387: Kneel
"You say nice things, but in your heart you can't wait to leave today."
"Didn't I ask for your opinion?"
Xu Ying waved her hands vigorously:
"Don't ask me, don't ask me. I don't want to go anywhere anyway. My yard is well maintained, my chickens will soon lay eggs, my radishes and cabbages are growing, and my winter melons and pumpkins are so big. If I leave, what will happen to these things?"
"Those chickens can still lay eggs even if we bring them to the farm, and the land there can still be used to grow radishes and cabbages."
"What about these old sisters in my company? Will you help me go to the headquarters? I finally got to know them well. When you were not at home, they kept me company. Who will accompany me when I go to the headquarters?"
"Then won't I be with you?"
"Oh, you're such a busy man, do you still have time to accompany me?"
"I promise, I won't go anywhere after work and will be with you every day!"
“…”
Yu Xiaoye and his second brother huddled together, listening to their parents bickering, not daring to make a sound.
Yu Xiaoye poked his second brother and asked in a low voice:
"Second brother, do you want to move to the headquarters?"
Yu Erye couldn't hold back and wanted to say something. When he heard his younger sister ask him this, he immediately nodded:
"think!"
"I guess you do, too."
Yu Erye said with longing:
"The headquarters is so nice! There's a store, a post office, and a school. The buildings are big, there are a lot of people, and there are more cars and tractors. It's more lively than our company. If my family could really move there, it would be such a great thing. I dream of going there! By the way, what's the position of section chief that our father holds? Is it a high-ranking official?"
Yu Xiaoye thought about it and nodded:
"Well, it's okay, not too big, but not too small either."
"How big?"
"About the same age as our team leader Yang."
When Yu Erye heard that he was a high-ranking officer like Captain Yang of the Eighth Company, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth:
“That big?!”
Yu Xiaoye: “…”Is it very big?
Yu Xiaoye knew that her father was going to be the head of the militia section, but she never thought of it as an official position. In her mind, it was just a job with great power and responsibility.
After hearing my second brother's exaggeration, I put myself in Yu Erye's shoes and thought about it, and then I realized that this militia section chief seemed to be quite important, probably equivalent to the level of a commune cadre in my hometown, right?
There is no smoke rising from the ancestral tomb of the old Yu family in this life. Going back six generations, all of them were farmers, and none of them relied on government subsidies.
It is indeed a remarkable thing that an official at the level of a commune cadre suddenly appears.
If it happened in my hometown, wouldn’t it be an uproar?
No wonder my second brother was so surprised.
After Yu Erye knew that his father had become such a high-ranking official, he could no longer contain his excitement and said:
"Now that our dad has become a cadre, can he help me with my job?"
Yu Xiaoye smiled and said:
"Yes, it should be fine this time. Dad can find a way to arrange a job for you."
Yu Xiaoye had previously specifically inquired about his second brother's work arrangements.
It is said that the children of farm workers must meet three conditions at the same time before the farm will arrange jobs for them.
The first is that one of the parents must be a formal worker, the second is that the applicant must be at least sixteen years old, and the third is that the applicant must have at least a junior high school diploma.
Of these three conditions, their family had only met one before, which was that the child was at least sixteen years old, and the other two were not met.
Later, my father was promoted to a regular employee, which met the second condition.
But my second brother’s hard work is not enough because he has a diploma.
Therefore, it is very difficult to enter a farm as a worker as the child of a farm worker through formal channels.
It’s different now. If Dad really becomes the head of the militia and has a certain amount of power in his hands, things will be easier.
The so-called right not to use expires and becomes invalid.
Taking this opportunity, I will arrange a job for my second brother first, and then slowly improve his cultural level later.
Besides, there are many uneducated farmers and workers on the farm. Take Zhang Guangtian for example. He can hardly read, but he has been the squad leader of the militia for so many years.
Yu Xiaoye was still happy that his second brother finally had a job, when suddenly, his second brother flashed by and rushed out to his parents who were still arguing and yelled:
"mom!"
The old couple was startled by their son who suddenly appeared:
"What the hell are you yelling about? I'm not dead yet!"
Yu Erye stared at Xu Ying and said excitedly:
"Mom, just agree to it. If you agree, Dad will be a farm official!"
"I didn't know that was a farm cadre?"
"Mom, now that Dad has become a cadre, he can arrange a job for me!"
Yu Jiahui saw his son adding fuel to the fire and was afraid that his foolish son would anger his wife and cause trouble, so he quickly stopped his son and said:
"Second brother, stay away. This is none of your business."
"Dad, let me help you persuade Mom!"
Yu Jiahui glared at his son and tried to signal him:
"I'm not going to persuade you like that. Go and take a rest!"
Yu Xiaoye, who was standing aside, had never expected that his second brother, who always cowered in front of his mother, would be so brave this time and dare to run directly to his mother to persuade her directly. If he was not careful, it would really add fuel to the fire. He quickly came up and pulled his second brother:
"Brother, that's enough. Dad is here to persuade you. Don't meddle in other people's business."
Yu Erye rushed up anxiously:
"Mom, Mom, just agree, okay? Please!"
Xu Ying stood aside and saw the father and his two sons huddled together, his face drooping as he said:
"Alright, you three are acting right here in front of me. We discussed this in advance, so you're just waiting to act in front of me, right? You acted pretty well. Not only did you learn how to forge iron in the field office, you also learned how to act."
Yu Xiaoye was afraid of getting into trouble.
Quickly distance yourself from the relationship:
"No, no, no, Mom, I didn't say anything. I told my dad and I respect his opinion. I definitely didn't get involved. My second brother just found out about it. We definitely didn't collude in advance, seriously!"
Yu Jiahui also helped to explain:
"Yes, the two children really have nothing to do with this matter. They didn't get involved. I just discussed this with you unilaterally. Don't think too much about it."
Yu Jiahui was about to persuade Xu Ying to calm down, but the tactless Yu Erye was still stubborn and kept jumping:
"Mom, this is such a good thing, why don't you agree? Just agree now. If you agree, my dad can go to the farm office as a cadre. If he becomes a cadre, I will have a job. Mom, I beg you, I kneel down for you, isn't that enough?"
Xu Ying: "Kowtow won't work. It's your business if you go. I'm not going!"
As soon as Xu Ying finished speaking, there was a "plop" sound.
When I looked again, I suddenly saw Yu Erye lower his body and kneel down!
He actually knelt down in front of Xu Ying! !
After this kneeling, the other three people were all stunned.
Although kowtow and kneeling are not a big deal these days, for Yu Jiahui, Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye, living in the 21st century, they have basically bid farewell to the bad habit of kneeling and have not knelt to anyone for many years.
So when they saw Yu Erye kneeling down, they were all dumbfounded.
They all stared at Yu Erye as if petrified.
