Chapter 53 Fu Jingyou, bear the burden
"I know, I'll do it as soon as possible."

"Ok!"

Lu Miao was satisfied after receiving a firm reply.

Pulling the small basket on the table and shaking it, she stood up proudly, "The green apricots were picked for me, I took them away!"

Fu Jingyou nodded.

Lu Miao asked tentatively: "I guess this little basket was made for me and I took it away?"

"Ah."

Lu Miao asked for a hat and a bamboo basket, but she never asked for a bamboo basket, but before we went out together, she would always hold things with her hands, and Fu Jingyou had always noticed it.

When cutting the bamboo when weaving the bamboo hat, Fu Jingyou had an idea in mind, so he cut two more pieces and came back to weave the bamboo basket together.

Lu Miao fiddled with the small basket and was extremely satisfied, "I'm leaving then. See you later!"

Fu Jingyou just nodded, then raised his hand and shouted: "Wait."

Lu Miao turned back blankly, "What else is there?"

"shoe."

Fu Jingyou went around the door and took Lu Miao's cloth shoes from the stove.

The cloth shoes had been scrubbed clean, and the water stains had long been dried by the fire in the stove. Fu Jingyou bowed slightly and gently placed the shoes in front of Lu Miao.

To be honest, Lu Miao was stunned for a moment, but soon she put on her shoes and walked back to the door in a small step, "Okay, I'm really leaving this time! You just sit down, you don't need to see me off."

Fu Jingyou took a step forward and restrained himself from retracting the foot that had not yet touched the ground. He nodded inaudibly, "Go ahead. Be careful when passing through the bamboo forest."

Lu Miao grabbed the bamboo basket and ran out of the yard. The kitchen area in the backyard suddenly became deserted. Fu Jingyou was a little uncomfortable with it, but before he could make any move, the person who disappeared at the door a second ago suddenly looked back and said, "Fu Jingyou !”

"Huh?" Fu Jingyou straightened up, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing. I just forgot to tell you that there is a lot of ginger in the small package I brought over. We won't be able to eat that much for a while. You can pick and choose! See if you can plant the ones with more buds."

"it is good."

"I'm really leaving this time!"

Lu Miao was an eccentric person, snickering with bright eyes and white teeth. When he spoke, he really stuck out his tongue and ran away playfully and happily.

The back door was empty again. Fu Jingyou slowly raised his big palm and rubbed his forehead with a sense of loss. Just when he felt a little sad, the door in front was suddenly knocked.

"Jingyou? Are you in the house?"

Soon, Chen Guifen's voice came.

"Yes." Fu Jingyou responded and quickly went to the front room to unlock the door bolt: "Auntie, why are you here?"

"You kid, tell me..."

Chen Guifen carried the old basket into the house and put the crispy and tender cowpeas in the basket on the big table in the hall. She turned around and asked Fu Jingyou:

"What have you been doing these days? Even if you haven't gone home to eat, why can't you see anyone all day long?"

Fu Jingyou's eyes flickered, and he answered truthfully after a long silence: "I'm going to Yanji."

"You went to Yanji?"

Chen Guifen was shocked.

Fu Jingyou said slowly: "I heard that there is work at the wharf over there, so I went over to have a look and see if I can do more before the busy farming season."

There was also recruitment in the 70s, but unlike the stable "iron rice bowl" of state-owned industries, without a diploma and no one to recommend, the jobs that could be found were all hard work.

Usually in the team, He Hongjin and his wife are strict about their words. No one in the production team says anything about Fu Jingyou, but everyone knows about Fu Jingyou's life experience.In order to avoid conflicts and cause public outrage, He Hongjin and his wife never favored Fu Jingyou when it came to daily work.

For the same work, other strong laborers in the team can get eight to ten work points a day. Fu Jingyou has a special status. According to the convention, even if he completes the task well, he will only get half of the work points of others.

That little work point was not enough to support a young man, and He Hongjin and his wife did take care of him. But after all, Fu Jingyou was such a young man, and his hands and feet were sound. How could he continue to rely on them for support with peace of mind?

A few years ago, Fu Jingyou had already had the experience of working outside.

"Yanji and Nanhu Town are separated by a river. They are still a place of birth. What do you think..."

Afraid that Fu Jingyou wouldn't like what he said, Chen Guifen sighed and changed the subject, "Auntie is afraid that you might have something going on outside. Your uncle and I are far away and I don't know what's going on. What should I do at that time?"

"Auntie, I have considered everything you said, but I am already 21 years old and not a child anymore."

Fu Jingyou was silent for a long time, and finally spoke frankly:
"You and uncle can't protect me forever. There will come a time when I have to stand alone."

This time when he went out to "carry out the work," Fu Jingyou's words contained mixed truth and falsehood.

There is a certain risk in what he does, and not only this time, but every time in the future will be the same.

He was aware of his situation, so he never went to the He family again when he returned to the production team. All he wanted to do was to gradually develop a relationship with the He family.

It would be fine if he succeeds. He won't have to worry about not having the chance to repay the He family in the future.

But if unfortunately someone takes the blame...

He can do anything, the He family is kind to him, and he must not implicate the He family.

Thinking about it, Fu Jingyou said slowly: "Auntie, from now on I will cook dinner at home and won't go to your place."

The alarm bell rang in Chen Guifen's heart, "You brat, are you causing trouble outside?"

"……No."

"Why didn't you say this? Do you know how to cook?"

Chen Guifen asked suspiciously: "I don't ask you to go to my house to eat every day. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to cook well. Occasionally, you can go there and improve the food. What's the matter? Or are you saying that your uncle and I have offended you?"

Having said this, what else can Fu Jingyou say?
Fu Jingyou shook his head like a rattle and couldn't say anything except "no".

Others think that Fu Jingyou has a wild temperament and is not afraid of being beaten or scolded. In the past, when he was beaten to a bloody head, he became more and more courageous.

Everyone else is afraid of him, but Chen Guifen is the one who almost raised him. Chen Guifen knows his temper very well.

He is cold-tempered, but he is also filial and obedient.

Chen Guifen's words revealed Fu Jingyou's inner honesty and sincerity.

"You are not young now, so you want to save some money for your wife. If you want to go out to do the work, my aunt won't stop you, but you have agreed that you have to say hello every time you go out, do you hear me?"

Fu Jingyou nodded silently.

Chen Guifen raised him as her own child, and when she spoke, she was very preaching. "If you want to try to fire by yourself, then try it first, but this does not prevent you from going over to eat. Even if I call you over, you still have to go over, do you understand?"

"Ah."

Unable to refuse, Fu Jingyou could only respond dully.

But if you agree, you agree. What you do in the future is a matter for the future.

"Jingyou, my aunt won't hide it from you. Over the years, my aunt and your uncle have long regarded you as their own child."

Chen Guifen was satisfied, took the empty bamboo basket and prepared to go home. When she walked to the door of the hall, she turned around again:

"Tell us what you need. My wife is actually not in a hurry to save. Your uncle and your brother Guang Lin have said that this matter will be their share."
