After hearing this, the man hurriedly reached out to shake hands with her, but then found that both of his hands were occupied, so he could only smile at her awkwardly.
"Jingjing's classmate, what do you want to do here today? If you want to play with Jingjing, then follow me home."
After hearing her words, Fang Zhiyi looked at the person in front of him, shook his head and said:
"Forget it, I'm not looking for her to play with. I just happened to meet you, so you can tell her the news. It just so happens that the thing she asked me to do didn't get done, and I don't have the face to see her anymore."
The man asked with some confusion: "What's the matter?"
"Sister-in-law Jingjing is not graduated now. If she doesn't have a job, she will go to the countryside. She originally asked me to find a job for her. She wanted to buy a job so that she doesn't have to go to the countryside."
"She wanted the job I had, but then I thought I couldn't give it to her. My brother depends on me for support. If I gave her the job, we wouldn't be able to make a living."
Fang Zhiyi said this with an embarrassed look on his face, acting as if it was something wrong for him not to give him a job.
When the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family heard her say this, she said in a somewhat shrill voice, somewhat incredulous:
"What do you mean by buying her a job? Who told you that? Our family doesn't have the money to buy her a job."
Fang Zhiyi was a little puzzled when he heard her say this: "It was Jingjing herself who said that she wanted to buy my job. Don't you know that?"
"But please tell Jingjing that I can't give him this job anymore. Tell him to find someone else quickly."
"Otherwise, I'll be forced to go to the countryside. If I don't have a job and refuse to go, the neighborhood committee will definitely not let me. It might even affect my family."
"Going to the countryside to build a community is a good thing. No one can escape it. It's such a glorious thing. If my brother didn't need me, I would have gone with him."
"But if she doesn't sign up, the neighborhood committee will come to your house. Your family will definitely be affected, and your job at the factory might even be affected."
"Time is a bit tight. If you really don't want her to go to the countryside, you can pay her a little more to buy a job. If one thousand doesn't work, try twelve hundred. Anyway, with more money, someone will definitely buy it."
When the people in front of her heard this, their voices became a little split:
"What do you mean by buying her a job? Our family doesn't have the money to buy her a job. We just paid off our debts, so how can we afford to buy her a job? Just go to the countryside honestly. If you don't want to go to the countryside, then find someone to marry."
"My mother-in-law had already told her to sign up for the rural program because the family didn't have the money to buy her a job. I didn't expect her to actually go against her will. She's really amazing."
"I'm going home now and telling my mother-in-law to teach her a lesson. If my little classmate talks to you about buying a job again, don't believe him. We don't have any money. Go home quickly."
Fang Zhiyi pretended to be reluctant at this time, and then suddenly realized and said to himself:
"So Jingjing was telling the truth when she said you weren't nice to her. No wonder she said you beat her all day and made her work. I thought she was just talking nonsense."
"What do you mean her mother won't let me? I think maybe it's you who won't let me. It turns out there really is a sister-in-law like this. Then I didn't do something wrong, did I? I thought it was fake, but it turned out to be true."
The sound of her mumbling to herself was quite loud, and even the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family heard it. She said angrily, "Nonsense! What do you mean I didn't allow it? It was obviously her mother who didn't allow it, and you're throwing dirty water on me. I really need a lesson."
After saying that, she went home angrily without saying anything to Fang Zhiyi. She really wanted to have a good talk. Usually, when her mother-in-law scolded her daughter, she would try to persuade her.
Now it seems that I deserved it. Besides, I am just a little bit petty and stingy at times, but I ended up being portrayed as a bad person.
I had originally thought of waiting until my mother-in-law knew about this matter and then trying to persuade her, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary. I should go back to the countryside early.
Their family couldn't live in peace at home, so it was better for them to leave. The room would be empty now, and they could use it to store some of their belongings.
Fang Zhiyi watched her leave angrily, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. If conditions allowed, she would definitely follow her to see the good show that their family had at noon today.
But after thinking about it, I decided not to do it. If I acted sneakily, I would easily be mistaken for a thief and sent to the police station.
Thinking about what would happen when Sun's eldest sister-in-law returned home, she couldn't help but feel happy. As for whether she would guess that it was her, Fang Zhiyi didn't care. She was even afraid that Sun Jingjing wouldn't guess it.
I have a good show waiting for her. If she can't guess what I am going to do, how can I go on? How can I persuade Chen Zhiren to go to the countryside with me?
Fang Zhiyi was happy today and went straight to the food station to buy some meat to make dumplings at home. How could he not eat better on such a good day?
Fang Zhiyi first found a place and took out a one-pound meat ticket from the space. After the meat ticket was ready, he took it to the grocery station.
It cost her 75 cents to order a pound of meat. Fang Zhiyi didn't feel bad about the money, but she felt bad about the meat ticket. Not counting the one she gave away, she still had five pounds and six ounces of meat tickets in her space.
It was really too little, not enough for several meals. In this era, she fully experienced the difficulties of food shortages.
After buying the meat, she also bought a large cabbage. It seemed that there were no other vegetables to buy except cabbage. Anyway, she didn’t see any leeks today.
Among the vegetables on the counter today, only cabbage is suitable for making dumplings, so this is the only one I can choose.
After buying it, he carried it home. After putting it down, he called his younger brother. If he carried such a big piece of meat around in the family compound, he would be the center of conversation tomorrow.
There will definitely be a lot of people who will come out and say bad things about me, saying that I have no conscience, am unfilial, and that I ate meat right after a family member passed away, and that I must be eating it with the pension money. There will definitely be some other sayings as well.
It turned out that Fang Zhilin was having a great time at Niu's house. Although he agreed to go back, his eyes were full of reluctance, so Fang Zhiyi had to let him play here first and go home for dinner later.
"Then why don't you bring Brother Xiaoshan to our house for dinner later? I'll make dumplings for you this afternoon."
When Fang Zhilin heard what his sister said, he nodded happily. Seeing that the child agreed, Fang Zhiyi returned home.
Making dumplings in those days was a laborious job, as the stuffing had to be minced. Unlike modern meat grinders, which are very convenient, back then it all depended on one's hands.
