When I woke up, it was already noon.
Although Gao Zheng and I took turns keeping watch and sleeping outside, we were sleeping in the open air, deep in the mountains and forests, and this time we went even deeper, so how could we sleep soundly?
When I get home, I have nothing to worry about and I sleep soundly.
"Wife." Han Guobin shouted while lying on the kang.
My wife and son are not here.
Chen Rou was talking to Zhou Zhen outside. When she heard him calling, she said something to Zhou Zhen and then brought little Han Hang in.
"Get up and drink some water and get ready for lunch." Chen Rou said.
She made pork ribs stewed with potatoes. Han Guobin brought back several ribs and a piece of meat in the morning. They could be kept even in cold weather, so she chopped two ribs and stewed them with potatoes, and saved the rest for now.
Han Guobin reached out and took little Han Hang. Little Han Hang, who was more than four months old, was already very smart. He also recognized his father and started to smile.
"You're laughing so happily." Han Guobin said with a smile.
"I'm glad to see his father." Chen Rou smiled, poured him a cup of warm water, and then let the father and son play while she went to bring the food into the house.
Pork ribs stewed with potatoes, corn pancakes, and an egg drop soup.
Han Guobin put little Han Hang on the kang and let him play with it by himself, while the couple ate on the kang.
"Eat more. The meat will be distributed the day after tomorrow. There will be plenty to eat then, and there will be a lot left in the kitchen." Chen Rou said as she picked up some ribs for him.
Han Guobin said as he ate: "Wife, I'm afraid I have to go to the provincial capital tomorrow."
"What are you going to the provincial capital for?" Chen Rou looked at him.
"Eat first, and talk after that." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou didn't ask at first. After they finished eating and cleared away the dishes, she came to the kang and waited for him to talk.
"Lao Yang is sick and needs to go to the provincial capital for surgery. He asked me to accompany him." Han Guobin took his coat and said as he took out money.
Before he went home, he went to see Gao Zheng, gave him the money, and told him that he would not go out for the next few days and they could make an appointment when he could go out again.
However, this time they hunted a wild boar. It wasn't very big, only about 130 pounds. It couldn't be compared with the one they hunted last time, but it was still a small achievement, and it was worth their trip into the mountains.
He also chopped up other wild animals and gave them to Gao Zheng for four yuan. He also bought some pork ribs and pork. He had twenty-six yuan left, which he gave to his wife.
This is why he was willing to take the risk of going deeper into the mountains. One reason was that he had a machete, but the most important thing was that the profits were considerable.
I was lucky enough to encounter a wild boar, and the profit was almost enough for a year's share. This year, my family got a bigger share, 30 yuan and 30 cents, while last year we only got a little over 20 yuan.
The total profit I made this time was 26 yuan, plus the money from before. Although the confinement period cost a little, it was not much, and pig's trotters are not expensive.
Chen Rou calculated that the family’s savings were almost enough for 500 yuan, not even a little short.
"Is Lao Yang seriously ill?" Chen Rou asked.
"It's quite serious." Han Guobin said, it will require surgery, and it is indeed a matter that cannot be underestimated.
"Then go ahead." Chen Rou said, taking out a big reunion ticket from the twenty-six yuan, and gave five yuan in change, saying, "You keep these."
"No charge, Lao Yang will take care of all the food, drink and accommodation." Han Guobin shook his head.
"You can take the money back when you don't need it, but keep it for self-defense. A poor family can make a rich road." Chen Rou said.
Han Guobin smiled and accepted it as his wife asked.
"Leaving tomorrow?" Chen Rou asked.
"Yeah." Han Guobin nodded. In fact, Lao Yang had been waiting for him for two days and wanted him to accompany him to the provincial hospital.
"Then I'll boil some water for you so you can take a bath." Chen Rou said.
She went to boil some hot water, and then asked Han Guobin to carry it back to the house. Han Guobin smiled and said, "Wife, you wash first. I'll take our son out for a walk."
Chen Rou had not originally planned to wash, but seeing the look in the thief's eyes, she immediately understood. She rolled her eyes at him, but still washed comfortably.
After washing and changing the water, Han Guobin also took a wash. Chen Rou put little Han Hang on the kang and rubbed his back.
"When you go out, be careful about everything and don't force yourself to be the most prominent. Your son and I are waiting for you at home." Chen Rou said while rubbing his back.
