Chapter 158: Mama’s Boys in the 6s Can’t Get Married (21)
The most tiring time in the cafeteria is noon, and most people go back home to eat in the evening.
Therefore, several sisters-in-law behaved very generously.
Mrs. Duan said directly to Shuangshuang, "It's okay, you can go back. If you don't have enough time, you can leave in the morning."
"That's not necessary. I'd better wait until lunch is over at the factory before leaving. Otherwise, it will be too hard for you guys."
Then, Shuangshuang took advantage of the free time and ran to the head of the logistics department to ask him for leave this afternoon.
This was the first time Shuangshuang had asked for leave since she started working, so the head of the logistics department approved it directly.
He just reminded her, "When you work in the cafeteria, you must greet other comrades."
"Don't worry, Minister, I've already talked to my sisters-in-law."
Then he ran to the warehouse and bought two pieces of defective cloth.
He took out two bags of pastries and two pounds of pork belly from the space, and took the two children back to Wangjia Village by bus.
When I got home, everyone had gone to work.
Shuangshuang didn't care, just brought the things into the house and went straight to the edge of the field.
Old Man Wang was watching everyone working on the ridge of a field when he saw his daughter suddenly appear with two children.
I was very surprised and thought something had happened.
He ran over quickly and asked anxiously.
"Shuangshuang, what happened to you? Why did you come back suddenly?"
"Dad, I'm fine. I missed you, so I came back to see you."
When Old Lady Wang saw her daughter coming back with her two grandsons, she dropped the work in her hands, came over, took her little grandson and walked back.
No one cares about her, and the work she assigns is naturally completed by her sons and grandchildren.
After returning home, Shuangshuang told the reason why she came back.
"Dad, Mom, I heard there's a job opening, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to explain it over the phone, so I took some time off to come back."
My mother was extremely surprised when she heard this. "Everything you said is true."
"Of course it's true! Otherwise I would have hurriedly asked for leave and come back, and I would have nothing to do!"
Old Man Wang took a puff of his cigarette before asking.
"Girl, which factory is hiring?"
"One is that the supply and marketing cooperative is recruiting sales clerks, but this requires a junior high school education, so I suggest that Huilan take the exam.
She's not young anymore, if she can find a job, it will be helpful for her to find a partner."
The old couple nodded. It wasn't that they didn't love their granddaughter. It was just that thousands of years of selfishness were at work.
I also thought that if my eldest grandson got a job, it would be easier for my other grandsons to find wives.
Shuangshuang continued, "Also, the steel foundry is recruiting temporary porters. I heard there are twenty vacancies.
For this, you just need to be able to read and understand the names of some materials. There is no specific requirement for a certain level of education.
Whether or not to let them go depends on your opinion."
My eyes lit up. "Go, you must go!
What happened to temporary workers?
The son of Wang Laonian from the village worked as a temporary worker in a sawmill some time ago.
He was so proud that when he saw us, his chins were all in the air."
Shuangshuang ignored his mother's shouting and just stared at his father.
The final voting rights in their family are in his father's hands.
Old Man Wang took another puff of his cigarette and nodded.
"Then let them all try. After all, it's better than digging for food in the fields."
"Okay! As for Huilan, tell her to come back with me today. I still want to tell her about the exam.
As for my nephews, it would be better for them to go back with me so that they can try the factory tomorrow.
There is no other technical requirement for being a porter, as long as you are strong.
It just so happens that they are all used to doing farm work, and they have practiced with Dad before."
"Okay, I'll get them a letter of introduction this afternoon, and you can take them away with you tonight after dinner."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, let's go at night, let's go at night.
Old man, go kill the chicken quickly. Our eldest grandson and granddaughter are back, and they deserve to eat big chicken legs."
Dad put away his pipe without hesitation and prepared to go to the backyard, but was stopped by Shuangshuang.
Now is not like before. As long as you have enough food, you can raise as many chickens as you want at home.
Now every household has a quota and is only allowed to keep two.
Fortunately, his father made a prompt decision to divide the family property, so they were able to raise six chicks, but they had to be kept for laying eggs.
"Dad, Mom, no need to go, no need to go. We are not strangers, and we don't need you to treat us like honored guests."
In the end, I didn't kill the unlucky chicken. After all, she really couldn't bear to do it as it laid an egg a day.
However, the chicken was not killed. She generously cooked the two pounds of meat that Shuangshuang brought back with potatoes.
Then Old Man Wang was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"Girl, can you take a few more with you?"
"Who?"
"Your two nephews from your second uncle's family, and your village chief's eldest uncle's grandson."
"Only three?"
"Well, the others aren't old enough yet."
"I don't mind, as long as you're not afraid that they'll take your nephews' places."
"If they really take it, it will be their fate."
In the evening, the whole family gathered together and said that they had divided the family property, but in fact it was just a matter of having different policies.
The family usually eats and works together.
Most of the villages follow this model, which allows them to raise more livestock.
It was not until after dinner that the old man slowly spoke to his grandchildren.
"Your aunt came back because she saw the job posting.
You all go back with her tonight and take the test tomorrow.
As for whether you can pass the exam, it depends on how hard you work.
The six nephews were extremely excited when they heard the good news.
The second nephew quickly asked, "Grandpa, are you saying we can all go?"
The old man glanced at Shuangshuang, and Shuangshuang nodded.
"Yes, let's all go! When the time comes, we'll choose whoever we want."
Only Huilan stayed in the kitchen with a lost look on her face, and slowly stopped washing the dishes.
Her mother sighed and said, "How about I do it? You go back to your room and get some rest first."
As a mother, she loves both her sons and daughters.
However, this has been the way it has been for generations. Whenever there is something good, the sons are always the first to be thought of.
After all, when they are old, it will be their son who will take care of them.
Huilan shook her head and quickly started washing the dishes.
She always remembered what her aunt had told her before, not to forget what she had learned.
So when she came back here, she used her spare time after work to read through her elementary and junior high school textbooks thoroughly.
Even when she was in high school, she bought textbooks from a junk shop and studied on her own.
Although it is a bit difficult, she believes that one day she will be able to learn these books.
But I didn't expect that although the opportunity came, I didn't get it.
Just when she was feeling sad, she suddenly heard her grandfather shouting.
"Huilan, please come out for a moment."
Huilan was concentrating on washing dishes and didn't hear anything, so her mother quickly pushed her.
"Your grandfather is calling you, hurry out."
