Everyone admires Xiang Liwei for being able to pass the exam to become a teacher. This position is indeed one in a hundred. Some people are even thinking about introducing a good girl to Xiang Liwei.
Having a job is really popular, at least in this era it is proof of a stable job.
Faced with these flattering words from the neighbors, Yuan Huimei did not feel proud, but was very modest: "My little kid doesn't know anything, please bear with me."
No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, at least they are still happy in front of Yuan Huimei. They eat plums and say that they will help Xiang Liwei.
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and sometimes relatives do not interact as often as neighbors.
If they help Xiang Liwei now, maybe this young man can help them in the future.
As long as Xiang Liwei has a job as a primary school teacher, these neighbors generally won't offend him for the sake of their children's good future.
Someone else jokingly said, "Liwei's mother, Liwei hasn't gotten engaged in his hometown, right? Why don't you take a look at my niece?"
"Why should I look at your niece? You don't even pick up the horizontal needles or twist the vertical needles. Look at my niece. She's a virtuous housewife!"
A group of middle-aged women started to match people up with each other, all laughing and joking.
They each held a handicraft, their hands moving non-stop, and they did not forget to introduce the young man to a marriage.
If this can be done, it will be at least two dollars as a matchmaker fee. After all, it's just a matter of talking and doesn't require any investment.
Moreover, they have good matchmaking skills and have established a reputation as matchmakers in the surrounding area, so more people will come to them for pairings in the future.
I'm free anyway, and I can earn some extra income by chatting. Who would turn it down?
Of course, Yuan Huimei wants to have a city wife, and it would be best if her father-in-law's family could give Xiang Liwei some support, but those are just her own thoughts and she would not say them out loud to make people laugh.
She tactfully declined: "Oh, my son has just started teaching and is still young, so let's not consider this for now."
Yuan Huimei's meaning was very clear. Xiang Liwei had not yet established a foothold in the county and did not want to delay the girl.
The aunties thought about it and immediately slowed down their pace: "Yes, Liwei's mother is right, the child is still young, we can wait and see."
They were too impatient. It was very difficult for girls in the city to get jobs and stay in the city, so when they met an outstanding young man like Xiang Liwei, they wanted to settle down first.
Think about it, men with minor disabilities in the county town are all vying to be husbands, which shows how attractive it is to not go to the countryside.
Those who can fight their way out from the crowd of people in the county town and rural areas and get a job and settle down in the city are all smart and talented people. It is no wonder that they want to seize the opportunity.
Yuan Huimei chatted with these people about some family matters and obtained some information, which she secretly wrote down.
Seeing that Xiang Tiezhu had finished renovating the house, he began to call Yuan Huimei to get ready to go home. She said goodbye to these aunties with a smile and was polite and courteous.
Try your best to leave a good impression on the neighbors, hoping that they can give your son some convenience.
The two of them ate some dry food. At noon, Xiang Liwei came back and Yuan Huimei told her son all the news she had heard.
Xiang Liwei listened to his mother chattering about family matters and took notes seriously.
Although I don’t know where Yuan Huimei got this information, I can imagine how much energy, manpower and material resources her parents put into it.
He didn't want to disappoint his parents, so he decided to take it seriously.
It wasn't until the elementary school class was about to start that Xiang Tiezhu and Yuan Huimei finally stopped talking, still wanting to say something more: "Gangpao, go to class. Don't worry about the family. Be obedient."
Xiang Liwei's pretending to be mature showed a hint of exasperation: "Mom, I told you not to call me by my nickname outside. It would be so embarrassing if someone heard it."
The two sisters in my family are fine, their nicknames are the same as their real names, Juanjuan and Miaomiao.
The nicknames of the two brothers are interesting. The second brother Xiang Liwei's nickname is Steel Cannon, and the youngest brother Xiang Lizheng's nickname is Steel Helmet, which is quite special in the village.
When I was a kid, I didn't mind calling him by his nickname, but now that he's grown up, it sounds a bit funny.
Pretending to hit herself on the mouth, Yuan Huimei put the backpack on his back and said, "Yes, it's all my fault for being too talkative. Liwei, go to class and don't quarrel with others!"
Xiang Liwei finally regained his previous calm and composed demeanor: "Then be careful on your way back. I will work hard."
He had crossed the single-plank bridge amidst the battles of thousands of people, and finally got this job. He would definitely not treat it casually, as he had to rely on it to make a living.
Xiang Tiezhu and Yuan Huimei sent their son to school, and the couple couldn't stop worrying at the door.
This son is very good at studying. He seems a little stupid because of studying and doesn't understand social interactions. However, he is indeed well-educated. I don't know if he will be successful as a teacher.
There was nothing they could do about their worries. The couple looked back every few steps, still worried, and finally returned to the guesthouse.
They took the empty cart home. Although they had to travel day and night, they were full of anticipation for their future life.
On the way back, I walked to the gate of the county town and saw someone selling cakes, so I planned to buy two bags so that my children who were still at home could taste the flavor of the county town.
When Xiang Tiezhu reached into his pocket to buy something, he was stunned. He slowly took out a wad of money, confused.
The denominations of this stack of money are of different sizes. If you count carefully, there are more than ten yuan, and there are also a few food coupons mixed in.
