All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 664: 665. Out of the Haze and Being Reasonable
Yue Wenxuan has always respected this elder sister who is four years older than him. Now that such a big thing has happened in her family, Yue Wenxuan will of course do his best to help if he is able.

With his current status and position, it was not a difficult task for him to find a job for his niece. The difficulty lay in the inappropriate timing.

The country is in a particularly difficult period. In order to solve the difficulties, various relevant measures have been introduced. The policy of streamlining urban employees is one of the most important ones.

The last two months have been a time of particularly strict enforcement, and methods that worked in the past may not work now.

After all, he has been away from his post for nearly a year and lacks understanding of some details in policy implementation, so he cannot make too many promises for the time being.

He had already found jobs for his two nephews, but this time finding a job for his niece was fundamentally different.

He found jobs for his two nephews, just hoping that they could have a brighter future. Their lives had just begun and they had many choices, so even if they failed, it would not have a big impact on their lives.

But his niece was standing on a precipice. If he could find her a job in the city, it would be like saving her.

If this fails, my niece may still have other ways to make a living, but the process will inevitably be extremely bumpy and difficult.

For the original person, it was indeed very difficult to find a formal job for his niece in the city, but for Yue Wenxuan now, it was nothing more than putting in a little more effort or spending a little more money.

Yue Wenfeng brought her daughter to the city, originally just wanting to get some comfort from her eldest brother, but now she has gained so much, she is of course very excited.

"Xiang Gui always feels that she has a bad fate, but I think she has a good fate!
Everyone has some ups and downs in life, it’s just a matter of whether they come early or late.

She became a widow right after she got married. It was really hard for her to endure the gossip and criticism from people around her at such a young age.

But if you really find a job in the city, or even become a city dweller in the future, it is obvious that the time to enjoy life is still to come.

People have a long life, and she is not even twenty years old. The little experience she has now is just a small ripple in a hundred years of life, which will be over in the blink of an eye.

Xianggui has her uncle's care, and I think that alone makes her a blessed person. Those rumors from outsiders are all bullshit, and you don't need to listen to them or believe them."

Yue Wenfeng also took the opportunity to comfort her daughter.

With Yue Wenxuan's promise, Zeng Xianggui also had hope, and asked with some uncertainty:

"Uncle, can you really find me a job in the city? I don't want a formal job, and I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as I can change my environment and not be pointed at by people around me, I will be very satisfied."

Yue Wenxuan said: "When have you ever seen your uncle brag? Don't worry, it may be a little difficult to find you a formal job. I have to plan it carefully, but it will definitely be no problem to find you a temporary job.

You can live in your uncle's house for the time being, so that you can help me with the housework. Your uncle doesn't like to do this kind of work, and your aunt is busy with work and is always unable to take care of it.

If you can stay here, I will be very happy. I won't have to do anything in the future. I just need you."

Although she knew that her uncle might have said these words to comfort her, Zeng Xianggui was still very happy after hearing them. She was not afraid of hardship and fatigue, but she was afraid that she would live in her uncle's house doing nothing all day and become a burden to him.

After finishing the serious business and getting such a good result, Yue Wenfeng and her daughter both had smiles on their faces after having some anticipation in their hearts.

Yue Wenxuan looked at the time and saw that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, so he said, "Sister, you two have been out for almost a day, you must be very hungry now, I'll find you some snacks to fill your stomachs, and then we'll make dumplings early and put them in the pot as soon as Danling comes back."

"We're going to have dinner soon, and we're going to eat dumplings. Please don't give me any snacks. We won't eat them even if you give them to us. We want to keep our stomachs empty so we can eat a few more dumplings later." The eldest sister flatly refused.

Yue Wenxuan didn't listen at all. He opened the cupboard, took out a pack of tiaozi cakes, gave one to each of his elder sister and niece, and said:

"Eat up all this bag, don't be polite to me. You two are lucky. This morning someone brought a few bags of trough cakes to me and exchanged them for two fish.

