Chapter 107: It’s Hard to Enter a Textile Factory

When Su He was a child, she saw some parents yelling at their children. She wondered if parents couldn't be gentler with their children? Couldn't they just talk to them nicely? Why did they have to yell?

Later, when I became a mother, I realized that sometimes you have to yell at children because they won’t listen even if you talk to them nicely.

She finally understood why women become irritable after becoming mothers. It was all because of their children that they were tortured.

Su He thought it was a good thing that her nanny helped her look after the child during the day, otherwise she would not be able to bear looking after the child every day. She had not just one child, but two, which was a double torture.

She has to thank her mother-in-law.

In the afternoon, Su He and Gu Jianhua took their two children to visit relatives. They first went to their second uncle Gu's house, and then to their second sister Gu's house.

Sister Gu and Team Leader Wang did not go.

In their era, married daughters only need to go back to their parents' home during the Chinese New Year. They don't need to visit so many families, and buying gifts is not cheap.

Of course, Su He's family is a different story. During the Chinese New Year, she not only goes back to her parents' home, but also goes to her second brother and his wife's home.

This year, the New Year's money given by Uncle Gu's family is the same as last year, still fifty cents. Sister Gu and Mother Gu said with a smile, "Mom, Aunt Gu has been very generous in the past two years."

The New Year's gift money was only 50 cents.

Mother Gu snorted, "She just wants to curry favor with me and make friends with me."

It's impossible to be on good terms with them, at best we can just get by on the surface.

The next day, the second day of the Chinese New Year.

After breakfast, Su He and Gu Jianhua took their two children to the county. Before leaving, Su He gave red envelopes of fifty yuan each to Gu's father and mother.

I originally wanted to give it to her on the first day of the new year, but she forgot.

She also prepared red envelopes for her parents, also fifty yuan each, but she couldn't give it in front of Gu Jianhua.

It's not that she was afraid that he would have an opinion, but the red envelope was paid from her own pocket money, which was the money she earned from selling pork on the black market.

Can't tell.

So when they got home, he secretly pulled her mother into the bedroom and said, "Mom, you and Dad take this money."

Su He took out ten big reunion tickets.

Su's mother was puzzled, "Why give money?"

Su He: "I am honoring you."

When a lady has money, she will definitely give it secretly to her parents.

Su's mother took it and looked at it, then stuffed it into her hand and said, "You are really generous. You gave her a hundred dollars at once. We don't want it if you take it back."

"You and Jianhua's combined monthly salary is more than 60 yuan. Give 100 to your parents-in-law and 100 to us. That's half a year's salary for both of you."

"Okay, Mom knows you are filial. Now your dad and I are not retired yet and can still make money. We don't need you to be filial to us. Wait until we are old and can't move, then you can be filial to us."

"Take it back quickly and quietly."

Su's mother patted Su He's hand and walked out of the bedroom.

The daughter thought that Su's mother was happy for the couple, but how much did her daughter and son-in-law earn a month? Besides, they were still young and had not retired yet, so why would they ask their child for money?

Su He had no choice but to put the money away. It was difficult to tell others about his side job, and he couldn't give the money away either.

At this time, Gu family.

Elder sister Gu and second sister Gu also came over and ate peanuts and melon seeds and chatted together.

Because Sister Gu and Team Leader Wang both worked in a textile factory, they talked about things about the textile factory, work problems, colleagues' family affairs and all kinds of gossip.

Suddenly, Sister Gu asked, "Is the textile factory still hiring?"

Third sister Gu was a little confused as to why her eldest sister asked this.

Team leader Wang ate melon seeds and shook his head, saying, "No more recruits. Now there is only one radish position in the factory. If it is full, even if a senior citizen retires, her family will take over."

Gu Erjie, "Sister, why are you asking this?"

Sister Gu sighed, "I just thought that if there was a vacancy, I could use some connections to get Aoki to work in the factory." She was talking about her eldest son.

Upon hearing this, Third Sister Gu immediately shook her head and said, "No, big sister. You haven't even graduated from Qingmu Elementary School. You're only in the second grade. Even junior high school and high school graduates may not be able to get into the textile factory now."

Sister Gu smiled and said, "You are the ones here. My third aunt and uncle work in a textile factory, so it might be okay to recommend them."

Team leader Wang laughed and said, "Big sister, you think too highly of us."

"We usually don't even get to see the factory manager and just stay at our own posts."

Third Sister Gu also laughed, "Third Sister, I haven't been promoted yet. He is just a small team leader, managing four or five people, and he doesn't have that much power."

Sister Gu, "I was just saying it on a whim."

Third sister Gu didn't think that her eldest sister was just impulsive. She probably had been thinking about it for a long time and said it out loud first to test their attitude.

However, it is really difficult to get into a textile factory. Not to mention people from the countryside, even people from the city don't have a job. There are so many junior high and high school graduates who don't have a job and stay at home.

Even if there are vacancies, they will get their turn first because their parents work in the factory.

Third sister Gu thought she had to tell her mother about this, and let her mother tell her eldest sister, so that her eldest sister wouldn't go crazy and tell her younger siblings.

After all, my sister-in-law's brother is the son-in-law of a textile factory.

After hearing what her younger daughter said, Gu's mother talked to older sister Gu about it. She was not so direct but said it in a more tactful way.

Sister Gu didn't think of telling Su He that if possible she would like to introduce her third sister, as there is still some difference between a biological sister and a brother's wife.

But I also thought that it was difficult to enter a textile factory.

In fact, if Sister Gu really mentioned it to Su He, Su He would not be afraid. Unless it was her own child, she would not trouble her brothers.

Just like Third Sister Gu, if Director Pei hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell others to let my Third Sister go to work in your factory.

She is not stupid. It would be fine if there were vacancies in the factory, but it would not be a big deal if there were no vacancies. She would treat her second brother like a sandwich and embarrass him.

She wouldn't do that.

She is not afraid that her refusal will make the other person feel uncomfortable. It is better for the other person to feel uncomfortable than for her to feel uncomfortable.

Because they were not from the same village, after dinner, the eldest sister Gu and her family went home. On the way, the third child Zhao Qingyu asked her mother,

"Mother, aren't your aunt and uncle willing to help?"

As for why Sister Gu thought of this, it was her youngest daughter who reminded her, saying that her third aunt and uncle-in-law both worked in a textile factory, so why not ask them to introduce her eldest brother to work in the textile factory.

Sister Gu and her brother-in-law had never thought about these things before.

It’s no wonder that Zhao Qingyu is so smart. Most kids would never think of these things.

Sister Gu glanced at her daughter and said, "Is it so easy to get into a textile factory? Your brother is only in the second grade."

Zhao Qingyu, "Mom, didn't you say that my aunt's brother is the son-in-law of the deputy factory director? As long as my aunt asks her brother, my brother can get in even if he has never been to school, let alone the second grade."

Hearing this, Sister Gu narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who taught you this?"

"Is it your grandma?"

Zhao Qingyu shook his head. "It's not something I thought of myself. It has always been like this!"

Sister Gu, "Okay, don't talk about this anymore. Study hard and try to get into college, so that you can make us proud."
