After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy
Chapter 327: The 3rd Place
As soon as she got home, she went into the space to check on Wangcai. She felt relieved only when its bowl was empty. Wangcai was playing with two small balls, which Xia Ran had bought and put in the space when she was strolling around during the day.
Then, at mealtime, she secretly brought in some food and didn't bother to take care of Wangcai at other times.
This is the disadvantage of living upstairs. If it were a yard, she could just let Wangcai out to raise him. But if she was asked to let Wangcai outside and raise him directly in the house, she couldn't accept it.
After all, she still needed to move the goods out of her home, and she didn't want the goods to be accidentally stained with dog hair.
Therefore, she could only play with Wangcai in the space when she came back at night. Fortunately, Wangcai looked good now. In this short period of time, she had taken good care of him and he had obviously gained weight.
Let’s do this for now, and release it when there is another suitable opportunity.
After spending time with Wangcai, she quickly packed up and went to bed. According to what Tan Xiangdong said, his comrades-in-arms should arrive one after another starting tomorrow.
Just after 6:30 in the morning, someone knocked on the door. Xia Ran quickly changed into clothes suitable for going out and opened the door. Three young men of different heights were standing outside, each carrying a large package.
Seeing Xia Ran shouting in a loud voice: "Hello, boss, the three of us were introduced by my comrade-in-arms Tan Xiangdong!"
Xia Ran was startled, and she made way for the door and said, "No need to call me boss, just call me big boss. Also, keep your voice down, and let's all come in first."
"Yes!" Quite uniformly.
"Sit down and introduce yourselves first. Otherwise I can't tell who is who among you." Xia Ran said, pointing at the sofa.
Several people looked at each other and stood still. One of them said, "Boss, we came here exhausted and haven't had time to wash up yet. It's easy to dirty the sofa, so we won't sit on it."
"It's okay. This is an order. Please sit down and introduce yourselves one by one."
The three of them put their backpacks on the ground as ordered, lined up in a row, and then sat down on the sofa, sitting upright, looking as if they were obeying orders.
The smallest and thinnest boy introduced himself a little nervously: "My name is Wang Zhiqiang, I'm 23 years old, I served in the military for 6 years and was discharged last year. My family is from Rongcheng, Sichuan Province. I have parents, a grandmother, and two older brothers. I'm the youngest in the family. My brothers are all married and have children."
Xia Ran smiled and nodded, indicating that he had taken note of it: "Yeah, not bad, very good." The young man was estimated to be just over 170cm tall, with single eyelids, and looked skinny, but his eyes were quite smart.
When Wang Zhiqiang finished introducing himself, Liu Cheng continued, "My name is Liu Cheng. I am 23 years old this year. I served in the army for 5 years and was discharged last year. I am from Sichuan Province and am from the same hometown as Wang Zhiqiang. I have two sisters and my parents. All of them are married."
They are all families with many children, but it’s normal when you think about it. "Are you two not married?" Xia Ran asked curiously.
Liu Cheng replied honestly: "Boss, I'm not married yet. There are people in my family who want to marry me, but I want to wait until I get a job before getting married."
Liu Cheng's home was in the mountains. His mother was in poor health and had been taking medicine all year round. The only one who could work at home was his old man. They did not starve because of the dowries from his two sisters, but they also did not save any money.
During his years in the army, he was just a regular soldier with no education, so he didn't get much monthly allowance. He had used up some of the little retirement pay he received for work, but it was all gone, and was of no use at all.
His family wanted them to get married and have children first, but he was unwilling to accept his fate and compromise, so he deliberately delayed it until now.
Wang Zhiqiang also said: "Boss, me too, I haven't married yet." But what he didn't say is that his family is so poor that even mice don't come to visit, so how can he marry a wife or raise children? He can't afford to marry.
His family had already incurred a lot of debts due to the marriages of his two elder brothers. After a year of hard work, the family did not earn much money. But since his two elder brothers got married, nephews and nieces were born one after another, resulting in more and more debts to be paid, and the family became poorer and poorer.
If it weren't for the family planning policy, there would probably be more children.
When he just retired from the army, matchmakers came to his house every day, but he had no luck finding a job and the situation at home was so bad that gradually no one cared about him anymore.
Being poor is the original sin. Of course, he wanted to save face, so he didn't say it so clearly.
He couldn't stand the pressure, and all his retirement pay was used to pay off some of his family's debts. If he hadn't had to keep some money for himself to marry, the little retirement pay he had left would probably have been taken away by his two brothers and their sisters-in-law.
Why is it so difficult to live?
"Well, since you're not married yet, just work hard and earn money. If you have money, you won't lack a wife." It seems that he lacks a wife, but in fact he lacks money.
Let’s not talk about Liu Cheng’s family for now, but Wang Zhiqiang’s family has three sons. Just the cost of finding a wife can be very high. Without some financial resources, life would not be easy.
Families with many sons have more people and more power, and they have great advantages in fighting, but at the same time, such families have a very fatal disadvantage, which is that they spend a lot of money, and if you don't have some financial resources, you can't afford it.
The bride price alone can make one fall back into poverty overnight, and it would take many years to recover.
And Wang Zhiqiang is not the son of his parents, so it is easy for him to be treated differently by his parents. Maybe Xia Ran has seen too many people and things, and can't help but think about the dark side.
"Report to the boss, my name is Li Shuangqiang, I am 24 years old, and I am from Shaanxi Province. My family consists of grandparents, parents, a brother and a sister. They are all married, and I am also married to a girl from a nearby village. And, boss, the remaining three are far away from here, and they are expected to arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Li Shuangqiang is the tallest, with a square face, about 174.175 or cm tall. He is also the strongest and looks like a typical northwestern man.
"Okay, I got it. My name is Xia Ran, and you don't have to say report anymore. As for salary and benefits, Tan Xiangdong has told you, right? The tentative amount is 150 yuan per month, and it will be paid on the last two days of the month. Accommodation is provided, but food is not. As for other benefits, we will talk about it when it is paid. As for insurance and pensions for everyone, we will have to wait a little longer.
Let's go, I'll take you guys to settle down first. I don't have any other requirements here, just one thing, during the period of employment, you must be loyal and not betray your employer. I don't like to discipline others, if I find any problems, I will fire them directly.
We are all adults. I think that no matter what choice we make, it must be after careful consideration and weighing of the pros and cons. Once a choice is made, there will be no regrets. Let me be frank: I don't have time to listen to the explanation and confession of a betrayer.
