Yao Yuan worked in print media, television, and the Internet in his previous life. He has been dealing with the media for 20 years. He has gone through a lot of ups and downs, but overall he is shining brightly.
The conditions of the brothers and sisters on the mother's side are good, but they are scattered across the country and they don't often interact with each other. The brothers and sisters on the father's side are relatively poor, but they are right here.
Yao Yuemin has a younger brother, who is Yao Yuan's uncle.
I had been a soldier before, but I had no real job when I returned from the army. My aunt was from the countryside. The two of them had set up stalls selling cigarettes, vegetables, and raised foxes. They harvested crops every year and never had any money left. From time to time, I asked my eldest brother for help.
For a long time, Yao Yuan was bothered by his uncle's family. Later he figured out that the kinship relationship among Chinese people is deep-rooted and difficult to break away from. What's more, his uncle is just poor, but he is not stupid and can be relied on at critical moments.
The old uncle also had a son named Yao Xiaobo. He had no plans to go to elementary school after he finished primary school. It was Yuan Liping who said: I will provide for the child to go to school!
So I went to junior high school, then high school, until I was admitted to a university in Shencheng. Although the school was average, it was still a university.
For this reason, Yao Yuemin and his uncle respected Yuan Liping very much.
Little Alto drove for twenty minutes and turned into a village on the outskirts of the city, Xiaolan Village.
The road connecting every village has not yet been built. The main road is good, but the paths are full of dirt. The three people came down and entered a courtyard with three large tile-roofed houses. The ground was covered with blood, and a big wolf dog howled.
"Don't scream!"
"You are blind, can't you recognize people?"
The old uncle chased away the big wolf dog and came over with a knife, which was dripping with blood. There was a wooden pile on the ground, and two rabbits had just been killed, and the old aunt was handling it.
"Arrived on time, just killed."
"This rabbit is so fat!"
Yuan Liping looked at it.
"Of course the carnivorous rabbits are fat. They were given to me by my comrades. I will braise one and fry the other."
"You have the final say, you are the chef anyway." The old aunt didn't even raise her eyes.
"..."
Yao Yuemin and Yuan Liping looked at each other, they were fighting again.
"uncle!"
"aunt!"
Yao Xiaobo came over to greet them, welcomed the three of them into the house, poured water, and took fruits very thoughtfully, and then sat and chatted with them.
He has dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a shy personality. He explained: "My father's comrade introduced me to a job in some performance company. He was responsible for setting up the stage. The salary was 600 yuan per month, including food and accommodation."
"Isn't that great?"
"The key is that he has to travel everywhere. The company has business in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and has a dedicated group. Wherever there is a performance, he has to go and set up a stage."
"Oh, so your mother is not happy."
"It's a small matter, I'll advise you later."
After hearing the reason, the two went out to help clean up, leaving their cousins in the house.
Yao Xiaobo is 20 years old and is in his third year of college. He lived with Yao Yuan's family when he was in middle school in the city. They have a very good relationship with him. He will be stared at by the other party's piercing eyes in fear. He can't help but say: "Brother, if you have anything to do, just ask
Say, don’t keep looking at me.”
"Xiaobo, you study computer, right?"
"yes."
"How's the level?"
"It depends on what you do. Generally speaking, it's fine."
"That's fine..."
Yao Yuan nodded and said: "For the sake of our long-term relationship, you have to do me a favor."
"Don't sound scary, I will definitely help. What do you want to do?"
"Not ready yet."
"ha?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I definitely need you to say hello in advance."
Yao Xiaobo was speechless and said: "Brother, why are you so talkative when you come back this time, and your words are becoming more and more out of tune?"
"Because the loading is not completed, it will be fine after a while."
Yao Yuan spread his hands and felt helpless.
…………
Two rabbits, one braised and one stir-fried with chili.
The large stoves that burn firewood in the countryside are the craftsmanship that the old man practiced in the army. In summer, the sun sets late, the residual heat is long, the room is filled with fragrance, and everyone is dripping with sweat.
In the evening, it was finally served.
