Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 389 Moving
After waiting for about 15 minutes, Zhang Simin came out holding the packed quilt, followed by a half-grown boy with empty hands.

While Zhang Simin was putting down the quilt, the half-grown boy walked around the jeep, touching left and right, and even went directly into the cab to play with the steering wheel.

Looking at it, Gu Weijun secretly cursed in his heart and frowned slightly, whose child is this? Isn't it too unruly?

While Zhang Simin was putting away her luggage, she hurriedly shouted to the young man: "Siming, come down quickly, don't be careless, and say hello to your brother Gu."

Then he introduced Gu Weijun with a slight smile: "Weijun, this is my younger brother, Siming. He is in the second grade of junior high school this year."

As if he hadn't heard anything, the half-grown boy was still squirming around in the driver's seat, imitating driving. From time to time he would shake the gear lever and step on the accelerator and brake.
"Come down quickly!" Zhang Simin was a little angry, especially when he saw that Gu Weijun's expression had slowly faded away and his smile had slowly faded. He was afraid that Gu Weijun would drive away if he got angry.

Facing Zhang Simin's yelling, Zhang Siming lazily slipped out of the car and said, "This iron guy can't be broken. What's wrong with playing for a while?"

Zhang Simin walked up to her brother and scolded her sternly, "Hurry up and call someone!"

"Brother Gu!"

Suddenly Zhang Siming's eyes lit up, he ran a few steps towards Gu Weijun and shouted to him: "Brother Gu, will you teach me how to drive?"

"If you have the ability, recommend me to the university where you are currently working. Otherwise, I might as well find a class after graduating from junior high school."

"You" Zhang Simin was not a quick-tongued person to begin with, so he was so stunned by his younger brother that he was speechless.

Zhang Siming retorted unconvinced, "What's the use of learning so much now? Don't you need a recommendation to go to school?"

Listening to what this old man said, Gu Weijun found it very ironic. His elder brother was teaching his younger brother, why are you, a neighbor who can't even fight, pretending to be a big guy here?

"What are you talking about?" At this time, Zhu Jue was holding a large canvas bag with both hands, dragging the bag forward with one foot and one heel to the courtyard gate. Upon seeing this, Zhang Simin quickly ran two steps to his side and picked it up. He complained: "Didn't I say I would move?"

"You are still a junior high school student, so you have to study hard."

"I learn quickly."

Gu Weijun didn't say anything and just watched quietly. However, the old man next to him spoke, "Xiao Ming is right. Now we are the working class. The working people are the most glorious. Experts and professors are all... "

"Didn't you earn so little money after so many years after graduating from college? You can't even get a house?"

"How could you ask your brother Gu to teach you how to drive when we first met?"

"Being a driver makes as much money as a college student like you!"

Then he turned around and scolded his younger brother: "How can you be so unruly?"

Furthermore, Gu Weijun was very puzzled. If Zhang Simin's family had such a family environment, how did he get into college? Could it be the workers, peasants and soldiers of 70 years later? But the time is wrong?
Gu Weijun secretly laughed at Zhang Simin's younger brother's whims. Yes, it is recommended that the political review system recommends workers, peasants and soldiers for admission, but is the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences run by your family? Just because your brother works as a laboratory technician in the research institute?

Gu Weijun said nothing, looking down at him calmly. He slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put one in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, took a slow puff, and then spit it out. Still didn't speak
It was only then that Zhang Simin took a symbolic trot to his brother's side and pulled Zhang Siming, "Weijun, I'm sorry, my brother was spoiled by my parents at home and is not sensible."

"I have long been envious of the driver's air of arrogance. In this way, I can be a driver!"

"What should you do if you stretch yourself?"

Zhu Jue smiled brightly, "I'm not a spoiled person, I just carry some clothes, they're not heavy." Then he turned to Gu Weijun and said with a smile: "Weijun, my parents-in-law are still asking you?"

"You're here today, why don't you come in and sit down?" "Why don't you come in and have a drink of water?"

Only then did Zhang Simin react and glared at her brother fiercely. Originally, her parents had asked her brother to come out and invite Gu Weijun to their door. But as soon as the boy saw the jeep, he forgot everything and just went to play.

