Aunt Lu was about to speak when someone passed by.
Qi Mengmeng looked up and saw a young man wearing the factory's work clothes.
Seeing Aunt Lu talking to Qi Mengmeng, Xiao Zhao nodded to Qi Mengmeng first, then said to Aunt Lu, "Aunt, someone is here to pick up something."
Aunt Lu glanced at Qi Mengmeng's belly and said meaningfully, "Think about it carefully."
Qi Mengmeng frowned. Did he think this was the only choice she had?
Until the end of get off work at noon, Qi Mengmeng didn't understand what Gu Guizhi meant until he greeted Xiao Zhao.
At that time, Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi were standing together. Seeing Aunt Lu coming out, Qi Mengmeng pointed her out to Gu Guizhi, who had already greeted Xiao Zhao.
"Do you know Xiao Zhao?" Qi Mengmeng asked.
"I met him through a friend a few days ago."
The two men stood at the door of the food factory and talked for a few words before slowly walking home.
Aunt Lu looked at the backs of Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi, then glanced at the direction Xiao Zhao left, and followed Xiao Zhao in a few steps.
"Zhao, who was that person who greeted you just now?"
Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "I heard that the wife of a deputy regiment commander of a nearby military region is working in our food factory. What's wrong, Aunt Lu?"
Aunt Lu's face looked a little unhappy.
"I don't even know when you got to know such a high-ranking official."
"Oh, my aunt, I just met you. My cousin introduced us to each other. We are just acquaintances, not familiar with each other at all."
Xiao Zhao was telling the truth, but Aunt Lu didn't believe it.
If they were not familiar with each other, why did Xiao Zhao laugh so loudly and look so flattering just now?
Aunt Lu believed that Qi Mengmeng had found Xiao Zhao again and wanted to exchange jobs with Xiao Zhao.
"Zhao, our logistics job is a good one. It's easy and not tiring. You can't be stupid enough to switch with someone else."
Xiao Zhao thought Aunt Lu knew that she wanted to work at the machinery factory, so he chuckled and said, "Aunt, changing jobs is not that easy. Don't worry, I will work hard while I am here."
The more he said this, the more suspicious Aunt Lu became.
But when they arrived at Xiao Zhao's house, Xiao Zhao waved his hand and went home.
Aunt Lu returned home with a heavy heart. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw her son waiting there.
"Mom, you're back?"
Aunt Lu sighed, ignored him, and walked straight into the house, took out a large cabbage and cut it into thin strips. Then she took out the vegetables from the lunch box and poured them into the pot.
Aunt Lu's son Li Chen saw the food in the pot and said unhappily, "Mom, we're eating stewed cabbage again today? We've been eating stewed cabbage for several days. How about we eat something else?"
Aunt Lu was still thinking about work. When she heard this, she said unhappily, "Okay, you pay me and I'll buy you some meat."
Li Chen smiled awkwardly and said flatteringly, "Mom, except for the 5 yuan pocket money, I have handed over all my salary."
Aunt Lu turned around and glared at him: "How much do you earn a month? Don't you know it? We haven't even earned back the money we used to buy you a job, and you're getting married."
"If your wife wants money, it's easy to ask, but she actually wants to work. How can we have so many jobs in our family?"
Li Chen said nonchalantly, "Mom, you are old too. Give the job to Xiaoya. When we get married and have children, you can take care of the grandchildren. How great."
"You are fine, but what about your brother? We bought you a job and gave the job to your wife. We don't care about your brother anymore, right? You are the only child in our family?"
Aunt Lu became angrier and angrier, and hit Li Chen several times.
Li Chen didn't expect Aunt Lu to actually take action, so he quickly hid to the side.
"Mom, where did I say I don't care about my brother? He's still young. Give the job to Xiaoya first. Xiaoya and I will save money together. When he graduates from high school, we will find a way to buy him a job."
This sounds good, but it is not easy to put into practice.
Let’s not talk about whether Xiaoya will save money to buy a job for her brother-in-law. Let’s just say that when Li Chen’s younger brother wants to work in the future, there will definitely be a job waiting for them to buy, right?
Li Chen is now an apprentice in a furniture factory. He got this job after his father inquired about it for a long time and used his connections to get it.
Li Chen's younger brother Li Xing will graduate from high school next year. It was said at the beginning that Aunt Lu's job would be reserved for Li Xing.
If Li Xing can't find a job, he will take over Aunt Lu's job.
They have one daughter and two sons. When the eldest daughter reached marriageable age, people in the city were not yet forced to move to the countryside, but now every household requires someone to move to the countryside.
If Li Xing can't find a job next year, he will definitely be asked to move to the countryside by the neighborhood committee.
Li Xing is young, but not stupid at all. He has already told Aunt Lu not to give the job to Li Chen's girlfriend Xiaoya.
But Li Chen and Xiaoya had been in love for half a year, and Xiaoya didn't want a dowry, but just a job. She also promised that after she started working, she would give her salary to her family every month.
It sounds like Aunt Lu can get money without working, but her worries are the same as Li Xing's.
What if Xiaoya is unwilling to pay the money, or what if Li Xing is out of work?
In order to be fair, Aunt Lu never complained.
But Li Xing can wait, but Xiaoya cannot. She has given Li Chen an ultimatum that if Li Chen can't find a job, she will marry someone else.
Li Chen was so scared that he immediately came back to discuss it with Aunt Lu.
"Mom, just promise me. I promise that as long as you give the job to Xiaoya, we will definitely treat you well."
"In other words, if mom doesn't give the job to your wife, you won't be filial to her in the future?" Li Xing came back with his schoolbag and just heard what Li Chen said.
"Li Xing, I'm talking to my mom, why are you making trouble?" Li Chen scolded Li Xing.
In the past, the relationship between the two brothers was pretty good, but ever since Xiaoya asked for Aunt Lu's job, the relationship between the brothers has been in jeopardy.
"What do you mean by making trouble? I'm telling the truth. Your parents found you a job, so why should your parents help you with your wife's job? You're not the only child in our family, so what should I do?"
Li Xing was not afraid of Li Chen at all and spoke to him with his neck stiff.
"Mom," Li Chen called Aunt Lu, "Look at Li Xing, how do you talk to me?"
Aunt Lu came in with a plate, and Li Xing immediately took it and put it on the table. Aunt Lu then said, "Xiao Xing is right. You are not the only child in the family. We can't just consider you."
"Mom," Li Chen said louder, "Mom, I beg you, Xiaoya will definitely not marry me without a job. Xiaoya is a good person, she will definitely join me in honoring you, Mom."
Li Chen's voice was full of pleading. Neither he nor Xiaoya had the ability to find a job. Even if they had the chance, they couldn't afford the money. He could only beg Aunt Lu.
Aunt Lu looked at her eldest son who was pleading, then looked at her youngest son who was looking at her stubbornly, sighed, and said, "I can give you the job, but there is one condition."
