Chapter 334 Zhao Youfu
Seeing that the number of people coming here today was more than the past ten years combined, Zhao Youfu realized that these people were not simply coming to his house to give gifts.
"Dad, why don't we just not come back for the New Year in the future."
Zhao Youfu looked at Zhao Dajiang and said.
"We have to come back to celebrate the New Year in the future. Your Uncle Luo is really good to our family. We can't cut off contact with him because of such a small matter."
Zhao Dajiang said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhao Youfu nodded. After the land was divided today, his own land would be handed over to Luo Guangyou's family to manage. From now on, the family's food for the whole year would be provided by them. This kind of friendship really needed to be maintained.
Now Zhao Youfu finally understood what his grandfather often muttered. When he was young, he always wanted to travel the world with reason. But when I grew up, I realized how naive I was at that time.
When a poor person has tattered clothes, whatever he says is wrong. When a poor person has no money, his words are light and he cannot express his reason clearly. Don't approach someone who has no money.
The same principle applies no matter where you go.
Now the villagers did not really accept their family, but they just wanted to take advantage of their future development.
After celebrating the New Year in Wangzhuang, the family packed up some things and rushed to the city.
Zhao Youfu did not immediately follow his parents to help his grandparents move things to their new home. Instead, he came to Zhao Yi's house carrying ten kilograms of bacon from his home.
"Brother, happy new year to sister-in-law."
As soon as Zhao Youfu entered the living room, he saw Zhao Yi lying on a rocking chair, and Zhang Jing was busy behind the sewing machine, but his nephew and niece were not at home.
"Good luck is here, come in and sit down."
Zhang Jing quickly stood up and greeted them. Today was only the first day of the new year, and she didn't know why her uncle sent Zhao Youfu to the city.
"Youfu is here, come and have a cup of hot water."
Zhao Yi also sat up straight, patted the chair beside him and smiled.
"Um."
Zhao Youfu did not refuse. He put the bacon away and sat down next to Zhao Yi.
"Why did you rush back from home so soon?"
After making a cup of tea for Zhao Youfu, Zhang Jing sat back behind the sewing machine and busied herself making summer clothes for several elderly people. She only had time during this period as she was usually very busy.
"There are many people coming to my house to give gifts, and my dad doesn't have much skills, so it's hard for him to agree to anything. I had no choice but to return here and hide."
Zhao Youfu did not hide anything and told everyone about his family affairs directly.
My uncle bought a courtyard house in the city, which was also in line with the wishes of the two elders of the Wang family. Although their family lived in Wangzhuang at the beginning, there were also small courtyard houses. When buying the house, Zhao Yi went to negotiate the price together. A courtyard house cost only more than 1,800 yuan.
"Do you all want to use your uncle's connections to find a job in the city?"
Zhao Yi smiled.
Zhao Yi didn't have to guess about such things. Now that the land was contracted to individuals, families didn't have to work together to earn work points like before. The excess labor force at home could be completely freed up to do odd jobs to supplement the family income.
In the entire Wangzhuang, apart from Zhao Dajiang, there is Luo Guangyou. Luo Guangyou does not have this ability and has never been to the city, so naturally he has no way to help. The only way is to ask Zhao Dajiang for help to solve this problem.
But my uncle only knows how to do some small business and has never been involved in other things, so how can he help them find work?
It may not work this year, but after next year, people from nearby villages will take the initiative to go to the county town or city to find work. At first, only those who are brave enough will go out to find work. Once someone goes out and finds a job, naturally someone will come and ask to take them with them.
"My dad is not that capable. If he agreed, he would still come to trouble you, big brother. If he doesn't want to cause you trouble, he will come back."
Zhao Youfu smiled.
"Wangzhuang is too far from the city. Even if they have the means, they can't do it."
Zhao Yi shook his head.
If you want to make money now, street management has become much more relaxed. Many small stalls are allowed as long as they don't occupy the road too much. Some places don't even charge any stall fees.
Make some snacks at home and set up a stall in the city, you can still earn a few cents a day. Nowadays, the salary of a bricklayer is only one dollar a day, so the income of a few cents is not too low.
Just like the old lady selling melon seeds at the entrance of the square, she only makes a few cents in profit a day.
"Brother, are you talking about setting up a stall to sell food?"
Zhao Youfu is not stupid. When Zhao Yi said there was a way to do it, he thought of this matter the first time.
There are many vendors selling food in front of Rongcheng University. Most of the college students have their food and accommodation at school, but there are also some whose families are slightly wealthier, or whose families do not need to send the college student allowance back home.
College students receive a monthly allowance.
The living allowance of many universities is 62 cents a day, and 18.6 yuan a month, which is higher than the salary of temporary workers. Regardless of whether they are graduates from workers, peasants and soldiers universities or college students like these, the minimum salary is 56.
Zhao Yi was not sure how much monthly allowance the technical college gave.
Students from these families who come to school can save some money to buy other things, and the stalls in front of the school are places they occasionally visit, so when Zhao Yi mentioned Zhao Youfu, he knew what he was referring to.
But I have to say that my eldest brother is really quick-witted.
After chatting about family matters for a while, Zhao Youfu was about to get up and leave.
Zhang Jing quickly grabbed a prepared red envelope and followed him out.
"Your elder brother and I don't have time to prepare any return gifts, so you can use this to buy some snacks."
Zhang Jing said this and was about to hand over the red envelope.
"Sister-in-law, I come here often, how can I be so polite?"
"Take it. If you continue to be stubborn, my sister-in-law will be angry. You said Happy New Year, so how can I not give you a red envelope?"
Zhang Jing said pretending to be angry.
Seeing this, Zhao Youfu had no choice but to accept the red envelope and leave.
Wangzhuang.
No one expected that Zhao Dajiang would find a car to pick them up before dawn. They came to Zhao Dajiang's house just after lunch, but no one came out after knocking for a long time.
I pushed hard and found that the door was not locked.
When I walked into the house, I found that no one was home and the house was in a mess, as if there had been a thief.
I walked into the inner room and found that the quilt at home was also missing.
Everyone hurried to Luo Guangyou's house.
"Captain Luo, it seems that there's a thief in Dajiang's house."
When everyone came to Luo Guangyou, they started talking busily. The fact that Zhao Dajiang's family was rich must have been targeted by the thieves. They didn't expect that they would target their family during the New Year.
"The family went back to the city. It wasn't because of thieves. I took them to the county town in a bullock cart."
Luo Guangyou waved his hand. He originally wanted to persuade Zhao Dajiang to stay for two more days, but seeing the attitude of the villagers, no one could resist. They looked down on him at first and now tried hard to curry favor with him. Naturally, they would hide away if they didn't want to pay attention to him.
When everyone heard that he had left, they felt empty in their hearts.
