The one-week vacation is about to end, and Ye Li is packing up in the house, preparing to go to work tomorrow.
Suddenly she heard someone calling Jiang Xun in the yard, so she put down what she was holding, stood up and opened the door.
"Yes! He is at home! Excuse me, who are you two...?"
Ye Li saw two middle-aged men in their fifties standing in the yard pushing bicycles.
One of the men was tall and had a refined temperament.
This person is the director of the design department of the machinery factory, and should be Jiang Xun’s immediate superior, Director Zhang.
Director Zhang plays a crucial role in Jiang Xun's life trajectory.
The other man is a veteran in the design department with very strong professional skills. He is Jiang Xun’s future master and will impart a lot of knowledge to Jiang Xun.
Ever since getting married, Ye Li has been waiting for the two of them to appear, and now, they are finally here.
...
...
"We are two people from the machinery factory! We came here today to ask about Comrade Jiang Xun's situation."
"Hello, leaders." Ye Li greeted the two people enthusiastically, "I am Jiang Xun's lover, my name is Ye Li. Leaders, please come in!"
After the two of them entered the house, Ye Li poured water for them, grabbed two handfuls of candy and melon seeds from the cupboard and placed them in front of them.
"Leaders, we just got married! Here are the wedding candies and melon seeds. Come and have a taste."
"Okay, okay, thank you Comrade Ye, please stop being busy." Director Zhang said with a smile.
"Not busy, not busy."
Jiang Xun was reading a book in the house. He didn't have time to put the book away because of the sudden visit from these two people.
Director Zhang stepped forward, took a look and said, "Comrade Jiang, you are very hardworking!"
Jiang Xun smiled and said, "Director Zhang, you are too kind! I am just killing time when I have nothing to do! What is the matter that the two leaders are here for this time?"
"Yes! Really!" Director Zhang said straight to the point, "After you were discharged from the army four years ago, this job was assigned to the machinery factory. You have not been working for the past four years. This time, I came here on behalf of the factory to ask about your attitude and see if you will go to work this year. If you feel that going to the design department is not suitable, the factory is willing to transfer you to another department! For example, you can go to logistics or the labor union, it's all fine."
Jiang Xun's situation is special. Logically speaking, the best unit for retired soldiers is the Public Security Bureau.
This is a very suitable major.
But Jiang Xun couldn't go to the police station because he couldn't move his legs.
Seeing that he was proficient in mechanical knowledge, the leaders of the army arranged him to work in a machinery factory.
Moreover, he was given special care and the job was kept for him until he started working.
In the past few years, the factory has come here every year to inquire about the situation as a routine matter.
Especially this year, new people are going to join the design department.
This is how it is in the factory. One person per job, if you want to hire a new person, you have to move the old one out.
So, Director Zhang came to inquire about the situation.
While they were chatting here, next door, Hu Jingjing pressed her face against the wall and listened hard.
When she heard Director Zhang say that he could help Jiang Xun change his position, she immediately became excited.
She pulled Jiang Xi up from the bed and said, "Quick! Go check next door!"
Jiang Xi was half asleep when his wife woke him up. He asked reluctantly, "What are you doing next door?"
"Someone from the factory is here to transfer your brother to another job! I heard he can go to logistics, the labor union, or the propaganda department. As long as your brother agrees, it will be fine!"
"That's my brother's business, what does it have to do with me?" Jiang Xi rubbed his eyes and sneezed loudly.
"Are you stupid? Your brother is half paralyzed anyway, he can't go to any class, why are you taking up a place?"
Jiang Xi understood a little: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Need I say that? Go and beg your brother to give you his job!"
"What about my job?" Jiang Xi asked.
"Your job is not a good one. It just so happens that my brother has reached the age to work in a factory, so why not let him take your place?" Hu Jingjing had a plan in mind.
Jiang Xi heard that this was feasible.
He didn't care about his headache anymore, he got off the bed and said, "I'll be right back."
"I'll go with you!"
"Go, go, go, hurry up."
The couple was afraid that Jiang Xun would refuse this idea, so they ran out of their room.
He slammed Jiang Xun's door open and rushed in: "Brother! Leader! Let's discuss this matter again."
Jiang Xun frowned when he saw Jiang Xi barging in like this: "What are you doing here?"
"I heard everything from next door." Jiang Xi pulled a stool and sat down next to Jiang Xun. "Brother, the factory has always taken care of you. It's not a big deal if you don't go to work all the time."
"Jiang Xi, right?" Director Zhang had been here several times and knew him. "It's not that your brother doesn't want to go, but there are many inconveniences in this job."
"Anyway, this isn't going to work, is it?"
Director Zhang nodded: "Yes."
When Hu Jingjing heard this, she immediately interrupted and said, "Director Zhang, didn't you say you could transfer me to another position? How about transferring me to the trade union?"
"That's not a problem," said Director Zhang.
"That's great!" Hu Jingjing rubbed her hands and became excited.
When Ye Li saw Hu Jingjing's look, he knew what she was planning.
"What's good about that?" Ye Li said, "We won't transfer! Jiang Xun likes designing, and he has some knowledge of mechanics, if not mastery. We will stay in the design department and won't go anywhere else."
Hu Jingjing frowned: "Sister-in-law, can my brother go to work? He can't go to work at all! Why don't you transfer to the union!"
Ye Li snorted and laughed twice: "Can I go to work after the transfer to the union?"
"At least it's more leisurely than the design department, right?" After saying that, she winked at Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi understood and said immediately: "Brother, please feel sorry for your younger brother. I am exhausted from working in this workshop every day! Since you can't go to work anyway, why don't you give the job to me. I will definitely be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"
"Can it be arranged, leader?" Hu Jingjing asked hurriedly.
Director Zhao glanced at Jiang Xun and said, "If Comrade Jiang Xun agrees, it can be arranged. He is a hero and the factory will give him preferential treatment."
"Brother, please help me! Look at how exhausted Jiang Xi is every day... All his energy goes into the factory... We have been married for so long, but we don't even have a child. Why not? Because Jiang Xun is tired..."
Jiang Xi blushed after hearing what Hu Jingjing said.
He quickly shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Let me think about it." Jiang Xun said.
"Don't think about it." Ye Li immediately took over his words and said, "Jiang Xi, if your brother gives up this job, how will he live in the future? Are you going to let him starve?"
"Sister-in-law, my brother can't go to work!" Jiang Xi kept emphasizing this issue. "If my brother could go to work, he wouldn't have stayed at home for four years."
"Right, right, right!" Hu Jingjing nodded in agreement. "Brother can't go to work, but he always takes up a quota in other people's factories. How bad is that? Why not give it to Jiang Xi? We will be grateful to you two for the rest of our lives!"
How many meals can gratitude buy?
How much money can it be worth?
The least valuable thing in the world is Hu Jingjing's gratitude!
In his previous life, Jiang Xun gave up his job, but what was the result?
Sacrifice himself for the happiness of Jiang Xi's family!
Moreover, his younger brother turned against him and cheated him without hesitation!
"You don't have to be grateful!" Ye Li said, "Jiang Xun can get into this class!"
"He can't go to work! If he can go to work, it's in the morning!" Hu Jingjing emphasized again, "He has no intuition in his lower body and can't even take care of himself, so how can he go to work?"
These words are very harsh.
Jiang Xun frowned.
He has heard such words many times in the past few years, but the feeling is completely different when it comes from his own family.
"That's because I wasn't here! Now that I'm here, Jiang Xun can take this class!" Ye Li curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a cold arc.
