Chapter 590: Is it that serious?
"It's Baixiang again. Didn't she rent Lu Cheng's renovated house? Just let her live on her own after she moves out. You can just worry about cooking. I still have to earn work points."
Zhang Guimei said with a nervous look on her face, wishing she could drag Chen Guifu over and make him work right away.
But Chen Guifu said: "You don't understand, Baixiang is my sister, I have to plan a marriage for her, this is a big thing, it's better for me to worry about it myself."
"You're worrying about her, don't you want to think about our family affairs?"
Zhang Guimei said angrily, “Look, Chen Liang and your own son, he has less and less work to build houses now, and we don’t have many food coupons left at home;
You should ask someone to invite Lu Cheng to come home."
"What does this have to do with Ercheng?"
"Ercheng, Ercheng, you're calling me so affectionately, but your life is unbearable. Why don't you tell him about it?"
Lu Cheng happened to be coming to the old village chief's house to invite Chen Liang to go to Jianlin Farm to work as a bricklayer with Guo Zhenjiang. When he arrived at the door, he met the old village chief's eyes!
"Old village chief, Uncle Chen, are you having difficulties in life? Why didn't you tell me?"
Chen Guifu swallowed his saliva and said, "That's not true. Don't listen to what your aunt says."
Zhang Guimei immediately said, "Ercheng, ask him carefully. He is just being stubborn! He doesn't dare to say it in front of you."
Chen Guifu immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. Ercheng is very busy every day and has no time to listen to your family matters."
Zhang Guimei burst into tears: "Ercheng, please ask about our family's situation. Your uncle Chen is really not good at asking for favors. He has been a village chief his whole life, and he thinks he is pretty good!"
Lu Cheng said, "Mrs. Zhang, I came here today to invite my elder brother Liang to Jianlin Farm. If his skills are good enough, he can work on the farm for a long time."
Chen Guifu said with a smile on his face: "How can I be so embarrassed?"
"Uncle Chen, if you have anything to say, just tell me. We are not outsiders!"
Chen Guifu said with a smile on his face: "Your elder brother Liang is a man of few words and not very good at coaxing people. Just let him work hard at Jianlin Farm. As for talking, try to say less and make fewer mistakes."
"Uncle Chen, don't worry. My elder brother Liang Yu and I have discussed this before. I learned that he just expressed it by habit. He built my house very well. I am very satisfied with it. So, you can ask elder brother Liang Yu to come to Jianlin Farm before 8 o'clock tomorrow and I will take him in."
"Hey, okay."
"Okay, I'll go back then."
Lu Cheng didn't stay long and turned and left.
Zhang Guimei said excitedly: "This is really great. Our son will have a job again in the future."
Chen Guifu said immediately, "You really are such a fool. Ercheng finally came here, but you insisted on talking about his son's job. This really puts Ercheng in a difficult position."
"I'm not sure whether Ercheng is difficult or not, but our family has finally made some progress. Otherwise, Liang and Yu have been going further and further apart these days, but the wages they earn are getting less and less."
Chen Guifu said immediately: "You are such a fool. You just can't stand the slightest hardship. It's not like you can't make ends meet. Why do you have to ask Ercheng to find a job for Liangyu to make you happy?"
Zhang Guimei said nervously, "Look, this Ercheng is the head of the security department at Jianlin Farm. If he lets us get in earlier, our family will get some financial support.
Ever since you retired as village chief, your family's savings have been spent. Don't you have to earn some living expenses?
If Liang Yu enters Jianlin Farm, it would be considered as a 20% return of your favor, right?"
"You old woman, you are always at a disadvantage, I am too lazy to talk to you!"
Chen Guifu walked into the house slightly angrily.
But after entering, his eyes turned slightly red.
He was too embarrassed to ask for help.
However, Zhang Guimei was right about one thing. The family used to be supported by his salary, but after he retired, Chen Liangyu had less and less work.
Maybe in the past everyone had the habit of repairing their houses, but now, the roof that was repaired in the past two years is not repaired every year.
So over this period of time, life has become increasingly difficult for Chen Guifu's family.
Zhang Guimei wiped the corners of her eyes. She should be happy.
Unexpectedly, Lu Cheng actually introduced a job to Chen Liangyu.
Two days ago, she heard that Guo Zhenjiang went to Jianlin Farm to work as a bricklayer. After asking around, she found out that Guo Zhenjiang was Lu Cheng's eldest cousin and the eldest son of his uncle.
Naturally, Zhang Guimei had no chance to get close to Lu Chengtao.
But Chen Guifu has a chance.
When Lu Cheng went hunting for the first time, the hunting rifle belonged to Chen Guifu. Later, he gave the bullets to Ercheng, and then gave Ercheng the job of night watchman in the village.
This is the support all the way to landing and growth.
As long as Lu Cheng still remembers the favor, he will definitely help.
Unexpectedly, she was getting angry at home when Ercheng arrived.
He also asked Chen Liang to go to Jianlin Farm the next day.
In the afternoon, Chen Liangyu returned home and said, "Mom, I haven't eaten yet. This is all the fifty cents I have today."
"Silly child, you've worked hard. Your second brother came this morning and asked you to meet him at Jianlin Farm before eight o'clock tomorrow morning. He has work for you to do. Are you willing to go?"
Chen Guifu came out from the inner room and said, "What? Don't you want to go?"
"Go, go, go, I was so happy that I forgot to speak."
Chen Liang's voice almost trembled.
Because when he was working in Zilin Village, he heard that bricklayers at Jianlin Farm were in great demand. Although there was a lot of work to do in a day, they didn't have to run around today and could rest at home for the next few days.
I finally got the business, but it rained and snowed again a few days later!
Chen Liangyu took the sauerkraut noodles and ate them happily. As he ate, tears welled up in his eyes.
His wife went back to her parents' home yesterday, and before leaving she told him, "I will definitely come back from my parents' home crying for two dollars to buy a decent school bag for our child."
Chen Liangyu's eyes turned red. Chen Guifu and Zhang Guimei sighed deeply: "Silly child, we will definitely be able to buy our Fangzheng schoolbag after a while."
Zhang Guimei said comfortingly.
Chen Guifu took a deep breath and said, "A schoolbag has made your life so miserable that you and your wife can hardly live together. Do you think it's that serious?"
Chen Liangyu immediately said, "Dad, you don't know, Zilan just doesn't want Fang Zheng to feel too bad in front of his classmates."
Zhang Guimei immediately said: "Ye Zilan didn't even think about it. A schoolbag costs almost five yuan;
In the past, we could have afforded it, but nowadays, you have fewer jobs and your father has retired. Isn't this putting us in a difficult position?"
"Hey, don't criticize your daughter-in-law. She just doesn't want Fang Zheng to lose face in front of his classmates. After all, he said before that he could get a new schoolbag by the end of the year. The job introduced by Ercheng is a timely help."