She didn't know much about the period before peace, but she had seen it from her visit to the county town, and found that the atmosphere was not very good.
Although Chen Rou had never seen Lao Yang, she knew that he had a close relationship with Han Guobin, so she did not stop him when something happened.
But how can I not be worried when going on a long journey?
"My dear wife, don't worry, I will come back safe and sound. I am just going to accompany Lao Yang to see a doctor." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou didn't say anything else. She rubbed his back and brought him new clothes for him to change into.
Because he had to go out the next day, Han Guobin did not walk around, but stayed in the house with his wife and children.
He had to be close to his wife at night, but the thing his wife put on him was really not very comfortable.
Chen Rou was also a little tired. Normally, the time was not short, but now it had doubled.
But I still got up the next morning and made him breakfast, and let him eat before going out.
Probably after she had given Ma Dafa some instructions, Zhou Zhen came over and asked, "Did your Guobin go into the mountains again?"
"No, I'm just going out for a walk." Chen Rou said. She was not too worried as she was going out dressed warmly and had enough food.
Zhou Zhen whispered, "The situation outside is a bit tense. Tell Guobin to be careful. Someone is being arrested in the next village."
"So serious? They're things from the mountains. If no one goes to catch them, they'll die in the mountains when they get old." Chen Rou frowned.
"What can we do? We couldn't even cut a single grass on the mountain before," said Zhou Zhen.
Let's talk about Han Guobin. Come here and listen to Lao Yang telling me about the recent important things.
Lao Yang had also packed up. His wife prepared a cloth bag and also rolled up a few egg pancakes for Han Guobin to take with him.
"Although hunting in the mountains is very cost-effective, it is not very safe. Maybe there will be a space available at the slaughterhouse after a while and I can keep it for you?" said the old sheep on the way to the county town.
Han Guobin was stunned for a moment: "Was it not good for me to be there?"
"What's wrong with that? If you want to go, that's fine." Lao Yang said, "You have the strength to do that job. This is a real job. The monthly salary is 20 yuan, and there will be some bills."
The salary is not low, and if you work in a slaughterhouse, then the benefits will basically not be too bad.
Han Guobin was moved.
He thought that if he could take this job, he could kill pigs at night, rest in the morning, and go back to work at noon, which would be better than going into the mountains to hunt.
Hunting can make a lot of money, but it is not something that can be done for a long time. If there is a legitimate job, he will naturally choose it.
"Then keep it for me?" Han Guobin said.
"Okay." The old sheep nodded.
"But I won't interfere in your business." Han Guobin said again.
"If you don't want to get involved, then don't get involved. Do you think you can get involved if you want to?" The old sheep rolled his eyes at him.
Han Guobin didn't say anything, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Appendicitis." Old Sheep sighed.
Han Guobin knew this, and someone in the village had also suffered from this disease. He was puzzled and asked, "Aren't there doctors in the city?"
"I was demoted and am no longer here. Otherwise, how could I have stayed here until now?" said the old sheep. From what he had heard, the man in the provincial capital was not demoted because he was a great contributor and had saved an important figure.
Han Guobin didn't say anything.
After they entered the city, they took a bus to the provincial capital. However, the bus broke down on the way and it took more than two hours to repair. By the time they arrived at the provincial capital, it was dark.
The two of them stayed in a guesthouse that day for three days. Lao Yang knew that he would not be able to get out of bed so soon after the operation, and he was also very concerned about his life.
He was admitted to the hospital the next day after arriving in the provincial capital. After the surgery that day, Lao Yang was sent to the ward.
Han Guobin helped to take care of the child, because seeing Lao Yang's condition and there was a hospital bed next door, he simply decided not to go back to the guesthouse and fell asleep in the bed next to Lao Yang. If Lao Yang had any problem, he just had to let him know.
On the first day after the operation, Lao Yang felt like he was about to die and was groggy. It was not until he woke up the next day that he felt a little more energetic.
I also saw Han Guobin sleeping in the bed next to me, so I called Han Guobin because I had to pee urgently.
Han Guobin helped clean up and asked, "How do you feel? Do you want to eat anything?"
"Give me some white porridge." said the old sheep.
Han Guobin went to buy some food, ate one himself, and brought back one for Lao Yang. He could only drink some white porridge.
