Zhang Erjie's family sat together to eat. On the table was a dish of pickles and a plate of cowpeas picked from their own vegetable garden. The staple food was porridge with sweet potatoes. Now was the slack season for farming, so the family had to eat frugally. Otherwise, there would be no money left at the end of the year, and there might even be famine.
"Dad, you said our family paid a thousand yuan, can we get that money back?"
Zhang Erjie looked worried. According to the price of 400 yuan per share, her family of three had 2.5 shares, so she took out 1,000 yuan. Although it was not much in those days, it almost bankrupted her family.
Zhang Erjie's husband's legs and feet are not very good. He went to work in the city before and fell down. He didn't want to spend money on treatment, but he was left with a hidden disease. He felt pain when it was cloudy or rainy, so he could only farm at home. After listening to Zhang Erjie's words, he said;
"Don't worry, Xiao Xu's family is a big boss, they don't need your money! Besides, even if Xiao Xu can't pay, we can ask him to teach us the secret recipe of making cakes. With a skill, we will never have to worry about food and drink in the future!"
Zhang Erjie thought about it and felt less worried. However, she still had something else on her mind: "Dad, do you think our family has a chance with this employee thing?"
"Our family? Oh, forget about my legs. As for you, don't think too much. There's no way this good thing will happen to us. It must belong to someone with connections!"
"But Xiao Xu is from the city and is not familiar with our village!"
"Then we should also distinguish the relatives by distance! Besides, we don't even know Xiao Xu well, so we don't know the village chief's family well either? Don't think too much, let's eat!"
Zhang Erjie nodded. What her husband said made sense, but... she still felt very regretful.
"Mom, I want to eat barbecue!"
The child was picking at the sweet potatoes in the bowl. He hated adding sweet potatoes to porridge the most. Everything he ate tasted of sweet potatoes. When he thought of the barbecue he had eaten the night before, he couldn't help but drool.
"There will be barbecue for you every day!"
Zhang Erjie touched her son's head helplessly. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
"Second sister, is Second Sister Zhang at home?"
