Chapter 615 Big Sister
Qin Zhengguo's father is an old employee of the railway system, and this area is mostly inhabited by railway system employees and their families.
There is a primary school under the railway bridge. This is Qin Zhengguo’s alma mater. He and his friends went to school here and played on the playground behind after school. These already blurred memories have become particularly clear at this moment.
The Railway Community is just across the wall from the school. This community was built in the 1950s and was one of the earliest workers' new villages. It looks very old, but the construction quality is excellent. The houses are very solid and the area is not small.
Qin Zhengguo has several brothers and sisters. He has an older brother and an older sister, a second sister and a third sister, Qin Zhengguo himself and his youngest brother.
My eldest brother is ten years older than Qin Zhengguo. When Qin Zhengguo was an educated youth, he was already working. My eldest sister was also the same at that time, she had just started working.
My second and third sisters also became educated youth at that time, but they did not go very far away like Qin Zhengguo. The place where they went to the countryside was in Liaodong, not far from their hometown.
My second sister married to a neighboring province several years ago, and my third sister also got married after returning. My youngest brother is the youngest in the family. He was still a child when Qin Zhengguo went to the countryside, so he stayed with his parents.
Walking down the hill beside the bridge, I soon arrived at my home.
Although it was called a residential area, it was not fenced off, and the small road next to the main road led directly to the houses. Qin Zhengguo turned into the small road, looked up at the location of his home, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Boss, is this the way?" asked the bodyguard beside him, looking at the corridor ahead.
"Yes, it's this one, the first room on the left on the third floor. Let's go!" Qin Zhengguo nodded and strode in. The bodyguards behind him followed with large and small bags.
The corridor was a little dim, and it was hard to see clearly after entering the door, but for Qin Zhengguo, it was nothing. He had walked this corridor countless times since he was a child, and he would not go wrong even with his eyes closed.
As soon as I reached the third floor, I ran into a middle-aged woman walking downstairs. Seeing a large group of people coming up from downstairs, the woman subconsciously moved to the side, and at the same time looked at Qin Zhengguo and his gang vigilantly.
Qin Zhengguo was slightly stunned when he looked up and shouted at the woman.
"Big sister! Where are you going?"
The woman was looking at Qin Zhengguo and his companions. Qin Zhengguo and his companions were all men, especially the bodyguards following behind him. They were all tall and strong, and their clothes were very elegant. They wore the same black suit, tie, and shiny leather shoes with three-section head.
Fortunately, these bodyguards were not wearing sunglasses. At that time, not many Hong Kong movies were circulated in the mainland, and Wu Xing had not yet filmed "A Better Tomorrow". Local people in the society had not yet started to dress like those in the movies. Otherwise, if ordinary people suddenly saw a group of people dressed like this, they would be scared.
As for Qin Zhengguo, he was dressed much more casually than the bodyguards. He was just wearing an ordinary jacket with a camel coat on the outside. But this coat was obviously a good thing. The fabric was definitely pure wool. It would cost at least hundreds of yuan in a department store. It was not something that ordinary people could afford.
"Big sister?"
The eldest sister was stunned and a puzzled expression appeared on her face. Because the corridor was dark, Qin Zhengguo came up from downstairs, and the eldest sister could not see Qin Zhengguo's face clearly standing in the light.
Qin Zhengguo smiled and climbed two steps to a better-lit place, then called out to the other party, "Sister."
"You...you are Xiaowuzi? Zhengguo?"
Looking at Qin Zhengguo, the eldest sister finally found something familiar on the face in front of her which was different from what she remembered, and suddenly shouted in surprise.
"It's me! Xiao Wuzi, Zhengguo!" Qin Zhengguo laughed loudly, walked forward and hugged his elder sister, extremely happy.
"It's really Xiao Wuzi? Oh my God, did you eat baking powder? How come you've become so fat? If you saw me on the street, I wouldn't recognize you." The eldest sister was surprised and happy. She looked Qin Zhengguo up and down. She couldn't believe it at first, but soon she was sure that the person standing in front of her was her younger brother Qin Zhengguo.
It is normal not to recognize . In the eldest sister's memory, Qin Zhengguo has always been a tall and thin young man, but now Qin Zhengguo has gained a lot of weight. He looks a lot bigger than before, with a rounder face and a protruding belly. Coupled with the way he is dressed, it would be strange for her to recognize him.
When the sister and brother met, both were extremely happy. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qin Zhengguo asked the elder sister why she had gone downstairs just now.
The elder sister smiled and asked, "What else can I do?" She was just about to go downstairs to get soy sauce. As she spoke, she raised a soy sauce bottle in her hand. Looking at this familiar soy sauce bottle, which was stained with colors inside and outside and could hardly see its original color, Qin Zhengguo was also happy. He had taken this soy sauce bottle to get soy sauce many times in the past, so he was very familiar with it.
"Let's go, let's go home..."
"The soy sauce hasn't been added yet..."
"I'll get the soy sauce!" Qin Zhengguo took the bottle of soy sauce from the eldest sister and handed it to a bodyguard behind him: "Turn right out of the door downstairs and go straight ahead. There is a grocery store 30 meters away. Go and get a bottle of soy sauce ."
