Sure enough, when the news of the Song family recruiting workers came out, everyone in Daxingtun was shocked.
"Captain, Li Yatou really gave us one dollar salary. She's not lying to us, is she?"
"Yes, Captain, it's Yuejie. Is it really such a good thing?"
Captain Zhao helped post the job recruitment notice, and everyone in the village came to him.
Captain Zhao tapped his pipe, looking proud.
"Of course it's true. Li Yatou helped the food factory to plant trees on the mountain. With a food factory, are you still afraid of fakery?"
Of course they are not afraid. The treatment is so good that they can’t believe it.
"Captain, I'll sign up. We have a large family, so we can take turns working for Li Zi!"
“I’m signing up too!”
Someone takes the lead, and others follow.
Spring comes later in Heilongjiang Province than in other places, but it starts to get warmer after the New Year.
The rocks and weeds on the mountain need to be cleaned up, and it really requires a lot of people. Captain Zhao registered everyone who signed up, and Song Li decided who was needed in the end.
Song Chengye went to work the next day. After he divorced Ding Lanxiang, he had no house to live in, so he lived in the staff dormitory.
But Song Zhichao has to stay at Old Song’s house for now.
"Dad, you'll be back this weekend, right?"
At the entrance of the village, Song Zhichao looked up at Song Chengye with panic in his eyes.
He no longer has the domineering and willful nature he had before.
"Yes, Dad will come back to see you this weekend, so you should stay with your grandparents."
Song Chengye touched his son's head, feeling very distressed, and hated Ding Lanxiang even more.
"Okay, I will be obedient. Dad, go to work."
Song Zhichao curled up the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
His mother doesn't want him, so he only has his father.
Song Chengye left and Zhang Xiu took him home.
Mingze Qingqing and Xiaohua were playing at the door. When they saw him come back, the three little guys looked a little uncomfortable.
Song Zhichao had bullied them a lot before, and now they had to live in Old Song's house. They felt sympathetic but also a little unhappy.
Especially Qingqing and Xiaohua, if Song Zhichao hits them again, will they still complain?
Song Zhichao also looked at them. In the past, people from my grandmother's family said that the Song family was poor and the children of the Song family were little beggars, so he looked down on them and bullied the three children unscrupulously.
But after this incident, Song Zhichao's three views were reshaped.
He Mingze and He Qingqing are more fashionable than the kids in the city. Their father is an officer and can drive a car, but their grandfather and uncle can't.
And Xiaohua, who used to be rustic and timid, has changed now.
Thinking of how he had looked down on them in the past, Song Zhichao lowered his head in shame.
"sorry."
"...What did he say?" Qingqing asked her brother and Xiaohua quietly.
Xiaohua turned her head and whispered in her ear, "He seemed to be saying sorry to us. Maybe we heard it wrongly..."
The two of them thought their voices were low, but Song Zhichao still heard them.
Qingqing and Xiaohua’s reactions made him even more ashamed. “I shouldn’t have laughed at you and broken Qingqing’s toys. I’m sorry.”
After the first apology, the rest of the words will be easier to say.
Zhang Xiu looked at his grandson who admitted his mistakes and corrected them, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.
Fortunately, the eldest brother divorced Ding Lanxiang, otherwise his grandson would be ruined.
"Brother has apologized, Qingqing, can you give him another chance?"
Zhang Xiu took the initiative to mediate. Qingqing frowned, tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded.
"Okay, but if he bullies us again next time, I'll let my brother beat him up."
Mingze’s beating was very painful, and Song Zhichao is still scared.
"I won't!"
"Then we will supervise you."
Qingqing is not a petty child, and Song Zhichao is already very pitiful because he has lost his mother.
"Yes!" Song Zhichao nodded heavily, then asked cautiously, "Can I play with you guys?"
"Okay, can you do Sudoku?"
"What is Sudoku?" Qingqing's words confused Song Zhichao.
He started kindergarten last year. He can count to 100 and recognize dozens of characters, but he has never heard of Sudoku.
"It's this table. We fill in the remaining numbers based on the existing numbers, ensuring that every row and column contains 1-9 without duplication..."
Qingqing taught him the rules and Song Zhichao listened carefully.
This is a small educational game that Song Li gave to the two children. Although Xiaohua is not smarter than the two children, she has learned to play it very well through watching and learning.
Song Zhichao knew numbers and understood things a little faster than her. After playing it twice, he understood the secret of Sudoku. The four children squatted on the ground and had a lot of fun.
Zhang Xiu watched for a while, and seeing that they were having fun, he didn't care anymore and went into the kitchen with a smile on his face.
Li Guizhi was making lunch. A lot of things happened in the Song family during the New Year, but fortunately most of them were good things.
Thinking that she has become a regular employee of the food factory, Li Guizhi has been walking with a breeze these days.
"Second brother's family, give the children a sweet stuffed egg at noon, and add more sugar."
"Okay, make a bowl for my little sister too. She likes sweet food."
Li Guizhi agreed readily, even thinking about Song Li.
The Song family has a good life today thanks to the sister-in-law.
"Okay, you do as you see fit."
With such a sensible daughter-in-law, why would Zhang Xiu be dissatisfied?
It is said that a harmonious family brings prosperity. Only when a family works together can their lives get better and better.
Zhang Xiu was happy, but when he looked at his daughter-in-law's thin body, he paused as he was about to step out of the door.
"You've been busy these days and have worked hard, so make yourself a bowl too."
"I?"
Li Guizhi was shocked. Could she have it too?
Zhang Xiu was used to being a cold-faced mother-in-law, so she was a little uncomfortable being nice to her daughter-in-law for the first time.
"Just eat it if you ask me to. We don't need these two eggs at home."
They are all salaried people, so why would they be worried about not having money to buy eggs in the future?
"Hey! Thank you, Mom. You are so nice to me."
Li Guizhi held the spatula, her heart warmed, and she even wanted to cry.
She worked tirelessly in Old Song's house, and her mother-in-law was watching her.
"Okay, smooth talker, hurry up and cook. Your dad and the others will be back soon."
Zhang Xiu felt uncomfortable with her praise and walked out with his hands behind his back.
The second daughter learned to be sweet-talking from Li Yatou, but why does she enjoy it so much?
Zhang Xiu rubbed his palms and felt that he should be nicer to his daughter-in-law in the future.
The second and third sons of the Song family did not return until around noon. Song Li picked out ten people from the registration list, all of whom were honest, hardworking and had a clean family background. They followed the third son of the Song family to start the business.
They have been working for several days. Although the work is tiring, the three of them are happy. However, they all look unhappy today.
"What's going on? Is there an accident on the mountain?"
When Zhang Xiu saw the faces of his wife and son, his heart skipped a beat.
Song Chenglin put his hoe down at the foot of the wall with a sullen face and said, "Nothing's wrong on the mountain. It's just that damned Wang Dali and a bunch of scoundrels who've come up there to cause trouble. They're insisting we're hiring workers but not them, and they're stopping us from working."
