Chapter 350: He Can't Sleep Because of His Bright Future

Gu Mu's mouth was wide open, her chest puffed out and head held high, and she even walked with a gust of wind.

"Should we call Second son's family?" she asked proactively.

After Gu Xing'er married out, the relationship between the first and second rooms of the Gu family was much better than before. The two families restored contact, and Old Grandma Gu would come to the old house to stroll around whether she had something to do or not.

After all, she was his own mother. There was favoritism, but she wasn't a cruel person. She had raised him with great difficulty, and Gu Fu was also willing to be filial to his old mother. Whatever good food was made at home, he would let his grandson go call his great-grandmother, or send a bowl over.

With coming and going, the relationship between the two families was much closer than when they were young.

"Call!" Gu Fu's face was full of joy, his whole face glowing, looking at least five years younger.

"Lai Mei, go call your second grandfather." Gu Mu ordered her grandson.

"Hey." Lai Mei responded, happily going to call people.

Meat to eat!!

When Gu Gu Ershu learned that his nephew was promoted and became a regiment commander, he was also so happy he didn't know what to say.

"Blue smoke is rising from the old Gu family's ancestral grave!!" Old Grandma Gu slapped her thigh, her face full of wrinkles piled with smiles.

"Go, go together."

This was Lai Mei returning, and telling the others in the second room about her plan.

She looked at Second Daughter-in-law, "Bring that largest piece of cured meat at home later."

There were only a few pieces of cured meat at home in total, which were smoked for the New Year. Second Daughter-in-law Gu was reluctant, but knowing that saying anything was useless, she waved her hand at her daughter-in-law, letting her look at the situation.

"..."

Gu Gu Ershu strongly supported his own mother, "Mother's arrangement is thoughtful, bring the largest one! Blue smoke is really rising from the ancestral grave, hahahaha, regiment commander, bigger than the commune secretary, promising, too promising, Chenghuai is really striving!"

Pride was pride, but it was inevitable to be a bit envious, "Eldest brother gave birth to a good son!"

Becoming a regiment commander at such a young age, with such a bright future, he couldn't sleep at night.

Those cousins of Gu Chenghuai: "?"

What was with the expression of Dad looking at them and then quickly looking away in disgust?!

"No need to envy, the capable one is your own nephew, who calls you Gu Gu Ershu. Don't say he is a regiment commander, even if he is a brigade commander or a division commander, he still has to honestly call you..." Old Grandma Gu couldn't bear to see her son suffer and spoke to comfort him.

"I know, I'm happy, hahahahaha, regiment commander... really good." Gu Gu Ershu laughed out loud, couldn't sit still, got up and walked to the door, "I'm going to find eldest brother."

He couldn't wait to chat with his eldest brother.

Arriving at the old Gu residence, before entering the door, he shouted a string of "Brother, Brother" just like when he was a child, like a lively little duck.

"Brother, Brother, Brother, where are you? I'm here, I'm here to find you!"

Gu Fu heard this string of "Brother" shouts, and the dead memory attacked him.

He hurriedly walked out of the room.

"Inside, inside..."

Gu Gu Ershu took a few steps forward and grabbed his brother's arm, "Brother, did Chenghuai really become a regiment commander? Is this true?"

"True, really true!" Gu Fu said repeatedly, "Third son wrote a letter saying so, and he's coming home for the New Year."

While speaking, he raised the wine bottle in his hand and shook it, "Second brother, let's have a few drinks later to celebrate."

"Oh my, it's good wine. Eldest brother even has such good wine." Gu Gu Ershu said.

"Third daughter-in-law sent it," Gu Fu smiled, "If ordinary people came, I wouldn't be willing to open it."

Gu Gu Ershu looked moved, "Still eldest brother who is good to me, remembering me whenever there's anything good."

Gu Fu patted his shoulder, everything was in silence.

Sincerity for sincerity. His mother favored the second brother, but the second brother wasn't arrogant because of favor, and whenever there was anything good in his hands, he would leave a portion for him, this eldest brother. Their brotherhood was deep.

"Want to go with me to burn paper for Father tonight?"

Gu Gu Ershu agreed, "Okay, Father will definitely be happy to know this. That old man loved showing off the most. Chenghuai was promoted, now he has something to say down there. I don't know how proud he is."

"I don't have any ability, can't be Father's little pride. If Father can have light on his face because of my son, I'm also happy." Gu Fu said.

Gu Gu Ershu looked at his brother with complex eyes, "Aren't you Father's pride? Father praised you a lot when he was alive, saying you were bold and careful, and were his most satisfied son. If this isn't pride, what is?"

Father favored eldest brother more, mother favored him more. Gu Gu Ershu didn't envy his own brother for being valued by his father since he was a child.

Gu Fu's eyes were helpless.

Talking to a chicken and a duck.

His and Chenghuai's achievements were not comparable.

However, Chenghuai was his son, and he was also raised by him. Did his achievements have a little bit of his credit?

That day.

The fragrance of the Gu family's old house drifted far away.

