When Li Jiakang and others met Li Qiang and his wife, they welcomed them warmly.
Li Ping looked at the two men's faces and asked, "Brother Qiang, have you been bullied? Why do you look so upset?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jiakang slammed the table, stood up, and shouted, "Who? Who dares to bully anyone from my Li family? Tell uncle, and I'll go find him."
Li Qiang quickly waved his hands, "Uncle, you misunderstood, no one bullied me."
"real?"
"real."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiakang sat back down and asked curiously, "Then why do you two look so unhappy? Didn't you have dinner?"
"I have, uncle. I heard from Xiaohua that you and auntie found two more jobs for our family?"
Everyone was stunned.
Li Jiakang stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "You've been stubborn since you were little, are you thinking of refusing?"
"Ah?" Li Qiang asked in astonishment, "Uncle, how did you guess that?"
Li Jiakang sneered, "You guys, as soon as you stick your butts out, I know what shit you're going to do."
Everyone: ...
Li Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, I won't talk about Xiaohui. I can't make the decision, but I really don't have the face to ask for Xiaohua."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiakang asked directly, "Are you planning to let Xiaohua go back to the countryside to suffer in a few months while you work here?"
"Uncle, to be honest with you, I plan to bring Xiaohua to our factory as an apprentice after I've established myself next year."
Li Ping hesitated and said, "Brother Qiang, the one you are talking about cannot be converted to a regular employee."
"I know. My main goal is to get Xiaohua a city hukou so that our children can also be city dwellers in the future."
At this time, Li Xu suddenly laughed, "Brother Qiang, you are overthinking it."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.
Sun Xiu also spoke, "Xiao Xu, do you know any news?"
Li Xu nodded. "Mom, have you seen any factories hiring since the grain reduction?"
Sun Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know about the others, but those who can enter our factory now only have letters of introduction."
Li Xu continued, "Brother Qiang, have you figured it out? It's a disaster now, and the city is in trouble. Factories generally won't be hiring. To put it bluntly, it's lucky they haven't laid off anyone."
Li Qiang was stunned where he stood.
Sun Xiu stepped forward and said, "Xiao Qiang, you won't refuse this time, right?"
After Li Qiang realized what was happening, he shouted, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."
After saying that, he pulled Qin Hua and kowtowed to the two of them.
Li Jiakang and his companions have now become accustomed to this and are sitting firmly on the throne.
Sun Xiu smiled and said, "I've already kowtowed, and the conditions are still the same as your job."
Since he had already accepted it, Li Qiang agreed directly this time.
Sun Xiu asked, "Xiaohua, I'll get you the letter of introduction. You can take it to start work tomorrow."
Qin Hua quickly postponed it, "Auntie, this won't do. I have to wait until I finish making your clothes before I go."
Li Qiang also agreed, "Yes, Auntie, let's wait for Xiaohua to finish making the clothes."
Li Jiakang laughed heartily and said, "Okay, then I'll go after the clothes are finished."
Sun Xiu asked again, "What about the letter of introduction? Do you plan to take it now or leave it with me first?"
Qin Hua said, "Auntie, I'll leave it here for now. I'll come back to get it when I finish making the clothes."
Sun Xiu nodded. "Okay, then wait until the time comes and have your uncle talk to your dad. Have your dad take Xiaohui and you two to go through the paperwork to avoid any trouble."
Li Qiang and the other man nodded in agreement.
A few more days passed.
It was already the end of the month, and Qin Hua and the others had finished making the clothes.
In the evening, everyone was overjoyed holding their clothes.
They all praised the two for their good craftsmanship.
Li Chen couldn't wait to put it on on the spot.
Then he was scolded again.
Sun Xiu said to Qin Hua, "Xiaohua, you've been really tired during this period. Auntie is here to thank you."
Others also echoed.
Qin Hua quickly said, "Auntie, you're slapping me in the face. Not to mention your family's help to us, even this time you made us two sets of clothes. I should be the one thanking you."
Li Qiang also said, "Yes, we should be the ones to thank you."
At this moment, he was holding the clothes and couldn't let them go.
Li Jiakang smiled and said, "Alright, alright, we're all family, there's no need to say thank you."
Sun Xiu nodded, "Yes, yes, that's enough. Everyone can wear one set of clothes first, and save the other set for the New Year."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Anyway, you can wear it outside or inside.
It can be considered as wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year.
Although the conditions are not right, there must always be a sense of ceremony.
Li Jiakang looked at it for a while and said, "Second brother, put down the clothes and come with me to your second uncle's house. Now that the clothes are made, you can start working. It's just the right time to bring them some food."
Li Xu nodded, put the clothes back in his room and walked out.
This time it was Li Jiakang who rode the bike again.
There is no way, the 28-inch bar is still not very friendly to Li Xu now...
Well, it’s mainly because I’m not used to the way of riding a bike.
After the two arrived at Li Jiafu's house.
It just so happened that their family was talking in the main room.
Now that they are not short of food, they naturally don't need to go to bed early like others to reduce consumption.
Everyone said hello.
After handing over the grain, Li Jiakang asked, "Has anyone come to borrow grain during this period?"
Li Jiafu also smiled and said, "No."
Li Jiakang nodded, "That's fine. Besides delivering food this time, I have something else to tell you."
"Brother, just tell me what's going on."
"This time, our family has secured two more job openings, and we've decided to give them to Xiaohui and Xiaohua. Xiaohua has already told us that we're here today because we want you to pack Xiaohui's things. Take her to the city in the next few days and help them with the paperwork. It's not always safe for two girls to be on the road."
Upon hearing this, several adults in the room stood up immediately.
Li Hui was also at a loss and didn't know where to put her hands.
Duan Xiaoyun stepped forward and said, "Brother, how can we take these two spots?"
Li Jiakang waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're all family."
Several people looked at each other.
Then Li Jiafu asked, "Brother, how about my sister-in-law?"
"The two places your sister-in-law mentioned are for you."
When Li Jiafu heard this, he immediately shouted, "Xiaohui, come here and kowtow to your uncle."
Li Hui took two steps at a time and walked up to Li Jiakang, then knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Li Xu: ...
It was obvious that she was also extremely grateful at this moment.
