Shen Qingfeng pursed his lips and drank a cup of tea in silence.
The happiest person that night was He Guoqiang.
He was the accountant of the brigade and had always wanted to train his son He Yong to take over his job.
But He Yong is as his name suggests, big and strong, with brute force but no interest in studying.
He only studied up to the third grade of primary school and then said he refused to study any further.
He Guoqiang wanted to teach him how to use an abacus, but he just started pulling his hair with the abacus. By the age of fifteen, his hair had been pulled bald, and he had only learned how to divide two by three.
Later, He Guoqiang wanted to educate his daughter. He Hui was able to learn to sew clothes and do needlework very quickly, but she was not good at touching books or abacus.
He Guoqiang has been regretting for years that apart from him, there will be no other people in his family who can eat the government's food.
I didn't expect that Shen Qingfeng would give the job to Shen Zhengxu now. A son-in-law is half a son, and it is also respectable for him if his son-in-law has a job.
He Guoqiang toasted everyone frequently when he was happy.
Deng Hongmei and He Hui tried to stop him but failed. In the end, he had drunk too much, so Deng Hongmei asked He Yong to come and take him back.
After getting rid of He Guoqiang, everyone had finished their meal.
Before leaving, Zhao Xiuying called Li Xiaolan aside and said, "My daughter, although your uncle gave this job to your eldest brother, your uncle, father-in-law, eldest brother, sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law are all kind people. If they have a future, they will definitely support you.
You must not create a grudge against them just because you gave the job to Zhengxu and not to Zhengliang, okay? ”
Just now at the dinner table, while Accountant He was talking a lot, she noticed that her daughter's expression was always indifferent, and sometimes even a little absent-minded.
She guessed at the time that her daughter was upset because her son-in-law was unemployed.
After all, among the four brothers and sisters in the Shen family, only her son-in-law is still farming in the production team.
Li Xiaolan smiled and said, "Mom, what are you thinking about? The Shen family is all good, how could I not know that?
My eldest brother was originally going to give my uncle's job to Zhengliang, but Zhengliang said he didn't like working in the company and refused to take the job no matter what, so my eldest brother took it over. ”
Zhao Xiuying was slightly surprised when she heard this.
Unexpectedly, such a good job was given to her son-in-law first. Her son-in-law was not happy with it, so it was given to Zhengxu.
After all, in the countryside, it is generally assumed that the eldest child will take care of the elderly, so naturally any conveniences at home should be given to the eldest child first.
Therefore, even if Uncle Shen didn't ask Shen Zhengliang for his opinion on this job at all and gave it directly to Shen Zhengxu, it would be understandable.
Zhao Xiuying couldn't help but nodded and said, "Your father-in-law, uncle, and elder brother are really kind."
She turned around and asked in confusion, "Girl, you are not here for work, so why were you eating just now? What difficulties did you encounter?"
Li Xiaolan dodged her gaze for a moment, "No, Mom, don't think too much about it. It was just that Dad and the other men were drinking, and I was bored, so I was distracted for a while."
At that time, she actually saw He Hui pulling the corner of Shen Zhengxu's clothes under the table, and Shen Zhengxu tilted his head with a gentle smile on his face to listen to her.
I couldn't help but feel a little envious and a little sour in my heart.
She knew that she and Shen Zhengliang got married under such circumstances, and the fact that they could respect each other and live a stable life was already a testament to Shen Zhengliang's good character.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Zhao Xiuying could roughly guess what her daughter was thinking just by looking at her appearance.
She lowered her voice to impart her experience, "My daughter, I saw that Zheng Liang was very nice to you today. He even gave you the delicious dishes first.
Even if his heart is not with you at the moment, as a man, you can tie his heart down if you take the initiative and give him a child as soon as possible. ”
When Li Xiaolan heard her mother mention this again, her cheeks flushed, "Mom, I know, you and Dad should go back quickly."
"Hey, kid, how come you're still so shameless after being married for so long?"
At night, Shen Zhengxu and He Hui were lying on the bed. He Hui asked Shen Zhengxu about his work situation, looked at him with admiration, and leaned over to kiss him, "Brother Zhengxu, you are awesome."
Shen Zhengxu felt his heart soften all of a sudden. He hugged He Hui into his arms and discussed, "Xiao Hui, I will have a salary of 36 yuan per month in the future, and there will also be subsidies for food coupons, meat coupons, and cloth coupons.
My idea is that we give uncle 12 yuan a month, and give dad and the second brother and his wife 3 yuan a month respectively.
The remaining eighteen dollars will be given to you, and you can arrange our family's life. ”
“Brother Zhengxu, your arrangement is not very reasonable.” He Hui looked at Shen Zhengxu seriously.
Shen Zhengxu was also panicked for a moment. He knew that He Hui would definitely agree to give money to his uncle, but the matter of giving pocket money to his father, especially to the second son and his wife, was indeed a decision he made on his own after he found out about his salary today.
He was about to explain to He Hui when he heard He Hui say, "How can you give me all the remaining 18 yuan? You should keep three yuan for pocket money so that you can improve your food every now and then at work, and always carry a pack of cigarettes with you.
When we got married, I saw that the commune cadres who came to the banquet all carried cigarettes with them. When they met our team leader and team secretary, they always offered cigarettes to us..."
Before He Hui finished speaking, Shen Zhengxu had already kissed her lips excitedly, "Xiao Hui, I am so lucky to marry you!"
In Shen Zhengliang and Li Xiaolan's room, the nominal couple were still talking.
