Chapter 1970 Shocking news, Pengfei is in a dilemma
"Don't joke around. I'll ask for a day off from work for your mom tomorrow, and then I'll warn those gossipers in the factory. Your mom will take a few days off, and slowly no one will talk about it anymore~"

In this era, work means a stable job, so it’s no wonder that Song Ying thought Zhuang Tuxi was talking nonsense.

Don’t you see that Zhuang Hualin is willing to give everything he has so that Pengfei can return to Gusu, and he has even knelt down to Zhuang Ganmei’s family!

But she just couldn't bear to give up this iron rice bowl. She would rather earn more than 20 yuan a month and stay in Qianzhou Rural Health Center as a nurse. This shows how important the iron rice bowl is to people today.

Now Zhuang Tuxi suddenly said that he wanted his mother Huang Ling to apply for internal retirement. They both thought that this kid was crazy and talking nonsense.

To be honest, there are people in the factory who retire in their 40s, but that is to make room for their children. No one would leave if there was no other choice.

The Zhuang family has not reached this point yet. Zhuang Tunan is already in college, Zhuang Xiaoting is still young and will go to high school next year, and Huang Ling doesn't need to worry about Zhuang Tuxi, who has never thought about retiring early.

"Mom~" Zhuang Tuxi was a little helpless. "I'm serious!"

"The cotton mill is not doing well right now. I think it will be hard to pay salaries in the future. I might as well apply for retirement now!"

In other words, there is no concept of buying out seniority now, otherwise this would be the best option, and you can make some money before leaving.

Zhuang Tuxi used the poor performance of the cotton mill as a breakthrough point and kept persuading his mother Huang Ling. He also revealed a little about what he was doing now and made it clear that the family was not short of money and that he would cover all the tuition and miscellaneous fees for his eldest brother and younger sister in the future.

Although Huang Ling didn't want to retire so early, she also knew that her son was being filial to her. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so she could only turn her head and look at her best friend.

"You..." Song Ying's brain was a little confused. She felt something was wrong, but at the same time, it seemed to make sense.

His brain wasn't very good to begin with, and he was usually careless and seldom paid attention to Zhuang Tuxi. He never expected that this brat would be so promising and start doing business at such a young age.

Song Ying had sold scrap before, but she never expected that the scrap collection station was actually opened by him!
However, even though her brain doesn't work well, she still has a good habit, which is to ask her husband Lin Wufeng, who serves as her strongest external brain, when she is in doubt.

"Wu Feng, Wu Feng!" He suddenly stretched his neck and shouted loudly towards the next room.

"Come here quickly~"

"Mom, keep your voice down, I'm watching TV!" Lin Dongzhe, who was sitting on the bed watching TV, was dissatisfied.

"You little brat, you only know how to play!"

"Don't you know how to learn from your brother Tuxi?"

"I'll see what you'll do in the future..."

Song Ying felt like she had found a vent, so she went over and grabbed her son's ear and started scolding him. Huang Ling tried to stop him but couldn't.

As a result, when Lin Wufeng opened the door and came in, he saw his son being scolded by his mother. As a good man who puts his wife first, he still didn't know what was going on.

"Dongzhe, you little brat are being naughty again, aren't you?"

"Dad~" Lin Dongzhe felt a little aggrieved. He didn't know what he had done wrong. He was just watching TV when he was beaten up.

Didn’t Zhuang Xiaoting see it too?

Why beat him alone?

"I'll deal with you when I get home!" Song Ying glared at him and let go of his ear.

"Wu Feng, Tu Xi just wanted Sister Ling to retire early, saying that the factory's performance is not very good now, and maybe they won't be able to pay their salary in the future. This is simply impossible!"

"And you know how promising Tuxi is. He actually did business without telling anyone. The scrap collection station in South City is his. I've sold it to him secretly several times before!"

"Sister Ling is so lucky. It would be great if Lin Dongzhe could also make money. Then I could buy a lot of nice clothes and some vanishing cream..."

Song Ying began to dance as she spoke, her mind wandering and she had already fallen into fantasy. "Ahem!" Lin Wufeng couldn't stand it any longer, so he coughed lightly and signaled his wife to wipe her saliva.

"Uh..." Song Ying came back to her senses and wiped her mouth a little embarrassedly. After all, there were juniors here.

Worried, "Old Lin, will it be as Tuxi said?"

Lin Wufeng is from southern Fujian. People there are bolder and do business secretly during special times. He had noticed something a long time ago but never said anything. He looked at Zhuang Tuxi meaningfully.

"Although our factory's wages are fine now, the bonuses are basically gone. I heard that we used the compressors that couldn't be sold to exchange for some soy sauce, vinegar, etc. from the soy sauce factory next door to replace the bonuses!"

"Oh~" Song Ying sighed.

Zhuang Tuxi appealed to their emotions and reason, and used Aunt Song at the entrance of the alley as an example, saying that she lived a happy life and earned more than the workers without doing anything every day.

I strongly suggest that my mother retire and open a small shop or something.

"Mom, think about it carefully. There's no rush to go to work during this period. Ask Aunt Song to help you take a leave tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes, yes, don't go for now!" Song Ying said and glanced at Zhuang Tuxi. She wondered if this brat was using retirement as a cover, and actually just wanted Sister Ling to rest at home for a few more days?

Zhuang Tuxi just doesn’t have the ability to read minds, otherwise I would have to reply with “You’re overthinking it!”
Early retirement was too big a deal. Huang Ling's mind was a little confused for a moment, so she didn't insist on going back to work.

……

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Qianzhou, there is a small town at the foot of the mountains. It seems a little prosperous because there is a railway passing nearby. It is also the location of the county government.

Although Xiang Pengfei seems quite pitiful in the drama and has always been living under someone else's roof in Suzhou, his family is actually doing quite well locally.

My father Xiangdong is a railway maintenance worker. Although the work is tiring and the salary is not very high, at least he has a regular job and earns a salary, which is much better than those who make a living by working in the dirt.

His mother, Zhuang Hualin, worked in a health center. Her salary was not too high but it was decent. It was more than enough for the couple to support Xiang Pengfei.

The peaceful Xiang family felt a bit dull today.

"Alas~" Xiangdong, with his dark skin, looks older than his actual age. At the age of 40, his temples were already gray.

He smoked his pipe and sighed, then glanced at his son with deep emotion.

"This is life!"

"I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Finally, this year, Tunan was admitted to university. Then you could go back to Gusu to study. But why did your uncle and aunt get divorced?"

"Pengfei, why is your life so miserable?" Zhuang Hualin hugged his son and cried.

She felt extremely guilty because she was afraid that the policy would change, so she transferred her son's household registration early. The score line in Jiangnan is relatively high, so it has been delayed for a year. If he cannot return to Gusu, he is afraid that his chances of getting into university will be almost zero.

"Mom, then... then can I not go to Gusu?" Ever since Pengfei saw the outside world, he really wanted to get out of this mountain, but he felt sorry for his parents and was a little conflicted. Now he doesn't have to think too much about it.

"Son, you are still young. You don't know the difference between the mountains and the outside world~"

Xiang Pengfei is now in a dilemma. If he wants to go to college, he has to go back to Suzhou to study. The school will start in the third year of junior high school, which is the most critical step.

But now they can’t go back even if they want to, let alone Zhuang Ganmei’s family. If they go back, they will only bring humiliation upon themselves.

Originally, Zhuang Hualin was counting on his eldest brother, but he never expected that he would divorce his eldest sister-in-law.
