The Qin family members were somewhat frightened by what had happened today and didn't dare to speak for a moment.
Lu Jianjun glanced around and pointed to the eldest grandson of the Qin family. He remembered this child. Although he wasn't particularly outstanding, he was a good person and did his job well. He was one of the few people among the younger generation of the Qin family that Lu Jianjun had a good impression of.
The job he's currently doing was arranged by Lu Jianjun.
"Qin Lang, you speak."
Qin Lang was called out. He looked at his family and, thinking of his younger sister who had been squeezed out, felt angry. So he said, "No... it's not that. The reason everyone is here today is because of Grandpa and Grandma. They want you to find a reliable job for Uncle. The neighborhood committee came to our house again before the New Year to urge us. They said Uncle has been fired and has no job anyway, so it would be better for him to go to the countryside. There are so many people in our family, and it's not good for only my younger sister to go to the countryside."
As soon as Qin Lang finished speaking, he was met with a cold look from his parents.
"Qin Lang, you don't need to say anything more."
Who is Lu Jianjun? At his level, he certainly has a keen sense of perception, so he quickly grasped the key point in Qin Lang's words.
"He was fired? He had found a job before?"
He knew Qin Xiaojiu very well. He was already in his mid-twenties. Qin Xiaojiu had once asked him to arrange a job for him. At first, he thought that Qin Xiaojiu was still young and that it might be better for him to gain some experience. Besides, Qin Xiaojiu was his wife's younger brother and the apple of his parents-in-law's eye, so he helped take care of him.
I assigned him work twice, and he messed it up both times.
When I asked him to arrange work again later, he ignored me.
With his character, how could he possibly find a job?
Even if the Qin family were to pay for it, the factory might not agree to accept it if they knew it was them.
"Isn't your little sister Qin Yue? She was doing a good job, why did she go to the countryside?"
The Qin family's eldest branch is generally quite good. Qin Yue is Qin Lang's younger sister. According to Lu Jianjun, that girl is even more capable than Qin Lang, with a straightforward personality, and is more like her mother.
However, the Qin family elders favored sons over daughters and were not kind to this little girl.
The Down to the Countryside Movement had been going on for several years, and Lu Jianjun remembered it well. So as soon as the girl graduated, Lu Jianjun arranged a good job for her. She worked there for more than a year and I heard she did very well.
Qin Lang told the truth, "My younger sister is not included in the rural assignment, but my uncle is. The neighborhood committee has urged us several times, saying that our family has a lot of children and some of them must go. My uncle has been unemployed and is the best candidate. They told us to make our own arrangements, which is already giving them face. If we continue to delay, they will make the arrangements directly and not give us any choice."
"My grandparents couldn't bear to see my uncle suffer in the countryside, so they tried to find him a job through connections, but they were unsuccessful. Then they tried to buy him a job, but at that time jobs were hard to find and expensive. We couldn't find one. We finally found two factories that offered high prices, but when the factories heard that the job was for my uncle, they refused to take it."
"Later, there was no other way, so my grandparents signed my younger sister up to go to the countryside and gave her job to my uncle. At that time, you were in a meeting in the north and we couldn't contact you. My aunt stepped in to plead on your behalf, and the factory finally agreed. We only found out about the rural assignment notice after it was issued. My younger sister had no choice but to go to the countryside."
Lu Jianjun looked at his parents-in-law. These two old folks were really going too far. Qin Yue was such a good girl, and she did a great job at her job, yet they sent her to the countryside.
However, at this point, Lu Jianjun knew that further discussion was pointless. The two elders were so old that it was impossible to change their mindset at this time.
Seeing Lu Jianjun looking over, the two elders were a little embarrassed. Qin's mother, with a long face, said, "That girl is no good at all. What would a girl like her need to work? Her uncle is getting old. He can only find a good partner if he stays in the city. What can he do in the countryside? He doesn't know how to farm!"
"It was just for a job. We're all family, and she actually demanded over three hundred yuan from me. She wouldn't hand it over unless I gave it to her. When she came back before the New Year, she stole several kilograms of meat and over twenty kilograms of grain from my house while I wasn't looking. That was all I had prepared for the New Year. That brat is incredibly audacious. She's an ungrateful wretch. She even stole and sold the new bicycle I bought for her uncle. If she hadn't run away so fast, I would have broken her legs."
Lu Jianjun: "..."
Finally, I heard some good news.
He looked at Qin Lang, "Did your sister really do that?"
Qin Lang pursed his lips and nodded. "Yes, the place she went to for work in the countryside wasn't far. She didn't have anything to do before the New Year, so she came back to visit her family. There were some New Year's goods that the family had prepared, and she took all the meat and twenty catties of fine grains. Grandma had been saving them for a long time to give as gifts to Uncle for matchmaking. The bicycle was because Uncle had a job, and Grandma was worried about going to the countryside. She thought it would be safer if he got married, so she bought him a bicycle to make him look presentable. With a job and a bicycle, it would be easier for him to go on blind dates. But my younger sister took the bicycle."
Qin Lang's mother stood beside him, looking up at the sky. Her daughter hadn't sold the bicycle; she had ridden it straight back to the countryside.
They took meat, twenty catties of grain, and a cotton quilt that she had prepared for them. The place they were going to wasn't far away, so there were no trains. With so much luggage, a bicycle was the most convenient option!
Upon hearing that he had been secretly enrolled and only found out after the official document was issued, Lu Jianjun couldn't help but think of Meng Fuyan, who had suffered the same fate, and felt even more annoyed.
He glanced at the Qin family members, but didn't say much. He simply said, "I have things to do at home, so you should go back first."
He looked at Qin Xiaojiu and warned, "I'm warning you, don't even think about hitting on Yanyan, or I'll make sure you can't find a job in Changning City for the rest of your life, and I'll send you to the countryside right now so you can never come back."
