Chapter 579 Giving a Helping Hand! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

I spent two days in my hometown, which was quite relaxing and enjoyable.

Lots of large meat-filled dumplings!

In the present-day Wujia Village, this would be considered an absolute luxury.

Putting everything else aside, those two rascals, Wu Aidang and Wu Aijun, have visibly gained weight, and their younger sister, Wu Aihong, is getting increasingly rosy-cheeked.

The story of the three siblings is quite interesting.

After escaping the tedious housework and the coldness and violence brought about by the patriarchal ideology, the younger sister Wu Aihong devoted herself wholeheartedly to her studies and suddenly burst forth.

According to her confident statement, she plans to skip a grade and go directly to junior high school next semester.

As for Ai Dang and Ai Jun's grades, it's a foregone conclusion that they will have to repeat a grade.

At that time, Ai Hong and Ai Jun will probably be classmates in the same class!
This highly probable event left Aijun feeling gloomy for quite some time, and even his own mother, Zhang Li, was depressed for a while as well.

If it weren't for Wu Aiguo's support, Xiaomei Aihong would probably have suffered again.

Human prejudice is a mountain, not so easy to move.

When they left, almost the entire village came out to see them off.

The semi-enclosed hand-held tractor's trailer was piled high with various mountain products and homemade snacks given to it by the villagers.

By the time we reached the entrance to the mountain path, it was already late morning.

When Wu Zhi started the hand-held tractor, his face was flushed with pride.

This time, returning home for the Chinese New Year, he truly returned in triumph.

If it weren't for the timing, I bet the village secretaries and heads from the surrounding villages, and even the town leaders, would have come over to greet us warmly.

Zhang Li was also in a very good mood!

She was quite addicted to the feeling of being the center of attention.

I was relieved that I had come to Wuzhi's parents' house.

If he were to go back to his parents' home for the New Year, it's hard to say what Wu Zhi would think.

Her family will most likely only want benefits from her.

Putting everything else aside, her little brother Zhang Xiaobao has recently gotten into trouble again.

He tried to emulate others' playful nature, but ended up looking like a dog instead of a tiger.

He was beaten up by some troublemaker and ended up in the hospital.

The troublemaker who injured Zhang Xiaobao was a recently risen hoodlum from the Xinjiekou area of ​​Xicheng District.

In such cases, unless the scoundrel can be beaten to death, reporting it to the police is useless and may even lead to bigger trouble.

It's impossible for Zhang Li not to worry when her younger brother, whom she had spoiled since childhood, was beaten up and hospitalized.

She even went to see it secretly twice!
But there was nothing she could do!
She knew nothing about what was happening on the street.

In particular, after hearing about the little rascal's behavior, she dared not tell Wu Zhi, for fear of dragging him down with her.

Having finally become the factory director's wife, she didn't want anything to go wrong.

In particular, because of her younger brother's affair, her husband lost his position as factory director, and it's estimated that the couple will have no future.

She doesn't have much money on hand right now, so there's nothing she can do to help.

Her family members have criticized her a lot for this.

That's how it is; I feel quite disheartened.

I simply stopped caring about things at my parents' house, and I felt much more relaxed, with fewer worries that I couldn't talk about.

"Patriotism, why don't you drive?"

Seeing that Wu Aiguo was about to ride his bicycle back to the city, Wu Zhi said, "I'll ride my bicycle back!"

"forget it!"

Wu Aiguo waved his hand and said, "When I ride my bike, I can also get some exercise. Can you do that?" After saying that, he waved his hand to indicate that the tractor could start.

As a result, many people saw a strange scene on their way to the city on the third day of junior high school.

A semi-enclosed hand-held tractor sputtered along at a decent speed, and a bicycle with a 28-inch frame followed beside it, managing to keep up with the tractor's pace—quite impressive.

When he arrived at the Gulou Repair Shop, Wu Aiguo was still in high spirits. He rode his bicycle to patrol the security department, ready to start working at any time.

On the contrary, Wu Zhi, who was driving the tractor, Zhang Li, who was riding in the tractor, and the three children all looked listless and disheveled, clearly having endured a bumpy and arduous journey.

There's no need to be so serious on the first day of work.

The entire factory area was bustling with people, yet a lazy atmosphere permeated the air.

It's as if everyone is still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year and hasn't completely shaken off that state yet.

That evening, Wu Aiguo returned to the courtyard, a rare occurrence for him.

After resting in the afternoon, stepmother Zhang Li had recovered and prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

Originally, Wu Zhi wanted to invite a few close friends over for a drink, but unfortunately, none of them came.

Although their reasons were perfectly reasonable, Wu Zhi wasn't stupid; how could he not know that the other party was intentionally distancing themselves?

Well, the workers were very confident at that moment.

Unless you're courting disaster, there's absolutely no need to curry favor with or fawn over officials. The prevailing view is that everyone is doing their job, just with different roles.

"Dad, you have to get used to this situation!"

Wu Aiguo said calmly, "In the future, you will have a new social circle. Just don't get too emotionally involved!"

"Look at what you're saying. Isn't treating others with sincerity the most basic quality?"

Wu Zhi said unhappily, "If you keep doing this, how will you make any friends in the future?"

What you need now is not friends, but like-minded allies!

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "Don't rush to refute me. You'll understand as you experience it!"

After saying that, he didn't continue the dull topic, but instead shifted his focus to his two underlings.

He loves to reopen old wounds; the more he reopens them, the more satisfied he feels!

He was referring to his academic performance, of course.

The two younger brothers were quite resistant to studying and wanted to leave school early to work and earn money.

Then, Wu Aiguo came up with a bad idea: to have Wu Zhi put down his work for a while and spend some time each day taking his two younger brothers to transport coal.

This stuff was quite profitable before the Lunar New Year.

As a result, the two guys only worked for less than three days before crying and saying they didn't want to continue.

Although making money is great, their bodies simply can't handle that kind of intense physical exertion.

When Wu Aiguo found out, he beat the two guys up without saying a word.

Then, together with them and Zhang Li, the stepmother who was not very happy, they strolled around the streets for two days.

On the streets, there are many teenagers and even children helping their parents haul coal.

Wu Aiguo pointed at them and told his two younger brothers to take a good look at how far other families would go to survive.

This time, even the stepmother Zhang Li resolutely stood on Wu Aiguo's side.

Just kidding, the two-day street tour left her feeling quite down.

She found it hard to imagine what it would be like if her two beloved biological sons could only do heavy manual labor to make a living because they couldn't get into school.

Just thinking about it makes my chest feel tight and suffocated.

As for having his two biological sons take over Wu Zhi and Wu Aiguo's jobs, that's just a joke.
