Chapter 1015: The couple can no longer make ends meet
There are people who like to chat and joke around.
He asked Baichuan in broken Mandarin whether he was afraid of his father or his mother.
Who is more powerful at home, dad or mom?
Lu Miao went to the fields twice, but each time he made a fool of himself and caused trouble, so he stopped going there.
Summer rain comes quickly and goes away quickly.
After two or three days, the muddy road began to dry out and crack again.
Fu Jingyou rode his bike to the county, and when he came back, Hu Zhiyuan followed him.
When he saw Lu Miao at home, Hu Zhiyuan couldn't help but say the same words:
"You guys are becoming more and more insincere. You never even say hello every time you come back!"
Lu Miao smiled and brought a chair for him to sit down:
"Why bother with all that nonsense? Isn't it enough to just be close to each other?"
One of the couple was riding a bicycle outside, while the other was entertaining guests inside.
Tian Guihua assisted and quickly made a cup of brown sugar water and handed it to Hu Zhiyuan.
Hu Zhiyuan smiled and quickly reached out to take it:
"Thank you, thank you, thank you sister-in-law!"
After everyone was seated, they started talking about business.
Hu Zhiyuan said:
"Brother Xiao Fu told me when I came here that there are cacti in many places in the village, but I've never paid attention to cochineal insects before..."
After a brief pause, Hu Zhiyuan continued:
"What can it be used for? If you need it urgently, I'll go around and ask around in the next couple of days."
"It's not urgent, but this matter is also very important."
Lu Miao pondered for a moment and continued:
"This insect can be used to extract a high-quality natural pigment powder. Its uses are quite extensive."
Lu Miao didn't go into details, but Hu Zhiyuan could probably understand some of it.
Hu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and nodded:
"Okay, I get it. It just so happens that I have to go to the countryside to do some work during the Dragon Boat Festival. I'll stop by and ask how long you'll be staying at home this time. Whether there's any news or not, I'll come over and tell you everything."
Lu Miao looked at Fu Jingyou, and Fu Jingyou said carefully:
"It's still early. I won't go to the capital until around mid-July."
Hu Zhiyuan was delighted when he heard this:
"It's still early! I haven't been back long since the New Year, so it's not even too late to invite you over for New Year's wine. Now that I'm home longer, I can probably invite you over for dinner, right?"
"If you want to keep in touch, just come over for dinner. We won't go to the county to avoid causing a stir and causing trouble."
Lu Miao interrupted in time, paused, and added:
“And the situation now is a little different from the past.”
In the past, it could barely be said that it was to maintain legitimate official relations.
Now that they both have lost that title, if they go to the county and cause a stir, it will be embarrassing if they are invited, and it will also be embarrassing if they are not invited. Why create all that trouble?
"ah?"
Hu Zhiyuan was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
We have known each other for many years. Although we don’t meet often, we still have a relationship.
Fu Jingyou did not hide it from Hu Zhiyuan. He raised his chin towards Lu Miao and confessed to Hu Zhiyuan:
"We both quit our jobs at state-owned enterprises. Now, if we insist on calling ourselves self-employed, our status is different than before, and it's difficult to socialize with county leaders."
"What?"
Hu Zhiyuan was struck by lightning.
Even though Hu Zhiyuan was a mixed-employment worker, he was from a small place...
Hu Zhiyuan's ideas are actually not much different from He Hongjin's.
Hu Zhiyuan couldn't understand, and after a long pause he asked:
"Last time you came back, you weren't very willing to interact with people from the county. Was it already that time..."
Fu Jingyou nodded.
There were indeed problems with his work environment at that time.
"Why!"
Hu Zhiyuan slapped his thigh and sighed regretfully:
"It's hasty, too hasty! If being a cadre in the city is not easy, can't we apply for a recall to the countryside? Even if it's a two-level demotion?"
Lu Miao said with a smile:
"Alright, it's not a life-threatening matter. There's nothing to worry about. Besides, isn't it already a fact? Let's forget about it."
Besides, how can a callback be made just like that?
It's not that simple.
Lu Miao's words were meant to comfort Hu Zhiyuan, but after hearing them, Hu Zhiyuan only felt more depressed.
Why isn't it worth cherishing?
How many department-level officials are there in the county?
Others are trying their best to get on but can't, so they just say they don't want to do it?
But after thinking about it, Hu Zhiyuan became more open-minded.
People are different.
Like him, all he wants is the dignity and stability of a stable job.
But this little brother Fu is different from his sister. Even if he doesn't want to be a cadre, he can still find other ways out. His dignity may not be worse than theirs.
They had originally planned to have lunch here, but thinking about these things, Hu Zhiyuan stood up immediately.
Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou also stood up:
"Why are you leaving so soon? The meal isn't ready yet."
"Let's eat next time. I'm going to go out and find out about that cochineal thing..."
Hu Zhiyuan shook his head and walked out:
"You have your own plans for work, so I can't say anything. I just hope I can handle this little thing you mentioned..."
Hu Zhiyuan held the front of the bicycle, kicked the stand away, and said to Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou:
"Just resign if you want to. You can make more money and live a rich life in the future."
Lu Miao was stunned for two seconds, then turned around and looked at Fu Jingyou blankly.
This is because they are worried that their lives will fall into poverty after they resign and they will not be able to make ends meet!
How to say it?
Weird feeling...
There is a beautiful misunderstanding here.
But in extreme cases, it can best reflect whether the person you are interacting with in interpersonal relationships is a human or a ghost.
This incident can at least show Hu Zhiyuan's precious and sincere friendship.
It's just that every family lives their life, and some of them are humble and say it to others.
Few people would ever tell others how wealthy their family is.
This matter was difficult to explain, so Lu Miao didn't waste any more words on it.
He just thanked Hu Zhiyuan several times and asked him to come to his house for dinner when he was free, regardless of whether he had any letter or not.
Hu Zhiyuan smiled and agreed readily.
Under the gaze of the young couple, he rode his bicycle, rang the bell, and soon rode away.
"call……"
Lu Miao let out a deep breath, turned around to look at the child's father beside him and said:
"I think it's okay to go. You can figure out which people are worth making close friends with and which ones you should cut off contact with as soon as possible."
Fu Jingyou shook his head and said:
"It's something you only see once every eight hundred years. Why would it be worth the effort?"
"Hmm..." Lu Miao thought for a moment and nodded gently.
"Too."
People look at the big picture, and birds fly high.
People in this organizational system understand what "upward communication" means better than anyone else.
The two of them were no longer going that way.
Even if people don't want to pay attention to them, it's okay.
It's all understandable.
