Chapter 1321 The short-lived cousin of the heroine of Wan Yuan House (3)
Although he doesn't believe in his daughter's painting skills, it is at least a way to find a relative. If he can take this opportunity to find his son, whom he has not seen since birth, Xue Taohua's lifelong wish will be fulfilled.
Therefore, in the past few days, she was fully expecting her daughter to draw a portrait of her son. She thought about it in everything she did, and even talked about it with her coworkers at work.
The co-workers were also enthusiastic and helped her with suggestions, introduced drivers for long-distance travel, and helped contact the mimeograph room...
After the factory leaders heard about it, they took the initiative to ask her to find out the situation. When they learned that this was indeed the case, they immediately said that the factory would bear the cost of mimeographing, so that she could relax and find her son.
Xue Taohua was so happy that when she got home she said to Xu Yin: "My dear, don't worry about painting, the factory will help us with the mimeograph matter."
Xu Yin: "..."
Ms. Xue, you have great mobility! You are faster than me!
In any case, the tension between her mother and the aunt next door was at war, and the tense relationship between Needlepoint and Maimang had eased. At least it was a good thing that they no longer kept arguing over trivial matters all day long.
Xu Xiqiao has been working the night shift these days. There are few night shift workers. The printing and dyeing workshop where he works is very dusty. He wears a mask during work. He rarely chats with other workers. He gets off work at six in the morning and has a few drinks when he gets home.
After making rice and porridge, I fell asleep, so I didn’t know about it.
Until the end of the night shift and the day off, he had a solid sleep. He just woke up when he heard his wife scream. He thought something big had happened, so he ran out of the bedroom while wearing slippers and tying his trousers:
"What happened?"
"Old Xu, look at this portrait, does it look like our son?"
Xue Taohua was so excited that her hands were shaking. She held up the portrait that her daughter had just finished and showed it to the man:
"The eyebrows, the nose, the corners of the mouth, they both look like you and my father. Do you think this is what our son looks like?"
Xu Xiqiao was stunned when he saw the portrait clearly: "Here, this is our son? Our son has been found? Where is he? When was he found? Why didn't I know?"
"..."
Xue Taohua hit him angrily and funnyly: "What are you dreaming about! If I really find it back, I won't be overjoyed? This is the portrait of my son that my daughter drew using our family photo. Do you think it looks like it?"
"..."
Happy for nothing.
But when it comes to the true resemblance, Xu Xiqiao's eyes became wet when he held the painting: "If my father were still here, he would definitely recognize his grandson when he saw this portrait. I'll show it to my mother to make her happy too."
Happy."
"..."
Xue Taohua took the portrait back and said, "I still need to take the mimeograph. Print it and show it to mom. Don't damage it."
She was worried that the old lady would hold the portrait and howl at her grandson endlessly, soiling the fine painting. It took her daughter several days to finish it, and she would have to go to work next, so there would be no time to paint it again.
When it came to going to work in a state-owned hotel, Xue Taohua took the trouble to remind her daughter:
"When you go to work, don't be petty or irritating. Although your position is that of a salesperson, if you have the opportunity, learn a few of the master's specialties from him. During the holidays, when the master is too busy, you can be diligent.
Point, take the initiative to strike him, don’t act like an abacus ball, just dial it first.”
In Xue Taohua's eyes, state-owned hotels are the best workplaces. The work is free and easy, and there are plenty of jobs. How many people want to get in? If the current chef is not the niece-in-law of the master chef in Xu Xiqiao's workshop, how can he meet such a good thing?
Xu Yin said: "Mom, don't worry, I know what to do."
"It's good to know." Seeing that the weather was nice, Xue Taohua moved the extra mattresses at home to the balcony to bask in the sun. "Your workplace is far from home. You can't go home every day after work. I don't know what's going on in the workplace dormitory."
, it’s better to take everything you need with you.”
Xu Yin has no objection to this.
Even if she doesn’t have enough at home, she still has a system warehouse, what else does she need?
In the original text, the original person fell into the river and drowned. The vacancy in the state-owned hotel should have been reserved for outsiders - a cousin who was closely related by blood could go there.
However, her parents and uncle's family were at loggerheads. Not to mention the chance of regular employment, temporary employment opportunities were not given to them. Instead, Xu Wen devoted herself to developing her clothing business. It is said that her position in a state-owned hotel was passed on by fate.
If you hold the wrong girl in your arms, you will be punished.
Her biological parents were the culprits that caused the missing of her original eldest brother. After hearing this, Xue Taohua was even more stimulated: My son was taken away by you and put up for adoption. His life and death are unknown. Your daughter was lucky enough to pick up the missing copy.
It's my daughter's job.
But that family lived far away, and it was not easy to come to the door if she wanted to scold her. As a result, she had nowhere to vent her grievances. She was like a firecracker, constantly quarreling with the sister-in-law next door, and then pointed the finger at the heroine in the early stages of her business and gave her
It caused a lot of stumbling blocks.
But this time, Xu Yin came.
Although state-owned restaurants will only last a few years, by the mid-to-late 1980s they will be overcrowded by private restaurants and food stalls that pop up one after another and lose their competitiveness, and they will never regain their former glory.
But this is an opportunity that the original father got by giving him cigarettes and wine, and doing a lot of physical work for the master. Besides, the results have been good in the past few years, she will obey the couple's wishes and go to the state-owned hotel steadily.
Go to work, survive, and try not to let any bad luck happen later.
At worst, we can wait until the situation is no longer possible before looking for other ways to make a living.
Roads are made by people. If a road is blocked and impassable, you can still get out of the broad road by changing another road.
The state-owned hotel is in the city center. You have to take a shuttle bus from home, then change to two trams, and it takes two or three hours to get there.
Although state-owned hotels don't work in three shifts, they do have morning and evening shifts. The morning shift arrives at the store at 5:30, while the evening shift doesn't finish until it closes at 8:30 p.m.
Regardless of the type of shift, commuting every day is inconvenient. Fortunately, these days, state-owned units will arrange dormitories for employees.
Seeing that there were a lot of luggage and items packed out, Xue Taohua originally wanted to switch shifts with her coworkers and take her daughter off to report to the unit.
"Your dad's job works in three shifts, and he can't be transferred out recently. Otherwise, I would be more relieved to have him accompany you."
Xu Yin weighed the two big bundles and said, "Mom, I can carry them. You don't have to accompany me."
"It's hard for me to carry it, how can you possibly carry it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Taohua saw her daughter lifting a bundle in each hand, with a dazed look on her face:
"Can you really carry it? Then last time your grandma asked you to carry a bag of potatoes back. You walked a few steps and rested for a while. You said you couldn't carry it and didn't want to carry it. Are you just pretending that you didn't want to carry it?"
"……hey-hey."
"..."
Since she can carry it, Xue Taohua won't accompany her.
A round trip to the city costs a lot of money. The key is that you don't have to find a coworker to change shifts. I just had to change shifts with a coworker a few days ago because my daughter fell into a river. It is inevitable that the coworker will have objections if I want to change again.
Xu Yin felt less stressed when she reported in alone, and she could also act according to the situation and get the necessary daily necessities.
