Chapter 76 Proof of Work
However, the old lady felt distressed and did not say anything to Li Wen.
Last year, the third grandson was very successful. Li Wen fought for the good life at home and in the village.
"Brother, this rice is so delicious, I want to eat it." The little girl ate a small bowl, but it was not enough.
Today's lunch of boiled pork slices was made with pork fat, and everyone who ate it had their mouths full of oil. The old lady didn't let the remaining oil soup go away, and was preparing to make noodles for dinner in the evening.
Nowadays, when visiting relatives, we usually don’t go back until three or four in the afternoon, so it’s already evening by the time my parents and others get home.
Tomorrow is the day that the eldest brother and the second brother set off for work. Tonight, the mother and the second aunt have to prepare bedding and luggage for them.
Because the two of them worked far away from home, Li Deyou and his aunt discussed it and let Li Wu and Li Wen temporarily stay at their aunt Li Xiulan's house.
After the two became official workers, they were assigned dormitories in the factory and then moved out.
Tonight was destined to be a joyful night. Li Wen watched his mother packing his eldest brother's luggage while talking happily to his father about his future.
Originally this year, my mother planned to ask relatives to introduce a partner to Li Wu when she was entertaining guests tomorrow.
But when Li Wu entered the factory, all this was put on hold. When he became a formal worker, Li Wu could find a city girl with better conditions, even a city girl who could eat commercial food.
The father and second uncle took the brothers to the fourth master Li Juncai's home.
Li Juncai is the party secretary of the village. If village members want to go out to do anything, they have to ask him to sign, seal and issue instructions.
"Is your uncle here? My Deyou." Li Deyou knocked on the door of Li Juncai's house.
"I'm coming!"
It was getting dark by now, so the door was naturally closed.
"Brother Deyou, Dezhong, why are you here?" The person who opened the door was Li Desheng, the eldest son of the fourth master Li Juncai's family.
"Ask your uncle to issue a certificate." Li Deyou said as he walked through the door with a smile.
"Uncle, aunt! I'm here to bother you so late at night." Li Deyou and Li Dezhong walked into the room and said with a smile.
"Hey, you kid, if you have anything to say as a family, come and talk on the kang." Fourth Uncle Li Juncai's wife said with a smile.
"Aunt, we won't sit down anymore. It's my turn to entertain guests this year. I have to prepare tomorrow's meals when I get back soon!" Li Deyou said with a smile.
Li Deyou's father and Li Juncai are brothers. Because Li Deyou's mother and Li Juncai are still alive, they still belong to one big family. Most of the relatives in the family are the same, so the two families take turns entertaining guests for dinner every year.
"Well, your family has gained quite a lot this year. You can have a good meal when your relatives come over tomorrow." The old lady said with a smile.
"Haha, that's a must. They are all relatives and friends. We haven't seen each other for a year, so we must treat them well when we come."
"Aunt, you and my uncle will come over early tomorrow." Li Deyou said with a smile.
"That's no problem. Your aunt and your brother will come over tomorrow." Li Juncai was smoking a dry cigarette and said with a smile.
The relationship between Li Deyou's family and his uncle's family is very good. When his old father died young, his second uncle Li Juncai did a lot to help his family.
"Uncle, I came here tonight to ask you to issue a certificate. Through our connections, we found two temporary jobs for Xiao Wu and A Quan in the county." Li Deyou smiled and handed a cigarette to Li Juncai and Li Desheng each.
"What, did you find jobs for Xiao Wu and Ah Quan in the county?" Li Desheng, who had just lit a cigarette at the side, dropped the cigarette from his hand.
Looking at the eyes of several people, Li Deyou smiled and nodded.
"That's incredible, Deyou. Will these two children have an iron job in the future?" Li Juncai's wife put down her work and said in shock.
"Okay, very good. Deyou and your brothers have done a good job. Your dad would be so happy if he knew about it." Li Juncai was also excited.
"hey-hey!"
Li Deyou and Li Dezhong didn't say much, they both scratched their heads and smiled sheepishly.
"Which unit do you work in? Can I write it for you?" Li Juncai took out his briefcase from the kang and said.
"Xiao Wu works at the bus station, and Ah Quan works at the agricultural machinery repair station of the agricultural machinery company." Li Deyou said.
"Wow! The units are pretty good, they are all technical units." Li Juncai exclaimed in surprise.
"It's okay. When the time comes, these two units will let both children learn a trade, and they will never be hungry again." Li Dezhong answered.
The old man quickly wrote the certificate, stamped it and handed it to the two children. He patted Li Wu and Li Quan on the shoulders.
"Good boy, you will grow up when you go to work. There are no family members outside to take care of you like in the village."
This job must be hard-earned. From now on, I will go to the unit and study hard, strive to become a regular worker, and strive for success for our Li family." Li Juncai said to the two of them with a smile.
"Well, I understand, Fourth Master."
Li Wu smiled and nodded.
"Deyou, did you get the work quota through your brother-in-law?" At this time, Li Desheng asked.
