Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...
Everyone saw Li Qiang's expression clearly.
Seeing this, Li Jiafu slammed the table and said angrily, "Let me tell you, Xiaohua is our Li family's legitimate daughter-in-law. If you think you don't want her now that you have a job, then you don't have to go to work. This job is for your sister."
Although Qin Hua had only been here for a short time, she got along very well with Li Jiafu and the others.
Everyone in the Li family is very caring towards Qin Hua, who grew up in poverty.
Qin Hua felt warm in her heart when she heard these words, and tears began to flow.
Li Qiang looked at Li Jiafu who suddenly lost his temper and Qin Hua who was crying, and quickly explained,
"Dad, what are you talking about? I don't mean what you said. What I mean is that I can only live in the city from now on, but what should I do with Xiaohua?"
Li Jiafu finally realized that he had misunderstood, but he still said stubbornly, "I'm just reminding you, kid, don't think too much. If you dare to do anything to let Xiaohua down, I won't have you as my son anymore."
Li Qiang took Qin Hua's hand and said, "Dad, don't worry. I've chosen this person for my whole life."
Qin Hua didn't expect Li Qiang to suddenly do this, and when she heard what he said, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Not only did the tears stop, but the face also turned red instantly.
Fortunately, the light was dim and I couldn’t see clearly.
After a while, he realized that everyone was looking at them, and he embarrassedly pulled his hand away.
Li Jiafu then said, "I've thought about it. For the time being, you can rent a house in the county town. Once you've established yourself in the factory, see if you can get Xiaohua to be an apprentice. It doesn't have to be a regular employee.
If it really doesn't work out, I'll just throw away my reputation and ask your uncle for help to see if he can find her an apprentice."
There are now two types of apprentices in factories.
One type is people like Li Qiang who have a letter of introduction or connections. They will be converted to regular employees after completing their apprenticeship, or they can be converted to regular employees in advance.
The other type is apprentices who have no connections and may be fired at any time. They can only wait for the opportunity to become a regular employee. It can be said that their hope is slim. This is the position that Li Jiafu wants to find for Qin Hua.
Even such an apprenticeship is a huge opportunity for rural people.
As long as she becomes an apprentice, Qin Hua can move her household registration to the city.
Now the children’s household registration follows their mother. Only in this way can Li Qiang’s children become city dwellers and enjoy benefits such as commercial grain.
Li Qiang hesitated, "Isn't this a bad idea? Uncle just helped me get a job, and if I ask him to help Xiaohua get an apprenticeship, what will Uncle think of us?"
At this time, Mr. Li spoke up, "If you can't accomplish this within the next year at the latest, then I'll risk my reputation and ask your uncle for help. If you can do it, I'll pay for it."
Old Mrs. Li also agreed.
Duan Xiaoyun and Li Jiafu couldn't help but shout, "Dad, you..."
Li Qiang and Qin Hua were also very moved. Li Qiang couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, please don't bother uncle with this matter. If you really can't find it, forget it."
Unexpectedly, several people said in unison, "No."
Old Master Li sighed and said, "Xiao Qiang, even if it's not for your own good, I can sacrifice my reputation for the sake of your children being able to eat commercial grain in the future.
Besides, it's not as difficult as you think. Your uncle once told me that city dwellers don't like this kind of work, and those who do can't afford it. And those who can afford it might be fired one day, and their money would be wasted. So as long as you can gain a foothold, spending some money shouldn't be a big problem."
Hearing this, Li Qiang was very excited, "Grandpa, is it true?"
Mr. Li responded, "Really."
What Mr. Li said was true. It was indeed a simple matter as long as one was willing to spend money. It required some favors, but there were not as many favors as Li Qiang and the others thought.
After all, how much favors can you really need from a job where you can be fired at any time?
In Li Qiang's opinion, Li Jiakang has already helped so much that he feels embarrassed to ask for more.
But Mr. Li and his people have no connections, so if Li Qiang can't do it, they still have to ask Li Jiakang for help.
Hearing the accurate answer, Li Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and then said firmly, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will stand firm soon. There is no need to trouble uncle anymore."
Seeing Li Qiang's statement, Mr. Li laughed again, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Li Qiang nodded and then asked, "Dad, Mom, how much should I give to the family every month after I start working?"
Li Jiafu looked at Duan Xiaoyun and motioned for her to answer.
Duan Xiaoyun thought for a moment and said, "For the first three years, you should pay 5 yuan per month. After all, you still have to give your uncle 6 yuan per month, and you have your own expenses. After three years, you can pay half of your salary."
Li Qiang also agreed with this.
Duan Xiaoyun continued, "When you go to the county town in a few days, rent a house. Grain will be distributed soon and it's the off-season, so let Xiaohua live with you for a while."
Qin Hua quickly refused, "Mom, I still have to take care of the family plot, how can I go with you?"
Duan Xiaoyun waved his hand. "Alright, I'll take care of the housework. Besides, I asked you to go to the county town because I wanted to have a grandson sooner. When you're free, go to your uncle's house and see if there's anything you can help with. Your aunt and the others haven't met you yet!"
Hearing this, Qin Hua blushed again. She glanced at Li Qiang and whispered, "Mom, I understand. I will work hard."
These words made Li Qiang blush.
Seeing that everything that needed to be said had been said, Li Jiafu reminded him again, "No one can say anything outside before the matter is finalized. Do you understand? Otherwise, I will make him pay."
Everyone knew that this sentence was directed at the brothers Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun.
The two brothers were frightened by the unfriendly look Li Jiafu gave them, and quickly said that they would be the most obedient and would never tell anyone about it.
Only then did Li Jiafu nod with satisfaction.
Everyone chatted for a while before they felt sleepy and went back to their rooms to rest.
Let’s talk about Li Jiakang.
It was already very late when the two returned home, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.
Li Jiakang entered his room and just lay down on the bed in the dark when he heard a voice beside him, "How's it going?"
Li Jiakang was so frightened that he sat up from the bed.
There was another "Puchi" laugh from the side.
Li Jiakang finally realized that it was Sun Xiu who was talking, and said angrily, "Why aren't you asleep yet? After we finish the work and tell them about it, we will be back. Xiaoqiang will kowtow to you in a few days!"
"Um?"
