Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 409 The third uncle’s family has something to do

"Then what if this day really happens?"

Xia Yuhong is still very concerned about her little sister's affairs, especially since Zhu Xuefeng will never open his mouth to talk nonsense. Since he has such a judgment, although it is unreliable, Xia Yuhong is still a little worried.

"What else can we do? I'll figure it out later."

Zhu Xuefeng had three plans in mind, but he didn't want to talk about them now. There were some things he didn't want his younger brothers and sisters to know too early.

"You are a dead person. There is no way you can make a hasty decision like this and let your little sister go to high school. How can you be the big brother?"

Xia Yuhong was unhappy. In her opinion, the worst she could do was get a Xiangjiang identity and go to school in Xiangjiang. She was inexplicably helped by her partner to get a Xiangjiang identity, and it was not natural to get one for her younger siblings.

Zhu Xuefeng glanced at Xia Yuhong vaguely, and Xia Yuhong realized something and quickly stopped talking and stopped holding on. Lin Na looked at the two of them thoughtfully, but was speechless.

Zhu Xuefeng touched his sister's head again, "Little sister, originally the elder brother wanted you to go to a technical secondary school first, and then find a chance to go to college later. Now that you have decided, the elder brother will help you find a way. If such a day comes, you have to Listen to big brother, don’t be willful when the time comes, you know.”

The younger sister held her elder brother's hand obediently and nodded.

Yan Jiecheng nodded and had been looking forward to this day for a long time, but why was his father so generous today and directly agreed to live alone.

"It's all up to my parents. I'm young and don't think things through."

Yan Jiecheng took a small book and looked through it. There were really a lot of things to do before getting married. That is to say, Yu Li's family liked her "scholarly family background" and worked in a steel rolling mill, so they didn't make any excessive demands.

The third uncle nodded, "It's not easy to raise you all, especially you. Now thanks to Xiao Zhu, you have also become a regular employee. As I said last time, you have to pay for it in about three years. You haven't done this yet." Forget it.”

Yan Jiecheng was secretly grateful in his heart. Although his father was tight on money, his feelings for him were still sincere. No wonder his father had four children to raise. If he didn't tighten his grip on his brother and sister, it would be a problem to support them.

"Your mother and I have also calculated it. There are many things to buy for both young and old. As the eldest brother of the family, we must help you get married. You have to give us a ride, right? You have this matter. No idea."

Opposite the third uncle's house, several people were sitting around. The third uncle took out a small book and handed it to Yan Jiecheng.

Lao Zhu's family still has a recruitment quota. The second child looked at the eldest brother excitedly. Yes, this is a good method. The younger sister finally does not have to take root in a foreign land. Just now, when the eldest brother said that he might never come back, he felt uncomfortable. Why did it happen? My little sister is a baby.

"Boss, I have finally finished the house matter for you. You still lack a lot for this important matter. Look at this. You have to prepare for it. I have written down everything for you. You can do it yourself. Check it out too."

Yan Jiecheng stayed with Smiley Face. Without the help of his parents, this matter would have been impossible and would not have been possible.

Yan Jiecheng was a little puzzled. He couldn't handle all this by himself. He had no money in his pocket and still owed his family more than two years' salary.

"It's still early, let me hear what you say first."

Speaking of this, Yan Jiecheng felt a little aggrieved, but this was already agreed upon, so he nodded helplessly.

"Okay, that's it for now, everyone should keep their mouths shut..."

"You know what's going on at home even if I don't tell you. There are three of you below. If you're married, you can live alone. Anyway, the house is across the street. You two will make your own decisions when the time comes."

Yan Jiecheng was too cautious and didn't dare to take the order. He just felt a little uneasy. According to his understanding, his father must have something going on later.

The third uncle looked at his eldest son, pushed up his glasses frame, and said seriously.

"Dad, show me what this means?"

"Brother, are you in trouble? Why don't I take the technical secondary school exam first?"

Zhu Xuefeng now figured it out. What's the big deal? There are several escape routes.

"Forget it, let's go to high school first. We'll see when the time comes. If it doesn't work out, let's go to work in the steel rolling mill first. As long as we don't delay our studies, my eldest brother will guarantee you that you will go to this university."

"Remember, it's due in thirty-one months."

When the third uncle saw his eldest son admitting his fault, he didn't say much about this matter. "Now that you want to start a family and start a business, do you have to help these three younger brothers and sisters? Let them be like you. We will treat everyone equally and they will all finish high school. Of course." Looking for a job is the same as yours, we can help you in any way we can.”

