Chapter 447

Shao Le was very awkward at that time.

Carrying the things he bought for his adoptive parents, he didn't know whether to go in or retreat.

On weekdays, he and Shao Yonggang still got along peacefully, and could even sit together and have a small drink.

But in fact, this was only occasional, just to make the Shao parents happy.

After all, the two of them had nothing to talk about.

Talking about childhood things was like rubbing salt into a wound.

Talking about work, Shao Yonggang is now studying at night school, but he is still struggling. Plus, having children and a wife who isn't very capable, all sorts of messy things must affect his adaptation to the current environment.

How could he be as comfortable in his job as Shao Le?

However, being a worker in a workshop also requires technical skills.

So Shao Yonggang was arranged by Father Shao to be in the infrastructure team.

Considering the special circumstances, the higher-ups gave him a quota for a formal worker.

This was also out of care for Old Shao.

But the work he did in the infrastructure team also lacked technical content.

In the past, when the two sat together, whether chatting about family, their respective spouses, or even work, there was almost nothing they could resonate with, and it was even very likely they would step on a landmine.

So Shao Le basically doesn't stay here for meals anymore.

He will always remember the look in Shao Yonggang's eyes that time, filled with disgust, hatred, and displaced anger.

But he couldn't stop visiting altogether.

People who don't know the truth would call him an ungrateful ingrate. But if he went, and it was still this kind of situation, it would also be very difficult for Shao Le.

This time, there was no other way.

He bit the bullet and knocked on the door, put one of the bags in the foyer, and said directly to Shao Yonggang who walked over: "This is what Xiaoman gave us both. This is yours, and this is mine. Xiaoman said the contents are the same."

After all, having been siblings for so many years, hearing Xiaoman's name, Shao Yonggang was stunned for a moment, his eyes softened, and he said in a low voice: "Where are they now? Why didn't they come here?"

"Oh, she didn't come in. She and the younger brother left the things in the guard room at the entrance. She said the sticky bean buns inside were all made by her, and the bean paste had white sugar added, which is what you like to eat, but actually, I like them too."

Seeing that Shao Yonggang didn't have any feelings of resentment, the heart Shao Le had been holding in his throat relaxed.

For the Shao parents, these two sons basically didn't say a word when they were together.

It was the same at this moment.

Shao Le had no intention of going in. He smiled at the Shao parents sitting on the sofa: "Well, I won't go in. These sticky bean buns need to be frozen outside, and everything else seems fine. So, I'm leaving."

Although Shao Yonggang had never returned to the Wagouzi Brigade once, he felt uncomfortable hearing that Zhao Xiaoman and the younger brother had only stayed at the gate without coming in and had gone straight back.

He knew that the Wagouzi Brigade only had one horse cart, which would definitely not be given to them to use. They must have carried these two bags from the Wagouzi Brigade, set off before dawn, and walked for more than four hours to get here.

Now they must have gone straight back, otherwise, it wouldn't be safe on the road since it gets dark so early now.

He saw Shao Le out and couldn't help asking: "Is Xiaoman getting married?"

Shao Le nodded: "Yes, I plan to go there."

Shao Yonggang started rummaging through his pockets, but all his money had been taken by his wife.

Then he went back into the house.

Shao Le stood in the hallway, not knowing whether to leave or go in, feeling quite distressed.

Fortunately, Shao Yonggang came out quickly, handed 50 yuan to Shao Le, and said: "This is a little token of my heart."

Shao Le took the money, remembered what Lu Qiao had told him, and said with a smile: "I just found out too, Xiaoman can also use corn husks to weave all kinds of items."

Shao Yonggang's expression was gentle, and he said with a smile: "Yes, Xiaoman has been clever and dexterous since she was a child."

It's a pity she was born into such a family. If she had been born in this military-industrial compound, she would definitely have had a different future.

"Lu Qiao is planning to go with me. She has taken a fancy to the items Xiaoman weaves with corn husks. Of course, whether they are good or not depends on seeing the actual items..."

Shao Yonggang's brows slowly furrowed: "Actually, when the craft factory first started recruiting, Xiaoman could have been admitted as long as she took the exam, but she couldn't come; she had too many worries."

Shao Le also fell silent.

What Shao Yonggang said was the truth.

But he had special confidence in Lu Qiao. As long as Lu Qiao took a fancy to the items Xiaoman wove, Lu Qiao would definitely be able to think of a way to solve the difficulties.

Shao Yonggang watched Shao Le go downstairs. He leaned against the wall, thinking, if Xiaoman really comes to work at the craft factory, what will happen to Wu Ming?

Will Wu Ming's parents-in-law agree?

However, Xiaoman has always been calculating. Just like when she found out she was going to marry Zhao Di, she secretly found him and expressed that she didn't agree, telling him to wait and see.

But he was ultimately tricked and had to marry Zhao Di.

Bad bamboo produces good shoots.

Except for the one who is similar to Zhao Laolai, the other three have good character.

But he didn't want to associate with them either.

However, he knew Lu Qiao; she was the famous little Factory Director Lu of the 516 Military Factory.

If she could take a fancy to her, maybe Xiaoman could really turn things around.

If it really didn't work, he would go back to the village to persuade her.

Soon, the day of Zhao Xiaoman's wedding arrived.

Lu Qiao went with a mission, and she brought Fan Xiaoyu along.

Originally, she wanted to drive, but she didn't expect Qin Hengzhi to say that work wasn't busy today and he could accompany her. So they just used Qin Hengzhi's car.

Lu Qiao sat in the front passenger seat, and Qin Hengzhi drove.

Sitting in the back were Shao Le, Chen Zhi, and Fan Xiaoyu.

The trunk was loaded with the gift money from the neighborhood office.

Shao Le said from the back: "It was cloudy yesterday and they said it would snow, but the sky is clear now. It's quite nice today."

Fan Xiaoyu looked out the window, her eyes full of curiosity.

It was her first time going to the countryside to attend such a wedding, and she thought it would be a lot of fun.

Actually, weddings nowadays advocate simplicity, but what should be there will still be there.

Lu Qiao said: "The date was chosen well; it's warmer today than yesterday."

Chen Zhi also followed with a smile: "In a few more days, it will be the beginning of spring."

The group chatted and laughed, and it seemed like it didn't take long before they arrived at the Wagouzi Brigade.

There were children playing at the entrance of the village, and they were shocked when they saw the jeep coming, staring at this big iron machine.

An eight or nine-year-old child who knew Shao Le ran towards the village as fast as he could, shouting as he ran: "Zhao Xiaoman's own brother is here, Zhao Xiaoman's own brother is here! He came in a big iron car..."

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoman was feeling anxious.

Her own brother said he would come today, and that Comrade Xiao Lu would also come with him.

She was a child bride; actually, she just needed to register and complete the ceremony to consummate the marriage.

But now that the two unscrupulous parents of the Zhao family were gone, she returned to the Zhao family.

She sat on the kang, looking out the window from time to time.

The younger brother Zhao was also walking in and out of the room.

The younger sister Zhao protected the twenty-plus items woven from corn husks placed on the kang cabinet, not letting the children and others who were coming in and out of the room touch them.
