◎Work Implementation◎
During the slack season, the villagers would sit and chat outside their houses. When they saw Wei Xuan coming back, they would start shouting from a distance, "Is it Wei Xuan who's back? How's life in the city? Can you eat meat every day?"
"Why do you even need to ask? It's only been a few days since I last saw you. Is Wei Xuan prettier? It's true that city life is good for health!"
"Yes, yes, tell us quickly so that we can learn more."
"Yes, Wei Xuan, we are all from the same village. Don't forget to help us fellow villagers when you become rich."
Wei Xuan just smiled and didn't respond to these slightly sour jokes. Anyway, they didn't really want to hear what she had to say. They were just bored and used her as a novelty to pass the time.
The two of them hadn't reached home yet, but halfway through their journey they met their nephew and niece who came to pick them up.
"Mingming, Tiantian, Huanhuan, why are you here?" Wei Xuan said as she jumped off the back seat of the bicycle.
"Aunt, grandma asked us to come and see if you have arrived." Wei Mingming and Wei Tiantian are both sons of eldest brother Wei, one is eight years old and the other is six years old.
...
...
Wei Huanhuan is the eldest child in Wei Erge’s family. She is six years old this year. In addition, he has a three-year-old daughter named Wei Xi.
Seeing the two little ones staring at the cake hanging on the handlebars, Jiang Che said with great understanding, "You want to eat this? When we get back later, your uncle will open it and give it to you."
Wei Ming is older, and his face turned red with embarrassment when he heard that. However, Tiantian and Huanhuan still don't know their age. When they heard that there was something to eat, their eyes narrowed with smiles, and they thought that this uncle was a really good person.
Seeing that Jiang Che had made his three nephews smile happily with just a few words, Wei Xuan asked him, "Do you like children?"
"It's OK. I like it. Why? You don't like it?"
Wei Xuan was a little hesitant. It wasn’t that she didn’t like children. God knew, her biggest dream in her previous life was to get married and have children like a normal person and build a family of her own.
Her extreme desire for family made her want to have a bloodline of her own.
However, her body was still too young, having just turned eighteen after the Chinese New Year. Besides, her relationship with Jiang Che was not close enough. Although they were husband and wife, she always felt that something was missing, which made her not want to rush into the next stage of life with him.
And what will they use to raise the child after it is born? This is a money-eating beast! Raising a child is not such a simple thing. She doesn't want to let the child she has finally given birth to suffer. In short, now is not a good time to have a child.
Jiang Che saw that she was thinking about something and her brows were furrowed: "What are you thinking about?"
Retracting her thoughts, Wei Xuan raised her eyes and looked at him seriously and said, "Jiang Che, can we not have a child so early?"
"That's it?"
"Well, this is it. Is that okay?"
Jiang Che sneered: "I don't think it's a big deal, it's not worth your frown, okay, I promise you."
Wei Xuan muttered speechlessly: "If this is not a big deal, then what is a big deal?"
"Oh, don't worry, I don't want to have a child so early. Why would I give birth to a bastard to compete with me for food and drink? I want to live a carefree life for two more years and don't want to cause trouble for myself." Although Jiang Che was a bit of a jerk, he still had some self-knowledge. He obviously couldn't afford to raise a child now, and he still relied on his parents for support.
Wei Xuan was almost stunned by his remarks, and it took her a long time to find her voice: "But you just said you like children."
"That's someone else's child. I don't need to hold or raise him. It's fun to tease him a little."
Seeing Jiang Che's smug look, Wei Xuan thought to herself, a person like you doesn't deserve to have children!
When the two of them came back this time, they were warmly welcomed by everyone in the house as soon as they entered the door.
Not to mention Wei's father and mother, the three brothers of the Wei family were curious and surrounded their brother-in-law to ask about the things in the city, and the three sisters-in-law were even more busy, killing chickens and cutting meat. Wei Xuan was a little scared by their enthusiasm.
Wei's mother privately said to Wei Xuan: "It was on your wedding day when your son-in-law drove two cars to pick you up. They were immediately stunned. They were counting on you to help them in the future."
Wei Xuan laughed: "Jiang Che is not that capable. He only borrowed the car for my father-in-law's sake."
"No matter who they are related to, there are few people in this village who are married more beautifully than you. Anyway, you are not together all the time, so if they are willing to support you once in a while, just accept it. If they really need your help in the future, help them if you can without burdening yourself. If they really can't help you, just ignore them."
After a pause, he added, "But I guess they won't do anything serious to you. Except for your third sister-in-law, the other two are quite sensible and not so whimsical."
"Okay, I get it. If it's really a big deal, I can't help even if I want to."
After saying this, Wei's mother began to inquire about how Wei Xuan had been doing in the Jiang family these days and whether anyone had made things difficult for her.
