Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 306 Zhong Yun

Gu Yizhou's shop has no backyard.

It's okay for Xu Jianshan to live here alone, but if Zhong Yun and Li Feng come along, it will be a bit crowded.

Lin Qingyan thought for a moment and said to Zhong Yun and the others,

"I'll take you to another shop. There's a backyard over there with a well. It'll be more convenient to wash and brush your teeth if you live there."

"We can live anywhere as long as we have a place to sleep." Zhong Yun said a little embarrassedly.

"Gu Yizhou has already told me that you guys should come here and I will help you arrange accommodation.

He seems to be on a mission right now, so he probably doesn't know you're coming. I'll send him a message later, and he'll come over to accompany you after he finishes his mission."

Lin Qingyan smiled and gave the credit to Gu Yizhou. She knew that these people came just for Gu Yizhou, so if they wanted to thank someone, they should thank Gu Yizhou. After all, Gu Yizhou also had a share in the photo studio.

"Come on, I'll take you there to rest for two days. After you've rested, we'll make other arrangements."

"Comrade Lin, we are not tired. If you have any questions, just tell us directly."

Zhong Yun was grateful to Gu Yizhou for introducing him to the job, and was also grateful to Lin Qingyan for not showing any abnormality when she saw his lame foot.

Unlike his family, when his parents saw him returning from military service, they cried and shouted about his lame leg on the first day.

"My son, what are you going to do with your foot injured like this?"

"Son, even if I have to spend all my family's wealth, I will find you a wife who will not let them despise you."

"Xiaoer, don't worry. If anyone bullies you in the future, I will fight back for you. I will never let anyone bully you again."

"Brother, San'er will also protect you!"

Even his younger brother who hadn't yet married was comforting him.

Zhong Yun was very touched at that time. He was touched that his parents, who were already so old, were willing to spend all their savings to find him a wife. He was also touched by the thoughtfulness of his elder and younger brothers.

Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with his limp at the time, he was injured while protecting the masses. In the words of the company commander, it was a very honorable thing and he didn't need to feel inferior.

"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Little Brother, although my foot is injured, as long as I don't walk too fast, others won't be able to find me easily. But I can't stay in the army any longer.

Don't worry, the army has arranged a job for me, and I can take care of myself."

Zhong Yun was very moved at the time, and he gave all the compensation money given to him by the army to his parents.

Life was normal and uneventful in the first few months, but my parents said that the house at home was not big enough and they wanted to build a few tiled houses so that they could find a wife.

Later, he didn't get married, but his younger brother got married in the new house. He usually worked in the factory and lived in the dormitory arranged by the factory. When he went home for the New Year, he found that he had no room left and had to share a room with his little nephew.

What did his parents say at that time?

"Your brother is getting married, so you can't live in the same room with him anymore. Your brother and sister-in-law's previous house was too small, and they have many children, so they had to move to the new house. You haven't started a family yet, so you're living in your brother and sister-in-law's previous house."

During the years that Zhong Yun was in the army, he often slept in the wild when performing missions, and he really didn't have too many requirements about where to live.

Just a few days after the Chinese New Year, my younger brother, who had just gotten married, had a fierce quarrel with his sister-in-law. His sister-in-law took her luggage and went back to her parents' home. His sister-in-law's family was better off than theirs, and when he married her, my younger brother even showed off to her.

He went to persuade his brother to bring his sister-in-law back, but his brother just lowered his head and remained silent. No matter how he asked, his brother would not say a word.

He had no choice but to go find his parents and ask them to persuade his brother, and he found out from them what happened.

"Second boy, don't worry about this. Your brother's problem is also our fault for not explaining it clearly before. When we arranged a marriage for your brother,

I don't know what the matchmaker said, but he said your brother had a job, so your sister-in-law agreed to marry you. But after they got married, they found out that he didn't have a job, so she accused us of marriage fraud and went back to her parents' home in anger.

Your brother has not even graduated from elementary school, and our family has no connections, so how can he get a job in a factory?

Ouch, my heart aches when I think of this. What sin have I committed? Why is my life so miserable? The second son injured his foot, and the third son just got married, but his wife regretted it. How can our family live in the village in the future?"

The sound of my mother crying struck Zhong Yun's heart. He said to his mother without any hesitation,

"Mom, I'll transfer the work to my younger brother, so my sister-in-law won't have any objections."

As soon as Zhong Yun finished speaking, his mother stopped crying and looked at him carefully and asked:

"Is what you said true?"

At that moment he suddenly felt something was wrong, but this was his mother. Although he was very young when he joined the army and left home early, he had rarely communicated with his family during these years.

But he was very eager for family affection. He shook off the thoughts in his mind, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said to his mother:

"Mom, I can give the job to him. When the holiday is over, I will go to the factory to handle the transfer."

Then he spent a few days at home, the happiest days of his life so far. Not only were his parents very kind to him, but his younger brother also always cared about him, making him feel ashamed of having any thoughts of doubting his family.

When he handed over the job to his younger brother, his sister-in-law also came back and smiled at him at first.

But the good times didn't last long. His legs were affected when doing farm work, and his sister-in-law started to blame him indirectly.

His brother scolded him at first, but later he indirectly accused him of being a freeloader.

His parents just pretended not to see it, and his younger brother who took over his job pretended not to see it either.

One day, when he came home from work and saw his family having so much fun, he realized that everything that had happened before was deliberately performed for him.

When his sister-in-law scolded him again, he grabbed his brother by the collar and beat him up.

When his mother was about to cry, he went straight into the new house, which was built with his retirement allowance, and threw out all the things in his brother's room.

Even his brother's room was not spared.

He unilaterally separated from them. His mother cried and yelled, but he did not show any mercy. He went to dig the soil and piled up the wall of the new house that day.

It was at this time that Li Feng came to him with Gu Yizhou's information.

Zhong Yun didn't say anything, just picked up his luggage and followed Li Feng. Before leaving, he went to the village chief's house and entrusted the house to the village chief to take care of. Even though he gave it to the village later, he didn't want to give it to that family anymore.

However, these things only quickly passed through Zhong Yun's mind. At this time, they were following Lin Qingyan to the newly purchased store.
