A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 192

As the Chinese New Year approaches, every household is thinking of ways to provide supplies for the New Year.

There is a small group of people who are not even qualified to stay at home to celebrate the New Year.

Mother Li was sharing the new news with her children at home.

"Let's just leave. Even though I signed up on my own initiative, I can't just kick her out without giving in every year."

When Li Xiang heard this, he stopped writing and asked, "Which company is it from this time?"

"The children of Mr. Wu's family in the courtyard across the alley were classmates with Xia'er."

"They are not classmates. They are one grade higher than me. They graduated from high school this year." Li Xia explained to everyone.

It has been half a year since this classmate graduated, but he still hasn't found a formal job and is working as a temporary worker in a candy factory.

I don’t know how I was brainwashed, saying that I could become official after just one trip, so I was determined to sign up.

The result was good, this batch happened to hit the mark, and they were let go as soon as they were registered, without even giving them any time to prepare.

Unlike the previous batch, we still have a month to prepare.

The eldest sister asked curiously: "Mom, where was he assigned?"

"Where was he assigned? He was assigned to the most remote place. I don't know what the street told the child to do, so he was assigned there." Mother Li felt like she was crying for the child just thinking about it. .

After Li Xiang heard this, he thought that this person was unlucky enough, and there was actually room for selection in the first few batches.

It is actually not difficult to find connections and be assigned to rural areas in this suburb.

"I read in the newspaper that this year alone, more than 30 urban educated youth will go to the countryside."

The eldest sister glanced at her eldest brother, who had expected this a long time ago.

Calculated according to the proportion of cities in the country, the number of 30 is not too much when spread across various places.

No matter how precise the classification is, there are only a few thousand people in a city.

From the time the country started calling, only two people in the steel rolling mill responded.

But two people in this area, three people in that area, can easily make up a few thousand.

Because I still take the initiative to sign up now, no one takes it seriously to this day.

When most people saw the figures in the newspapers, they just lamented that there were so many educated young people in the country.

Li Xiaodi is only in fifth grade this year, and he is still ignorant about going to the countryside. He thinks it is like going to his uncle's house in the countryside and that he can come back and forth in one day.

He even said stupidly: "If I can't come back that day, I'll just stay in the countryside for a few more days."

Although Li's mother and eldest sister laughed at his silly words, they never thought how long he would stay. They thought it was only temporary and that he would be back in a year and a half at most.

Only Li wants to know the truth, and he may no longer be young when he returns.

He estimates that by the second half of next year at the latest, quotas will be allocated, rather than relying on individual subjective enthusiasm to sign up like now.

Mother Li looked at the steaming cup in Little Brother Li's hand and suddenly sighed:

"Hey~ I said I had to take the train for several days, and I left in a hurry. For someone who has never traveled far, I don't know what to prepare. It's freezing cold, and I don't know if I can eat anything. Delicious hot meal.”

"If you don't have everything ready, I should give you money to buy locally." The eldest sister said uncertainly.

Then I thought about it and felt that something was wrong. This classmate's family probably wasn't very well-off.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be still working as a temporary worker and choose this path just to get a permanent job.

"You guys, please be careful out there. I've never heard of it here that you can become a regular employee after just one visit." Li Xiang reminded his family.

These words made Li's mother and eldest sister tremble, a little surprised.

At this point, I still don’t understand Li Xiang’s subtext. The children of Wu Laosi’s family are afraid that they have been deceived. The mother and daughter quickly grabbed Li Xiang to confirm the authenticity of this matter again and again. Where could there be any news about this matter?

I heard this news more than once. This was said in my eldest sister’s school and in Li’s mother’s workplace.

Just as the Li family was talking about where this news had spread, He Yuzhu also came over with his wife and sister.

Come, my hands are not empty either.

He Yuzhu was carrying a few clean beef bones.

He said truthfully: "There's not much meat. It's okay to stew some soup and sip it."

Li Xiang smiled and said: "Brother Zhuzi, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

"Hey~ When you ask for help, you have to have a begging attitude." He Yuzhu sat down loudly, saying that he was asking for help, but his attitude was very comfortable.

Li didn't even think about it and asked him to tell him what was going on.

At this point, if it can be done, he will do it; if it can't be done, just say it can't be done.

Now that the He family has a reasonably sensible person, they are not afraid of their petty overthinking.

"Isn't Yu Yu's job still a temporary job? I've heard from outside that if you take the initiative to sign up, you can be offered a permanent position when you come back."

"I heard it from outside. Which outsider?" If someone else came to ask about this news, Li Xiang wouldn't think there was a problem.

But He Yuzhu often made small mistakes for the leaders of the factory. He ignored the lack of information and regarded fake news as truth.

How did this person use the resources at his disposal like this?

"I heard what the workers in the factory said about rainwater, and the factory also said the same thing about rainwater." He Yuzhu pointed to rainwater to support his statement.

"Worker? I don't know how many times the news has reached the workers' ears, and how many times it has changed. Thank you for having the nerve to tell me." Li Xiang couldn't help but glared at him.

He Yuzhu wanted to say something more, but his wife tugged his clothes under the table, and he was immediately stopped.

Sister Tang asked: "Brother Li Xiang, do you mean that this is all fake news?"

Li Xiang could criticize He Yuzhu, but he still had to be polite to his family members, who were women.

After all, they are considered relatives.

His tone became normal now.

“Such major news like this will basically come out of nowhere and cannot be true if major units do not hold meetings and post announcements to explain it.”

When Li Xiang said this, the He family felt confident.

The hot news circulating outside is probably false.

Li's mother interrupted at this time: "A while ago, Yu Yu's job was said to be full-time, so why are you thinking about it now?"

When it comes to this, He Yuyu, who has been silent all this time, has something to say.

"It was clearly agreed that I would be the one to be promoted to full-time position, but when things came to a head, they said that I had no part in it. If I hadn't still had some sense, I would have almost turned the table over."

"Ah~ Then it won't happen this year!" The eldest sister felt sorry for Sister Yuyu. She still remembered how happy she was when she heard Sister Yuyu say that she could become a full-time employee a while ago.

He Yuzhu twisted his head, and a word that made no sense came out.

"It's our He family's fault. We don't have the fate to have good things come in pairs."

What he said did not mention the expressions of Sister Tang and He Yuyu.

Several members of the Li family had black lines on their foreheads after hearing this.
