Li Xiao drove Zheng Qingqing to the alley where her home was. Zheng Qingqing got out of the car and waved goodbye: "Goodbye, Auntie, Xiao, see you tomorrow."
"goodbye."
"See you tomorrow."
After watching Zheng Qingqing enter the alley, the mother and daughter continued riding their bicycles towards home.
Li Xiaobo: "Mom, actually you don't have to pick me up at night. I can go home alone."
My mother works very hard to run the store every day, and then she has to pick her up from evening self-study after work. It's really too hard.
"What's wrong? Mom came to pick you up from school, and some classmates laughed at you?" Li Yunshu asked with a smile.
Li Xiao shook her head. "I don't care whether others laugh at me or not. I just don't want you to be too hard."
"It only takes 30 minutes round trip, and you don't have to walk, so what's so hard about it? You have evening self-study and get out of school so late, so if someone can pick you up from school every day, Mom will have more time off."
In her previous life, she had seen too many girls walking at night and encountering dangerous cases on the news. She couldn't let go of the little girl walking home at night.
After returning home, Li Yunshu cooked a dozen dumplings and gave them to Xiao 냫 as a midnight snack.
After eating supper, the mother and daughter washed up and went to bed.
Now that the little ones get out of school so late, it is not convenient for them to go to the bathhouse to take a bath, so Li Yunshu asked Cheng Hongliang to build a simple bathroom in the backyard. They no longer have to go to the bathhouse to take a bath at night, they can just boil a pot of hot water and take a bath.
During the break, Li Xiao was memorizing English words while the math teacher handed out math homework books.
When it was handed to Li Xiao, the classmate pointed at her name on the homework book and asked, "Lin Xiao, isn't your name written wrong? Why is it Li Xiao?"
When the people around heard the class schedule ask this, they all looked at Li Xiaobo. How could she write her own last name wrong?
She said, "That's right. I changed my last name. I'm now Xiaoli."
"Why?" the class teacher asked curiously.
Li Xiaobo said truthfully: "I changed my last name to my mother's."
"Why did you change your surname to your mother's? Shouldn't children have their father's surname?" The male classmate sitting behind Li Xiaobo asked with a frown.
Li Xiaoblinked and said, "Is it not okay for me to like my mother's last name?"
She didn't want to tell her classmates that she changed her last name because her parents were divorced and she followed her mother.
She didn't feel embarrassed, but she was afraid of being laughed at by her classmates. She just didn't want them to know and gossip about her, disturbing her studies.
Ke Dongbiao said: "Just because you like your mother's last name, you change it to your mother's last name. You are too hasty. How can you change your last name casually?"
"Just..."
Li Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't think it was sloppy, nor did I make any changes casually. I made the changes very seriously."
The male classmate behind her said, "You changed your last name to your mother's. Have you ever thought about what your father would think?"
Li Xiao shook his head and said, "Why don't you go ask my dad what he thinks?"
Her father doesn’t even know that she changed her surname!
"I don't even know your dad, why would I ask?"
Zheng Qingqing said, "That kid's surname change has nothing to do with you. Why are you talking so much? Instead of worrying about why other people changed their surnames, you might as well learn a few more words."
“…”
The bell rang and the teacher walked into the classroom, interrupting the students' discussion about Lin Xiao's surname change.
In a state-owned restaurant, Lin Jianshe sat with several educated youth who had worked in the countryside in the same place, drinking and eating together.
Lin Jianshe hosted this table and invited the educated youth Song Jiarong, and the other educated youths were also present.
"This is our first gathering since returning to the city. Come, let's have a drink together." Lin Jianshe said, holding up his glass.
Everyone raised their glasses together. Song Jiarong was the slowest to raise his, so everyone waited and clinked their glasses together.
Lin Jianshe drank the wine in the glass, put it down and poured wine for Song Jiarong who was sitting next to him.
"Jiarong, you are now the most successful among our group of educated youth who went to the countryside to work. Your relatives became overseas Chinese who returned to China to invest and build factories, and they even made you the human resources manager of the factory. You are really amazing."
"Come, let me toast you." Lin Jianshe poured himself another glass of wine and toasted Song Jiarong.
Song Jiarong glanced at him and remembered that when he was so hungry that his stomach ached, Lin Jianshe gave him two biscuits and even gave him face. He picked up the wine glass and drank with him.
Lin Jianshe used to live the best life among the educated youth like him who went to the countryside to work in the fields.
Every month, my family would send me money, tickets, and food. I didn't have to worry about not having enough to eat and going to the fields to earn money.
He works when he wants to, and doesn't work when he doesn't want to. He never lacks food, and occasionally, when he's generous, he'll share some with us.
But although he looks pretty glamorous now and treats everyone to drinks and meals, everyone can see that he is not having a good time.
We organized this event today and gathered everyone together in order to invite Song Jiarong and to ask for something from him.
After drinking more than thirty glasses of wine and constantly complimenting Song Jiarong, Lin Jianshe, who was already a little drunk, put his arm around Song Jiarong's shoulders and said, "Jiarong, you are rich now, but you must not forget us brothers who once slept on the same kang and ate from the same pot."
The accompanying 그 also agreed with Lin Jianshe's words and was right.
"Don't be afraid of you guys laughing at me, but I've had a very hard time this year. I married a troublemaker who has disrupted our home and ruined all the production at my garment factory. I got so angry that I divorced her." Lin Jianshe slammed the table and said in a domineering manner, dumping Liu Qin instead of just dumping her.
The educated youth who joined the team with him said, "You really can't keep a troublemaker like that. You were right to leave."
"You've messed up everything. This woman is really good at messing things up."
"Marrying a troublemaker will ruin everything. Jianshe, it's not easy for you either."
Lin Jianshe sighed, "Isn't it? You all know how hard it is to find this work nowadays. If it's not mixed up, it's gone. I've been looking for it for so long and still can't find it."
"Jiarong, I'm shamelessly asking you to do me a favor today. Let me work at your plastics factory."
I have some money in my hand, but the money will be spent one day. No matter what, I have to find a business class to attend.
Having been cheated, I no longer dare to dream of those unrealistic dreams of getting rich. I just want to do some down-to-earth work.
A couple of days ago, when I was wandering on the street, I happened to meet the educated youth who had worked in the countryside with me. I learned from him that Song Jiarong is now very successful and is the executive manager of a plastic factory invested by overseas Chinese.
She then thought about asking Song Jiarong for help and finding a job in a private factory.
I asked 그 to help contact and set up today's game.
Private factories are different from state-owned factories. Once you enter a state-owned factory, as long as you don't make any particularly big mistakes, you can work there for life.
It’s different in private factories. If you make a mistake or offend a leader, the boss can fire you if they want.
The job security is not as good as that of state-owned factories, and the welfare benefits are not as good as those of state-owned factories, but the private factories can provide a little more investment.
