Chapter 305 Jiang Baojia is going to be laid off
The Chinese New Year came on the third day after Jiang Xinbai returned home. This year, the whole family had dinner at her parents-in-law's house. After dinner, Jiang Xinbai and his wife took their two children back to the courtyard.
"Mom and Dad, we're here." Jiang Xinbai shouted inside as soon as he walked into the yard.
"Have you finished eating? Would you like to eat something more?" Chen Cui'e was clearing the table. When she saw her daughter and son-in-law coming, she stopped and prepared to prepare more dishes.
"No, no, we are full."
"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma. I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea, longevity as great as the Southern Mountains, good health, and peace."
As soon as Yang Jiabao and Yang Jiadong entered the house, they greeted their grandparents directly.
"Okay, Grandpa and grandma will accept your blessings. Here, these are New Year's gifts for you. Keep them and don't give them to your mother." Chen Cui'e smiled and took out two red envelopes from the room.
Jiang Xinbai was not happy to hear this, and pouted: "Mom, you are still afraid that I will snatch their red envelopes, ask them if I accepted their red envelopes this year? They kept them for themselves, I didn't touch them."
Chen Cui'e smiled and patted her little daughter. "You, Jiabao and Jiadong are grown up now. You should leave some money for them and stop being too strict."
"Yes, yes, Mom, you don't like me, your little daughter, the most now, huh."
"You, you're still competing for favor with a child!"
After Yang Jiabao took the red treasure, he turned his attention to the three uncles who were watching with a smile on their faces. "Uncle, aunt, your nephew wishes you good health and great fortune next year."
When Wu Hehua heard the word "make a fortune", her eyes narrowed with smiles. She quickly took out two red envelopes from her bag and handed them over, saying with a smile, "Jiabao and Jiadong, tell your aunt again whether your brother Zhengnan can marry a wife next year?"
"Mom, why are you asking them this!" Jiang Zhengnan said helplessly.
Yang Jiabao rolled his eyes, looked at his cousin Zhengnan and said with a smile: "Aunt, I don't know about this, but judging from the appearance of cousin Zhengnan, he will definitely become rich."
"Haha, you can read faces, I'll give you good luck!" Wu Hehua was coaxed even happier, and she regretted not putting more money in the red envelope. This child speaks so sweetly!
Seeing his brother chatting and laughing with his aunt, Yang Jiadong quickly turned to his second uncle and aunt, smiled and bowed, saying, "I, the nephew, wish you a happy new year, good health, and great wealth in the new year!"
Sun Ju was also coaxed into smiling, and took out two red envelopes for them, saying with a smile: "Xiao Bai, these two people in your family are really sweet, and it makes people feel comfortable to hear them."
Jiang Xinbai looked at his two cheerful sons helplessly, "They are only good at talking. All right, go out and play! Didn't you say you wanted to buy some firecrackers? Go ahead! Be careful not to set your clothes on fire."
"Okay, Mom, we'll go back to Grandma's house later, and you and Dad can go back by yourselves too!"
"knew."
Jiang Baojia waited until the two children left before he asked Jiang Xinbai about his life in Shenzhen with a smile, "Xiaobai, Jinsheng, how is your life in Shenzhen? It's better than your hometown! Big cities must be different."
Yang Jinsheng peeled a handful of peanuts for his wife and handed them to her, then smiled and replied, "Second brother, this has both advantages and disadvantages. In terms of economy, Shenzhen is definitely better developed, but prices are also high! We couldn't get used to the food there at first, but now we've adapted to it."
"Well, to be honest, I can't stay in this factory any longer. I think a lot of workers will be laid off. If it doesn't work out, I'd like to go to Shenzhen to work. I just don't know how anyone would want me at my age."
Jiang Baojia said helplessly that he was already in his forties and was laid off at this time. He really had no place to find a job and he was worried!
When Jiang Xinbai heard about being laid off, he showed a worried look on his face, "Second brother, I won't let you be laid off, will I?"
Sun Ju glanced at her sister-in-law and said with a wry smile: "Although it's not stated explicitly, your second brother may be on the list of those who will be laid off. Since we have no background and no connections, we should be the first to be laid off!"
"Aju, what nonsense are you talking about? This is the decision of the factory leader. What does it have to do with background or connections? If you spread this out, people will think I'm dissatisfied with the factory leader!"
Jiang Baojia scolded his wife, saying that he had told her not to talk nonsense, but he just couldn't help it.
"I didn't say anything nonsense. We are both workshop directors, but how come Lao He next door is not on the list of laid-off workers, but you are? How are you inferior to Lao He? It's because Lao He gave gifts to the leaders of the factory, so I asked you to give something to the leaders, but you refused. Now you are at a disadvantage!"
Sun Ju felt regretful when she talked about this. If she had known earlier, she should not have listened to her husband and given the factory director a few bottles of good wine, she could have helped her husband.
Jiang Baojia frowned and lowered his voice and said, "No, that's not the case. The factory is sympathetic to Lao He's family difficulties. He has five children, his mother is paralyzed in bed, and his wife has to take medicine all year round. If he is laid off, will this family survive?"
"Then have you ever thought about how we will live if you lose your job?"
Sun Ju felt that her husband didn't care about their little family at all. The two sons were grown up, wouldn't it cost money to marry them? The house they shared only had two rooms. When the two sons got married, where would they live? Should they really go back to the countryside?
"What should we do? Zhengdong and Zhengxi have their own jobs and get paid. The worst that can happen is that we can go back to the countryside and grow some food for ourselves. Are you afraid of starving to death?"
"So you won't care about your two sons at all? From now on..."
"Okay, if you two want to quarrel during New Year's Day, just go home and quarrel. Why are you quarreling here with me?" Chen Cui'e interrupted Sun Ju impatiently.
"Mom~"
At this time, Wu Hehua spoke. She cracked melon seeds and smiled, "Baojia, don't be afraid if you really get laid off. At worst, you can come back to the village to help us look after the chicken farm. We have to recruit people anyway, so you can be more assured with your own family."
"Yes, second brother, as long as you can humble yourself and help us look after the chicken farm, I will pay you a salary that is no lower than what you get in the factory." Jiang Baoguo said with a wave of his hand generously.
Jiang Baojia smiled at his elder brother and his wife, and thanked them: "Brother and sister-in-law, I have received your kindness. I know you also want to help me, but I also have some ideas of my own..."
"What's your idea? Tell me!" Wu Hehua asked with a smile, thinking to herself, maybe he wants to run a chicken farm like them! If that's the case, don't blame her for turning hostile, because family members don't steal their own family members' friends.
Jiang Baojia smiled and said, "I went back to the village a few days ago and found that there was still one fish pond left in the village that no one had contracted, so I thought about contracting it to raise fish."