There was nothing surprising about staying with Lao Yang, but on the night when Lao Yang had recovered a lot and was about to go back, Han Guobin went out for a walk, planning to see where the shopping mall was and check it out, and go there early the next morning to see if there was anything good to bring to his wife.
After all, it's a rare trip to the provincial capital.
But while he was still on the way, he accidentally bumped into someone.
To be precise, the other person bumped into him in a hurry. It was a woman, and the briefcase in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Before Han Guobin could say anything, the woman cursed: "Where did you come from, you bastard? Don't you have eyes?"
The road was a little slippery because it had just rained in the past two days. The briefcase was immediately dirty. She cursed, picked up the briefcase, and left in a hurry again.
Looking at her back, Han Guobin narrowed his eyes slightly. For some reason, he followed her and saw with his own eyes the woman having sex with a short man in the alley.
"This is an important document from the provincial capital. It is the latest achievement of the laboratory. You should send it back quickly. We will have made a great contribution this time!" the woman whispered.
"Why is it so dirty?" said the short man.
"I bumped into a blind man. Stop talking about this. Send him out quickly. I'm leaving too. I'm afraid I've been exposed this time. I won't be able to hide the news tomorrow morning!" said the woman.
After she finished speaking, she looked around and said, "Give me the money quickly, I have to take the train to leave overnight!"
The short man gave her the money and a large bill without much hesitation.
The woman put it in her bag and left without hesitation.
Han Guobin glanced at her and ignored her. His attention was directly on the briefcase in the short man's hand.
If he heard it correctly just now, this was an important thing that came out of some laboratory in the provincial capital, but it was stolen. Does that mean these two people are spies?
Han Guobin's eyes narrowed suddenly. The short man put away the briefcase, put it directly against his stomach, and walked out of the alley in broad daylight.
However, as soon as he came out, Han Guobin knocked the short spy, who was only 1.7 meters tall, unconscious with one punch.
He has been invincible in the village since he was a child. Even though he doesn't know medicine, he knows exactly where to hit someone and make them unconscious.
In addition to years of hard work, he is a spy, so who knows if he has anything dangerous on him. It would be best to knock him out.
After beating the man unconscious, he immediately brought the man over to report the case.
When the public security officers in the provincial capital heard that the person turned out to be a spy, and that he had stolen important documents and information from the provincial capital laboratory and was preparing to transfer them, what would they do?
The director came over personally overnight, and Han Guobin had already written down his information clearly. His ancestors had been poor peasants for 18 generations and he had a good family background. This time he accompanied his friend to the provincial capital for surgery, and his friend was in the provincial capital hospital.
He has all the certificates from the village, so his identity is beyond doubt.
The chief looked at the documents that other police officers had found on the short man, and then he immediately called other places. It was only after making the call that he found out that such an important document was lost. When he heard that it had been intercepted, he told them to wait, and they would be here soon!
"There is another woman, also a spy. I heard that she is going to leave by train overnight." Han Guobin said.
"What does he look like?" the director asked.
Han Guobin described the situation, and the director said without delay, "Did you hear that? Go and catch her immediately. The last train is still half an hour away. If you dare to let her escape, you will be out of business!"
"Yes!" a group of police officers shouted.
Then they all went out.
The director looked at Han Guobin and said with a smile: "You are very good. You are also very alert when you find the spies."
This time, this country boy has made a great contribution.
"It's getting late. I should go back." Han Guobin felt that the rest had nothing to do with him.
The director nodded and said, "Then you go back first."
Han Guobin went back to the hospital, thinking that his plan to buy some good things for his wife was probably dashed, and he didn't tell Lao Yang about what happened tonight.
In his view, the past is the past.
But he didn't expect that at this moment people from the laboratory in the police station arrived and found the stolen document. He almost cried.
My life’s hard work is here, and it was almost stolen by these damn omnipresent spies!
"Who caught him? Where is he? I want to see him!" said the old man.
Before the director could say anything, a car drove over and saw a man on top of it who made the director's legs go weak.
After reading Han Guobin's information, he said, "Order someone to investigate. Investigate secretly. Don't let anyone find out that he arrested the spy!"
"Understood!" The director said immediately. We must protect the people who have made great contributions!
It's very easy to check. All the details of Lao Yang's surgery can be found directly at the hospital. The hospital also knows that Han Guobin has been staying in the ward to take care of Lao Yang.