The three little ones listened and thought it was great. The family would also help them find jobs with money. When they got married, they would be like their elder brothers and could move out. It made them happy just thinking about it.

"Then how can I help them? I'll cover their living and study expenses?"

Yan Jiecheng was a little panicked. If this was really the case, how could he afford it? Yu Li didn't have a job either. This was too much to ask for, and he felt a little blushing and thick-necked for a while.

The third uncle glanced at the boss with contempt and said unhurriedly.

"It would be best if you have this ability. It will save your mother and I from having to work around. We are about to start a family. We don't know how much we weigh. How can you support this family for you?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he quickly got off the donkey and said, "Of course my son doesn't have this ability. He has to rely on his parents. You can tell me how I can help them."

If he didn't agree on this matter, Yan Jiecheng wouldn't even be in the mood for a happy event. Who would have known that this old man would be waiting for him there.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's impatient look, the third uncle sighed secretly, "Three younger brothers and sisters, each of you will receive a subsidy of two yuan every month. Let's make it this way."

Seeing the confused look on the eldest son's face, he explained, "The second child is sixteen this year. There are still two years to go. The third child is already fourteen. There are still four years left. The fourth child is only 144. There are still six years left. Your mother and I will calculate it." However, if you add up to more yuan, it will be over, and you won’t have to worry about finding a job or getting married.”

Yan Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay, now that he has become a full-time employee, the miscellaneous things add up to 21.5 per month. This is less than seven months' salary, and he can accept it even if he grits his teeth.

Yan Jiecheng knew that the money would definitely have to be spent. Besides, he was at work, so it was only natural to help his younger brothers and sisters. He said it proudly without saying anything.

"Dad, what you said makes sense. I accept the money. If my younger brothers and sisters want to go to school, I, as the eldest brother, must support them." Seeing that the eldest brother agreed easily, the third uncle was also very happy and looked at the third aunt proudly. The third aunt didn't react at all, and was still thinking about how to make it clear.

"Okay, let's talk about the big things you're doing now. You saw it just now. Your mother and I checked it out. All these things are done inside and out, including buying things, making furniture, and doing errands, plus giving it to the woman. , Lin Lin Zongzong received almost two hundred and forty-six yuan and eight cents."

Yan Jiecheng nodded, everything was listed clearly, and there is a summary below. It is true that this number is needed to decorate a new house. There are indeed a lot of things to add inside and outside. There is no need to think about the three turns and one beep. Just these three It costs over 600 to turn around, and I don’t know where to get the tickets.

But this time, my father also spent a lot of money and bought two watches for the two of them, which cost more than two hundred. Although the others were not valuable, they cost dozens of dollars. This time, the old couple spent a lot of money, and they felt in their hearts. Also full of gratitude.

"Mom, Dad, I've written it down. You two have really worked hard for me. My son will definitely be filial to you in the future and help bring up his younger brothers and sisters."

The three younger ones were listening, feeling very distressed. The eldest brother had to find a job and start a family. The family had to dig out everything. Although the eldest brother promised to help him in the future, when it was his turn, could the family still help him like this?

"Okay, the boss should behave like a boss and set an example for the younger brothers and sisters. I will make it clear about the money and we will pay it first. But you also know that the family has such a foundation. It will not be easy to put it together. You and I Mom has to go outside and borrow some."

Yan Jiecheng knew that his two major events had indeed caused a lot of trouble for the two elders. The old man was the only one in the family who took the salary to support a family of six. It was really difficult to spend so much money twice.

"Dad, I didn't say anything. I will work hard in the future and strive to advance to a few more levels. We will definitely get better and better from now on."

The third uncle nodded, seeming to appreciate the boss's initiative.

"Money, your mother and I will come up with a solution. However, you also know that if all four of you brothers and sisters are like this, even if we sell the two of us, we won't be able to make up the amount. Therefore, this rule must be established to beat you, the boss."

The third uncle said word by word. Yan Jiecheng felt a little weak and wanted to set rules again?

"From now on, they will do the same thing as you, and pay half of it themselves. Otherwise, if your younger brothers and sisters can't do anything in the future, they will all remember you and hate you. Boss, please tell me if this is true."

Yan Jiecheng's heart felt cold. He still owed his family dozens of months' wages, and it seemed that he would have to pay more when he got married.

"Why don't I buy these two watches? I can save more than 200, which is the big deal. This way I don't have to buy them anymore and my family can save a little."

Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and proposed. The woman's family didn't ask for anything, but Yu Li wanted a watch. So he gritted his teeth and prepared to buy two watches. The bride couldn't have one and the groom didn't.

If he didn't have a watch, it would only cost him a few dozen yuan, and he wouldn't have to pay for it. Although he really wanted to have a watch, the heavy debt made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

At that time, I went to Lao Zhu's house to borrow the key to look at the house. There were two beautiful students inside, each with a watch. Yu Li couldn't move her eyes away, so she voluntarily gave up other requests and just wanted to get a watch.

Although my parents strongly disapproved of it, my mother still did my father's job. She couldn't afford it after three turns and one ring. There had to be something. In addition, other requirements were removed, so my father reluctantly agreed. Now Yan Jiecheng also cares about it. Incredible.

"There is no need to show off. You have agreed that you will do Yu Li's work and don't make trouble again. It seems that our family is quite stingy, but I agreed."

Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and said, "No, I will buy it later when I have money. With the conditions at home, we have to be considerate of you. You were confused before."

The third uncle already had a smile on his lips. He felt much more relaxed now and said with a smile.

"Boss is still considerate of the family. The three of you should learn from your eldest brother and don't compare yourself with others. Whether your life is good or not, it doesn't matter what others say. Only you know."

"However, if you don't want to buy this watch, we will still only pay half, and you will pay for the remaining half yourself. It is still the old method, I will make up the whole for you, and you can just pay twenty-one."

The third child was calculating on the side. This way, the eldest brother seemed to have lost money. He had to pay more than 100 yuan less, but he was missing two watches.

Yan Jiecheng choked in his heart. He had to pay half of such a small amount of money himself, which was another month's salary.

"Okay, let's do it like this. Mom and dad, please worry about it. I'll go find Yu Li and do some ideological work for her."

Yan Jiecheng didn't know how he left home, and he didn't know what would be waiting for him if he hadn't left. Fortunately, he got the house this time. Although it didn't count as a separation, the young couple opened fire on their own, which was considered a separation, and they never had to do it again. Look at your parents’ faces.

"Old man, are we too hasty? The boss ran away before we even mentioned the cost of living together."

The third aunt sent the three children away and came back and whispered.

The third uncle said with a smile.

"He has paid his salary, so how can he have money to eat and fire? Sooner or later he has to come back to join the team. It won't be too late to talk about it then. I didn't expect the boss to be so loud. He said he didn't want the two watches and he didn't want them. He will do the work himself. I This saves trouble. I wasn’t happy with it at the time, but you two just didn’t agree. Now, it’s fine.”

"I'm not worried about this. We are from a scholarly family after all. Isn't it reasonable to not prepare anything for three turns and one ring? Forget about sewing machines and radios. The two of us must have something. Besides, the children have gone to work, and they are indeed short of a watch. , or make people laugh when you don’t do things.”

The third uncle was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and whispered, "That's really what happened. Tell me, the two of them didn't do anything too shabby. It would really make people laugh. Our family can't hold its head high in the yard. After all, I am also the third uncle.”

"Well, didn't the Fourth Brother say that Xiaomei across the street has a new women's watch, and I can borrow it when the time comes. It's a pity that my watch is a second-hand watch and I can't get it, so I have to find someone to borrow one."

"Is this okay? It doesn't matter whether Xiaomei borrows it or not. This watch is on Yu Li's wrist. It's hard to say whether she can get it back or not."

The third aunt didn't have much confidence in targeting her daughter-in-law and couldn't figure out Yu Li's thoughts. If Yu Li didn't want to return the favor, the joke would be a big one.

The third uncle grinned and said, "You haven't seen through this kid, but I think he is a sensible person. This is to save face for them. If this makes trouble, they will be the ones who lose face. Don't worry, you don't know others. You Son, you haven’t figured it out yet. It’s just him. Even if he dares not to return the favor, Xiao Zhu is not someone to be trifled with.”

Zhu Xuefeng didn't know that someone had an idea for his little sister. He was accompanying the two of them back to school. They couldn't stay out overnight.

"You are right, that is just a retreat. If possible, I don't want to go to that step. Remember, no matter what happens in the future, our nationality will not change."

The two girls talked about their younger sister's studies again on the road, and this time they directly asked why they couldn't go to college in Xiangjiang.

"No matter where she goes to college in the future, or even if she studies abroad, her roots are in this land, and so are we. I do this just because I have some wishes. No matter how big the family's property is in the future, I will definitely keep it. You guys Agree."
