"Hmph! If you say it won't affect you, it won't affect you. Where is the construction site? Is it a place where you bring the baby? Today you brought the baby, and tomorrow someone else will see what he looks like! Give it to me quickly.
Send away!"
"But there's really no one at home to take care of him." Chen Youkang rubbed his hands guiltily.
Temporary workers don't ask for leave. If they don't show up for one day, they may not be available for the job the next day.
Chen Youkang needs this job. The coal mine where his wife works is not doing well this year and has been unable to pay wages for three consecutive months. After his father-in-law died of illness, his mother-in-law also fell ill, and her daily medical expenses cost dozens of dollars;
He has excellent academic performance and was selected into the school competition team in the first year of junior high school. During the summer vacation, he was dragged by the teacher to participate in competition coaching. Today, he also participated in the inter-school simulation competition. Therefore, he is the only labor force in the whole family, even if he has a fever
He has to carry it hard, not to mention that his daughter is very well-behaved and really won't hold him back.
But no matter how he guaranteed it, the director directly in charge refused to agree.
He even said: "Then don't do it! Go home and take care of your children! There are many temporary workers!"
After saying that, he left arrogantly, squinting at the farmers squatting outside waiting for work: "Chen Youkang's temporary job vacancy, which of you is willing to take the job?"
"I!"
"I!"
There are so many people vying for work.
Chen Youkang pursed his lips tightly, and his weather-beaten face, even though he was still in his prime, turned red with frustration.
He looked down at his daughter who was fluttering around his trouser legs, gritted his teeth, picked her up, and strode out of the woodyard.
"Uncle Chen!"
Xiao Baozi, who witnessed all this, dragged Zhuang Yi and quickly chased after him.
"It's Xiaoyu!"
Chen Youkang smiled kindly. Even though his heart was full of sadness and despair, he did not show it to any child.
"Uncle Chen, is that ugly big belly bullying you?"
The childish words made Chen Youkang laugh.
"No. It's just..." After a pause, he sighed softly. Why should he tell such a troublesome thing to a child? He held his daughter with one hand and touched the little bun with his other hand. "Uncle, it's okay. You two
Why are you here?"
"Oh, we're going home! I wanted to say goodbye to Uncle Chen." Little Baozi thought of the toffee in his pocket, took it out, peeled one off and fed it to Nini's mouth, grinning and asking
Little sister, "Isn't it sweet?"
Chen Youkang touched his pocket and said embarrassedly: "Uncle, I have nothing to give you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Little Baozi waved his hand and blinked with his big cunning eyes, "Uncle Chen, your logging skills are so good, do you want to work at our house? My mother has a small island and needs to build many wooden houses. Uncle Chen
If you can't find a job, go to our house to log wood! My mother is very nice, and she will give you a much higher salary than in the lumberyard..."
Chen Youkang didn't dare to take it seriously. He thought the little guy was comforting him and responded with a few words with a smile.
Little Baozi couldn't be more serious and pulled him towards the hotel: "Uncle Chen, don't believe it! Our family really needs you! If you don't believe it, ask my mother..."
Xu Suizhu, who had packed his luggage and was waiting to set off, couldn't help but hold his forehead when he saw the honest man being dragged back by his son.
However, after listening to my son's explanation, I actually came up with the idea of hiring a professional lumberjack...perhaps I was led astray by my son's nonsense.
"Master Chen, my naughty child has caused you trouble."
"No, no, no." Chen Youkang's dark face flushed, he scratched his head and said, "Xiaoyu is very cute. Before leaving, he came here to say goodbye and gave Nini a lot of candies. I am the one who feels embarrassed..."
The two sides exchanged a few words.
When it came to the job of logging, Xu Suizhu left him a contact information: "Master Chen, our family does have an island, and it is true that we want to cut down trees to build a wooden house as the child said. If you are interested, or have a suitable
Candidate recommendations are welcome at any time, and remuneration is easily negotiable.”
"Ah?" Chen Youkang was surprised.
I didn't expect that what the child said was true.
But even so, he didn't consider traveling so far to work. After all, his home is here. His parents are gone, but his mother-in-law is still there. As the old saying goes, "Parents can't travel far when they are away", not to mention the two children are still young. Thousands of miles away
It was unrealistic to go all the way to the south to work. But out of politeness, he politely accepted the note with his address and phone number.
Farewell to his little friend who was eager to introduce him to a job not long after they met, Chen Youkang's face dropped. He hugged his daughter and walked while thinking about what to do next. There was no way back to Kiba, but apart from Kiba,
What can he do as a reckless man who doesn't know a word and only works hard?
"Old Chen! Old Chen!"
At the foot of the mountain, fellow villagers from the same village came hurriedly.
What!!!
The bad news almost made him unable to stand still - his mother-in-law was gone!
After that, I was very busy: comforting my daughter-in-law, organizing the funeral, and asking someone to find out which company hired temporary workers.
Forget about regular workers, they are nothing but pitfalls. When old workers retire and their children take over, there will be no vacancies for temporary workers to become regular workers.
However, there are too many monks and too little food, and there are also many temporary worker positions that are being taken up by people.
Go into the mountains to dig up medicinal materials and sell them. September in the Northeast is like winter, and it's even worse in the mountains. The mountains are covered with heavy snow in early September.
Chen Youkang was holding on to the little savings his family had left. He couldn't help but worry when he thought about his son who was about to start school. Once the tuition fees and custody fees were paid, he didn't even have enough money to grind rice flour for his daughter.
He remembered the contact information left by Xu Suizhu, rummaged through his pockets and finally found this life-saving straw in the pocket of his coarse overalls that had been soaked in honey locust water. Although the handwriting was a little blurred, he could still basically make it out, and he couldn't help but hold it tightly.
A note that can save their family from disaster...
It was the end of August when Xu Suizhu returned to Yupu. Students reported that the new semester had started and they were very busy.
Because of the news about the diversion, this year's high school freshmen were only recruited from two classes, which was one class less than when she first came to the town.
The uneasy young teachers ran away and dispersed. Fortunately, there was no shortage of main subject teachers in the senior year.
Lin Yujuan, Deng Zhijie, and Xia Mingli heard the bad news after returning to school, and in turn went to their respective alma maters to recruit people. This moved her deeply.
He secretly called the three of them to the principal's office and informed them of their plans to open the school.
Lin Yujuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm telling you! I don't think you are in a hurry for such a big thing. I dare not hold back my big move. Okay! Just have a plan. I'm going to class! Teacher Xia and I will share the class for the first year of high school. In addition,
If you are short of funds, just say, "Her boss is not short of money."
Xia Mingli and Deng Zhijie looked at each other and smiled: "We have gone to class too! We will stick to our senior year and never waver!"
Indeed! This senior class of high school will be the first class after the restructuring. If they succeed in the college entrance examination, the source of subsequent students will not be bad.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the town is in turmoil and can be shut down at any time, but in fact, the internal operations are still normal.
