Yun Aiguo had a serious expression on his face, as if the sky had fallen when Yun Yongcheng quit his job at the cement factory. He spoke to Yun Yongcheng in a tone full of blame.
"Grandpa, don't be angry."
Yun Aiguo's reactions were within Yun Mian's expectations.
Sanfu Cement Factory is a state-owned enterprise. People in the 1980s and 1990s regarded working in state-owned enterprises as a stable job. If a family had one person working in a state-owned enterprise, the faces of the whole family, young and old, would be extremely proud, and it would be much easier to find a wife or marry a daughter.
Dad smashed his iron rice bowl, it would be strange if grandpa wasn't angry. Fortunately, grandma didn't come to the market today. If grandma knew now that Dad smashed his iron rice bowl, with her impatient and hot-tempered personality, she would have pulled Dad's ears and changed the channel several times.
"Your father, this prodigal son, smashed his iron rice bowl. How can Grandpa not be angry?"
Even Yun Mian's coquettish and cute behavior was of no use. Yun Aiguo continued to glare at Yun Yongcheng who was sitting in the passenger seat with a sullen face.
Yun Yongcheng felt so embarrassed to be glared at by Yun Aiguo in front of the two children and Lu Feng. He said awkwardly, "Dad, please don't get angry first. Can you please listen to me for a few words?"
"What do you want to say?"
Yun Aiguo was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head.
"If your mother knew about this, she would beat you with the soles of her shoes."
Yunmian glanced at her father with deep sympathy, worried that he would get another slap on the back of his head from Grandpa. She quickly crawled over to Grandpa's side, hanging on his arm like a little sloth, and said softly, "Grandpa, it's not Dad who wants to resign, it's the cement factory that wants to fire Dad."
"Your father just said that he quit his job at the cement factory. So you should help him deceive Grandpa."
Yun Aiguo finally withdrew his gaze from the back of Yun Yongcheng's head, turned his head sideways, and looked at his little granddaughter beside him with a kind smile on his face.
Yunmian rubbed her rosy cheeks on her grandfather's arm and tried her best to act cute and coquettish to save her father.
"I love Grandpa the most. I won't help Dad lie to Grandpa. Everything I said is true. Grandpa, you can ask Chu Guoguo."
As Yun Mian spoke, she secretly freed up one of her little hands and reached out to the side to pull at the Third Master's clothes.
The third master lowered his head and glanced at her little hands that were as pink and white as crystal pig's trotters, then raised his head calmly, looked at Yun Aiguo and nodded seriously.
"It was indeed the director of the Sanfu Cement Factory who fired Uncle Yun. Grandpa Yun, Fen Dudu didn't lie to you."
"Yongcheng, what mistake did you make? Why did the factory manager fire you?"
Yun Aiguo finally believed it.
Yunmian pouted and said in a fake angry tone, "It's not Dad's fault..."
She puffed out her cheeks and told Yun Aiguo what happened in the supply and marketing cooperative that day.
"My dad is a hero who stands up when he sees injustice. He's a super hero. Grandpa, please don't blame me."
Although Yun Aiguo was heartbroken that Yun Yongcheng lost his iron rice bowl, he was a reasonable man who knew right from wrong. After learning the reason, he naturally stopped blaming Yun Yongcheng.
"If you lose your job, you're done. There's no future in working for a factory manager like that who can't tell right from wrong. He might even teach you bad things. The policies are good now, and every household has land. You can follow me and your mother and farm. Farming can also help you find a future. As for that girl from Old Wang's family, ah!"
Yun Aiguo sighed as he spoke: "If she wants to break off the engagement with you because you lost your job, then so be it. A forced marriage is not sweet. You can't force a marriage."
