It is said that the manpower is short, two leather jackets, two ginsengs, and a car for Cao Fei, so Xu Le temporarily stayed at this house.This problem was solved, another problem came oncoming.

Cao Yuwen has no job.

When the policy was implemented, the educated youths in Xiaoxu Village made great efforts to return to the city.Some people gave gifts for this, and some divorced like Xu Le and his mother Liu Fang. run back.

He was only 16 years old when he left home. At that time, his father was still alive, his elder brother had not yet married a wife, and the family lived happily. His imagination of home also stayed at that moment.So when he came back, what he thought was, as long as he has a home, can he have a meal without me?

But the reality is that no matter how delicious the dumplings are for welcoming guests, it still costs money to eat on weekdays.After all, his mother, Mrs. Cao, doesn't earn money, and he's not around, so it's no problem for his mother to eat with her eldest son.But when he came back with Xu Le, there was no reason for his elder brother to support him.

In addition to the 15 yuan, there are many places to spend money.Do you need money for daily necessities, do you need money for clothes and shoes, Xu Le is seven years old, do you need money for school?This was all before Cao Yuwen's eyes.At this moment, he looked at the 200 yuan in his hand, and he no longer felt like a rich man.

It's just really hard to find a job.

These days, the private economy is still underdeveloped, and even setting up a small stall on the side of the road is regarded as speculative, but Cao Yuwen, a state-owned factory, cannot get in, and only street factories are considered reliable.

But the street factories in other places are all machinery factories and machine repair factories, but Cao Yuwen's family is a bit special. This is a dried flower processing factory, which uses the simplest processing method - manual production.No education is required here, and it is said that a few educated youths who sneaked back were recruited, which is Cao Yuwen's ideal place to work.

It's just that it's not easy to get in here.How many young people are unemployed at this time, and no one is rich, so I can’t wait to drive them out to let them be self-reliant. The dried flower factory is not a state-owned unit, and it has state funding, but it is self-financing, so naturally it has to be counted as labor costs.

Cao Yuwen hovered around the gate of his factory for two days, but was turned away.I could only go home and sigh.

At this time, Cao Yuwu went to work, Li Guixiang took Cao Fei to school, and the old lady went to chat with old friends downstairs, and the father and son were left in the whole family.Xu Le poked Cao Yuwen, who looked like a deflated ball, and asked him, "Godfather, they didn't want you?"

This is a bit popular.If it was placed on Cao Fei, something would be wrong, but to Xu Le, it was normal.His mother ran away, his father died, if he didn't grow up, he would be a fool.

Cao Yuwen didn't want to tell a child, why make a little one worry about him?But he really had no one to confide in.The elder brother has already married. He sleeps every day except for work, and is accompanied by his sister-in-law at other times. He can't remember to catch up with him.My mother didn't have time, and the food for the family of six fell on her. She was busy from morning to night, waiting for bed, and she also had to serve Cao Fei, the little ancestor.

The money can only come in and out every day. Not only can he not fulfill the promise he made to Xu Xinmin, so that Xu Le can live well, but he may not even be able to afford to go to school.This made him anxious and bored, feeling aggrieved and uncomfortable, denying himself all the time.

Now that Xu Le asked, he finally spit out and talked about his difficulties in finding a job.He thought that Xu Le would be like his father, Xu Xinmin, who felt depressed and uncomfortable with him after knowing that he had no hope of returning to the city.Unexpectedly, Xu Le only asked, "Is this factory reliable? How much is the monthly salary?"

Cao Yuwen was stunned for a moment, but looking at Xu Le's serious face, he couldn't help but tell the things he had inquired about in the past few days, "It's pretty reliable, I asked, a skilled worker can earn money in a month." 30 yuan. That job is not difficult, just combine those leaves and flowers, and learn it in half a day."

Xu Le nodded, he knew this kind of small factory.In fact, these are not high-end dried flowers in the future, but plastic flowers. At this time, people’s lives have just become richer, but foreigners do not have the habit of sending real flowers—that is also expensive. Many people like to buy a few bunches of plastic flowers at home. It is also fashionable, at least in a few years, the business of this kind of factory will not be too bad.

What's more, they also urgently need a stable job to provide stable money for living.

Xu Le thought it through, and said, "Then let's go there!"

These words were so decisive that Cao Yuwen, who was depressed, couldn't help but laugh.He thought that Xu Le was a little adult just now, but this time he missed the trap. He was just a child, and he didn't care what other people thought, and talked to himself.He stroked Xu Le's soft hair, and sighed, "They won't accept people anymore, let's find another place."

