Chapter 492 It’s too difficult to reunite
"Madam, this is your granddaughter-in-law, right? Why didn't you go out to pay New Year's greetings? Do you feel embarrassed?"
Around ten o'clock, another group of people came to the house. According to the old lady, they were from the Huang family who lived at the intersection east of them. However, Mr. Huang's sons worked in other places and seldom came back, so Qiao Mo didn't know them. But he didn't expect that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family would mock Qiao Mo in a sarcastic tone as soon as she came.
"Qiao Mo is Mingyuan's wife and a student at the University of Foreign Languages. She went out to pay New Year's greetings. There's nothing wrong with it. But she is pregnant and we are afraid that she might get hurt, so we let her stay at home to entertain the guests." The old lady said lightly.
The Huang family once wanted to marry into their family and had their eyes on Mingyuan, who had just entered the research institute. However, Mingyuan had already been engaged to Qiao Mo at that time and naturally refused. Unexpectedly, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family would attack Qiao Mo because of this.
"So you're pregnant! Congratulations, old lady! You'll have a baby soon." A middle-aged man nearby glared at the woman and tried to smooth things over: "Stupid woman! They're here to bond, why is she taunting someone else's grandson's wife? She's just offending them for no reason."
"Thank you, Xiao Huang. I heard that you two are planning to transfer back to Donghai?" The old lady smiled at Mr. Huang.
"Well, Mom and Dad are old, and we should come back to fulfill our filial duties." Huang Lao Da nodded. In order to avoid the limelight, they brothers were transferred to other places one by one. Now is the time to return. Otherwise, it will not only affect their own future, but also the marriages of their children.
"Have you found a receiving unit?" the old man asked. Although he and Old Huang did not belong to the same system, they had been neighbors for decades and had some ties of kinship. Naturally, he also hoped that Old Huang could be reunited with his family.
"There is already some progress." Boss Huang nodded. After more than a year of hard work, they had found a receiving unit, but their two children still had no place to stay. At this time, he felt a little regretful that his daughter and Kang Mingyuan had not been together. Otherwise, with the help of the Kang family, he would not have to worry about his daughter's health.
"There's some clues. Where are your other brothers?"
"They also want to come back, but it was not easy to go out in the first place, and it is even harder to come back now." Boss Huang sighed. They have four brothers. Except for the fourth brother who stayed in Donghai, the other three tried their best to go to other places. Although they are still active now, it is unknown when they can come back.
"Take your time, you will be able to transfer back. If that doesn't work, let the children come back first." The old man certainly knows how difficult it is to return to Donghai now: starting this year, with the return of a large number of educated youth to the city, it has become increasingly difficult to find a job, and it has become more and more difficult to transfer jobs.
"It's too difficult." Boss Huang nodded. "If possible, we'd also like to let the children come back first, but right now, companies in Donghai are only recruiting unemployed young people with Donghai household registration."
"Then I'll find a way to get a Donghai household registration first." The old lady thought to herself that she would move her household registration back first, and then find a job later. There are so many companies in Donghai, and she believed that as long as she had the ability, she would always be able to find a job.
"A household registration in Donghai is too valuable nowadays. The only way to move back here is to get admitted to a university there or transfer jobs." Boss Huang said with a wry smile, shaking his head. "Kang Bo, aren't Brother Kang and the others planning to transfer back?"
"They can't come back for the time being, but Suiyuan has been transferred to the Kyoto Military Region, and Ningyuan has also been transferred to the neighboring province." The old man shook his head. His two sons could not move for the time being, but in the second half of this year, through their own efforts, Kang Suiyuan, who was originally in the Northeast, was transferred to the Kyoto Military Region, and Kang Ningyuan, who was originally in the southwest border, was also transferred to the field troops in the neighboring province, and both were promoted.
"They are all soldiers, it is impossible for all of them to return to Donghai." Huang Lao Da said enviously. Several sons of the Kang family are soldiers, and all the grandsons except Kang Mingyuan are in the army. Even if they retire in the future, they can return to Donghai.
"So it's too difficult to have a family reunion." The old man nodded. He no longer expected the family to be reunited. He just wanted them to come back to see him every year.
With the arrival of the next wave of guests, Mr. and Mrs. Huang did not stay long and left after sitting for a while.
