Chapter 229 Hometown (5)
Sanbao had the accountant write a certificate of unmarried status for Lai Gou on the spot, and Du Mei pulled Lai Gou away.
Those people left behind were so angry they cursed loudly.
"You slut, shameless, utterly shameless."
"This woman dares to say anything; anyone who gets involved with her is doomed."
“A woman like that is a disgrace to our production team. Team leader, you shouldn’t have given him that certificate.”
Sanbao: "We can't refuse to let them get married! Lai Gou is indeed unmarried, and it's a normal need for him to want to get married. Besides, Du Mei has a divorce certificate now, so there's no reason to stop them from getting married!"
"Lai Gou is over fifty years old and has never tasted what it's like to be with a woman, so he's not picky anymore. He doesn't care about anything rotten or smelly, as long as it's a woman, he'll bring her home."
"Lai Gou is no good either; the two of them are birds of a feather."
After Lai Gou married Du Mei, he really treated her very well.
When working, the two of them team up, and Lai Gou always tries to do more.
If anyone mocks Du Mei to her face, Lai Gou will stand up for her.
Just as Du Mei had imagined, the two shameless people joined forces to fight against external pressure, and many people became much more restrained. At least to her face, they no longer dared to speak rudely to Du Mei.
Of course, the disdain and contempt in their expressions and eyes are unavoidable.
Du Mei and Lai Gou were inseparable, which Qi Zhengyang found most unbearable.
He did not completely rid himself of shame just because he divorced Du Mei.
He, Du Mei, and Lai Gou were all in the same production team, and they could see each other every day when they went to work.
Seeing his former wife intimately with another man, laughing and joking shamelessly, Qi Zhengyang felt extremely uncomfortable.
He didn't know why he felt unwell.
When she was his wife, he felt her existence was a disgrace to him. Now that they are divorced and she has nothing to do with him anymore, her existence still makes him feel deeply ashamed.
In short, he became irritable and easily angered.
Before, when he was in a bad mood, he could take it out on Du Mei, but now he can only vent his anger on the two children.
This made the two children act like mice in front of a cat whenever they saw him.
This enraged him even more.
What future can such a timid and hesitant child have?
An Xin and An Ran would never show such a humble demeanor.
Only a lowly mother could give birth to such lowly children.
With this thought in mind, Qi Zhengyang thought of An Xin and An Ran.
He had heard that An Xin and An Ran had gone to another place, to an island, and that both children had become teachers.
Qi Zhengyang was determined to be a teacher, and he was very pleased to hear that both of his children had become teachers.
In the end, the two children followed in his footsteps.
It was a path he was once very proud of.
Although he is no longer a teacher, his two children are.
He is still doing the job he used to do.
However, I later heard that An Ran went to join the army.
Qi Zhengyang was down for several days.
Being a teacher is great, why do you have to join the army?
But he no longer has any say in the future of those two children.
He still remembered the look of disgust and disdain An Ran gave him three years ago.
What a fine child! He is fair-skinned, energetic, and has a graceful demeanor with clear eyes, but looking at him is like looking at a stranger.
The thought that such a good child had drifted away from him and no longer belonged to him caused him unbearable pain.
Every time Qi Zhengyang saw the lewd behavior of the two children in front of him, he would inexplicably want to get angry and beat them up.
……
As the Lunar New Year approaches, the sporadic sounds of firecrackers, both near and far, add to the festive atmosphere.
All the New Year's goods for the family were bought by Su Jinru and Yuan Wen by driving to the county town.
Of course, most of the vegetables, chicken, and eggs were taken from Su Jinru's space. They went to the county town to buy some pork, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
The three Su sisters and Liu Yulan were in charge of cooking.
The men are responsible for drinking.
Daya, Erya, and Anxin were responsible for taking care of the twins.
They ate and drank every day, starting from New Year's Eve and continuing until the second day of the Lunar New Year.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, we invited the families of Jin Gui and San Bao to dinner.
After three years apart, Su Jinru felt that Jin Gui had changed a lot.
Before he was persecuted, he was a man who worked with great enthusiasm, single-mindedly focused on increasing production, fearing that poor harvests would lead to starvation.
Now, he is much more mature in his work, and he is very adept at using power tactics.
Su Jinru felt that she had come to the right person to ask Jin Gui for help at this time.
After they had eaten most of the food, Su Jinru raised her glass and toasted Jin Gui.
"Brother Jingui, I have a favor to ask of you since I came back this time."
"Aru, what is it? I will do my best to help as long as it is within my power."
“As you know, my younger sister, Ah Xuan, and I are away from home most of the year, and we might not be able to come back even once a year. My parents will have to rely on my second younger sister to take care of them in the future.”
"So I also want to help my second sister. Look at my second sister's daughter, she's already fifteen years old and has a junior high school education. Could you help her find a job?"
Jin Gui glanced at Daya sitting to the side.
The young girl was pretty and had delicate features; in terms of her demeanor, she even bore a slight resemblance to Su Jinru.
“Aru, it’s rare for you to ask me for help. Now that you’ve asked, I’ll naturally help you.”
"Brother Jingui, really? This won't put you in a difficult position, will it? As the eldest son in the family, I left the responsibility of taking care of our parents to my second sister. I feel guilty towards her and want to help her, so I had to swallow my pride and make this request to you. But if you feel it's difficult, you don't have to force yourself."
"Aru, don't be so polite. It's not a difficult thing at all. Besides, your business is my business!"
Su Jinyu never dreamed that her eldest sister would actually get the county magistrate to help arrange a job for her eldest daughter.
At that time, many people in the county town were unemployed! For a child from a typical farming family to get a job was like a windfall.
No wonder my eldest sister kept writing back, urging her to send all three children to school.
Especially Daya, girls her age are usually already engaged in the village.
The school keeps suspending classes and then resuming them, so generally girls won't be allowed to continue attending school.
But every time her older sister wrote back, she would urge her not to get engaged to Daya too early, and to let her continue her studies.
It turns out that the eldest sister had planned ahead, and at a certain time, she would ask someone to arrange a job for her daughter.
Su Jinyu excitedly grabbed Daya and said, "Brother Jingui, thank you so much! Daya, quickly thank your uncle."
Daya obediently stood up and bowed to Jin Gui.
"Thank you, uncle."
