"Work?" Bai Lu was confused, "Didn't it mean that the factory is not recruiting people now?"
Her husband immediately echoed: "Yes, if the factory could recruit people, I would have arranged for you to join the factory!"
After saying that, Su Jianmin guessed at his niece and asked, "Xing'er, you don't feel embarrassed to have lived in our house for a long time, and deliberately lied to us about having a job, and then secretly rented a house to live outside, right?"
After hearing this, Lin Yulan hurriedly said: "How can a girl live alone outside? It's not safe! The world is in chaos now. Let alone renting a house, even if you have your own house, you won't feel at ease without a man by your side."
"Mom, are you exaggerating?" Xu Damei looked unbelieving, "How can it be so chaotic?"
"You stay at our home and factory, running back and forth every day, and you have no idea what's going on outside..."
Lin Yulan recounted what she had heard recently and said: "I'm not being alarmist. I heard from Aunt Wang downstairs two days ago that her sister-in-law's niece... not long after they got married, the couple lived in the same house.
In a small bungalow.
Later, the girl's husband was arrested, and she lived alone for less than half a month, and the house was robbed by two homeless people."
"What?" Everyone was surprised, "Robbing a house? Is there such a thing? It's a lie, right?"
Su Xiaosi didn't believe it, "I've heard of people robbing money, food, and food stamps, but I've never heard of people robbing houses."
"Why did I lie to you? The homeless man found out that her husband had committed a crime and was caught, so he took over her house."
"Can they take over that house if they want? Isn't that a mess?" Su Zhiyuan was also very surprised.
Lin Yulan said: "It's just chaos. I heard from Aunt Wang that the homeless man said that he was sent by some district committee organization and that there was something wrong with her husband. She was not qualified to live in such a good house. The house was requisitioned by the organization...
Anyway, she was driven away and now she has no place to live. She is seeking refuge with her relatives, and her relatives are afraid to let her live. After all, her husband has problems, and no one wants to get involved in such a thing, right?"
Su Zhiyuan couldn't help but murmured softly, "The district committee organization..."
If he remembered correctly, he heard Xiaomei mention that her father was the director of the district committee. Does this have something to do with her father?
Thinking about this randomly, he heard his father cough, "Okay, let's not talk about these annoying things, let's eat."
"That's right, let's eat and eat," Lin Yulan said. "Look at my mouth. I can't stop nagging."
Bai Lu filled the bowls of rice for everyone, and then put a piece of meat in Bai Xing's bowl.
"Don't think too much, just stay here. I'm your aunt, and my home is your home. We'll figure out how to deal with work later. There's no way the country will make you unemployed." Her voice was gentle.
Bai Xing's eyes were moved, "Aunt..."
Feeling warm in her heart, she said movedly: "Thank you, aunt, but I didn't lie. I really found a job. I work as a translator at Jingyang Hotel for foreign guests who come to stay and dine."
After she said this, she saw the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, and hurriedly explained: "Today I went out for an interview. The person who recommended me was a teacher from my previous school. He is no longer a teacher.
Work in that hotel.
Because the hotel is currently short of people, especially people who can speak foreign languages, my teacher remembered that I was pretty good at English, so he recommended me. Although I didn’t get a diploma, they finally made an exception and recruited me."
Bai Lu was surprised, "Xing'er, are you telling the truth?"
"Well," Bai Xing nodded twice, "Auntie, thank you for taking such good care of me. Although I can't bear to let you go, I am old after all. I want to work and make money, and I don't want to add to your burden."
"It's a good thing to have a job!" Su Jianmin said, "I just don't know if the job is reliable..."
Xu Damei couldn't help but said at this time: "I know that hotel, it used to be called Tengfei Hotel, and it was renamed Jingyang last year. That place is so high-end. In the past, only leaders and foreigners came in and out, but ordinary people didn't.
The money goes in and is spent.”
Hearing her mention that the hotel used to be called "Tengfei Hotel", Su Jianmin and the other adults all reacted.
"Oh, so that's where it is! It's indeed a high-end and luxurious place."
Bai Lu quickly remembered that the hotel was in the city center and had a very high floor. It was not only a place for dining, but also accommodation. It was a place specially designed to accommodate foreign guests.
"My cousin is so amazing!" Jin Bao exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Being able to translate for foreign guests means that my cousin's spoken English is absolutely excellent!"
Bai Xing's cheeks were slightly red, and she said sheepishly: "It's not very good either..."
"There's no need to be modest about this. I know you study well, especially languages. I heard your mother say before that in addition to English, you also know several languages."
Bai Lu took her niece's hand and patted the back of her hand gently, "To be honest, you are just acting as a translator for foreign guests, and I feel that your talents have been buried."
Lin Yulan was surprised when she heard this, "Ah! Myolie is so amazing, she can speak several languages."
Speaking of this, she glanced at her daughter, her eyes seemed to say, look at her, then look at you...
"Mom, don't look at me like that. My grades are poor, but I have graduated from high school. How many people can't even pass the high school exam, right? I'm not as good as those above, but I'm still more than enough." Xu Damei
explain.
Her mother gently tapped her forehead, "You..."
Seeing her mother's helpless and doting look, Xu Damei felt so sweet in her heart that she forgot all about Brother Zhiyuan for the time being. Although there was no love, she could be sure that her parents loved her very much.
Su Zhiyuan looked at the way she tilted her head on her mother's shoulder, and there was a soft warmth in her eyes.
Before, he felt that Damei liked him and he didn't know how to get along with her, but now that he thought about it, he seemed to be worrying too much.
After not seeing each other for so many years, she must have given up long ago...
As long as she still calls him Brother Zhiyuan, he will still treat her as his sister, just like in high school.
Feeling the gaze beside her, Xu Damei turned her head subconsciously, and her eyes happened to meet Brother Zhiyuan's impartially.
The two of them were stunned at the same time. Su Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed. He quickly looked at his bowl and chopsticks, then picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and gave it to his sister next to him, "Jin Bao eats meat. This piece is not fat and will not make you feel greasy."
"Brother, there's a lot of meat in my bowl. You need to eat more."
Half of Jinbao's bowl is filled with rice and the other half is filled with meat, which her father gave to her.
"Well, okay..." Su Zhiyuan nodded unnaturally, then picked up another piece of meat and started eating.
After everyone finished chatting about Bai Xing's work and almost finished eating, Xu Qiang kept winking at Su Jianmin.
Of course Su Jianmin understood what he meant. He looked at Zhiyuan, then at Damei, organized his words, and said: "Well, Zhiyuan, you are now a big boss, you should also think about the major events of your life.
Dad, that’s what I think. You and Damei have known each other since childhood..."
Before his father could finish speaking, Jinbao covered his mouth and kept coughing, as if he was choking on food.