People in the village knew that the Gu family's Qilin son was promoted, and his family was celebrating. Their mood was quite complex. Envy was a billion points, sourness was there, and honor was also there...

Some people even carried their own miscellaneous grain rice to the Gu family's door, sniffing the meat fragrance from the courtyard while eating.

Yuan Bao and the other children were the same, holding heavy bowls, squatting on the ground shoveling rice, trying to taste meat from the coarse grain rice. The dream was beautiful, but reality smashed them with bumps all over their heads.

"You say what Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao are eating, I don't know if there is braised pork, braised pork is the best to eat," Tie Niu said.

His family conditions were good, having a brigade leader grandfather, and he had more opportunities to eat meat than other children.

Yuan Bao wiped the corner of his mouth, his eyes shining, "I love eating chicken legs, chicken legs are delicious."

"Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao said they were eating chicken, their second aunt is going to kill a chicken," Da Zhuang said. His family was neighbors with the twins, and it was convenient to ask about any news.

Little Calf didn't hold a rice bowl. His body was weak, he couldn't eat coarse grains, and he was eating noodles. There was meat sauce and fried eggs in the noodles, and he wasn't eating poorly, but he was still a bit greedy when he smelled the meat.

Chang Sheng looked at the Gu family one glance after another, "Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao always eat meat. They have eaten more meat than I have in my life. Why wasn't I born in the Gu family?"

"Ah?" Little Calf looked at him in surprise, unable to understand why some children would dislike their own family and want to be someone else's child, "If you want to eat meat every day, you not only have to be born in the Gu family, but you also have to be Gu Third Uncle's child. Today's celebration banquet is to celebrate Chenghuai Uncle becoming a regiment commander."

Chang Sheng was scared to death of Gu Chenghuai. He could still remember the cold look the twins' father gave him.

That look made him sober, and also made him clear, making him change from a child everyone hated to a bit more likable, and he made good friends.

"Forget it, I don't want to eat meat. It's quite good to be my father and mother's child," Chang Sheng changed his mind instantly.

He would rather not eat meat than have a strict father like Gu Third Uncle.

Little Calf looked at Chang Sheng in confusion, unable to understand why he had one idea after another.

In the Gu family courtyard, everyone was eating happily.

Seeing his grandfather and second grandfather drinking, and smacking their lips happily after drinking, as if it were more refreshing than drinking soda, Gu Hangbao turned his black and bright eyes, dipped his clean chopsticks, stuck the tip of the chopsticks into his mouth, and sucked hard.

"So spicy, so spicy!!!" The child stood up, fanning in a panic, stood up from his seat, his whole face red like a tomato.

"So hot, I'm so hot, water, I want to drink cold water."

After touching the wine, it went to his face quickly, looking like a cooked duck.

Xiang Yubao hurriedly handed over the water by his side, "Drink quickly, drink quickly, what did you do?"

He was seriously rinsing the excess seasoning off the meat for his younger brother and sister just now and didn't pay attention to Gu Hangbao, so he didn't know at all that Gu Hangbao had secretly drunk his grandfather's Maotai.

Gu Hangbao drank several mouthfuls of water and felt he had come alive.

Gu Fu laughed out loud, "Spicy, right? Wine has this taste. Only spicy is enough strength, drink a mouthful and hands and feet will be warm."

Gu Hangbao stuck out his tongue, trying to vent the heat on his body, "It's not good to drink at all, not as good as soda. I want to drink soda."

Speaking of soda, he subconsciously looked at Lin Zhao.

"Why look at me? Don't you have prize money? If you want to drink, buy it yourself," Lin Zhao said.

Gu Hangbao was a bit floating, his face red, and said: "I'm in the village every day, how can I buy it?"

His tone was aggrieved, and his mouth was pouting enough to hang a hanging bottle.

"Are you drunk?" Lin Zhao saw the second cub's eyes were a bit erratic and said with a laugh.

Gu Hangbao blinked, "What is drunk?"

"Really confused." Lin Zhao silently took out her camera and took a photo of the second cub's drunken state, to be played on a loop at his wedding in the future, named—Gu Hangbao's First Drunkenness, asking 'What is drunk'.

"Can you still eat by yourself?"

Eat?

Oh, he is eating.

Gu Hangbao only felt that these words came from outside the sky, slowly squeezing into his head. He stood there blankly, and after several seconds, he reacted, sat down slowly, grabbed his chopsticks, and ate obediently. The child who always talked the most suddenly had no words, acting obedient and quiet.

"Really drunk, hahahaha." Gu Fu's laughter was like a bell, touching his grandson's round head, his eyes full of love.

"Exactly the same as your father's first time drinking, drunk as soon as he touches it, not making a fuss when drunk, as obedient as can be."

Gu Mu thought of the past, her face full of smiles, "Yes, father and son are printed from the same mold. Chenghuai is usually so steady, a little person, not letting people help with clothes, let alone hugging him or pinching him. The drunk Chenghuai is also like this, quiet, you go pinch his face... he doesn't frown, like a little adult."

