Chapter 240 Arrangement

"Isn't that enough?"

When Brother Liu saw the braised pork, his eyes widened. "At home, we can only eat 50% to 60% full in one meal."

During the cat winter, villagers do not have to work in the fields.

Even in good years, food should be eaten sparingly.

But since they had already bought it, they had no choice but to eat it to their heart's content.

At this moment, Brother Liu seemed to be in good spirits. After talking with Liu Yinyin in the morning, he felt much better.

The doctor checked and found that Brother Liu was in good health.

After lunch, a few people packed up and prepared to be discharged from the hospital.

The cart that was brought in yesterday was still outside the hospital. Just like yesterday, Liu Lai Fu and Liu Er Ge took turns pulling the cart.

Liu Yinyin followed behind, pushing her bicycle.

The sun is warm and it’s not cold walking on the road.

Liu Yinyin looked around and the weather looked pretty good this year.

The weather is getting warmer and the snow on the road has almost melted.

And in the river...the snow in the river has also melted.

Last year, it snowed for several months, completely solving the problem of drying up water sources.

The rivers and lakes were filled with water, and the dry soil was moistened.

Even if it doesn't rain, there will be no total loss of crops this year.

When everyone got home, Jiang Cuihua started to prepare lunch.

The house has been divided now, but the room that was planned to be given to Mrs. Liu as a kitchen has not yet been built.

Mrs. Liu had no place to cook.

Therefore, the Liu family's kitchen is now shared by two families, and the two sides cook at different times.

Jiang Cuihua thought that Liu Laifu and his two sons would be back late, so she asked Mrs. Liu to prepare lunch first.

"You're being discharged from the hospital so soon? What did the doctor say? Are you okay?" Jiang Cuihua asked three questions in a row.

"It's okay, just take care of him." Liu Laifu glanced at the old house and said hesitantly, "Which room will Mingcheng live in?"

The couple is in such a mess now, I don’t know how Mrs. Liu can live.

As a father-in-law, he was naturally embarrassed to ask his daughter-in-law such questions.

Jiang Cuihua glared at him and said, "Of course he should sleep in his own room. Otherwise, where else would he sleep in the house?"

As parents, no one wants their children to get divorced.

Although the eldest son did such a wrong thing, Jiang Cuihua also hopes that the eldest son and his wife can reconcile as before.

How can one not make mistakes in life?

Life is not easy for a husband and wife. I hope the eldest daughter-in-law can give her son a chance to reform.

If we sleep separately, how can we quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed?

Liu Laifu: "......"

He glanced at his eldest son and seeing that he didn't react, he asked the second and third sons to help him back to the room.

Jiang Cuihua said with satisfaction: "You guys go back to the room and wait for a while, lunch has just started. Yinyin, you can stay here and eat too. I steamed a bowl of egg custard for Yanyan."

Liu Laifu coughed twice and said, "Well... we have already eaten, so you can make less lunch and don't prepare our portion."

"I've eaten it. Where did you eat it?" Jiang Cuihua was slightly stunned.

Liu Laifu nodded and said, "Yinyin bought food at the state-owned hotel."

As for what he ate, he didn't say.

Jiang Cuihua grumbled, "It's so expensive to eat in a state-owned hotel. Why spend that money?"

Liu Yinyin parked her bike and said in a serious tone, "Mom and Dad, there is something I want to tell you."

Jiang Cuihua wiped her hands and asked in confusion: "What's the matter? Just tell me."

Liu Yinyin pondered and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Seeing the lady's serious look, Liu Lai Fu and Jiang Cui Hua were confused for a moment.

However, they still followed Liu Yinyin's instructions and went into the house to talk.

Liu Yinyin didn't beat around the bush and told the old couple directly that Gu Chengxin Military District was recruiting.

Liu Yinyin told them truthfully: "There are two jobs, one in a state-owned hotel and one in a military canteen. Both are temporary jobs at first, but after working for a long time, they can be converted to regular employees."

"We don't know exactly what the salary is, but Gu Cheng said it should be better than what workers in the county town get."

"What Gu Cheng and I said is that the job at the state-owned hotel can be given to the eldest brother, and the other job...it depends on what you think, parents. It can be given to the second or third brother."

It’s not that she’s afraid of offending people, they are all her brothers, and Liu Yinyin really doesn’t know who to give the job to.

Although she has a good relationship with her third brother on weekdays, Huang Xiaoyue is pregnant now and is about to give birth.

It would not be appropriate for Liu Mingyuan to leave at this critical juncture.

Huang Xiaoyue probably wouldn't be happy about it either.

Liu Laifu and Jiang Cuihua were both so shocked that they were speechless.

The two looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.

Jiang Cuihua was stunned for a long time, and said incredulously: "...You already have a job? Yinyin, is this what your son-in-law wanted, or did you ask him for help?"

Country people didn't have many job opportunities to begin with, and now there were two of them. Jiang Cuihua couldn't even imagine it.

Liu Yinyin said with shame: "Mom, it was Gu Cheng who took the initiative to say that the new military area is short of manpower and now is the time to hire people."

"If we are late, we might not have the chance, so this matter is quite urgent. If you want some brothers to go, you must hurry up and discuss who should go."

"Gu Cheng said that we need to join the army within a week."

Jiang Cuihua was a little surprised: "Are you so anxious?"

Liu Yinyin nodded: "Yes, I am very anxious, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to tell you about this."

Jiang Cuihua had mixed feelings, some were happy, some were worried, she couldn't help but ask: "Yinyin, is this job dangerous?"

They all came from chaotic times. For ordinary people, war is the most terrifying thing, even more terrifying than famine.

Liu Yinyin was embarrassed: "It shouldn't be... that's not the case. That's a military area, not a battlefield. How dangerous is that? Besides, they are just working in the cafeteria."

Jiang Cuihua was quite conflicted. On the one hand, job opportunities were indeed rare.

But...the army is too far away. If my two sons go to work there, wouldn't it be difficult for them to see each other in the future?

In her heart, she still hopes that her sons can stay by her side. It doesn't matter if the family is a little poor or hard, as long as everyone is safe.

Jiang Cuihua couldn't help but glance at Liu Lai Fu.

For such important matters, Liu Lai Fu, the head of the family, has the final say.

Liu Laifu was silent for a moment, then said with a serious face: "Go, of course you should go. This is a rare opportunity. Having a job is better than working in the fields for a lifetime."

If you leave home, you leave home. How can there be happiness without bitterness? It's also good to go out and have some fun.

Liu Lai Fu is a grown man, so naturally he hopes that his son can have a bright future.
