Age: My Small World

Chapter 578 A Surprise from the Capital

"Director, isn't this against the rules?"

In the department store, Li Gang's office door was pushed open and the person who came in was Fu Hongying, the station manager of the clothing station, who was responsible for coordinating all clothing materials.

"Hongying, I've told you so many times, remember to knock on the door when you come in."

Li Gang frowned, but was not angry, because Fu Hongying's cousin was his wife.

"Brother-in-law, why has the matter I told you last time been dragged on? Now, the quota has been given to an outsider. You must give me an explanation today."

Fu Hongying looked very unhappy. She had mentioned last time that she wanted to get a job for her niece in her hometown, but Li Gang kept dragging his feet and ended up giving it to an outsider. She couldn't help but be angry.

"Li Gang, why don't you say something!" Fu Hongying frowned and didn't give Li Gang much face at all.

Li Gang couldn't help but squint his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. He swallowed back his anger and then said helplessly, "Hongying, I've told you countless times that how to employ people is the organization's decision. I have no right to interfere, and it's certainly not your place to ask. If I can just assign people and give out jobs casually, then what's the point of this job? Ultimately, we're working for the people. Don't go too far with anything."

"I think you just don't want to help. You're such a softie. I'm going to go find my cousin tonight and ask her to divorce you. If you, Li Gang, are really capable, go and serve your people well."

Fu Hongying slammed the door and left, leaving Li Gang with a livid face.

"Hmph!" He slammed the table hard, and finally sighed deeply.

Before Yang Jun's envelope arrived, the telegram he sent arrived first.

Fanjiazhuang.

"Yumei, there's a letter from your family!"

Uncle Fan Qi, who had just returned from the city, shouted at the edge of the field.

"Hey, hey, hey, Uncle Seven, I'm coming right away."

Yang Yumei immediately put down her hoe and hurried over to Uncle Fan.

"Seventh Uncle, who sent the letter?"

She wiped her hands on her clothes before taking the paper.

Although Yang Yumei did not have a high level of education, she had attended elementary school and could read and write.

"Who else could it be? Xiaoshan." Uncle Fan smiled and then knocked on it with his pipe.

"Okay, just watch and tell your mother later."

"Thank you, Uncle Seven."

After Yang Yumei thanked him sincerely, she opened the paper and started reading.

Because telegrams are expensive, few people type a lot of words.

One word costs about five cents, and if there are ten words, it would be fifty cents. Unless it is a critical moment, no one would be willing to spend so much money. Sending a letter is much cheaper, only one cent per letter.

But Yang Jun didn't care about these things, so he directly wrote a few dozen words to Yang Yumei, explaining the general meaning first. The specific content would only be fully understood after the letter arrived.

Even so, Yang Yumei understood one thing: Xiaoshan had found her a job in Beijing.

In an instant, a flower-like smile bloomed on her face. She couldn't contain her surprise and even wanted to shout out loud, but she held it back.

Then, she hugged the feather-light piece of paper tightly and ran to the field.

The joyful mood needs to be shared, and Yang Yumei naturally told Li Xiaohua the news as soon as possible.

"Mom!" she shouted from a distance.

Li Xiaohua, who was weeding the ground with a hoe, looked up when she heard the sound.

"What's wrong, Erniu? Who sent the letter?"

I didn’t care too much about it, I already had the answer in my mind.

Apart from Yang Jun, no one else would send letters home.

"It was a telegram from Xiaoshan."

"What about the telegram? This kid is really something. He can just write a letter, but he insists on sending a telegram. That's so expensive."

Even though she had saved a lot of money, Li Xiaohua still wanted to save some. "Mom, I'll tell you when I get home."

Yang Yumei looked mysterious and her eyes were rolling around, which immediately attracted Li Xiaohua's attention.

She lowered her voice and asked, "What's going on?"

After thinking about it, he stopped and waved his hand, saying, "Go home first."

So they stopped working and went home first.

Seeing the mother and daughter like this, the women nearby started nagging.

"What happened to Xiaohua and the others? Why are they going home so early today? Don't they want the work points?"

"I just heard that Xiaoshan came back with a letter. I wonder if this kid is in some trouble."

There are not only good people in the village. Seeing that the Yang family is living a prosperous life, there are also some people who are jealous. Look, they are already cursing them in their hearts.

"Don't talk nonsense. We watched Xiaoshan grow up. He's honest and well behaved. What kind of trouble could he possibly cause?"

Everyone speculated that Li Xiaohua and Yang Yumei had already returned home.

"Go ahead." I said directly.

Yang Yumei quickly closed the door, then opened the paper and handed it over.

"I can't understand it even if you explain it to me." Li Xiaohua said speechlessly.

"Tell me what you wrote."

Yang Yumei scratched her head and chuckled, "Mom, Xiaoshan found me a job in Beijing."

"What? What!"

The old lady suddenly exclaimed.

Then she looked outside carefully again and quickly pulled Yang Yumei into the house.

"Let's talk about this inside and don't let anyone hear us."

When there is such good news, most people can't wait to share it with others, but Li Xiaohua is worried that others will ask all kinds of questions.

First of all, we need to understand the nature of this job to make sure Yang Jun didn't cheat someone out of it.

"Xiaoshan just said he found a job for me. As for what kind of job, I guess I'll have to wait for his letter to find out. He also said that the employment notice will be sent along with it, so I should be prepared by then."

"What preparations do you need?" I felt relieved when I heard there was a notice.

"Xiaoshan said that he wants mother to go to the capital with him. Then the house will be empty."

"I'm going too? No way."

Li Xiaohua immediately waved her hands. She had become accustomed to life in the countryside, and suddenly she ran to the city, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

If you have been digging the soil all your life and suddenly stop working, you will feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, if you really stay there for a short period of time and find new friends, things might get a lot better.

"That's what Xiaoshan said. Why don't we wait until his letter arrives before we decide?"

Yang Yumei also knew that her mother would definitely not be willing to leave, but she knew even more clearly that Xiaoshan's decision was more important than this. When the time came, her mother would definitely listen to Xiaoshan and would have no choice but to go.

She guessed correctly. Yang Jun used the content of a very long letter to persuade my mother, and when it was sent to me, Yang Yumei would be able to read it for half an hour.

On the other hand, Yang Jun was naturally thinking about where his mother and the others would live.

The department store is near Wangfujing, and his company's apartment is also there, so maybe I can live there.

And my second sister will definitely be arranged a unit here, so she won’t need a place to live.

Of course, a well-organized family is the best.
