Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded when he heard this. "Third brother, if I need you any help in the future, I will definitely not be polite."

Yan Laosan is a pretty good person. Although we have only been together for less than a month, I can see that he is a real person.

The two men didn't say anything. There was no need for too many words between men.

After leaving the lounge, Xu Xiangyang ran into Zhang Xiao who had not been seen for the day.

He smiled awkwardly, then said, "Comrade Xu, come with me to the accounting department to settle the wages."

Although the words were not made clear, Xu Xiangyang already knew it and did not ask any more questions.

It would be embarrassing to ask, after all, he was just a temporary worker, and it was already good enough that others were polite to him.

After so many years in society, Xu Xiangyang understands what to say and what not to say.

Asking some questions will only cause you more trouble, so it’s better to just settle your salary honestly.

Zhang Xiao felt relieved when he saw that he didn't ask anything.

I'm afraid Xu Xiangyang will keep asking questions, and neither of them will be in a good mood.

When he arrived at the accounting department, Xu Xiangyang saw three female comrades sitting in the room. One of them was sitting next to the desk. She was a middle-aged woman in her forties.

The other two were the two lesbians he had met in the morning, who were sitting there bored.

Judging from their faces, both of them look somewhat similar to the middle-aged woman, and it seems that they are from the same family.

When the two young lesbians saw them, a strange look flashed in their eyes.

I think he recognized me, but he didn't know me, so he didn't say anything.

The girl with narrow almond-shaped eyes kept moving her eyes around, and it seemed that she was a very active person.

Xu Xiangyang walked in and took a look, but didn't look at anything else.

He's a gay man, so he can't just stare at lesbians, right? Especially in this conservative era, he should be cautious.

It’s not like you haven’t seen beautiful women before?

"Accountant Liu, please help me settle Xu Xiangyang's salary as a temporary worker." Zhang Xiao walked over with a smile and explained his purpose.

The middle-aged woman called Accountant Liu nodded. Someone had informed her early in the morning. She opened the drawer and took out the receipt and money that she had prepared long ago.

"I worked for a total of twenty-one days. The monthly salary for temporary workers is 18.5 yuan. This is 13 yuan. My boss said to round it up." She said as she put the money on the table.

When Xu Xiangyang heard this, he realized that he had given a few cents more, which was not a small amount.

Although temporary workers are also workers, whether they are paid less or more depends on their attitude.

"Sorry to trouble Accountant Liu." Zhang Xiao took the money and handed it to Xu Xiangyang.

"Let's go, brother."

The two men walked out of the accounting office and headed towards the outer door.

When accountant Liu Honglan in the room heard that someone had left, she stopped smiling and stared coldly at the two people next to her.

"Shen Yijun, Shen Fangjun! You two are not allowed to make trouble again. You even caused trouble at work. Do you want me to lose my job?" She spoke in a bad tone and seemed really angry.

Hearing this, the two children fell silent. The girl in the Lenin suit pouted and said, "Mom, isn't it Fangjun who is causing trouble? I just came here to talk to my uncle."

When Liu Honglan saw her, the expression on her face unconsciously relaxed.

But he definitely didn't let out any anger, and the next thing he looked at the silent girl with almond-shaped eyes, Shen Fangjun.

Seeing this look, Shen Fangjun sneered inwardly, but she didn't show it on her face. With an aggrieved expression, she said, "Mom, that Lenin suit was given to me by my uncle Lingjie. What's the matter with her snatching it away? I also gave her my university place. Now I'm going to work in the supply and marketing cooperative as you arranged. Can't I keep a new set of clothes?"

It has been like this since she was a child, but now she no longer has the same dissatisfaction as before.

Maybe she had long been accustomed to her mother favoring her elder sister and never thought about her, the little girl.

So her current mood can be said to be calm.

When Liu Honglan heard her say this, she admitted in her heart that she was not very nice to her little girl.

But she usually treats everyone equally in public, and she knows what happened this time, and no matter how she says it, it's not right.

After thinking about it, she glanced at Shen Yajun who looked stubborn, and knew that her eldest daughter was unwilling to give up.

"Fangjun, your sister is already wearing this dress. How about I give you some cloth coupons and money so you can buy another set of cloth to make clothes?" This was the only solution she could think of.

If Shen Yajun were to give up her clothes, I'm afraid she would turn the whole house upside down.

So Liu Honglan wanted to keep the peace, but she also wanted to comfort her little girl.

If it wasn't for Lingzi from my eldest brother's family giving me the clothes, so many things wouldn't have happened. Why didn't you give them to Yijun, but to Fangjun?

When Shen Fangjun heard her say this, although she was very unhappy, she also knew that this was the best outcome.

It’s a pity about that Lenin suit. Although it is old, there is not a single tear or patch on it.

She put on a reluctant expression and said, "Okay, Mom, but you have to give me five feet of cloth coupons."

Giving cloth coupons was Liu Honglan's bottom line, and asking for five feet was also Shen Fangjun's bottom line.

When Liu Honglan heard about the five-foot cloth coupons, she couldn't help but frown. "What do you need so many cloth coupons for? Three feet isn't enough to make you a shirt?"

That being said, a Lenin suit is still a set. She can't just wear a top without pants, right?

Seeing Shen Fangjun remained silent and with a look of persistence, Liu Honglan sighed, "This is what you deserve!"

This means agreement.

Shen Fangjun stopped talking, and the few of them started waiting to go back together after get off work.

It gets dark at around 3 a.m. in the middle of winter, and it's too dangerous to walk alone.

Outside, Xu Xiangyang walked to the gate. Zhang Xiao, who was standing by, thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Xu, since you can drive, it should be easy for you to find a job. Why are you doing this temporary job?"

In fact, he had wanted to ask before, but never found the opportunity.

Now that he is about to leave, I should ask what needs to be asked.

Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "I want to, too, but without a driver, no one would believe me even if I said I could drive."

There was another thing he didn't say. I don't know whether a driver's license is required in this day and age.

At this time, there are a hundred people eyeing each position, especially drivers. How can you get into such a popular industry so easily?

Zhang Xiao nodded, knowing that work was not easy to arrange.

Xu Xiangyang smiled and waved goodbye to him, then disappeared into the night.

He came to the small courtyard where he lived yesterday, looked around and saw that there was no one around, then slipped into the space.

Xu Xiangyang lay on the bed, staring at the thirteen yuan in his hand in a daze.

The blisters on his hands had long been covered with fine calluses. In addition to the thirteen yuan, he also gained a lot in the past twenty days.

For example, my body has become much stronger. I couldn’t even carry a hundred pounds before, but now I can carry it and walk briskly, and I can also do a day’s work steadily.
