Chapter 61 60 Zhu Lao 2's eldest daughter 7
Fuling touched his head with amusement.
"Your parents have to agree to this. If they agree, I have no objection."
Zhu Jingbei's eyes widened slightly when he heard this.
"Sister, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, as long as your parents agree, I have no objection."
Zhu Jingbei got Fuling's promise and turned to find Zhu Chunling.
"Mom! Mom! I want to be my big sister's little brother, is that okay?"
The more Zhu Jingbei spoke, the softer his voice became, and it was obvious that he lacked confidence.
Zhu Chunling rubbed her ears.
"Xiaobei, what did you say just now? Why didn't I hear it clearly?"
In order to avoid going hungry every day in the future, Zhu Jingbei plucked up the courage to look up at Zhu Chunling.
"Mom, I said I want to be my eldest sister's little brother."
Zhu Liming just came in from outside and heard his son's words. He was a little unable to react for a moment.
"Mom, you have brothers and they don't need me anymore. When my elder sister and I get home, we won't forget you when we have something delicious."
Zhu Chunling came back to her senses, grabbed his shoulders with both hands and asked.
"Who taught you these words?"
"No... no one taught me, I just came up with it myself."
Zhu Jingbei is ten years old this year but looks the same age as eight-year-old Zhu Jingyou, or even younger than Zhu Jingyou.
Thanks to their sister Fuling, the brothers Zhu Jingyou and Zhu Jingming never went hungry, so their faces were healthy and rosy, unlike their brothers Zhu Jingbei, who all had pale faces and it was obvious that they had not eaten enough.
However, after half a month of feeding, the complexion of several people has improved a lot.
But it's only slightly better than other people in the village.
It's still a little worse than brother Zhu Jingyou.
Zhu Liming pulled his son in front of him, squatted down and patiently asked him why he had such an idea.
Do Fuling and the others know what he is thinking?
Zhu Jingbei honestly knew that Fuling had already agreed, and as long as they agreed, it would be fine.
Zhu Liming found Poria cocos with half belief and half doubt.
Fuling did not exaggerate, but simply stated the facts.
Anyway, it's just a matter of having one more mouth to feed, so she doesn't mind Zhu Jingbei going back with them.
After spending some time together, she still likes this silly cousin very much.
At first, no one else knew what Zhu Jingbei was thinking, but in less than an afternoon, everyone in the Zhu family knew what Zhu Jingbei was thinking.
Old Man Zhu, Old Man Zhu thought his grandson was being naughty.
The second son's family has a city household registration and a head of grain, but the little grandson's household registration is in the countryside, so he doesn't get a head of grain when he goes to the city.
At first, Zhu Jingbei just had this idea, but the more his family forbade him to go, the more he wanted to go.
In the end, Zhu Liming and his wife had no choice but to compromise.
Old Man Zhu and Old Lady Zhu also secretly gave money to their daughter-in-law Pan Meili.
Before Pan Meili could even warm up her money, Fuling took it away.
It was Zhu Jingbei’s first time traveling far away, and everything he saw was strange to him.
Zhu Jingyou and Zhu Jingming are not opposed to this extra brother.
Several people on the train were chattering and time passed quickly.
The next day after returning to the city, Zhu Fuman and his wife went to work.
Fuling and the others also went to school one after another.
Fuling enrolled Zhu Jingbei and Zhu Jingyou in the same grade.
Zhu Jingyou started school at the age of six, skipped a grade, and is now in the fourth grade.
Zhu Jingbei was in the fifth grade in his hometown, but the teaching quality was different there. Fuling was afraid that he couldn't keep up, so she enrolled him in the fourth grade.
Since Zhu Jingbei left, Zhu Jingxi and his brothers went from being uncomfortable at first to getting used to it in the end.
Whenever they have free time, they will stare into the distance in a daze.
Fuling did not forget the other members of the Zhu family, and would send some food back from time to time to honor the elderly.
Therefore, Zhu's family lived well during the famine, and no villager starved to death thanks to Fuling's help.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Fuling graduated from university.
She knew what would happen in the future, so she declined the school's offer and returned to her hometown.
Being a university teacher is a high-risk job, and she doesn't want to live in a cowshed.
College students are very popular these days and are guaranteed to be assigned a job after graduation.
She chose to return to her hometown.
It just so happened that the mayor there was investigated for corruption and his position became vacant.
She successfully ascended to the position of mayor.
Coincidentally, her fourth uncle Zhu Yuanzhi was promoted to political secretary last year.
Zhu Zhiyuan never thought that one day he would become a colleague of his niece.
At first he was worried that the new mayor would be difficult to get along with, but now he doesn't have to worry at all.
Fuling had no discomfort in working with her fourth uncle.
The other brothers of the Zhu family have also graduated one after another in recent years.
After graduating from high school, Zhu Jingdong chose to join the army and is now in the same place as Zhu Guoqiang.
Zhu Jingnan was admitted to a junior college and after graduation was assigned to work as an officer in the town's textile factory.
Zhu Jingxi failed to get into high school and is now helping out at home.
Under Fuling's pressure, Zhu Jingbei and Zhu Jingyou were admitted to the same university.
Fuling had already calculated the time, and the year they graduated would be the year when the college entrance examination was stopped.
Zhu Baozhu is now in primary school. She also knows the course of history. She thought about taking the college entrance examination in advance, but she was too young, so she had to give up and wait for the college entrance examination in 1977.
When Old Man Zhu and Old Man Zhu heard the news that their eldest granddaughter was coming back, they took out all the food from the bottom of the box at home.
The two of them did not expect that the second son, who was such a coward, would actually give birth to such a promising daughter.
"The third brother's family, go to the backyard and catch a chicken to kill."
"Mom, I'm going right away."
Other people in the village also heard the news and came to the door one by one with things in their hands.
Some carried eggs, some carried a chicken, and some carried homemade pickles.
"What are you doing?"
Old Mrs. Zhu looked at the group of old men and women blocking her door and said in confusion.
"We heard that Fuling is back, so we brought some gifts to thank her. We were saved during those years of famine thanks to her, otherwise we would..."
"How can I take your things? Take them back quickly."
Old Mrs. Zhu said she would not accept anything.
Seeing this, the others put their things in the yard and ran away. No matter how much Old Lady Zhu shouted, no one stopped.
Zhu Chunling looked at the things in the yard and looked at Old Mrs. Zhu for help.
"Mom, what should I do with these things?"
Before Mrs. Zhu could speak, Old Man Zhu walked out of the house.
"Since it's a kind gesture from the villagers, just accept it!"
Old lady Zhu nodded.
"Listen to your father and put it away."
Each family didn’t take much, but there were so many people.
Zhu Chunling took inventory and found that there were more than 137 eggs. There were six chickens, four of which were old hens laying eggs.
There was a lot of cabbage, about 54 pounds, and there were several small bags of rice, each weighing about one or two pounds, so all together there were 16 pounds.
There were also three pieces of bacon, which weighed about 13 pounds and 2 ounces.
There were also four or five fish, but they were pickled salted fish.
After putting all the things in place, Zhu Chunling reported the counted quantities to Old Lady Zhu.
Old Mrs. Zhu didn't expect there were so many things.
"Dad, what should we do now? We don't even know who gave these things to us, how are we going to pay them back?"
Zhu Laotou pondered for a while before speaking.
"Old woman, go get some money and ask the third child to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cakes and candies. Give some to each family so that everyone can have something sweet to eat."
