"Hiss, three pieces?" He Shan almost bit his tongue.

"This is a small amount. Some generous people give five yuan and let him take away a piece of meat."

"So good... What's Qiu Sheng thinking? Don't you want to make money? Are you tired of it? I'm so old, and I still have to work hard in the fields for a dime or two.

Tsk, but it's true, your family is well-off and you don't need these things."

"He's not short of anything, he's just lazy. The house was bought with his wife's money, and he also borrowed some from relatives in the Pan family. I don't know when he can pay it back. I urged him to have more children, but he just said he couldn't afford to raise them. Isn't that infuriating?"

Zhao Meiya knew that wealth should not be shown off. Sure enough, after hearing her say that, He Shan felt relieved.

"Don't push him too hard. It's good enough that he can come to work on time every day."

He turned around and yelled at the children he had brought with him, "Daqing, Erhong, hurry up and call someone. What are you doing sitting there? Do you really think you're guests?"

He Qing and He Hong quickly stood up and called their aunt, and Zhao Meiya smiled and stuffed a few pieces of candy into each of their hands.

"Daqing has grown stronger, which is good. You can tell at a glance that he is capable of working. He will help your father share more of the work in the future.

Erhong, I heard you're a doctor in the village. How's that going? If you have any questions, please write them down and I'll ask Xia Sheng for you when I write to him.

She was just being polite, but the two juniors' eyes lit up and they quickly thanked her.

He Qing frequently glanced at his father, only to find him preoccupied with drinking and chatting about the harvest and the weather. He couldn't help but rub his hands and said, "Aunt, I heard you came back this time with a job you want to sell. Do you think I'm suitable?"

"You're ignorant!"

He Shan glared at him. "What do you mean by selling your job? Anyone in the city can sell their job. They are much richer than us. It's because your uncle cares about the village and wants to give you guys a chance to go to the city."

"Yes, it would be a loss no matter who I sell the job to, not to mention I can get an IOU. Thank you, aunt, for thinking of us."

Zhao Meiya didn't point out the father and son's cooperation, saying, "The village has helped our family a lot in the past, and now we are also able to help out because of Dongbao. It's better to give benefits to our own people than to others."

"You are kind and righteous. Ruixue is only in her early twenties, but I heard she is already a cadre. She will be very successful in the future.

Remember to tell her to gain weight, otherwise she won’t look impressive enough when she becomes a high-ranking official in the newspapers.”

Zhao Meiya was flattered and thought to herself that no wonder he could be the team leader, his speaking skills must be excellent.

He Dagen clinked glasses with him, and then he took on the role of the bad guy. "Shanzi, it's not that we don't want to help, but that place is far away. It's not convenient for people with families to go there. Besides, they clearly stipulate that you have to be at least a high school graduate to get in. I remember Daqing only graduated from elementary school?"

He Shan nodded. Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still disappointed.

He understood that jobs in the city all had requirements, so he planned to let Erhong go if Daqing was not able to do it. Wouldn't being a worker be better than being a village doctor?

But this requirement is too high, and no one in his family can meet it at this time.

He Shan couldn't help but regret that he should have forced his children to study hard. It was a pity to miss the opportunity in front of him.

He didn't get too emotional even though he didn't achieve his goal. He continued drinking with He Dagen and said, "Sister-in-law, I sincerely thank you for your intention to help the village. I absolutely cannot let your kindness go to waste. Since Daqing is not capable, I won't force him. You can find someone who is obedient and smart to avoid losing face."

He Qing pursed his lips, his heart completely cold.

Everyone thought he had a good life as a temporary worker in the city, but only he knew his hardships. When he went to the cafeteria to eat, the regular workers ate the meat first, and when it was their turn, only some broth was left.

When he wanted to inquire about the news of his permanent position, no one paid any attention to him. Instead, they sneered and told him not to think too much, saying that people like them would be rejected even if they took the recruitment exam.

Until now, he still clearly remembers the man's nose turning up into the sky.

Thinking about how he had skipped classes and went to dig eels with others to sell for money, he regretted it so much.

None of the team leader and the young people from several elders of the He family met the requirements, which made the old men who originally wanted to put on airs and build relationships with He Dagen give up.

After all, it’s not that they don’t want to choose, but that no one in their factory meets the requirements. Even if you really insist on getting a quota, the factory will not accept you.

However, because no one in the team leader's family was elected, he acted more fairly and called a meeting of the villagers.

There are not many high school students in the village, but there are a few. He plans to rank them according to their work points over the years. Whoever has contributed the most to the team will go. No one has any objection.

But there is no wall that is impenetrable. When the educated youth heard about this, they insisted on getting involved, saying that they were also villagers and had to ensure fairness and justice. If they were not allowed to participate, they would report it to the educated youth office.

The captain was so angry that he laughed. This was originally a way for the He family to give back to the clan. Being able to get the whole village to participate was considered fair on his part. He would be in the wrong no matter where he sued.

However, he did not want to destroy the unity of the village, fearing that if the matter got out of hand, people from other villages or even the commune would come to scramble for the quota, so he decided to agree to their request.

He just didn't believe that the young men in the village couldn't work as well as these educated youth?

Zhao Meiya stayed in the village for one day, and then the person was selected. It was He Dagen's cousin who was five generations away from home, named He Li.

In his early years, his family was well off and could send him to school. Later, his father passed away and life became tight. He was already 23 years old and still unmarried, which was rare in the village.

Because he is thin and doesn't look like he can support a family.

He has a younger brother named He Xin, who just turned twenty years old and has only attended elementary school. However, he is very strong and can get full work points every day. He is more popular than him and has been engaged to someone early on.
