Chapter 1011: Report good news but not bad news
"well!"
He Hongjin was almost lost after being called "Grandpa".
He quickly stopped talking, picked up the sturdy little boy and went to the room to get the radio:
"I'll turn on the radio for you!"
Lu Miao shook his head and laughed helplessly.
Chen Guifen came in afterwards, and Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou shouted together:
"Aunt."
“Hey, hey hey!”
Chen Guifen responded quickly.
On the way back just now, I thought I had misheard, but I didn’t expect that the young couple really came back.
Chen Guifen was so happy that she quickly picked up the bag of brown sugar to make the sugar water.
After being stopped by Lu Miao, he hurriedly called Tian Guihua to go to the kitchen to cook:
"Haven't you eaten yet? I'll go get you something to eat first. We can talk about anything after you finish eating and rest!"
Lu Miao stayed at the He family, chatting and cooking with Chen Guifen and the others.
Fu Jingyou and He Hongjin, who held Baichuan like a treasure, took the key and went to the Fu family together.
Fu Jingyou and Lu Miao came back with their youngest son. The old couple were happy, but it was just as He Hongjin said.
It’s not the middle of the year, and it’s not the end of the year.
When they came back at this time, He Hongjin was very sensitive and noticed a hint of something.
On the way to Fu's house, He Hongjin and Bai Chuan rubbed their faces against each other, looking very intimate.
But after the joy, He Hongjin asked Fu Jingyou in a serious tone:
"Why did you come back so suddenly at this time? Is there something wrong? Did Minmin cause you any trouble?"
"No, Miaomiao sent Minmin to the cultural center to learn crafts from the master. She's doing fine."
"oh……"
He Hongjin thought about it and said "Oh".
I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what a cultural center is.
It just sounds like a place where scholars hang out.
But then again, He Hongjin asked:
"What's the reason?"
He Hongjin was happy to have the young couple back.
But the couple has always been busy with work.
It's obviously abnormal to come back at this time.
He Hongjin sighed softly and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
The news of Fu Jingyou's resignation was not told to the old couple at the beginning.
It’s not for any other reason, it’s just that I feel that since we are far away, there’s no need to let them know and worry about me.
But that was before.
It’s different now.
He is back.
Even if the old couple think too much, he can explain and comfort them.
"The atmosphere in the factory was bad, so I resigned and took a break for a while..."
Knowing that He Hongjin had already noticed the clues, Fu Jingyou did not hide anything and told everything:
"My father-in-law got another house in northern Beijing. I've been busy renovating it for the past two months. I just finished the first few days and was planning to look for a job. But now that I've started working, it's probably going to be hard to find time to come back by the end of the year. So, I decided to come back first."
Fu Jingyou took a breath and continued:
"It's a busy season, and my return is just the right time for me to help you and Auntie with some things."
Fu Jingyou had his own considerations, but He Hongjin immediately exploded when he heard what he said.
"You work diligently. What does this have to do with the culture? If other workers are dishonest and the factory wants to fire them, that's their business. But if you're honest, isn't that enough? Can't you just give up your stable job just like that?"
He Hongjin shook his head, and when he heard Fu Jingyou talking about coming back to work for him, he scolded him with a fierce face:
"Am I in my seventies or eighties and can't do it anymore? There's only so much to do in the village, why do you have to come back?"
Fu Jingyou knew that He Hongjin said these words because he was worried about him.
But in the end, he could only sigh and say:
"Uncle, this isn't as simple as you think. When you were the production team leader, if you spoke harshly, there would be no doubt that some troublemakers in the village would come out and complain. The situation in the state-owned factories in the big cities is even worse than in the countryside."
If Fu Jingyou is really a factory worker, then it would be easy to deal with. He just needs to focus on his work.
But he is in management.
Top management has its own difficulties.
If I tell this to others, they might think it is a polite refusal to curry favor with me. How can they believe it is the truth?
But He Hongjin is not someone else.
Fu Jingyou brought up the facts that happened when He Hongjin was the production team leader, and He Hongjin immediately understood the truth.
After a brief silence, He Hongjin sighed deeply and asked a few soul-searching questions uncertainly:
"So what's going on now? Is it really that easy to find a job in the city? You came back this time because you quit your job, but where's that stubborn girl? She's always busy with work, so why did she come back with you?"
“…”
Fu Jingyou hesitated for a moment, then threw out a bigger thunderbolt:
"I haven't told you and Auntie that Miaomiao has also resigned..."
"What?"
"That all happened before winter last year."
"What? You guys, you guys, this, this, this..."
He Hongjin just felt dizzy.
Fu Jingyou quickly explained:
"Although they are all resigning, Miaomiao's situation is more complicated. Her supervisor has been trying to mediate, so it should be possible for her to return to work later."
He Hongjin said anxiously with a dark face:
"What about before you go back? Don't you have any long-term plans? No matter how difficult the work is, at least there must be someone on duty! Otherwise, how will this whole family eat and drink?"
People in the countryside can still farm and grow some food to make a living.
Land is very expensive in the city, how can it be the same?
Especially since they brought Minmin with them at this time, there was another mouth to feed...
He Hongjin became more and more worried as he thought about it, and continued to ask:
"So how did you get food and shelter for the past year or so? Did you rely on your father-in-law?"
The more I think about it, the more I think so.
Just as they reached the door of the Fu family, He Hongjin held the child in one hand and quickly freed up one hand to grab Fu Jingyou, stopping him from unlocking the door.
"No, no, you better buy a ticket and go back now! There's not much work for you at home, so go back to Beijing and find a job..."
"Oh uncle, it's not that serious!"
Fu Jingyou pulled his hand back, inserted the key into the hole, unlocked it neatly, pulled the chain, and pushed open the door:
"I've worked in the factory for so long, and I can't save a little with a salary of two or three hundred yuan a month? Don't worry, besides, Miaomiao still has a factory under her control."
Although the situation is not good, it has not reached that point yet.
Fu Jingyou entered the house first, and He Hongjin stood at the door of the main room and watched.
Baichuan in his arms twisted and turned and wanted to get off, so He Hongjin had to bend down and put the little boy on the ground.
Xiao Baichuan was running around the house, looking around curiously.
"Don't tell me you only report good news and not bad news. What are you trying to do to deceive an old man like me?"
He Hongjin frowned and looked after the child, humming in doubt:
"If there really is such a factory, why are you coming back here if you're not going to keep an eye on it? What if something goes wrong? A factory is like a job; you can just give it up if you want to?"
"Uncle, don't you know my character?"
Fu Jingyou shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Baichuan coming out from under the table with dust on his forehead, Fu Jingyou lowered his eyebrows and picked up the boy with a "tsk" sound.
