"Brother, the children are all out. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Even if Qiao Changhai didn't mention it himself, Qiao Changgui would have said it. Instead of waiting for Qiao Changgui to make a long speech and play the family card, it would be better for Qiao Changhai to speak himself and take the initiative.
"Third brother, your temper is still as impatient as when you were a child."
Qiao Changgui touched his nose unnaturally and mentioned his childhood again. Just as he was about to see the mockery in Qiao Changhai's eyes, Qiao Changgui suddenly became ashamed and angry.
No matter how embarrassed and angry he is, he has a certain status now, but what is Qiao Changhai's status now? He is still a farmer, but Qiao Changhai is no longer the cripple who was looked down upon by others, but a level 6 worker in a state-owned factory.
They are brothers who were born of the same mother, but now their lives are so different.
When Qiao Changgui thought about the disabled couple Qiao Changhai and Bao Huihua, who were now eating government food, he became jealous to the point of going crazy.
"Third brother, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'll just get straight to the point. I want you to help me find a job for our Feilong."
Qiao Changhai nearly choked to death on a mouthful of tea and looked at Qiao Changgui in shock.
He arranges work?
How could he, an old worker who had just been hired as a regular employee a few months ago, arrange a job for his nephew?
"Brother, I am just a worker. No matter how you put it, I am still a worker, not a leader. How can I arrange a job for my child? If I had such great ability, could I have been a temporary worker for ten years?"
Qiao Changhai broke the matter down and explained it clearly to Qiao Changgui, the fool.
But Qiao Changgui came here with a purpose, so how could he be let go easily?
"You don't have any ability? You are very capable. Your wife can't even speak, but she has to go to work. Your nephew is a healthy young man, why can't he go to work in the factory?"
Qiao Changhai was anxious: "That was my wife's meritorious work, a work rewarded by the state."
Qiao Changgui nodded: "Yes, the job given by the state is a golden rice bowl, and no one can take it away. But third brother, you have never calculated the account. How many years can you hold this golden rice bowl?"
Qiao Changhai was stunned and said with a straight face: "Second brother, what do you mean by this?"
"Are you cursing me to death?"
Qiao Changgui waved his hand with a shrewd and wise expression.
"I remember that your sister-in-law is two years older than you. She must be 47, right? In two or three years, she will reach retirement age.
I heard that the corps is going to be disbanded, and Shen Xiao will be transferred to the capital soon. San Ya will definitely follow the army.
You two old guys can't just follow them. You are getting older day by day, and there must be someone who needs your care when you have a headache or a fever. ”
Qiao Changhai understood that this was aimed at his wife's job.
But this is understandable. He had already planned what to do with the old couple after they retire.
"Second brother, you don't need to tell me about this. I have already arranged it."
Qiao Changhai's heart settled down, and the tense expression on his face also relaxed.
"When Xiaohua and I retire, we will each choose one of your and my eldest brother's children to take over our jobs."
Qiao Changhai had a good idea. His eldest and second brothers had many children, so each of them could have a child to take over, which would also fulfill the brothers' years of friendship.
"What? Wait until you two retire? That would take years? No, I don't agree!"
Qiao Changgui slammed the table, furious.
"Third brother, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? My son will be 18 after the Chinese New Year. Once he has a formal job, he can find a partner and get married.
It will take another three or four years for your wife to retire, which will delay Feilong for several years. If you do this, you will lose your conscience. You are Feilong's uncle, how can you say that in such a flattering way? ”
"Qiao Changgui, as your second elder brother, I have never said anything to you since we were young, right? Since you two can't have children, I will give my daughter to you without hesitation."
"Your job should have been mine. You took my job. I'm not asking you to give it back to me. I'm just asking your wife to work two years less and retire earlier.
I've taken good care of you and given you a lot of face. How dare you be so shameless? ”
Qiao Changhai looked at his second brother in disbelief. He didn't expect him to be so shameless as to say so many shameless words.
"I took your job?"
Qiao Changhai laughed in anger: "Qiao Changgui, when did I take your job? You have never worked before, what job do you have for me to take over?"
Qiao Changgui raised his chin and shouted loudly and confidently: "You are taking my job now."
Qiao Changhai widened his eyes, thinking it was extremely ridiculous and at the same time thinking that his second brother was crazy.
"What are you laughing at?"
Qiao Changgui said coldly, "Is this job a reward given to you by the state?"
Qiao Changhai sneered and nodded. He wanted to see what nonsense Qiao Changgui could say.
"That's right! I caught the spy and got the reward from the country."
Qiao Changgui raised his head and laughed out loud, as if he had heard something funny.
"You want to catch a spy? You're a cripple, how can you catch a spy? Without Shen Xiao's cover, you two, one crippled and the other dumb, two cripples, can catch a spy?"
"Who is Shen Xiao? He is a battalion commander, a god of war who came back from the border, and his father is still a commander at home. He just dislikes you two old men, you are too unpresentable.
I set up this game on purpose to make it easier for you two old guys to deal with it.
Qiao Changhai, it’s such a simple thing, do you think anyone can’t see it? ”
Qiao Changgui thought he had seen through everything, but now he regrets it to death.
If he had coveted the two rooms in the third brother's house, he would not have adopted Qiao Baozhu to the third brother.
No matter who marries Chen Xiao, Qiao Baozhu or Qiao Xifeng, his family will always benefit.
He became a worker with a formal job and was allowed to enter the big courtyard in the city.
Well, this yard is not that big, not even as spacious as my own home.
But that doesn't matter.
Qiao Changhai listened to his second brother's shameless remarks and knew that the more he explained to this fool, the more excited he would become.
He lowered his head and remained silent, thinking about how to reject this matter before his daughter and son-in-law came home.
Seeing that Qiao Changhai was silent, Qiao Changgui thought he had hit the nail on the head.
He stood up triumphantly, opened the glass door of the cabinet, and took out a bottle of Moutai.
“Specially supplied Maotai, humph, this is what Shen Xiao sent over, right?
I gave birth to such a wonderful daughter, and I give her to you at a bargain price. I've taken this bottle of wine home. Don't tell San Ya, otherwise I won't make you lose face in front of my brother-in-law. ”
Qiao Changgui arrogantly believed that Shen Xiao really disliked the fact that his father-in-law was a disabled person. Qiao Changhai’s biggest weakness is that he doesn’t want to make a fool of himself in front of his son-in-law.
Just like he used to be, he always felt inferior to Zhao Haiyang. Even though Zhao Haiyang was just an educated youth, he inexplicably felt that he couldn't stand up straight.
"Don't feel wronged about the job transfer. Feilong is your nephew. He will take over the job and will be filial to both of you in the future."
After all, the job hasn't been secured yet, and Qiao Changgui still has to comfort his brother.
Qiao Changgui sneered in his heart. Qiao Feilong was such a loser that he couldn’t even support his own parents when they were old, so how could he take care of his uncle?
"Brother, it's not impossible to change jobs. You reminded me that Baozhu followed Shen Xiao to the south to join the army after the Chinese New Year. We can't rely on her in the future, so we have to leave a way out for ourselves."
Qiao Changhai slowly raised his head: "Nothing is more practical than having money. Work is tight right now, if you pay 800 yuan as compensation, I'll give you the job."
"What? Eight hundred dollars? Qiao Lame, are you dreaming?"