But when they checked, Lao Yang and Han Guobin had already set out on their way back to the city.
We took the same car back, but it broke down on the way. We waited for another two hours. It was noon when we got back to the county town, so we had time to go to a restaurant with Lao Yang.
The old sheep still needed to be raised for a few more days, but it was much better now. He treated Han Guobin to a big meal while he had a light meal himself, and then they went home.
The secret investigators from the provincial capital were not interested in Lao Yang. Their focus was on Han Guobin. It was easy to find out which village the information Han Guobin wrote in the police station had reached.
He was truly a good commoner with a good family background, and he had made such great contributions, yet he went home quietly.
"Who are the people in your family?" asked the provincial leader.
"He's living alone after the family split up. He has a wife and a child who is a few months old." said the director.
"No wonder he's in a hurry to go home." The provincial leader smiled and said, "He has made such a great contribution. What kind of reward do you think we should give him?"
"It's not good to be too ostentatious in the countryside. It seems like he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it and make others remember it," said the director.
"It's not good to say nothing. If it weren't for him, the research laboratory's achievements would have been destroyed overnight. He also followed the clues and arrested all the spies. This credit should be reported to the whole county, and he should be made a hero of the whole county." The provincial leader said.
But as I said, he has a wife and children at home, and it won't do him any good to be so famous.
"Why not arrange a job for him and let him eat commercial grain?" suggested the director.
"Isn't this reward too light?" the provincial leader frowned.
"The fleet is still short of people. We can train him to be a driver, join the fleet, and escort supplies from their county to the provincial capital." said the director.
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. It would be a good idea to train him to be a driver." The provincial leader thought for a moment and nodded.
Then he made a phone call and reported Han Guobin's name and the village he lived in. Finally, he said, "Give him more preferential treatment in terms of salary and benefits. He has a wife and children to support."
The county magistrate was stunned. When did their county have a distant relative of a provincial leader? The provincial leader even called him personally to arrange a job for him and let him eat commercial grain!
But no matter how surprised he was in his heart, he immediately agreed.
At this time, Han Guobin in the village had no idea about this incident. He settled the matter that day and didn't think about it anymore the next day.
On the way back, Lao Yang told him the things to pay attention to when working at the slaughterhouse.
Han Guobin wanted this job, so he took a few days off. When Lao Yang recovered, he planned to go over and give it a try. If it worked, he would continue to do it.
"Is there really a job?" Chen Rou asked in surprise.
"Well, I won't go into the mountains anymore. I probably won't earn as much as before." Han Guobin said to his wife.
"That doesn't matter." Chen Rou said.
She was worried every time he went into the mountains. Even though Gao Zheng was with him, she was still worried.
Although you can earn more if you can hunt a wild boar, it is not something you can always encounter.
It is still better to have a legitimate job with a stable income. After working for two or three years, it will be no problem to build a brick house.
"Then I can only work half a day." Han Guobin said.
"Why go to work when you already have a job? You have to kill pigs at night and sleep at home during the day." Chen Rou said.
"Come back to sleep in the morning and go to work in the afternoon." Han Guobin smiled and said.
Chen Rou looked at him: "Then you decide for yourself. If you are tired, take a rest. Don't tire yourself out. Life is not something that can be achieved in just one or two days."
Han Guobin smiled and said, "I know what's going on."
"What do you think of me? You make me worry all day long. I never have a moment of peace of mind." Chen Rou said to him.
Han Guobin naturally apologized immediately. After the couple chatted for a while, Chen Rou came out to cook dinner.
The meat was just distributed yesterday, but not much was eaten, so there's still some left. It's a good opportunity to give him some good nourishment.
This time she not only asked for fat to make oil, but also pig's head. She was chopping the pig's head in the kitchen and planned to braise it for him.
In addition to the pig head, there are also large bones and ribs, but you can save them for later.
If her son Guobin goes to work in a slaughterhouse in the future, that job will definitely be lucrative.
The couple naturally had a sumptuous dinner that night, eating boiled sweet potatoes with braised pork head. The taste was so good that Han Guobin had never eaten such delicious pork head in his life.
He hadn't seen his wife for several days, so naturally he missed her at night.
Chen Rou asked him to go down and put on protective measures himself, but Han Guobin wanted to resist and didn't want to wear them.
