Chapter 129: Prepare to Start a New Life
In the following week, Ruan Ruan sorted out the complete collection of medicinal herbs at home. She drew simple sketches of each herb, and clearly marked the efficacy, characteristics, and growing environment of each herb.
Huo Haocheng contacted people to prepare to purchase the necessary supplies, and Ruan Ruan gave him a list of everything that was needed.
Gu Jinghe went to see the director of the Public Security Bureau, and then arranged for several retired soldiers from Yuncheng to protect the safety of the dozens of women and clean the factory together. As for why he found them instead of nearby villagers or military wives in the compound, in Ruan Ruan's words, they are now trapped in the yard every day. After a long time, it is easy for them to have wild thoughts. If they get sick from holding it in, it will be troublesome. So it is better to let them get out and move more, do something, and earn some money, so that they can have support when they go out to other villages in the future.
While everyone in Yuncheng was busy, in Shenshi, Huo Haoli had already brought people to the factory to hand over the work.
"Thank you for giving me your job, otherwise I would have to go to the countryside." The person who bought his job was the nephew of a colleague at Xiao Xia Food Factory. He had just graduated from high school, and if he couldn't find a job, he would have to go to the countryside. So when they heard that Huo Haoli wanted to sell his job, their family hurried over with the money.
"You're welcome. I'm leaving soon too, so I'm grateful for buying my job." Although Huo Haoli is still a temporary worker in the factory, his skills have been recognized by people in the factory in the past two years. He has the ability, but bad luck. Now he has a better choice, why not leave?
"Then I wish you a bright future." The young man listened to Huo Haoli's words and didn't ask any more questions. In this era, who would be willing to leave their hometown unless they were forced to do so? But these were not things he could ask about. Now that the work had been handed over, he could come to work next Monday. He felt relieved. After saying a few words to Huo Haoli, he went home.
After he left, Huo Haoli turned around and prepared to go home.
"Huo Haoli, did you really give up your job?" After hearing that Huo Haoli sold the factory, his master chased him out. When he saw Huo Haoli at the factory gate, he stopped him.
"Master Li, why did you come out?" Huo Haoli looked at his master who had taught him for two years and felt a little emotional. He had originally wanted to go see him later, but now that he was out, he decided to say goodbye properly.
"Answer me, did you really sell your job?" Master Li still didn't want to believe that Huo Hao was so impulsive.
"Yes, I have just completed the handover." Huo Haoli stood up straight and looked at Master Li and said word by word.
"Why are you so impulsive? Don't you know that it is better to live a miserable life than to die? You sold your job, what can you do next? It's hard to find a job now because everyone is employed separately!" Master Li said with a disappointed look on his face.
"Where are your parents? Do they know that you sold your job? Your father is still in the factory, so he probably doesn't know yet. Let's go find him now." Master Li said as he prepared to pull Huo Haoli back. He wanted to find Huo Songyang and ask him to ask Huo Haoli to get his job back.
"Master Li, that's not necessary. My parents know about it. This is a decision we made after discussing it as a family. Besides, I have found a job as a technician. In two days, I will report for the job with several other brothers in the family." Huo Haoli avoided the hand extended by Master Li and said to him lightly.
"Master Li, thank you very much for your care over the past two years. After I leave, please take care of yourself and stop working so hard that you don't eat. This is not good for your health. If you have anything to do, you can let other people do it. I have to go back and pack my luggage, so I'll leave first. Take care of yourself."
After saying that, Huo Haoli bowed to him thirty degrees and left.
Master Li watched the boy walk away with his head held high, and he was filled with emotion, but also relieved. He knew that if the boy left today and headed for a brighter future, he would have no reason to stop him. This is why when the two met many years later, Master Li was already a laid-off worker, and Huo Haoli had become the chief mechanical engineer.
"Hey, have you heard? Huo Haoli sold his job."
"Why is he so impulsive? Isn't it just a regular job quota? If he doesn't get it this time, won't there be a next time?"
"What? This has happened so many times. His skills are so good, but every time he gets his chance, those people take it away from him. I can't stand it either."
"Explain yourself clearly. Who are those people?" The person who answered was the one who used his connections to snatch Huo Haoli's regular position. He didn't expect that Huo Haoli would leave like this.
"Of course it's those who have no ability and only use the back door!" The colleague who said this had been robbed of his regular position twice by people with connections before, but he didn't have the confidence like Huo Haoli, who could just leave at any time. He could only endure it here in silence. Fortunately, God will not let down those who work hard, and he finally made it and became a regular employee in the third year. So he hated those people who got in through connections but had no ability.
"What's wrong with me using the backdoor? It's because Huo Haoli doesn't have any relatives who are leaders. He deserves it. It's good that he's gone now. I feel sick just by seeing him."
"Who says it's not true? I hope your relative as a leader can protect you for life!"
When Master Li returned to the office, he heard people inside discussing Huo Haoli's departure.
"What are you arguing about? Why don't you get back to work?" After Master Li walked into the office, the two people who were arguing shut up.
"Master Li, is Huo Haoli really gone?" They didn't really care whether Huo Haoli was really gone, but Huo Haoli was the best technician besides Master Li. If Huo Haoli was really gone, their lives would be difficult in the future.
"He's gone." Master Li also knew how busy their work would be after Huo Haoli left.
Master Li looked at the people present, scanning them again and again, but could not find anyone who could take over Huo Haoli's job.
"Oh." Master Li sighed, picked up the toolbox on his desk, and left.
After Master Li left, the office was so quiet that even the sound of breathing was faint.
After finishing his work, Huo Haoli rode his bike back to the village.
"You're back. How's it going? Have you finished your work?" Seeing Huo Haoli coming back at this time, Mr. Huo thought that he should have almost finished his work.
"I sold it to the nephew of a colleague of my mother's at the food factory for 300 yuan," Huo Haoli said as he handed over the money.
He got this job in the first place thanks to his grandfather's help. Now that he has made some money from selling the job, he feels that he should give it to his grandfather, even though his mother told him to use the money for self-defense.
"Why give it to me? Keep it for yourself. When you go out, carry some money with you in case of emergency." Grandpa Huo did not take his money. His idea was the same as Xiao Xia's. The child had grown up, and when he went out, how could he not carry some money? It would be fine if they didn't have any money at home, but since they did, then he could bring more money for the child.
Seeing that his grandfather said so, Huo Haoli did not refuse. He took the money back and put it into the inside pocket of his clothes.
"Haoshen and Haoshi have gone up the mountain," the old man said to him unhappily when he saw him standing in front of him. The meaning was obvious: don't hang around in front of me.
"Oh, then I'll go find them." Then, Huo Haoli went to the backyard, carried a backpack, and went out with a sickle. He was not very good at talking since he was a child, especially when he was facing an old man. After finishing the business, he didn't know how to chat. So when he heard his grandfather say this, he felt like he had been pardoned, and quickly carried the backpack and went up the mountain to find the two brothers.
When the three brothers came back with firewood in the afternoon, the old man asked them to go find the Zheng brothers tomorrow, buy the tickets, and then call Huo Haocheng to tell him the time they would get on the bus, so that they would not be unable to find the place when they arrived in Yuncheng.
So after Zheng Xuyang bought four sleeper tickets through his connections, he called Huo Haocheng, who said he would come to pick them up when the time came.
