◎House hunting◎
Because the call indicated that it was for Wei Sange, after hearing the broadcast, Wei's mother let him go: "It's probably your wife calling, go and see what she wants."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
When Brother Wei San walked to the entrance of the brigade with a cheerful step, he wiped the sweat from his forehead before walking in and picking up the phone: "Hello, is this my wife?"
"It's me." Mrs. Wei San was worried and didn't have time to be affectionate with him. After confirming that it was him, she got straight to business.
Brother Wei San on the other end of the phone listened in a daze and had only one thought: either his ears were broken or his wife was crazy and started talking nonsense.
After digesting it for a long time, he asked, "How can you afford to buy my job?"
Mrs. Wei scolded angrily, "Are you stupid? You don't have cash, but when I start working, won't I get a salary? I can pay it back to my younger sister every month."
"Then when will we have to pay back the money?" Brother Wei grinned, "It will take a long time before we can get the money ourselves!"
...
...
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just tell me if it's okay or not. If it's okay, I'll tell my little sister before she finds someone else. Otherwise, it will be too late after she sells it."
Brother Wei San actually knew that what his wife said would be good for them. He said that just now because he felt that if his wife stayed in the city, wouldn't they have to continue living separately like they are now?
Thinking of this, he felt aggrieved: "Wife, if you don't want to think about me, you have to think about Xiangxiang, right? If you don't come back, he will forget you." Is it easy for him to be both a father and a mother during this period of time?
Speaking of her son, how could Mrs. Wei not miss him? He was a piece of flesh that fell from her belly!
Fighting back tears, Mrs. Wei said to her husband on the other end of the phone, "I want to seize this opportunity just for Xiangxiang. Once I have established myself in Beijing, I will find a way to bring you two here. Besides, you can bring Xiangxiang here to stay for a few days when you have nothing to do. Beijing is only two hours away from my hometown. As long as you have money, are you still afraid of not being able to meet him?"
His wife could be so decisive. Brother Wei San didn't want to continue to be nagging and let his wife look down on him, so he had to nod and agree.
Mrs. Wei was pleasantly surprised and said, "Then you should talk to your parents nicely."
After hanging up the phone, Brother Wei San returned home. Seeing that his mother was not in the yard, he strolled into the kitchen to look for her.
When Wei's mother saw him coming back, she asked him, "Did your wife say when she would be back?"
Mrs. Wei Dasao and Mrs. Wei Ersao also looked at him, eager to know when the third sister would come back. The busy farming season was about to begin, and it would be more stressful for them if they had one more person to help at home.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Third Brother Wei hesitated for a long time without saying anything. He was just thinking about looking for his mother and forgot that his sisters-in-law were also there. How could he start talking?
In the end, it was Wei's mother who noticed something was wrong and asked him what was wrong.
"Mom, um, I have something I want to discuss with you and dad."
Mother Wei first glanced at her two daughters-in-law, then put down the rag in her hand and walked out.
Third Brother Wei quickly jogged to catch up.
After the two men walked away, Mrs. Wei Da and Mrs. Wei San no longer had the heart to work, and they huddled together and whispered.
"What do you think the Third Brother wants to say to Mother? And he wants to avoid us."
Mrs. Wei was absent-mindedly washing the cabbage in her hands: "How should I know?"
"Could it be that the third brother doesn't plan to come back?"
You know what, Mrs. Wei’s guess was pretty accurate. Inside the house, after Wei San Ge told his parents the whole story, his mother asked him, "Was this your wife's idea?"
Thinking that his mother was blaming his wife, the third brother Wei quickly spoke up for his wife: "Mom, not only my wife, I think so too. This opportunity is really rare. I just think it would be a pity if I missed it."
How could Wei's mother not know this, but she also had to consider the eldest and second daughters. If the third daughter's family really took over her daughter's job, it would be different from asking her to take over the job as a substitute before.
Let the third child take over the job. Although there is one less person working at home, the monthly salary is in her hands. This means that no matter how much money the third child earns, it all belongs to the family.
But if she were to take over her daughter's job now, first of all, she would definitely lose her monthly salary as she would have to pay back Ni'er first. Secondly, with a job, wouldn't it be equivalent to her staying in Beijing permanently? Would the other two daughters-in-law in the family agree?
It’s okay now while she and the old man are still here, but when he and the old man are gone, how will the work be divided?
The most important thing is that the third son's wife has to stay in the city alone, and she will inevitably be separated from the third son. What will it be like for the couple to live apart for a long time?
So she analyzed all of this to her third son.
Section 40
"You have to think it over carefully. This is not something you can just decide on impulse. Anyway, I've said it before. You're already that old, you should think about it carefully. As for your sister, I'll write her a letter later and you can mail it to her tomorrow morning for me."
Seeing that her third son was determined, she knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless, so she had to ask her daughter what to do about the matter.
Mrs. Wei didn't know that her mother-in-law had decided to write a letter to her younger sister-in-law after hearing about this. After hanging up the phone, she wanted to find her younger sister and tell her about it, but then she thought that her brother-in-law must have returned from get off work by now, so she changed her mind and decided to wait until tomorrow when her brother-in-law was not around to talk to her younger sister alone.
