The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 10 Becoming a Regular Worker

The next day, at dawn, Chen Huaixi woke people up.

"Third brother, hurry up, don't waste time."

Chen Huaiyang opened his sore eyes and resisted the urge to curse, "Are you stupid? What time is it? Which leader would go out so early?"

He waved at the people and pulled the blanket to cover his head, "Don't bother me, or I'll quit."

Chen Huaixi was so excited that he couldn't sit still, but he didn't dare to call him.

It was not until Chen Huaiyang got up and leisurely finished his breakfast that he led Chen Huaixi, who looked excited, to the food factory.

When he walked into the factory, Chen Huai looked around with surprise in his eyes, "Third brother, this food factory is too big, you really should give me your workstation."

Thinking that I would soon become a formal employee, I couldn't hide the smile on my face.

Chen Huaiyang put his hands in his pockets and walked lazily, "If you don't want it, I'll take it reluctantly."

The smile on Chen Huaixi's face froze, and he quickly grabbed his arm and shook it, "Third brother, I love you so much, you are my best brother."

"I will send you money every month after I earn money, and I will make sure you never go hungry."

Chen Huaiyang snorted, too lazy to listen to the pie she described. Otherwise, he would starve to death and still be made up into a fantasy.

When he met Brother Wang, the other party readily arranged for Chen Huaixi to join the company. Soon, a heavy employment notice was placed in his hand.

This is what it means to have money to get things done!
Who will care about you if you have no money?

Whether you are my parents or not, they are still responsible for finding a job for you.

Chen Huaixi was so afraid of bursting it when he held it that he acted as if he was holding a treasure.

Isn’t it a treasure?
With a monthly salary of about ten yuan and various subsidies, it is like a stable job for a girl.

Seeing their dumbfounded looks, Chen Huaiyang rolled his eyes, followed Brother Wang in singing an official line, and then dragged them away.

Chen Huaixi hummed excitedly along the way, holding his cross-body burlap backpack, and chattered like a little sparrow, "Third brother, when did you become so eloquent?"

"The boss has a really good relationship with you, so he gave you the job right away."

After hearing this, Chen Huaiyang raised his hand and scratched her hair. With such an IQ, it was too embarrassing for her to be his sister.

"I have to buy you a pig brain to supplement your diet, otherwise you will be embarrassed when you go out."

Chen Huaixi refused to listen when he heard this, and immediately started chasing after them. The lively atmosphere also washed away his sadness of parting.

noon.

The two elders took lunch boxes home, filled them with dishes, placed them on the table, and had a makeshift lunch.

Although it is a vegetarian dish, at least it has some oil.

There was no staple food, and we could only eat sweet potato porridge cooked at home.

After eating, Chen Huaixi took out his employment form and said excitedly, "Mom and Dad, take a look. Starting tomorrow, I will also become a formal employee."

The two elders were amazed and hurriedly leaned over to watch. Father Chen's hands were shaking as he took the employment form. He looked at Chen Huaiyang and said, "Did you really do it?"

Chen Huaiyang raised his chin proudly, "Of course, I still have my merits!"

"This girl is so stupid, she doesn't have to follow me, it's all I can ask for."

"That messy place in the countryside is really not suitable for such a brainless person."

Chen Huaixi tried his best to hold back, "Third brother, since you helped me find a job, I won't bother with you." Chen Huaiyang laughed, "I'm really grateful."

The two elders looked at each other, with joy but also a hint of guilt in their eyes. They were not like Chen Huaixi, a little girl who knew nothing. This job must have cost a lot of money.

"Xiao Xi, clean up the dishes. I'm going to go out and buy something for your third brother."

"The quilt at home is a little thin, so I need to change it for a thicker one. I also need to bring two sets of clothes for replacement. These things need to be prepared as soon as possible."

Chen Huaiyang sat there leisurely and did not refuse. The food on the surface still had to be prepared by his family, which was to make some meat sauce, otherwise he was afraid he could not endure it.

At home, we can eat meat once or twice a month, but it’s hard to say in the countryside.

"I'll go out for a walk too."

He had to buy some meat and a watch, and he couldn't do that without knowing how to tell time.

Perhaps they were on the same page, Chen's father took off the watch on his wrist and pushed it to him with a look of pain on his face, "You can't tell the time without a watch, you put it on."

Chen Huaiyang's eyes almost popped out of his head. This watch was worth a lot of money! Chen's father was very sad when he bought it. He wore it for two years and protected it like a treasure.

Now you are willing to give it to him?
"Dad, this is your sweetheart, and you're just giving it to me like this?" He could feel the warmth from it when he held it in his hand. He put it on his hand properly, looked at it from left to right, and it looked pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it.

Father Chen looked at his curious look, and his heart almost bled. "You have to be more curious about it, it's expensive."

Chen Huaiyang chuckled, took off his watch, and then stuffed it into his hand, "A gentleman does not take away what others like. If you really love me, give me the cigarettes you hid!"

Father Chen glared at him angrily and glanced in the direction of the gate. After Mother Chen walked away, he took out the cigarettes he had secretly hidden.

Chen Huaiyang grabbed it in his hand and said, "Dad, does Mom know that you hid the cigarettes?"

Chen's father glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If it weren't so long and difficult, I wouldn't be willing to pay for it for you!" Chen's mother didn't like him smoking, so he had to do it secretly.

Chen Huaiyang was not polite at all and accepted it all, "Don't worry, I won't complain." He would definitely appreciate his father's kindness to him.

Chen Huaiyang didn't plan to buy a brand new watch, so he took cigarettes to bribe Brother Hei and asked him to find a semi-new one that could tell time after all. It would be a waste of money to spend too much.

"Brother Hei, find me a half-new watch. I'm also looking for some meat. I haven't had meat in days. I'll bring you five pounds of noodles."

Heige glanced at him and said, "5 jin of rice is about right."

Chen Huaiyang spread his hands and said, "I only have five kilograms of flour left, but I don't have any rice." Even if he had it, he would not be willing to give it away.

Heige was smoking a cigarette and was in high spirits, so he agreed, "Go for a walk and come back in half an hour."

Chen Huaiyang looked around and turned away.

When I came back, I bought a half-new Shanghai watch for 80 yuan. If it was a brand new one, it would cost several hundred yuan.

There are only two pounds of meat, which is a little but it’s okay.

Once you get what you want, leave decisively.

I guess I won't come back to this place again.

Fortunately, he was not a familiar face, so he was not afraid of being recognized.

When I got home, I was sweating all over. I took a shower after sweating and felt comfortable.

Mother Chen put the new things she had bought at home, changed her clothes, and hurried out again.

Chen Huaiyang glanced at the thick quilt and the sheets that had been piled up. He probably asked someone to prepare them long ago. His heart was warm. This was the warmth brought by family!
Now that he has the chance to start over, he must make his life better and better.
