The work is done
Two days later, Xu Fengcheng bought Xu Hongqi's job again, but the atmosphere at home was obviously very bad.
Xu Ersao, who is usually quite gentle, has been scolding every chicken and dog these past two days, which makes Xu Nian always suspect that there is a three-flavor true fire in her body that needs to be extinguished urgently.
It was rare for Xu's mother not to mention her daughter-in-law. She also told Xu Nian not to interfere in household affairs recently and let them vent their anger.
Only Mrs. Xu murmured to her husband, "You always say that my sister-in-law is gentle and doesn't cause trouble, and always say that I'm strong and powerful. Now stop saying that!"
——
Xu's father had always wanted to wait until Xu Hongqi recovered before going to the county town to handle business. When Xu Hongqi found out about this, he showed rare strength and refused to do so.
Early that morning, Xu Qinghua said goodbye to Lao Fang and asked for leave. He took the letter of introduction and went to the county town with his youngest son and Xu Hongqi.
On the way, Xu's father saw Xu Hongqi limping and struggling, and sighed, "Why are you so stubborn? Even if we were to pull a donkey cart, no one would say anything."
Seeing that they had only walked halfway, Xu Hongqi stroked his right leg and said nonchalantly, "Uncle Xu, it's nothing. I can't tell you about it in front of so many people. I know people at the factory."
Father Xu thought this was normal. Hongqi had lived in the wood furniture factory until she was seven years old, so it wasn't surprising that she knew someone familiar. So he said, "Then let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things and visit some people."
Xu Hongqi could feel the wound on his right leg tearing apart, and there was a burning pain, but he endured it and said, "Uncle Xu, this Aunt Rong I know was a good friend of my mother's. She has taken good care of me over the years."
The wound may have been stained with sweat during the movement, which suddenly stimulated a nerve. Xu Hongqi paused before continuing, "Aunt Rong is the director of the finance department in the factory."
This was something that the Xu family's father and son had not expected. They looked at each other and seemed to understand something.
Xu Hongqi saw their reactions and understood what was going on. "If we want to hand over our responsibilities, we need a guarantor, and it's best not to alert the enemy right now. When we get to the county town, have my third brother go and give this letter to Aunt Rong. We'll meet at the entrance of Shili Lane."
After saying these words, Xu Hongqi's breathing became a little heavier. Father Xu lamented that the child was very cunning, but he was not disgusted. After all, everyone could see Hongqi's situation. If he was really a fool, he would have been bullied to the point of being completely gone.
He turned to his stunned little son and said, "Hurry up and hold on to the red flag."
After saying this, afraid that Xu Hongqi would refuse again, he said with understanding: "Uncle knows what you mean. Wait until you get to the county and then leave on your own. Otherwise, I really can't bear it."
Seeing this, Xu Hongqi didn't say anything more. With the strength of Xu Fengcheng's arm, the three of them continued to move forward.
Those who can "run rampant" in school are not stupid. The atmosphere at home has been bad in the past two days, and Xu Fengcheng is also feeling unhappy, but he would not agree to give up his job. He just hopes that after getting the job, he will pay more money to his family.
Now, whenever Xu Hongqi said something, he would analyze it in his mind before doing it.
Standing at the gate of the county furniture factory, Xu Fengcheng took a handful of candy and gave it to the guard and asked, "Uncle, I came to the factory to talk to my aunt about something. Could you do me a favor and deliver this letter to me?"
The gatekeeper used to be a skilled worker in the factory, but he only came to guard the factory gate because he was old. He had spent most of his life in the factory, so he would know who it was as soon as he said the name.
The guard was sitting in the pavilion at the factory gate. He stuck his head out the window and asked, "Tell me, who are you looking for?"
Seeing someone asking, Xu Fengcheng quickly said, "I'm looking for the director of the Finance Department, Bai Rongrong."
The gatekeeper finally looked at the visitor without squinting, "Are you looking for our director of finance?"
Xu Fengcheng said affirmatively: "Yes!"
The gatekeeper stretched out his hand from the window and said, "Give me the letter and I'll deliver it to you."
Xu Fengcheng quickly handed the letter to the person, and when he saw the person go in, he stood at the door and waited, not daring to leave.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman wearing a white shirt with yellow flowers and black Dacron pants appeared behind the security guard. When the two of them approached, Bai Rongrong looked at the newcomer with a puzzled look.
