Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 499 I Want to Be Transferred Back

Gu Weijun also smiled, walked directly to his brother, hugged him tightly, and patted his brother's back hard.

Then he grabbed Gu Weimin's shoulders with both hands, shook them vigorously, and smiled with satisfaction: "Well, not bad."

"It's not in vain to stay in the country."

"At least this body is OK."

My younger brother Gu Weimin is also 21 years old this year. In 68, when he was 15 years old, he left Beijing and went to the countryside.

Fortunately, thanks to the connections Gu Weijun had found for him in advance, and because his brother's household registration had always been in his hometown in the countryside in Northeast China, he was able to return home very smoothly.

Although it is said to be going to the countryside, it is actually equivalent to living in my hometown all the time.

Bang Geng was the one who went to the countryside with Gu Weijun through his connections.

Gu Weijun put his arm around his brother's shoulders and walked into the main room. Zhu Lin was sorting clothes and coming out of the east room with the child in her arms. She must have been feeding the child in the room just now, so his brother went straight to the yard.

Zhu Lin smiled sweetly when she saw Gu Weijun: "Weijun, you're back!"

"Yeah, I just got back this afternoon."

When Gu Weijun saw Zhu Lin, he opened his arms and said, "Come, let me hug Tuantuan."

"Oh, it's a lot heavier now!"

Gu Weijun carefully took his son Gu Jianzhang from Zhu Lin's arms and held him in his arms.

It could be that the child had just finished breastfeeding and was in a good mood, or it could be that he smelled the scent of his father from Gu Weijun.

As soon as Gu Weijun held his son in his arms, his two little hands kept waving and he laughed.

"Look," Gu Weijun said proudly, "Xiao Lin, you are worthy of being my son."

"Just seeing me makes me happy!"

Gu Weijun didn't dare to kiss his son's face. Adults at this age all carry bacteria to a certain extent, and it is very easy to infect the children when kissing them.

While rocking his son back and forth, Gu Weijun asked Gu Weimin: "Weimin, why did you think of coming back before National Day this year?"

"What about the New Year?"

Gu Weimin touched his head and said, "I came back this time to ask my parents something."

"Oh?" Gu Weijun looked at Gu Ma strangely, then turned back and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Didn't you always write letters before?"

Gu Weimin hesitated to speak.

Gu Weijun saw that his brother seemed a little shy, and he guessed it immediately, "You found a girlfriend in your hometown?"

"Are they educated youth who went down there or locals from our hometown?"

"She was an educated youth who went down with me," Gu Weimin did not hide it after his brother guessed it. "Her family is from Chongwen District in Beijing. She lives on the street next to the Xihua cloth shop."

“The ingredients in her house aren’t particularly good.”

"She was the middle child in the family, and her grandmother and uncle didn't love her, so she went to the countryside early."

"Her family probably didn't have the financial ability to send her money. She had a hard life before."

Zhu Lin then brought a cup of tea to Gu Weijun and asked, "How old is that girl?"

"Last name?"

"Do you want to ask your family?"

Gu Weimin replied shyly: "The last name is Wang, Wang Xiufang, two years older than me. Her parents are now working as workers at the Beijing Cotton Mill, doing hard labor and earning little."

"Well, we don't need to consider what kind of family the other party belongs to!" Gu Weijun interrupted his brother's story, "We have enough money and houses, as long as the person has good character, that's fine."

"How is your character?"

"She is a very nice person!" Gu Weimin explained quickly: "Since she went to the countryside, she has been doing all kinds of hard work and never complained."

"Even in those days, she refused to lag behind"

Gu Weijun shook his head slightly. "Weimin, this is a work attitude, and it doesn't fully reflect a person's character. How do you get along with the villagers and other educated youth?"

Gu Weimin scratched his head again, "Everything is fine, right?"

Well, it's obvious that the boy has fallen in love. He thinks everything about the other person is good, so I probably can't ask him anything. "So you want your parents to agree that you two can be together?" Gu Weijun asked again.

"I" Gu Weimin mustered up his courage and blurted out: "I want to marry her!"

"Wow!" Gu Weimin's loud voice scared Gu Jianzhang to tears.

Gu Weijun said with disdain, "Just get married, I guessed it a long time ago. Why are you speaking so loudly? Look, you scared your nephew."

"Come here, Tuantuan, be good, don't cry, don't cry." Gu Weijun shook her gently, "It's you, your stupid uncle, who wants to get married but is worried about your family's objection. Don't be afraid anymore."

"Let me do it," Zhu Lin took her son from Gu Weijun's arms, "It's probably time for him to go to bed. I'll take him back to the room and coax him to sleep."

Zhu Lin took the child to the east room. Gu Weijun looked at his brother with amusement, what a pure and innocent boy.
It’s a pity that I will never have this opportunity in this life.

"Marriage is a matter between two people. If you want to get married, this is called Wang"

"Wang Xiufang."

"Well, did Wang Xiufang agree?"

"Uh" his younger brother Gu Weimin was immediately speechless, "Not yet"

"Could it be that the other party hasn't agreed to establish a relationship with you yet?"

"."

"Well, you are just too enthusiastic."

Gu Weijun was completely defeated by his younger brother. Well, forget it, it’s a necessary path for any man.

"Then you are coming back this time?"

Gu Weimin blushed, "Xiufang said that she would consider her other half only when she returns to Beijing."

"So, I thought about asking my family for help and using their connections to transfer both of us back first." As Gu Weimin spoke, his voice became lower and lower, while he stole glances at his brother Gu Weijun.

Because if there was anyone in his family who had the ability to transfer him and Wang Xiufang back to Beijing, the only one would be Gu Weijun.

"It's definitely out of the question now." Gu Weijun patiently explained to his brother, "Because of the 72-50 Plan in , our country invested more than billion US dollars to introduce light textile industry and large fertilizer industry to improve people's livelihood."

"After the project was launched, the country's finances began to become tight again, so this year we started preparing to mobilize junior high school graduates in the city to go to the countryside."

"So," Gu Weijun spread his hands, "How can we transfer you two back to Beijing at this time?"

"Then" Gu Weimin said bitterly, "Brother, when can we come back?"

Gu Weijun answered the question irrelevantly: "I asked you to keep reading and studying. Did you persist?"

Gu Weimin was confused and said with some emotion, "You don't want me to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. I..."

"I was able to hold on for the first two years, but in the past two years, I felt there was no hope, so I just looked at it occasionally every day."

"I see." Gu Weijun sighed, "That means I didn't read it."

Gu Weimin remained silent.

"Do you know why I have never allowed you to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"

"Are you going to have to live in a rural collective, do farm work, and do hard labor?"

Gu Weimin looked up, full of confusion.

"The Chairman said it well. There is a vast world in the countryside with great potential!"

"Why is this?"

"Because you have been raised in the city since childhood, you are lazy and don't know the difference between grains. When you grow up, you will fall into the circle of the petty bourgeoisie."

"Only after experiencing the hard life in the countryside can you improve your spiritual cultivation and ideological realm by exercising your body."

"This way, no matter what work you do in the future, you will not back down because of a little difficulty."

“Because you have already suffered.”

“But, it looks like.”

“The effect isn’t that good!”
