When Hu Guangcai heard that he couldn’t eat meat, he refused to do it.
Nothing tastes as good as meat.
"Mom, I agree, so can I eat it?"
"Can."
Seeing that Feng Yun had given in, Hu Guangcai was extremely proud. Her mother was really shrewd and scheming, but she was still soft-hearted towards him. Isn't this giving him a back door?
After eating the meat, he will run away in the afternoon. Whoever wants to work can do it then.
But how could Feng Yun really not know what he was thinking? Her words were waiting for him.
"Sixth Brother, don't think about getting away with it today. Unless you never come home, I have plenty of ways to torment you."
The little thought that Hu Guangcai had just come up with was shattered in an instant.
"Hey, Mom, what are you talking about? With you here, how dare I be lazy? Go ahead, I will do it well this afternoon."
Several people were eating together. Huang Xing, being an outsider, felt embarrassed to pick up some meat. So, except for the two brothers, the other people in the Hu family were eating with their mouths greasy, and the two of them could only stare blankly.
In the afternoon, Hu Guangcong took Hu Guangcai and Huang Xing to the mountains to chop firewood, but they were both very tired.
At three o'clock, figuring that they could still catch the last bus, Feng Yun asked Hu Guangcong to take Hu Guangcai and Huang Xing back.
She planned to take Hu Chunhua and Hu Chunxing to stay in the city for a few days.
She had thought before that there was no need to rush to the city, but now that she was in the city, Feng Yun felt that she still had to stay for a few days to observe.
Even if she doesn't know when the opportunity will come, she can always get some benefits by following the first batch of people.
"Chun Xing, go do your thing. I'll take Chun Hua out for a look this afternoon."
Hu Chunxing naturally wouldn't stop her. Since she had decided to sell her job, she really had to go out and find someone to test the waters.
In the afternoon, after Feng Yun went out, Hu Chunxing followed him out.
She went to the textile factory to find Minglan.
Minglan was the only friend she got along with in the textile factory. She was quiet and was bullied at the beginning. It was Minglan who rescued her and continued to protect her afterwards.
If Hu Guangcai and Huang Xing had not come suddenly and caught her off guard, she would not have asked Minglan for help.
Making friends requires similar conditions, otherwise, it is easy to become psychologically unbalanced. Generally speaking, she is unwilling to accept help from others.
"Chun Xing, didn't you ask for three days off? Why are you here today?"
Minglan is a quality inspector in a textile factory. Her work is not very busy. She looks bright and pretty in her blue work clothes, which is the style that many young workers like.
"I want to sell my job." Hu Chunxing didn't mince words. She pulled Minglan's sleeve and said, "Minglan, you know a lot of people. Can you help me ask if anyone wants this job?"
Minglan frowned, "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly selling your job? Is it because of your brother?"
Minglan's family situation was also complicated. Her mother brought her with her when she got married, and she had to live a timid life in her stepfather's house. Fortunately, her stepfather's family was well-off and provided her with good material conditions. She worked hard and was admitted as a quality inspector in a textile factory. Now she lives alone in a rented house in the staff housing complex.
"I want to take the college entrance examination this year."
Hu Chunxing did not hide anything from this friend who had always shown kindness to her.
"My mom told me to sell my job, rent a house in the city, study quietly, and find a way to take the college entrance exam this year. There's still a month left, and I'm going to use this month to try my best and then go to the Education Bureau to take the exam."
"Is this possible?" Minglan was very puzzled when she heard this for the first time, but she didn't quite agree.
"Chun Xing, you have strong work ability and work hard. It won't be long before you can be transferred to a regular employee. Then you can just go to work with peace of mind. Even if you are studying now, isn't it also for the purpose of getting a job later? Since you already have a job, why bother going a little further?"
Hu Chunxing knew that Minglan was doing this for her own good, but she didn't understand why she wanted to escape from home.
Only by graduating from school could she completely get rid of the old Hu family that she hated, so even if she had to take a detour, she was willing to do so.
What's more, subconsciously, she always believed that reading was useful and she wanted to read.
"I want to study, Minglan, please ask for me."
"Alright, alright." Minglan saw Chunxing was determined and didn't say anything more. "There are plenty of people who want this job. How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Hu Chunxing thought about it and offered a high price, "One thousand."
Minglan gasped, "Are you serious? Chun Xing, formal jobs out there only pay around 1500 or 2000. You're just a temporary worker, and the salary is very low."
Hu Chunxing earns 18 yuan a month as a temporary worker, which is only 216 yuan a year. One thousand yuan is almost five years' salary. Moreover, temporary workers can be fired at any time, so one thousand yuan is really not a low salary.
Hu Chunxing's eyes flashed, and she said, "Minglan, I'm telling you this because you're my friend. If you help me sell the work, I'll give you 8% commission. The higher the sales, the more you'll get."
Minglan was tempted by this. "That's not necessary. How about this? I'll quote a price of one thousand first, giving others room for bargaining. You give me a base price so I have an idea of what to pay."
"Eight hundred, eight hundred at the lowest."
Hu Chunxing also knew that one thousand was a bit high, and eight hundred was the normal price, which was also the lowest price she could accept.
After the two of them agreed, they asked about the study materials.
It just so happened that Minglan had some unused information at home, so the two agreed to send the information to her for use when the time comes.
Only after agreeing on this did Hu Chunxing leave.
Feng Yun and Hu Chunhua went to the waste recycling station.
In her previous life, she seldom came to the city. Most of the time she stayed in the village and Han City. She only came to the city to purchase medicine when she was short of it. She was not very familiar with the city.
She had no idea where to get the reference book, but there was one place where she was sure to find it, and that was the recycling station.
During the crackdown in the early years, many books were useless and were sold. When the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, those reference books became popular.
But after a group of people passed the exam, a bunch of books were left idle, and you can definitely find reference books in the recycling station.
After asking along the way, the two walked for more than half an hour before reaching the nearest recycling station.
Working at the scrap recycling station is a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties. She wears a pair of glasses and is sorting and organizing the things collected by her colleagues.
"Hello, sister. Do you have any textbooks or reference books for elementary to junior high school?"
The eldest sister adjusted her glasses and pointed at the book in her hand.
"You're lucky too. This was just collected, but the books may not be complete. You'll have to look for them yourself."
Feng Yun smiled happily and took out a handful of candy and handed it over. "Oh, really? I'm really lucky then. Thank you, big sister. I'll go look for it and bring this candy back for your grandson."
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman became unhappy after hearing this.
