Mr. Qin was trying to rescue the factory's property during the fire, so he didn't have time to escape and lost his life.
Based on this contribution, the factory decided to not only give a higher pension than usual, but also promised to arrange a job for Qin Hanshu when she grew up.
However, more than ten days ago, Yang Aizheng half-forced and half-cajoled Hu Wenwen into giving this job opportunity.
Now is the time when the Going to the Countryside Movement is in full swing, and jobs in factories and government offices are hard to come by.
The textile factory could not refuse to give Qin Hanshu the job due to its previous promise, but it was not happy about transferring the job to someone else.
However, the job transfer is reasonable and legal. The textile factory has no legitimate reason to prevent the Qin family from transferring the job, so it can only prevaricate and let Hu Wenwen go home and wait for news.
This wait lasted for more than ten days.
When the factory manager saw Qin Hanshu coming to him, he thought she was asking about the job, so he complained with a worried look on his face, "It's not that the factory doesn't want to arrange a job as soon as possible. You can see how many young people want to find a job now. Even the workshops in our factory are fully staffed!"
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "Director, I'm not here to urge the factory to arrange work. I just regret it and want to transfer the job to someone else."
"You're not going to transfer it to your half-sister?" The factory manager was surprised. "Then who will you transfer it to?"
Qin Hanshu said: "I don't have a specific candidate, can you help me transfer this job?"
The factory manager's eyes lit up.
The current regulations require that all unemployed young people of working age in every household must go to the countryside.
I don’t know how many people have come to him for jobs, and he is worried about how to arrange them.
The factory manager pondered for a while and said, "I can help you introduce people who need jobs..."
Qin Hanshu interrupted, "I can't wait any longer. I want to transfer the job directly to you. As for who you transfer it to, it's up to you. Also, regarding the conditions for the job transfer... I want 400 yuan plus 200 industrial coupons."
Two hundred industrial coupons were not a small number; a newly married couple only had enough money to buy a home with one hundred of them.
But Qin Hanshu didn't ask for much money, and considering the current market conditions, the factory director could definitely make some money by selling it.
Qin Hanshu's words were so straightforward, and no one else could do the same, so the factory director stopped pretending and made the decision immediately.
But he didn't have that much money on him, so he asked Qin Hanshu to come to the factory tomorrow to get it.
Qin Hanshu agreed and asked the factory director to inform Hu Wenwen about the transfer of her job to someone else after a while.
The factory director also readily agreed.
Qin Shuhan felt a little relieved.
If possible, she also wants to stay in the city and work.
But Hu Dayong used his identity as a guardian to register her, and the files with the street office and the educated youth office were established. However, the job position at the textile factory was delayed for a long time and time waited for no one.
Fortunately, she knew that she would have the opportunity to return to the city in the future, and there was still space, so she would not suffer too much.
***
Qin Hanshu returned home, but there was still no one there. Instead, the postman happened to deliver a letter for her.
The letter was sent by Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang is Qin Hanshu's cousin.
Qin's father has two brothers in this generation, and Qin Hanshu also has an uncle.
Uncle Qin joined the army very early and died in Huaihai in 1949. After his death, his wife remarried and Qin Feiyang was raised by his uncle.
Qin Feiyang is seven years older than Qin Hanshu. They have a very good relationship, just like biological siblings.
Three years after Qin's father passed away, Qin Feiyang inherited his father's wish and joined the army. Although he rarely came back in recent years, he often communicated with Qin Hanshu.
In the past, Qin Hanshu was the type of person who would keep her grievances to herself. She would tell Qin Feiyang about the little troubles in life, but would never talk about the big problems.
For example, she never mentioned a word about the oppression she suffered from the Hu family.
It was not until half a year after her death that Qin Feiyang had not received any letter from her, so he asked Yang Aizheng about it. Yang Aizheng, realizing that she could no longer hide the truth, told him about her suicide.
Qin Hanshu still remembers the time when Qin Feiyang rushed back from the army with red eyes and almost strangled Yang Aizheng to death.
Qin Feiyang has always been a cheerful and sunny person. Qin Hanshu's death not only made him feel guilty, but also filled him with hatred for the Hu family and Yang Aizhen. Qin Feiyang retired from the army and made revenge for his sister an important goal in life, and began to oppose the Hu family.
However, the countless supporters behind Hu Wenwen ultimately led to Qin Feiyang's complete defeat, with his wife being insulted, his son being abducted, and himself becoming a mentally ill vagrant.
Qin Hanshu clenched his hands into fists.
After counting all the debts, she knew that she would never let the people of the Hu family have an easy life in this life!
This time, Qin Feiyang's letter was just a daily greeting as usual.
Qin Hanshu immediately started to reply, telling him that he was going to the countryside and attached the specific address of the place where he would be sent to work, asking Qin Feiyang to use that address next time he wrote.
After writing and mailing the letter, Yang Aizheng and Hu Wenwen came back home. There were large and small bags piled on the table, and it seemed that they had bought a lot of things.
