~15 min read 2,921 words

Gu Chan was scrubbing the bed sheets, heard her sister-in-law's words, pondered for a moment, didn't be formal with her, "Fine, I'll use it during the week, and leave it for you on the weekend."

She wouldn't use it for nothing; she would express her gratitude elsewhere.

In the future, she would be a person with a job, and it would be convenient to buy anything.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan was full of strength, swinging the bed sheet, making a *su-su* sound.

"Eldest Sister, how is Brother-in-law?" Lin Zhao asked about Wei Xiangdong's situation.

"The doctor said he's recovering very well, he just needs to be properly nourished." Gu Chan's face no longer showed worry, her eyes shining; one could only say work was a person's courage.

"Slowly nourish, it will eventually be nourished well." She looked at Zhaozhao gratefully, "The medicine you sent is very effective."

Not to mention, her sister-in-law also sent nutritional supplements from time to time.

Nourished like that, it must be useful.

"It's also because Brother-in-law has a good physical constitution." Lin Zhao said sincerely.

Gu Chan smiled, just the physical constitution is left.

She washed the bed sheets quickly, and while there was still sun, she hung them in the courtyard to dry, looking at Lin Zhao, "Zhaozhao, are there any dirty clothes left?!"

Just as she finished asking, her eyes caught the bamboo basket beside the washbasin, lifted the lid, and saw the clothes inside were full, looking like they were all the children's.

"Are these all to be washed?"

Lin Zhao didn't deny it, "Hmm. Just changed yesterday, came back too late and didn't wash them."

"Guessed it." Gu Chan said, "Was yesterday smooth? Yubao and Hengbao didn't say anything, right?"

She casually threw the dirty clothes into the basin, started rubbing, and chatted with Lin Zhao.

"Asked about you." Only asked one sentence, and the two cubs were led away by other things.

Gu Chan's face was full of smiles, "I had something to do yesterday, and knowing Mom was helping, I didn't come over. I didn't forget Yubao and Hengbao's birthday gifts, I brought them today, hope it's not late."

"Not late." Lin Zhao thought of the twins' reaction and couldn't help but laugh, "No matter when they receive gifts, it's never late for them."

"Hahaha, as long as it's not late."

Just as they were talking, a clear child's voice came from outside the front gate.

"Mom, we're back!!"

The person hadn't entered the door before the voice was transmitted in.

Little Stone rushed to the door, and seeing Yubao and Hengbao, a smile bloomed on his face.

"Yubao brother, Hengbao brother." He called softly.

Hengbao was stunned for a moment, "Stone brother, you're here, did Stone brother and Eldest Aunt come?"

While speaking, he pulled Little Stone into the house.

Once inside, he saw Gu Chan washing clothes, and washing theirs at that.

Immediately, he revealed a brilliant smile.

"Eldest Aunt, thank you for washing our clothes."

The smiling face of her own nephew made the heart of the eldest aunt feel warm.

Gu Chan said dotingly: "Why be so formal, leave the dirty clothes in the future, Eldest Aunt will come once a week and wash them for you."

She knew that Zhaozhao didn't spoil the children, letting them do whatever they could do themselves, and she felt heartache watching it.

Yubao washed his hands, took a twisted dough stick and shared it with the second cub, hurriedly waving his hand, "No need, no need, my brother and I will wash them ourselves. Mom said to do your own things yourself."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Zhao as if seeking praise.

Lin Zhao gave a thumbs up, giving her son encouragement.

The child smiled brightly.

Gu Chan didn't force it, took a step back and said: "Then thin clothes, light clothes, you wash yourselves, thick clothes, heavy clothes, leave them for me to wash."

"Good, I'll help Eldest Aunt boil hot water." Yubao said sensibly.

Gu Chan: "Boil what hot water, it wastes so much firewood, well water is warm, it's not cold at all."

Well water was much warmer than river water.

She changed the subject, "Aunt brought you two gifts, originally I should have given them to you yesterday, but something was delayed."

Lin Zhao added softly, "Your aunt has transferred her grain and oil relationship, she is now a worker in the cotton textile factory canteen, eating commodity grain."

The two cubs knew too well what eating commodity grain meant.

Two pairs of identical eyes shone brightly.

They didn't even have the heart to look at the gifts, their heads full of the news that their eldest aunt had become a worker.

"Eldest Aunt doesn't need to work in the fields anymore?" Hengbao said.

Yubao blinked, asking urgently, "Does Eldest Aunt also live in the city?"

"Right, I don't need to work in the fields anymore, but I don't live in the city." Gu Chan answered every question without missing any.

"Why don't you live in the city?" Yubao wrinkled his little face.

Gu Chan was always patient with children, answering: "If I live in the city, I can only stay in the dormitory, and then I would have to be separated from your uncle and the two stones, Eldest Aunt isn't willing."

"Why would you be separated, can't you all live there?" The child's brain didn't have the concept of a collective dormitory, and his thoughts were naive.