The brother-in-law did pull a lot of strings, but this indicator was set up by Awen. Li Deyou knew that it would be impossible if he didn't say anything. They were all uncles and cousins, and sooner or later the secret would be exposed if he didn't tell.
The second oldest child in the second sister's family has also gone to work. The eldest daughter-in-law in the second sister's family is not easy to get along with. There will be a lot of noise when relatives come to the house tomorrow.
"Awen did it?"
At this time, several people sitting on the edge of the Kang opened their eyes and asked.
"Yes, isn't Awen writing? There are so many people in the village these past few months, and all his mail is collected and delivered in the county."
"Awen has earned a lot of money and votes, and has gotten to know many children of leaders in the county. He also gives them regular tutoring and has a very good relationship with them.
"Later, Li Wen used his income to do some operations. He spent some favors and got four job quotas." Li Deyou explained the excuse of colluding with Li Wen at home.
"My dear, I know that this kid Awen is capable and knows many leaders. I didn't expect that he is so capable." Li Desheng said in shock.
"Four work indicators, one for each of the three children. Why didn't Awen come today? Is there another indicator?" Li Desheng asked.
"Awen doesn't have a job. He's not old enough. He only celebrated his 14th birthday in September last year. He can't work until he turns 15 this September."
"My eldest brother-in-law helped with the job quota, so I gave one to my eldest sister's second son. The other quota was given to my second sister's Wei Guo," Li Deyou said.
"Your eldest sister and second sister are now enjoying the glory of your family." Li Desheng said enviously.
"My eldest sister deserves it. After all, my eldest brother-in-law made all the work contacts. As for my second sister, you also know the situation in her family."
"This is also what Awen means. This guy said that if a family works well, a bowl of water will be balanced." Li Deyou explained with a smile.
"Okay, that's right. Awen is such a brave kid. He doesn't even have a job, so he should consider his family first." Li Juncai praised him.
"What units are the other two jobs in?" Li Desheng asked curiously.
"The eldest sister's family, Jianguo, goes to a food company, and the second sister's family, Weiguo, goes to a flour mill." Li Dezhong answered.
"Hey! These two are the real hot spots. Why didn't we arrange for Xiao Wu and Ah Quan to go?" The second aunt is also a person who has endured hardship, so she also grasped the food very tightly.
"Awen suggested it. This kid said that the country will have more and more vehicles in the future, whether it is agricultural machinery or cars."
"He also said that if you learn car-related skills, whether it's repairing or driving, you will have a bright future in the future." Li Deyou explained.
"That's right, Awen is more knowledgeable."
"In the years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been very few bicycles with two wheels since the beginning. In the past, when going to other places, we would walk or take a bullock cart, but now there are bus stations in the county towns." said the old man Li Juncai.
"Okay, uncle, aunt and Desheng, we'll go back first." After chatting for a while, Li Deyou and others said goodbye.
After Li Deyou and others left, Li Desheng quickly sat on the kang.
"Dad, why don't you tell Deyou and ask Awen to get a job quota for our family?" Li Desheng said with a chuckle.
"I want to eat shit, and I also want a job quota. I can't do this with my old face." Li Juncai blushed angrily and yelled loudly.
"Dad, why are you arguing? I just heard that brother Deyou came to the house." At this time, the door curtain was opened, and the second child, Li Dejun, asked.
"Your brother Deyou and his third son, Awen, got two jobs in the county for Xiaowu and Aquan. Your brother wants your father to ask Deyou too," the old lady said.
"Oh my god, two iron rice bowls now?" Li Dejun was also shocked and his mouth opened.
"With four iron rice bowls, Sister Xiulan and Second Sister Xiufang's families are also allocated a quota each." Li Desheng said with a blushing face.
"Hehe! This is really a good thing. If Awen is so capable, he can definitely get one or two places. Dad, why don't you ask Brother Deyou!" Li Dejun also said with a look on his face.
"Gungungun, what are you thinking about? Do you think I, the master, can say this?" Li Juncai said, dusting off his cigarette rod.
"Deyou said just now, that kid Awen has the ability to earn a lot of money and tickets. This is what he paid for. Do you really think you can get a job with just words? Do you have money?" Li Juncai
He asked with a smile without getting angry anymore.
"This, that..."
Don’t do this or that. Even if I don’t want this old face to open my mouth to Deyou, that kid Awen agrees.”
"A job costs at least two to three hundred yuan, and more than four to five hundred yuan. Do you think our family can afford it?" Li Juncai asked.
Seeing that the two of them were hesitant to speak, the old man waved his hand!
"Stop talking, just save money in the past few years. Jun Bao and his children are still young."
"After I have saved enough money in a few years, I will risk my old face to open my mouth to Deyou." The old man waved his hand and said.
"From now on, you must protect this child Awen in the village. He is so beautiful! As a family, we can only live a better life if we help each other."
"I know dad, for such an outstanding child like Awen, we will definitely take good care of him." Li Desheng smiled and the two nodded.
After saying that, the two of them smiled and walked out of the old man's room.
"Awen is so awesome. I think Deyou is going to be great!" The old lady leaned against the wall and exclaimed.