Hu Wenwen glanced at Qin Hanshu and deliberately said loudly: "Mom, this piece of military green material is good. I want to make a new military uniform to wear."
Yang Aizhen smiled and replied, "Okay."
It is popular to wear military uniforms in society now. Hu Wenwen already has two sets, but Qin Hanshu doesn't have any.
Before, when Qin Hanshu saw Hu Wenwen wearing a military uniform, he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes, which always made Hu Wenwen feel very proud.
But at this time, Qin Hanshu didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard her words, and went straight back to his room.
Hu Wenwen was surprised and then angry. She stamped her feet and gritted her teeth and said, "What are you talking about?"
Although she has been in the city for so many years, Hu Wenwen still feels an indescribable sense of inferiority when facing Qin Hanshu.
When she and Qin Hanshu went out together when they were little, the neighbors always said that one looked like a rich lady and the other looked like a fire-making maid.
Needless to say, Hu Wenwen is the one who looks like the girl who makes fire.
The seeds of comparison and hostility were planted in the little Hu Wenwen's heart, and after that she always intentionally or unintentionally snatched away everything that Qin Hanshu cared about.
To this day, almost all of Qin Hanshu's things belong to her, including her biological mother who depends on Qin Hanshu for everything!
Thinking of this, Hu Wenwen felt better. She said to Yang Aizhen coquettishly, "Mom, look at her. She has such a dead face, as if someone owes her money."
Yang Aizhen frowned and said, "I'll go see your sister. Maybe she's still feeling unwell..."
Watching Yang Aizhen walk away, Hu Wenwen's face instantly darkened. She had called him "Mom" for so many years, but she was still no match for him!
Yang Aizheng entered Qin Hanshu's room, looked around carefully, locked the door, and then took out a handful of banknotes and gave them to Qin Hanshu.
"You are leaving now. I can't prepare too many things for you in front of your uncle Hu. I can only give you money and tickets. When you get there, you can buy whatever you need yourself."
The money Yang Aizheng gave was quite a lot, a total of two hundred yuan, as well as fifty kilograms of national food coupons and eight industrial coupons.
But this money is just a drop in the bucket of the money that Qin Hanshu's father left for him.
Yang Aizhen said lovingly, "If you need anything in the future, just write back and I'll send it to you. Hanshu, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Qin Hanshu's ears were callused from hearing the phrase "I'm sorry you've been wronged." She knew exactly what Yang Aizheng would say next.
"But I have no choice..." Yang Aizhen began to cry, "Although your father is gone, no one will use his family background to make a fuss, but my family background is landlords, and I suffered a lot in my hometown when I was young. I don't want to suffer again now..."
"Your uncle Hu's family has been poor farmers for eight generations, and he is a very capable person. With him in control, ordinary people dare not cause trouble for our family. That's why mom married him and obeyed him in everything..."
Qin Hanshu looked at Yang Aizhen quietly and asked, "You were awake the night Hu Bingbing pushed my door, right?"
With such a loud noise, how could he not wake up?
Yang Aizhen was stunned for a moment.
Qin Hanshu stared at Yang Aizhen, "Why didn't you say anything?"
Yang Aizhen looked away in panic, "I, I was sleeping too soundly, I didn't wake up..."
Qin Hanshu sneered and said sarcastically: "Even Grandma Wu next door is awake, but you, as a mother, are sleeping soundly."
Yang Aizheng was born in a landlord family before the liberation. She was educated in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since childhood. In her heart, men are the sky. Without a man, she would lose her backbone. She would be afraid of everything and feel that everyone would bully her.
After Qin's father passed away, she was also at a loss, but at that time there was Qin Feiyang. Although he was just a teenager, he could barely support the family.
Later, Qin Feiyang joined the army, and she began to have trouble sleeping again. She cried to Qin Hanshu every night, regretting that Qin Hanshu was not a boy.
Later, when the movement came, and because of her sensitive background, she went to find Hu Dayong.
From then on, Hu Dayong became her heaven.
In the past, Qin Hanshu was brainwashed and understood Yang Aizheng, thinking that she was just forced by the situation.
But after going through so much, she realized that everything was just an excuse and that her biological mother was a selfish person to the core.
Qin Hanshu had no doubt that if Hu Bingbing had really broken into the house that night, as long as Hu Dayong stopped him, Yang Aizheng would have to watch her being bullied!
In short, Qin Hanshu's attachment and admiration for his so-called mother had long been worn away by day-to-day hatred.
Being exposed by her daughter on the spot, Yang Aizhen's face turned blue and red, "Han Shu, you..."
Qin Hanshu closed his eyes and said disgustedly: "Go out, I want to be alone."
Yang Aizheng clearly felt that Qin Hanshu had changed since returning from the hospital. She felt a little embarrassed and wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but when she saw Qin Hanshu's cold attitude, she couldn't say anything.
Forget it, the child is ignorant and doesn't understand her painstaking efforts, why should she care? When he grows up, he will naturally understand her.
