Chapter 39 "She always has someone to order her around"
Her tone was serious, yet her joy was undeniable.
Uncle Song stopped slurping noodles and looked up at his wife, with several deep wrinkles on her forehead.
"What's the good news?" he asked.
"Zhao Zhao has become a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative!" Aunt Song said in a soft voice, her face full of smiles, she was very happy.
Uncle Song tightened his grip on the chopsticks, looking surprised, "Really?"
"That couldn't be false! Zhao Zhao came here specifically to say that."
Aunt Song recalled Zhao Zhao's outfit today and said with a smile, "Zhao Zhao wore a brand new white shirt, a linen skirt that reached her ankles, and a new watch on her wrist. She said she bought it with the ticket Cheng Huai sent her yesterday."
"That little face, with red lips and white teeth, is pretty. She hasn't suffered at all. She looks better than when she just graduated. I can tell she is doing well. Now she's a salesperson, so she will definitely have a more comfortable life in the future."
Uncle Song has always been worried about his only niece, Lin Zhao.
He had looked for a job for her in the past few years, but all the jobs she found were in workshops, where she had to stand for hours. It was hot in the summer and unbearable in the winter, and the young girl's hands would crack after working for a few days.
He could endure hardship himself, but he couldn't bear to see his own Zhao Zhao suffer, so he wanted to find an easy and decent job.
But.
Jobs in the county are very limited, and it is difficult to find an ordinary job. It is even more difficult to find a job that is easy and decent, such as a salesperson.
"It's good news indeed." Uncle Song exhaled heavily, and the heavy stone in his heart was finally removed. "Did Cheng Huai help find it?"
Aunt Song nodded, "What a coincidence."
"Cheng Huai has a comrade whose brother-in-law is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. It just so happens that the supply and marketing cooperative is expanding and needs to recruit two more salespeople. Our Zhao Zhao is a high school student. She has connections and education, so the job became hers."
Uncle Song knew the whole story and thought Zhao Zhao was lucky. "She has always been lucky."
After a day's work, I was really hungry. I slurped up two mouthfuls of noodles and remembered something. Uncle Song asked again, "What did Zhao Zhao eat for lunch?"
"Starting tomorrow, I'll let Yuncheng deliver it to her." Yuncheng was a temporary worker and was not that busy. When he was busy, she would let Yunjin deliver it. Aunt Song already had a plan in mind.
Song Yuncheng: “…” Biological mother?
Song Yunjin: QAQ
Uncle Song hummed, "I'll leave the bike behind."
The setting sun slowly set, and the western sky, along with the large patches of clouds, were dyed orange-red.
Riding a bicycle is much faster than walking, but it wastes your butt.
"Yuncheng, have you found a job?" Lin Zhao moved his body, trying to divert attention.
Hey, who are you looking down on? ?
Song Yuncheng lifted the hair on his forehead and said, "Sister, do you think I am you?"
"I'm not as delicate as you. I can do anything, so it's easy for me to find a job."
Lin Zhao shook her feet, not angry. She was just pampered and couldn't stand hardship.
Song Yuncheng pedaled his bicycle and continued, "I joined the motor factory as a temporary worker. I estimate that I can become a regular employee next year."
"By the way, are you a regular employee?" he asked.
Lin Zhao nodded, and thinking that Yun Cheng couldn't see it, she said, "It's a done deal."
This is what it means to have someone in the court to get things done.
"How enviable." Song Yuncheng's tone was full of envy.
"Didn't you ask your uncle to think of a solution for you?"
Song Yuncheng laughed out loud, "Sister, you mean to find connections, right? How dare I say that? My dad will beat me to death if I dare to mention it. Old Song has the same violent temper as my aunt, and it hurts when he hits people. I'd better bear it slowly."
Lin Zhao twisted his arm.
The boy on the cyclist had a distorted expression and hissed in pain.
"Sister, dear sister, you want to strangle me to death." Song Yuncheng almost jumped out of the car.
"I told you to stop talking nonsense!" Lin Zhao rubbed the place where she pinched him again and said unhappily, "My mother and uncle have good tempers and never speak loudly. How can they be bad-tempered?"
Do you all have good tempers? ! !
Song Yuncheng's arm shook, and the front of the car swayed from side to side.
After stabilizing the car, he tilted his head, his face full of shock, "Isn't that still irritable?!"
Thinking of the way his father spoke softly to Sister Zhao Zhao, he put on an understanding expression again, "That's right, my father never treats you harshly, he always smiles at you..."
The boy grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Who is the biological child?"
Song Yuncheng drove Lin Zhao back to the brigade.
He was a stranger, looked energetic, and was riding a bicycle. As soon as he appeared, he was noticed by the aunties and sisters in the village.
When he saw Lin Zhao in the back seat, his expression changed instantly and he could not hide the inquiry in his eyes.
Song Yuncheng's mind raced and he immediately guessed what these people were thinking.
He said loudly, "Sister, we're here."
This cry of "sister" was unusually loud.
sister?
Lin Zhao has a younger brother! ?
The captain's wife stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Chenghuai's wife, you have a younger brother? I remember you only had three brothers."
