Chapter 170 Graduation
Afterwards, the courtyard returned to peace, the only difference was that there was a little girl busying around in Sha Zhu's house.
After Wu Juan came back from her parents' home, she brought Qin Yuru to the steel rolling mill and found her leader to give her job to Qin Yuru. With He Zhan, the deputy chief of the security department, the process went smoothly.
On the other hand, the Xu family was not stingy either. They directly took out 600 yuan and gave it to Wu Juan, saying that this was the money to buy her job.
Of course Wu Juan was unwilling to take the money, but she couldn't resist the Xu family's constant nagging and finally accepted it.
At the same time, He Lai finally got the transfer order from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill from the school.
This transfer order means that he will soon work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and start a new chapter in his life.
That day, He Lai pushed his bicycle back to the courtyard.
"Brother Lai, you're back! Let me help you with your luggage." Liu Guangtian was sitting at the door of his room in the front yard and saw He Lai at a glance.
"Well, Guangtian, you have good eyesight. Why are you at home today?" He Lai joked. Although Liu Guangtian did not get into the technical secondary school, he was admitted to the high school, and maybe he can even go to college!
"I just came back, and I ran into Brother Lai as soon as I sat down." Liu Guangtian took down his luggage and started talking to He.
Passing by the central courtyard, He Lai saw Qin Jingru standing in a daze at the door of Sha Zhu's house, and hurried forward to tease him.
"Who are you?" He Lai parked his bicycle and walked up to talk.
Qin Jingru looked at the man with a bicycle asking her questions and suddenly became nervous.
"My name is Qin Jingru, and my cousin asked me to come and look after the child."
"What about the child you are looking after? He won't be lost, will he?" He Lai asked with a smile.
"The child is not lost, the aunt in the backyard took him away. I just finished washing clothes and will go there later."
Qin Jingru answered truthfully.
"then you…"
"Uncle Come here!" Before He Lai could finish his words, Xiao Yangzi rushed out and hugged He Lai's thighs.
"Hey, Xiao Yangzi, you are a reptile, so you just cling to your uncle's thighs."
He Lai also discovered that this child really liked to hug his thighs.
"Help uncle push the bicycle back, Banggeng can help hold it a little, come here when you are done, uncle will reward you."
He Lai took out a box of snacks from his bag and shook it. Xiao Yangzi and Bang Geng immediately went to push the bicycles.
"Little girl, do you want to eat? Call me brother and I will give you some."
He Lai turned to look at this legendary naive girl.
"Brother." Qin Jingru still called in a mosquito-like voice.
Soon Yushui Chuner also came, and seeing He Lai still teasing Jingru, she immediately came over to help.
"Brother Lai, don't bully Jingru." The rain blocked Qin Jingru's way.
"Hey, how did I bully her? Okay, I'll give you some snacks. I'm going back now. I'll leave in broad daylight."
He Lai quickly put down the snacks and went back to the backyard.
"Mom, I'm back." He Lai took Guangtian's luggage and went into the house.
Wu Juan was holding a baby, and there were three other people around her, busying themselves.
"Xiao Laizi, take these three away quickly. They are too noisy. Mom can't stand it. They start chattering as soon as they come in."
Wu Juan quickly called He Lai to take Xier, Xiao Yangzi and Banggeng away.
"Uh." He Lai was confused. He just entered the house and there wasn't even any greeting?
When Xier and others saw He Lai, they immediately changed their target.
"Take your food and go out and play by yourself." He Lai gave Xiao Yangzi a box of snacks and said.
The three little ones immediately ran away happily.
"When did mom come back? Are grandpa and grandma okay?" He Lai sat next to Wu Juan.
"It's been a few days now. Grandpa is doing well. All the food has been handed over to the village. We are eating from a big pot and it's delicious."
Wu Juan thought about the situation in the village and her mood suddenly became high.
He Lai secretly thought that this was not good, as he had forgotten that the three-year natural disaster started in 58 and now it was the era of the Great Leap Forward.
It seems that grain production began to decline sharply in 58, and I guess newspapers will soon start reporting on high grain yields.
What a sad era. Every village wants to pay more grain, which results in them having nothing to eat.
No, I have to go back to my grandfather's house. The situation cannot change. It's always good to hide some food, otherwise people will starve to death.
"Xiao Lai, what are you thinking about? You can't even hear me calling you." Wu Juan looked at He Lai, and since he didn't respond when she called him, she shook him again.
"Oh, nothing, Mom. I'm graduating now, and I still have a few days to report to the factory. I want to go to Grandpa's house to play for a few days."
He Lai came back to his senses and replied to Wu Juan, "You can't tell her the truth first, otherwise it will cause an uproar."
"Okay, you're old enough, go if you want to. By the way, what position will you take at the steel mill? How much will you get paid? I forgot to ask."
Wu Juan suddenly realized that her son was going to the steel mill and asked what kind of job he would be doing.
"Well, a technician, what else? A level 16 technician is 37 yuan, which is the internship salary for a technical secondary school student."
He Lai also told the truth.
"Oh, it's so high. My son is awesome. How about your mother keep your salary for you? Don't worry, I will give you everything when the time comes."
Wu Juan pulled He over and started asking for his salary.
"Well, we'll talk about it later. Mom, Dad has more than a hundred. Can you count them?"
He Lai shifted his target.
"Okay, you can keep it for yourself. Your father has plenty of money anyway, so it's okay for him to spend it. Mom will just take good care of you now."
Wu Juan thought so too. She thought that it was impossible to spend more than a hundred yuan a month, so she let He Lai keep it.
"Then I'll go out for a walk first."
"go Go."
……
"Aunt Xu, this wedding character is so nicely pasted!" When He Lai saw the wedding characters pasted on the wall at Xu's house, he knew that Xu Damao and Qin Yuru were already together.
"Xiao Laizi, you came back late and missed your brother Damao's wedding." Aunt Xu joked.
"It's okay. I'll go ask Brother Damao for some wedding candy later. I don't drink anyway."
He Lai sat next to Xu Zhaodi and was a little surprised to see that Xu Zhaodi was sitting next to Aunt Xu. She looked unusually well-behaved.
"Sister Zhaodi, why don't you go play with them?" He Lai asked. Xu Zhaodi just smiled and said nothing.
"She's afraid that I will take her away, so she's pretending. Haha." Aunt Xu also smiled and told the reason directly.
"Take away, what do you mean? Aunt Xu, are you going to move away?"
He Lai suddenly realized that it seemed that the old couple of the Xu family moved out around this time.
"Yes, Damao is getting married now, so we have decided to give this house to Damao and his wife, and Lao Xu and I will move back to the old house, which has more rooms and can accommodate us.
There just so happens that a movie theater is going to open there, so Lao Xu will work in the movie theater and won’t have to go to the countryside anymore, which is great.”
Aunt Xu was also very happy. Her husband had fallen ill from going to the countryside every day. Now he could stay at home every day and she could feel at ease.
"Then Aunt Xu, you have to come back often, otherwise I will miss you."
"Okay, you naughty monkey, I'll come back when Yuru is pregnant."
Aunt Xu smiled happily and was truly grateful to this little benefactor from the Xu family.
He Lai looked at this person who had been a maid for most of her life, and he didn't know what to feel.
The life of a maid in the Republic of China should be pretty good, but He Lai always feels uncomfortable. After all, another name for a maid is a slave!
