112, Educated Youth Flower 15
Su Yuanyuan and Xu Xiaona told Liu Shuying what happened in the county when they got home, and then told her about Xu Xiangdong's work. So Xu Xiangdong was greeted by his loving mother's concern as soon as he entered the village.
"Dongzi! Did you really find a job? When did you learn to drive?"
Xu Xiangdong smiled and said, "I learned it a long time ago, but there was no place to drive before, so there was nothing to talk about. Don't worry, Mom, my job is very stable. Unless I quit, I won't be fired."
Liu Shuying slapped him on the back and spit at her feet, "You little kid, you can't hear good things in your mouth. Why don't you do it? Why don't you do such a good job? If you become a formal worker in the future, not only will you have a high salary, but you can also get a city hukou and share food and housing!"
Xu Xiangdong thought that he had given her a thousand yuan, and he didn't know why she was so happy about a job with a salary of more than 20 yuan. He simply let her talk beside him and shut up and listened.
Liu Shuying had been noticed by others when she was waiting at the entrance of the village. Now, when they saw Xu Xiangdong coming back with bags and heard Liu Shuying happily talking about work, they all came over.
"Sister Liu, what kind of job is this? Did Dongzi find a job?"
"Dongzi, what are you holding? Do you really have a job? Can you buy things as soon as you start working?"
"Where do you work?"
Everyone was asking questions one after another. Xu Xiangdong couldn't stand this enthusiasm and squeezed out of the crowd with great effort and ran back home. Liu Shuying enjoyed this honor very much. She smiled and told everyone that her youngest son was a driver in a textile factory. As soon as he started working, he was praised in public by the factory director and entrusted with important tasks. As for why Xu Xiangdong bought so many things, she also said that Xu Xiangdong earned money by helping others everywhere when he was free, and bought things for his family with all the money he earned. This is family-oriented.
The villagers were shocked. If they said Xu Xiangdong had a fight with someone outside, some people would believe it. But if they said he had found a proper job and was working as a helper to earn money, no one would believe it. If he was so diligent, why did Xu Xiangdong have to go to the village to pick pig grass? Could he be lying? But no matter what, it was true that Xu Xiangdong brought back a lot of things. Last time his brother got married, he even gave him a radio.
Some people suspected that he was secretly reselling things, but there was no evidence at all, and everyone couldn't make up stories. In the end, they could only half-believe and half-doubt what Liu Shuying said, and echoed and praised Xu Xiangdong a lot.
After Liu Shuying enjoyed the villagers' praise for her youngest son, she was already sweating, but she didn't mind at all. This was her youngest son's pride. She could finally tell others how capable her son was. She was so proud! But after returning home, she grabbed Xu Xiangdong and changed the subject, "Yuanyuan said you drive long distances? Can you drive? Are you very tired? Is it safe? Is there anyone following you on long journeys? How do you eat and sleep outside?"
Xu Xiangdong patiently sat beside her and explained everything to her, reassuring her. Although this woman was not very experienced, a little too cautious, and nagging, she was his mother now, and he could feel the love from the bottom of her heart. This woman was doing her best to love her children and was a respectable and lovely mother.
So Xu Xiangdong was not impatient at all, but cherished this motherly love.
Xu Xiangqian was listening at the side, silent. After Liu Shuying finished speaking, he patted Xu Xiangdong on the shoulder and said with satisfaction: "Dongzi has really grown up! Work hard!"
Xu Xiangdong nodded, "Brother, I don't spend much time at home, you should take care of mom more, and give my share to mom as well, but don't make mom angry."
Xu Xiangqian hit him, "You little brat, do you need to tell me this? That's my mom too!"
Xu Xiangdong curled his lips and crossed his legs, "I'm just afraid that you will be deceived? Brother, you are so... Such an honest person is most likely to be targeted. You have to be careful and listen to our mother. We are also a family. If there is anything, let's discuss it together. I guarantee that it will get better and better. "
Xu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully at Xu Xiangdong's expression, but he didn't find anything. He lowered his head unnaturally and sighed: "Don't worry, I was deceived once, I won't be deceived a second time, we are a family."
Xu Xiangdong couldn't stay at home for long, and rushed back to the county after talking to him. But Xu Xiangqian sat in the yard for a long time, wondering if Xu Xiangdong had seen that he was a little emotional because of Ji Lan's provocation before? This second brother has always been smart and clever, and his brain turns quickly. Did he see something and then say something to him? Otherwise, why did he mention it several times to ask him to listen to his mother? It seems that he also suggested that he divorce Ji Lan that day.
Xu Xiangqian took a deep breath and felt that he was really confused in his life. He had no ideas of his own at all, and married a restless wife. But thinking of Ji Lan crying and swearing that day, he touched his chest and decided to try again. She was his wife, and he couldn't abandon her easily. Anyway, he would listen to his mother in this family in the future, so Ji Lan wouldn't be able to make any trouble, right? His mother had never made any trouble in these years when she was in charge of the family.