Wei Xuan was also talking about this matter with Jiang Che at home at this time.
Jiang Che didn't think it was a big deal that his wife didn't go to work. Not to mention that his daughter was still young, he was reluctant to send her to a nursery. Besides, the money his wife earned every day was higher than the monthly salary of the supply and marketing cooperative, and it wasn't necessary for her to rely on this job to make a living.
So if you don't want to go, don't go.
Wei Xuan was happy that Jiang Che had come to her senses, but she still hesitated and asked, "What about my parents?"
"I'll talk to my parents. It's okay. They will definitely understand that you have to take care of the child now."
In this way, Wei Xuan was completely relieved.
The next day, Wei Xuan did not wait for Wei Sansao, but instead waited for Bian Qianqian and Cheng Shao to come.
"Why are you guys here so early? Isn't your family busy lately?"
It's not even nine in the morning yet. These two people show up at her house at this time. How early must they get up in the morning!
It was Bian Qianqian who explained: "We came here yesterday and stayed at my aunt's house for one night."
"Won't the child make a fuss if he's left alone at home?"
"There's nothing we can do about it, sister-in-law. We're here for something important. Qianqian and I are planning to move to the city, but we've been searching for a long time and haven't found a house with a private door or yard like yours. We have no other choice but to come here and ask if there are any houses like this for rent nearby." Cheng Shao explained his purpose directly.
Wei Xuan was about to lead the group into the house when she heard this and asked in surprise, "Why are you moving it up here?"
Bian Qianqian said happily: "I didn't want to live in the village for a long time. I couldn't get used to it at all. But I didn't have money before and there was nothing I could do. The summer harvest started in the village in the past half month, and Cheng Shao made some money from selling grain, so I planned to move up with my children."
Cheng Shao also smiled and said, "Yes, I made Qianqian and her son suffer with me before. Now that I have the conditions, I still think it is more convenient to live in the city. Also, I am selling food now, so I have to be in the city most of the time. It will be more convenient for me to have a home in the city."
Wei Xuan understood, but after thinking for a moment, she really couldn't think of any houses with independent entrances and courtyards for rent: "My house was originally connected to the courtyard in front, but it was blocked on both sides to form the current layout. Besides, this house was introduced to me by someone else. Now that you guys suddenly asked me, I really don't know where there are similar courtyards for rent."
Thinking that Jiang Che was looking for a house recently and might know more, he suggested, "How about this, wait for your brother Jiang to come back and ask him. He's also been looking for a house recently and he's probably checked out all the houses around here. Maybe he might know something."
"Brother Jiang, why are you looking for a house? Isn't your current house good enough?"
"That's not the case. This house is good, but we just want to see if there are any houses for sale. We think it would be more comfortable to buy one ourselves."
Cheng Shao gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sister-in-law, you guys are really thinking ahead. We just don't have much money right now. If we had more, we would learn from you and buy a house to live in."
Wei Xuan said politely, "We would like to buy it, but no one is selling it. Besides, you are making a lot of money doing this now. Maybe you can buy a house for yourself soon."
As they were chatting, the child in the room woke up. Cheng Shao and Bian Qianqian tactfully said goodbye, saying that they would come back to disturb them again in the afternoon when Jiang Che came back.
Wei Xuan didn't keep them either, as she saw the child crying louder and louder.
Cheng Shao waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't see me off. Go see your niece. We'll leave first."
"Okay, then slow down."
Wei Xuan quickened her pace and ran into the room. Yuanyuan had already sat up on the edge of the bed. When she saw her mother coming, she cried even more aggrievedly.
"Wuwu....Ah~mother"
Wei Xuan picked up her daughter and coaxed her, "Oh, our Yuanyuan misses her mother, right? Don't cry, don't cry."
After finally coaxing the little ancestor into submission, Wei Xuan went outside to fetch some water to wash her face, which was covered in tears.
Perhaps because Yuanyuan had just woken up, she didn't want to leave her mother's arms for a moment. Wei Xuan had no choice but to hold her in one hand while working with the other.
Yuanyuan is a clean-loving girl and she doesn’t mind washing her face at all. When Wei Xuan wants to wipe her face, she tilts her little head back to cooperate and doesn’t hide at all.
After wiping her face, Wei Xuan also applied some perfume on her. The little girl was so happy that she thought her mother was playing with her. She laughed so hard that she hiccuped for a while before stopping.
Wei Xuan's heart melted when she saw her child. How could he be so adorable? At this moment, she finally understood those parents who were crazy about showing off their children in her previous life. If she was not limited by her circumstances, she would also want to show off to others how cute her child is.
Oh, by the way, she can buy a camera and take more pictures of Yuanyuan! When she grows up, she can also see herself as a child. How meaningful it is.
So when Jiang Che came back in the evening, Wei Xuan told him about this.
"Camera?" Jiang Che thought this was a good suggestion.
"I remember that I could buy one for about two hundred dollars, but it would definitely require a lot of industrial volume. How about I go ask my parents tomorrow?"