Gu Chan continued: "Because there are eight people living in the dormitory, one bed each, and they are all female comrades, male comrades can't enter."

Yubao understood this, "Just like boys can't enter girls' rooms, otherwise it's hooliganism."

Mom taught him that.

"... Right." Gu Chan laughed.

"Eldest Aunt is hard-working." Yubao felt heartache for his aunt tossing back and forth, his head drooping.

Gu Chan felt her heart burning, laughed: "Not hard, your mom lent me a bicycle, I ride the bike back and forth, and can save a lot of time. When your uncle is completely better, he will also come to pick me up."

Yubao nodded like a little adult, his expression smoothing out.

Hengbao laughed, "Plus Eldest Aunt, our old Gu family has three workers."

"Hmm." Yubao agreed very much.

After finishing the business, the two cubs went to look at the gifts their eldest aunt sent.

They were two handmade schoolbags embroidered with Da Huang, Xiao Xiao Hu Po, and Little Jin.

The stitches were fine, and the embroidered small animals were lifelike, cute and vivid.

"Wow, it's a schoolbag, and there's Da Huang, Xiao Xiao Hu Po, and Little Jin on it! Eldest Aunt, I like this gift!!" Yubao's eyes were sparkling, his tone rising, full of happiness.

Gu Chan knew her nephew would like it, "As long as you like it."

To make these two schoolbags, she spent quite a bit of effort.

Hengbao also liked it.

He took the new schoolbag to Lin Zhao, "Mom, look at my new schoolbag, I want to carry it to school tomorrow, can I?"

His little hand touched Da Huang on the schoolbag, his eyes full of liking.

"Sure, carry them in turns, just wash the other one." Lin Zhao promised.

Gu Chan: "Yubao, Hengbao, bring the schoolbags you want to wash, I'll wash them while I'm at it."

The twins looked at their mother, their eyes inquiring.

Lin Zhao nodded, and the two children took out the things in the schoolbags and handed them to Gu Chan.

"Thank you, Eldest Aunt." The twins thanked her politely.

Gu Chan smiled, Zhaozhao taught the children to be too polite.

She busied herself with washing, and after she finished, Lin Zhao had finished cooking, and they left after the mother and three sons finished eating.

Gu Chan said she had to return to the Harvest Brigade to pay back the money, Lin Zhao didn't talk nonsense, just asked: "How are you going back?"

"By ox cart, it's arranged, the cart is full of people, there won't be any issues." Gu Chan said.

Hearing her say this, Lin Zhao was at ease.

On the other side, Gu Fu was led by the Brigade Captain and was meeting the Commune Secretary.

Hearing that the Harvest Brigade members had successfully grown mushrooms, the Commune Secretary stood up, supporting the table, his serious face rarely revealing joy.

"Really?"

Gu Fu put down the bamboo basket he brought, "This is just harvested, Secretary, take a look."

The Commune Secretary didn't be formal, directly reached out to touch it; it was the touch of something freshly picked.

"Did you grow the mushrooms?" He looked at Gu Fu.

The Brigade Captain stepped forward and said: "It's him, he tried growing them a long time ago, afraid of failure, he didn't dare reveal it, and this... as soon as there were results, he came to report to you, Secretary!"

The Commune Secretary worried about the affairs of the whole commune, and the various brigades were poor, which also made him anxious; now seeing the people of the Harvest Brigade break out a path, he was immediately full of joy.

"Good, good, good!" He praised.

"I will report this matter up, and the deserved reward will be sent to the Harvest Brigade later." The Commune Secretary promised.

The Brigade Captain was overjoyed, "Laboring Secretary to worry."

Although the reward wasn't for him, it was for the brigade he managed, so he could also get some benefits.

The Commune Secretary waved his hand, "I actually wish there were more of you appearing..."

So worry-free.

Didn't need him to rack his brains to think of a way out for each brigade.

This was his responsibility, it's true, but he couldn't stand the number of brigades; one or two would be fine, but what about ten or so.

It would be fine if there was no way out, but if he thought of a way out, which brigade should he give it to?

Giving it to anyone would provoke a lot of criticism.

It was inevitable that some people would mutter, why did the Commune Secretary put ** in ** brigade, did that brigade give him benefits?!

Don't underestimate gossip, its lethality is great.

The Harvest Brigade was very good, the way out was thought of by the brigade members themselves, no one could say sour words!

Want it? Go figure it out and try it yourself!!

The Brigade Captain saw the Commune Secretary was very optimistic about their project and asked directly: "Secretary, then can we plant them in large quantities?"

He rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "You also know, the members are all waiting, I have to give them a definite message."

"Get!" The Commune Secretary only replied with one word.

Now, the Brigade Captain's heart was settled.

"Ai, when I go back, I'll call on everyone to plant mushrooms and find ways to increase income."

The Commune Secretary gave them the go-ahead, "I will watch the process, you can rest assured and do it boldly!"

The Brigade Captain and Gu Fu were both full of joy.

Everything was public, they didn't dare to make their own decisions, lest they be labeled with a big hat.

