"It's none of my business whether you work or not! Now I'm asking you, will you let me in?"
Ding Hai looked at his mother firmly and said firmly, "Mom, stop struggling. I really can't get in."
"Okay, you forced me to do this. Remember, don't blame your mother. I had no choice. You forced me to do this." After saying that, he started cursing at the door, endlessly.
The sound of cursing could not be heard at all from the residential buildings in the courtyard. The office building had not been built yet. Suihe was busy taking people to investigate the actual living conditions of veterans every day and was not in Kyoto recently. Jiang Huashu and his friends only came when they had something to do, and they might not come once every ten days or half a month if they had nothing to do.
So Ding Hai didn't stop the old lady from cursing. She could curse as much as she wanted, since it wouldn't make him lose weight. He turned around and saw that none of the three brothers came forward to comfort her. Instead, they stood by with their arms folded, watching his joke. These three brothers were also very disappointing. Each one was lazier than the other, full of lies. It was hard to tell who they took after.
Although it was early spring, the temperature had already risen at noon. The sun was high in the sky, and the heat was rolling, as if even the air was burning.
Ding Hai was sweating and his mouth was dry, but he couldn't give in. He knew that his mother's crying was what he wanted, and this time he wanted his family to move in with Aijun. But such a soft heart would only push him into a worse situation.
No one cares about me, no one cares about me, and the days of being a soldier keep repeating over and over again.
The old lady's previous demands could be summarized as: "As long as you pay me on time, it's okay if I die outside." But that's no longer the case. Why didn't the old lady come alone, but instead brought the whole family? Even my eldest sister-in-law, who had just given birth to her third child, came with her child, who had just left the confinement room. She simply wanted to keep the whole family attached to him and support him.
When the three lazy brothers saw that the old lady could achieve her goal by throwing a tantrum, they could only become more lazy and content with the status quo.
The old lady saw that Ding Hai had no intention of letting him in, and since crying and making a fuss didn't work on him, she became a little flustered. She turned around and looked at her eldest son, wanting to ask what to do next.
That's it! Ding Hai suddenly realized that it was his elder brother who was making trouble.
"Brother, don't you work in the county? How come you have time to come to Kyoto with me? It's not easy to ask for leave from your company, right?" Ding Hai asked with pretended concern.
Ding Lei didn't dare look directly at Ding Hai. He lowered his head and stammered, "The company is on holiday."
"What? The power supply bureau is on holiday." Ding Hai initially thought he had misheard the question, but then he figured it out and said it in the affirmative. Was this a sign of being fired?
Ding Lei's job was to replace Ding Hai. Upon his return, the county's armed forces department offered him three options, perhaps as compensation for his lost arm. He chose the power supply bureau, but before he could recover from his injury, Ding Lei secretly used his letter of introduction to start work.
In this era, there was no Internet and no photo checks. You could get a job just by showing off your letter of introduction and household registration booklet.
Of course, it is unknown whether the letter of introduction was given to Ding Lei by the old lady or by Ding Lei himself, but the result is the same: Ding Lei got a stable job as a state worker.
Ding Lei only learned about this a month later when his teenage son came to show off a chicken drumstick and let it slip. The old lady then cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself, forcing Ding Hai to compromise, and the matter was eventually dropped.
"Was he fired by the power supply bureau?" Ding Hai asked suddenly and inadvertently.
Ding Lei nodded reflexively, then realized he was being tricked. He awkwardly stuck to Ding Hai, occasionally glancing at Old Lady Sun.
After hearing the truth about the boss being trapped, the old lady secretly cursed him in her heart: waste.