Hesitantly, he followed Xu Fengcheng to a less crowded area and asked, "Who are you?"
Xu Fengcheng thought that he was the leader of the factory. If he really worked in the factory in the future, he would have to be careful with him. So he said cautiously: "Leader, to be precise, it's not me who is looking for you. It's Hongqi who asked me to come to you."
Feeling unsure, he added, "Xu Hongqi, do you know him?"
Bai Rongrong was able to make this trip because she saw Xu Hongqi's handwritten letter. When she saw what the young man in front of her said, she reacted.
"Did something happen to Hongqi?"
Xu Fengcheng didn't quite understand what was said and let out an "ah"!
Bai Rongrong felt a little anxious seeing him like this. Usually, Xu Hongqi would come here secretly when there was nothing important, but this time he actually asked someone to lead the way. She was afraid that the child would be bullied.
Xu Fengcheng saw the anxious expression on the leader's face and knew that he had misunderstood. He quickly said, "No, no, nothing happened to Hongqi."
He didn't dare to directly mention the matter of buying a job, so he could only say dryly: "Why don't you come with me to Shilixiang, where the red flag is waiting."
Bai Rongrong was an experienced person after all. When she mentioned Xu Hongqi and the person in front of her didn't look particularly anxious or worried, she knew that he should be fine.
So I wasn't so anxious anymore, "Please wait a moment, I'll go arrange my work and ask for leave."
Seeing that things were going well, Xu Fengcheng felt relieved and nodded obediently.
Bai Rongrong went back to the factory and briefly explained the matter, then followed Xu Fengcheng to Shili Lane.
Shilixiang, as the name suggests, is an alley. It is also a residential area with complex terrain, with alleys connected to each other. There is a river in the north of the outer perimeter and several pavilions. However, on working days, not many people come here.
When Bai Rongrong arrived, she saw Hongqi standing at the entrance of the alley with his back slightly bent, leaning against the wall and his head lowered. There was a farmer standing next to him, saying something.
Bai Rongrong was afraid someone was causing trouble, so she shouted before they even got close: "Red Flag!"
When Xu Hongqi heard the voice, he straightened up and a genuine smile appeared on his face. It was not the faint smile or forced smile he had shown in the past few days, but a joy that came from the heart.
"Aunt Rong, you're here!"
As they talked, they walked towards each other. Bai Rongrong was startled to see Xu Hongqi limping and quickly supported him. "Hongqi, what's wrong with your leg?"
As he was about to squat down to take a look, Xu Hongqi tried to pull the man up, but instead of pulling him up, he suddenly made a "hiss" sound. This indeed diverted Bai Rongrong's attention. She thought she had accidentally touched Xu Hongqi's wound or something.
Seeing that Aunt Rong was no longer holding him tightly, Xu Hongqi helped her up. This allowed Bai Rongrong to see that he also had a wound on his right hand, which was now oozing with blood.
He immediately became anxious, "Hongqi, please come to the hospital with me immediately. What happened to you? What on earth happened to you?"
Xu Hongqi shook his head at the others, then calmed Bai Rongrong and said to the Xu family father and son, "Let me introduce you. This is my mother's good friend and the aunt who treated me the best."
One of the Xu family's father and son had just gone to pick up someone, and the other had heard of her on the way, so they both greeted Bai Rongrong in a friendly but slightly reserved manner.
Then Xu Hongqi said to Bai Rongrong, "Aunt Rong, this is a friend my father knew before he died... I've been staying at their house for the past few days."
Bai Rongrong calmed down, said hello lightly, and then became anxious to take Xu Hongqi to see a doctor.
Seeing that everyone had already gotten to know each other briefly, Xu Hongqi said to the Xu family father and son, "Uncle Xu, could you and Third Brother please go and help look out for me while I talk to Aunt Rong."
At that time, Xu's father didn't know what Xu Hongqi meant. After hearing what he said, he took Xu Fengcheng and walked about a hundred steps.
After Xu Hongqi saw the person walk away, he turned to Bai Rongrong and said, "Aunt Rong, my injury is not serious. I came here today to ask you for a favor."
