Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 103 Hob Meat

"Brother, can you tell me what the situation is?"

Dai Song was very anxious and wanted to find out the reason.

Problems must be solved. Is it going to be like this forever and my wife will never go to town?

"Dad? Don't worry, this happened three years ago. I just want to live a good life with Xiaowan now. I don't have any other thoughts at all! And I won't go to my second sister to make trouble!"

"Yeah." Nan Guofu nodded, "Actually, this matter, to be honest, is our problem.

Qiumei and Xiaowan have been at odds since they were young, and we all saw this problem, so when we were looking for jobs for them, we shouldn’t have arranged for them to work together just to save trouble.”

"What kind of job?" Dai Song blinked his eyes, totally confused.

"Qiumei hadn't found a job at the time, and Xiaowan had just graduated from school." Nan Guofu lit a cigarette and leaned back on the kang cabinet. "I thought about finding a good career path for the girl, so I asked someone to find two jobs in the town. One is a projectionist at a movie theater, and the other is an announcer."

"Good job!" Dai Song praised easily.

"Yes, both are good jobs." Nan Xia Ze shook his head, "But the problem lies here. If these two jobs were the same, or if they were put aside for a year or two, Qiu Mei and Xiao Wan would not have gotten into such a fight."

"What do you mean, brother-in-law?" Dai Song vaguely guessed it.

“No matter how good the things are, if they are put together, they can stand out as long as they are different.

Qiumei and Xiaowan have been at odds since childhood, so when the two jobs were given to them, she naturally wanted the announcer job.

My goodness, Qiumei was so stubborn that she got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the dogs. She practiced outside every day with a collection of poems. In order to keep her breathing steady, she also went out for a run every day.

I persisted like this for almost a month, and when I went to town, they chose Xiaowan after just one look."

Dai Song pursed his lips and almost burst out laughing, but he still asked in a very "cultured" manner:

"Why?"

"Then he was not just a radio announcer. The channel was planned to be a TV program. It had just been established, so they tried it out by broadcasting. Now, this channel has become a TV program."

Nan Guofu turned the knob of the TV and quickly found a recording of a local channel.

Although the female host of the show also has a dignified and graceful appearance, compared with Nan Chunwan, she is like an old hen seeing a crane.

Dai Song understood.

Although he had only met Nan Qiumei once and could no longer remember what she looked like, he knew as soon as he saw the show that Nan Qiumei's image would definitely not be as good as that of the host and would not meet the TV station's image standards, so she would naturally not be chosen.

Furthermore, my father-in-law and my eldest brother-in-law also said that Nan Qiumei had been at odds with her wife since she was a child, and she especially wanted to take down the announcer.

He basically knew the reason behind this.

Dai Song remained calm, and Nan Guofu continued:
"Qiumei has always felt that her mother and I favored Xiaowan since she was a child. After this incident, she felt even more so.

After that interview, Qiumei and Xiaowan became even more at odds with each other. Even though your mother treated her equally in every way, she still felt that no one loved her.

Moreover, Xiaowan is gentle, sensible and well-behaved, and has never been angry with her. Even if she has resentment at home, she cannot express it.

Then it just so happened that you, Songzi, came to propose marriage."

"Because I was really bad at the time and she was not in a good mood, so she used this as an excuse to run to the town?"

"Yes!" Nan Xia Ze nodded hurriedly, "Brother-in-law, Qiumei just has a stubborn temper. She didn't mean to annoy you and not marry you. Being with Daqiang is something that will happen after you and Xiaowan get married."

"Yeah. I understand." Dai Song nodded. He couldn't say how much hatred he had for Nan Qiumei in his heart, only complete disgust.

Seeing that he was quite calm, the Nan family father and son continued:
"Matsuko, you probably know almost everything that happened afterwards. Qiumei went to town, and Xiaowan married him. The only thing that needs to be explained is Xiaowan's job as a broadcaster.

Songzi, you may not like to hear this, but I would never have said it in the past.

But now I see that you have matured. I observed you for a long time during the meal. I saw you and Xiaowan exchanged glances, and there must be nothing to say about your feelings. So after you hear that, you must not blame Xiaowan. Xiaowan is a good girl and knows the big picture."

Dai Song's eyes lit up and he straightened his back. "Well, Dad, you said, since Xiaowan has followed me, I will treat her well no matter what!"

"Hmm~" Nan Guofu put out his cigarette.
"Xiao Wan ran to the town on her own, gave up her job as a broadcaster, and recommended Qiu Mei.

Later, after the radio program started broadcasting, Qiumei did go to broadcast, but for some reason, Qiumei was unwilling to come back and went to work in a movie theater.

Xiaowan took the initiative to tell me that she had never thought of competing with her sister for a job, and now she wants to marry you."

Although Dai Song guessed it halfway through hearing it, he still felt mixed emotions when he heard his father-in-law talk about what happened back then.

In his previous life, Nan Qiumei refused to marry him, so Nan Chunwan married him in her place of her sister. He was so confused that he took out all his unhappiness on Nan Chunwan.

It was not until she became seriously ill that he came to his senses and began to learn how to live and take care of her.

That is, during the last period of time after he and Nan Chunwan returned home, his wife said many intimate words to him.

Among them is "I really wanted to marry you in the beginning, I'm not kidding you~"

Now hearing what his father-in-law said, Dai Song suddenly had the illusion that nothing about rebirth had happened and that everything was just a dream.

