After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

What do you mean? Lu An has no job?

"Lu An, are you kidding me? You are a college student. Everyone knows that college graduates become government officials and are highly sought after by all units. How could you not have a job?"

"When you were admitted to university, Lu An, the team sent you the admission letter with great fanfare. You set up more than a dozen tables in Dayuanchao. All of us relatives saw it. How could it be false?"

The relatives immediately raised questions one after another. After all, in their old concept, as long as you get into university, it means you are eating public food, so how could you not have a job?

Some people even thought that Lu An said this on purpose, especially the relatives from Third Aunt's side: "Are you afraid that your relatives will ask you for help? You are not as good as your Third Uncle in this regard. What's wrong with relatives helping each other? You are allowed to ask your Third Uncle for help, but other relatives stay away from him. How snobbish!"

After hearing this, the second uncle and the fourth aunt reacted and pointed the finger at him angrily: "Lu An, everyone is very happy for you to get into college. We haven't asked you to do anything yet, so who are you showing off to? Boss, tell me, are there any relatives like you? Do you still want this relative?"

Only Uncle San looked calm and composed, and even seemed happy to see this situation.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he spoke slowly: "Lu An, don't blame me, your uncle, for criticizing you. There is definitely something wrong with your current thinking. How could you lie to everyone and say you don't have a job?"

Uncle San still considered his identity as the "director", so Lu Weiqiang was not polite.

"Isn't it just a job? What's so great about it? My dad is the director of the district general office and the director of the water conservancy bureau!"

Lu Weiqiang finally got the chance. You know, ever since Lu An was admitted to university, he would always be compared with Lu An every time relatives gathered together.

The result every time is always that he is the one who has a bright future, while he himself is a loser and only relies on having a good father.

This made Lu Weiqiang dislike Lu An, the "other people's child". Even when Lu An's family came to celebrate his birthday, it was his uncle and aunt who greeted him. The little birthday boy was unwilling to even stand up and say a few words, and even put on a sour face.

Seeing that Lu An had become the target of public criticism, he immediately became spirited and shouted at Lu An: "You are acting so arrogant just after you got a job with the government. Do you really think you are something special? Let me tell you, my father's unit and the town have recruited countless college students like you. Who do you think you are?"

This made their mother Qian Xiuzhi very anxious, and she hurriedly explained that things were not as they said.

"Lu An really doesn't have a job. You don't know that the policy has changed. College students are no longer guaranteed jobs. We came here this time to ask Youfu for help. Help Lu An find a good job. Don't let his four years of college go to waste!"

As Qian Xiuzhi said this, the whole yard fell silent, with everyone's face filled with surprise and disbelief.

Even Lu Youfu didn't say anything for a long time, as if he was trying to determine the truth of what he said.

After a while, a relative from Third Aunt's side seemed to remember something: "Hearing you say that, I seem to have read news in the newspaper, saying that starting from last year or this year, universities really don't guarantee job placements anymore..."

Qian Xiuzhi seemed to have found a way: "I didn't lie to you, did I? I just don't guarantee any jobs. How can the country change its policies like this? It doesn't guarantee any jobs anymore, and college students have to find jobs themselves. Isn't this embarrassing? College students only study in school, how can they find jobs?"

Lu An sighed softly, he could only say that his parents really didn't understand the ways of the world. How could they say such things to each other's faces, especially in front of someone like his third uncle Lu Youfu.

People originally were concerned about your identity as a college student, but once the lid was lifted, they no longer had any concerns.

But Lu An still said nothing. After all, the purpose of his visit was to let his parents know the kind of people his uncle and his family are.

However, Lu Youfu was a man working in the unit after all, so he did not blindly accept this statement. Instead, he went back to his room and made a phone call to confirm the authenticity of the news first.

Everyone watched Lu Youfu leave the table nervously, only Lu An calmly grabbed a handful of melon seeds, waiting for the next real show.

Soon Lu Youfu returned to the yard, and all the relatives stretched their necks as if waiting for the announcement of the results.

Lu Youfu first looked around the yard, and finally set his eyes on Lu An.

He strode over and said, "Lu An, do you know where this is? How can you sit here? Do you know any rules? You went to college for four years. Get up!"

Lu An laughed in his heart: Here he comes!

But Lu An pretended to be innocent on the surface: "Huh? Didn't you just ask me to sit here and ask which unit I will be assigned to after graduation? Did you want to help me run some connections?"

Mother Qian Xiuzhi also chimed in, "Yes, Youfu, it was you who asked Lu An to come over just now."

Lu Youfu glared at him, "You dare to talk back? Look at what you look like now. Do you still look like a college student? No wonder the country canceled the job allocation for college students. It seems that they know that people like you can't join the ranks of state cadres!"

