"Brother Chuan is looking for a wife from the city who can't even understand our language."
A young girl muttered in dialect.
The old lady opposite glared at her and said, "There's nothing good about our place. You should go to the city to make a living. Communicate more with your sister-in-law and work in a big city in the future."
Although I don't understand most dialects, I can still understand what young people say.
Lu Jie felt that what his grandmother said made sense, so he smiled kindly at Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Sister-in-law, my grandma said this is your first time here, so she'll treat you well."
Ye Xiaoxiao also said to the old lady: "I am very grateful for your care these days."
These past few days, Ye Xiaoxiao and his friends had been going to the home of Mr. Lu's cousin for meals, and they didn't even cook at home.
"Sister-in-law, if you want to go out and play, I can take you there. I know where to go."
Lu Jie is just two years old this year. She finished high school but failed to get into college. She is now assigned to a local primary school as a Chinese teacher.
But now this job can only bring her an average income.
It would be great if we could go to the capital.
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Okay, let's go out for a walk."
Lu Jie speaks very good Mandarin, and Ye Xiaoxiao can communicate with him/her without any obstacles.
Ye Xiaoxiao felt at ease going out with the other person and they could even chat.
However, the temperature outside is still very cold. At least an electric heater can be placed in the house, and outside, one can only rely on one's righteousness to bear the cold.
The shops in the county town were open, but it was not warm inside. Ye Xiaoxiao bought some things and came back.
Having lived in their hometown for such a long time, they didn’t bring much with them, so it’s only right for them to buy some gifts for everyone now.
While on the road, Lu Jie finally asked Ye Xiaoxiao the answer.
"Sister-in-law, do you think I can find a job in Beijing?"
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Jie, "You can definitely find a job, but you are a teacher, right? Teacher positions in Beijing are allocated separately, and many local normal school graduates may not be able to stay in Beijing."
The reason why it is so difficult to find a job nowadays is that there are not so many jobs and the number of schools is relatively small.
Lu Jie had a good job teaching in the county seat and there was no need for him to go to the capital.
Lu Jie was a little disappointed, "I just want to go to a big city to see the world."
땤And the Lu family has relatives in the capital.
For someone like Mr. Lu, it would be no problem for him to arrange a job for his relatives.
Ye Xiaoxiao also thought of this, and seeing that Lu Jie didn't mention it again, she thought about talking to Lu Hanchuan about it when she returned.
Although she was curious why Lu Jie didn't go directly to Lu Hanchuan to talk.
When the two of them returned, Lu Hanchuan was waiting for Ye Xiaoxiao at the door.
"Going out to play?"
"I went for a walk down the street."
Lu Hanchuan took the things from Ye Xiaoxiao's bag, and Ye Xiaoxiao told him that the other bag contained gifts for everyone.
"I'll go with you there in a bit."
Lu Jie was a little scared when she saw Lu Hanchuan. She was not familiar with this brother at all. She didn't say a few words to him and ran away in a hurry.
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Did you know that Lu Jie wants to go to Beijing to find a job?"
Lu Hanchuan shook his head: "I haven't heard her mention it, I'll ask her parents."
It was easy to arrange a job for Lu Jie, but we had to consider his food, clothing, housing, transportation and safety after he arrived in Beijing.
If it was just Lu Jie's own idea, he would not agree to help the other party.
If Lu Jie's parents and family members want him to go to Beijing to try his luck, then it is possible to help him arrange a job.
As for what happens after work, the other party will be responsible for it.
After hearing what Lu Hanchuan said, Ye Xiaoxiao decided not to interfere in the matter anymore.
After all, they are still relatives of the Lu family.
땤She just got married and doesn't know anything.
When Lu Hanchuan went to have dinner at the home of Mr. Lu's cousin in the evening, he asked about this matter.
"I heard that Lu Jie wants to go to the capital?"
Lu Jie's father was the one who came to pick up Lu Gui that day.
The other party was not good at speaking, but he was an honest man. "Beijing is a big city. We want Lu Jie to go there and take a look."
This was the first time that Master Lu heard about this. He looked at Lu Gui and said, "Lu Jie works in the county. If he goes to the capital, he will have to give up his work here."
Lu Gui nodded, obviously he had already considered it.
Mr. Lu did not think this was a difficult task. "We can take Lu Jie with us this time. If you all agree, you must be mentally prepared.
Life in the capital may not be as easy as you imagine. ”
Mr. Lu's cousin also spoke.
"Cousin, we support Lu Jie to go to Beijing. We are very grateful that you can help him find a job. If he encounters other problems, we will not blame anyone."
Mr. Lu said: "If that's the case, let's take Lu Jie back with us this time."
Lu Jie stood up and thanked his uncle and cousin.
This matter was settled.
After finishing her meal, Ye Xiaoxiao took a stroll in the yard and saw Lu Jie's sister-in-law washing dishes in the kitchen.
She was a very thin woman. Ye Xiaoxiao had been there several times, but had never seen her eating at the dinner table. It was only after asking Lu Jie that she found out who she was.
Ye Xiaoxiao stood at the door of the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"
The woman was washing dishes, and perhaps she heard what Ye Xiaoxiao was saying, so she accidentally broke a bowl.
Immediately, several voices in an incomprehensible dialect were heard from the yard.
"You're so stupid! You can't even wash dishes!"
It was Lu Jie's mother who came over after hearing the noise, and she was speaking in a mixture of dialects.
Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao standing at the door, she immediately put on a smiling face.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here? It's dirty inside. Go sit in the main room."
The other party tried to slow down his tone as much as possible, and Ye Xiaoxiao could understand some of it.
"Well, why doesn't sister-in-law eat with us every day?"
Mother Lu Jie: “She is not feeling well.”
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't understand what was said, and Lu Hanchuan came out of the house just then.
“Who’s feeling unwell?”
Ye Xiaoxiao: "It seems to be the sister-in-law."
Seeing Lu Hanchuan coming out, Lu Jie's mother spoke faster and said something.
Judging from the other party's actions, Ye Xiaoxiao seemed to be asking them to go back to the house and not stay here.
Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to leave with Lu Hanchuan.
After all, it's someone else's home, so the guest should follow the host's wishes.
But when they returned to the old house, Ye Xiaoxiao still asked, "Why doesn't my sister-in-law sit at the table every time we eat, and she also washes the dishes?"
Ye Xiaoxiao even wondered if the other party had eaten.
Lu Hanchuan didn't care about this detail. "No, I think Uncle Lu Gui's family is quite kind. They shouldn't abuse their daughter-in-law."
Ye Xiaoxiao: "I just think it's a bit strange, and I can't understand what they are saying. You can ask tomorrow to see if your sister-in-law is really sick. I can help take a look."
Lu Hanchuan: “Okay.”
So when they went to eat the next day, Lu Hanchuan asked, "Why doesn't sister-in-law come over to eat with us?"
