40. Chapter 40 Do you think I really care about this job?
Author: Nanfeng Shili Passing
Lu Yongguo, who was about to leave, suddenly paused when he heard these words.
He turned around and looked at Lin Fangyue with disgust in his eyes.
"How much do you think I really care about this job?"
His purpose of staying here is to give his wife and children a better life. If he is asked to give up his wife, what is the point of working here?
After saying that, he turned and left.
He didn't want to stay here and argue too much with her, not because of what she did but deserved forgiveness, just because there were people at home waiting for him.
He promised her that he would not let her wait too long at the entrance of the village.
Lin Yuefang was left standing there.
Lin Yuefang looked at her back, pursed her lips, and tears gradually accumulated in her eyes.
This was the first time in her life that she had suffered such injustice.
"Oh, I think you should forget it." Liu Yuejin on the side advised.
"Lu Yongguo is really stubborn, so don't hang yourself from a tree."
"Who asked you to admit it?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Fangyue turned around, pushed towards Liu Yuejin, and took out her temper on him.
Liu Yuejin felt pain and took two steps back.
"Then...then what can I do? He wants to take me to the police.
It’s not like you don’t know that my job was given to me by my two brothers and a sister. If I lose it, I’ll have to cut my skin off.”
"What are you afraid of? Does he really dare to call the police? If this kind of thing gets too big, no one will benefit.
Besides, even if we go to the police station, isn’t there still my dad?”
This...Liu Yuejin didn't expect it.
"Why did I think so much at that time?"
"Okay, okay, aunt." He said kind words and begged for mercy: "You should think about what to do next?"
"What should I do? Is it possible that he is really willing to lose his job?"
How important is a job these days? It means having an iron rice bowl, guaranteeing harvests despite droughts and floods, and no longer relying on the sky for food. This sense of security is very important to the Chinese people who have been farmers for thousands of years.
There is a popular saying among the people: Long live thirty-six yuan.
Thirty-six yuan is a worker's salary.
With these thirty-six dollars, I thought I no longer had to worry about life.
Who would give up this stable life for a woman?
She didn't believe that Lu Yongguo could be so stupid.
**
At this time, Lu Yongguo had already dragged his tired body back home and caught the earliest morning bus. When he got home, it was still dark and his pockets were filled with rice, flour, grains and oils issued by the work.
From a distance, I saw two figures at the entrance of the village, one big and one small.
Just looking at it makes my heart warm.
"I'm back." Cree Yaqian greeted her.
"Daddy..." the little guy shouted sweetly.
Lu Yongguo smiled heartily, put the little guy on his shoulders, held his wife's hand with one hand and headed home.
When she got home, Wang Qiaoping had already prepared breakfast.
Two soup eggs and steamed buns.
"Quick, let's go and rest after eating."
Everyone in the family knew that he worked the night shift and urged him to go to bed after eating.
However, Lu Yongguo had breakfast and washed his face and feet. Even though he was exhausted physically and mentally, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he lay on the bed.
"What's wrong?"
Cree Yaqian took a thick quilt from the cabinet, turned her head and saw him staring at her with his eyes open.
"Ya Qian." Lu Yongguo called her.
"What do you think if I don't do this job?" he asked tentatively.
She knew that he finally couldn't do it anymore.
"If you don't want to do it, just don't do it." Que Yaqian said: "Anyway, this kind of work will end in one glance, and there is no future if you continue doing it."
The iron rice bowl that others dreamed of, but when it came to her mouth, she was so dismissive.
He came over with only the big quilt in his arms and quickly made Lu Yongguo's bed.
"Don't you ask me what I plan to do?" Lu Yongguo came over and asked.
Cree Yaqian paused in making the bed and looked back at him.
"What? Do you have something in mind?"
"I met my master some time ago." Lu Yongguo said.
He had been thinking about this for a long time. Putting aside the money, he seemed to miss the days of touching the steering wheel more than staying in a unit and doing things step by step.
Now that he really couldn't stand the crazy woman in the work unit, he thought that maybe he could follow the master and try again, at least it would be a way to make a living.
"What a good thing!"
Cree Yaqian smiled.
"So, you support it?"
"As long as it's something you want to do, I'll support it."
An An stood aside, holding a dried sweet potato. She saw her parents smiling, but she couldn't quite understand what they said.
This night, my parents spent the whole night together.
Early the next morning, I picked her up from the bed.
"An'an, are you going to the city?" her mother asked her.
"Go, go, of course..."
The city is so lively. An An likes to go to the city the most.
In fact, many children in the village have never even entered the city once. An An has been there several times, and in their eyes, he has become a child who has seen the "big world".
On the way, she heard her mother whisper to her father: "Now many things can be done without tickets."
"Buy more, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, we have to celebrate the New Year well."
Que Yaqian believes that the more others bully her and suppress her, the more she must not be depressed and the more she must live a good life and show her prosperity to others.
"The family has money." She said to Lu Yongguo.
"I have saved all your wages in the city in the past two years. I have more than 1,600 yuan, which is enough to buy everything."
"Yeah."
As she spoke, she stuffed twenty Unity cards into Lu Yongguo's pocket.
Then he said: "Besides, we are going to see your master and ask for help. We don't have enough things to carry, and others won't buy it."
An An heard many words but could not understand them.
She only knew that her parents really bought a lot of things...
Let's just talk about malted milk. It's such an expensive thing. After my father bought a can, he turned back to look at her, then turned to the salesperson and said, "Buy another can."
I bought malted milk, meat, Fuqiang flour, sesame oil, peach cake, rock sugar...
I bought some cloth and new cotton and planned to make clothes for An An.
In fact, An An obviously has cotton-padded clothes.
Many of the other children's clothes in the village were adapted from adults' old clothes. Only male dolls could wear new clothes.
An An not only has new clothes, but also more than one.
Not only new clothes, but also new headbands.
There are also toys and snacks...
While shopping, An An became nervous.
She heard that many female dolls in the village were like this. Their parents brought them to the city, suddenly bought a lot of things, and then...then gave away the female dolls...
It's not surprising that An An thinks so. Although her parents are very good to her, her past memories make her very insecure, and the feeling of being abandoned is too uncomfortable.
She loves her current parents so much...
When she thought of this, the novelty of the city suddenly weakened a lot. She just held her mother's hand tightly and said nothing along the way.