A pack is almost two kilograms. I can’t finish all these snacks. It’s a good thing that you two are here, so I don’t have to worry about who to send them to.”

It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, and the mother and daughter were indeed too hungry. Yue Wenxuan spoke so sincerely that the two of them did not hesitate and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Yue Wenxuan was drinking tea with him and asked, "Can you eat two meals a day now? Can you only eat wild vegetables for one meal, or can you mix some grains in?"

Yue Wenfeng said vaguely: "How dare we eat two meals a day? We are lucky to have one meal a day. Our life is good. From time to time, we can have some food mixed with wild vegetables.

After all, we have received so many subsidies from you, all of which are good things, so we don’t have to worry about lack of nutrition. In the past six months or so, no one in the family has suffered from edema.

Other families don’t have such good conditions, so they have to live frugally. As long as they can make it to the beginning of spring and the family doesn’t starve to death, they will be content.”

"Now that the weather is cold, the fish can be frozen in the cellar without having to worry about it going bad. I've saved quite a bit. Bring some more with you when you leave, so they'll be just in time for the New Year."

Yue Wenxuan wanted to help his elder sister more, but he couldn't give too much at once, otherwise it would be hard to explain. He could only give his elder sister something every once in a while. It was just that the distance was too far, so it was really inconvenient to travel back and forth, otherwise he could give more overall.

After eating two pounds of taro cake, the mother and daughter felt more energetic and even spoke louder, which showed that they were indeed very hungry.

Yue Wenxuan went to the corridor to get some pickled cabbage, and then took out some flour and shrimp from the cupboard, and said:
"I went to Qingdao for recuperation last time and met a few friends there. They were very friendly and would mail me a package of shrimp every once in a while. This was just soaked last night and is perfect for use. Let's eat dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and shrimp today."

"Xianggui is in for a treat this time. She has never eaten dumplings stuffed with shrimp before. I only ate them twice when I was a child, when my family was better off, but I never ate them again after that."

At this point, childhood memories came flooding back to Yue Wenfeng's mind, and she was filled with infinite emotion. She said to Yue Wenxuan from the bottom of her heart: "Children nowadays have never experienced any hardship. When they encounter a little trouble, they feel like the sky has fallen, and they even think about committing suicide.

Their generation is used to a good life. If they had experienced the hardships that our generation has to endure, they wouldn’t think this way.”

"That's true. Think about those chaotic years. It was hard to survive because we were worried about our future. How could we have the time to think about all those miscellaneous things?

In order to survive, even selling children is common. As a parent, who would have the heart to sell children unless it is absolutely necessary. Now is a peaceful time, even if there are some setbacks, thinking about that era, wouldn’t it be less pessimistic? "

Zeng Xianggui knew that her uncle was talking about her, so she met his gaze and said solemnly:

"Uncle, don't worry, I feel much better now. I'm sorry for causing you and my mother so much trouble because of my affairs."

"It's not a big deal. Your mother and I are your relatives and we should consider you.

As long as you can think it through, I will be relieved."

The three of them made dumplings very quickly. By the time Zeng Danling got home from get off work, the dumplings had already been made and were ready to be put into the pot.

After Zeng Danling entered the house, she saw two more guests and was about to ask, but Yue Wenfeng took the initiative to greet them:
"Danling, I'm off work. I'm your elder sister Yue Wenfeng. I was sick at your wedding last time. I'm sorry I couldn't be there. Please don't be offended."

Knowing that the person in front of her was her elder sister, Zeng Danling quickly took two steps forward, held her hand and said, "Elder sister, please don't say that. Wenxuan and I should have been the ones to visit you, and we had this plan a long time ago. I didn't expect that your elder sister would come first. I should be the one to say sorry."

"Then let's not be so formal and not say sorry. It's true that the road is too far. I made a trip today, and I took a bullock cart. The road was so difficult to walk on that my intestines were almost thrown out.

You are busy with work, and Wenxuan has just recovered. I can't bear to let you suffer this. Listen to me and don't go to my eldest sister's house. Anyway, we have met today."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Zeng Xianggui also greeted her aunt. Since they were relatives, they quickly became familiar with each other.

