Chapter 53 Fu Jingyou, bear the burden
“I know, I’ll do it as soon as possible.”
“Yes!”
Only after receiving a firm reply, Lu Miao was satisfied.
Pull the small basket on the table and shake it, she stood up proudly, "The green apricots were picked for me, I took them away!"
Fu Jingyou nodded.
Lu Miao asked tentatively: "I guess this little basket was made for me, and I took it too?"
"Yes."
Lu Miao asked for a hat She didn't say she wanted a bamboo hat or a bamboo basket, but before we went out together, she would always hold things with her hands, and Fu Jingyou had always noticed it.
When cutting the bamboo when weaving the bamboo hat, Fu Jingyou had an idea in mind, so he cut two more pieces and came back to weave the bamboo basket together.
Lu Miao was fiddling with the small basket, extremely satisfied, "I'm leaving then, see you later!"
Fu Jingyou just nodded, then raised his hand and shouted: "Wait."
Lu Miao turned back blankly, "What else is there?"
"Shoes."
Fu Jingyou went around the door and took Lu Miao's cloth shoes from the stove.
The cloth shoes had been scrubbed clean, and the water stains had long been dried by the fire in the stove. Fu Jingyou bowed slightly and gently placed the shoes in front of Lu Miao.
Honestly, Lu Miao was stunned for a moment, but soon, she put on her shoes and stepped back out the door, "Okay, I'm really leaving this time! Just sit down, I don't need you to send me off. Me."
Fu Jingyou stepped forward and restrained himself from retracting his foot, and nodded inaudibly, "Go ahead, be careful when passing through the bamboo forest."< br>
Lu Miao grabbed the bamboo basket and ran out of the yard. The kitchen area in the backyard suddenly became deserted. Fu Jingyou was a little uncomfortable with it, but before he could make any move, the person who disappeared at the door a second ago suddenly came back. His head came to him, "Fu Jingyou!"
"Huh?" Fu Jingyou straightened up, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I just forgot to tell you that there is a lot of ginger in the small package I brought over. We won't be able to eat that much for a while. You can pick and choose! See if you can plant the ones with more buds."
"Okay."
"I'm really leaving this time!"
Lu Miao was quirky, snickering with bright eyes and white teeth, and when she spoke, she really stuck out her tongue. He ran away playfully and happily.
The back door was empty again. Fu Jingyou slowly raised his big palm and rubbed his forehead with a sense of loss. Just when he felt a little sad, the door in front was suddenly knocked.
"Jingyou? Are you in the house?"
Soon, Chen Guifen's voice came.
"Yes." Fu Jingyou responded, and quickly went to the front room to unlock the door bolt: "Auntie, why are you here?"
"You kid, tell me... …"
Chen Guifen carried an old bamboo basket into the house and put the crispy and tender cowpeas in the basket on the big table in the hall. She turned around and asked Fu Jingyou:
"What have you been doing these days? Even if you haven't gone to eat at home, why can't you see anyone all day long?"
Fu Jingyou's eyes flashed, and he was silent for a long time and answered truthfully: "I went to Yanji."< br>
“You went to Yanji?”
Chen Guifen was shocked.
Fu Jingyou said slowly: "I heard that there is work at the dock over there, so I went over to have a look and see if I can do more before the busy farming season."
There was also recruitment in the 1970s, but unlike the stable "iron rice bowl" of state-owned industries, without a diploma and no one to recommend, the jobs that could be found were all hard work that required hard work.
Normally in the team, He Hongjin and his wife are strict about their words. No one in the production team says anything about Fu Jingyou, but everyone knows about Fu Jingyou's life experience. In order to avoid conflicts and cause public outrage, He Hongjin and his wife never favored Fu Jingyou when it came to daily work.
For the same work, other strong laborers in the team can get eight to ten work points a day. Fu Jingyou has a special background. According to the usual practice, no matter how well he completes the task, , and the work points received are only half of others.
That little work point is not enough to support a young man. He Hongjin and his wife do take care of him, but after all, Fu Jingyou is such a young man and has sound hands and feet. How can he continue to rely on them for support with peace of mind?
A few years ago, Fu Jingyou had already had the experience of working outside.
"Yanji and Nanhu Town are separated by a river. They are still a living place. What do you think..."
Afraid that Fu Jingyou wouldn't like to hear what he said, Chen Guifen sighed and changed the subject, "Auntie I'm afraid that something might happen to you outside. Your uncle and I are far away and I don't know why. In this situation, what should you do at that time? "
"Auntie, I have considered everything you said, but I am already twenty-one years old and not a child anymore."
Fu Jingyou was silent for a long time, and finally spoke frankly:
"You and your uncle can't protect me for the rest of my life. There will always be a time when I have to stand alone."
This time when I went out to "carry the work", Fu Jingyou's words were mixed between truth and falsehood.
There is a certain risk in what he does, and it is not just this time, but every time in the future will be the same.
He was aware of his situation, so he never went to the He family again when he returned to the production team. All he wanted to do was to gradually develop a relationship with the He family.
It would be fine if he succeeds. He will not have to worry about not having the opportunity to repay the He family in the future.
But if unfortunately someone takes the blame...
He can do anything. The He family is kind to him, and he must not implicate the He family.
Thinking about it, Fu Jingyou said slowly: "Auntie, from now on I will cook at home and eat, and I will not go to your place."
The alarm bell rang in Chen Guifen's heart, "You bastard, you Did you cause trouble outside?”
“…No.”
"I didn't tell you what to do? You know how to cook?"
Chen Guifen asked suspiciously: "I didn't ask you to go home to eat every day. I was just afraid that you wouldn't be able to cook well, so I went there occasionally to improve the food. Why? Or are your uncle and I offending you?”
Having said this, what else can Fu Jingyou say?
Fu Jingyou shook his head like a rattle and could not say anything else except "no".
Others think that Fu Jingyou has a wild temperament and is not afraid of being beaten or scolded. In the past, when he was beaten to a bloody head, he became more and more courageous.
Everyone else is afraid of him, but Chen Guifen is the one who almost raised him. Chen Guifen knows his temper very well.
He is cold-tempered, but he is also filial and obedient.
Chen Guifen's words clearly captured Fu Jingyou's inner honesty and sincerity.
"You are not young anymore, so you want to save some money for your wife. If you want to go out to do the work, my aunt will not stop you, but I have agreed that you have to say hello every time you go out, do you hear me?"
Fu Jingyou nodded silently.
Chen Guifen raised him as her own child, and when she spoke, she was very preaching. "If you want to try to fire by yourself, then try it first, but this does not prevent you from going over to eat. Even if I call you over, you still have to go over, do you understand?"
“Yes.”
Unable to refuse, Fu Jingyou could only respond dully.
But a promise is a promise, what to do in the future is a matter for the future.
"Jingyou, I won't hide it from you. Over the years, I and your uncle have long regarded you as their own child."
Chen Guifen was satisfied. She picked up the empty bamboo basket and prepared to go home. She walked to the door of the main room and turned around again:
"Tell us what you need. My wife is actually not in a hurry to save. Your uncle still has some." Brother Guanglin said, this matter is their share.”