"I understand, boss!" The bodyguard took the soy sauce bottle, responded, turned around and went downstairs directly.
"Xiao Wuzi, these guys?" The eldest sister was watching curiously and couldn't help but look at the bodyguards.
"Oh, these are comrades from the security department of my company. They came back with me this time to do some things." Qin Zhengguo did not explain much and said it in the simplest way.
"Oh, so you are from the Security Department. Thank you for sending my brother back. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble along the way."
"No, no, you're too polite..." Several bodyguards didn't know how to answer, but one of them was smart enough to say it vaguely.
"Okay, big sister, stop asking questions and go home first." Qin Zhengguo said at the side, and asked curiously: "By the way, why are you here?"
"How can I not be here? I live not far from here, and I come back often on weekdays. But you, kid! You have been out and about for the past few years, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"
The elder sister got angry as she spoke. After Qin Zhengguo returned to the city as an educated youth, he stayed in his hometown for half a year, and then ran away to Shanghai. Later, I heard that he went from Shanghai to Guangzhou, and then ran away to Hong Kong...
How long has this kid been away from home these past few years? As a sister, it's okay, but what about their parents?
Qin Zhengguo smiled embarrassedly. Among his brothers and sisters, he had the best relationship with his eldest sister.
The eldest sister is eight years older than Qin Zhengguo and is almost forty this year. She got married early and gave birth to two sons. The eldest son is already in junior high school and the youngest son is about to graduate from elementary school. The eldest sister's husband is an apprentice of Qin Zhengguo's father and works in the railway system. His position is not high, just a team leader. The eldest sister works in a factory under the railway system and mainly does administrative and logistical work.
The eldest sister and her brother-in-law have a very good relationship, and Qin Zhengguo also likes his two nephews very much.
When the educated youth returned to the city, the two nephews were still young, probably about the same age as Zhang Hao, and were at their most mischievous.
At that time, Qin Zhengguo was unemployed and had nothing to do at home. He often took the two boys out to play, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew was very good.
Holding his arm around the elder sister's shoulders, Qin Zhengguo apologized with a smile. The elder sister had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. After scolding him a few times , she let it go, sighed, and spoke softly to Qin Zhengguo.
"I know you've been mad at your parents. They were upset about money. To be honest, those people are not good people. I would beat them out with a broom if I had the temper. But you also know what kind of people your parents are. They are soft-hearted and can't stand people complaining. Once they start to do this, they can't be stopped..."
At this point, the eldest sister shook her head and said, "My eldest brother and the third and fourth brothers are not here on weekdays, let alone me. You know what kind of person Little Six is like better than me. How can you stop my parents if you can't make them fart? So let's not mention this matter anymore. Let the past be the past. Just think of it as a lesson learned. Don't think that my parents are tough on them, they are actually regretting it now."
"I know, don't worry. If I still have some doubts in my heart, I won't come back this time. By the way, big sister, I have an idea, can you give me some advice?"
"What do you think?"
Qin Zhengguo immediately leaned close to his elder sister and whispered something in her ear. After listening, the elder sister thought about it, nodded and said, "This arrangement is fine, but you can't mention this matter directly. If you mention it directly, your parents might think the wrong thing. You know their tempers. If you say it so directly, they might think you are still thinking about the previous matter."
"So, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
"About a week, mainly because Xiao Liuzi's affairs have to be settled before I can leave. Originally, my wife and children were going to come, but before I left, my wife got pregnant again and my daughter is still young, so they didn't come. After Xiao Liuzi's affairs are settled, I have to rush back immediately."
"Pregnant again? Good news! This is good news!" The eldest sister smiled and patted her thigh and said happily: "My daughter, you are pregnant. This time you give birth to a big fat boy. It is good to have a son and a daughter! Good! It's really good! It's just that I didn't get to see your wife this time..."
"Isn't it easy to meet? Big sister, why don't you ask for a leave from work? Bring your brother-in-law and two nephews to live with me in the south for a few days? Don't worry about the travel expenses, I'll cover it all!"
"You're just talking nonsense, you're so arrogant!" The eldest sister rolled her eyes at Qin Zhengguo and said, "How much does it cost to bring a large family back and forth? It's not easy for you to make money, and now you have a wife. There will be many places to spend money in the future. Be frugal and don't spend it recklessly."
"Hehe, don't worry, this little money won't make me poor. Seriously, big sister, let's go for a walk together when we have time, along with big brother, second sister, third sister, and so on. Oh, right, won't Xiao Liuzi have to go traveling after getting married? Why don't you bring mom and dad with you? There are many places in the south with nice scenery and lots of delicious food. Don't you want to go and see them?"
Hearing what Qin Zhengguo said, the eldest sister couldn't help but be moved. In all these years, except for the trip to the neighboring province for the third brother's wedding, she hadn't been to any other place.
As for the two children at home, it goes without saying that they have lived in Andong since they were young and have never even left the city. It's okay for me and my husband, but when the children grow up, they have to go out and broaden their horizons. Besides, my younger brother Xiaowu seems to be doing well now. He is not an outsider, my own brother and the child's uncle. What is there to be embarrassed about?
