Xu Xiangyang did not refuse this good opportunity to work as a temporary worker in the city.
Only by leaving this small mountain village can he realize his ambitions. Now he has no way out and can only stay here.
So when Wang Zhongshan brought it up, he nodded without hesitation.
"Grandpa, that's great. I've been staying at home for so long that I'm just thinking about doing something outside!" Xu Xiangyang nodded happily.
Who wouldn't be happy about this? It's like giving someone a pillow when they're about to fall asleep.
I had been thinking about going to the city to see if there was a job, so I couldn’t stay at home all the time.
This time the work was also delivered.
Seeing that he was happy, Wang Zhongshan explained the job. "It's not difficult, actually. A temporary worker can make 18.5 yuan a month, plus tickets and other things. It's enough for you to spend. If you save a little, you can even save money."
"This job may not be a great one, but you do need to be tactful. Out there it's not like home. You have to read people's expressions and not just vent your anger when they get angry."
Wang Zhongshan actually knew his grandson's temper. If he hadn't heard that Xu Xiangyang was about to become a vagrant, he wouldn't have had the audacity to go to his old comrade to solve his work problem.
In the end, I ended up being a temporary job, so I must feel uncomfortable.
This is the first time I've asked someone for help in all these years, and I even got a temporary job to fool people.
He also understood that this temporary worker was not bad at this time, and for Xu Xiangyang, he was risking his reputation.
Xu Xiangyang looked at Wang Zhongshan with emotion, and naturally didn't know what he was thinking.
But he understood what he said about how to behave in society and working under other people.
After working for so many years and struggling in society, the thing I know best is how to read other people's faces.
Otherwise, how could she have accumulated wealth and bought a house? It was extremely difficult for a woman to own a house and a car in a big city by the age of 30.
Xu Xiangyang had a previous life, which he achieved through his own way of dealing with people and flattery.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I understand what's going on. It's not as comfortable away from home as it is at home." He acted very calmly, with an expression as if he was determined to accomplish something great.
Wang Zhongshan was very satisfied with his answer, and was also relieved that his efforts were not in vain. As long as his grandson knew how to work hard, that would be enough.
Wang Xiumin, who was kneading noodles outside, naturally heard their conversation and turned around to ask her mother.
"Mom, is what Dad said true?" She couldn't believe it. After all, working as a temporary worker in the city was a turnaround.
You know how hard it is to find a job nowadays. It is not easy for people who have settled in the countryside to move to the city.
Otherwise, why would she have to fight with Old Mrs. Xu to let her son go to school?
If you don't study, you will never get ahead. Unfortunately, Xu Xiangyang doesn't have the talent and didn't pass the exam.
But a high school diploma is not bad, at least you can find a temporary job.
But temporary workers also need connections. They have lived in rural areas all their lives, so how could they have such opportunities?
This time, Wang Zhongshan’s words made her overjoyed, and she thought to herself that it was finally over!
Old Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded. "Your father asked his old comrades for help, and that's how he got this temporary job."
When Wang Xiumin heard that it was obtained through asking for help, she was not as happy as before.
As her own daughter, doesn't she know what kind of person her father is?
When had he ever been so embarrassed as to ask for help from others? He had been so strong all his life that when he retired, he didn't ask for a penny more for medical treatment. After his leg was treated, he had no money left.
But now I have to ask others for help for my child...
Wang Xiumin felt mixed emotions at this moment.
Grandma Wang was very quick and the dumplings were in the pot in less than half an hour. Wang Xiumin was lighting the fire nearby, and the two of them worked very quickly.
Xu Xiangyang smelled the aroma of dumplings in the house and his mouth was watering.
He can cook, but he's not that proficient. He can just make simple stir-fries and stews.
He started to feel greedy after not having a proper meal for so long.
The dumplings were served on the table soon. Wang Zhongshan sat on the edge of the kang, and the others sat on stools.
"Let's eat quickly." Wang Zhongshan urged others to eat and poured himself two taels of wine.
Xu Xiangyang was not polite either. After all, it was his grandfather's house. If he was too polite, everyone would suspect him.
The dumplings are made with pork and sauerkraut. People in the north tend to eat sauerkraut more often because it is difficult to store vegetables in winter. Most of the vegetables are radish, cabbage, potatoes and sauerkraut.
I enjoy eating just these few things, because I couldn't eat wild vegetables in the past few years.
Xu Xiangyang ate two plates of dumplings in a row before patting his belly and leaving the table.
Now he doesn't have to worry about getting fat from eating too much. The original owner weighed only a hundred or so pounds and was only 1.78 meters tall, which was too thin.
But every family was like this at that time. If it weren't for Lao Wang's family supplementing him from time to time, his weight would probably be even lower.
"Being able to eat is a blessing!" Wang Zhongshan was happy to see him eating a lot.
That proves that you are in good health. Otherwise, how can you be a man if you can't eat much!
After Wang Xiumin finished eating, she sat down at the table and asked, "Dad, now that Xiangyang has a job, shouldn't we consider dividing the family business? Look at what my mother-in-law is doing. She's just thinking about making money to support Boss Xu."
She was perfectly willing to work hard to earn money, but she wasn't willing to use all the food she earned to feed Boss Xu's family.
I have a son too. If others don’t think about me, I have to think about them.
She only has this one child, and she will have to rely on Xu Xiangyang to take care of her in her old age.
When Xu Xiangyang heard his mother mention the division of the family property, he pricked up his ears and listened.
He also wanted to improve his family's life, but how could he support an ungrateful person when they were eating from the same pot?
It can be seen from the original owner's memory that no one in the Xu family, except his parents, took Xu Xiangyang seriously.
Whenever I go out and chat with others, I have to step on them, as if their surname is not Xu, and the ones who make fun of them are the Xu family.
I really don't know what these people are thinking.
Wang Zhongshan nodded in agreement when he heard her words, smacking his lips and saying, "Your old woman is indeed a bad person. Your old man is a good man, but he has no say. It's all nonsense."
He had no idea what to do when he met such in-laws.
If it weren't for the fact that Xu Laosan was honest and hardworking, he would never have married his daughter to him.
Fortunately, my daughter has not been bullied in recent years, otherwise he would have made a fuss long ago.
He thought for a moment and said, "Why not arrange for Xiangyang to get married? Otherwise, they can't let him go."
It definitely costs money to marry a wife, and if you don’t have money, you have to use food.
It's impossible for the Xu family to marry a daughter-in-law without paying anything, right? If she doesn't want to pay, then they can split up.
Wang Xiumin thought this was a good idea, but Xiang Min above him was not married yet. Wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing for them to be anxious?
Wang Zhongshan seemed to see what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Don't worry, who has to wait until the eldest brother gets married? Just do as I say."
