They had stood outside the door for a while and heard everything said in the room. He Pan sat down and said to his parents: "Xiaojie has severed ties with you. Don't come here to make trouble. Let's make trouble." It’s you and He Xiao who are embarrassed. You helped him get the job at the grain station. He is a public official after all, so you should save some face for him.”

"He Xiao violated the regulations at work. He took his brother-in-law to the warehouse during break time. His brother-in-law smoked and threw cigarette butts everywhere, which almost caused a fire. He was suspended from the grain station and has been a rice bug at home for a month or two."

This incident had already spread in the family area, but the Li family's parents did not call He Jie to tell him. They were studying to prepare for the college entrance examination at the time, so they did not tell him about this terrible thing for fear of affecting his exam. It was purely pure that they did not say anything about it later. It was forgotten.

Neither He Pan nor He Jie knew about this. Seeing that their parents' expressions changed obviously, He Jie sneered: "It seems that he is a loser, but I still give him too much face."

"Can you stop making sarcastic remarks?"

He's mother was so angry that she was about to burst out when she saw that he didn't help his eldest brother with advice at this time and was still belittling him.

"Just leave if you don't want to hear it. I didn't keep you." He Jie's attitude towards them was very harsh.

Seeing that He's mother was about to jump up again, the man He Pan said: "This is not my home. If you have anything to say, please say it. Don't make any noise here."

"Come here to see He Jie. What do you want?" He Pan answered.

Naturally, they came here to ask for something. Father He knew that He Jie and Li Jiaojiao were working in the provincial capital to make money. Now that they were going to university, they had another idea and explained their purpose: "The grain station informed He Xiao to go through the resignation procedures. Now, it's not a problem for him to stay at home like this. He has to find a job to make money. He Jie and the others are going to college. I'm here to ask if he can transfer his job to He Xiao and his wife. "

Seeing that they were planning to suck his blood again, He Jie became angry on the spot: "I have severed ties with you, why do you come to me again to ask for work? Where do you have the face?"

"We didn't ask you to give it. We asked you to transfer it and we paid for it." Father He's voice was louder than his.

"Why do you want me to transfer, and I have to transfer? What I owe you has been paid off long ago, and what should be settled has been settled. If you come back to try on me again, don't blame me for being rude."

He Jie has seen shameless people, and he has never seen anyone more shameless than his parents. If this was not his parents-in-law's house, he would just pick up a broom and drive them away.

"Why, now that your wings are hardened, do you still want to hit us?" Mother He jumped up again.

"You think I..."

He Jie really wanted to beat her, but Li Jiaojiao held him back, "He Jie, calm down."

After comforting him, Li Jiaojiao came forward and said, "We are going to college after the Chinese New Year, but we can't change our jobs."

"The place where we work is not a regular state-owned unit. To put it bluntly, we are doing odd jobs in affiliated units. You should also know that it was my classmate Ji Luo who asked us to help out at that time. The wages are not fixed, but are calculated day by day. It’s the same as setting up a stall before.”

"Now that Ji Luo and his wife have gone to Kyoto to study, they no longer work in the store. We two have been admitted to college and can no longer work in the store. The day before yesterday was the last day of work, and all wages have been settled with us. , the store leader has found two military wives to take our place."

"There is no way to transfer this kind of part-time workers. There is no point in spending money to transfer. The work is unstable. You may not be able to work for a few days. There are no various benefits of state-owned units."

"For a day's work, the salary is RMB 1.5, and you will not be able to earn enough money to go back to work in the year of the monkey."

"We brought my sister and husband here, and they also worked part-time. We only got one day's wages for a day's work, and no wages during our breaks."

"And the work is very hard. It's not like working in a state-owned factory from 9 to 5. My brother-in-law and the others sometimes work overtime until 90 o'clock in the evening. Moving and unloading goods is more tiring than farming in the countryside."

"There are seven or eighty kilograms of goods in each bag. When I am busy, I have to move several thousand kilograms of goods. My brother-in-law is usually very tired. He Xiao can't move it at all. He will work for three days at most before he collapses from exhaustion."

Li Jiaojiao said half-truthfully. The couple did not share their confessions with her sister and brother-in-law, but both her sister and her husband were smart people. She believed that they would not expose her lie on the spot.

Seeing his parents' expressions changing, He Pan began to hesitate and helped his younger siblings while the iron was hot: "The salary of one yuan and a half belongs to their men, and we lesbians only have one yuan and two. I work in the cafeteria, which is pretty stable, no matter it's windy or rainy. Even if it snows, you have to cook. You are paid every day, but there are few people and you don’t even have time to sit down for a while at the end of the day. Their men’s work depends on the weather. There is no work in rainy and snowy days, so they have to eat, drink and live on their own. It only costs about thirty yuan a month."

Seeing that the couple's combined monthly income was only sixty yuan, the He family's parents were heartbroken. This was not as high as the couple's salary in the county. The most important thing was manual labor, which He Xiao really couldn't do. He can't bear this hardship.

Seeing that the two of them were starting to back off, Mother Li offered help without any trace: "Going to work in the provincial capital may sound glamorous on the surface, but it's just that. If it weren't for the help of their classmates, He Jie and Jiaojiao wouldn't even have a chance to do odd jobs. No, this grain household registration was at home before. It took no more than three months to open a letter of introduction, and the round trip fare was expensive. In fact, after half a year of hard work, I didn’t have much money left. It’s not as much as I earned by setting up a stall in the county town.”

"Yeah, it's better to make more money by setting up a stall. We are not good at setting up a stall. We can't speak and only do brute labor. That's why we went to the warehouse to move goods and cook." He Pan agreed. .

The He family's parents came here for work, and now they basically gave up the idea. Spending hundreds of dollars to buy an unreliable temporary job without even basic benefits is not worth it.

As for the brat He Jie, looking at his attitude today, they knew that even if he was admitted to college and had a golden job in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to help the family. They got angry just thinking about it, and there was still some anger in their hearts. Unspeakable regret.

Only He Jie in the old He family was admitted to university, and it was still a key university. However, he severed ties with his family and did not even interact with relatives. During this time, many relatives criticized them for being partial and stupid, and some even scolded them. Penny wise and pound-foolish.

They blindly favored the eldest son and protected him, but he became more and more disappointing.

Their youngest son, who was not liked by them, quietly entered the grain station and now went to university. He also married a college student wife. He didn't need them to worry about him since he was a child, but they couldn't see his merits. .
