Chapter 111 No Need to Go to the Countryside
Yang Xiufen nodded repeatedly, "Mom, call Xiumin out quickly, I found a job for her."
Without being called, Yang Xiumin ran out as soon as she heard the noise, grabbed Yang Xiufen's hand and asked, "Sister, are you telling the truth? I have a job? I don't have to go to the countryside anymore?"
Yang Xiufen nodded happily, "Yes, you don't have to go to the countryside, I'll just take you to handle the formalities."
"Wait, Xiufen, what kind of job is that? How much does it cost? Mom will give it to you."
"Mom, don't worry about the money. Let me talk to you about work first. This is what a colleague of mine said. He's in charge of serving food in the canteen of the cannery. He's a bit tired."
"I'm not afraid of being tired, sister. Thank you for still thinking of me." Yang Xiumin looked at Yang Xiufen with tears in her eyes.
"Hey, Xiumin, you've grown up. Work hard. I've asked around, and this job pays 25 yuan a month, with some hidden benefits. You won't lose out." Yang Xiufen reached out and touched her younger sister's head, thinking that she had finally caught up.
"Yeah, I will definitely work hard," Yang Xiumin sniffed, but she didn't forget to ask about the money for the job, "Big sister, how much did this job cost? Mom gave it to you, and then deducted it from my salary every month."
When mentioning this, Yang Xiufen looked at her mother carefully and said hesitantly: "It is a bit expensive. As you know, it is difficult to find a job nowadays..."
Sun Erni waved her hand to interrupt her, "Just tell me how much it is. Can mom not spend the money? It's great as long as Xiumin can stay in the city. Your dad can still get a salary every month, and we have some savings."
"Twelve thousand," Yang Xiufen said after gritting her teeth, and quickly added, "Mom, I'll pay half of it."
Sun Erni and Yang Xiumin were both shocked by the number. They had thought it would be seven or eight hundred, and the most expensive would be nine hundred. But they didn't expect it to be twelve hundred. They were speechless for a while.
"Mom, there's nothing I can do. If Xiumin doesn't have a job, she will have to go to the countryside soon. After I knew about this job, I didn't even dare to bargain for the price and just agreed to it directly..." Yang Xiufen naturally knew that the price was at least half too high, but what else could she do? The other party insisted that you needed this job, and she didn't dare to delay, for fear that it would be bought by someone else if she wasn't paying attention.
Sun Erni calmed down and sighed, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly want your money? I still have some here. I'll give it to you right away."
After Su Erni finished speaking, she went back to her room to get the money. Yang Xiumin looked at her elder sister with some concern and asked, "Eldest sister, my work has cost me so much money. I'm afraid my brothers will have objections. How about we keep it a secret? Just say six hundred, how about that?"
After all, it cost twelve hundred, not one hundred and twenty. If my sisters-in-law knew about this, they would definitely have some thoughts.
Yang Xiufen shook her head. "It's impossible to hide it. Even if we don't tell them, they will tell them sooner or later. You don't care what they think. You are your parents' daughter, and it's only natural for them to spend money on you. Besides, didn't you also say that you would give a portion of your salary to mom every month, as if you were paying for your job?"
At this time, Sun Erni came out and handed Yang Xiufen a stack of money. Then she looked at her little daughter and said, "Your elder sister is right. There is nothing to hide. You pay me ten yuan every month, which is one hundred and twenty yuan a year. It will be enough to pay six or seven hundred yuan."
"Let's go on the 15th. I still have to eat at home. I can't use up all your coffin money, mom!" Yang Xiumin said with a smile. Knowing that she didn't have to go to the countryside, she felt relaxed and was in the mood to joke.
Seeing her smile, Sun Erni felt relieved and said with a smile: "How much can you eat? As a girl, you should keep some money on you. You can save the rest for yourself."
Then he looked at his eldest daughter and asked, "Xiu Fen, did you say when to go to handle the formalities? We have to go early. After we're done, we have to tell the street office. Otherwise, we'll still have to urge Xiu Min to go to the countryside."
Yang Xiufen nodded, "Yes, I think so too. How about we go now? If we give them the money, they will definitely cooperate with the formalities immediately."
Upon hearing this, Sun Erni immediately ran back to her room and took out her household registration booklet, handed it to Yang Xiufen and said, "Let's go now. We can feel more at ease if we can get it done sooner."
"Okay, then Xiumin will go with Big Sister."
"Yeah." Yang Xiumin nodded heavily.
…
The next day, Li Guiying obviously noticed that Sun Erni was in a much better mood. She touched Sun Erni's hand with some curiosity and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Is Xiumin's problem solved?"
Sun Erni's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy, and she also replied in a low voice: "That's right, Xiufen took me to handle the procedures yesterday, and I went to work today. I don't have to worry about going to the countryside anymore."
"Really? That's great. Which factory is it?" Li Guiying was a little envious. Her niece was not as lucky as Xiumin. Her whole family could help her. She had given up the idea of staying in the city early on. After all, there were many children in the family and it would not be appropriate to keep any of them.
"In the canning factory, serving food in the cafeteria." Anyway, it has been decided now, so Sun Erni no longer hides it.
"It's pretty good. The cafeteria has plenty of oil and good benefits. It must have cost a lot of money, right?" It's so hard to find a job now, and Yang Xiumin is so anxious to get one, so she must have spent a lot of money.
"Well, we spent twelve thousand dollars. This time, we really spent all our savings. There is no other way. As parents, we can't just watch our children go to the countryside!"
Sun Erni also felt sorry for the twelve hundred yuan, but what else could she do? Now the couple only had two hundred yuan left. Fortunately, her husband still had an income every month, plus the ten yuan Xiumin handed in every month, so she felt a little more at ease.
"Wow, twelve hundred, Erni, you are really generous." This number really shocked Li Guiying. To be honest, if it were her, she might not be willing to spend so much money on her daughter.
"I feel bad too, but..."
"What are you talking about? It's so lively." At this time, Xu Baoju came over with a basin of clothes, put it on the sink, and looked at Sun Erni with a smile, "Ernyi, your Xiumin will go to the countryside in a few days, right? Have you prepared everything? Just ask if you need anything. We are all neighbors, we can all contribute. We can't let the child go to the countryside empty-handed."
Sun Erni started rolling her eyes the moment she opened her mouth, and was even more speechless after hearing what she said, "Why? Are you going to give me something for free if I need it?"
"That won't do. It's a loan and you have to pay it back, or you have to pay for it." Xu Baoju explained immediately. How dare she give it to him for free? No way.
However, she thought of her nephew from her mother's side, so she cleared her throat again and said with a smile: "But I have an idea to save Xiumin from going to the countryside. You have all met my nephew from my mother's side, right? He has a job. As long as Xiumin marries him, she won't have to go to the countryside, right?"
