Old Mrs. Shen told the old man about Gu Jiandong going to the countryside. Old man Shen nodded and said, "Our family must take good care of the child.
When the time comes, let him live at home, where he can eat and sleep, and we won’t have to worry about him being bullied.”
Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen have long regarded Gu Changfeng as their own son. Gu Changfeng is their son, and Gu Jiandong is their grandson. When their grandson goes to the countryside, they, as grandparents, will naturally protect him.
Old Mrs. Shen also wanted to let the child live at home, but there was no extra room at home. "Old man, we don't have any spare rooms at home. Should we build another room?"
"We have to build more, four more. Jiabao and his family are all going to get married, so we can't do without a house."
The eldest grandson has grown up now. He can’t get married and still live in the same house with his parents.
They cannot build a house made of blue bricks and tiles, but they are capable of building four adobe houses.
"Old woman, pack your things and come with me to the second brother's house to talk to him about this."
Old Man Shen also has a younger brother named Shen Erzhu, who is the captain of the Shenjiabao Brigade.
The old couple chatted in the house for a while, and then Mrs. Shen took a basket filled with a few egg cakes and half a pound of brown sugar and went out with the old man.
……
Military compound.
Su Yueru asked her husband with red eyes, "Changfeng, do you really want to be transferred to the Northwest?"
Gu Changfeng patted his wife's shoulder and said, "The transfer order will be issued soon. I am a soldier and must obey orders."
"But... you shouldn't go." Su Yueru knew very well what the Northwest was. Her husband had many old injuries on his body, and his body could not withstand going to such a difficult place.
"I'm already pretty good. After all, I'm still an official."
If the leaders above take sides, he will be affected even if he wants to hide.
"Okay, stop crying. Life in the Northwest isn't as tough as you think. Maybe I'll be back in a year or two.
You can stay here peacefully. Don't worry about me or Jiandong. He's in the Shenjiaba Brigade. With Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen here, Jiandong will be fine."
Su Yueru hit her husband and said, "What are you talking about? You two are both troublesome. How can I not worry about you?
Jiandong is in this state now, and he wants to go to the countryside. How can I, as his mother, feel at ease? "
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Su Yueru cried for a long time before she calmed down. "I want to go to the Northwest with you, to such a difficult place. I don't want you to be alone."
As for her son, she was also worried, but her son went to the countryside where Aunt Shen and Uncle Shen's family were living, so her son's life should be better.
She is selfish and loves her husband more than her son.
Gu Changfeng didn't want his wife to suffer with him. "You're making trouble. Why don't you just be a good military doctor in the army? Why do you want to go to the Northwest with me? I don't agree with this."
"My son is going to the countryside soon. Please pack his things and send them to him in advance.
Send the prepared money and bills along, and have Shu Yu keep them while I go and arrange some things."
His son's situation was special, so it was naturally impossible for him to work and earn work points to support himself like normal educated youth.
All he could do was to prepare enough money for his son so that he would have enough food and clothing in the countryside.
Su Yueru also knew that this was not the time to grieve over the passing of time. She still had to cheer herself up and prepare everything for her son.
……
Old man and old lady Shen went to Shen Erzhu's house, and when they came back they told their three sons and daughters-in-law that they wanted to build four more houses.
Of course they were happy about building a house. When their son grew up and got married, he would need a room of his own. Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen II had wanted to talk to their parents about this a long time ago.
Li Caixia smiled happily, "Dad and Mom, let's build a brick house, shall we?"
Old Lady Shen rolled her eyes at her second daughter-in-law and said, "You're dreaming. Will you pay for building a brick house?
It’s good enough to have an adobe house to live in, and I picked it!”
"Hey, you're the head of this family, and you hand over all the money you earn. I don't have any money. The adobe house is pretty good, and it's comfortable to live in."
Li Caixia felt a little disappointed, but then she thought that the new house would not be lived in by her, but by her son and daughter-in-law. In fact, it didn't need to be that nice, as long as it could shelter from the wind and rain.
Uncle Shen Sanbo and Li Zhaodi had nothing to be happy about. They had no sons, so they could not get any benefits from the house that was built.
Shen Xue was quite happy. She asked, "Mom and Dad, if you build four houses, can I live in one too?" After all, there are only three cousins in the family. If you build four houses, there will be one extra room, right?
Li Caixia was not happy. What did she mean by Shen Xue living alone in a room? She had a daughter. "What do you mean you can live alone in a room? If you want to live in the extra room, you and Xiaoqiu will live together. You two sisters can live in one room."
Shen Xue disagreed. She finally had her own room, and she didn't want to share a room with Shen Qiu. "Second Aunt, Xiao Qiu is living well with you. She can't get used to sleeping in a room with me."
She had barely said a few words when her second daughter-in-law and second granddaughter started arguing. Old Lady Shen slammed the table and said, "Who said there was an extra room? Changfeng's son will be coming to our Shenjiaba Brigade as an educated youth soon. Your father and I have discussed it and decided to let the child live with us. He will have both food and lodging at our house."
Gu Changfeng is known to everyone in the Shen family. He is Shen Xiangbei's comrade-in-arms and they are very close friends. I heard that he is now a high-ranking official.
Li Caixia said with a smile, "It's good to live at home. They are all our own children. It's more comfortable to live at home."
Zhang Cuicui said, "Second brother's wife is right. They are all our children. We can't just go to the countryside and still live in the educated youth camp."
Liu Pandi rarely agreed with her two sisters-in-law, "Yes, yes, live in our house. We have a place to live."
She had heard from her mother-in-law that Gu Changfeng had a promising son. If he lived in their house and fell in love with her daughter Xue'er, wouldn't she have a rich son-in-law?
Shen Xue's idea of living in her own house was dashed, and she felt completely demotivated.
It's the same again. The damn old man and old woman would rather build an extra house for others to live in than for their own granddaughter to live in.
Shen Shuyu is their granddaughter, but she is like a weed.
No one paid any attention to Shen Xue's unhappiness. The Shen family was very happy tonight.
Old man Shen discussed the preparations for making adobe bricks with his three sons and grandson.
Old Mrs. Shen and her three daughters-in-law told them about Gu Jiandong's special situation, so that when the children came home, they would not be so careless with their words and would hurt the children.
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Zhang Cuicui, Li Caixia and Liu Pan opened their mouths wide.
After a while, Liu Pandi blurted out, "What? Gu Changfeng's son is a fool?"
Shen Shuyu said coldly, "Third Aunt, watch your words."
Old Lady Shen slammed the table heavily and said, "Third wife, if I hear this a second time, you will go back to your parents' home."
