Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 125 Xu Damao’s Wedding Banquet
After talking with the third uncle, it was decided that the third uncle would go to the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, and the third aunt would go to confirm the job first and take sick leave after the household registration was transferred. Yang Shuwen would go to the canteen management department under the logistics department of the steel rolling mill.

After everyone finished eating and the third uncle's family had taken a rest, Yang Shuning and Yang's mother chatted about the arrangements between the third aunt and Liu Fang.

"Mom, now that the third aunt is here, should we continue to ask Sister Fang for help? If not, I think we can also arrange a job for her."

"Sister Fang's family has always done their best for our family. Since we have to arrange work for Uncle San's family, let's arrange it for her by the way. Not only is it our neighbor's friendship for so many years, but it is also a thank you for her help during this time. What do you think?"

Mother Yang nodded, smiled, and said:

"Xiaofang is good. Before she came to help, we could just arrange a job for her as a cleaner. But now that your third aunt is willing to help with the children, she should explain something to Xiaofang, otherwise it will appear that our family is unkind. .”

"It's a pity that Xiaofang has no education. She just graduated from junior high school and is not suitable for many jobs. Where do you think she should be placed?"

Yang Shuning also became distressed after hearing what her mother said. Although culture does not represent everything, without culture, she cannot adapt to many jobs, and her future development space will be relatively small. Moreover, Sister Fang said she is not old, she got married at the age of 18, and she still has it now. At the age of 33, my thinking has begun to solidify and my learning ability has begun to decline, but it is difficult to arrange it.

Yang Shuning was so troubled that she was about to reach out for the teacup. When she raised her head, she saw Wang Xue holding a small watermelon next to her.

"Mom, Xue'er, what do you think about letting Sister Fang become a childcare worker? You see, Sister Fang not only gave birth to the two brothers who gave birth to children, but she is also very good at taking care of the little watermelon. She is very suitable for the job of a childcare worker. "

"And the lowest nine-level childcare worker can earn 23 yuan a month. I think with Sister Fang's ability, setting a level of 7 should not be a problem, and then she can earn 28 yuan a month."

"In addition to Brother Shitou's 18 yuan, that's 43 yuan a month, which is the same as the income of a third-level mechanic worker in a steel rolling mill. It will be enough for their future lives. What do you think?"

Wang Xue said without waiting for Mother Yang to speak first:
"Husband, you have a good idea. Sister Fang really cares about raising children. She is very suitable to be a childcare provider."

Mother Yang also nodded,
"Yes, you can talk to Xiaofang tomorrow. I think she should be willing. Let her arrange her current job as a cleaner. It will also give her an income."

Yang Shuning solved Liu Fang's matter and talked with her mother about her third aunt's work.

"Mom, where do you think the third aunt's work will be arranged?"

Mother Yang began to think deeply, and her right fingers began to tap the armrest of the sofa unconsciously. After thinking for a long time, she said:
"It's better to come to the supply and marketing cooperative and become a worker in the supply and marketing cooperative's union. Just like everyone else in the union, you can get a free salary. As long as I am still here, she can continue to work. But that's it. The income is not high, only 27 yuan a month!”

At this time Wang Xue said:

"Mom, third aunt will help take care of the children in the future. Just 21 yuan. If third uncle's family feels that it is not enough to survive, can't we subsidize it more?"

Yang Shuning smiled and felt that the third uncle and the third aunt would not ask for this subsidy. If they asked for this subsidy, they would probably be embarrassed and the family relationship would change.If others didn't tell her, they would just say that Anjie's sister-in-law took care of the five children of the Jiang family, and they didn't say anything about providing subsidies.

"It's late. Go to sleep and go run things with your third uncle's family next week."

Mother Yang also felt a little sleepy, nodded and said:
"Well, I will go to your Aunt Wang's place tomorrow to finalize the matter for your third uncle." Yang Shuning took Wang Xue and Xiao Xigua back to the room to sleep. After waking up the next day, he looked at Xu's father and Xu's mother in the front yard. After walking in and out, I realized that Xu Damao was getting married today.

Xu Damao came over on Thursday to inform him that today, Sunday, was a good day for Xu Damao to get married.

When Xu Damao came to invite before, he said that the wedding banquet would be held in the courtyard, and invited Yang Shuning's family to go. The day before yesterday, I also heard that Xu Damao was planning to host three tables.

Since the wedding banquet was held at Xu Damao's house, which was the backyard of the courtyard, it would be inappropriate for Yang Shuning's whole family to go out. The other neighbors were all heads of households, so it would be too conspicuous for Yang Shuning's whole family to go.

Neighbors who had only a moderate relationship with Yang Shuning's family might not say anything when they saw it, but they would always react with resentment in their hearts.And there is no shortage of food like this at home. Maybe the food at the wedding banquet might not be as good as the food at Yang Shuning's house.

While having breakfast in the east wing, Mother Yang had the same idea as Yang Shuning and said:
"Xu Damao is getting married in the backyard today. Although they asked our whole family to go there, I don't think it's appropriate. Ning'er, you can just go there later."

"Chen'er will take me to your Aunt Wang's place later. Since there's a chariot sitting there, I'm too lazy to ride a bicycle."

"Third brother, you will go too later. After all, you will work in the street office in the future, and you need to get to know him."

After breakfast, Yang's mother left with Yang Shuchen and her third uncle. First, she went to Yang Shuchen's house to get two quilts, ready to be used as Xu Damao's wedding gift.

Xu Damao was generous when Yang Shuning and Yang Shuchen got married, although Yang Shuning confiscated the gifts from his neighbors when they got married.This time he got married himself, but Yang Shuning couldn't take too much money as a gift.

The reason is very simple. When Yang Shuning and Yang Shuchen got married, there were congratulatory gifts from their elders and leaders. Although Xu Damao gave them many gifts, they were inconspicuous.

But when Xu Damao got married, there were no high-level leaders around. The neighbors in the courtyard were the main ones. Others paid only fifty cents, or even two or three cents. Yang Shuning offered a few cents. This was not a slap in the faces of the neighbors.

So it's better to get the quilt. The quilt is valuable, but it's not directly money. It can repay Xu Damao's gift without looking inconspicuous.

Yang Shuning carried two packed quilts in his left and right hands, walked to the backyard, put the quilts on the favor table, and said specifically to the third uncle who was keeping the accounts:
"Teacher Yan, this is a favor between me and my brother. Each person has one quilt. Just remember it and don't yell."

The third uncle is also a human spirit. When Yang Shuning asked him not to yell, he knew what Yang Shuning meant. He nodded and wrote down the quilts of Yang Shuning and Yang Shuchen in the book of favors.

He also gave Yang Shuning two large Qianmen cigarettes as wedding cigarettes, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts for him.

At this time, Xu Damao was no longer in the courtyard. It seemed that he went to pick up the bride with Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng.The bride and her family are staying in the guest house of the steel rolling mill. They can't really go to the countryside to pick up the bride. In that case, the wedding banquet will have to be moved to the evening.

As for Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng, it seems that they are about to become professionals in marriage arrangement.
