Chapter 192: Don’t Be an Ignorant Wolf (Page 1/2)
At around eleven o'clock, the driver came back after sending Huo Junshan and his family away. Huo Qingci hurriedly put the luggage into the car one by one.
After having lunch in the courtyard, the group took a bus to the army.
When Lin Man returned to the small courtyard where her grandfather worked in the army, she felt that there were too many people and the house was too small. There were only two bedrooms, so Liao Sijie could only sleep on the wooden sofa under the window in the living room.
The living room was filled with miscellaneous items, including several large packages containing clothes, quilts, and seafood that they had sent back earlier.
Lin Man handed the two children to Huo Qingci and started cleaning the house with Liao Sijie.
She first unpacked all the packages, put the quilt into the cage, put the clothes into the closet, hung up all the seafood and salted fish, and put the oysters, shrimps, razor clams, kelp...all these bags back into the cupboard.
Clean the house inside and out and throw away everything that needs to be thrown away. If you don't throw them away, they will just take up space at home.
Huo Li wanted to say something when he saw this, but in the end, he said that if anyone else threw away his "treasures" or garbage, he would definitely lose his temper. But since it was his eldest grandson's wife who threw it away, forget it.
Seeing that Grandpa was hesitant to speak and looked unhappy, Lin Man explained, "Grandpa, those books were half eaten by mice, and the tin box was rusted so I threw it away. I took out the badges in the tin box for you.
I put the stamp album back in the drawer, left the photos under the glass untouched, and wiped the wardrobe, chest of drawers, and desk twice, leaving nothing behind.
"Yeah, I know. Thank you for your hard work."
He is usually alone, and his driver sometimes stays at his place for a night. Men are naturally not as careful as women when it comes to cleaning.
After his grandson's wife did this, the air in the room seemed to smell much better. He didn't want to think about anything else anymore, and just wanted to spend the last few years living a good life with his eldest grandson!
I took my great-grandson out for a walk in the morning, played chess and chatted with the old men in the afternoon, and the day passed quickly.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Qingci and Huo Li went out. Lin Man knew that they were dealing with work transfers.
Huo Qingci transferred his job back to the Space Force, and naturally the household registration of his entire family was also transferred back.
Huo Yining wanted to go out and play, but Huo Yian was sleeping, so Lin Man had no choice but to let Liao Sijie take him out to play.
She took out the books from the space to review. After all, there was only one math teacher and two Chinese teachers, so the chances would definitely be greater. Therefore, she had to review the Chinese and political books for junior high and high school.
At around five o'clock, Huo Qingci and his grandfather came back. Huo Qingci was carrying a coal stove and two thermos bottles, and his grandfather was carrying two iron buckets.
Lin Man looked at what they were holding and asked, "Are we going to use a coal stove to cook in the future?"
"Yes, Grandpa used to eat in the cafeteria. Now that we've moved here, it's not good to go to the cafeteria every day. I'll have someone bring coal over tomorrow."
Lin Man was used to using a wood stove and cooking over high heat. Suddenly she was asked to cook over a coal stove. She was probably not used to it and thought the low heat would make cooking slow.
So she suggested, "How about we build a stove in the back yard? There are so many people at home, and it would be convenient to boil water for bathing. This way we don't have to go to the cafeteria to get water."
Huo Li looked at the people in the room. One coal stove was indeed not enough. It was okay in the summer, but it was troublesome to take a bath in the winter.
"Okay, find someone to build a kitchen and a bathhouse. I'll pay for it."
Huo Qingci said, "Grandpa, we'll pay for this, you should keep the money!"
Huo Li said angrily, "What do I, an old man, need so much money for? I don't need it now, and when I die, I will give it to your father and the others to share."
Huo Qingci knew that his two uncles and aunt had already had objections to his grandfather giving him the courtyard house. Now if his grandfather spent the money on them, they would definitely come and quarrel with him when his grandfather really passed away.

"Grandpa, I've saved a lot of money over the years, so you should keep it! Manman and I can't move in not to take advantage of you, but to take care of your life."
"Okay, stop talking. I know what you're thinking. The money I earn is mine. I can spend it on whoever I want. Your father has no right to interfere, and your uncle and aunt don't dare to make trouble in front of me."
Seeing that his grandfather was so stubborn, Huo Qingci didn't want to argue with him too much. Instead, he put down his things and said, "Grandpa, I'll take Manman to the cafeteria to get food. You can take a rest first."
Huo Qingci took two large enamel bowls and a lunch box in his hands and took Lin Man to the cafeteria to get food.
On the way to the cafeteria, Lin Man asked him, "Have you finished your work?"
"Well, it's done, Manman. I plan to buy another bicycle so that it will be more convenient for commuting."
Lin Man also knew where her grandfather lived. It was at least ten miles away from the hospital where Huo Qingci worked. If he walked to work, it would definitely waste a lot of time, unless he lived in the hospital dormitory.
Lin Man asked, "Qingci, did the hospital allocate you a house?"
"We have allocated a single room, which is about 20 square meters. If Sijie is not here, we can bring the child to live there. There should be no problem putting two beds in the room, and the school is quite close to the hospital." Huo Qingci replied.
Lin Man felt that it was a bit unrealistic. They took the children to live in the hospital’s family building. Grandpa was old and wanted them to be with him. If they moved out, grandpa would definitely be very sad.
No matter what, grandpa left the courtyard house to them, they can't be heartless people!
After taking the good things, they turn their backs on us. Aren't they ungrateful?
After thinking for a while, Lin Man slowly said: "Let's discuss this matter later. Grandpa is old and hopes that we can live with him, so let's stay here!
Ask a friend to help you get a bicycle ticket and ride your bicycle to work every day. You can go home when you have time, but if you work the night shift, you don't have to come back."
"Manman, didn't grandpa say that the junior high school is recruiting teachers? If you go to work there, we can go to and from get off work together." Huo Qingci suggested.
Lin Man smiled and said, "Although there is an opportunity to take the exam, whether or not you can pass is still unknown. I guess once the news is announced, many people will sign up for the exam."
Huo Qingci naturally understood the difficulty. Thinking about this problem, it wasn't just her wife who was involved. Perhaps other people knew about it, too. Those who had attended high school and didn't have a job would probably sign up.
It costs money to buy a job in a factory, but at least you don’t have to spend money if you pass the exam based on your own ability. Who wouldn’t want such a stable job?
"Manman, don't worry. Although I don't know the test questions, I guess they will all be based on textbook knowledge. I'm sure the quotations from the Red Treasure Book will also be tested...
I don't know if the exam questions for recruiting math teachers are the same as those for Chinese teachers. Manman, tell me, do you prefer teaching math or Chinese?
Lin Man wanted to teach math, but there was only one math teacher position available. She was worried about the competition, so she said, "There are two Chinese teachers available. I think my chances are better, so I'll choose Chinese!"
"Well, I hope you can pass the exam, but it doesn't matter if you don't. Once the news is announced, Grandpa will get the registration form for you. We will transfer our household registration, and you will be eligible to apply."
"When will you officially start work?"
"The day after tomorrow, I'll arrange for someone to come build the kitchen and bathhouse, and change Sijie's bed. In the afternoon, I'll take you to the hospital and school."
"good."
The two of them walked and talked, and soon arrived at the cafeteria...
