“Mother-in-law, going to work and earning a stable salary is not an easy thing.”
These all require urban residency, or special admissions based on exceptional circumstances.
In my situation, if I'm lucky, I can only get in as a temporary worker.
Therefore, the son-in-law had no such intention.
But don't worry, even without work, I will ensure that Su-lan and her daughter live a good life.
Yu Chengyuan did not say that being a worker was not the best way out in the future, because he could not explain it clearly, and his mother-in-law might not believe it.
In this day and age, it's still quite desirable for workers to have a stable wage.
Nowadays, many young women in rural areas are desperate to marry into the city and become city dwellers.
Because marrying a worker in the city would allow one to change their household registration and become a city dweller.
Having a city resident's household registration makes it much easier to get a job in a factory.
At worst, I can start as a temporary worker with lower pay, but there will always be a day when I can become a permanent employee.
Weng Hong thought her son-in-law was worried about the household registration issue, so she quickly said, "Are you worried about the household registration issue?"
Don't worry about that. Lao Liu and I know a lot of people, so getting a city household registration won't be difficult.
I'll have Lao Liu pull some strings and get you a job at the school.
You can work as a temporary worker for a while, and we'll help you out when the opportunity arises. Getting a permanent position is definitely not a problem.
Then you and Sulan and her daughter will be able to settle down in the city.
People in this era felt that being a city dweller with a job, especially a permanent position—the so-called "iron rice bowl"—was something to be very envious of.
His mother-in-law's idea was not wrong at the time; she said it for his and Su-lan's own good.
Yu Chengyuan was very grateful that his mother-in-law could take the initiative to talk to him about these things, which meant that she had already accepted him as her son-in-law.
He was thinking about how to answer his mother-in-law. He couldn't refuse her too directly, otherwise he would offend his elders and that wouldn't be good!
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mother-in-law, your suggestion is quite good."
However, it's impossible to achieve this all at once right now.
It takes time to do all this, so I might as well use this time to try doing some small business.
Just consider it a way to pass the time, and earning a little money is fine too.
What do you think?
After listening to her son-in-law's words, Weng Hong felt that they made a lot of sense, as these things cannot be accomplished in a day or two.
Good institutions like hospitals and schools have even more limited openings.
Changing your household registration not only takes time and finding people to help you, but also costs a lot of money.
Even if they have connections, they still need money; they can't expect people to do things for them for free.
Personal relationships are one thing, but you can't be ignorant of the rules, otherwise who will do things for you next time?
It seems this son-in-law is quite reasonable.
Anyway, he's free now, so he might as well try doing some small business and maybe even make a little money, which isn't a bad thing.
So he nodded, "Okay, then you can give it a try!"
Liu Jianguo remained silent. He could tell that the young man hadn't revealed his true thoughts and probably had his own opinions.
I'll ask her about it in more detail when I have time later, since my wife isn't here.
"Old Liu, why aren't you saying anything? You're usually the most talkative one, why are you suddenly mute?"
Let me tell you, don't be too rigid this time, and don't put on airs as if you're the principal.
This is your son-in-law, so it's not the same as his.
You need to pay attention to this."
Weng Hong spoke to her husband.
Liu Jianguo nodded with a smile, "I heard that, I'll definitely take it to heart, I'll definitely take it to heart."
I'll keep an eye out and ask around when I go to work tomorrow.
Anyway, whether he did it or not, his wife doesn't know.
Just agree on the surface to make her happy.
Weng Hong nodded in satisfaction after hearing her husband's words, "That's more like it!"
"Alright, you two men can chat for a bit!"
I'm going to cook.
Weng Hong's words were a way of inviting her son-in-law to stay for dinner.
However, he came out of the kitchen in less than two minutes.
"Xiaoyu, what do we do with the loach, eel, and that big red shrimp you brought over?"
The eels and loaches were so slippery I couldn't catch them, and those shrimp claws were really sharp.
I just got pinched.
After finishing her sentence, Weng Hong said to Lao Yu, "You should do it; I can't do it."
"Father-in-law, please treat Mother-in-law's wound first!"
I'll take care of those eels and crayfish...
Yu Chengyuan noticed that his mother-in-law's finger was bleeding from being pinched by a crayfish, and quickly said something.
Before he could finish speaking, his father-in-law rushed into their room and grabbed a first-aid kit.
While talking, she quickly treated the wound, saying, "How could you be so careless?"
What if I get tetanus?
Yu Chengyuan could tell that their relationship was really good.
Despite his father-in-law's scolding, his eyes showed concern.
"Father-in-law, this is all my fault. I didn't expect that my mother-in-law wouldn't know how to handle that thing."
He should have realized that they probably had never eaten this before.
There's a lot of this stuff in the countryside, but most people don't eat it. I don't know how to prepare it!
Some of them didn't taste good; they weren't even as tasty as fatty meat, and they used up too much oil.
It's better to stir-fry small shrimp with chili peppers, then chew them up and swallow them whole, shell and all.
At this time of year, crayfish are not popular, mainly because nobody knows how to prepare them.
"It's alright, Xiaoyu, it's just a small wound. My husband, Lao Liu, always makes a big deal out of small things."
Tell us how to cook those crayfish, and we'll have Lao Liu get them later.
