The smile on Old Lady Xu's face froze instantly. "I'm extinct, what's your business? You gave birth to so many children like a pig, so what? You still go to the fields every day, don't you?"
The eldest daughter-in-law wanted to fight back, but was slapped by Old Lady Liu who came over: "Get lost, you think you are a hero of the Liu family just because you gave birth to three sons.
I will have six more children?
Did I say anything? Was I proud?
The eldest brother’s wife was speechless.
She lowered her head, her fingers tangled in the hem of her clothes, looking very reserved and honest, completely different from her picky look just now.
Old Lady Liu looked at her dead look and was very upset: "Go and cook."
The eldest son's wife didn't dare to stay here for a moment, and she walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as the people left, Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Xu and asked, "What good news?"
When the topic was brought up, Mrs. Xu immediately put aside her previous unhappiness: "Jia Jia went to the machinery factory for an exam yesterday. She passed the exam and got an office job for 40 yuan a month."
Old Mrs. Liu was extremely envious. She used to think a large family meant a lot of fun, but now she realized that with a large family comes a lot of worries. "You really need to study more. This test is going to be accurate. Jia Jia will have to go to work this time, right?"
Old Mrs. Xu shook her head: "No, I'll give the job to Jianguo."
Old Lady Liu was puzzled: "You are not an ordinary employee, why don't you go?"
Mrs. Xu is very open-minded and never asks for reasons. She just supports people by saying, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why bother asking so many questions?"
After these two exams, I finally understand.
Jia Jia is good at taking exams but not happy to work.
However, we have jobs at home, so we don’t have to worry even if Jiajia is just a dependent at home.”
Old Lady Liu laughed: "Her husband is an officer, why does he need you to support him?"
Mrs. Xu thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right."
The news that Xu Jianguo was going to work quickly spread to every villager.
"What kind of good luck did this family have? They passed the exam just now, and now they pass it again.
In their eyes, work is like cabbage!"
"This time it's the machinery factory. I heard it's the largest state-owned factory in town, with thousands of employees, and the wages and benefits are better than those of other factories!"
"Their family is about to turn things around."
"Xu Jianguo was right not to remarry."
"Before, you said your daughter was too young and you didn't want to get married. Now that your daughter is married, you should get married, right?"
"Yes, he is not even forty yet, very young."
“…”
The captain sat on the threshold, took a puff of welding smoke, and blew out smoke rings lightly. "If you can pass the exam once, it's luck. If you can pass it twice, it's strength.
The daughter who built the country is amazing! "
The captain's wife brought a small stool and sat beside him, propping her chin with one hand and looking into the distance: "Most of Jiajia's high school classmates have parents who work. They know exactly which factories are hiring internally. For ordinary people like us, getting this information is harder than climbing to the sky!"
The captain sighed softly, "So what if I know? It's not that the children of employees have to graduate from high school. Without a single high school graduate in our family, we can't even reach the threshold!"
Thinking of this, the captain became furious. He stood up suddenly and yelled into the house: "Youngest, come out!"
Xu Yuanqing came out and saw that the captain was very angry. He looked confused and said, "Dad, who made you angry?"
The captain picked up a willow branch from the ground and hit Xu Yuanqing hard: "You little bastard, I told you to study hard, but you insisted on coming back to feed me. Now you can't even reach the door!
Good-for-nothing bastard, you'll just feed pigs your whole life!"
Xu Yuanqing was beaten so hard that he jumped up and down: "Dad, that's not what you said at the beginning!
You said that all the people from the city came to the countryside to work as educated youth. It seems that studying is of no use!
These are the original words, you won't forget them, right?"
The captain lashed him out with another willow branch: "You bastard, you dare to talk back? I'll beat you to death!"
Xu Yuanqing screamed, "Dad, are you still being reasonable?"
The captain's wife walked over and snatched the willow branch from his hand: "He doesn't like to study, it's useless to beat him to death."
A trace of sadness flashed across the captain's eyes: "With so many children in the family, how come none of them are good at studying? I used to have good grades!"
Xu Yuanqing laughed without giving any face: "Hahahaha... someone who always comes in last has the nerve to say that his grades are not bad. Dad, do you have any misunderstanding about this sentence?"
The captain raised his hand and slapped him: "How dare you talk like that, little brat?"
Xu Yuanqing rubbed the place where he was hit, with a look of grievance on his face: "I didn't say anything wrong, why did you hit me?"
The captain's wife: "..."
So naive!
Xu Yuanqing was beaten and was in a bad mood. He walked around the village.
As we walked, we arrived at the door of Xu's house.
Chen Ji saw a sneaky figure at the door. He walked out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
It was the first time Xu Yuanqing met Chen Ji and he didn't know him: "I'm looking for Xu Jiajia, is she home?"
Chen Ji turned around and shouted inside: "Sister, someone is looking for you."
Xu Jiajia came out and saw the person. She thought for a long time before she remembered who he was. "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Xu Yuanqing walked into the room, sat down on a bench, and looked at Xu Jiajia pitifully: "You are so powerful, how can we men live?"
Xu Jiajia was confused. "I'm awesome, what does that have to do with you? You have your life, and I'm busy with my life. There's no conflict at all, okay?"
Xu Yuanqing sighed lightly, his face full of worry: "You are so outstanding, all parents hope that their children can be like you.
