Chapter 260
The two of them were in a state of panic, and the two were in a state of panic.
This time Xu Jiajia made a great contribution.
The leader awarded them each 1,000 yuan and two jobs.
One is a machinery factory and the other is a textile factory.
Although He Sanjiu is not a soldier, he also participated in this matter, so he was also awarded 1,000 yuan.
His hand holding the money was shaking: "One thousand yuan, this, this is too much, mother, I'm rich, I'm rich, whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you."
Grandma He didn't expect the leader to be so generous this time, and he gave a thousand at once, but when she thought of the boxes of gold bars, she felt relieved: "There are still two jobs, how are you going to deal with these two jobs?"
Chen Rou first said: "My family members have jobs, so we don't need this."
Liu Yi has a brother and a sister, but they don't get along with him, so he doesn't want it either. : "I don't want it either."
Xu Jiajia looked at Uncle He: "Uncle He, what about you?"
Uncle He was a big mouth. If he wanted it, he said directly: "I want a job in the textile factory. Give it to your aunt. I'll buy it with money."
Xu Jiajia thought for a while and said: "Sell the two jobs for 800 yuan and then share them together. What do you think?"
Grandma He also joined in: "Jiajia, who wants a job in the machinery factory? No, I want it."
The eldest and the third have jobs, and only the second is still in his hometown.
Xu Jiajia knew what Grandma He was thinking, and she nodded and said: "Okay."
Two jobs cost 1,600 yuan.
Seven people share.
Each person gets 228 yuan.
...
Hejia Village.
Uncle He received a telegram asking him to go to Kyoto as soon as possible. He thought that the old man had an accident there, so he immediately ran to the post office to call Kyoto.
The phone number was the phone number of Xu Jiajia's army.
After the call was connected.
Uncle He asked someone to call Xu Jiajia to answer the phone.
Xu Jiajia heard the familiar voice and called out, "Uncle."
Uncle He was worried about Grandma He, so he said straight to the point, "Your grandmother sent a telegram asking me to go to Kyoto with your aunt. She didn't explain the reason, and I was worried that something might happen to her."
Xu Jiajia: "Grandma is doing well. She sent a telegram asking you to come to Kyoto because she found jobs for you. You work in a machinery factory, and your aunt works in a textile factory. You have to report as soon as possible."
Uncle He thought he would never have the chance to be a worker in his life, but when he gave up hope, he got good news: "Really?"
"It's true. Come here quickly and move your household registration together."
"Okay, okay, I'll go buy train tickets now."
"Let Liu Kui from the Public Security Bureau buy the tickets for you. His comrade-in-arms works in the Railway Bureau, so it's easier for him to buy tickets."
"Okay--"
Hang up the phone.
Uncle He was overjoyed. He rode the second-hand bicycle bought by He Tao.
His two feet stepped on the pedals, as if they were stepping on cotton, light and fluttering.
As soon as he entered the house, he told his wife the good news: "Wife, wife, I'm going to be a worker.
I just called Jiajia.
She said there are two jobs, one for me and one for my third brother's wife."
Second aunt was shocked and a little unbelievable: "Yes, is it true?"
Second uncle He smiled: "Of course it's true, Jiajia said the sooner the better, you go to the third room and tell the third brother's wife the good news."
Second aunt nodded: "Yes, yes, yes."
Second aunt came to the third room and told the third aunt the good news.
After hearing this, the third aunt almost jumped up with excitement. After calming down, she began to worry about the second and youngest children in the family: "Zhiyong and Zhixing are still studying. If I go, no one will take care of them. Let Zhiqiang go."
Third uncle He has three sons.
They are named He Zhiqiang, He Zhiyong, and He Zhixing.
The eldest is 20 years old, the youngest is 26 years old, and the youngest is 12 years old.
He Zhiqiang was 20 years old and still not married, but he found a partner who was from the same village. They were childhood sweethearts. The woman looked okay, but her family was too patriarchal. She had no opinion and believed whatever her parents said. They even asked for a high price for the bride price.
Although He Sanjiu was a worker, there were two students in his family. He also wanted to save money to buy a house, so he was very frugal in spending money.
When the woman asked for a high bride price, he almost jumped up and shouted that having a son was a loss-making thing. Not only would he have to spend money to build a house for them, but he would also have to spend money to marry them, and he might even have to spend money to raise grandchildren in the future.
After such a commotion.
He Zhiqiang didn't want to get married anymore.
