Chapter 86 Job Opportunities, Old White Flower's Calculations
Fang Rou has been to Luo Cheng's house several times, and the Luo family has become familiar with her.
As soon as she entered, she saw Luo Qiang, the youngest son of the Luo family, walking out.
When he saw Fang Rou, his eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands embarrassedly. He said hello before leaving. He walked a long way and kept looking back at her every few steps.
Fang Rou pretended not to see anything and lifted the curtain to go into the room.
On the kang, Widow Luo was spinning with her two granddaughters, and the little grandson was doing somersaults on the edge of the kang.
Seeing that it was her who came in, Widow Luo greeted her with a smile.
"Fang Zhiqing is here. Come on, sit on the kang. Feng, go get some water."
Fang Rou waved her hands quickly: "Auntie, don't bother me, I'm not thirsty."
Ding Xiaofeng also smiled and gave in, but her butt was stuck on the kang, not moving at all.
Luo Dabao stopped doing his somersaults and sat down next to Ding Xiaofeng. The mother and son stared at the bag that Fang Rou brought with burning eyes.
Fang Rou's eyelids twitched. Even though she already knew the character of this family after spending some time with them, she still couldn't accept it. The way they ate was just so ugly.
Widow Luo watched with a smile, tacitly approving the actions of her daughter-in-law and grandson.
She didn't know why this educated youth Fang kept coming to their house, bringing them food and drinks. He even made her a single piece of clothing to thank her for taking her in in the beginning.
This favor is both heavy and strange.
But if you can get a good deal, you'd be a fool not to take advantage of it. She accepted it happily, saying thank you but feeling dissatisfied in her heart.
After that, whenever Fang Rou gave her something, she would happily accept it and not worry that she was greedy for anything.
However, his youngest son seemed to have taken a liking to Fang Zhiqing.
Although Fang Zhiqing is very coquettish and dresses in a seductive way, she is rich after all and her family is from the capital, so she is a good match for Luo Qiang and it's okay for them to be together.
But she won't take the initiative. A little girl like her comes down with pride, so she has to be kept at a distance and wait for her spine to bend on its own before she can be disciplined.
She didn't want to marry a grandmother to her youngest son.
Under the increasingly heated gazes of the mother and son opposite her, Fang Rou took out the things in her bag.
The mother and son were not disappointed; it turned out to be a bag of biscuits.
Unlike the broken biscuits they bought from the commune supply and marketing cooperative, these were complete biscuits, not defective products.
As soon as he opened it, Luo Dabao reached out and took two pieces, stuffed them into his mouth, and with one bite, the biscuit crumbs flew everywhere.
Ding Xiaofeng pretended to be angry and slapped his arm: "Why are you in such a hurry? Your aunt Fang specially brought it to you to eat. It's all yours. Why are you trying to take it? How rude!"
The force was neither painful nor itchy, but Luo Dabao did not hold back at all. He touched two more pieces and ran to the head of the kang to continue playing.
Like his mom said, these are all his and he can eat them slowly.
The two girls twisting the thread on the side watched, licked their lips, and did not dare to speak.
Widow Luo smiled at Fang Rou sheepishly: "Fang Zhiqing, I'm sorry, you are a country boy, you haven't eaten anything good, luckily you are his aunt who loves him and brought him so many delicious foods.
My Dabao said last time that the candy Aunt Fang bought for him was delicious, but it was a pity that he finished it. "
Fang Rou was really speechless about this family. She faked a smile and said, "It's hard to buy milk candy. I'll take a look when I go to the county one day."
Widow Luo smiled with satisfaction: "Dabao, why don't you thank Aunt Fang!"
Luo Dabao looked up when he heard this: "Thank you, Aunt Fang."
The unfinished biscuit crumbs in her mouth sprayed all over the kang, and Fang Rou dodged behind her imperceptibly.
When she looked at the table again, the biscuit she had just opened was gone.
She couldn't help laughing.
Anyway, she just came here to make herself familiar. After all, Luo Cheng was very filial to his mother, and he also respected his elder brother and sister-in-law who took care of her at home.
If she wanted to marry into the family without any risk, she had to establish a good relationship with them first.
Everything is for Brother Cheng!
After clearing her mind, she smiled and said to Widow Luo: "Auntie, didn't you ask me to find out if there are any vacant jobs in the county? I found one."
