Chapter 8 The long-lost family

Seeing that the eldest son was back, she couldn't help but complain while looking at him: "Why don't you say something in advance when you come back? Mom can prepare food for you? Where can I buy vegetables for this evening?"

"Mom, don't worry, I've eaten on the way and I'm full." Zhao Guoyang said with a smile.

"Well, it's good to eat it. By the way, how is the situation in the factory? Are you still adapting to the work?" As he spoke, Zhao Jingzhong had already sat down and asked about Zhao Guoyang's work situation.

Zhao Guoyang looked at the wall clock and it was almost nine o'clock. He couldn't help but cough and said, "Dad, mom, I've been taking the car for a day and I'm a little tired. I won't talk to you now. Anyway, I'm still at home tomorrow. I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something to do."

Zhao Jingzhong has always been very caring for his most powerful son. After hearing his words, he nodded repeatedly, "It's true, then you can rest early and let your mother get you something delicious tomorrow."

He Huifen said "um" and looked at her son with a smile and said, "Guoyang, come back this time and have a good rest. By the way, I will also ask your sister and brother's study."

"Your sister is better. The results of this mock exam are quite reasonable. Your brother... Why isn't you as sensible as you!"

"Oh, Mom, don't worry about these things. Brother is so busy with work, it's rare to come back once, so let him have a good rest. I'll do Xiaoyong's study!" Zhao Xiaojing volunteered.

While the few people were talking, a 14 or 15-year-old man rubbed his eyes and walked out of the east room.

As soon as he saw Zhao Guoyang, the old man's eyes suddenly shone and said in surprise: "Brother, why are you back? That's great. I made an appointment with Ergouzi to fish tomorrow. I'm worried about how to repair the broken fishing rod!"

This slightly thin half-year-old boy is naturally Zhao Guoyang's younger brother Zhao Xiaoyong.

This kid is fourteen years old this year and has just entered the second year of junior high school. It was the most naughty time.

"You can play and play all day long! Your brother finally came back and was not allowed to go tomorrow!" He Huifen stretched out his hand and poked Zhao Xiaoyong's head, and said angrily.

"Mom, isn't I just trying to improve the food at home..." Zhao Xiaoyong said unconvincedly.

"Why, are you still right? I've been fishing for a month, but I haven't seen you catch a fish, but I've caught a lot of millet at home. Tell me, when will you be more sensible?" He Huifen glared at him and said.

After hearing his wife's words, Zhao Jingzhong frowned and said, "Okay, Huifen, Xiaoyong is not making a fuss, so let's not talk about him. Children have their own way out, and not everyone must take the college entrance exam like Guoyang."

"I didn't expect him to be as good as his brother, but... at least I have to study high school for me, right?" He Huifen said helplessly.

"Oh, don't worry, mom, isn't it just high school? I promise I can get into the exam, right? If I really can't get into the high school, wouldn't it be a loss of my brother's face?" Zhao Xiaoyong said disapprovingly.

"Hmph, I also lost my face to your sister!" Zhao Xiaojing said on the side.

"I understand, sister." Zhao Xiaoyong seemed a little afraid of his sister, so he hung his head and stopped talking when he heard this.

Listening to the family, Zhao Guoyang felt a warm feeling in his heart. It can be seen that the family relationship is very harmonious and warm.

Unlike usual people, in my own family, my father is a kind father, but my mother is a strict mother.

But from the overall perspective, it is obvious that the father should be more far-sighted and let the children play freely. I think this is also an important reason why Zhao Guoyang enrolled in college.

"Okay, okay, go to bed early!" As my father waved his hand, Zhao Guoyang drank a big cup on the table and then took Zhao Xiaoyong back to his room to rest.

The east wing is quite spacious, with two beds inside, a shabby desk, a wooden chair, and an old double door cabinet, and nothing else.

Zhao Guoyang picked up some of Zhao Xiaoyong's homework on the desk and looked at it, then nodded secretly.

Judging from the errors in it, Zhao Xiaoyong's foundation is still OK. Some of the wrong questions are caused by carelessness. In this case, it is easier to improve your grades.

Although the former master of his body has good grades, he is not very good at teaching others, so his younger brothers and sisters have not gained much attention from him as a college student.

But Zhao Guoyang is different now. His basic knowledge reserves are more than many special teachers, and he has his own advanced teaching methods.

Zhao Guoyang felt that under such circumstances, it would be strange if his younger brother and sister failed to get into college.

After chatting with his younger brother and sister for a while, Zhao Guoyang urged them to go to bed quickly. Both of these little guys are still growing, and it is not good to sleep too late.

...

The next morning, Zhao Guoyang got up before 7 o'clock. When he went to the yard to brush his teeth and wash his face, he found that his father was already feeding chickens there.

"Guoyang, why did you get up so early? Why don't you sleep for a while when you rest today?" Zhao Jingzhong asked in a little surprise.

"Dad, it's okay. I've developed a habit when I was in school!" Zhao Guoyang replied with a smile.

"Old Zhao, the cakes are ready, you can take them to work quickly. Leave these things in the yard to me." He Huifen hurriedly came out of the kitchen beside the yard and wrapped two fried breads in paper.

"Okay, I'll go to work first. Guoyang, you can rest well at home!" Zhao Jingzhong didn't know anything, took the cake and put it in his pocket, greeted Zhao Guoyang and left the door.

"Dad, please slow down!"

In Zhao Guoyang's memory, he was not deeply impressed by some details of his family, but he still knew the basic situation.

His father Zhao Jingzhong works in a food factory in Jianghai County. He is an ordinary worker. Because the food factory has good performance and is a formal worker, his monthly income is stable at around 120 yuan.

In comparison, her mother is much inferior. She works in a textile factory in the county and can only be regarded as a temporary worker. She is the type that can be dismissed at any time, and her monthly income is only 80 yuan.

In this era, families with income situations like Zhao Guoyang's family were relatively common. Basically, everyone's life was tight, especially when the family had to support three children to go to school.

Fortunately, his mother is very good at living. Not only can she be careful in her budget, but she also raises a few old hens, which not only solves the nutritional problems of the family, but also can exchange oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other things with the convenience store at the door from time to time. It can be said that she kills two birds with one stone.

Seeing Zhao Jingzhong riding a shabby bicycle out, He Huifen chatted with Zhao Guoyang for a few words. After feeding the chickens, he went back to the kitchen to make breakfast for him.

Looking at his mother's back that had already begun to bend slightly, Zhao Guoyang felt very uncomfortable.

Before coming to this world, although he was respected everywhere, he had never felt the warmth of family affection.