But she had to wear it. Chen Rou really didn't want to get pregnant with a second child so soon. After calculating the time, she could get pregnant before the summer next year, and she could save money in the spring of the year after. By then, the weather would be warmer, and the child would be less likely to get sick, and it would be easier to take care of him.
After all, children have a lot of feces and urine. Where can you find so many diapers in such a cold weather?
For example, right now, the old Han family's house is full of diapers, and the whole room smells of baby feces and urine. Little Han Hang is so old now that he can be given diapers on time, and he doesn't need more than two or three diapers a day.
But even so, it was still a big test for their little house.
It was really cold today, and you could see ice chips when you woke up the next morning.
Han Guobin got up first. Chen Rou and her son were still sleeping. Chen Rou was busy taking care of the little guy's food at night, so he naturally needed to catch up on some sleep now.
Han Guobin boiled water in a pot, changed the water in the thermos, filled the military kettle, and then began to cook sweet potatoes. During his free time, he brushed his teeth.
Early in the morning, a stranger came over with a bicycle.
Han Guobin frowned slightly and looked at him.
"Han Guobin?" the visitor asked with a smile.
Han Guobin spat out the water in his mouth, squinted at him, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm the county magistrate's secretary. You can call me Secretary Zhang." Secretary Zhang smiled.
Han Guobin frowned. What was Secretary Zhang, the county magistrate's secretary, doing in their small village? Still know him?
"If you are free today, go to the city. The county magistrate has arranged a job for you. From now on, you can eat commercial grain." Secretary Zhang came here mainly to inform this. It was very cold, and he went out before dawn!
"What?" Han Guobin looked at him coldly.
Secretary Zhang took out a document with the county magistrate's personal seal from his briefcase and handed it to him. "This is what the county magistrate gave me. He said you were honest and returned a large stack of bills. There happened to be a vacancy in the fleet, so he wanted to recruit you."
Han Guobin wondered when he had ever picked up a bill, and said, "I have never picked up any bills."
"Yes, the county magistrate called me personally and said this. This is your information. Do you think it matches?" Secretary Zhang took out another piece of paper with Han Guobin's information on it.
Han Guobin realized belatedly that this was probably arranged by the provincial capital.
"I can't drive." Han Guobin declined politely and had already planned to go to Lao Yang's slaughterhouse.
"That's nothing, man. Just learn it. Don't you want to drive a big truck? It's a skill that you'll use for a lifetime." Secretary Zhang said.
This made Han Guobin's heart move, but he said: "I plan to work in the slaughterhouse. There is a position for me there."
Doesn't going to the slaughterhouse mean that his mission has failed this time?
Secretary Zhang was here on orders. The county magistrate said that Han Guobin must accept the position.
So Secretary Zhang immediately said, "At the slaughterhouse, you just kill pigs and chop pork. How can that be considered a respectable job? Not only is it very tiring, but there are no holidays. If you work as a driver transporting supplies, you can only rest three days a month."
"What kind of treatment?" Han Guobin already understood what was going on, so he was very calm.
"Of course the treatment is excellent, 34 yuan a month, and the bills and other things will not be less. You can also move your wife and children to the city, and we can arrange a dormitory for you, so that your family of three can eat commercial grain!" Secretary Zhang said.
This means that not only are jobs provided, but housing is also guaranteed, and the household registration is transferred.
At this time of year, it is not easy to transfer one's household registration. For example, Han Guoli had to go through great pains to transfer her household registration, and she had to deal with a lot of relationships with her in-laws.
But there is nothing my husband's family can do about it. Their son is so determined to have this country girl. They can only use their connections to find a way for him, otherwise the grandson they give birth to will have to have a rural household registration.
Now it is said that it will be transferred.
Han Guobin was already very tempted. Thirty-four yuan a month was enough for him to support his family. He could also transfer his household registration, so wouldn't his family become city dwellers?
The reward from the provincial capital was really nice, and they also thought it through very carefully, saying directly that he was an honest man and had nothing to do with anything else, so the spies wouldn't trace it back to him.
Han Guobin is pleased that his wife and son will not be in any danger.
However, even though he was moved, he still had to discuss it with his wife. He looked at Secretary Zhang and said, "How about you go back first? I have to discuss it with my wife and hear what she thinks."
When Secretary Zhang left, he was carrying two big hot sweet potatoes in his pocket. He ate them as he walked out of the village. He was finally warm now.
