A young and beautiful girl jumped in from the threshold of the courtyard door.
She also had a beige satchel slung around her waist. The satchel was single in color and simple in style.
Her twin ponytails swayed from side to side, her dress with floral prints danced slightly, and she was humming a cheerful tune. As soon as she entered the door, she grinned at the east wing and shouted: "Mom, Dad, I'm back!"
After shouting, there was no response from the other side of the room, so she didn't care and just strode home.
After walking through the door, the four people in the room sat at the dining table and turned to look at her.
One of them is a middle-aged man with an oval face and slightly dark skin, and the other is a middle-aged woman with a slightly fair complexion and not much out of shape.
The rest is a beautiful, somewhat delicate woman. She has completely inherited the genes of her parents. She has an oval face with fair skin, a pair of bright almond eyes, and she looks a bit shrewd; she has a thin figure.
, but the cardigan on the chest is bulging.
There is also a relatively strong young man who doesn't look too young. He is sitting with his back to the door. He just glances at it and then works hard to eat! This is the time when he is growing, so he needs to eat more. Sister,
It only looks good to outsiders, but in my younger brother's eyes, everything is wrong.
Yu Haitang bent over and pulled off the satchel carelessly, then threw the bag imagelessly on a bench in the room.
This gesture makes the eyes of the old couple in the family twitch. Who does this character look like?
Yu Li also pursed her lips and smiled. Her sister really didn't look like a girl at all, but more like a boy.
Yu Haitang didn't care about this. After throwing away the bag, she breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "I will be exhausted by taking a car. The factory is in the east of the city and our home is in the west. How far is it? Come here by car.
It takes half an hour, which is really inconvenient!”
"The workplace was a little busy today. I almost missed the bus! But it scared me to death. What should I do if I can't get on the bus?"
After saying that, Yu Haitang stepped to Yu Li's side and said, "Sister, sit over there."
Father Yu frowned tightly and shouted softly, "You look like a girl. How can you find a husband who is careless all day long?"
Yu Haitang picked up Kuaizi in one hand and a steamed bun with two noodles in the other. She said nonchalantly: "What's this? Free love is advocated now, haven't I not found the right person yet?"
"I'm only nineteen years old now, just one year old enough to get married. I'm not a village girl in the village, so I'm worried that I won't be able to find a partner? Why should I be anxious about this?"
"Besides, isn't it my sister? Isn't my sister two years older than me still unmarried? Then I don't have to worry!"
Yu Haitang spoke plausibly, tilted his head and stuffed a large mouthful of food into his mouth, then took two bites of steamed buns, making his whole cheeks bulge.
She squeezes into the bus at the end of the day, when there are more buses? Don’t even think about standing. After a busy day and standing for half an hour, she is exhausted.
When Yu Li was mentioned, Yu's father and mother also turned their heads.
Yu Li ate her rice in small sips, her obedient appearance looked much gentler than Yu Haitang's.
Father Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Li is indeed not young. I have been paying attention to it in the past two years. If the eldest daughter cannot marry well, the family will not live well, so we must be careful!"
Yu Haitang curled his lips, seeming a little disdainful. In what age are you still dating?
I searched around, near my home and near the supply and marketing cooperative where I worked in Nanluoguxiang. I searched in such a big area, but there was no movement at all for two years.
Can you find someone you like at home?
They don’t respond to the call of the country at all. Those policies are so difficult to promote, and it’s all these old stubborns who are holding them back!
"Dad, didn't you say you wanted to change your house before? Not to mention that I work in the DC area. Even your supply and marketing cooperative in Nanluogu Lane is not close to our home!"
After saying that, Yu Haitang lowered his head and took a bite of the steamed bun, and said with a slur in his mouth: "It's convenient for you to have a bicycle. I have to take the bus to work and get off work."
Their father, Yu, is a formal salesperson, and his monthly salary plus commission is 40 yuan. Yu Li has also been working for several years, and her family is very relaxed, so Yu Haitang thought about asking her family for help.
Yu's mother heard this and immediately scolded her with dissatisfaction: "Not long after I started working, I can barely support myself by earning more than ten yuan a month, and I still want to exchange for a bicycle? A second-hand bicycle costs a hundred and ten yuan. How long do you think it is?"
Can you earn it?"
After tentatively asking, he was rejected directly. Yu Haitang curled his lips and glanced at the all-white steamed buns in his brother's hand on the left.
She shouted in her heart, "Prioritize children over daughters!"
Although their family is not that serious, the old couple loves their son very much. In the past two years, even if they did not eat steamed buns with all white flour, they had to give it to their son first.
He also said that he was growing taller. Why didn't they get this treatment before?
That is to say, God is good today. Their family is not so tight and they dare to spend money. Only then can they eat white flour steamed buns and receive the same treatment as their younger brothers.
If my brother asks for a bicycle when he goes to work, he might even buy a Phoenix 18! It’s almost 200, but in the end he won’t even buy a second-hand one for her.