This time, Xu Xiangdong came back to let everyone know that he could really make money. A few days later, someone who went to the county to do business came back and said that Xu Xiangdong really worked as a driver in a textile factory. Now everyone knew that he really had a proper job, and they were surprised and envious. A lazy second-rate guy actually said that he found a job just because he wanted to find a job. When did he learn to drive? How could he drive so well? Will he turn over a new leaf and become a city dweller in the future?
Of course, due to the deep-rooted impression Xu Xiangdong had given everyone over the past decade, even if everyone said he had changed, most people thought he wouldn't last for a few days. After all, everyone knew that Xu Xiangdong was a good student before, but he suddenly stopped studying, saying that studying was boring, and then he didn't go to work. When forced to go, he would find all kinds of ways to be lazy. No one denied that he was smart, but it was also a recognized fact that he was lazy.
Now he is about to get married, and he has found a decent job, but driving is said to be very tiring. Maybe he will quit as soon as he gets married? This must be to deceive the girl into willingly marrying him, right? But does Su Yuanyuan need to be deceived? She can't do anything except picking pig grass. No good boy would marry her, right? Does Xu Xiangdong need to work so hard?
Anyway, no matter what they think, Xu Xiangdong still works steadily in the county, and Su Yuanyuan still never shows up after picking pig grass. Gradually, everyone was attracted by other things. For example, Ji Lan lost a lot of weight due to digging canals. She turned from a pretty girl into a passerby who could not be found in the crowd. For example, after Zou Wen recovered from his injury, he not only had to carry manure and apply fertilizer, but also had to drive geese and cattle every day. He made trouble several times but nothing came of it. Now he is very haggard. For example, Xu Xiangqian worked harder, but he had no expression all day long, which was a bit scary sometimes.
There were many messy things in the village. Everyone talked and laughed about it for two months. They almost forgot about Xu Xiangdong. He was once again enlightened by him!
Xu Xiangdong was successfully converted to a regular employee after working for a month, but since he could not stand the enthusiasm of the villagers when he returned to the village last time, he did not say it this time. Every time he drove to other places, he would find a way to resell some things and make a profit. Once he was lucky enough to receive an antique plate. He was so secretive that he actually found someone who cherished antiques and bought it at a high price, so he earned more than a thousand yuan.
On the eve of the wedding, he went back to the village to find Su Yuanyuan to go to the county town together. No one took it seriously at first. Isn't it normal for a young couple to buy some wedding things? Liu Shuying had prepared a lot, so she only bought some small things. Who would have thought that Xu Xiangdong would come back in a truck!
The truck was carrying a bicycle, a sewing machine, a TV, and a cloth bag that looked like clothes, shoes, etc. When they got off the car, someone with sharp eyes saw the brand new watch on Su Yuanyuan's wrist, as well as a beautiful dress and small leather shoes. This is more than just three turns and one ring, this is simply dressing up the new bride like a fairy? How much do these things cost?
The women surrounded Su Yuanyuan and went in, and looked at the things they bought with Liu Shuying. I don't know who opened the cloth bag, and there were six new clothes, a pair of white cloth shoes, and a pair of low-heeled leather shoes. These things were all money in their eyes. On the one hand, they felt that Xu Xiangdong was a spendthrift, but on the other hand, they were a little envious of Su Yuanyuan.
The men helped move things and looked at the 12-inch TV curiously, but the big truck was even more curious. Many of them had never seen such a car before. It looked majestic and domineering, much better than a tractor. A group of people pulled Xu Xiangdong and Su Yuanyuan to ask this and that, and some arranged to install the TV and gathered together to watch TV. After four or five hours of excitement, they left reluctantly, leaving the Xu family a quiet place.
Ji Lan, who had just returned to the Xu family to help with the wedding, had been forcing a smile for most of the day. She didn't dare to show her dissatisfaction in her heart, but looking at so many good things, she was really upset. She just didn't believe that it was earned by Xu Xiangdong, otherwise why had she never heard of Xu Xiangdong's success in her previous life? If Xu Xiangdong made so much money, she didn't believe that Liu Shuying would hide it and not show off. Could it be that they moved away as soon as they had money? How is it possible?
Then how did they buy these things? It must have been subsidized by Liu Shuying! Similarly, when she wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, Liu Shuying scolded her for wanting a bicycle, saying that she was not content to stay at home and always wanted to go to the county. What about now? Why did Su Yuanyuan buy it when she was asked to? At that time, they said that buying a sewing machine would be economical and practical at home, so what should she buy for Su Yuanyuan? A sewing machine at home was not enough? There was also a TV, a watch, and she also saw a gold necklace! Add those clothes and shoes, how many times more than the betrothal gift for her? The Xu family was too bullying!
Ji Lan thought about the things in her previous life, and felt more and more that at that time, there were only Xu Xiangqian's family of three living together. It must be that Xu Xiangqian's wife also discovered that these people were vampires and drove them all away. It's a pity that she can't stand up straight now. I really don't know when she can live a life like that woman.
Except for Ji Lan, no one in the Xu family was unhappy. Even Xu Xiangqian was proud of his brother from the bottom of his heart. Su Yuanyuan returned to the educated youth point happily with the dowry that Xu Xiangdong specially prepared for her, and once again prepared to be a happy bride!