Ma Dafa next door saw it early. As soon as Secretary Zhang left, he came to ask Han Guobin: "Who was that person just now?"
Han Guobin laid the foundation first and said, "He is from a government agency in the county."
Ma Dafa was shocked: "Then why are we looking for you?"
"I picked up a lot of bills last time, and I gave them to them. They have already contacted the owner and came to thank me." Han Guobin said.
Ma Dafa suddenly understood, but when he found out that the other person's thanks were actually to arrange for him to work as a truck driver in the city, his eyes almost popped out.
This matter did not need to be discussed. After getting up, Chen Rou listened to her man talking about what happened in the morning. She had no moral integrity at all and directly asked him to change!
The salary is almost twice that of the slaughterhouse, why not change your job?
A skilled worker in the city only makes a few dollars a month, but a driver can make thirty-four yuan a month, which is a generous salary!
Nowadays there is a saying that 36 yuan is the best. 34 yuan a month is not as high as 36 yuan, but it is the highest.
More than ten dollars can support a family, let alone thirty-four dollars.
Moreover, Chen Rou also felt that being a driver was much better than being a pig killer. Not to mention the question of whether it was decent or not, the main thing was that being a driver didn't require one to stay up late.
There was no choice before for Han Guobin to go, but now there is a choice, why not choose a better one?
As for moving the whole family to the city, Chen Rou refused for the time being: "We can talk about the transfer of household registration later. For now, we can just live in the village. When we build a brick house and a yard, it will be no worse than living in the city."
The key is that Chen Rou still wants to stay in the village. She doesn’t know when life outside will get better, but she undoubtedly regards the village as a retreat.
If Han Guobin could no longer do his job as a driver, he could go home and earn work points so he wouldn't go hungry.
But if we move to the city, then we will have no way out. The whole family will eat commercial grain, which is respectable, but we will always feel uneasy.
Han Guobin listened to his wife. If he went to the city, he might not be able to adapt to the living environment there. Also, moving there rashly would be too sudden.
We can talk about it when he gets familiar with the city.
Han Guobin went to borrow the captain's car. The captain had also heard about this and naturally asked a few questions.
Han Guobin did not hide it and said, "The city has arranged for me to learn to be a driver, but I have to go to the city to confirm it myself. If it is really arranged, I may not have time to go to work in the future."
The captain's wife, Chen Aidi, was shocked and asked, "Did they really pick up so many bills?"
"Yeah." Han Guobin nodded.
"Good boy, you've brought honor to our team!" the team leader praised.
Han Guobin rode his bike into the city, and the news spread throughout the village. Now everyone gathered at the small adobe house.
"Guobin's wife, is Guobin really going to work as a driver in the city and eat commercial grain in the future?"
"If we eat commercial grain, won't we become city dwellers?"
"So are you going to live in the village or move to the city? If you move to the city, what will you and your children do?"
“…”
Everyone was talking at once, discussing the matter.
Chen Rou also answered in a friendly manner: "If nothing unexpected happens, he should go to the city to be a driver. The city is willing to transfer our household registration, but I don't know how long Guobin can work in this job. After all, he is a villager and has no foundation or acquaintances outside. People gave him the job just to thank him for returning the money. If this position is taken over by others in the future, he can also return to the village to continue to earn work points."
It's also a precautionary measure. If you really can't continue doing this in the future, there's no need to laugh at it.
She didn't know that her man had coaxed her into it as well. It wasn't a matter of returning lost property at all, but rather retrieving the results of years of research in the laboratory and helping to break up a spy nest.
However, Han Guobin is not the kind of person who would make his wife worry, so let his wife think so and don't scare her.
Almost everyone understood that there were real jobs, and that the company was willing to relocate Han Guobin's family to that place. It was just that the couple themselves did not agree.
But the concerns are also correct. Although once you get the job, you can keep doing it as long as there are no mistakes, but Chen Rou is right. Country people really have no roots in the city. If they are replaced, even if their household registration is not transferred, they can still go back to the village to continue earning work points to support their family.
The news almost spread throughout the village.
The news soon spread to the old Han family.
Han's father and mother were both shocked. Is the second child going to eat commercial grain?
Not to mention the old couple, isn't it the same for Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu? Second uncle is going to the city to be a driver?
