"It's good that you know it. If you don't study hard, after finishing junior high school, you will be the only one coming back to farm. Your brother and sister all have stable jobs in the city. Don't you think you can be embarrassed?" An Xianghong took the opportunity to teach her son a lesson.
An Zhigang wailed, "Ah! How could this happen?"
"Sister," he suddenly looked at An Caiyun, "When you're working in the county, keep an eye out for job openings for me! I have to go to the county too!"
His sister and brother are both working as laborers, and he's the only one left as a farmer. How can this be? Where can he put his dignity?
An Caiyun smiled and nodded without any hesitation: "Don't worry, if there is any news, I will definitely keep an eye out for you."
As for whether An Caiyun was working as a temporary worker or cleaning, no one cared.
What's wrong with cleaning? Why not clean at home?
As for temporary workers, my grandfather said that they will be converted to regular employees in half a year at most.
After thinking about it, An Zhigang felt that it was not safe. Although his grades were good, they were not outstanding.
He turned around and looked at An Jingzhi with a playful smile: "Grandpa, Sister Caiyun is going to work now. Can you take me with you when you go to see Grandpa Liu next time?" Let's see if Grandpa Liu can also find a friend to help him find a job.
An Jingzhi stretched out his right hand and knocked on his head. An Zhi's neck shrank back in pain, and then he heard An Jingzhi say, "Don't think about these crooked ways."
"Study hard. If your grades aren't good, you won't be able to get the opportunity even if it's right in front of you."
An Zhigang sighed: "Grandpa, you don't know how difficult it is to study."
What made him most uncomfortable was his younger brother Shizheng, who was only a few months younger than him. He had not been to school for several years, but he only gave him extra lessons for more than a month, and now he was the top student in their grade.
"Is it difficult to earn work points in the fields?"
As soon as An Jingzhi opened his mouth, An Zhigang immediately shut up.
Although studying is difficult, it is indeed much easier than earning work points in the fields.
"If you don't study hard now, you'll end up like your father, working in the fields to earn work points."
An Xianghong: "..." Why are you talking about him when nothing happened?
…
The next day was the day the two brothers had to go to school. Since they couldn't ride bicycles, An Jingzhi had no choice but to take a bus to the county.
His granddaughter had to go through the employment procedures on her first day, so he had to go and help.
If Zhao Yuxiu wasn't about to give birth, she would probably have come along.
An Xianghong wanted to come, but taking half a day off would result in a lot of work points being deducted, and this would mean having another child. After thinking it over, he couldn't bear to do it.
In the end, only An Jingzhi took An Caiyun with him.
After helping to arrange a job, assigning a dormitory, and buying some daily necessities, An Jingzhi finally returned home.
Half a month later, Zhao Yuxiu successfully gave birth to a son.
An Xiangjun also rode his bicycle to the county to bring An Caiyun back.
Since there was no mother-in-law to help take care of the child at home, Zhao Yuxiu asked her mother to come and help, and she is now feeding her chicken soup.
"mother!"
When Zhao Yuxiu heard her daughter's voice, she immediately wanted to sit up happily, but her mother held her down with her big hand, "Just lie down and don't make such a fuss. This is your daughter, not a stranger."
Zhao Yuxiu didn't dare to say a word when her mother scolded her.
Looking at her daughter walking in from outside, Zhao Yuxiu felt that there seemed to be something different about her daughter.
After watching for a while, she realized that her spirit was different and she looked completely different from those girls in the village.
He looks very confident without being ostentatious.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Yuxiu finally felt relieved. She had always been worried that her daughter was not living well in the county or was being bullied.
"Why are you back? Why aren't you going to work?" Zhao Yuxiu asked with concern.
"Is work going well? Is anyone bullying you?"
"Is there anything you need? Is your food good? Do you have enough money?"
Listening to her mother's caring words, An Caiyun didn't cry when she left home for the first time and went to work for the first time, but now she couldn't help it and tears kept flowing out.
Her voice was a little choked: "Mom, I'm fine, I'm fine, everyone is very nice to me."
"My work isn't tiring, I just clean the place and eat in the cafeteria. The money and tickets my grandfather gave me are enough."
Zhao Yuxiu also cried: "Okay, okay, my daughter has finally stood up. Good days are still to come."
Zhao Yuxiu's mother immediately scolded her: "It's a good thing, why are you crying? You're still in confinement after childbirth, wipe away your tears and hold them back."
Zhao Yuxiu shuddered subconsciously and wiped away her tears reflexively.
"Grandma." An Caiyun called obediently.
The old lady who was facing Zhao Yuxiu with a stern face couldn't help but grin when she saw An Caiyun's well-behaved appearance and said, "Our Caiyun is also a worker now."
"Let grandma see it quickly."
An Caiyun was a little uncomfortable with her grandmother's intimacy. Although her grandmother was not partial, she had never been so kind to her.
"Grandma knew it. Caiyun looks like a promising person. She has been just like grandma since she was little."
Zhao Yuxiu: “…”
If she remembered correctly, her mother once said that Caiyun was not like her family at all. She was just like An Xianghong, who was very quiet and could not say anything.
After attending class for half a month and seeing the world with her grandfather for half a year, she quickly learned how to coax people and said a few words along the lines of her grandmother.
He was praising grandma's abilities in his words and deeds, saying that she just hadn't encountered the opportunity, otherwise she would have been a worker in the city.
The grandmother was very satisfied with what she heard. Although she was her granddaughter, she would still be proud if her granddaughter was capable.
"Mom, you know my mother-in-law passed away early, so I'd like to trouble you to help take care of me for half a month. I'll give you money, and the food and drink will be at home."
"You can sleep in Caiyun's room with her."
When An Caiyun was born, she was young and had to go to the fields to work after just a few days. This time, she felt as if half her life was gone. After getting her father-in-law's promise and knowing that there was not much work to do in the fields, she was willing to sit for half a month.
"Why should I charge you for taking care of my daughter? Just lie down and relax." Zhao Yuxiu's mother said.
Zhao Yuxiu said, "I know my mother loves me, but since you're here to take care of me, I'm sure you'll have to neglect the housework. If I don't bring some money back, I'm afraid my sisters-in-law will complain, and then there will be discord in the family."
Zhao Yuxiu's mother said impatiently, "Still not getting along? Are they really going to rebel? I'm here to take care of my daughter, what do they have to say? Haven't I taken care of them before?"
"Don't worry about this, just take good care of your confinement."
"Your father-in-law is such a kind man. Now Caiyun has a job and a son, so you have no regrets."
Her daughter was still here, so Zhao Yuxiu didn't want to say much. She just thanked her and said, "Mom, thank you for your help."
At worst, I can give her mother some subsidies later.