Nonsense, she obviously has four brothers! !
Lin Zhao didn't say much as she didn't want the villagers to laugh at her or spread rumors about her family's affairs.
"This is my cousin. My aunt asked him to send me off."
The captain's wife nodded and said, "So it's your uncle's."
Lin Zhao was a high-profile person, and everyone in the brigade knew that she had a powerful uncle from the city.
Because of this, no one dared to dance in front of her.
The captain's wife looked at Song Yuncheng, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Young man, do you have a girlfriend? If not, I can introduce you to one."
"Okay." Song Yuncheng actually agreed, and then said, "There are three workers in my family. The girl introduced by Auntie also has a job, right?"
The captain's wife choked and her smile faded instantly.
She is from the countryside, where can she find a job?
In the entire brigade, Lin Zhao was the only girl with a stable job.
"You have quite high standards."
Song Yuncheng disagreed, "It's not high. How can it be high? I have three children in my family..."
He casually gestured with the number three, "Three workers, all with stable jobs, it's not too much to ask the woman to have a job."
"In the city, if you don't have a job, you don't have food. If you don't have food, you can't even eat. This is a very realistic problem that we can't ignore."
After hearing this, the captain's wife and the aunties and sisters in the village felt that what he said made sense.
"That's right."
"With three working people in my family, it's not too much to ask for a partner who has a job."
Song Yuncheng nodded seriously and said, yes, it’s not too much.
Behind the enthusiastic matchmaker aunt's back, he winked at Lin Zhao.
His eyebrows were raised, his eyes were like stars, and he showed a row of white teeth, revealing the youthful spirit.
"Go home." Lin Zhao waved at him.
"..." Sister, can you please stop calling him like you're calling a puppy?
Song Yuncheng's eyes were filled with resentment.
Just follow him obediently.
He was not in a hurry to return to the county because he wanted to take a look at the older cubs.
When he gets back, his parents will definitely ask him, and if he can't answer, they will look down on him.
Song Yuncheng and Lin Zhao went to Gu's house. Looking at the mud house in front of them, he stood there in a daze, his face full of disbelief, and he felt a little sorry for his sister.
"Sister, you live here?"
"Yes, this is my home." Lin Zhao nodded calmly, glaring at him threateningly, "Why, my home is not worthy of you coming to my house?"
That wasn't what Song Yuncheng meant. He pushed the cart into the house angrily.
He is so stupid.
I feel so sorry for it.
Seeing a stranger coming into the house, Dahuang pricked up his ears, barked, bared his sharp teeth, and growled threateningly.
Amber stood beside her mother, also shouting and looking at the fierce boy.
"Dahuang and Amber are one of us," Lin Zhao said.
Dahuang was indeed smart. As soon as she finished speaking, he stopped barking and walked forward with Amber, wagging his tail wildly around the hostess.
"Sister, you have a dog? You actually have a dog!?" Song Yuncheng's voice became louder and louder, and he frowned worriedly, "Sister, are you full?"
Lin Zhao thought he was talking nonsense. "Of course I am full. If I am not full, how can I keep a dog? There is nothing wrong with my brain."
Song Yuncheng felt relieved and stared at Da Huang and Amber with a look of disdain, "So ugly."
After being glared at by his sister, he changed his words, "...Looks pretty smart."
Lin Zhao withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and patted the heads of the two dogs one by one.
Song Yuncheng asked, "Sister, where are the eldest son and the others?"
"Maybe he'll be playing in the old house or in the village," Lin Zhao said.
"I'll go find them!" Song Yuncheng said excitedly. Thinking that children all like to ride bicycles, he pushed the bike out and rode around the village looking for the older kids.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Zhao washed her hands and face and went into the kitchen to cook.
I won two bags of braised beef noodles in a lottery before. The noodles were quite large, so I just cooked them all, beat a few more eggs, and added some green vegetables. That should be enough.
It's enough or not, just leave it like this, it's convenient.
Yun Cheng has to go back to the county soon.
Song Yuncheng pedaled his bicycle slowly, looking for the eldest and second sons in the village, his voice loud and clear.
"Big cub!"
"Second cub!!"
The eldest and second oldest were sharing canned food with Tiechui, their cheeks bulging from eating so much. When they heard someone calling their names, they walked over with the cans in their hands.
Saw a stranger.
When Erzai saw Song Yuncheng's... bicycle, his eyes lit up, he wiped his mouth, walked over quickly, and stared at his bike.
"Brother, come and look at the bicycle!"
After calling his brother, he looked up at Song Yuncheng and asked without hesitation, "Who are you? What are you doing in our team? How much did you pay for this bicycle?"
The child's eyes are as bright as falling stars, and his smile is cute and lively, very likable.
Song Yuncheng liked him at first sight and asked with a smile, "Are you the eldest or the second?"
Erzai is a smart guy and won't easily reveal who he is. He stands there with his arms folded and his chin slightly raised.
"I asked you first. Tell me who you are first, and then I'll consider whether I want to be your friend."
Song Yuncheng looked at the arrogant kid and almost got hurt from trying to hold back his laughter.
