The person pushing the bicycle is a relative of the Qiu family. The Liu family is all poor and cannot afford to ride a bicycle.
Who is this?
Liu Axia forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, this is my brother-in-law."
Qiu Qiang had just had an argument with his sister-in-law and didn't want to pay attention to her, so he asked Qiao Youcai and his brother to sit inside.
Brother Qiao Youcai followed him into the house. The house was a connecting room of about 40 square meters, with the sleeping area next to the dining table.
The three children slept in the attic, and below were Qiu Qiang and his wife’s bed and the living room.
Qiu Qiang felt a little unhappy, so he pulled one of the crooked-legged stools to his side and gave the other one to Qiao Youcai.
Liu Axia said, "It's so cold today, you must be frozen. Come and warm yourself up. I'll make some tea."
The Qiao Youcai brothers were indeed almost frozen, so they didn't hesitate to lie down by the stove to warm their hands.
After a while, Liu Axia came up with two bowls of brown sugar eggs.
Qiao Youfu had one bowl, Qiao Youcai had one bowl, and each of them had two poached eggs in their bowl, but the others had none.
The three children were in their growing years, and they kept swallowing their saliva as they smelled the sweet smell, and couldn't help stretching their necks to look.
This brown sugar and egg water is the highest standard of hospitality in the local countryside.
Brother Qiao Youcai came in a hurry, empty-handed, and had not had time to tell the news.
Both of them were stunned by the bowl of brown sugar eggs.
Liu Axia and her husband were very enthusiastic and kept persuading Qiao Youfu and his brother to eat. They were poor, but when entertaining guests, they would always take out their most precious things.
"Eat quickly and warm yourself up. I didn't have time to ask you just now. What's the matter with you rushing here in the dark in this cold weather?"
Qiao Youcai glanced at Liu Axia and her husband, and looked at the three children doing homework not far away. He really couldn't eat the bowl of brown sugar eggs.
Seeing Qiu Qiang and his wife persuading him enthusiastically, Qiao Youfu sighed secretly and gently nudged his brother with his hand, "Auntie is so enthusiastic, let's eat."
After saying that, he took the lead and started eating with his bowl.
Liu Axia and Qiu Qiang laughed even more happily when they saw that Qiao Youfu did not refuse.
Qiao Youcai seemed to understand something and also drank the soup with a slurp.
After eating a bowl of hot brown sugar eggs, my whole body warmed up.
"It smells so good. It warms me up all over. Sister and brother-in-law, thank you for the brown sugar eggs." Qiao Youcai put down the bowl and thanked sincerely.
Liu Axia laughed, "If you like it, then it's fine. I was afraid you wouldn't like it. There's nothing at home, and no one comes on weekdays. We don't even have tea."
Qiao Youcai then started talking about the real thing. He glanced at the three children behind him. The youngest one seemed to be about ten years old and was able to open the door.
"Sister, there is a job in Jiangxin. It's helping out in a restaurant. The monthly salary is 25 yuan, and it will be 28 yuan after becoming a regular employee. It's opposite the main entrance of the New Bei Hospital in Ning County. Are you willing to take it?"
Liu Axia and Qiu Qiang were both stunned.
The couple looked at each other to make sure they had heard correctly, then asked in unison with an incredulous tone.
"A job in the city?"
It's no wonder they were so shocked. In their subconscious, if they had a job in the city, they would be a glorious worker.
That's a stable job!
Liu Axia's tone was full of excitement, and her words were a little confusing. "Did I hear you right? A job? For me? A job in the city for me? Youcai, are you kidding me?"
