: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature (Thirty-nine)

"What? What are you talking about? I, I can be a driver? Can I eat commercial food?"

Brother Gu's eyes widened and he looked in disbelief at his wife, whom he hadn't seen for several months.

"No! Strictly speaking, you are only qualified to participate in driver training in other factories. You are only learning skills, and you are not a formal employee."

Second Sister-in-law Gu stayed in the city for four or five months, watching Gu Qingcheng teach his apprentices every day, and also learned some "professional" words.

I also know that I have to be strict when I speak and don’t talk nonsense.

The second brother Gu didn't know this. He only heard the second sister-in-law Gu say "no", and most of the excitement on his face faded, "Ah? I can't!"

Second Sister-in-law Gu:...You idiot, can't you just listen to me?

Also, can you use your brain?

But no matter how stupid he is, he is still his own man and the father of her child.

Second Sister-in-law Gu rolled her eyes and had to speak more clearly, "If you take part in the training, you can learn to drive."

"If you have the skills to drive, you can apply for the job when the factory recruits new workers!"

"Even if there is no need for drivers in the factory temporarily, we can still go back to the production team."

"If you think about Xiao Shitou from the Hongyang Brigade next door, he learned to drive from the nearby garrison. The brigade bought a tractor, and he became a tractor driver!"

How majestic is it to drive a tractor every day?

The light that had just disappeared on Brother Gu's face returned again, "Yes! Yes!"

Oh my, my wife is really awesome and has a quick brain.

I even thought of this.

If you can drive, you are a cow.

Their production brigade does not yet have a tractor. Some time ago, the brigade leader said that he had to go to Hongyang brigade to borrow a tractor every time.

Not to mention spending money and favors, when the driver comes, he also wants to eat, drink and entertain you.

It's a pity that there is no one in the Red Star Brigade who can drive. If there were, they would try to raise money to buy a tractor.

Now, his wife told him that his good girl gave him an opportunity to learn to drive!

Oops!

As long as he learns it, he can return to the production brigade even if he doesn't join the factory.

When the time comes, he will be driving a brand-new tractor with shiny tiles, and he will be able to earn full work points without having to go to the fields or work.

People in and outside the village, old and young, old and young, young and old, young and old, young and old, young and old, young and old, will definitely look at him with envy and admiration.

He can also go to other production brigades to help, and people will give him cigarettes and tea, and they will politely call him "Master Gu"!

Master Gu?

"Hehe! Hehehe!"

Thinking of that wonderful prospect, Brother Gu couldn't help but giggle.

Second Sister-in-law Gu: ...I really don’t see it.

Snapped!

Second Sister-in-law Gu slapped Brother Gu's arm rudely.

The pain instantly made Brother Gu stop laughing.

"Humph, you just know how to giggle! Don't you even think about it, whose credit is it for you to be a driver?"

"Of course my Xiaoni is very powerful!"

Gee, even the leaders of Digital Factory agreed with her. Their Xiaoni is so promising.

Second Sister-in-law Gu:......

This is indeed the case, but don't you think about it, you three brothers, why does Xiaoni only let you learn to drive?

Second Sister-in-law Gu's eyes were a little fierce.

Brother Gu shuddered subconsciously.

He was always honest and honest, but when he saw his wife's unkind eyes, his mind immediately became bright, "And you! Thanks to you for serving Xiaoni, Xiaoni remembered your favor, and now -"

Only then did Sister-in-law Gu look away from the man who wanted the knife with satisfaction.

"That's right! Don't even think about it. They are all her brothers. The boss is just a temporary worker in the processing factory in our town."

"As for the fourth child, he just studied medicine with Dr. Wei and didn't even get a temporary job."

"Only you, as long as you learn to drive, can provide an iron rice bowl."

"If you think about it carefully, what is this for?"

Brother Gu was about to say "because of you".

Second Sister-in-law Gu was too lazy to listen to her man's stupidity and gave the answer directly.

She pointed back at herself, "That's because I worked hard to take care of Xiaoni in the city for three or four months."

"Wash and cook, sew and mend, and, in this cold weather, wash pots of urine and rings."

"Look at me, my hands -"

Sister-in-law Gu said passionately and stretched out her hands habitually.

Ugh, that’s embarrassing!

There was no redness, swelling, or frostbite on her hands. Although they were not as slender and tender as Gu Qingcheng's, they were still much finer than those of ordinary peasant women.

At first glance, it looked like he had never done any heavy work.

Even the calluses left by work have become softer, thinner, and even disappeared.

Brother Gu lowered his head and happened to see his wife's white and clean hands, "Huh? Damn it, your hands have become delicate."

"By the way, your face is also a lot whiter!"

Brother Gu was so excited just now that he didn't notice the changes in his wife.

Now that he saw her hand, Brother Gu couldn't help but start to move his eyes upward.

Then, he discovered that after a few months of not seeing her, his wife had become whiter and her skin had become more delicate.

There is flesh on the face, it is red and fleshy, and it looks like there is no shortage of food and drink.

And the bright red cotton-padded jacket she was wearing was brand new, and the cotton batting was thick, so it must have been newly made.

When my daughter-in-law went to the city, she brought a small baggage with her, which was two cents for the bus ticket.

The others are some eggs, vegetables and other things prepared for Xiaoni.

But when I came back this time, my wife brought a lot of big and small packages.

Except for the things that Xiao Ni gave to her elder sister as a filial piety, and the clothes and toffee she bought for several nieces and nephews, the rest were all Gu Ersao's own things.

Tsk, there are just a few pieces of clothing, and there are also some creams and shampoos.

Some bottles and cans even have foreign characters printed on them.

Brother Gu looked at his wife who seemed to have changed her appearance, and then thought about the good things she had brought back.

His conscience prevented him from saying, "You have suffered."

Haha, if this is considered suffering, the women in the production brigade will definitely fight over it.

Second Sister-in-law Gu:......

A little guilty.

In the past few months she had been in the city, she had indeed helped her sister-in-law with work and looked after homes.

But, she also really enjoyed the blessing.

Three meals a day, each meal consists of refined grains, and each meal contains oil and water.

Malted milk, peach cake, etc. are also popular.

From time to time, I would go out to restaurants with my sister-in-law.

Oops, the braised pork made by Chef Xiao Meng of Xijiekou Restaurant is really amazing.

The three-layered meat is fat but not greasy, thin but not greasy, red and fluttering. One bite leaves a fragrant aroma in her mouth. She never gets tired of eating it every day!

Compared with living at home, life at my sister-in-law's house is like a daydream.

On days like this, she, she couldn't say without conscience that she was suffering.

However, in front of her husband, she still has to take credit——

"Xiao Ni's family has good living conditions, and I have indeed benefited from it!"

"But I really worked hard."