Yu Haitang took another big bite of the white flour steamed bun, and said unwillingly: "If you don't want to buy it, I won't buy it. Sister Lou opposite me is going home to give birth to a baby. When I become a full-time employee, I will have twenty
For seven and a half yuan, you can buy a second-hand bicycle in four months! I’ll buy a new one in six months!”
She was very envious of Lou Xiao'e. He was such an excellent husband, and the couple were so in love with each other. She, an unmarried girl, had sore teeth all day long!
She just became pregnant and immediately asked for maternity leave?
How is this possible? How much does this hurt your wife?
How is she dressed from head to toe? A pair of shoes is more expensive than her entire outfit. Her bags are imported from the Soviet Union, and each one costs her nearly a year's salary.
That is to say, she doesn't like to wear them, but she never lacks jewelry. She secretly wears a gold necklace, gold ring, or jade bracelet. She doesn't know how much it costs!
When I usually work in the workplace, I don't care about anyone. I just work when I feel happy, without looking at anyone's face. I eat snacks and chat, drink scented tea to moisten my throat, and read some books to enrich myself.
What kind of life is this like? Look at yourself again, don't mention it, she is just a newbie who has just entered the factory. Not to mention how it is to meet the boss, it is not easy to offend some old employees.
Mother Yu said in a sarcastic tone: "Yes, yes, my daughter has grown up and her wings have become stiff. She is really ambitious! If you have the ability, you can pay the living expenses for these few months first! Who said that if you go to work, you will be self-reliant!"
"The result? The salary is so warm in my hands that I bought a new set of clothes in the blink of an eye!"
"I think I should be able to hand it in in the second month, right? Oops! I bought another cowhide bag!"
"It's the third month, and I'm spending a lot of money on snacks and small jewelry, but go ahead and buy them! I haven't seen a penny!"
"Maybe, this girl still has gold bricks in her hands!"
The burial of my own parents was neither natural nor heart-wrenching. They made sense and cut into the flesh!
Yu Haitang held a breath in her heart and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I will pay you back in the future, right? Really! Didn't I just go to work? How can I let others take it lightly? Can't it be fine later? That's right!
I don’t know if I am your daughter!”
As soon as these words came out, Yu's mother immediately became angry. She stood up from the opposite side and poked Yu Haitang's forehead with her finger.
"You little heartless thing, I was only ten months pregnant with you! Why aren't you my daughter?"
Yu Haitang was poked, but she didn't say anything. She also knew that her mother didn't really want money from her, but it was too embarrassing for her!
As a young girl who had just found a job, she had to face such a huge psychological gap. She felt confident spending the money she earned. Although it was not as valuable as other people's money, having this thing could give her some psychological comfort.
Fortunately, her sister Lou didn't have the bad temper of a poor family and never showed off to her, thus satisfying her psychologically abnormal sense of superiority.
He doesn't look down on her, and often treats her to delicious food. This feeling of being respected gives her a lot of encouragement.
However, the more she was respected by Lou Xiao'e, the more she valued him, and the more she was afraid of losing face in front of Lou Xiao'e, which also aroused her unwillingness to admit defeat, so she spent money lavishly.
Just like talking back to his mother now, Yu Haitang has never accepted it before, "These words are not what I said, this is what you said, 'It's really not like me at all, it won't be the same as before.
Alright?'"
When Yu's mother heard this, she was very angry. She looked at Yu Haitang shaking her head and imitating her speech. She was really carved from the same mold. Now this mockery was so powerful that she suddenly became furious.
But just when he was about to speak, Yu's father spoke over there, "We are noisy and noisy all day long. You still don't know what my daughter's temper is? You are really following my temper. Is that okay?"
"
Father Yu turned his head and reprimanded without changing his expression: "Why are you always arguing with your mother? A big girl doesn't know how to pay attention to her own image. Just buying these things that look good is a good image? It's superficial! Be a little restrained, otherwise
How do you get along with your colleagues in the workplace?”
Yu Haitang lowered her head and looked like she was being trained, but in fact she didn't care. Is her sister Lou's temper any less? Otherwise, she still found a rookie in the factory? A master in the factory?
Although Yi Chuanzong's lazy look and awesome arrogance make him look the same, he can't resist the fact that this man is capable and loves his wife.
The couple is living a comfortable life! Are there any workers in the factory who are living more comfortably than Yi Chuanzong?
With no father or mother, Master Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter, and he is closer to him than his own son.
This person is also a seventh-level fitter, and their monthly salary is more than hers in a year!
After saying that, Yu's father ate absentmindedly. He was thinking about the problem of the house. Not only was the house inconvenient for work, it was also a bit old. It would definitely not be suitable for his son to get married in the future.
The mother and daughter stopped arguing. Everyone ate quietly, and there was a slight silence at the dinner table.
After a while, Father Yu came back to his senses, pondered for a moment and then said: "The situation in our family is not optimistic now. As you know, when young cadres are promoted, your little grandpa has also retired."