"No, my three aunts don't live with us, and we only met once on the wedding day. Big Brother Jiang Che didn't even say a few words to us. They usually go to work very early, and we only meet them when they come back for dinner in the evening. But my mother-in-law said that she would arrange for me to work in the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Really?" Wei's mother was surprised and said, "Then you should thank your mother-in-law very much. Working in the supply and marketing cooperative is both respectable and prestigious. Most importantly, it is not tiring and it is more enjoyable than being a factory worker." The most important thing is the second sentence. Wei's mother knew that Jiang's eldest sister-in-law was a textile worker. If her daughter's job was better than hers, she would not be afraid of being looked down upon by her, a city girl.
"Yes, I will. When I get a job and earn some money in the future, I will take you to the city to spend a few days." Even if her mother-in-law didn't arrange a job for her, Wei Xuan was not the kind of person who was disrespectful to the elderly, not to mention that her mother-in-law was really nice to her now.
Although he seemed lukewarm towards her, he didn't make things difficult for her and even arranged work for her. No matter what the reason was, Wei Xuan definitely got the advantage.
"Okay, I'll wait. Oh, by the way, where does your son-in-law work now?"
Wei Xuan got angry when she talked about this: "My father-in-law wants to arrange for him to work in the factory, but I don't think he is very happy about it. Who knows what he thinks? I don't care about him."
The two of them had a quarrel over this last night, but she didn't bring it up again to save the old man from worrying about it.
What kind of person is Wei's mother? It is said that old people are cunning. How could she not hear the unhappiness in Wei Xuan's words? She quickly comforted her: "I think my son-in-law is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of things. He must have his own ideas. If you have anything to say, just tell him nicely. You can talk to him about anything, but you must not quarrel. Remember?"
Wei Xuan herself was of course aware of the truth, but she was a little depressed about Jiang Che's immaturity. She didn't say much in front of Wei's mother and agreed, "Okay, I understand. I will definitely go along with him, okay?"
"Oh, that's right." Wei's mother was afraid that her daughter would be stubborn, so she felt relieved to see that she had come to her senses.
Not long after lunch, the two of them were about to go back. Wei's mother also prepared a chicken and a basket of eggs as a return gift.
"Be careful on the road, and come back when you have time."
When they got home, Jiang's mother saw that the two did not come back empty-handed, and her expression became much better. No matter how much the things were, at least it showed that her daughter-in-law's family was polite, and that was enough.
During dinner, at the table, Jiang's mother told Wei Xuan the good news: "I have already informed the people. You can report with your household registration booklet tomorrow and transfer the food allowance to them."
Wei Xuan didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so quick. She thought she would have to wait another two days. She immediately agreed, "Okay, Mom, I'll do it tomorrow morning."
That night, Jiang Che was really upset because Wei Xuan decided to go to the beauty salon early to make a good impression on the leaders and colleagues of the supply and marketing cooperative. She had not yet recovered from the tossing and turning of the previous two days.
The next morning, Wei Xuan was radiant. After breakfast, she packed up and prepared to go out. Jiang Che was also dragged to the factory by Brother Jiang. Jiang's father gave him an order that he must watch Jiang Che complete the work today.
Wei Xuan applauded her father-in-law in her heart, saying that extraordinary measures would be necessary to deal with Jiang Che.
The supply and marketing cooperative was not far from her home, and it only took ten minutes to walk there. When Wei Xuan arrived, it was the busiest time of the cooperative. She waited for a while and finally saw a saleswoman who was a little free. She hurried forward to ask, "Excuse me, who should I contact when I come to report today?"
The salesperson glanced at the household registration booklet she had spread out, pointed inside and said, "Director Niu is in the office inside, you can just go in."
"Oh ok, thank you."
The director was a man in his forties. When he saw Wei Xuan, he smiled and asked, "Are you the daughter-in-law of Accountant Wu?"
Wei Xuan remembered Jiang Che saying that her mother-in-law was an accountant at a textile factory.
"Yes, Director, my name is Wei Xuan. I'm here to report in."
"Okay, come with me. You're here quite early. I thought you would come in the afternoon. Give me your household registration booklet and I'll get it done for you. You can come to work directly tomorrow."
Wei Xuan handed him the household registration booklet, and the procedures were completed in less than ten minutes.
After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Wei Xuan bought some vegetables.
There was no one at home, so Wei Xuan just made something to fill her stomach at noon. After lunch, she went back to her room and took a nap.
When she woke up, she found someone lying next to her. She was so scared that she almost screamed. When she looked carefully, it turned out to be Jiang Che.
"Didn't you go to the factory? Why are you here?"
Jiang Che was also awakened by her actions. Hearing this, he said, "Today we are going to register for the exam. We will officially start work tomorrow."
Wei Xuan came down from the bed and asked casually, "So did you pass the exam?"
"Hehe, you underestimate me, don't you? I am an excellent high school graduate after all. I just don't want to do it normally, but if I get serious, I am not someone who can compare to your husband."
