Jiang Shushu knew something was up when she saw the security guard's look, and she quickly played along. "Uncle, the things we grow at home aren't worth much, so I'll give you a taste. As soon as I saw you, I felt so close to you, like you were my uncle. As your niece, I'm treating you to something sweet, and you can't refuse."
"Okay! Then I'll accept it. Don't do this again next time." Anyway, they were all unimportant news. If the little girl likes to hear it, just tell her. Just think of it as a good relationship. It's good for you, me, and everyone.
Next time? Is it because I didn't give enough? Of course, there are plenty of plums like this in the countryside, and they're really not worth much. What else can I give? Something that's not expensive, but still presentable. Yes, I still have four ounces of dried red dates?
Jiang Shushu reached into his bag again, took out four ounces of dried red dates from his supply space, and placed them under the window again: "Uncle, you should try these red dates too. I picked them in the mountains. They are delicious after being dried. You can have them as a snack."
Li Zhongjun was even happier when he saw the red dates. This was a good thing, which could not be bought even if one had money. His daughter-in-law happened to be pregnant, and these red dates were just the right supplement for her.
"How can you be so polite, little girl? I don't know what to say. Where are you from?"
"From Jiangjia Village, Hualing Brigade."
"My uncle has a distant relative who is also from Jiangjia Village. It turns out we are a family. No wonder my uncle looks at you so kindly." Li Zhongjun said as he collected the dried red dates.
Jiang Shushu: "..." Uncle, since you've seen my purpose, let's get down to business! Stop bragging to each other, it's boring if you keep on bragging.
Li Zhongjun brought a stool and said, "Come, come, sit down. You must be exhausted after running here in such hot weather. Uncle will talk to you about the recruitment so that you don't have to go the wrong way." He took money to do the job and naturally received the supplies. So he had to tell the little girl what she wanted to know.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Don't be polite. We are family, so we don't have different opinions. We have seven factories in Q City... None of them have been hiring recently. Only one food factory is recruiting internally, but the requirements for this internal recruitment are very high. The candidates must be children of cadres in the food factory... As for the factory this year, there is no hope for your valuation. Major factories generally recruit workers in June. You can wait until June next year to come back and have a look." After saying this, Li Zhongjun took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"Thank you uncle for telling me this." I made a profit by using some plums and red dates to get so much useful information.
"You're welcome." Anyway, this information was known to anyone who had some connections in the factory. It was not a secret. I chatted with them for a while and got about two kilograms of plums and about half a kilogram of red dates. I made a profit.
After saying goodbye to the security guard, Jiang Shushu wondered what to do next. He couldn't find a job in any of the seven factories.
On the other side, Yan Beiyang finally returned home after many twists and turns and hiding from place to place. As soon as Yan Beiyang opened the gate of his yard and saw Chen Wei sitting in the yard, he became furious.
"Chen Wei, you bastard, I'm going to beat you to death." Yan Beiyang grabbed Chen Wei's collar with one hand and punched Chen Wei in the stomach with the other. When he wanted to hit him again, Chen Wei immediately broke free from Yan Beiyang's hand with his good skills and hid far away from Yan Beiyang.
"Brother Yang, let's talk nicely. Don't get excited. There's a reason why I didn't go to pick you up." Chen Wei quickly explained.
Yan Beiyang pointed at Chen Wei and said, "Tell me, if you don't give me a convincing reason, our brotherhood will end."
"Brother Yang, has something happened to you?" Seeing Yan Beiyang's face so dark, Chen Wei guessed that something had happened. He became anxious because this payment for the goods not only included their hard work pay for the year, but also their savings.
"Don't change the subject yet. Tell me, why didn't you show up to pick me up on time?"
"I was supposed to pick you up on time, but when I was about to enter the black market alley, a crazy woman stopped me. She insisted that I was the one she loved the most, so she wanted to break off her engagement with her fiancé. I ignored them and wanted to leave, but the man wouldn't let me go and asked me to explain myself. He even called the police. I had no choice but to explain to the police. After an hour, the crazy woman finally admitted that she had a conflict with her fiancé and was deliberately looking for someone to annoy him. After the police left, I immediately went to the place we agreed on, but I didn't see you. I looked around but couldn't see you either, so I came back here to wait for you."
"We were both targeted half a month ago. The people who held you back and robbed me must be the same group of people, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?"
"Fuck, who is that? I'm going to kill him." Chen Wei was so angry that he kicked the wall. Then he asked desperately: "After being robbed, there is not a penny left?"
Yan Beiyang pulled out a stack of reunion notes from his pocket. "There were only 1,200 yuan left. There were seven of them, surrounding me from both sides, each holding a weapon. I couldn't fight them off, so I took the opportunity to sprinkle chili powder in their eyes and then ran away. That bag weighed several kilograms, and I definitely couldn't outrun them carrying it, so I took the opportunity to grab the largest stack of money, threw the bag away, and ran away."
"We've worked for nothing this year," Chen Wei said dejectedly. For over a year now, he'd been waking up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs, all for the sake of making some money, eating well, drinking well, and living like a decent human being. And now, he's got nothing.
"It was all in vain. This time we lost 1,000 yuan in cash, ten 100g gold bars, five jade pendants and two bracelets I specially collected, and a stack of various banknotes. The remaining 1,200 yuan is not enough for the two of us to make up for it."
"These bastards dare to plot against us. We absolutely cannot let this go." Chen Wei was so angry that the muscles on his hands bulged. He looked like a ruthless character. This was also the reason why Jin Dahu only dared to outsmart Chen Wei and not confront him head-on.
"What a joke! Of course I can't just let this go. I'll make them spit out everything they ate from me," Yan Beiyang said coldly. He couldn't bear the humiliation if he didn't punish them.
On the other side, Jin Dahu was still angry that he couldn't catch up with Yan Beiyang and let Yan Beiyang run away. When he returned to his nest and heard Fatty and the others say that they didn't pick up the money, he was furious.
"Didn't find it? How come you didn't find it? There's just a wall between us, and you guys let the bag fly away? I'm so angry! I've been busy for half a month and didn't get a penny, and I even offended someone."
