Huang Qinqin: ......
Yes, she really is quite silly, actually having expectations for Dun Dun, who is not even four years old...
Huang Qinqin felt looked down upon by Dundun, and approached Dundun with a mischievous smile: "Dundun~ I'll give you one more chance, what did you just say about your aunt?"
Dundun looked at Huang Qinqin with an innocent expression and repeated, "Auntie, you're silly~ I'll just call you little brother."
Huang Qinqin stretched out her wicked hands and kept kneading Dundun's face until it was deformed.
He mumbled incoherently, "Ugh, gurgle~ let go of Dun Dun~ gurgle chunks..."
"Then will you dare to call your aunt stupid next time?"
"I won't do it again!"
After Huang Qinqin let go, she checked again and found that Dundun's face wasn't red. She couldn't help but feel proud of her skills.
The first time she rubbed Dundun's little face, it was quite a disaster; she rubbed Dundun's face until it was as red as an apple.
After playing with Dun Dun for a while, someone finally finished their work. While she still remembered, Huang Qinqin asked, "Sister-in-law, has the baby been named yet?"
"He's been born. His full name is Huang Zhiming, and his nickname is Kang Kang. My second brother hopes he will be healthy in the future."
Suddenly, Dun Dun asked, "Then why is Dun Dun called Dun Dun?"
Huang Qinqin, Sister-in-law Huang: ......
How are they supposed to answer that? Should they just say it's because you were chubby when you were born?
Seeing that they were all silent, Dundun raised her head and continued to ask, "Mommy, Auntie, why is Dundun called Dundun?"
Huang Qinqin was the first to pass the question to her sister-in-law: "This aunt doesn't know either, because she wasn't there when Dundun was named. Dundun, you should ask your mother."
After saying that, he silently distanced himself from Sister-in-law Huang, avoiding looking at her.
Sister-in-law Huang: (=?Д?=)
That's not fair! Dun Dun is extremely sensitive about people saying he's heavy or fat. It's probably because most children in the village are on the thinner side, so Dun Dun's chubby figure stands out.
But actually, Dundun isn't considered fat. At least in the city, there are many children of Dundun's size.
But now the problem is, how is she going to explain his name to Dundun? It's all Huang Jiancai's fault for giving Dundun such a nickname!
Although this name suits DunDun very well...
"Ahem, well, well, your parents hope that Dundun will grow up to be a kind and honest person, so they named you Dundun."
After racking her brains for a long time, Sister-in-law Huang finally came up with a somewhat acceptable reason.
Dun Dun was quite satisfied after hearing this. Although he didn't know what "honest and simple" meant, he could accept it as long as it wasn't because of his weight.
......
Another half hour passed before Huang Jiancai and his group finally returned, accompanied by the brigade secretary, the village head, and several other people around Huang Jianmin's age.
As soon as the brigade secretary came in, he said gratefully to Grandpa Huang, "You really have a good son and a good granddaughter! Thank you, Qin'er, for telling us about this. You don't know how difficult it is for people in our village to find a job!"
The village chief agreed wholeheartedly, saying with satisfaction, "Yes, not to mention the household registration issue, just one thing is certain: many times, even if the city is recruiting workers, the village has no idea about it."
"Whether they succeed or not this time, it's their own fate. We should all thank you, Qin, for telling us! Thank you for remembering us; you haven't forgotten your roots at all, that's wonderful!"
Grandpa Huang's face lit up with a smile as he listened to the brigade secretary and village head's words. He humbly replied, "Not at all. It was just a casual remark; anyone would have said the same. Haha."
"Old buddy, you don't need to be modest. It's not like your family is the only one in the village whose son, Eryuan, has become a city dweller. But have you seen anyone else tell us there are job openings in the city?"
The brigade secretary and the others came mainly to say hello and let them know they would remember this favor. It's getting late, so they decided not to bother them any longer.
“I heard from Jiancai that you’re leaving for the city tonight, and I think it might be a bit rushed. How about this, Qin’er, you go back first tonight, and then the other young men can set off together early tomorrow morning. What do you think?”
Huang Qinqin thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, the department store hasn't posted any job notices yet. Tomorrow morning, cousins, remember to bring your household registration book, letter of introduction, and graduation certificate. Come to my house then."
......
This morning, a colleague from the food factory canteen gave Xu Junhui and the others some coconut candy. Xu Junhui didn't eat it himself, but took it back to Huang Qinqin at noon to try, and she seemed to like it quite a bit.
When I went to work in the afternoon, I specifically asked my colleague where they bought it. When I heard that it was a new batch from the supply and marketing cooperative, I went and bought some as soon as I got off work.
When he got home, he found that Huang Qinqin hadn't returned yet. He knew that Huang Qinqin had gone back to inform his cousins, so he stayed home and waited for her to come back.
When Xu Hongxia saw that Xu Junhui had bought candy, and it was a kind of candy she had never seen before, she confidently reached out and said, "Brother, what kind of candy did you buy? Can I have a couple to try?"
Xu Junhui glanced at her and casually handed her two pieces: "These are coconut candies, a new variety from the supply and marketing cooperative."
Looking at the two coconut candies in her hand, Xu Hongxia fell silent. Did she really only give her two when she said two? But something is better than nothing.
She immediately tore one open and ate it. Xu Hongxia couldn't quite describe the taste; it was a bit like White Rabbit milk candy, but with a unique aroma. Still, it was delicious!
"Bro, this candy is so delicious! Can I have a few more?"
"No, I won't give it to you. This is for your sister-in-law. Don't you have your own pocket money? This candy doesn't require candy coupons, but it's a bit expensive. If you want some, just go buy it yourself."
Xu Junhui wasn't being stingy by not giving her the candy, but even though it didn't require a coupon, it was really expensive—one yuan and fifty cents per pound, more expensive than meat!
He only gets five yuan of pocket money a month. It's the end of the month now, and after buying all this candy, he only has a few cents left. He's heartbroken!
He would never have bought it if Huang Qinqin hadn't liked it. Now that Xu Hongxia is asking him for it, he refuses.
Anyway, he knew that his parents gave her pocket money every month, and Huang Qinqin even gave her one yuan this month.
Xu Junhui had a gut feeling that Xu Hongxia's monthly allowance was definitely more than his! He now understood why Xu Weiguo always tried to hide his secret stash of money.
Sometimes I really panic when I don't have any money. I can ask my wife for some, but I always feel a little embarrassed.
Xu Junhui knew that Xu Hongxia used to help her classmate out of money, spending half of her allowance on her.
Others treat her like a sucker, but she treats them like close friends. How foolish!
