Chapter 62 Celebrating Work



Then they bought a bicycle to go to work. They talked until their lips were dry. Only then did Xu's mother pat her butt and stand up.

"Okay, no more talking. Today, my family has meat. I have to celebrate my daughter's work."

"Sister-in-law, I bought some cloth for you. Please make two new sets of clothes." Xu Ying came out of the house holding a pile of cloth and gave it to Sister-in-law Xu.

If she remembered correctly, her eldest sister-in-law's eldest brother had recently arranged a marriage, and the red cloth she gave was just right for this happy occasion.

When the system gave her the red cloth before, she complained that it was useless, but now it has come in very useful.

My eldest sister-in-law is a married girl. She has never given any financial support to her parents' family. Instead, she has been burdened by their family and often goes back to borrow things.

Now, the Xu family is living a good life and they are standing taller. They cannot let their sister-in-law down.

"Sister-in-law, use this blue cloth to make a dress. If you think the red one is ugly and too conspicuous, you can do whatever you want with it."

How could red not look good? She just said it on purpose to prevent her sister-in-law from being timid and not knowing how to distribute the fabric.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, her brows furrowed. How could she possibly reject such beautiful fabric?

She took the cloth back to the house and showed it to the man proudly: "My younger sister gave it to me to make clothes with."

Brother Xu smiled when he saw so many fabrics. The happiest thing for a grown man is probably that his wife and family get along well with each other.

Before, his wife was bullied by her mother and younger sister, and he felt distressed when he saw it. Now that his mother and younger sister are getting better and better, Brother Xu's frown finally relaxed.

He looked at the pile of cloth his wife was holding and asked curiously, "Isn't that too much?"

Mrs. Xu shook her head and said, "I'll use the blue cloth to make myself a set of clothes, and the rest will make you a pair of pants. My eldest brother is getting married soon.

Cloth is hard to buy now, I want to take this red cloth back to my eldest brother and ask him to make a new dress for my new sister-in-law."

Brother Xu shook his head: "I just made a new set of clothes. I don't want pants. You have been in our house for so many years and you haven't bought new clothes. You can make another pair of pants yourself."

Mrs. Xu understood the kindness. She put down the cloth and said to the man, "I'm going to go out and cook first. My grandparents and my second and third uncles and their families will be here soon."

She said with a smile on her face: "My little sister is really promising. She actually went to work in a state-owned restaurant. I'll tell others that my little sister is a great chef."

"I'll help you." When Brother Xu heard that he had to cook for so many people, he didn't want his wife to work so hard.

He followed Sister Xu out of the house, and when he reached the kitchen door, he saw Xu Ying busy at work. He said reluctantly, "Little sister, come out. Your sister-in-law and I will take care of it."

Mrs. Xu didn't want her to work so hard and have to cook every day in the future, so she could just do it at home.

Otherwise, I would get bored of cooking every day.

"Brother, can you cook? How about you help us light the fire, sister-in-law, you help me prepare the dishes, and I'll cook. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat my cooking often in the future.

If you want to eat, you have to go to a restaurant, which costs a lot of money."

Brother Xu scratched his head. He really couldn’t cook.

Mrs. Xu also wanted to eat the food cooked by her younger sister, so she nodded and made a happy decision.

There was a pheasant at home, and some fish bought by Brother Xu, so dinner was not bad.

After being called by Brother Xu, the people in the old house quickly came home carrying things.

Uncle Xu was a little surprised, but why did they get together for a meal when it was a festival? However, he thought that his family could save a meal, and the food would definitely be good when they had a meal together.

He smiled happily and called his wife and daughter to go to his eldest brother's house.

"Yingying, your aunt brought some vegetables and a pound of pork ribs. Can you see what you can do with them?" Aunt Xu carried the meat and vegetables into the kitchen. She wanted to help with the cooking, but when she saw that there was no place to stand in the kitchen, she left on her own accord.

But when she came out she didn't come out empty-handed, she took out the fried peanuts and fried mushrooms made by Xu Ying.

"Smells good, smells good, let's eat it." Xu Shengshun drooled, looking at the fried peanuts brought by Aunt Xu and feeling extremely greedy: "Mom, let's eat it."

Aunt Xu felt a little embarrassed seeing her son like this.

Shitou, go to the kitchen and get a bowl and chopsticks for your uncle."

When Shitou heard this, he didn't bother to play with his third uncle anymore. He got up and ran to the kitchen, and sensibly served a lot of peanuts to his eldest uncle.

"Uncle, eat first. I'll come see you later."

Xu Shengshun took the bowl and ate with chopsticks, enjoying the delicious food.

Aunt Xu's eyes turned red when she saw this scene: "Eat quickly, you are so ignorant even though you are so grown up."

When Old Man Xu heard this, he said with a droopy face: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is this what Shengshun wants? You are hurting the child's heart by saying this."

What was supposed to be a happy occasion was disrupted by this incident, and the yard was filled with dark clouds.

"Mom and Dad, they're all here." Uncle Xu walked into the yard with a casual step.

When Old Man Xu saw his third son, he was furious and said with a dark face, "What are you doing here? It's such a pity to see you on such a nice day."

Uncle Xu was not moved at all when he heard this. His father had cursed him many times.

He smiled shamelessly, turned his head and looked at Father Xu and asked, "Brother, what good news is this? I can smell the aroma of meat from a long distance away. I'm so greedy."

"Yingying will go to work in a state-owned restaurant the day after tomorrow." said Xu's father.

Uncle Xu was holding onto the stool and preparing to sit down, but before he could sit down, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground with a thump. "Big brother, are you kidding me? How could Yingying possibly work in a state-owned restaurant? It's so hard to get into that place, how could a little girl like her possibly do that?"

"Uncle San is here, come and light the fire for me." Xu Ying's loud voice came from the kitchen.

Old Man Xu thought that his youngest son would not go. Just as he was about to say a few words to him, he saw his youngest son quickly get up from the ground and go into the house.

Old man Xu rubbed his eyes and said, this is still the third brother.

Old Mrs. Xu was also slightly surprised.

"Yingying, tell your uncle the truth, why did you end up working in a state-owned restaurant?" Uncle Xu had a serious look on his face. He had made a bet with his niece a few days ago.

This guy couldn't be trying to fool him.

"You have to rely on your own strength to get in. Uncle, is the food I cooked delicious?" Xu Ying asked without turning back, holding a spatula.

Uncle Xu nodded. He had eaten the food cooked by Yingying and it was indeed good.

But even so, it is not easy to enter state-owned restaurants.

These days, jobs are basically based on nepotism, and it doesn’t depend on ability but on relationships.

In many factories, everyone from top to bottom is related to each other.

If it was based on his real strength, he wouldn't have been eliminated in the first place.

"It's delicious, but it's hard to get into the state-owned restaurant." Uncle Xu's face was serious, and suddenly he seemed like a different person, exuding an aura that should not be underestimated.

Xu Ying didn't know much about her third uncle and didn't understand why she went into the state-owned restaurant and why her third uncle reacted so strongly.

“It’s not easy to get into a company nowadays, but if you have the ability, you have a chance of success.

I'm going to work in a state-owned restaurant. Is Uncle San unhappy?" Xu Ying turned her head and looked at him.

Uncle Xu shook his head. He was very happy that his niece could get in. Not only would it give him face, but his eldest brother's family would also live a better life.

"I'm happy. Does what you said before about helping me find a job still count?" Uncle Xu turned into his playful face again, as if the serious look he had previously shown had never appeared at all.
