Chapter 162 Work Dispute
"Uncle, why are you here?" Old man An Jianmin saw his uncle enter the yard.
"My dear, good news, you passed the exam."
"Jianjun just sent the news that you and your eldest cousin both passed the exam." The team leader patted the old man on the shoulder. He thought the old man was the least likely to pass, but unexpectedly, the old man was the one who succeeded in the end.
"Really, congratulations, uncle. My eldest cousin also passed the exam." The eldest uncle also congratulated the uncle. It was not in vain for both families this time.
At this time, the eldest brother's family, his wife, and the fourth brother's family also came out, "Congratulations, old man!"
"Congratulations, brother!" The eldest and the fourth brother both congratulated the old man An Jianmin.
They knew why the old man was able to pass the exam, because An Jianmin was really hardworking. In order to memorize all the knowledge, the old man not only got up early and memorized it while working, but also stayed up late at night to memorize it.
As expected, hard work and rewards are directly proportional. He was better than his two brothers, so it was not surprising that the elder one was admitted in the end.
"Dad, you are so awesome. Can we go into the city now?" Xiaoya was very happy.
"Yes, Dad can take you back to the city." The old man's eyes were filled with tears. He finally made it.
He has four daughters, but he actually feels the most pressure. Although people say that daughters are money-losing goods and don't cost much to marry them off, they can still be exchanged for a betrothal gift.
But he didn't think so. It wouldn't matter whether the girl got married with or without a dowry.
With a rich dowry, not only will the in-laws look up to her, but it will also be a way out for the daughter.
Just look at my third brother's wife and you will understand. She was raised in pampered condition and after marriage, her father gave her a huge dowry. She lives a happy and harmonious life.
He has four daughters in his family, and he has to consider them.
So what if he doesn't have a son? An Jianmin will still marry his daughter off in style and live a good life for everyone to see.
His wife almost lost her life giving birth to a son, so he has to work hard for this family and let his mother and daughter live a good life.
"Okay, you guys chat, I'm leaving." The uncle was comforted to see that his three nephews were not unhappy because of work.
But... I can't say for sure about that awful thing in his house.
During this period, An Jian and Zhao Meili simply made their relationship public and went out together. Anyway, they had decided to get married in May.
An Jianye was obviously obsessed with Zhao Meili and never came home all day.
Humph, even though he has lost his soul, he still managed to pass the exam!
"Old man, I heard that Jianjun sent a telegram?" The captain's wife quickly grabbed her old man.
"Yeah." The captain nodded.
"Then..." The captain's wife looked at him expectantly.
Their family spent a lot of money on this exam, including travel expenses and living expenses. They were afraid that they would have a hard time studying, so they specially gave them eggs every day to supplement their nutrition.
"Dad!" An Jian ran back in a hurry.
"Are there any results?"
At this time, the eldest son's wife also heard the noise and came out. Of course, she was also concerned, because this was her husband's future.
"Go find your elder brother first." The captain instructed his youngest son.
"Dad, just tell me first!" An Jian couldn't wait any longer.
"Just do it!" the captain roared.
"Okay, okay, I'll be right there!" An Jian ran out of the door to find his elder brother.
When the two brothers came back, the team leader was already sitting on the kang, smoking a pipe.
"Dad, there's news from Jianjun." The captain's eldest son, An Jiandang, came back.
The captain looked at his two sons and said, "Jianjun sent us a telegram. Among all of you, two people passed the exam. One is your uncle's old man Jianmin. As for the other one..."
"Dad!" An Jian felt that his answer was good, it should be him.
"Build the Party, work hard, Dad is proud of you!" The team leader smiled with satisfaction and looked at his eldest son.
Although the eldest son is not as smart as the younger one, fortunately he is down-to-earth and hardworking. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, his life will be fine in the future.
It's just right that his two grandsons can also broaden their horizons.
"Dad, is it really me?" An Jiandang looked incredulous. His younger brother was smarter than him. He thought...
"Impossible, Dad, is there something wrong?" An Jianye clearly felt that he had done well in the exam.
"Hmph, you're just a half-full bottle, always thinking you're capable. Look, could your brother Jianjun be wrong?" The captain slammed the telegram sent by An Jianjun on the table.
An Jian took it over.
It said: My eldest cousin An Jiandang and my younger brother An Jianmin have been accepted, are packing their bags and preparing to start work.
"I don't believe it, this isn't true!" An Jian had already promised Zhao Meili that he would definitely pass the exam.
How could he explain this to Zhao Meili?
"Okay, the matter is settled. Jianye, let's wait for the next opportunity." The captain didn't want to argue with his youngest son anymore.
"Brother..., you're my good brother, please...please help me and give me your job, okay? I'll give you a portion of my salary every month, which is like buying this job from you."
"I can't live without a job in the city. I can't explain to Zhao Meili. What if she doesn't marry me? You don't want your brother to be unable to find a wife, do you?" An Jianye grabbed An Jiandang's arm tightly.
An Jiandang felt a little sorry when he saw his brother's miserable appearance.
"Snap!" There was a sound.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The captain slammed the table. He knew that this nonsensical guy couldn't say anything good.
"Brother, I beg you!"
"Mom, please help me!" He couldn't bear the thought of Zhao Meili's disappointed look.
He didn't want to separate from Zhao Meili. He knew that Zhao Meili was willing to be with him, largely because this job was a plus. Otherwise, she would definitely look down on him.
The captain's wife felt a little reluctant.
When An Jiandang's wife saw her mother-in-law's expression, she turned against An Jiandang before her mother-in-law could say anything.
"Brother, what are you talking about? This is no small matter. We have two sons. Your two nephews are getting older and older. These half-grown boys are eating me out of my house. Your eldest brother needs this job more than anyone else."
"Besides, your eldest brother got in on his own merit. How can you just give him up? Isn't that cheating? If he's caught, no one else will get the job, and it will also implicate Jianjun. Have you thought about the consequences?"
An Jiandang's wife was not going to take it anymore. She really thought she was a soft persimmon. She, Zhao Meili, hadn't even entered the house yet, but she wanted to stir up trouble and steal her husband's job. That was impossible!