He proposed to cancel the engagement.
The woman disagreed and even wanted to force He Zhiqiang to get married. Fortunately, He
Zhiqiang was not fooled.
Otherwise, if he married that woman, his family would never have peace.
The news that He Zhiqiang was going to Kyoto to work as a worker spread, and the woman blocked him on the road: "You are going to Kyoto?"
This matter could not be concealed, He Zhiqiang nodded and said: "Yes."
A trace of greed flashed through the woman's eyes, and then she grabbed He Zhiqiang's arm: "Let's get married, okay? I don't want a gift."
After getting married, she can take the job.
He Zhiqiang shook off the woman's hand: "When you chose your brother, I had already given up on you. Don't say such things in the future."
The woman's face froze, and she looked at He Zhiqiang with tears in her eyes: "I haven't broken off the engagement yet, and you are still my fiancé."
He Zhiqiang was unmoved, and even said coldly: "You don't want to break off the engagement. If you like to drag it out, just drag it out.
By the time you drag it out to an old maid, it will be harder than climbing to the sky to find a good partner.
I'm different from you.
I'm a man.
Men are older, but as long as they are diligent, they can still find a good partner."
The woman took this to heart, and she looked at He Zhiqiang with an ugly face: "Do you really want to break off the engagement with me?"
He Zhiqiang was very venomous: "If you don't break off the engagement, will you keep it for the New Year?"
The woman was so angry that she glared at He Zhiqiang with her hands on her hips: "You will regret it!"
He Zhiqiang: "Don't worry, even if I stay single for the rest of my life, I won't regret it."
He Zhiqiang on the first day of his trip to Kyoto.
Successfully broke off the engagement.
However, he lost fifty yuan.
…
Uncle He and Zhiqiang He had been to Kyoto before.
They were familiar with the route.
Arrived at the courtyard.
Uncle He knocked on the door.
Xiao Hei heard the knock and barked a few times.
The little fire fox also made a squeak, and even jumped onto the wall, looking down at the two strangers standing outside.
After confirming that the two were not dangerous people, he jumped down again and landed on the ground.
Old Mrs. Xu heard the knock and came out to open the door. When she opened it, she saw that it was Uncle He and Zhiqiang He, and immediately let them in.
Grandma He didn't see the third aunt, and she understood something instantly: "Is your mother not coming?"
He Zhiqiang nodded: "Yes, my mother said that there are two more children in the family who need to study, so they can't come, so let me come to work."
Grandma He thought of his girlfriend: "Where is your childhood sweetheart?"
He Zhiqiang: "The engagement was cancelled. When we first started dating, she was a nice person, but after a while, her fox tail was exposed. She wanted 500 yuan for the betrothal gift. In my hometown, a marriage is only 100 yuan at most. I don't know how she said it."
Grandma He guessed: "Maybe she thought your father was a worker in Kyoto and had money.
I told you before that the woman was not good. She listened to her parents too much.
If her parents had her in their hearts and cared about her, I would definitely not say anything.
But her parents only had her brother in their hearts, and she listened to her parents. If she really married that kind of person, she would be sick to death."
After the Chinese New Year.
That was 1977.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month.
Second Uncle He and He Zhiqiang went to the factory to report.
After completing all the formalities.
The two returned to the courtyard.
Uncle He still felt it was unreal: "Am I really a worker?"
Little Xingxing ran over and said in a baby voice: "Second uncle is a worker, second uncle wants to treat us, treat us, little Xingxing wants to eat fruit candy."
The third child Shen Jiayi ran over: "Little Yiyi wants to eat osmanthus cake."
The fourth child Shen Jiabo was not far behind: "I want to eat ice cream."
The fifth child Shen Jiahuai and the sixth child Shen Jiasi stood aside without saying anything, but their round eyes revealed everything.
Second Uncle He looked at the younger generations in the family, bubbling with happiness. He took out ten one-yuan bills and waved them: "Okay, Second Uncle Grandpa will treat us. All this money is for you."
The third child Shen Jiayi tilted her head to look at the one-yuan bill, thought for a moment, ran to the room, took out the storage box, and took out two one-yuan bills from it and gave them to Second Uncle He: "Little Yiyi has some too."
Second Uncle He took a breath when he saw the money in Shen Jiayi's box. My God, a child actually has more money than him. It was poverty that limited his imagination: "Jia Jia, Xiao Yiyi is so young, giving her so much money, aren't you afraid that she will lose it?"