Bai Rongrong could tell with her own eyes that Xu Hongqi's wound was not serious, but she knew that the child would not ask her for help unless it was a big deal, so she would not refuse Xu Hongqi at this moment.
I just said, "Tell me what you want, and I'll do it for you if I can."
Xu Hongqi had already spent quite a bit of time on the road, and since it was already mid-morning, he said without further ado, "Auntie, I want to sell Xu Chunling's job."
Bai Rongrong had never thought it was this and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why do you suddenly think like this? Did that beast force you to do something again?"
Xu Hongqi shook his head and continued, "It's just a slight connection with them. The important thing is that even if I get this job, I won't be safe. I also want to sell this job and make some money."
Without waiting for Bai Rongrong to say anything, he continued, "You've already helped me a lot. If you continue to help me, your family will be unhappy. I understand.
Now there is an opportunity. I am injured and living in the home of Uncle Xu, whom I just introduced to you. His youngest son has just graduated from junior high school and wants to come to the factory to work."
"This family has some connections, which is just right for me."
Bai Rongrong thought about it and realized that what Xu Hongqi said was the best choice for him, but it was a bit regrettable.
"Hongqi, as long as you have made up your mind, I will do it for you."
But he still had doubts in his heart, so he asked, "If we only buy Xu Chunling's share, what about Liu Jun's share?"
Xu Hongqi suppressed his hatred for Liu Jun and said, "Even a rabbit will bite when it's cornered. Let him hop around for a while. Transfer Xu Chunling's job first. The Xu family will be able to handle it."
Bai Rongrong saw that he had a plan in mind and stopped interfering. "Have you and that young man brought your household registration? If you have, I'll go and get it done for you. But I'll have to trouble Sister Liu from the Personnel Department for this. I'll have to give her twenty yuan as a token of appreciation."
Xu Hongqi had inquired about this matter before and nodded to Bai Rongrong, "I've brought my household registration."
As he spoke, he handed the money to Bai Rongrong and told her about the transaction with the Xu family.
After hearing this, Xu Rongrong felt that the family was quite kind. However, since this matter was a private transaction, it was not appropriate to discuss it too much. It was enough to know that Xu Hongqi did not suffer any loss.
The money in Xu Hongqi's hand was brought by the Xu family last night, a total of eight hundred yuan.
Xu Rongrong wanted to pay the money on behalf of Xu Hongqi, so she was not going to accept it, but the child had been stubborn for a long time, and in the end she had to accept it after some pushing.
In the end, she could only helplessly pat Xu Hongqi, saying, "You kid!"
Bai Rongrong saw that she hadn't contributed much to the financial matters, and she wanted Xu Hongqi to have a peaceful life in the future, so she said, "Since that kid has graduated from junior high school, I just happen to be looking for someone. I'll arrange for him to work as a clerk in our finance department, which would be considered a small clerk."
“It’s just that I need to go to the workshop frequently to check the quality of the workers’ work and count the number of pieces.”
"As for Xu Chunling, she'll just be helping out in the kitchen. When the time comes, I'll give the quota to the canteen manager. He'll be absolutely delighted."
Xu Hongqi was actually a little worried that Xu Fengcheng would not be able to defeat Liu Jun, who had been working in the factory for many years. Now that he saw that Work was better than that man, it was hard to say what would happen. He also knew in his heart that if Aunt Rong did not have some power in the factory, this matter would not be easy to handle. After all, Work was too precious.
The two agreed and called the Xu family's father and son. After they discussed it, they were afraid that the night would be too long and there would be more trouble, so they quickly followed Bai Rongrong to get things done.
After Xu Fengcheng got the work certificate, he immediately went to the household registration office to transfer his relationship from the Third Brigade to Hua County. This was also what Bai Rongrong reminded him of, so that it would be less likely for something unexpected to happen. At this point, the matter finally came to an end.
Father Xu rubbed the work permit and household registration booklet he had obtained, feeling excited and grateful, and couldn't help but shake Xu Hongqi's hand.
Xu Fengcheng, on the other hand, was much more extroverted and had no idea what modesty was. He simply hugged Xu Hongqi and spun around twice, his eyes red.
Naturally, Xu's father beat him twice for this behavior, but he didn't care at all. Xu Fengcheng only knew that he finally got the job.
