Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 114 Asking for Help
"Brother, we can just have a meal of Xigua's Full Moon Wine at home. Then we will be our own family, Aunt Anxin's family, my father-in-law's family, and your father-in-law's family. What do you think?"

Yang Shuning thought that it would be enough to have a meal with relatives and family members in the capital. If a full-moon banquet was held, there might be seven or eight tables. This was not a wedding. It would be too high-profile to have so many people at a full-moon banquet.

"Ning'er is right, we should keep a low profile on this kind of thing and be careful not to make big mistakes."

"Chen'er, the same goes for you in the workplace. Don't be proactive about everything. Sometimes if you are too proactive, you will make mistakes unknowingly. You still need to read more and learn more. Now is not the time to do more. .”

Mother Yang, who returned to the house after washing the diapers, listened to a few words and felt that Yang Shuning's decision was right.By the way, I remembered Yang Shuchen's situation in the work unit, so I gave some pointers.

Yang Shuning and Yang Shuchen looked at each other, and at the same time they felt that Yang's mother was worthy of being a government cadre, and understood the essence of government work.

"Be a low-key person and do things with a high-profile." This is Yang's mother's motto. In fact, if you do more, you will make mistakes, and if you don't do anything, it will be good.If you do less things, others won't be able to catch your mistakes.

Do you really think that the government officials who see a newspaper and a cup of tea do not want to do anything?In fact, many of them have done things before, and they did many things, but unfortunately they made mistakes and were marginalized.

If a cadre is marginalized, he will be on the bench and will have no chance to do anything he wants to do.Not everyone has someone above them who will tell you how to do things, and teach you where you went wrong if you made a mistake.

Once ordinary people do too many wrong things and no one protects them, they will naturally be sidelined.

Yang Shuchen still has the style of a front-line army, which is very detrimental to his work in the agency.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll keep it in mind."

Although Yang Shuchen felt that what Yang's mother said was right, she felt a little bit unhappy.I remembered that there are many differences between the agency and the front line. I really need to learn more and see more. When I have completely adapted to the rhythm of the agency, it is time to really do things.

"Mom, do you think we should ask Sister Fang to stay at our house full-time?"

"You see, Xigua is still so young. My sister-in-law might get pregnant in a while, and we don't have a dedicated person to take care of the baby at home. We can't just bring the baby to the work in a few months, right?"

"Whether it's Xue'er or you bringing it to the unit, it's not suitable. After all, it's a little too small."

Yang Shuning felt that the family lacked someone dedicated to taking care of the children. Except for Yang Shuhao, who was in school, everyone in the family had jobs. He couldn't quit his job to take care of the children.

It's okay for Wang Xue to take maternity leave during this period. When Wang Xue goes to work, it will be a break.When the children are older, they can go to the nursery at work, but Xigua is too small.

In fact, Yang Shuning has another way, which is to put the small watermelon in the small courtyard. Lou Xiao'e has two old ladies to help, and they can help take it, but Yang Shuning dare not mention it.

"Well, I'm thinking about it too, but I want to invite people from my family back home."

Mother Yang did not mention Liu Fang, but instead mentioned people from Xishi's hometown.

"Mom, are you talking about the cousin who was a blessing in disguise?"

Yang Shuning also knew about the cousin mentioned by Yang's mother.He can be considered a blessing in disguise.Yang Shuning's family was originally small, and the previous generations had only a few heirs.Later, the situation was turbulent, and when Yang Shuning arrived, the family was officially separated.The grandfather has two sons. Yang Shuning's grandfather is a direct descendant, and the second grandfather is a concubine.

The cousin Yang's mother was talking about was the second grandfather's son. The second grandfather had several daughters but only one son.

One year before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the second grandfather was cheated and lost all the family property while gambling, leaving only a small house and two acres of farmland for his uncle.The day after his family property was confiscated, he left for Hexi.

However, my cousin escaped a disaster because of this. During the division in 50, my cousin, who only had two acres of thin farmland, was classified as a middle-lower peasant. If it weren’t for the fact that my cousin’s house was a brick house, and he was indeed a small landowner in the past. , he can be classified as a poor peasant.

If it had not been classified as middle and lower peasants, this cousin would probably have died long ago.After all, the Yang Shuning family is far away from home and cannot help even if they want to.

"Well, your cousin is the only one close to our house."

"Okay, my cousin is a member of our family, and we do have to help when we need to help. However, the work arrangements are easy to arrange, and the house is easy to find, but is my cousin willing to come over?"

Yang Shuning didn't know much about this cousin. He only mentioned him from his father and mother. He knew that he graduated from the old high school and married a wife who was also a small landowner.

However, the two families have not been in contact for many years. They only send telegrams and support fees during the Chinese New Year. They don't even know how many children they have now.

I only know that I had a daughter and a son before.My cousin got married a year before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. A daughter was born in the year of victory, and a son was born three years later. The news after that was not certain because Yang Shuning's family had already arrived in the capital.

"I'm not sure. Let's ask first. I'll send them a telegram tomorrow. If they don't want to come, it won't be too late to invite Xiaofang. Besides, your cousin is a nice person, with a great personality, and is a good woman. A small watermelon is just right.”

Yang's mother has a strong sense of clan, and she thought that coming over with her cousin's family would not only solve the problem of insufficient manpower at home, but also free them from the hard-working life of peasants.

"Okay, I hope my cousin's family can come over, and if my cousin graduates from the old high school, a good job can be arranged for him. Auntie can just help take care of the baby, if she is willing."

Yang Shuning, like Yang's mother, also cares about her own people. If the times had not allowed it, Yang Shuning would also be the master of "one person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

"Auntie is right. Our family is pretty good now. We are already able to take care of the people in our hometown. We can't have enough to eat and drink in the capital while our relatives eat chaff and drink water in the countryside."

Yang Shuchen, like Mother Yang and Yang Shuning, were very supportive.

Only Ding Qiunan beside her looked puzzled. In her world, there was no concept of clan, because their family came back from abroad and no longer had the concept of family inheritance.

"Mom, when you send the telegram tomorrow, be more detailed and tell us about our family's difficulties. I hope my aunt will come to help. I think if you just invite them to come over to improve their lives, they may not come, but there is a shortage of people in the family and I would like to ask my aunt. If they come to help, their family should come over, right?”

The business that Yang Shuning considered was not comprehensive, but he believed that no matter what the reason was, whether his cousin and the others were leaving the countryside or coming over to help, as long as they were willing to come over, someone would take care of the little watermelon.
