Zhao Jinchuan pushed his glasses. He and Sun Guodong were high school students in the village. As long as they had someone in the county, they could get a job in a state-owned unit. Unfortunately, his father refused to help find someone.
Listening to what his sister and elder brother said, he felt very annoyed. Farming was not his ambition, and he didn't want to live his whole life in mediocrity.
"Brother, I heard that you have many comrades in the city. Can you ask them for help and get me a job in a state-owned factory?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Yuying dared not say a word. Although she was the youngest in the family, her second brother was a good student and her parents had high hopes for him. When he spoke, she could not say a word. It had become a habit.
"You are educated enough, but your rural household registration is a disadvantage. None of my comrades can help you. You should join the army! Train for a few years and be assigned to a state-owned unit when you come back."
Zhao Jinchen frowned and answered. He didn't like to rely on connections and still hoped that his brother would move forward step by step. He felt bad seeing his brother's expectant eyes dimmed after hearing his words.
My second younger brother is the pride of the family. If he had a city hukou, he would definitely be able to get a good job based on his education level.
"I think what your elder brother said is right. Go to the army to train for two years. With your education level, you might be promoted. Then you won't have to worry about not having a good job."
Zhao Yaozu took a sip of Erguotou and said in a deep voice that the second son used to be the pride of the family, but now, the eldest son is doing well in the army and has a promising future, maybe he will be the one to bring honor to the family in the future.
"Ha, look at my thick glasses, will the army want me?"
Zhao Jinchuan sneered and pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He didn't want to go to the army to suffer. He resented his elder brother in his heart. With so many comrades, he didn't believe that there was no one who could help.
"That's a problem. We don't want short-sighted troops."
Zhao Jinchen frowned, thinking about the comrades he knew. It was indeed a waste of the knowledge his younger brother had learned by farming in the countryside, but he was as upright as his father and was unwilling to use connections or go through the back door.
"Boss, talk to the village head and see if you can arrange for the second son to go to the city, even if it's just a temporary job."
Zhou Guifang usually has no say at home, but since it concerns her second son and the eldest son is back, she naturally wants to give the second son a good future.
"Do you have the right to interrupt a man when he's talking?"
Zhao Yaozu glared at Zhou Guifang. He did not lose his intimidating demeanor as a village chief even at home.
In the Zhao family, women have no right to speak. Zhou Guifang lowered her head obediently and dared not say anything more.
Zhao Jinchen didn't like his father's behavior. He had been in the army for eight years and was taught the idea of gender equality. Sometimes he felt that his father was going a little too far, like now.
"Dad, when a family discusses something, what's the difference between a man and a woman? We listen to whoever is right."
"This is outrageous! With your personality, Jin Chen, won't you be bullied by your wife in the future?"
Zhao Yaozu bit off the chicken head and chewed it with a crunching sound. When he heard what his eldest brother said, his eyes widened and he took the opportunity to teach his son a lesson.
"Anyway, I won't be like you and won't listen to my mother's opinions. As long as what my wife says is right, I will listen to her."
Zhao Jinchen looked at his father. He had been the village chief for too many years and had brought all the village customs home. His mother was feeling suffocated and not respected at home. He didn't like it.
"Ha, my son, teach me a lesson. Don't think that just because you lead soldiers and become a leader in the army, you can come home and pretend to be so arrogant and ask, when will you marry me a daughter-in-law? I want to see if your daughter-in-law will ride on your neck."
