After everyone had left, Fang Zhiyi spoke to the person in front of him:

"Auntie, I just went in to buy something and heard what you said. You must be in a very difficult situation, unable to give up your work, and on the other hand, you have to care about your eldest son and his family."

When Du Juan heard her say this, she thought she was someone who wanted to buy her job. She looked at her and found that she did look like a recent graduate.

Moreover, with her appearance, it was indeed unsafe for her to go to the countryside. It was also obvious that she could not endure hardship, so she must want to find a job, so he treated her as someone who wanted to buy his job.

"That girl, I'm not selling my job, and my family is counting on me to make money, so if you want to buy a job, you've got the wrong person."

When Fang Zhiyi heard her say this, he quickly shook his head and said:

"Aunt, you misunderstood. You can just call me Xiaoyi. This is my younger brother. And you misunderstood me. I'm not trying to buy your job. I actually have a job myself."

"Can you please listen to me slowly? This matter is a bit complicated."

Du Juan heard her say this and couldn't bear to refuse her, so she said:

"Okay, go ahead and tell me what you want to do, but there's just one thing: I won't sell this job."

Fang Zhiyi nodded, and then began to express his thoughts:

"Aunt, do you know that a fire broke out in the textile factory and killed two people? To be honest, they were my parents. Now that they're gone, there are only two of us left."

"The factory gave us two jobs as compensation. My mom can go there to work right away, and my brother can go there when he grows up."

"But I don't want to work in that sad place. Whenever I go in there, I think of my parents. My parents used to take me there to play."

"They both worked there their whole lives, and ended up losing their lives there. That's my sad place, so I don't want to work there anymore. I'm thinking of finding someone to work with me."

"I happened to hear you say that when I came here to buy something today, and it just made me realize that I haven't even signed up for this job yet, and because of what happened to my parents, the factory owes us both a lot."

"So I can go to the factory and tell them to give you this job. You can wait a few years before going back to work. I don't know how old your youngest son is, but I can give this job to you or him."

"You all know the treatment in the textile factory. At least you get more food. For someone like you, you can wait until your children are older before going back to work. You won't lose anything."

"I know you're not selling your job. After all, it's hard to find a job, and as for the money, once you have a job, you're not afraid of not being able to earn it back. So, let's switch. It's okay for you to go work in a few years, as long as you promise me, and I'll talk to the factory."

Du Juan was probably stunned by her words, so she shook her head and said:

"Xiao Yi, let me ask you, this is why you want to switch with me, but your job pays more food, so you're at a disadvantage."

Dujuan had also heard about that incident. The two people saved the factory's property and were considered heroes. They definitely could not bully the children of heroes.

So she didn't want to take advantage. Although everything looked the same and the salary would be about the same wherever she went, the food distributed every month would be different.

"Aunt, there are only two of us in our family, so we can't eat much food. Besides, you guys work at the supply and marketing cooperative, so we'll be the first to know if there's anything good coming. I can grab some when the time comes."

"I can also buy those defective items that don't require a ticket. If I worked somewhere else, I wouldn't have the time. And my brother is so young, I can't let him snatch them away."

"So there's no such thing as a win-lose situation. I'm happy to change this job."

Fang Zhiyi really felt this way. He did not suffer any loss. Although he received less food, he also had to work less and was able to get some internal things.

If you think about it, I haven't really suffered any loss. On the contrary, it seems like I've gained some advantage.

This was the first time Du Juan encountered such a thing, and it had to be said that this was a good thing for her.

It's better than selling your job. With a job, even if you can't go to work in the future, you can still give it to your sons and daughters, so you won't suffer any loss.

His child will graduate in a few years, and the job in the supply and marketing cooperative was originally reserved for his daughter. He would not watch his child go to the countryside.

Now that she has this job, she can give it to them when the time comes. The main thing is that she really can't stand her eldest son. How can she bear to see such a grown-up crying all day long?

It was really one wrong step that led to all the wrong steps. He didn't act tough when he married his wife. Now he can't be tough even if he wants to. His eldest son has also been controlled by that woman.

No matter what, he is still the child of their Zhou family. They can't bear to see him suffer, so in the end they can only compromise.

But she was reluctant to sell her job because once she sold it, she couldn't buy it back. We are not stupid. No one would sell their job unless there were special circumstances.

"Is this okay? Wait for me to come home and discuss it. If I really agree, I'll come back and tell you."

Fang Zhiyi also knew that such an important matter must be discussed with everyone, so he nodded happily and said:

"Auntie, I also promise you that if I don't want this job anymore, I promise to sell it to your family first. If you don't want it, I won't give it to anyone else."

"Aunt, if you have made up your mind, you can come to the textile factory's staff quarters to find me. You can ask around and find out where we live."

"If you agree, I'll take you to meet the people at the factory and tell them about this matter. Then you don't have to worry."

Du Juan nodded when she heard her say this. She was a little uncertain at first, but then she heard that if she quit this job, she could sell it to their family first.

She was a little tempted. She had two children, and if she had found a job for one, she still had another. If it was true, it would be a hope.

......

After the two of them finished talking, they parted ways. Fang Zhiyi carried a basket and walked home with his brother. Fang Zhiyi thought that he would only be able to do this job for two or three years.

But he knew what his face looked like. When he got older, many people would be watching him, and he would have no one to support him at home, so he would be easily bullied.

So when she grew up, she prepared to pack up and go live with her uncle. In the book, her uncle had never been married, so it should be okay for her to go there.

That's why she said it so frankly just now. Her brother is still too young, and if someone wants to bully them, they have no way to handle it themselves.

So she had made plans early on. When the time came, she would run away with her brother and live with her uncle so that no one would bully her.
