmate in Bianhe. She should be able to help us find a job."
After saying that, Liang Fengxia happily ran into the house.
Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua looked at each other again, and Na Cunhua spoke first: "You go and talk to Lao Liang, and I'll go and chat with Ma Xiaoyun."
"Okay." Gu Changshan ran towards the Liang family without hesitation.
"Slow down, bring some sauerkraut." Na Cunhua took two pickled cabbages from the sauerkraut jar as a way of repaying the Liang family's peanuts.
On the other side, Liang Fengxia ran into the house and saw Wang Gang and Chen Xingjie washing dishes on the stove.
"Brother Zhaocheng, Xingjie." Liang Fengxia blushed when she saw Chen Xingjie. She changed her fiery temper just now and suddenly became Xiaojiabiyu.
"Fengxia, are you here to see Brother Zhaocheng?" Chen Xingjie said with a smile.
The two used to be classmates, and they lived close together, so they had a pretty good relationship. However, Chen Xingjie got good grades and was admitted to high school, but Liang Fengxia failed.
Chen Xingjie's father passed away and his mother left him to work in Guangshen. During that time, Liang Fengxia helped him a lot, and Chen Xingjie has always been grateful.
"Ah! Oh, yes, I'm looking for Brother Zhaocheng." Liang Fengxia seemed to react and said:
"Brother Zhaocheng, do you want to work in Bianhe? Let's go together!"
Wang Gang actually wanted to go to Guangshen to work or go to Shanghai, but he didn't want to go to Bianhe.
At this time, Bianhe's development was far from being comparable to Guangshen Demon City.
But looking at Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua's intentions, it is impossible for him to go to such a far place. If he insists on going his own way, it may be counterproductive.
It would also be a good idea to cross over from the Bianhe River first.
Bianhe is only a hundred miles away from the forest farm. Although the transportation is inconvenient, there is a bus going back and forth every day.
No matter how you calculate it, Bianhe is also a city, and its development is countless times better than that of Dashan Forest Farm.
Wang Gang's ultimate goal is to leave the Gu family so that he can show off his talents.
"When are you going to leave? I need to discuss it with my parents." Gu Zhaocheng asked Liang Fengxia.
When Chen Xingjie heard what Wang Gang said, he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhaocheng, you really plan to leave home to work."
"It's impossible not to leave. There are so many people in the family, and it's too difficult to support them all with my father's salary." Wang Gang sighed: "It will only be harder for me to stay in the forest farm."
? Chen Xingjie's face darkened, and he said guiltily: "Brother Zhaocheng, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that your family is in trouble."
"It has nothing to do with you." Wang Gang patted Chen Xingjie on the shoulder and said, "I have never left the forest farm in my life, and I also want to see the outside world."
? Chen Xingjie advised: "Brother Zhaocheng, my mother wanted to leave the forest farm all day long and go work outside. I'm worried that you will be like her and never come back."
?"I won't." Wang Gang promised: "I still want to make money back and change the current situation of my family."
?The Gu family is too poor. Today’s dinner doesn’t even have any meat at all, it’s just steamed buns with pickled vegetables.
?It’s not that Wang Gang can’t endure hardship, but he is obviously capable, so why not live a good life and give his family another way to live?
"Brother Zhaocheng is right. I've heard it from people. The outside world is very exciting. Some people's monthly salary is more than what my father makes in a year. I must make a lot of money back." Liang Fengxia
Talk without shame.
?Wang Gang glanced at Liang Fengxia, who was full of self-confidence, and he didn't agree with it. He felt that with Liang Fengxia's ability, it would be difficult to make a fortune unless she was willing to go all out.
"Brother Zhaocheng, come with me to Bianhe tomorrow to meet my classmate and ask her to introduce a job." Liang Fengxia said enthusiastically.
?"Okay, let's go together tomorrow." Wang Gang said excitedly.
?"Then I'll go to the canteen and call my classmate first." Liang Fengxia said happily.
Wang Gang frowned and said, "Since you're here, why don't you leave after taking a look at Feng Qin?"
?"I'll see her later." Liang Fengxia waved her hand and refused.