What Xu Le wanted was this sentence. After listening to it, he opened his eyes wide and said innocently, "Why don't you want a godfather? The godfather is amazing. Is it because the godfather didn't give him a hen?"

Cao Yuwen was stunned for a moment.

There is actually an allusion to this saying.When the land was divided in the village, someone gave the village party secretary two old hens, but when the land was measured, it was much larger than other people's homes.Xu Xinmin felt depressed, so he told Cao Yuwen while drinking, and Xu Le heard it, and asked why for a long time.

Now that Xu Le said again, he didn't feel that the child was against the sky, but seemed to have opened a door.He used to be in the village, and his life was too isolated, he forgot all these rules, and when he asked for help, he always had to give something.He remembered that the person in charge of the dried flower factory was an old lady in her 50s who could smoke and drink. Would you like to send some cigarettes and alcohol over there?

Thinking of this, Cao Yuwen's mood finally eased up a bit. Seeing this, Xu Le knew that he had figured it out, so he didn't speak any more, turned around and said, "I'm going down to play for a while, and then went out."

At dinner, Cao Yuwen came back with a smile on his face.

Xu Le had already washed his hands and sat on the ponytail.Cao Fei didn't want to do his homework, and was furious, yelling at his mother, "Let him go, let him go, I don't want him at home." This kid still hated him for spitting on the dumplings.Li Guixiang dragged him to the toilet to wash his hands, while comforting his own child loudly, "What are you shouting about, I'm deafened by you, walk around, of course you have to go, everyone who has to go has to go."

When Cao Yuwen entered the door, he heard this sentence. He looked at Xu Le, who was expressionless, and then at Li Guixiang, who looked embarrassed when he saw him enter the door. He finally straightened up, "Who should go? The name of this house is Cao. I can't live in the place my father left behind."

No one expected that Cao Yuwen, whose face was almost wrinkled like an old cabbage gang a few days ago, would have the confidence to say such a sentence now.But this is indeed the truth!At the beginning, Mrs. Cao used this reason to subdue Li Guixiang, leaving her speechless.Li Guixiang was choked for the same reason for the second time. Unavoidably a little dissatisfied, she let go of the struggling Cao Fei and said with a half-smile, "That's right, my surname is Cao, not Xu."

She didn't mean anything else, and it wasn't that she didn't like Xu Le. Isn't she poor?Cao Yuwen has no children, shouldn't all the money be spent on their family Cao Fei?But Xu Le is here, Cao Yuwen's eyes have never let Cao Fei go.

Xu Le turned his head at this time, and shed tears at Li Guixiang, "Mother, don't drive me away, please, I can do a lot of work, I eat very little, I will never dare to spit again ,aunt……"

He looks fair and cute, his eyes are red now, not to mention Cao Yuwen, who is so distressed to death, even Cao Fei, the leather monkey, can't help thinking in his heart, why this kid is more beautiful than Wang Miaomiao, but his mouth is still the same. Not forgiving, he secretly called out "crying bag."

These words made Xu Le tremble again.

No matter how unreasonable Li Guixiang was, if a child begged her like this, her face would not look good, and she didn't answer in embarrassment for a while.At this time, Mrs. Cao finally came out and said something to her, "The longer you grow, the more you go back, and you care about a child." Then she turned to Xu Le and said, "Lele, good boy, it's time to eat, grandma is steaming." If you have a water egg, you and your brother will have one each."

This was originally Cao Fei's benefit.The old lady gave it to him, but she still didn't say anything about Xu Le staying at home.Xu Le answered yes with some disappointment.Mrs. Cao thought he was scared and didn't care.

Over there, Li Guixiang was distressed that her son's rations were running low, so she couldn't help muttering, "Eggs cost [-] cents a catty."

Cao Yuwen knew that this was beating himself, but he paid every penny, even if the eggs cost [-] cents a catty, nine eggs per catty, the living expenses of his family Lele's five yuan a month did not exceed—— It's not that he is unreasonable, but that there is no meat at all in the family, only one egg a day is the treatment of children, and the living expenses they pay are more than enough.

However, he still didn't want Xu Le to listen to these words too much, so he started another topic, "I found a job at the dried flower factory in the street, and I will go to work tomorrow morning."

The family immediately stopped their chopsticks and looked at him in a daze.
