354 You keep it for yourself. I will give it to Chen Chen when I get back.

It was Bai Hua who exchanged the Rubik's Cube with Fu Yuanhang last time.

The three of them squeezed out together, put the things aside for Mo Gong to watch, and then began to talk about the past.

Anyone who knows will understand the excitement of meeting an acquaintance in a foreign place. Mumu almost jumped up: "Bai Hua, why are you here?"

Bai Hua said: "After listening to your suggestions last time, I went back to learn more about the factory you mentioned. I think this -"

Bai Hua gave a thumbs up and said, "I even found out the address of the factory and went to see it. It's the first time I've seen such a large factory. I've decided that I will never go to the countryside again. I want to pass the exam and work in that factory!"

Fu Yuanhang and Mumu looked at each other. They didn't expect that this man was so receptive to advice.

"Then what are you doing here today?" Mu Mu asked.

"To make money. If I don't earn enough for tuition and living expenses, I will have to go to the countryside in September next year," said Bai Hua.

Mumu thought for a moment and said, "Brother, there is something I want to ask you. I don't know if I should ask you this or not."

Bai Hua waved his hands: "Then don't ask."

Mumu: “…”

"Let me ask you something. Since you live in the county party committee compound, your stepmother and others shouldn't be mean to you. Don't they care about their reputation?"

Bai Hua sighed, "I did some stupid things when I was young, which gave that woman the opportunity to dump the shit pot on my head. She said bad things about me everywhere and ruined my reputation.

Even my own father doesn’t believe me, how can anyone else believe me? She was obviously mean to me, but because of that rattlesnake, the whole compound thought I was mean to her.”

When talking about the stepmother, Bai Hua had a lot of complaints but nowhere to vent them:

"You know what? She was the one who beat and pinched the child, but she went out and said it was me.

She also said that it was difficult for my stepmother, that it was her fault for not teaching me well, and that she hoped that after I graduated from junior high school, I could respond to the country's call and go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants, and become a good person in the future."

As the saying goes, every family has its own problems. When faced with something like this, Fu Yuanhang and Mumu didn't know how to comment on it.

Fu Yuanhang thought for a moment and said, "I talked to my sister-in-law about your situation. She said that we should wait until you are sixteen years old before we can talk about work."

"She's here today too. I'll ask her if you can go to the factory to work part-time on weekends to earn money for your studies. If you go every week, you can earn some money for tuition and living expenses. It should be possible.

The factory is a bit far away, so you might have to find a way to get there by yourself.”

Bai Hua stared at Fu Yuanhang blankly: "Your sister-in-law?"

Mumu said: "She is the director of the factory you mentioned."

Bai Hua opened his mouth into an O shape: "So you guys are so powerful."

Mumu waved his hands and said, "What's the big deal? We don't have any special privileges. The recruitment of workers in the food factory is very fair. The conditions are there. If you don't meet the conditions, no matter who says so, it won't work.

However, if there are students who need help and want to work part-time to earn money for their studies, we can help them. We all work part-time in the factory when we have time."

Bai Hua nodded: "Is that so? Then I can still do it. My mother left me a bicycle. I usually ride it around when I have nothing to do."

Bai Hua came closer and whispered, "Actually, my mom and grandma left me a lot of things, but they are all in the hands of my damn dad.

They even said they would keep it for me and would return it to me when I turned 18. Bah! They were in such a hurry to send me to the countryside, probably because they wanted to steal my things.

Fu Yuanhang and Mumu looked at each other again.

Fu Yuanhang said, "I don't think they would dare to do that. Did your mother and grandmother leave any will or something like that? Otherwise, where are the witnesses?"

Bai Hua nodded: "Yes, but the premise is that I have to be alive. The other day I heard you say that you were from the countryside, and the countryside is not as easy to penetrate as I thought, so I went out to ask more.

It turns out that everyone who went there regretted it so much that they all tried to find ways to go back. I almost got fooled. I thought that I would be free if I could get out of that hell. "

Fu Yuanhang said: "The educated youth in our area all want to return to the city. Life in the countryside is too hard and there is no hope. You can't endure it."

Fu Yuanhang was silent for a moment, thinking back, if his sister-in-law had not married his brother, she would not have been able to endure.

"Yeah, I'm not stupid. Of course I won't go after finding out everything. I also know that your sister-in-law's factory has dormitories.

I have seen it all, the newly built tube-shaped building is very beautiful, I will definitely work hard to get in."

Mumu reminded him: "Then you'd better not do anything illegal or criminal. It's best not to do anything like the black market or anything that undermines socialism. Sister Taozi is very strict when recruiting people.

You can work part-time to earn money for your studies. If you perform well, you may be able to become a full-time employee when you are old enough."

Bai Hua looked at them with a troubled expression.

He would feel unhappy if he didn't take some things from home and exchange them for money.

Those were all good things left by his mother and grandmother, how could they be given to that vicious stepmother?

Mumu said: "In fact, if you really wanted to quarrel with me, your father would not dare to do anything, let alone send you to the countryside after you graduated from junior high school.

You can go to his workplace and make trouble, and tell his leader that you want to go to high school and go to the countryside at the age of fifteen. That is not re-education, but causing trouble for your fellow villagers.

If your father still has some dignity, he won’t dare to do anything to you. If that doesn’t work, go to your stepmother’s workplace and make trouble. I think that will work.”

Fu Yuanhang looked at Mumu with an indescribable look.

It must be said that this method is a bit damaging, but it should work.

Bai Hua had thought about it before. He could do without fame, but he had to save face, so he never did it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if it really comes to that, the worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed.

By the way, how can I contact you regarding work-study programs?"

Fu Yuanhang said: "Normally, I will be at People's Square at 8:30 a.m. on Sundays. If you want to find me, just wait there."

Thanks to his stepmother, Bai Hua had a bad reputation in school and few classmates were willing to play with him.

He had a close relationship with Fu Yuanhang and Mumu, and he really treated them as friends.

"Okay, if you have any news, please inform me, or you can come to the county committee compound to find me directly."

Bai Hua finished speaking, stuffed something into Fu Yuanhang and Mumu's hands and ran away: "Then I'll leave first, see you later."

Fu Yuanhang and Mumu looked down at the thing in their hands and found it was a lifelike little tiger toy.

It's a bit heavy, probably made of iron sheet, and the color is very beautiful, it really looks nice.

"Next year is the Year of the Tiger, right?" Mumu asked.

Fu Yuanhang nodded: "Yes."

Mumu "tsk tsk" twice: "He took these two little things to the black market, and probably could exchange them for some money, but he just gave them to us like this?"

Fu Yuanhang stared at the little tiger and said with a smile: "It's okay, Chenchen will probably like this little thing very much. I'll think of a way to subsidize him when there's a chance."

Mumu stroked the little tiger and couldn't let it go: "I like it too. It seems not good to give it to Pangpang and not Dongdong. Ahang, don't you agree?"

Fu Yuanhang: "Okay, keep it for yourself, I'll give it to Chenchen when I get back."

Mumu smiled and said, "Then I'll hide first!"