Now it was good, with the Commune Secretary speaking, they could rest assured and do it boldly.

The backs of the two leaving were full of drive.

"Go back by ox cart, I'll treat you!" The Brigade Captain waved his hand with rare generosity.

Gu Fu followed, "The old boy is generous for once, I won't be formal!"

"..."

Not long after they sat on the ox cart, the Brigade Captain bumped Gu Fu's shoulder, "Eh, your Chan?"

Gu Fu looked in the direction of his gaze, it really was his own Chan.

Hurriedly stood up and went forward to greet her a few steps.

"Chan, why are you here?" His words carried an undetectable worry, fearing his son-in-law had another problem.

Gu Chan walked over, holding her two sons.

"Dad." After greeting, she explained: "I'm going back to my maiden home."

Afraid her own father wouldn't understand, she added: "Something came up."

Hearing this, Gu Fu immediately reacted to what it was.

——The major event of paying back money.

He didn't say much, "Fine, go back with Dad."

The two stones called out "Grandpa".

Gu Fu touched his grandsons' heads, his words full of heartache, "Looking thin, wait until we get home and let your grandma make you something delicious."

Big Stone smiled, "We already ate at Third Aunt's."

Hearing this, Gu Fu was immediately speechless.

He couldn't be sure to say that his own family's food was better than Third's.

Not to mention anything else, Third's family was very willing to spend on the children in the family, definitely letting them eat until they were full.

"Chan, your mother exchanged for a chicken, take it with you in a while, stew soup for your husband to drink, people recovering from injuries need to eat well, eating well makes injuries heal faster." Gu Fu changed the subject and talked about another thing.

Gu Chan was full of emotion.

"Dad..."

Gu Fu patted her shoulder, "As a father, I always want to hold up a piece of sky for my children, what your mother and I can do, we definitely won't be stingy, what we can't do, don't dislike us for being useless."

"Dad!" Gu Chan shouted loudly with dissatisfaction.

Dad's words were gouging her heart.

How could she think that!!

"Dad won't say it, Dad won't say it." Gu Fu said hurriedly.

The Brigade Captain laughed on the side.

Gu Fu ignored him.

"Dad, my grain and oil relationship has been transferred to the factory." Gu Chan said lightly, revealing the big news.

The Brigade Captain's smile disappeared, and he looked at her in astonishment.

"Enter the factory?" He shouted excitedly.

Gu Chan was startled.

Big Stone frowned, looking at the Brigade Captain.

Gu Fu gave the Brigade Captain an elbow, "Why such a loud voice? You scared my daughter."

Brigade Captain: "..." Your daughter isn't made of glass bottles.

He rubbed his elbow that was bumped in pain, looking at Gu Chan, "Chan, what you just said, grain and oil relationship transferred to the city, what does it mean?"

Gu Fu knew, his chin raised slightly, his face full of the vicissitudes of time, full of pride.

"What else could it mean, our Chan has become a worker!"

The Brigade Captain was shocked.

"Really or fake? Isn't it said that work is very hard to get, even temporary workers can't be gotten?!"

He was puzzled.

"Is this work hard to get or easy to get?"

All the good things were occupied by Old Man Gu, he was so jealous!!

Gu Fu faced the Brigade Captain's fiery eyes, nearly laughing brilliantly, "How could it be fake."

"It was also good luck." He explained, "Wasn't Xiangdong injured to save someone, the family he saved came back, saying they wanted to give Xiangdong a job as a thank-you gift. Xiangdong thought of Chan, didn't want it, and discussed with that family to arrange one for Chan, and that family agreed, that's why Chan had this good fortune."

Learning the cause and effect, the Brigade Captain felt much calmer in his heart.

It was what they deserved.

He had heard before that Gu's son-in-law wasn't lightly injured, and was borrowing money everywhere to save his life.

"Good people have good rewards! Xiangdong is good, and Chan has a good fate."

These words hit Gu Fu's heart.

He smiled: "Who says it isn't."

At the beginning, when Xiangdong was just injured, there were quite a few idle gossips in the village; when the news of Chan becoming a worker spread to the village later, Gu Fu couldn't describe how refreshing the reaction of those long-tongued women would be.

The people of the Harvest Brigade were indeed dizzy from this news, running to the Gu family to ask.

Learning the Brigade Captain wasn't talking nonsense, a group of people started building relationships with the Gu family.

"Chan, you're someone Aunt watched grow up, Aunt knew you were promising since you were small." Praising her, she stated her purpose, "If the factory you're in is recruiting, don't forget to tell me."

Another person pushed her away, "What's there to talk to you about, when Xiangdong just had an accident, you didn't watch the fun less, you even said... introduce a cripple to Chan, let her remarry, what, forgot what you said yourself?"

Big Stone's face turned gloomy.

He remembered the face of the person who wanted to introduce a cripple to his mother.

Gu Chan hurriedly covered her son's ears, looking angrily at the guilty aunt, "Why are you like this? What happened to Old Gen Uncle, do you want to remarry too?"