There is also a plate of cold porridge, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a pot of enoki mushrooms mixed with cucumbers, yes, a pot. The table is set up in the back room, with the north and south windows open, and the breeze blowing through the hall is finally a little cool.
There is no taboo, all men are shirtless.
"Come and do one first!"
"call!"
Yao Yuan was also bare-chested, drinking cold beer bought from the village store. A chill went into his throat and went straight to his stomach, then exploded in his stomach. The coldness went up, and the hairs on his hair expanded, even the sweat on his face.
All missing.
It’s cool to be young!
How many years have you not drank like this?
My stomach is not good and my teeth are bad. I soak in wolfberry every day and wash my feet. It’s just a daily routine with my little sister. I don’t use swords or guns.
Yao Yuemin, who has always been the atmosphere team, started to control the scene: "Xiaobo, don't worry, I just made an agreement with your parents and your mother. Your mother's main concern is that your father is out by himself and doesn't come home all year round, and no one is watching.
I am afraid that something will happen to me, I am afraid that he will learn bad things, mainly because I am afraid that he will learn bad things.
I said it’s simple! He has no money in his pocket, so he has no conditions to learn bad things. Anyway, food and accommodation are provided, so wouldn’t it be over if you just send the money home?”
"That's fine, but I can't give them all. I have to keep some as a spare, just in case something happens."
The old uncle said gloomily.
"Then you have to discuss it among yourselves!"
"He has comrades by his side, and his life must be more comfortable than you think. Do you believe it? Even if you don't give him a penny, he will still smoke and drink every month."
Yuan Liping said.
"Yes, your sister-in-law is the most experienced..."
Yao Yuemin agreed very much, and finally added: "It is also the result of my years of cooperation."
"Hahaha!"
The room suddenly became cheerful.
Yao Yuan also laughed. Looking at this place, there is a big yard, delicious food, and the company of relatives. Putting aside the reality, life has come to an end.
But the damn thing is, reality can't be left behind.
There will be all kinds of unexpected surprises in your life. You still have to struggle and move forward so that when unexpected surprises occur, you will have the confidence and security to deal with them calmly and finally pursue the original happiness.
As he ate, Yao Yuemin became more and more interested and asked, "Hey, is Xiaobo going to be a junior this year?"
"Well, junior year begins."
"Is it easy to find a job in your major?"
"It's okay, it's quite popular."
"More than popular? You don't know that people who study computers can get jobs while they are in school..."
Yao Yuan's words frightened Yao Xiaobo, but he changed his tone: "Usually in the senior year, there will be some small projects, and then you can make money."
"Oh, that's great! You see, children have to study to be successful!" Yuan Liping said with satisfaction.
"..."
Yao Xiaobo was still trapped in the horror just now, and when he saw Yao Yuan blinking at him again, he felt even more frightened: Not only has this brother become so arrogant, how come he is also so clever?!
At this time, the old uncle also asked: "Xiaoyuan is a senior, right? Didn't he say he wanted to do an internship?"
"Go as soon as school starts, at the newspaper office."
"Be a reporter?"
The uncle and aunt's eyes lit up. Journalism is a coveted profession these days, and newspapers and TV stations are even more noble.
"Not necessarily. An internship is an internship and is two different things from work."
Yao Yuan simply explained: "The Beijing Youth Daily I go to is a major newspaper, with a circulation of 600,000 per issue, advertising of 500 million last year, and it also has a staff and public institutions.
So you just think, in a large and well-established unit in Beijing, even if I have an employment contract, it will not be easy for me to stay."
"..."
The topic seemed a little serious for a while, and my parents didn’t know how to answer it.
Yao Yuan smiled and continued: "But the internship is mainly for training. It is a necessary process for the senior year. There are quite a lot of employment directions in my major, such as reporter, editor, planning, operation. If I can't do it, I will take the civil service exam. If I can't do it, I will start my own business.
.”
"That's right, it's easy to find a job now, don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"
"Xiaoyuan has always been smart!"
"Come and do it again!"
(I haven’t seen my comrades for half a year, and I miss them so much... The blind date failed...
