In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
My cousin's mother's hands, which were covering her face, slowly dropped. If her husband quit his job, she would also lose her job. What would happen to the family? What would happen to her son and daughter?
"I……"
Seeing that his wife was no longer as frivolous as before, Xie Lin softened his tone and said, "Take your resignation tomorrow! With such a comfortable working environment and the flattery of others, you have lost your way.
If my daughter can't change, I won't let Zhou Xiang give her any job, let alone those security guards.
In this life, how many people have looked down upon me and made me the butt of jokes because of working at a food station?
In the past, because it was a formal job, I could still feel confident that even if I was a pig butcher, I was still a formal employee of the state.
After the state-owned enterprises went into recession, we went out and said we were from a food company, but we were met with ridicule. After becoming the stationmaster, when I went out to attend a meeting, no one from the same declining state-owned enterprises wanted to sit with me.
I thought this was how my life would be, but Zhou Xiang came back and the food station started to generate income. At first, I didn’t dare to think too much about it. I just wanted to have basic living expenses and be able to pay the salaries of the employees.
But now, now that the piglets have become popular, the dirty and smelly pronouns that we have carried on our backs all our lives are about to be washed away.
Before the opening, I trained the piglets, but I couldn't blow the whistle in the right rhythm. My lips were all rotten, but I still persisted. This was an opportunity to change people's perspective and mentality. Finally, the pigpen of the food station in the town became popular.
But if you and your daughter continue like this, all my efforts will be in vain. The more glorious I am these two days, the more shameful I will be in the future, because I have made outstanding achievements in my work, but it is a big failure in my family.
When people praise my children in front of me, I can't say a word. What is it about my son or daughter that makes me open my mouth to talk about them? Work? Temperament? Family?
Do you think that if we hide it, outsiders won’t know what they look like?
My son is 26 now. How many years has he not been seen outside? This has finally changed. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
You're so bold, you want your daughter to marry one of those security guards who everyone else sees as a golden opportunity? Ask the townspeople, who wouldn't want their daughter to marry one of those security guards?
The security guard gets a new house when he gets married, and he is also given pension insurance and a retirement salary in the future. How can your daughter who is too lazy and can't even sweep the floor be worthy of such conditions?
When Zhou wanted to ask, my face got hot and I was irritated. I asked my daughter to cook, and she said she couldn't. How righteous and confident she was!
This is all because of your indulgence. Other people's girls can cook at a very young age. If they burn the food, you will beat them up and they will definitely cook it well next time. But you say you are afraid of wasting rice. If you cook for her, can you cook for her for the rest of her life?
I dare say that if you beat her up, she will definitely not cook well. She is taking advantage of your reluctance to waste food and doing it on purpose.
From now on, you will teach her how to cook and clean at home. If she doesn't do it well, you won't give her food.
Before, you said that my daughter was too young to teach, but now she is older, right? You should teach her. If you can't teach her well, I will return you and your daughter and ask my mother-in-law to teach her."
After Xie Ling vented his anger, he took off his shoes and went to bed without caring about his wife's expression.
My cousin's mother-in-law's expression kept changing. It would have been fine if her husband didn't lose his temper, but no one could change the decisions he made when he lost his temper.
She lost her job, and she still had to teach her daughter housework.
After tossing and turning all night, I got up with dark circles under my eyes and knocked on the north door of the west room. The west room was divided into two rooms, the south one was the son's bedroom and the north one was the daughter's bedroom.
"What are you doing? So early in the morning."
Xie Qian, in her pajamas, opened the door with sleepy eyes and asked dissatisfiedly.
My cousin's mother took a deep breath and told herself that this was her daughter and she had to teach her well. If she didn't teach her now, it would be too late. "Get up and cook."
Xie Xi's narrowed eyes immediately opened, "Mom, what did you say?"
"I said, get up and cook."
"But, but I..."
"There are no more excuses or reasons. Your dad said that if I can't teach you, we'll go back to your grandmother's house together. Also, I have to quit my job and stay home to teach you."
"Why? Did you say that week..."?
The last few words were muffled by her mother. "It's no one else's business. Your father decided."
Xie Qian, who was forced to get up and learn how to cook, was full of complaints and the fire she lit filled the yard with smoke.
"Cough cough cough," Xie Lin covered his nose and was choked uncomfortably, "Xie Xi!"
"Dad~"
"Practice making a fire at home today. If you don't have enough firewood, go out and collect some. If you don't do it well, go back to your grandma's house and practice. Once you get it right, come back and learn something else!
Dad is very wise and didn't ask for your time. I have also thought about it. If you marry into any family like this, you will bring disaster to them. I plan to keep you at home until the day I die."
After saying that, he left the house without brushing his teeth or washing his face, and went to Zhou's house. "Zhou Quan, find me a toothbrush and towel so I can wash up."
Father Zhou found a clean towel and toothbrush and handed them to him. "What's wrong? Why do you smell like cigarettes?"
"Don't mention it. It brings tears to my eyes. Oh, wait until we finish breakfast at your house, then I'll tell you about it. You've landed in such a good place. As for my family, oh, don't mention it anymore."
Zhou Xiang was surprised to see his cousin at the dinner table early in the morning. "Uncle, is there no food at home?"
"It's worse than going without food. Your cousin's mother is quitting her job. You should hire someone else."
Zhou Xiang put down his bowl in shock, "Why so sudden? Didn't you hear what my cousin's mother said?"
"I told you, I won't let her go to work anymore. She's lost her way and has almost forgotten her last name. Tell her to reflect on this. You should hire someone else!"
"Okay!" Zhou Xiang agreed. Something must have happened, otherwise his cousin would not have said that.
After finishing his meal, Xie Lin wiped his mouth and said, "I'll go to work later. Tell Ding Fan to pay more attention. I'll chat with your dad."
"Okay! Lu Zhaochong will go to the front yard to notify them and help out."
"yes."
Zhou's father took his cousin to his own house. Zhou looked at his cousin's slightly hunched back and thought of his pair of carefree children. He sighed and thought that every family has its own problems.
Ling Ran pulled his wife, "You go upstairs to feed the baby, I'll go to the front yard to watch."
"Yeah! Pay more attention to the park," Zhou Xiang nodded, then turned to Mao Xiaolu and said, "You're alone today, so pay attention. Work is also important."
"Yes, Boss Zhou."
"Zhou Nian, can you handle it over there?"
Zhou Nian nodded, "Yes, it's just selling tickets, it's very simple, even if there are a lot of people, they can't squeeze me in."
The ticket office is a newly built small service counter inside the gate. She sits there and sells tickets without feeling tired.
"Okay! Just ask if you need anything, and don't tire yourself out."
"OK."
"OK."
After feeding the child, Zhou Xiang took Lu Jing to the front yard to take a look, and saw Xie Qian entering the yard.
My cousin came early and looked worried. My cousin hadn't entered her house for more than ten years, including when she moved into the new yard and when she got married.
Could this father and daughter be together because of what their cousin mentioned yesterday?