There was an uproar at the scene. If everyone was just guessing just now, then Lu Youfu's words now completely confirmed the news.

Lu Youfu turned to Qian Xiuzhi and said, "A boy like Lu An who is so disrespectful lacks the most basic education. You can't spoil him too much. Sometimes you have to teach him a lesson, otherwise he won't remember it."

"Just take the present moment. He was clearly the one who did something wrong, but he talked back to me when I said a few words. Do you know any rules? It's a good thing he doesn't have a job. Even if he did, he would definitely be fired!"

Lu Youfu pointed his finger fiercely, as if Lu An had made some unforgivable mistake.

Lu An still stood up calmly: "Uncle San, what you said is not right, right? I just repeated what you asked me to come over just now, how come it is considered talking back?"

"Lu An! I think you've really grown cocky. How do you talk to your Third Uncle like that? One retort is not enough, you're not going to stop there, are you?" Third Aunt Jia Nanfeng also jumped out and shouted, realizing what was going on.

Lu Weiqiang was so excited that his eyes were shining. He felt that he had found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Lu An and laughed, "I never thought that Lu An would have such a day!"

"You were so proud to be admitted to university. The team delivered your admission letter with drums and gongs, and there were more than a dozen tables set up for a feast in the village. I thought you were so great, but in the end you can't even find a job. Now you can only come to my dad with a shameless face to beg him. It's really hilarious!"

"And it seems like our college students don't even know how to ask for help, and they actually dare to talk back to my dad? You're still thinking of asking my dad to introduce you to a job?"

Lu Weiqiang became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally hooked his finger at Lu An in contempt: "Come on, since you're here to ask for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help. First smile for me, and then punish yourself with three glasses of wine. Don't tell me that you, a college student, can't even drink!"

Facing Lu Weiqiang's ridicule and provocation, Lu An calmly cracked melon seeds. Not only was he not angry at all, he even felt like laughing.

Bah Bah!

Learning from Mr. Yangtuo's spitting skills, Lu An nodded seriously and said, "Indeed, compared to a few years ago, college students are not so popular now, and even job assignments have been cancelled. But at least I am still learning knowledge in the highest institution of learning, and the people I meet and know are all high-level intellectuals. It's better than being a second-rate person hanging out in a black dance hall or an ice rink every day, right?"

"Who the hell are you calling a second-rate person?" Lu Weiqiang yelled angrily. His face was grim and he no longer had the complacency he had just had. It was obvious that he had been hit on a sore spot.

Third Aunt Jia Nanfeng also came up to help: "Look, this is a country bumpkin. Even if he was lucky enough to go to college, he still has no manners or education. He is a wild knight who was born by his mother but not raised by his father...Ah! What are you doing?"

Lu An threw a handful of melon seeds at him: "Watch your mouth, you bastard!"

Lu An's tall body pressed forward, and Jia Nanfeng stepped back in fear. Even Lu Weiqiang was frightened by Lu An and stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

Only after Jia Nanfeng retreated behind her second uncle did she regain her confidence.

"Did I say anything wrong? Look at what you are like now. If it weren't for my old Lu, how could you go to the county high school with your family background? If you can't go to the county high school, you can only dream of going to college!"

"Now that you've graduated from college, you come back and bully our family. What the hell are you doing? You're such an ungrateful bastard!"

Lu An shook his head: "Aunt San, it's okay to lie to others, but don't lie to yourself. Do you really think Uncle San has that ability?"

"Uncle San didn't have the ability to study in the county middle school. I was able to go to the county high school because of my good academic performance. It was the teacher of the county high school who took the initiative to find me. It has nothing to do with you!"

"Don't be unconvinced. I remember that Fourth Aunt's son is also old enough to enter junior high school. Third Uncle has the ability to introduce him to the county center to study. Why is it not possible now? Because you didn't have this relationship in the first place!"

"I really hope that Fourth Aunt didn't give as many gifts as our family did."

Fourth Aunt looked over nervously. Jia Nanfeng was a little panicked, but she was still aggressive and domineering.

"How dare you talk about that pile of stuff of yours? What the hell is that? Chickens and ducks, they're stinky, and you still have the nerve to bring them into our house!"

"Do you know where this is? This is the town party committee's family quarters, the high-ranking cadres' family quarters. People here are all people of status. It's not like your rural pig sty. Every time I have to secretly deal with your chickens and ducks, I dare not let anyone know."

"Who would give these things nowadays? You can't even give a gift, and you still have the nerve to ask your uncle to help you. Don't you think you deserve it? Having a relative like you is our shame and sorrow!"

At this point, the Third Uncle's family finally took off all their disguises and revealed their true colors...