Widow Luo was surprised and said, "You really found out! Fang Zhiqing, you have helped me a lot. When your brother Xiaoqiang gets his salary, let him treat you to a meal!"
Fang Rou: What the hell is this, Brother Xiaoqiang!
"Haha, you're too polite, it all depends on whether Comrade Luo Qiang can make it to the interview."
Widow Luo looked at Fang Rou tenderly with her slightly cloudy eyes, which gave her goosebumps.
"How could I miss the job arranged by Fang Zhiqing? What kind of job is it? Is it also in the commune?"
Fang Rou: "It's a job at the county farm, next to the commune."
Widow Luo hesitated for a moment: "That place? That's a bit far."
Fang Rou laughed: "Auntie, it's not easy to find a job opportunity. I was only told this because of my uncle in the city."
Widow Luo heard her tone turn cold, so she smiled and said, "I'm not complaining, I just think it's inconvenient for Luo Qiang to pick you up from get off work, right?"
It’s not easy to get a bicycle!
Fang Rou's face turned completely cold: "Auntie, I was looking for a job for Comrade Luo Qiang because I heard from you that he was so old and didn't have a job, and it was hard to get married. You were very worried, so I thought of asking around for him. I did it for your sake, and it has nothing to do with Comrade Luo Qiang!"
After saying that, he stood up and was about to get off the kang and leave.
How could Widow Luo dare to let her go? Her son's job was not yet decided!
"Aiya, Fang Zhiqing, look at me. I can't speak anymore because of my age. Don't be angry. I'm the one who's not good at talking. I want to thank you. Thank you for finding a good job for my son for my sake."
Fang Rou had not yet achieved her purpose of coming here, so naturally she did not want to leave.
She sat down again with a cold face: "Auntie, please be careful. If you talk nonsense again, I won't dare to come."
Widow Luo smiled kindly and spoke softly, "I see. Auntie, stop talking nonsense. Tell me more about this job."
Fang Rou explained the situation again. Although it was a temporary position, it was very popular. She put in a lot of good stuff to get it, and asked Luo Qiang to report for the job soon.
Widow Luo was a little hesitant: "Going recently? In the middle of winter?"
Fang Rou looked at her calmly: "Auntie, job opportunities don't wait for anyone."
Widow Luo nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, there are not many jobs now, so I'll ask Xiaoqiang to pack up and go the day after tomorrow."
Fang Rou nodded: "Don't worry, Auntie, he can stay at the farm and he doesn't have to run back and forth."
Widow Luo was relieved: "That's great, it's much more convenient this way!"
Ding Xiaofeng sat aside without saying a word, but curled her lips. What a damn old woman! She had such a good job opportunity but gave it to her younger son instead of her eldest son. She is so biased!
Just wait and see. When you are old, I will not let Luo Qing take care of you. You should live with your youngest son.
As for Luo Cheng, the Luo family usually doesn't think of him, except when they send money every month.
After talking about work, the three of them started chatting, and Fang Rou turned the conversation to the Luo family's second son who was serving in the army.
I said that I regretted not serving in the army and wanted to ask about military service.
The people in Liujiawan only knew that Fang Rou came from the capital, and did not know her specific background. In this era, everyone had a dream of becoming a soldier, so this reason was not surprising.
Widow Luo was very conflicted about her second son.
On the one hand, Luo Cheng was her most promising son and had brought her a lot of face, so she naturally felt happy.
On the other hand, this son was raised in his grandmother-in-law's house since he was a child, and he looked like her. This made her, who had been tortured by her for many years, dislike him very much, and even hated him at one point. Even after her grandmother-in-law died, Luo Cheng was still raised by her, but she still felt uncomfortable. She was mostly superficial in her care for him and was not as caring as her eldest and youngest sons.
So, every time someone praised her for giving birth to a good son, she felt very uncomfortable.
But when she needed her son to support her, she used him very skillfully.
She would talk about her son with a loving face, like a real mother.
Fang Rou didn't know all this yet. She listened to Widow Luo bragging about her son's glorious deeds. Even though some of the stories sounded like fabrications, she was still fascinated by them.
How could she not fall in love with such a capable and good man?
Widow Luo was very satisfied seeing that she was listening with great concentration. While she was talking non-stop, she began to think in her heart, what should she ask Fang Zhiqing to bring next time?
