However, this is ultimately just an idea.
Zhang Qingguo knew in his heart that this was impossible.
As girls get older, there will be many people who make sarcastic remarks and laugh at them, speaking to them in a sarcastic and mocking manner.
If Ai'ai doesn't get married, people in the village will probably gossip about her and her family behind their backs.
No one can stand that.
However, I still felt uneasy.
"What do you want them to help you with?" Zhang Shengtian was still thinking about what Zhang Aiai had just said and didn't hear the conversation between the brother and sister. He just frowned and asked.
Could it be that the youngest daughter has encountered some difficulties? Otherwise, why would she ask for help?
This was all Zhang Shengtian could think of.
It seems the daughter still wants to keep it from him.
Zhang Shengtian didn't see that when he asked that question, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in Fang Yaoqing's eyes, and then quickly disappeared.
"It's like this, sir, Yaoqing wants to go out and find a job, but he doesn't know what kind to look for."
“As you know, he has never been out before. I didn’t know what I could do, so I asked my two older brothers for advice.”
"Is that all?" Zhang Shengtian asked again, still not entirely convinced.
Zhang Aiai's heart skipped a beat. What was wrong? Did he not want to?
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, yes, that's it."
Before Zhang Shengtian could speak, his expression relaxed.
Zhang Qingguo interrupted, "That's easy. As long as you go out, you can always find a job."
"Yaoqing, go now. You can work as a waiter, carrying plates in a restaurant. That would be pretty good," Zhang Qingguo said after thinking it over carefully.
The employees at his sister-in-law's shop all earn more than him, and serving dishes doesn't require any special skills; anyone can do it if they're hardworking.
Fang Yaoqing is such a fine young man, he will definitely be able to do a good job.
Zhang Qingguo genuinely cared for Zhang Aiai and her husband, but the two of them...
I didn't feel happy at all.
Serving dishes? Isn't that just being a servant? And being bossed around like that, what kind of "good" is that?
The two men's gazes changed, and they looked at Zhang Qingguo with a hint of hostility.
Zhang Aiai was more heartbroken than anything else, never expecting her brother to say such a thing, telling them to go and serve others.
They are the most glorious proletariat, how could they do servant work?
Fang Yaoqing felt more ashamed, feeling discriminated against and insulted, his face filled with resentment and frustration.
A surge of anger welled up inside me, and I couldn't suppress it.
"Big brother, do you...do you look down on me that much?" Fang Yaoqing asked.
He simply couldn't bear the burning fire in his chest; it was about to incinerate her and reduce him to ashes.
I absolutely have to get this out of me.
Zhang Qingguo was puzzled. Why did he look down on his brother-in-law? He looked completely bewildered.
On the contrary, Zhang Shengtian saw through a little bit of the situation and quickly said, "Yaoqing, you have misunderstood Qingguo."
“Many people outside are doing this job now, and the salary is quite good.” In Lili’s shop, the treatment is better than that of people working in the public sector.
"That's why he gave you that advice; it's not that he looks down on you," Zhang Shengtian explained with a smile.
People who are a little closed off will have this misunderstanding.
If he hadn't gone abroad with them for several years, he would have misunderstood too.
Zhang Shengtian's explanation made Zhang Qingguo understand, and also made Fang Yaoqing feel half relieved.
Is that really the case? My brother-in-law didn't look down on me?
"Dad, really?" Zhang Aiai asked, tears welling up in her eyes.
Zhang Shengtian nodded firmly, "Of course, why would I lie to you about something like this?"
"Besides, you are my daughter and son-in-law, of course I hope you live a good life."
"When I introduce you to jobs, of course I'll introduce you to jobs that you can do and that are relatively good. Why would I lie to you?"
This was Zhang Shengtian's truest thought; that's what he really thought.
He can only feel at ease when his children are doing well.
So why would I lie to people?
This made Zhang Aiai and Fang Yaoqing nod in agreement; they believed Zhang Shengtian's words.
So, it really wasn't that the brother-in-law looked down on them.
"Nowadays, no profession is considered superior or inferior. Waiters are not looked down upon, nor is it a job where people serve others."
"Many people outside do this: they simply use their own hands to earn a living through their labor."
Zhang Shengtian also affirmed Zhang Qingguo's words, "The job is very good, and the salary is not low. In some places, the salary is even higher than Qingguo's." That's the case in his eldest daughter-in-law's shop.
"That's why the Qing Kingdom made you do this."
After Zhang Shengtian finished explaining, Fang Yaoqing calmed down and his anger subsided.
"That's good," Fang Yaoqing nodded, but in his heart, he looked down on the job.
But hearing that the salary was higher than Zhang Qingguo's, he was somewhat tempted.
"Big Brother, if possible, let your two older brothers introduce him to a better job."
"You have no idea how hard it is at home. We have to stretch every penny to make ends meet. We have to think long and hard before we can even buy something."
“That’s why I was thinking of asking my brothers for help. I wanted to find Yaoqing a job so that the family could have some extra income,” Zhang Aiai cried from the side.
They had already discussed it when they arrived; she would appeal to his emotions, and Yaoqing would politely make his request.
That way, neither Dada nor his brother will feel embarrassed to help, and they will definitely help in the end.
So at this moment, Zhang Aiai did as they had agreed.
"Yes, things are really tough at home, that's why I thought of going out to see what the outside world is like." Fang Yaoqing also looked worried.
But looking around, in Hongqi Village and the surrounding villages, which family doesn't live the same kind of life?
Life now is so much better than before; everyone says this is the life they've been waiting for.
It was simply because Fang Yaoqing saw the gifts Song Lili brought, and seeing so many nice things, that he was tempted.
That's why they complain about being poor and start thinking. They want to go out into the world because they think making money there is really easy.
If Song Lili were here, she would definitely tell them that making money isn't easy these days.
People with a good mind may find it relatively easier to make money, but it's not always smooth sailing.
But is Fang Yaoqing cut out for this? Does he have good ideas and creative concepts?
No!
Ordinary people can only rely on luck and constantly look for opportunities.
The national economy is only now beginning to recover, and there are limited job openings and a limited number of people needed.
Those who can go out are all quick-witted and capable people; only they can make a name for themselves in the outside world.
Others, once they go out, will find that finding a job is incredibly difficult.
Therefore, opportunities outside are not so easy to find, and money outside is not so easy to earn.