"What's going on?" Song Xiaoyu was still in the confinement period and didn't go out, so she didn't know and asked Han Guolin.
Han Guolin told her what he had heard, and even Song Xiaoyu didn't know what to say.
Are you saying that the second uncle is a blockhead and has no smart brain, or that he is just a fool with good fortune?
If she had picked up so many bills and no one saw them, she would never be stupid enough to report them to the police.
There are so many bills. Wouldn't it be nice to keep them for yourself?
So if it was her, there would naturally be no such thing as a rewarding job.
"How much is the monthly salary for a job like this?" Han's mother came in and asked her.
Song Xiaoyu had no idea, so she guessed and said, "The drivers in the city must be well paid. I estimate that they make at least 25 yuan a month."
She couldn't help but feel a little bitter. If her second uncle only made 25 yuan a month, that would be almost double what she made.
"Twenty-five dollars a month?" Han's mother said in shock.
When Mr. Han outside heard this, his face trembled. Twenty-five yuan a month, that is three hundred yuan a year.
How big a household needs to be to get 300 yuan a year?
The second child is about to make progress.
This is what Han’s father thought, while Han’s mother wanted money!
Since my son is so successful, he must support his parents. He has to give her at least 15 yuan out of the 25 yuan a month!
When Han's father heard this, he couldn't help but look at her and thought, you still want money? You must be dreaming. The family has been divided, so don’t even think about it. No one will care if they make a fuss.
"Don't jump up, it will be next year when each family will contribute a little work points to support us," said Han's father.
"What? I'm his biological mother, how can he not respect me?" Han's mother glared at him.
Han's father said, "Please stop making trouble." He felt embarrassed.
It was impossible for Han's mother not to make a fuss. She had to make a fuss. How could she get the money without making a fuss? Twenty-five dollars a month, how much money is that? At least fifteen dollars, not a penny less!
Now let’s talk about Mrs. Han.
Right now she was at home beating her own clothes to death. Yes, she was almost dying of jealousy!
How come the second brother's family is so lucky? During the confinement period, she was taken care of like an old Buddha. Now, the second uncle has got a job. I don't know how much he earns, but it is definitely not low.
The second son’s family can eat just by sitting at home and not working!
Why doesn't she have that fate? She thinks she hasn't done anything against the law, but why doesn't she have that fate to enjoy life?
How is she inferior to the second brother?
Brother Han heard a lot outside and his face was beaming when he came back.
Seeing him like this, Han's wife got angry and took out all her anger on him: "Why, are you so happy? Second uncle has that ability, why can't you have that ability to make me famous in the village?"
Although Brother Han had a good temper, he couldn't help but frown at this moment and said, "Did I let you starve or freeze?"
Mrs. Han was almost angry to tears.
She was actually just angry. The second son's family was obviously not that good, so why was it getting better and better?
Naturally, her man is not bad either, and he earns a lot of work points. This is why she usually holds her chin up high in the village, because unlike some men, they are really useless and have to rely on the women at home for food.
Our life at home cannot be compared with the best in the village, but we can still eat 70% to 80% full, which is not as good as others but better than others.
But Han's sister-in-law is just jealous. The life that the second family is living now is really a good life. Relying on the man in the family, they are really enjoying a great life.
"This position is what the second brother deserves. If it were me, I would have picked it up and returned it. Then you would have called me a fool. People are grateful to him and moved by his high awareness. He got such a position. Why are you jealous?" said Brother Han.
I am not a bad woman, but the only thing is that I like to compare myself with others. There are so many people in the world, how can I compare with them? I should just live my own life.
Mrs. Han shed two tears, and the matter was over.
But after Han Guobin came back from the city, he said that he had confirmed that he would go there to learn how to drive the day after tomorrow, and the news spread in the village again.
Old Chen's family also received the news that day, and mother Chen was so happy.
Pulling Chen's father aside, he praised him, "Speaking of the vision of choosing a son-in-law, no one in the whole village can match you, Old Chen. Look at the son-in-law you picked for our daughter. She is really marrying into a lucky family. How can you have such a good vision?"
Chen's father was so proud of the compliment that his face lit up, but he still pretended to be calm: "I've always had high hopes for Guobin."
"Dadbang, you saw it at the time, didn't you say he was reliable? Look at your eldest daughter, she's not doing badly either, it's all thanks to you!" Chen
