Chapter 26 Don't worry, there is a job at a state-owned restaurant.
Jiang Xinlan's family did have two one-foot cloth coupons, but it was not enough!
"Do you really need cloth coupons or sugar coupons? Can I pay more? Five hundred and sixty?" Jiang Xinbai gritted her teeth and added another ten yuan. Jinsheng only issued sixteen feet of cloth coupons every year, and sugar coupons were only two pounds and four ounces a year. This year's cloth coupons were used up when they got married. As for the sugar coupons, she still owed her sister-in-law from her husband's family a candy coupon.
Shen Chuxia shook her head, “I will give priority to those who have cloth coupons or sugar coupons.”
Sun Chaoying, who was sitting next to him, was also a little embarrassed. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Look at what happened. I didn't explain it clearly before. So, Xinbai, why don't you go back and discuss it first? Anyway, Chuxia still has a month before leaving, so you can think about it again."
Shen Chuxia smiled and nodded for Sun Chaoying’s sake, “Yes, you go back and discuss it first, I’ll give you five days, and promise not to agree to anyone else during these days.”
Jiang Xinlan pulled her sister's hand and said, "Xiaobai, let's go back first and think of a solution when we get back."
Jiang Xinbai forced a smile, "Then Sister Xia, we will go back first."
"Yes, but you have to be quick."
Outside the door, Sun Chaoying looked at Jiang Xinbai with pity and consoled him, "Xinbai, don't be too anxious. Didn't Chuxia say that she would give you five days? Go back and meet your relatives as soon as possible."
"Hey, sorry to bother you, Sister Ying. You go ahead and do your work. We'll go back first." Jiang Xinbai waved his hand and watched Sun Chaoying walk towards the state-owned restaurant.
But she turned around and said to Jiang Xinlan in a crying voice: "Second sister, it looks like there's no hope. The money is easy to talk about, but the tickets are really hard to get. Hey, what if I hadn't made new clothes in the first place?"
Thinking of this, I felt a little regretful. If I had known earlier, I should not have made new clothes for the wedding and kept the ticket.
Jiang Xinlan patted her sister's hand and said, "Who knows what will happen next? Okay, I still have two cloth coupons worth one foot. I'll give them to you first. For the rest, you can find someone to think of a solution. I'll also ask my mother-in-law for help."
"No, second sister, don't ask your mother-in-law. What if she has a problem with you? I'll let Jinsheng think of a solution." Although Jiang Xinbai was anxious, he didn't want his second sister to talk to her mother-in-law.
Jiang Xinlan came up with a solution, "Xiao Bai, how about this? I'll ask your brother-in-law to ask his colleagues to see if anyone has cloth coupons. Those who are not in a hurry can give them to us first, or we can exchange them with something else. There will always be someone willing to do so."
"Yes, that's right. I'll ask Jinsheng as well. Come on, let's go back first." Thinking of this, Jiang Xinbai's mind became active again. She took her sister's hand and hurried home.
"Mom, I have something to do... Hey, sister-in-law is so happy today, did something good happen?" Jiang Xinbai saw Li Huifen smiling as soon as he entered the room. This was rare, after all, she usually had a stern face.
Li Huifen put away the paper in her hand and smiled unnaturally, "No, nothing good, sister-in-law, don't you want to see mom? You guys chat, you guys chat, I'm going back to my room."
He stood up and ran to his room. Oh my god, I was almost exposed, but why should I be afraid? This is a job I paid for. Yes, I shouldn't be afraid.
Sun Erni's eyes were a little complicated. She pursed her lips and looked at her daughter-in-law, "Xinbai, did you call me for something just now?"
"Oh, oh, mom, I, it's nothing. I forgot about it when my sister-in-law interrupted me just now. Forget it, I'll tell you when I remember it."
Jiang Xinbai thought of Li Huifen's look just now, and thought that she had already bought the temporary worker's job. That would be easy. Just wait and see how she handles it at night. After all, the big show can only be performed when there are more people around.
In the evening, the entire Yang family was eating around the table. Everyone had their own thoughts in mind, and the meal was exceptionally quiet.
When they were almost done eating, Yang Jinsheng received a hint from his wife's eyes, cleared his throat twice, and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to go to the textile factory to find a job for Xiaobai tomorrow. This will give our little family an extra income in the future."
"..." Sun Erni paused with her hand holding the chopsticks. Looking at her younger son with a happy face, she didn't know how to start. She could only glare at her eldest daughter-in-law fiercely. Looking at what she had done, she was really a troublemaker.
Yang Jinqiang also knew that hiding was not a solution, so he leaned over to his father and said, "Well, Third Brother, I have something to tell you. Today, when I went to ask your sister-in-law for information, I happened to meet the person who was selling temporary jobs you mentioned. She had already negotiated with someone else, but for some reason, the two of them suddenly quarreled and then it fell through.
I thought, isn't this a good opportunity? So I hurried forward to ask. Hey, as soon as I asked, I thought it was a coincidence. It was the one you mentioned. I wanted to go to the meat processing factory to find you, but they wouldn't wait and insisted on booking it right away. I really had no choice, so I paid the money and took your sister-in-law to hand over the work. You see, this matter has caused a lot of trouble. It's my brother who is sorry for you."
"What? Brother, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly just now." Yang Jinsheng looked at Yang Jinqiang in disbelief.
"My brother said that the job in the textile factory canteen is now my sister-in-law's, so you don't have to worry about it." Yang Jinwei concluded succinctly.
Sun Erni patted Yang Jinwei and said, "If you don't know how to talk, just keep quiet and don't add fuel to the fire."
At this time, Jiang Xinbai seemed to have just understood, and said aggrievedly: "I lost my job? What should I do? This is what Jinsheng found out with great difficulty. Brother and sister-in-law, how can you do this to me? You all bully me, thinking that I am a country boy and easy to bully, right? Woo woo~"
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, don't cry, it's okay, I'm here," Although Yang Jinsheng knew that his wife was crying fake tears, he felt very distressed when he saw her tears coming out one by one.
"Yes, Xinbai, it was your elder brother and his wife who did something unkind. Mom will tell them. Don't be sad." Sun Erni could only comfort him dryly.
Li Huifen shrank her neck and didn't dare to say anything, but she was very dissatisfied in her heart. She thought, how could they be so unfair? It was first come first served. They spent money first, so it should be hers.
Yang Jinsheng looked at his eldest brother fiercely and said angrily, "Brother, you have to give me an explanation for this matter. This is not the way to do things. Even neighbors would not do such a thing. You are still my eldest brother and sister-in-law."
Yang Jinqiang had previously told Li Huifen that he was not afraid of the third child making trouble, but now he feels a little nervous.
"Third brother, we didn't do this on purpose. It was just a coincidence. If it wasn't for us, the job would have been taken by someone else, and you would still have no chance, so..."
"I don't care. Mom and Dad, look, my brother and his wife are going too far. You have to make the decision for Xiaobai and me!"
Sun Erni and Yang Fugui were also in a dilemma. This matter could not be explained clearly in the first place. No matter whether what the boss said was true or false, now that the matter had been settled, there was nothing they could do.
So she was about to open her mouth to persuade him, but before she could say anything, Yang Jinqiang suddenly had an idea and said, "Jinsheng, don't be angry first. Isn't there still a job at the state-owned restaurant?"
