Ying rolled her eyes and soon began to laugh happily.
"If Ayi can also go to work in the shipyard - that would be great! Hu Zi's mother, did Aqi say that he could arrange for her? Has he?"
Chen Xingling nodded: "He said that if Gu Yi likes the environment there, he will go to discuss it with the factory manager, and it should be fine."
Ying laughed: "If the shipyard wants Ayi, then you must go there! The welfare there is great, and the salary is too high! Ayi, there is no need to go there at all. Mom, I have been there, and I still remember it clearly. The shipyard is huge, much larger than our street! There is a workers' canteen, kindergarten and primary school, with thousands of people! The department where your eldest brother works alone has 300 to 400 people!"
Gu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at Chen Xingling.
"My eldest brother said that we should go and take a look before making a decision. I think we need some time to slow down and complete the formalities, so - that's why I asked you to wait another two or three months!"
Ying glanced at him and snorted, "As long as you don't stay in that remote corner of the mountain and marry a little village girl, we can discuss everything else!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Yi said with a little embarrassment: "The students who went to the countryside together were laughing and chatting together all day long, and they had no scruples when talking in private. They were just joking, why did you take it seriously!"
Yingying was thinking about something more important, so she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead! Go pack up! I'll go south with your sister-in-law and Xiaohuzi the day after tomorrow."
"Hey!" Gu Yi ran back to the room.
Gu Miao looked at her second brother's excited back with envy, and asked in a sour tone: "Mom, if my second brother can go to work in the shipyard, then I can go there too, right?"
"Let's talk about it after you graduate from high school." Ying lowered her voice and said, "I've heard from the factory manager before that our technical workers must have a high level of education in order to have a chance to be promoted. Um... In other words, you must study and have an education first, then people will give you the opportunity to learn our technology and give you a high salary, do you understand?"
Gu Miao pouted and nodded: "Okay. Anyway, I will be a freshman next semester, so I don't have to wait too long!"
Chen Xingling was about to step out, but when he heard the words, he stopped and turned around.
"Mom, Uncle Qin and his friends asked Aqi to find a job for Qin Tiantian, but Aqi refused, saying that the jobs there were not suitable for girls. In addition, Aqi also said that the factory director could arrange a job for Ayi out of respect, but there were not many opportunities, and not only would other workers be dissatisfied, but the factory director would also be embarrassed. I told Aqi that since there was no opportunity, he must give it to his family. Mom, don't you agree?"
"Oh? Oh oh!" Hu Ying understood and hesitated: "Well - if I have a chance, I should give it to my own brothers! Right, right, right! Hu Zi's mother, you are right! Very right!"
No matter how caring Qin Tiantian is to her, she is, after all, someone else's daughter. How can she compare to her own son!
Her son will be able to take care of her in her old age and send her money every month. It is not her own son that she should rely on.
She originally thought that Ayi's education level was not high, so she didn't dare to expect him to work in a large unit like her elder son, so she racked her brains to force him to work in the supply and marketing department in the suburbs.
If there is a chance to go to a shipyard, I would give it to my own son!
Gu Miao felt a little reluctant and whispered quietly: "Mom, Sister Tiantian has always wanted to go..."
"Hey!" Ying interrupted her coldly and said, "Your sister-in-law is right. If you have a job opportunity, you should take care of your family first. Your second brother has been in the countryside for a few days and still hasn't found a job. You must take care of him first!"
Gu Miao just shut up and said nothing.
Chen Xingling chuckled to himself and left with brisk steps.
That afternoon, Qin Tiantian came again, but only Gu Miao was there to talk to her. Ying was hiding in the room taking a nap and didn't even come out to say hello.
When Qin Tiantian heard that Gu Qi was hastily transferred, she was secretly happy, thinking that Chen Xingling would not be able to return to Yucheng this time. Unexpectedly, Gu Miao said that Gu Yi wanted to send her and Xiao Huzi south, which made her so angry that she clenched her fists.
"Brother Qi is so busy, why did he arrange for Brother Yi to send her to Yucheng?"
Gu Miao nodded: "Yes!"
Qin Tiantian gritted her teeth secretly and forced her usual gentle smile.
"Auntie doesn't like her..."
"No." Gu Miao curled her lips and whispered, "My mother doesn't dare to be mean to her recently. She has my eldest brother's support, and she can make some small things to make money. She made dozens of dollars in two or three days. When my mother saw that she could make money, her attitude towards her changed immediately."
Qin Tiantian's gentle smile was a little hard to hold, and she murmured: "Auntie said before... that she would persuade Brother Qi to find me a job in the shipyard and let me go to the south to take care of him. Ah Miao, you know me. I have always wanted to be with Brother Qi."
Gu Miao dodged his gaze and said perfunctorily, "My eldest brother couldn't get rid of that Chen... I think you should stop thinking about my eldest brother. He's already married... Little Tiger is already three years old."
"What about work?"
"My eldest brother seems to say that it's not suitable for you. I...I don't know either."
“…”
Chen Xingling was reading in the room. He saw Qin Tiantian coming in dressed up beautifully and smiling, but left with a distraught look on her face. He leisurely took a sip of the tonic soup, licked the corner of his mouth, and continued reading in a happy mood.
Two days later, at dawn, the lights in Gu's house were turned on.
After a while, a donkey cart arrived at the gate of the Gu family.
Gu Yi took out all the bags, big and small, and stuffed them all into the car.
Chen Xingling, wearing a brand new coat and cloth shoes, wrapped in a red cloth blanket, took his chubby son out to the car.
"Ayi! Little Huzi!" Ying cried with red eyes, "Be careful on the road! Huzi, listen to your uncle and your mother, don't run around! Remember - think of grandma! Ayi, be careful!"
Little Tiger was filled with excitement and excitement about going on a long journey, without any sadness of separation, and just responded with a crisp "Hey!"
Gu Yi's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly, "Mom, don't worry. The weather is cold and the car is small, so you don't have to go to the train station with us. We'll telegraph you when we get there."
Ying cried and called the names of her son and grandson.
Chen Xingling looked at the old woman with tearful eyes, took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to her.
"Mom, I don't know how long Aqi will stay on the ship. Before he left that morning, his boss gave him this envelope, and he turned around and stuffed it into my hand, then left in a hurry. Later I opened it and found a hundred dollars inside. I took twenty dollars for the trip, and left eighty dollars for home. He probably won't be able to remit your salary this month, so take this money first."
Ying looked at her in surprise, stroking the envelope in disbelief, and murmured, "...Hu. That...Hu Zi's mother, be careful on the road."
Chen Xingling nodded coldly and got into the car.
Gu Yi poked his head out and lowered his voice: "Look how kind my sister-in-law is. She is leaving, but she still remembers to give you money to take care of the family. Originally, this money was given to her by my eldest brother, and my sister-in-law gave you a full 80 yuan."
Ying was stubborn and said, "It was originally earned by Aqi..."
Gu Yi glared at her and shouted, "Master! Let's go!"
Soon, the donkey cart slowly went away and disappeared in the misty morning fog.
