A few people played in the clubhouse until around nine o'clock in the evening. Feng Shiru had arrived home, and Xiaomeng's home was in Xishan Town, which was far away from Ye Town, but not very close. It was late at night, and Ye Chenmo didn't come either.
I was too worried about her going back alone, so I had to put her motorcycle on the back of the car and take it with me.
"Okay, Brother Ye, I'm here!"
"Be careful!"
Ye Chenmo helped her take down the motorcycle. Xiaomeng's house was in good condition, with a three-story white building and smooth ceramic tiles that could be seen from a long distance away.
"I understand, Brother Ye, please drive more carefully!"
"Um!…"
When I got home, it was almost half past ten. I originally wanted to go to bed, but I just remembered what Xiaole said at noon, and I had to talk to my aunt and the others! After all, it’s nothing for Xiaole to go out to work at such a young age.
Oh! Besides, in today's new era, a girl without electronic literacy cannot continue to work as a general worker in the future!!
When they arrived at Xiaohuan's mother's room, the couple were sitting on the bed watching TV. Their TV was similar to the one used by Mr. Ye. It was just a very old small color TV and it was not connected to cable TV. They could only use the antenna to receive a few TV sets.
The TV station, CCTV, will definitely have one!
"Xiao Mo! Come and sit here quickly!"
Xiao Huan's mother was wearing a sweater on the bed. Looking at the color, it seemed that it was either the one worn by Xiao Huan's father or the second grandfather's. Rural women do have some good skills. Xiao Huan, Xiao Le and the others didn't know who they learned from.
"Oh! Okay, my aunt is very good at her craftsmanship!"
"Haha, I'm giving your second grandpa a sweater to celebrate the New Year. Xiao Mo, I have something to do!"
"Yeah! A little bit!"
"Auntie, that!! I heard from Xiao Le, are you planning to let Xiao Le go out to work next year?"
Xiao Huan's mother and Xiao Huan's father looked at each other, a little strange. They were just discussing this and did not tell Xiao Le. However, Xiao Huan's mother still nodded silently.
"Auntie, I think it's too early for Xiaole to go out and work now when he's so young!"
Xiao Huan's mother glanced at Ye Chenmo. This nephew had been out for seven or eight years. After he came back, he was much older. He talked to his relatives in a secretive manner! She sighed softly:
"Xiao Le, my studies are not as good as Xiao Huan's. I have been in the middle and upper reaches. I estimate that when I take the high school entrance examination, I may not be able to pass the No. 1 Middle School!"
To be honest, since several high schools in the city have been divided into grades, there are countless rural students who have failed because they did not enter the No. 1 middle school. What Xiaohuan’s mother said is also a kind of helplessness. In the countryside, on the one hand, it is because of money.
The reason is that many parents are unwilling to bear the burden. Another reason is that it has formed a habit in rural areas. If you are not listed in the No. 1 middle school, but study in other high schools, it seems that you have no face in the village. This is no wonder Xiaohuan
Mom is a little worried!
"Auntie, to be honest, it's not a good choice for Xiaole to go out to work as a general worker! Nowadays, the salary for hard work is not high, and there is no increase in range! After working for a year, it's only a small amount of money!"
Xiao Huan's mother frowned, but she forgot that her nephew had heard that he had a good job in the capital, and he might also know something about the situation outside.
"Xiao Mo, do you know what kind of jobs are good for girls outside now? In the past, being a tailor seemed quite reliable, but now factories only use machines, and they don't seem to be of much use anymore!"
"Haha, my aunt is right. Nowadays, factories are all about automation. If you learn tailoring, you can only mend clothes. Small factories without automation generally won't last long and will be eliminated from the market sooner or later!"
"Is that so!...?"
Xiao Huan's mother was startled. Xiao Le's aunt's place was just a small handicraft factory. According to what her nephew said, it didn't seem like it would last long!…
"Auntie, there are more opportunities for girls to find jobs outside now. Even if Xiaole didn't get into the No. 1 middle school and went to an ordinary university, he could easily earn a salary of three to four thousand yuan, and it was very easy.
, you don’t have to stay at work all day!”
"Of course, if Xiaole can learn some skills, the salary can be high, such as learning some computer skills, and the salary can rise faster! However, generally speaking, it is best to have a bachelor's degree, and ultimately
They are all the basis for salary benefits and job promotion!"
Xiao Huan's mother nodded, not sure if she heard it, but her eyebrows relaxed a lot, as if she was a little moved!
"Auntie, how about this! I have made some money outside, but I can't do anything to help you. From now on, Xiao Huan Xiaole's expenses will be borne by me, my brother!"
"How can that happen~~!! Xiao Mo, please stop talking, the two of us are discussing this matter!"
Xiao Huan's father quickly objected. After all, Xiao Huan and Xiao Le are just Ye Chenmo's cousin. In terms of blood, they are not close relatives. If they were completely entrusted to Ye Chenmo, it would definitely not make sense.
Chen Mo also realized that he might have spoken too hastily. He could never deprive them of their right to be parents! He had no choice but to get out first!
The next day, Ye Chenmo went to the reservoir to take a look. The progress was very good. The hill next to it was almost leveled. The excavated soil was used to build a dam more than thirty meters high downstream. These days,
Many young people working abroad in Shangye Town have returned. The Nanshan Lake project requires a large number of laborers. There are already many people from other cities working here. Ye Chenmo walked around casually and listened to the dialects they spoke.
Familiar, it’s from the city next door!
"Brother Ye!!" From far away, I heard someone calling me. I went over and was startled!
"Third son! Why are you doing it here too?"
Liu Xiaosan is also wearing a yellow overalls and a safety helmet, looking like a worker!
"Haha, the salary here is pretty good, one hundred yuan a day, and it's close to home! Anyway, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I'll work here!"
"Are wages paid once a day?"
"I pay once a week, and I also need 20 yuan in food allowance at noon!"
Ye Chen nodded silently. One hundred a day was basically the same as their wages outside, but it was better to live at home and take care of the family.
In addition, Ye Chenmo is still a little worried about the wages of the workers. Although the fifth building is a signboard, if wages are in arrears, it can still affect the progress of the project.
"Brother Ye, the water in the Sifang Reservoir over there is almost dry, and we are about to sell a lot of fish. Others are grabbing it again! Didn't you say you wanted to buy fish last time!!"
"Oh!! Got it!! Thanks!"
Ye Chenmo ran over hurriedly. The second mistress had nagged her several times about this matter. Although cured fish is simple to make, it takes time to dry and pickle. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so she still can't wait for the third son.
It belongs to their uncle's house.
When we came to the reservoir over there, there were indeed a lot of people, and the embankment was full. Reservoirs are different from ponds. Generally, ponds will not dry up for several years or even more than ten years. The fish are usually very big, so you can see them often.
There were probably about seven or eight liang of crucian carp or something like that. I remember when Ye Chenmo was a child, when the reservoir in the village was releasing water, he caught one, weighing more than two kilograms! It’s really rare!
"Uncle Bing! I'm busy!"
"Xiaoye! I'm here to buy fish!"
"Yeah! Buy some New Year's goods, haha!"
"Then you have to wait a while. Others bought these!"
The old soldier in the fourth room pointed to the bamboo basket covered with fish on the floor. Oh my god, it weighs more than a thousand kilograms, and there are still a lot of caught fish in it. They may be gone after a while!
"Uncle Bing, give it all to me later!!! Haha!!"
"OK!"
Ye Chenmo ran to the place where his son passed away, but did not dare to go into the pond again. The temperature was already very low, and the silt in the reservoir and the small pond were not at the same level.
