Gu Yundong came back and sighed, “Arhh.. I don’t know when Eldest Brother will be back. The two children who stay at home and will not see him for several years.”

Zhou Ping paused and frowned.

To be honest, she did not want his eldest brother’s family to become like this. Any relatives in the family who had a hard time would not be good for the rest of the family after all.

His eldest brother’s family was originally the best in the family. With his support, they could still get some benefits. Now, they went to the northeast side and needed family subsidies. This was not good for them.

Seeing that his wife did not speak, Gu Yundong did not care. He was just trying to express his feelings.

“Let’s keep the two children at home too! There will be more children in the family, and they can accompany each other. Dad can teach them as well. We can always send more food and money back.”historical

In Gu Yundong’s view, this was something he was taking advantage of. Two children were not easy to raise. He needed to take care of their food and clothes and everything else. There would be four children in total if his children stayed here too.

His parents definitely did not have so much time and energy. Gu Yunshen and Gu Yunshuang must take the responsibility. They usually worked outside, so naturally, they had to send more food and supplies back.

But Zhou Ping was not willing to do that.

“Your eldest brother had no choice but to leave the two children here. I don’t think it’s necessary for our two children.”

Gu Yundong was stunned.

Zhou Ping said, “They are still young, so it is good to follow the parents. As for the two children from the eldest brother’s family, if it wasn’t because of an accident at home—they have always been staying with them all these years, right?

“No matter how good the family is, it is the countryside, after all. People here will only think that the Gu children are the bad descendants of the landlord family and will bully them. When did our two children suffer such hardship?”

Gu Yundong frowned deeper. Zhou Ping’s words were true.

For Gu family’s children, life was really not easy.

Zhou Ping saw the opportunity to convince him. She continued, “Now, people are all running to the city; none of them will go to the countryside. We have suffered so much in our childhood, and now I just want the children to have a better life. The countryside is not as good as the city. In the city, everything is adequate and it’s relatively easy to buy something if you have money and tickets. What’s there in the countryside?”

Gu Yundong thought for a while, “But, we can send some money and coupons!”

Who knew those things end up spending on which person?

Zhou Ping said, “Can it be sent back in time? The rural area is not rich enough to be comparable to the provincial capital. Even if you have money and coupons, you may not be able to buy some things, right?”

Gu Yundong stopped talking. Obviously, there were not as many things in the countryside as there were in the provinces. This was inevitable.

But thinking about what his parents said just now, there were work points in the countryside, and then the food would be distributed. It was better for the children to not need to worry about food and clothing.

Gu Yundong moved his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He knew that his parents still had something hidden in their hands. The food and meat available in the family must be obtained by taking those old objects to the black market. If the children stayed at home, they could eat them. These were not always available in the city.

But he was slightly reluctant to let go of his children since they were still young.

Zhou Ping said, “The children are too young, so let’s take care of them! Only Fourth Brother stays in the family, and Little Sister has not recovered. How can they take care of so many children? Let’s talk about it when the children are older. At least, our family is still together.”