Seeing that the dumplings were already wrapped, Zeng Danling said happily: "It would be great if Big Sister lived closer, so she could come more often and I could eat more dumplings."

"If you're not afraid that my elder sister will eat up all the white flour in your house, I can come here often even if I'm far away."

"Then I have to thank you, big sister. Other people's white flour is not enough to eat, there is only a limited amount in total, but we have as much white flour as we want to eat. It's Wenxuan who is so powerful, and we can all benefit from it."

Zeng Danling is also a thoughtful person. In order not to make her elder sister feel constrained, she said a little exaggeratedly:
"In the first few days after I came in, I always complained about Wenxuan's extravagant spending. He spent all day on rice and flour. How could he live like this? He had food to eat in the first half of the month, but he had to starve in the second half!

In the end, it was all in vain that I worried. I ate white flour in the first half of the month, and I still have white flour to eat next month. Wenxuan is so capable that I don't have to worry about anything in his life.

You and Xianggui must stay for a few more days when you come here this time. There is plenty of food at home, so we don’t have to worry about food. Since Wenxuan is capable, we can just enjoy it with him.”

Yue Wenfeng had long heard that her new sister-in-law was a virtuous woman, and when she finally saw her with her own eyes, she was even more convinced of this. People of her age can tell whether a person is sincere or not at first sight.

Originally, she only planned to stay for one night and return with her daughter tomorrow, but now it seems that she can reconsider. If her eldest brother's family is really not short of food, it is not a bad idea for her to stay for a few more days.

After all, life at home was too difficult, and Wenxuan was her own brother. If he could still make it, she would accept it if he stayed for a few more days with a thick face.

Although Yue Wenxuan's life is good, he doesn't make dumplings often in order to reduce the impact.

Dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut and shrimp are even less common. Not to mention Yue Wenfeng and her daughter, even Zeng Danling ate them with gusto and didn't put down her chopsticks until she was full.

Zeng Danling thought it was delicious. Yue Wenfeng and her daughter, who were often hungry, ate it even more voraciously. They all thought it was the ultimate delicacy and they would be satisfied if they could eat it once in their lifetime.

After resting at night, Zeng Danling asked her eldest sister and her daughter about the purpose of their visit, and Yue Wenxuan introduced it in detail.

"Danling, Xianggui may have to live in our house for a long time. Even if she finds a job, she may not be able to get her own dormitory. Do you mind?
If you feel uncomfortable, I will find another way, and the problem can be solved. You don't have to make special efforts to accommodate me."

Zeng Danling is the hostess of the house. If she feels that it is too inconvenient for her niece to live at home for a long time, Yue Wenxuan will not force her to accept it.

Although the accommodation problem is not easy to solve, there are solutions. For example, Zeng Danling's house is still vacant and has not been returned.

Zeng Danling said unhappily: "Why do you miss me so much? When did you find that I can't tolerate others?

Our house is big and it’s empty anyway. It will be more lively with more people. I would be happier if Xianggui could live in our house forever.

I'm not trying to compromise. You know my personality. I like my home to be lively and bustling, so that there is a family atmosphere."

Yue Wenxuan could feel that this was indeed what Zeng Danling really thought, and it was indeed her character and expectation.

Perhaps because she was too lonely since childhood, Zeng Danling has always hoped to have a family of her own, the more lively the better.

If Zeng Danling had not had such a deep expectation in her heart, she would probably be particularly resistant to another blind date after having such a bumpy blind date experience. It would not be so easy for Yue Wenxuan to marry her.

Knowing that his wife didn't mind having another person at home, Yue Wenxuan had nothing to worry about. He would let his elder sister and her daughter stay as long as they wanted, and he hoped that his elder sister could stay until the end of the year so that she could have some health care.

Of course, the most urgent task is to find a job for my niece as soon as possible, even if it is just a temporary job, it can also make her feel at ease. This will help her get out of the haze as soon as possible, and when she regains confidence in life, Yue Wenxuan will not have to worry.
