Chapter 372 You're so greedy
The people in the big room were having dinner. When they saw Qiu Shaomei coming in with a watermelon, their eyes lit up. After working all day, it was such a pleasant thing to eat a watermelon. "
When Mother Qiu saw the looks in her family’s eyes, she became even angrier: “It’s like you haven’t had this in several lifetimes. You guys are dying of greed.”
Seeing that she was taking advantage of the situation, Grandma Qiu slammed her chopsticks on the table and said, "What you mean is that you don't want to eat, right?"
Aunt Qiu was stunned for a moment: "Grandma, I."
Without waiting for her to say anything, Grandma Qiu made the final decision: "Okay, since you don't like it, then you don't have to eat it later. Everyone is tired after a day, so don't make trouble anymore."
Uncle Qiu saw that his grandmother was angry, and glared at his wife: "The eldest wife was away today because of something, so you went into the kitchen to cook. Don't be ungrateful."
When I saw that my husband was also blaming me, I felt so sad.

The day of the city's steel rolling mill examination soon arrived, and Chuxue asked the branch secretary to get a letter of introduction one day in advance.
The branch secretary didn't make it difficult, but when he handed her the letter of introduction, he said leisurely: "Be sure to pay attention to safety when you go out."
Chuxue did not mention the steel mill examination to the branch secretary. She thought it was better to have less trouble than more, and it would not be too late to talk about it after the results were out.
In the morning, when the first snow fell, she got up before dawn. Mother Liu gave her a bowl of porridge and an egg: "Eat first. I also baked you a steamed bun made of two-grain flour left over from yesterday. You can eat it on the way."
Chu Xue took it and said, "Mom, it's still early, don't worry."
Mother Liu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Mom is not in a hurry, just a little nervous."
Chuxue said as she peeled eggs: "Mom, we just have to try our best. If we really fail the exam, that's fate."
Mother Liu was also afraid that the higher the expectations, the more pressure Chuxue would feel: "You are right, I am obsessed."
After drinking the porridge and eating the eggs, he took the fragrant baked buns and walked out: "Mom, I'm leaving. You wait for my good news at home."
Mother Liu quickly chased after him: "Be careful on the road and come back early."
Chu Xue quickened her pace as she left the village. When she arrived at the bus stop, there were already quite a few people waiting for the bus.
Not long after she arrived, the car arrived.
Fortunately, after she got on the bus, she found that there was a seat available, so she paid the fare and sat in quickly.
The car bumped all the way into the city, and Chuxue got off the car directly on the roadside. Afraid of missing the time, she trotted all the way to the steel mill.
What she didn't expect was that there was a large crowd of people standing at the factory gate. She thought: Could it be that these people are here to take the exam?
But if you think about it, you will understand. After all, it is only 1975. Junior high school and high school graduates in the city will face the situation of moving to the countryside if they don't have a job. There is only one job per person in the city, so it is normal that so many people are applying.
Just after she arrived, she heard someone standing on the high platform in the front with a loudspeaker: "Everyone, please be quiet. Those taking the exam please go inside. Relatives accompanying the examinee please move back and make way for the passage. We will start the exam on time at 8:30.
Let me make it clear again, please do not disrupt the order on site. Once discovered, no matter how well your relatives or friends have done in the exam, our steel mill will not hire them. Do you understand?"
It is difficult to find a job nowadays. Some people, in order to help their relatives pass the exam, do things that cause those who come later to take the exam to miss the exam time. This has happened before, so it is natural to mention it.