"He is not a high-ranking person, he is older, and there is no suggestion that he will be relegated to the second line. The company has changed so many people and he is no longer worthy of his appointment. Now it can be said that he is leaving. Not to mention changing houses, it is the job of the big girl.
There’s no way to turn things around.”
"A temporary salesperson only earns fifteen yuan a month, while a regular employee only earns nearly forty yuan. There is such a huge difference. I am afraid that none of the outstanding young people I originally looked for will be able to match them, and this
You don’t necessarily have to work for a long time. As for Haitang, I had to find my own job.”
The family fell into silence again.
Today's family is pretty good. A regular salesperson earns 40 yuan, a temporary salesperson earns 15 yuan, and Yu Haitang also earns more than 15 yuan. The family's income is almost 70, but there is no hard connection to make money.
Already.
Thanks to Yu Haitang's carelessness, she could find a job by herself, otherwise she would still be working as an embroiderer at home.
Besides, the old couple also had other ideas in mind. The daughter who got married was throwing water, and the son was not too young. He was two years younger than Yu Haitang and could get married in three years.
The old couple is very anxious about having a grandson. There is no promotion in the family, and the daughter can still save some money without getting married.
However, they are not too ruthless. Just like Yu Haitang, they will come out if they can. If they can't come out, it won't cause too much trouble.
There were no entertainment facilities at this time, and reading was not something everyone liked. Even Yu Haitang's temperament didn't seem to be quiet, and Yu Li didn't expect her to eat or read.
The dinner table is cleared. The family's youngest son, Yu Yaoyang, is seventeen years old. He is promising and can go to high school. Although he is not as good as a technical secondary school, he is still smart enough.
Thinking of the wad of money that Yi Chuanzong dropped on the floor at work today, Yu's father thought about it and asked: "Haitang, that Sister Lou you keep talking about opposite me, is her man's name Yi Chuanzong?"
Yu Haitang curled her lips, "Why mention him?" She envied Lou Xiao'e, but hated the way Yi Chuanzong looked at her, so naturally she was not willing to praise others.
Father Yu frowned slightly and said, "That's the seventh-level fitter in your factory. Didn't you pick up on me a few days ago? Isn't it the same person? He told me!"
Yu Haitang said in a long voice: "Yes... why are you mentioning him so well?"
Father Yu shouted in a low voice, "I don't usually have the right place to talk about. Why haven't you mentioned such an outstanding person?"
Yu Haitang curled her lips and didn't want to say anything. She didn't know how relieved she felt after this person was punished, and how cheerful her tone was.
It's not that she has no conscience. She has such a close relationship with Lou Xiao'e and still doesn't expect good things from her.
Mainly because of Yi Chuanzong's contemptuous eyes and his lack of attention to others, which really hurt the little girl's self-esteem.
This is the enemy!
Mother Yu thought for a while and asked: "Is this the young man who often buys wine from you? I bought more than ten bottles of Maotai? There are too many other Lanling Daqu and so on? This boy is quite powerful.
, the two senior fitters in the family are a good family, but it is a pity that they are married."
Yu Li's eyes were slightly longing. This matter had been discussed at home before. She also wanted to know what her future husband would be like. If she could find such a man, she would definitely not be embarrassed.
But my parents have been putting it off. There is nothing wrong with helping my younger brother. Anyway, this thing depends on fate, and maybe there will be something better later.
But now she can't get a full-time job and can't make much money, and she's not too young anymore. It's time to find her a husband soon, right?
Father Yu nodded seriously and said with a serious face: "This guy is not a simple guy. I even saw the director of our Nanluoguxiang Subdistrict Office take the initiative to say hello to him. He knows quite a few people."
"It is rumored that the friends he hangs out with are all at the level of deputy director. They drink tea, listen to music, and eat together. The director of the sub-district office in Nanluogu Lane is about to retire, and the friends he knows
How young? You have a bright future!"
"Not only because of this relationship, but he himself is also outstanding. Just today, oh, no matter what the design was, the factory in Shenyang gave him a reward of five hundred yuan at a time!"
Yu Li was sitting upright and laughing, but her eyes widened when she heard this. For five hundred yuan, she had to work for three years! Just give it once?
"In addition to the money, there was also a thick stack of bills! I bought more than 20 kilograms of dried fruits at one time. I didn't want to ask Haitang how he was doing, but I ended up pretending to be lost in the lake!"
Yu Haitang was lying lazily on the table listening. She knew all this, but she suddenly suffered the ruthless iron finger from her mother!
"You damn girl, you didn't even say that! I wonder how much this relationship is worth? Have you forgotten how difficult it is to find a job?"
Yu Haitang was about to return her mother's distracted expression when suddenly she felt something was wrong and raised her head.
Thinking about what her father had just said, she exclaimed: "What kind of ticket? Isn't it just money? I was still reading the manuscript at that time!"
