Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 508 How do you choose?

"Are you done with your work?"

"Ah."

"How long can we stay?"

"I'll go back to the capital tonight."

"That's okay, there's no place to sleep at home anyway."

"Next time, remember to bring your wife and children back so that I can see your breasts."

"Ah."

Returning to the courtyard of my grandfather’s house, the family members were working, knocking out the remains of the previous adobe house in preparation for building a house in the spring.

His younger brother Gu Weimin and Banggian were also inside. Banggian had a scroll at his end that was very eye-catching.

There was a girl of average height next to the younger brother, who was chatting and laughing and working along.

"Second Army, awesome!"

Gu Weijun shouted, walked over, his eyes lingered on his brother and Banggeng for a moment, and then looked at the girl.

The girl was wearing a blue and black Lenin suit, which already had many patches, but was washed very clean. She was not particularly beautiful, but very attractive. The most impressive thing was her pair of sharp eyebrows.

So heroic!

"Brother, this is Wang Xiufang I'm talking about."

"Xiufang, this is my brother. He came to Northeast China to help coordinate supplies."

"Hello, brother, I am Wang Xiufang."

"Well, hello, Xiufang." Gu Weijun showed a satisfied smile, "Let's have a chat later."

"I'll have a few words with BangGeng first."

"Awesome."

"Uncle Junzi."

Gu Weijun took Banggian to the side, looked at the snow in the back mountain that had not yet dissipated, and turned to look at Banggian.

Bangge is already in his 20s, but he still has a bit of childishness on his face. It seems that he didn't suffer much when he went to the countryside with his younger brother Gu Weimin.

Yes, the Northeast was very rich at that time, so we could always have enough food to eat. In addition, Qin Huairu sent us money from time to time, and the government also provided subsidies, and we also counted our years of work as credits.

"Do you want to smoke?" Gu Weijun handed over a Zhonghua.

Banggeng took it cautiously, and Gu Weijun lit it for him with a lighter.

"Write letters to your mother more often when you have time. Your mother knows that after the earthquake here, she doesn't want to eat or drink, so she is particularly worried about you."

"Ah."

"Also, if you can read and study, you should continue to read and study. I am not only saying this to you, but also to Wei Min. The future must rely on knowledge."

"Ah."

"Are you friends here?"

Banggan turned his head and looked at a female educated youth in the courtyard, "I don't know if it counts."

Gu Weijun patted his shoulder and said, "As a man, you must first straighten your back and learn to work hard, so that girls will like you."

“Second, we must learn to take the initiative!”

"I know, Uncle Jun."

Seeing that Bangge was staring at the Chinese cigarette in his hand, Gu Weijun stuffed the remaining Chinese cigarettes into him, "Okay, let's go, remember to write more letters to home when you have time."

Then he waved to his younger brother and Wang Xiufang, "Let's go and walk around the village with me."

"Xiu Fang, I heard Wei Min say last night, is it okay if you don't go back to the capital?"

"Yes!"

Wang Xiufang's eyes were clear and firm. She looked at her future uncle and pursed her lips. "Brother, my family is not well off." "I am in the middle of the queue. If I go home, I can only sleep on the floor."

Wang Xiufang bravely asked, "Brother, Wei Min has always told me that you have always encouraged him not to give up studying, saying that the country will definitely need more intellectuals in the future."

"But now they are all workers', peasants and soldiers' universities."

"You don't agree with Wei Min going."

Gu Weijun's attitude was very gentle and he patiently explained to Wang Xiufang: "The country's idea is very good. It selects people with strong ideas and strong will from workers, peasants and soldiers to study in university."

"Become a new generation of intellectuals to replace the old generation of intellectuals."

"Yeah. But currently, it seems that this selection method is not optimal. So far, none of the workers, peasants and soldiers college students have been particularly outstanding. One of the reasons is that the foundation is too poor. And there is too much emphasis."

"So the results are not very good."

"But the development of a country is inseparable from the development of science and technology, so in the near future the generation that understands knowledge and culture will have a better future."

"Of course, I also hinted it to Wei Min. He may not have understood it yet."

Gu Weijun looked around. At this time, they had wandered to the foot of the back mountain, and there was no one around.

Only then did Gu Weijun reveal the real reason why he called them over, "I didn't mean not to return to the capital. I didn't just arrange for you two to be transferred to other places in the country."

"But there are several other places for you to choose from."

"First, Xiangjiang. One advantage of going to Xiangjiang is that it is dominated by Chinese society. The only thing is that many people speak Cantonese, that is, Cantonese, and then English. Is it a colony?"

Seeing his brother and future siblings dumbfounded, Gu Weijun smiled again, "Second, France. I have a few good friends in France. I've known them since 10 years ago."

"And there are a lot of Chinese in France, and there is no discrimination. This is because during World War I, a large number of Chinese workers married local women."

"This is one of the reasons why our leaders went to France to study abroad, and it was not just the French Revolution."

"Finally, it's the American emperor that I am currently stationed abroad, although I'm not sure how long I can stay abroad."

"But there is still no problem in arranging your life."

"only"

Wang Xiufang reacted immediately and asked, "Brother, what is it?"

Gu Weijun looked at his younger brother and shrugged, "Just think about it, can you live there smoothly?"

"Whether you go abroad or to Xiangjiang, what kind of job can you do specifically?"

"Those places are all capitalist, so why are they in such dire straits? As long as a job feels like you're not good enough, you can be fired at any time."

Why would Gu Weijun tell his younger brother and Wang Xiufang his future arrangements so straightforwardly?
The most important thing is to test the decision of the girl that my brother likes?
And Gu Weijun is not afraid of spreading the news. Can't I brag?

Wang Xiufang looked at Gu Weimin in confusion, and Gu Weimin happened to be looking at her too.

After Gu Weimin quietly whispered a few words into her ear, her eyes widened in disbelief and she took a deep breath, "Brother, I'll discuss this with Weimin."

"I have always told Weimin that we have to work hard on our own in the future, but today you suddenly told us that we have so many choices."

"My mind was a little confused for a while, and I didn't know what to choose. And I also want to ask Wei Min's opinion."

"We cannot let Wei Min leave his home thousands of miles away because of my own reasons."

"Okay!" Only then did Gu Weijun truly recognize Wang Xiufang, and truly support her relationship with her brother.

He has ideas, ideals, and spirit, and he also considers his younger brother's opinions and ideas.

Rather than being blindly self-interested.

This is the most important thing.

Of course, if Wang Xiufang really chose one of the three places just now, Gu Weijun would not break his promise, but the training for them would continue and he would not provide a particularly large amount of financial support.

But now if Wang Xiufang truly knows how to discuss the future with her brother, Gu Weijun will also give them a bright future.

Gu Weijun looked at the backs of his younger brother and Wang Xiufang going down the mountain, from heavy to light, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

We all have a bright future!