He covered his eyes, his mind full of images from his previous life. After a long pause, he suddenly realized something:
In his previous life, his wife didn't say those words out of kindness to coax him, nor did she mean to blame him! The tone of voice can be changed, but after all, they have lived together for nearly twenty years, and her eyes can't deceive him!
Nan Xia Ze became nervous when he saw Dai Song crying and laughing.

He nudged Nan Guofu with his elbow, breathing heavily without making any sound:
Dad, has my brother-in-law been overwhelmed? I hope he won’t do anything wrong next time?
Nan Guofu shook his head: No!

Your brother-in-law was probably just angry about Qiumei breaking off the engagement, but our best Xiaowan ended up marrying him. He knows the whole story now, and he must have felt that Xiaowan was better than Qiumei, so he couldn't hold back his laughter!
Oh shit! That’s right! Dad, you’re so tall!

By the time the Nan father and son sent out signals, Dai Song had already adjusted his mood.

The memories of his past life have made him certain that Nan Chunwan did not marry him simply to save face for the Nan family or to ease relations with Nan Qiumei.

Although the reason is unknown, this life has just begun. He is determined to treat his wife well. He believes that one day in the future, he will be able to find out the reason.

The fact that his father-in-law and his brother-in-law said these things to him showed that they truly recognized him.

He had to find a way to repay this favor.

I still need to ask about the details of my father-in-law's matter to find out what the specific difficulties are. I will call around and ask around later.

As for my eldest brother-in-law, he had always been a contractor. His downfall in his previous life was probably related to his business...

After some thought, Dai Song's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother-in-law, Dad."

"Ah? Yeah! What's wrong, brother-in-law/Matsuko?"

"Thank you, Dad, and thank you, brother-in-law, for telling me this without holding a grudge!"

"Hey, we're all family, why are you being so formal? You've matured, and we can all see it."

"That's right, in the spring I'll get some help to build a house for my brother-in-law! I'll make sure you're satisfied!"

"Would it be too much trouble for my brother-in-law to specially arrange for someone?" Seeing that Nan Xia Ze had fallen into the trap, Dai Song pretended to be pretentious.

"What's the big deal? It's normal to dispatch people according to the project! Many people from other places have already agreed with me to join my team after the Chinese New Year. There are at least a dozen of them. Let them replace a team of experienced workers and help you and your sister build the house. It's a done deal!"

From out of town?!

Dai Song's thoughts raced, and he asked, "Why are people from other places working here?"

"Hey! They used to work in the mines, but they all said that mining is too dangerous and the earnings are so-so. They are afraid that they will earn money but not live to spend it. Even so, several people have been injured, so they just quit.

I just happened to hear that my engineering team is going to expand next year, so I came here to find them.”

"Ah? That's not the right major." Dai Song frowned. "Also, brother-in-law, what injuries did they suffer? Will they be fully recovered after the New Year?"

“It doesn’t matter if they don’t know anything. At the beginning, they are just laborers, led by experienced workers, doing hard work, and their wages are only half of what experienced workers get.

The injury is not so bad. It is said that a toe was crushed in the mine. Now it is the beginning of spring, about a hundred days, enough time for them to recover. "

Nan Xiaze said it lightly, but Dai Song looked serious, which made Nan Guofu nervous as well, and asked hurriedly,

"What happened to Pine Nut? Did you get sick? The Mouth is on the right behind the house."

"no!"

Dai Song shook his head, stroked his newly grown bangs and tried hard to recall.

In his previous life, he went to work in the south and met a type of person.

This guy specifically looks for coal mines and construction sites where he has no background, and after working there for a while, he starts to hurt himself.

Either they break their fingers and toes, or they cripple their limbs, and then they ask their boss for compensation.

If a finger is broken, the price in the industry is clearly stated to be 150,000.

Of course, it was already after the millennium, but there were all kinds of people in society from the beginning to the end. After nearly 20 years, it was just the right time for a new batch of people to come out and "follow their father's business."

At this moment, the compensation would be at least several thousand or tens of thousands. Not to mention the contractor, even the mine owner cannot afford to be cut like this!

"Brother, how many of those people are injured? If more than half of the group are injured, don't use them."

"Not young or old, there are 15 people in total, 9 of them were brought here with bandages. What's wrong, Songzi? It's really dangerous in the mines, and they don't want to get hurt. When they are well, I think they can be used as long as it doesn't interfere with the work. It's not easy these days. I see that they are all old and have children to take care of."

Dai Song shook his head. His brother-in-law was too kind. He didn't know that kind people are often bullied.

He immediately told his guess to his eldest brother-in-law and father-in-law, and both of them immediately fell in expression.

"Hey! You can't hurt others like this, right?" Nan Xiaze used his hand as a knife and chopped off his fingers, "You really can do this to yourself!"

"This is such a jerk!" Nan Guofu was so shocked that he lit a cigarette to calm himself down.

"Brother-in-law, I can't guarantee that they are such people. However, it's still a long way to the New Year. They should just be your next employer. They can probably get two more mines before the New Year. Watch them carefully after the spring to see what kind of condition they are in. Whether they are the kind of tough guys I mentioned, you will know once you see their mutilated bodies!"

Nan Xiaze blinked his eyes. He didn't believe that there were such people in the world, but Dai Song's words made sense. He exhaled and nodded heavily.
"Okay! I'll be more careful then!"