"...Well, I'm your uncle," he said.
"?!" A big question mark appeared on Erzai's face.
uncle?
He stood shoulder to shoulder with the eldest son, and whispered to his brother, "Brother, this guy must be a nasty kidnapper. He pretended to be our uncle. Let's trick him into going to the brigade headquarters and let the captain catch him so that he can cheat the kids again!"
Erzai has a loud voice, and even if he lowers his voice it won't get much quieter.
Song Yuncheng heard everything he said.
"......!!" The boy's mouth twitched.
When they first met, his own nephew loudly conspired to send him to prison! !
"I really am your uncle. If you don't believe me, go home and ask your mother." Song Yuncheng felt helpless and bitter.
The older and younger cubs were stunned, their faces lit up, and the two brothers held hands and ran away.
Ran home in a hurry.
When I saw the door of my house was open, the smile on his face was brighter than the sun.
"mother!"
"mother!!"
Two joyful and excited voices came from far away.
"Mom, you're back!" Erzai rushed to the kitchen door and shouted, "Mom, why didn't you call me and my brother when you came back? My brother and I have been waiting for you for a long time. We are so hungry."
When he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, his mouth was watering.
"What are you cooking, mom? It smells so good. Is there any for me and my brother?!"
The eldest child still remembers Song Yuncheng, clinging to the door frame and sticking his little head inside, "Mom, there's a weird guy on a bicycle who said he's our uncle. Do we have this uncle?"
Lin Zhao thought the children’s talk was really interesting, with all that uncle talking about this uncle and that uncle.
"Yes, the man who rode a bicycle to find you is also your uncle. Besides him, you also have a little uncle, but he is still in school. I will take you to see him when I have the chance."
The eldest child said in a clear voice, "Okay."
"Mom, I'm so hungry. I want to eat." Erzai covered his rumbling stomach and acted coquettishly to his mother.
"The meal is ready. Help your uncle wash his hands." Lin Zhao said, and served the cooked noodles into a bowl.
Song Yuncheng didn't want to eat for free, even though the aroma coming from the kitchen made him swallow his saliva unconsciously.
"Sister, it's getting late. I'm going back to eat."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Zhao glared at him.
Song Yuncheng fell silent, touched the tip of his nose, and obediently followed Erzai to wash his hands.
The second child chuckled.
When the uncle rubbed his nephew's head, "Where is your hair?" he asked while washing his hands.
Erzai scratched his prickly head and said, "Let the barber shave it. My mother said that bald heads are cooler."
Song Yuncheng didn't quite believe it. He thought there must be some small creatures on their heads that were disliked by his sister.
The eldest boy wiped his hands with a towel and looked at his new uncle from time to time, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Ask your mother." Song Yuncheng kicked the ball back.
The eldest boy pursed his lips and stopped talking.
No need to ask, it must be because their mother was too busy taking care of them and had no time to introduce this uncle to them.
After washing their hands, Song Yuncheng and his two sons went to serve the meal.
After entering the kitchen, the fragrance becomes even stronger.
The taste is indescribable.
All three of them were confused by the fragrance! !
They smiled with their eyes narrowed, their noses moving quickly, as if they wanted to inhale all the fragrance into their chests.
One big and two small expressions are synchronized.
"Sister, your cooking skills are getting better and better. They smell good and must taste even better." Song Yuncheng remembered that Sister Zhaozhao used to cook occasionally, and her casual dishes were always better than those made by his mother.
His father said that this is called talent.
That’s absolutely right.
"Eat quickly. You still have to go back to the county after eating. Leave early so you won't lose sight of the road when it gets dark," said Lin Zhao.
Song Yuncheng nodded and buried his head in eating noodles. He stuffed a handful of curly noodles into his mouth, his pupils dilated, and gave a thumbs up.
“That’s amazing!!”
Just say a compliment and show off quickly.
The eldest and second cubs were so hungry that they buried their faces in the bowls and ate without stopping. The food was so delicious that they were speechless.
It's true that Song Yuncheng is a city kid, but he rarely eats so comfortably.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, he stood up, holding his stomach, "I feel so good!"
Seeing the eldest and second cubs cleaning up the dishes, he hurried to help.
The eldest son held out his hand to stop him, "Mom said that my uncle is in a hurry to go back to the county, so the second son and I will pack up."
Song Yuncheng felt that his two nephews were too skilled in their movements, so he asked curiously, "Do you usually wash the dishes?"
The eldest child nodded calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom. The second child and I will wash it."
Song Yuncheng felt that compared with the two kids, he was so useless.
"You guys are awesome," he praised.
His sister used to order him and Yunjin around, but now she orders the eldest and second sons around.
She always has people to order her around.
I received a lot of votes and good comments. I am very grateful for the support of my dear children~! !
I am very encouraged.
The author wishes he could tie his ponytail to the roof and type 24 hours a day, but as a social animal he still has to go to work, and he only has a few hours of time to write every evening, so he can’t update for the time being.
But I’m saving up and will give you guys a big update at the end of the month. I’ll owe you a break for now.
Thank you again, my dears, I love you~(ε)
