They are both cleaners, but she would rather sweep the streets than work as a cleaner in a bookstore.
Street sweeping is the job of the street office. Lu Jiangting said that as long as you work hard, you will get a salary when you retire in the future.
Today is the last day Lu Jiangting gave her, and she has not found a suitable job.
In fact, it’s not hard to find jobs. There are jobs like serving dishes and washing dishes in hotels.
But she complained that the salary was low, the work was tiring and dirty, and there was no security, so she didn't want to do it.
Finally, Lu Jiangting's plan was agreed.
"Then tell Uncle Wang that I'm willing to go sweep the streets."
Lu Jiangting breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right. After working for three months, you will be promoted to a regular employee, and your salary will be increased to 60. Although you are still a cleaner, this is much better than working as a cleaner for a private boss."
The important thing is that he had asked about Fang Qing's job, which was usually to clean up at night when there were few people around.
Either very early or very late, it won't delay her daytime.
His parents are old, one has cancer and the other has poor eyesight, so they can't be alone at home during the day.
It’s okay at night. My parents are asleep at night. What can happen?
If that doesn't work, he can always come back.
Fang Qing nodded. "You're right. That's the truth. No matter how cheap it is, this is a stable job."
Lu Jiangting looked at the things in the room and found that a lot of things were missing.
"Have you all moved there?"
"Yes, I'll move a little bit if I have nothing to do these few days."
Seeing how much she had done, Lu Jiangting said a few words of comfort, "Fang Qing, I've been quite busy lately. Thank you for your hard work."
"Why are we talking about this as a family? Whoever is free can do it."
Seeing how sensible she was, Lu Jiangting nodded repeatedly, "Yes, since we are married, there is no distinction between yours and mine. Don't worry, when I get my salary in a few days, I will give you all the money."
It was a bit hard, but his words of not distinguishing between yours and mine made Fang Qing very happy.
She felt that Lu Jiangting was gradually accepting her.
I’ve always said it, people are all made of flesh and blood, how can they not be warmed?
Lu Jiangting is a sentimental person, and he sees how much she has given.
After all the hard work over the past few years, he will compensate himself well after sending his parents away.
Fang Qing said a bunch of nice words to coax him.
Lu Jiangting was moved and said something like husband and wife are one, sharing the joys and sorrows.
Both of them were very happy.
…
Lu Cong and Wang Cuilan came after all, and Lin Yuyao knew about this a long time ago.
As early as three days ago, on the day they both boarded the train, Ye Lian called to tell Lin Yuyao.
They said they were going to South City for medical treatment and specifically reminded her not to lend them money.
Cancer is incurable, it's a bottomless pit.
If you lend it out, it will be a waste of money.
The whole family lives on Lu Jiangting's salary. Money is required everywhere in the city, and it is unknown when the money can be paid back.
Lin Yuyao was not stupid, so of course she refused to lend it.
As luck would have it, today when she went to the new house to collect the electric fan, she unexpectedly ran into Fang Qing and Lu Cong.
"Yuyao?"
She originally didn't want to pay attention to them, but Lu Cong called her.
Lin Yuyao smiled faintly, "Uncle Lu, are you guys coming over to play?"
"No, we... Alas! I'm sick, and we're here to get treatment."
"Oh, then you should get well treated. The hospital here is better than back home. I'll leave if there's nothing else."
There were people coming and going on the street, and as a well-mannered young woman, she could handle it with dignity even if the quarrel between the two families was embarrassing.
After saying this, she ran away, running very fast, for fear that they would ask her to borrow money.
There were three of them in their family. Fang Qing was carrying the luggage. Wang Cuilan had poor eyesight, so she held onto Lu Cong and at the same time used Lu Cong as her eyes. She watched Lin Yuyao run away and couldn't catch up with her.
Seeing that she had moved into such a nice neighborhood, Lu Cong curiously asked Fang Qing, "Does she live here?"
Fang Qing felt uncomfortable when talking about this matter.
If they had known earlier, they would have bought a wedding house here.
"Yes, the wedding house that the Fu family bought for us is here."
"Wedding room?"
"Yes, when families with good conditions get married, they always buy a new house for their sons to get married in."
Then she looked at the shabby neighborhood next door and said, "Let's go, we'll live here."
She emphasized the words deliberately.
Lu Cong was not stupid, so he naturally heard the complaint in her words.
"What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied that our Jiang Ting doesn't have enough money to buy you a new house?"
Fang Qing: “…”
"Humph, don't you see what you are capable of? You are a widow with a burden. The fact that you can find Jiang Ting in our family is a blessing from your ancestors. You have accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes to get this."
Fang Qing was almost amused. Thinking that the old man had cancer and would not live for many days, she just endured it.
"Dad is right. I am definitely not worthy of Jiang Ting. Come on, I'll take you to where you live."
The house there has been sold out, so it's free to apply for this one.
Lu Jiangting's situation was special, so he took the initiative to take care of the widows and orphans of his comrades.
After Lao Wang's pen touched up the story, the friendship between him and Wang Jianjun was described in a way that made the listeners sad and moved to tears.
After Comrade Wang Jianjun died, Lu Jiangting stepped forward without hesitation to take care of his wife and children.
As for how to take care of the bed?
People say that orphans and widows are easily bullied. If he took care of them privately, it would easily attract gossip. He had no choice but to marry Fang Qing so that it would be easier to take care of them.
Lao Wang has a powerful writing skill and he portrays Lu Jiangting as quite righteous.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiangting's father was diagnosed with cancer.
The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop; the son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there.
Even though his father had cancer, he wanted to prolong his life as much as possible, so he brought him here to be cared for.
For a person with such good character, if his family is in financial difficulty, it would be no problem to help him solve his housing problem.
So, I applied for a free house.
It is normal for a house that is about to be demolished to be a bit dilapidated.
Lu Cong had been complaining all the way, but when he saw the house that was as small as a pigsty, he was completely devastated.
"This house is not even as big as my pigpen. Do you mean we will live here from now on?"
Fang Qing said, "Dad, the houses in the city are all small, so they can't compare to those in the countryside."
"Then wasn't the house you rented before quite big?"
Fang Qing: “…”
"I rented that house myself for 20 yuan a month. This house was found for me by Leader Jiang Ting, it's free. We are different now than before, your medical treatment costs money, you have to save money."
When I heard it was free, I thought this house was okay.
"Really free?"
"Yes, it's free."
"That's more like it."
They were tired from the journey, so after asking Fang Qing where she wanted to sleep, they lay down on the bed without taking off their clothes or shoes.
Fang Qing frowned, "Dad, take off your shoes."
"It's okay, I'll leave it outside and won't put it under the quilt."
Will it be okay if I don't put it under the quilt?
Is it hard to take off your shoes?
Fang Qing was really impressed.
