The next morning.
Wu Jianguo woke up early and left the city alone. He went to a quiet place at the foot of the mountain to smoke a cigarette before taking out four pheasants and a wild rabbit from the small plane. Then, he walked into the city.
He first went to Chief Wang's house and knocked on the door."Aunt Wang, I'm here."
Chief Wang saw that Wu Jianguo was carrying four pheasants and a rabbit. He said happily,"Jianguo, sorry to trouble you. Come in and sit.”
Wu Jianguo placed the pheasant and rabbit on the ground and said,""Aunty Wang, you're too polite. With this little ability, how can I not help my own people?”
Chief Wang patted Wu Jianguo and said with a smile,"Aunty Wang can't win against you, but Aunty Wang is really indebted to you. It just so happens that I'm resting today.”
Wu Jianguo quickly waved his hand." Aunt Wang, next time. I'm worried about Nini being alone at home. I'll bring Nini over when I have time."”
Chief Wang did not stop him when he heard that. He smiled and said,"Alright, then remember to come."
"Alright, then I'll take my leave, Aunt Wang." Wu Jianguo nodded.”
Chief Wang wiped his hands and said,"I'll send you off."”
Wu Jianguo held Chief Wang's shoulder and said,"Come on, Aunt Wang, we're not outsiders. There's no need to be so particular.”
Chief Wang had no choice but to say," Alright, then Aunty Wang won't send you. Remember to bring Nini over for dinner."”
Wu Jianguo waved his hand and left.
At this moment, Wang Li came out of the house. She looked at the pheasant and rabbit on the ground and said excitedly,"Mom, Jianguo sent it? He was really capable, but it was also because of his mother's good taste.”
Chief Wang smiled." That's right. I've been a chief physician for so many years. How could I have misjudged someone? It's a pity that your father and Yuanchao went out. Otherwise, I would have stayed for Jianguo for a meal."”
"What's the rush? It's only a matter of time." Wang Li smiled.”
Wu Jianguo walked out of the alley, found a secluded place, took out two pheasants, and walked back to the courtyard.
Yan Fugui was tidying up the plants at the door. When he saw Wu Jianguo coming in with a pheasant, his eyes lit up."Jianguo, Third Uncle has a bottle of good wine. Shall we have a drink at noon?”
How could Wu Jianguo not know what Yan Fugui was thinking? So he smiled and said," Third Uncle, look at these two chickens. You also know that I have many sisters. I don't have enough to eat at home."”With that, she turned around and went home.
Yan Fugui's expression didn't look good. Yan Jiefang, who was resting at home, frowned and said,""Why doesn't this kid understand the ways of the world? Should I teach him a lesson?”
Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiefang like he was a fool and said,"You can beat Silly Zhu? Even Silly Zhu didn't take advantage of him, and you? Besides, our family is not the kind of people who oppress others with their power. Remember not to provoke Wu Jianguo for no reason. He is not easy to talk to.”
Yan Jiefang then remembered the conflict between Silly Zhu and Wu Jianguo. He felt a lingering fear in his heart. If he were to face Wu Jianguo, wouldn't he be sent to his doorstep to be beaten up? Hence, he smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
Yan Fugui's eyes darted around as he thought about how to build a good relationship with Wu Jianguo so that he could take advantage of him. Now, Wu Jianguo was not only a level-14 technician, but he could also go hunting in the mountains. If he could help his family, his life would be much better.
One had to know that there was not enough food to eat at the moment. Yan Fugui used the fine grain at home to exchange for dried sweet potatoes in the village every time. This barely prevented his family from starving.
Wu Jianguo returned to the house and placed the two chickens in the kitchen. Before he went to the living room, the little girl Nini came in and said with her fingers in her mouth,"Brother, do you want to eat meat tonight?"
Looking at his sister's innocent appearance, he picked her up and smiled."We can eat whenever Nini wants to.”
Nini smacked her lips and then hugged Wu Jianguo's neck with a satisfied expression."Brother is so nice."
The two siblings came to the door and sat on a small stool to talk. At this time, a seven or eight-year-old black and thin boy carried a large bundle of firewood and walked into the courtyard with difficulty. Wu Jianguo frowned and said to Nini,"Does Nini know whose child he is?”
Nini immediately raised her little head and said,"Nini knows. Brother Tie Dan is from Auntie Yang's family. He's a neighbor of Sister Niu Niu."”
"Does Nini know why Bruiser is carrying firewood?" Wu Jianguo asked with a smile.”
Nini shook her head blankly, indicating that she did not know.
Wu Jianguo also secretly smiled. He thought to himself, Nini is still young, so she doesn't know much. So, he carried Nini to Wang Lihua's house.
"Jianguo is here. Come in and sit." Wang Lihua welcomed him warmly. Because of Wu Jianguo, her family had been eating a lot of meat these few days. At this time when they were starving, this was a luxury. Therefore, she was very grateful to Wu Jianguo. Moreover, the two of them had acknowledged each other as godrelatives, so she treated Wu Jianguo as her nephew.
"Brother Jianguo." Zhao Juan and Zhao Xian also came over to greet him.
He placed Nini on the ground to play with Zhao Juan and Zhao Xian, then asked,""Aunt Wang, what's going on with Bruiser's family? Why is such a small child carrying such a big bundle of firewood?”
Wang Lihua sighed and said," Jianguo, you don't know. Yang Ni's family is in a difficult situation. Her husband broke the rules and died, so she can't take over the post. She can only live alone with her child. She barely survives by taking odd jobs on the streets. If it weren't for the fact that she can't even afford to go to school, she would also be a pitiful person. Sigh…"”
Wang Lihua also wanted to help Yang Ni, but her own family was not full, so how could she have the spare energy to help her family?
"Aunt Wang, didn't the old man in the courtyard say that he would help?" asked Wu Jianguo curiously.”
Wang Lihua rolled her eyes and said sarcastically,""Three masters, Third Master Yan Fugui's family is also in a difficult situation. They don't have enough food to eat. Second Master's family can do it, but no one's family is rich now. As for First Master, he only has eyes for the Jia family and Silly Pillar.”
Wu Jianguo nodded to show that he understood. Then, he said to the three little girls who were playing,"Xiaojuan, go and call Tiedan's mother over. I have something to do.”
The three little girls agreed and ran out of the house hand in hand.
Wang Lihua knew that Wu Jianguo wanted to help the Yang family and was happy for Yang Ni. With Jianguo helping the family, they would definitely live on.
Wu Jianguo had just returned home when the three maids brought a woman in her thirties into the house.
Although the woman's body was covered in patches, she was clean. Although her face was yellow, there was no flattering smile.
Jianguo, you were looking for me?"
Wu Jianguo let Yang Ni into the house and said,"Aunt Yang, please sit."
"Jianguo, I'm only a few years older than you. You can just call me Sister Yang." Yang Ni quickly waved her hand.”
Wu Jianguo smiled and said," Sure, Sister Yang. You also know that my family only has my sister and I. We don't know how to clean the house. I just want to ask Sister Yang to help me clean the house. Of course, I won't let you do it for free."”
Yang Ni's eyes turned red when she heard this. She knew that Wu Jianguo was helping her, but it was not good for their reputations to be involved with a widow.
She did odd jobs on the streets, and it wasn't every day. If she could help Wu Jianguo clean up the house and earn some money, then the family's life would be easier.