Gu Fu said: "Why don't you say that after Chenghuai sobered up, he was sulking for several days."

Gu Yuanshan and Gu Yucheng listened to their parents talking about the past, all with great interest. Huang Xiulan and Zhao Liuniang were also the same. Third brother still had such a fun time?

Old Grandma Gu said: "Chenghuai has been particular since he was a child, different from everyone else. I saw it early on. My grandson is a martial arts champion descending to earth. Look, at a young age, not yet thirty, he became a regiment commander. If the old man knew, he wouldn't know how proud he would be. He would definitely go to the county to buy a few catties of hard candy and distribute it to everyone he met."

Thinking of the old man who had no luck, Old Grandma Gu signaled A-Chan to give her another half bowl of rice.

She had to treat herself well, not like the old man, who didn't enjoy a few days of happiness before lying on the board.

Raising sons is for enjoying happiness.

Lin Zhao saw the old lady's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh.

An old man who doesn't make a fuss, even if he has some small thoughts, is also cute.

Gu Fu said: "I'll go buy candy tomorrow, I'll distribute it on behalf of Father."

There is a stable livelihood at home, and ordinary fruit hard candy can still be afforded.

Old Grandma Gu looked at him with rare appreciation, "That's fine, your father didn't favor you in vain, you are a filial one."

Gu Fu: "..."

At such an old age, suddenly being praised by his own mother, it was quite shocking.

Lin Zhao spoke, "No need to trouble Father to buy it, I'll bring it back on my way from work."

Thinking of having to get up early, the little person in her heart shed two wide noodles.

Gu Fu didn't refuse, "Fine."

And let Gu Mu give the money to Third Daughter-in-law after the meal.

The next day, at noon.

Gu Qingzhou came to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Lin Zhao. After the two ate, Lin Zhao carried the lunch box and rode with Qingzhou to the motor factory.

When they arrived, Song Yuncheng was already waiting at the factory gate.

"Sister." He shouted with full energy, and then nodded to Gu Qingzhou.

Lin Zhao gave him the lunch box, "Everything you ordered is here. Do what I said well, otherwise... humph humph."

After threatening people, she said: "Qingzhou is entrusted to you, guide him well, I still have to go to work, I'm leaving first."

The leader was checking today, and it was not good for her to leave the counter for too long, which would have a bad influence.

Song Yuncheng hugged the lunch box, smiled with big white teeth, and gave a military salute, "Don't worry, Sister, guarantee to complete the task."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but laugh, gave Gu Qingzhou a few more instructions, and rode away.

As soon as she left, Song Yuncheng called Gu Qingzhou and walked toward the factory.

"Can I go in?" Gu Qingzhou said anxiously.

"With me here, of course you can go in, just register," Yuncheng answered his question.

The motor factory was indeed relatively mysterious, but it wasn't mysterious to the point of not receiving strange faces at all.

There were people guarding the confidential places, and ordinary people couldn't get in even if they wanted to.

"Don't worry, I won't take you to important places that need to be kept secret." Song Yuncheng saw Gu Qingzhou was very nervous and spoke to comfort him.

"I'm a technician, I'll definitely be more careful than you."

Gu Qingzhou said "Mm." He was nervous because it was his first time coming to this place; he hadn't thought he could enter this kind of place.

"My sister said you self-studied some mechanical foundations. What did you study?" Taking Gu Qingzhou to the cafeteria, Song Yuncheng asked casually to understand the student's learning situation.

"I don't know if that counts as studying the foundation..." Gu Qingzhou said embarrassedly, green and immature, his handsome face slightly red, "I read whatever books I could find related to machinery. I read "Mechanical Worker Map Recognition", "Mechanical Manufacturing Foundation"... and "Casting Worker"."

He casually reported the titles of several books.

Song Yuncheng's eyes were surprised, "You found so many related books, they are all what I studied."

Gu Qingzhou looked ashamed, "Not all of them were found by me. Many were picked up by Third Sister-in-law. My luck was average, I only found two, and both were only half."

"Oh." Song Yuncheng expressed he understood and comforted him a few words, "My sister's luck is indeed good, ordinary people can't compare, no need to be embarrassed."

"The books you read are no problem, it's just that some books are too deep for you as a beginner, you have to study first..." He told Gu Qingzhou in detail.

The words were not many, but every sentence had substance, making the novice enlightened, and the road leading to mechanical manufacturing in front of him was incomparably clear.

"Thank you." Gu Qingzhou thanked him.

"I just moved my lips, what's there to thank." Song Yuncheng said heartily.

He looked at Gu Qingzhou, his expression mysterious, "You're lucky. My master is in a good mood today and agreed for you to audit. You can take a look this afternoon. You are a new beginner, you definitely don't understand, take a look first, get familiar with the process."

Gu Qingzhou's eyes were bright, the boy's gaze was clear and sincere.

"Thank you." ===== CHAPTER 351 =====

"Thank you."