"Yes, Weijun, come and sit in the room for a while. Your sister and I still have some things to pack, so we need you to wait a little longer."

Gu Weijun gently glanced at the young Zhang Siming, smiled and shook his head, "I won't bother you today. It's not easy for Xiaolin to ask for leave. I'm in a hurry to get back."

"Besides, the sun is nice today, so I just want to sit here and enjoy some sunshine."

Zhu Jue gently pulled Zhang Simin, who was about to continue talking, and said with a smile: "Weijun, just wait a little longer, and we'll have some scattered things."

"Siming, come here, I'll give you some money. You go and buy a few bottles of soda for my sister-in-law." After calling her brother-in-law over, she gave him fifty cents. After Zhang Siming took it, he quickly disappeared.

Zhu Jue said politely again, "Wei Jun, please wait a little longer." He turned around and pulled his husband into the courtyard gate.

"The old Zhang family is lucky. The daughter-in-law they married is good-looking and has a good temper. Although she is a college student, she is not the kind of person who rolls her eyelids to the sky." The old man who spoke before began to comment here again. .

Gu Weijun rolled his eyes slightly, became a little more enthusiastic, gave a few old men cigarettes, and gradually brought the topic to Zhang Simin's house.

It turned out that Zhang Simin's ancestors had also been officials, and this courtyard was originally the Zhang family's residence. Unfortunately, it was completely destroyed by his grandfather in the late Qing Dynasty, leaving only a back room to barely accommodate it.

That is to say, in the new society, comprehensive detoxification has allowed this man to become a normal person, pulling a cart and working with his son.

When the old man got old, he came to regret it, and used the little money he had left to support his eldest grandson's education. Zhang Simin really had that talent and became a college student. After graduation, he also joined the government department and returned the wife he asked for.

As for Zhang Simin's mother, she is a bannerman - Han Banner. She has never worked in her life, and she relies on Zhang Simin's old rickshaw pulling to make ends meet.

As soon as they chatted, Zhang Siming ran back quickly with two bottles of soda in his hand. After giving one to Gu Weijun, he tilted his mouth and bit open the bottle cap with his molars, then finished the bottle with a slurp. After finishing the drink, he licked his lips and looked longingly at the cup in Gu Weijun's hand.

Gu Weijun impatiently handed it to him, then waved his hand and continued to squat down and listen to the old men gossiping.

Listening to the gossip, the time passed quickly, and it felt like Zhu Jue and his wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law came out in a short while, carrying several packages in their hands.

"Hey, uncle and aunt, how come you two are still out?" Gu Weijun saw Zhu Jue's father-in-law and mother-in-law coming out and immediately went to greet them. After all, they are relatives now. They are elders, so they cannot neglect etiquette.

Knowing that both of them smoked, he quickly took out the Chinese toast and gave it to the two old people, "I thought it was an impromptu move this time and I didn't have any preparations, so I won't bother."

"Aren't we home? I didn't invite you in for a drink of water. That's too rude, so my wife and I came out to greet you." This time at the courtyard gate, there was plenty of sunshine, and Gu Weijun took a closer look at Zhu Jue's mother-in-law's face. Appearance - the old lady is a bit thin, wearing a slanted jacket, and her head is wrapped with a handkerchief.

"It's not worth it, it's not worth it!" Gu Weijun waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just helping my sister carry some luggage. I'm still waiting anxiously at home. Grandpa and auntie, please come and bother me next time."

Looking at Gu Weijun, she really didn't want to go home. When Zhu Jue's mother-in-law saw her youngest son standing next to her, her eyes lit up and said, "Siming, why are you just standing there stupidly? Hurry up and take the things from your sister-in-law's hands. Don't tire her." .”

"You go with the car to help, and don't let your sister-in-law get her hands on it!"

Seeing that her youngest son was still standing there in a daze, refusing to move, the old lady staggered over and patted his arm, "What are you still doing?"

"Oh~" At this time, Zhu Jue's brother-in-law moved reluctantly, helped stuff a few packages into the back seat of the jeep, and then got in the car as a matter of course.
