Xu Huaizhi returned to the county town that afternoon, and in the evening he went to his master's house carrying the goods he brought from home.
His master is an old employee in the factory and has a lot of experience. His master's wife is in charge of the factory's logistics and can definitely help him. It's just that I feel a little embarrassed that I have to take care of him as soon as my father comes home and bother my father with family matters.
Finally, his wife said that the logistics department was short of a temporary worker, and the kitchen wanted to find a male handyman to help with odd jobs like washing dishes, washing vegetables, and moving vegetables.
It doesn't require any technical skills, as long as you have good hands and eyes, you can do it. The salary is a little low, only 20 yuan a month, but the holiday benefits are the same as other workers.
This is already very good. When it comes to work, there are more people than jobs. It is a great favor that the master's wife gave him this opportunity.
Moreover, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. If it is delayed, someone might squeeze in, and then there will be several people competing.
Xu Huaizhi left his master's house with great gratitude, and rode home in the dark that night to tell his family the good news.
The whole family didn't expect to get the news so soon.
Xu Mingxiao and Liu Guifang thought it was not bad. The work in the kitchen was more lucrative and much easier than working in the boiler room.
Lin Xiaomeng thought it was not bad. Her brothers and sisters from her mother's side might not be able to find such jobs in Beijing. The last letter from home said that her eldest brother was unemployed and at home.
So she really thinks it's good.
But Xu Huaiyu still felt dissatisfied.
"Brother, is there any other work? How about we take a look?" Odd jobs, moving things and washing vegetables, these were not worthy of his status as a high school student, and the wages were low, which would be too embarrassing to make public.
Xu Huaizhi's face was visibly overcast with dark clouds.
"Then you can handle it yourself! I don't care about this matter anymore!"
Lin Xiaomeng watched coldly, some people just don't know how to appreciate what they have, it's just a habit.
Liu Guifang tugged at her son's clothes and said, "Do you still want to get married? Who cares about the job? Just wait and see!"
Xu Mingxiao said sternly: "You ungrateful thing! If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you up!
Do you know how difficult it is to find a job outside nowadays? Your elder brother had to put in a lot of effort to find this job, and you are still picky. If you can't do it, don't go."
Xu Huaiyu came to his senses and realized that Yan Lijun's family just wanted him to have a job to support the family, no matter what kind of job it was.
He could just use this job to fool the Yan family first, and then stop doing it in the future. Isn't it his own business?
Thinking of this, he finally agreed.
"Go, go!"
The next morning, before dawn, the brothers Xu Huaizhi and Xu Huaiyu set out for the county town.
Xu Huaizhi took his brothers to the logistics department to find the master's wife, who immediately took them to the kitchen to meet the chef.
The master chef looked down on Xu Huaiyu, who looked like a useless person with only his face to look good.
However, for the sake of his master's wife, he agreed to keep Xu Huaiyu. After completing the formalities today, she could come to work tomorrow.
Xu Huaizhi took Xu Huaiyu to complete the onboarding procedures without stopping, and then rushed to work, leaving Xu Huaiyu to look around on her own.
After Xu Huaiyu completed the formalities, he immediately went to find Yan Lijun. Yan Lijun was at work and was surprised to see Xu Huaiyu coming to see her.
"What brings you here?"
"Guess?" Xu Huaiyu looked delighted.
"I can't guess."
"I found a job!" Xu Huaiyu proudly took out the work badge he had just received.
"Look, the steel plant, the logistics department."
Yan Lijun didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Didn't she just talk about this yesterday? How come she found a job today? It was like a joke.
"Really? You're not lying, are you?" she asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's true. Brother Wang came back to the factory yesterday to say hello, and he came to register for employment early this morning. Look, your name is written on the work badge!" Xu Huaiyu held the badge in front of her.
"Xu Huaiyu, it really is your name. Really, you really found a job! Huaiyu, you are so awesome." Yan Lijun happily took his arm and shouted.
"That's not true. You are an extraordinary man. Now, your parents won't say anything, right?" Xu Huaiyu said with pride and satisfaction.
After all, being rejected and looked down upon is not a good experience. If they were not Yan Lijun's parents, he would have scolded them long ago.
"No, don't be angry, they are doing this for your own good!" Yan Lijun coaxed.
"Okay, talk to your parents and ask them to take some time to go home and settle our matter. We need to get it done before winter!" Xu Huaiyu looked like he couldn't wait.
Yan Lijun patted his arm and said, "You dead look, just wait!"
The Yan family was even more anxious than him. Yan's father and mother wished they could get the matter done tomorrow so that they could get the betrothal gift and welcome their son's daughter-in-law home.
When she got home that night, Yan Lijun told her family about this.
The Yan family was so happy that they danced with joy, wishing Yan Lijun would get married the next day. Only she was secretly sad and worried.
Xu Huaiyu started working the next day. The work in the kitchen was heavy and busy. He was ordered around by the chefs. He couldn't stand it after just one morning and felt depressed.
Fortunately, Yan Lijun brought good news at noon that her parents agreed.
Xu Huaiyu heaved a sigh of relief and worked much harder in the afternoon.
-
After Gu Qinghuan met Xu Jianguo's mother, she felt uneasy and worried that something might happen to Zhong Luoqi.
So I planned to look for Zhong Luoqing early the next morning.
Since that incident a few years ago, the Xu family moved, and she has never been to Zhong Luoqing's new home. She can only grope her way there according to the address on the letter.
Lanting and Ruxue went to school today. Xu Huaian took the two children to the hospital for treatment in the morning, and then went to the small western-style building to pick up the goods in the afternoon. He had already agreed on the delivery time with the grocery store yesterday.
So today she can only go to find her cousin by herself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I ran into He Qiang, a rickshaw driver I had met before.
The young man saw her from a distance, his eyes lit up, and he approached her with a smile: "Good morning, what a coincidence, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
He Qiang's memory was very good, especially since Gu Qinghuan had given him five yuan, so the memory was still fresh.
"It's you! Okay, I'm just about to take a taxi, please take me to No. 15 Xinjie." Gu Qinghuan got on his rickshaw.
"Okay, sit tight." He pedaled the tricycle vigorously.
The two chatted as they walked along the way.
Although the young man is lively and smooth, he is very sensible. He doesn't ask questions that he shouldn't ask. His worldly wisdom is just right, so I don't feel disgusted with him, but rather admire him.
