"So you agreed?" Zhao Yang sat next to her and coaxed her.
In fact, even if Sun Hongmei disagrees, he can make the decision on his own and arrange for Xu Li to live with his brother-in-law.
Sun Hongmei nodded and agreed quickly, but with ulterior motives: "Ah, otherwise, my brother's favor cannot be lost."
After saying that, she got up and prepared to go out.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Yang asked again.
Sun Hongmei: "What else can I do? Of course I'm going to call Aunt Liu."
"If I ask you to set up a phone number, you won't be worried."
Zhao Yang was speechless, sent him out, and then went to make milk powder for the child.
…
At the South Street Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Aunt Liu asked someone to buy some goods and was about to put the toys and food on the shelves.
Two or three children came over to buy things, making a lot of noise.
After dealing with them, I had time to get busy with what I should do.
In this era, in fact, the village had its own supply and marketing cooperative, which was even more glorious than the cadres at the brigade headquarters.
Not to mention anything else, just the phone on the table is something that only her family can afford.
Not only does business go well, but it also facilitates connections between urban and rural areas.
Unless there is a long queue and you have to go to the city to take a telegram, most of the villagers will rely on the phone here to communicate with other places during the rest of the time.
When Sun Hongmei rushed over, she had just finished her work.
"Aunt Liu."
"Hey, Hongmei, didn't you just give birth to a baby? How can you run around casually?"
Seeing that she cared so much about her, Sun Hongmei smiled and said, "We are all from the village, not so squeamish."
"That's great. When I gave birth to my child, I always wanted to move around just like you." Aunt Liu said, "By the way, do you need to buy anything?"
"No, I'll just make a call." Sun Hongmei came to the phone, pressed a few numbers and put it to her ear. After the call was connected, she carried Aunt Liu behind her back and whispered, "Brother, I am your sister.
Last time you said you wanted to hire a nanny, do you still want to do it?"
"As a matter of fact." said the person on the phone, "do you have the right person over there?"
"There is one from our village." Sun Hongmei said, "You heard my sister said that when she passes by, you and Huihui will just try to punish her in different ways."
The person on the phone couldn't figure out what she meant and asked why.
Sun Hongmei: "Oh, don't ask so many questions. Just do what I ask you to do."
at the same time.
North Street, Wu Huiping's house, the construction team next door went to work as usual after finishing their meal.
Xu Li didn't want to hide it from her family. Before Wu Huiliang came back, she gathered her family in the main house, hugged Yuanyuan and said, "Dad, Mom, Huiping, Yuanyuan, there is something I want to discuss with you."
one time."
Old Man Wu: "Daughter-in-law, if you have any questions, just tell me and don't talk to anyone else."
Aunt Chen: "Yes, there are no outsiders in this family. If something is difficult, we can bear it together."
Wu Huiping: "Sister-in-law, I am also the man of this family. Even if my brother is not around, I can hold up half the sky. Just tell me."
Yuanyuan: "Mama, what are you talking about? Yuanyuan is so hungry..."
"..." Xu Li's eyes were filled with too much reluctance. Although she knew that most of them would not agree with this kind of thing, she still insisted on her opinion and said: "I have discussed it with Huiliang
, decided to go to the city to work alone for a while. Although Huiliang is capable now, he is still alone after all. I don't want him to be so tired."
When talking about this, everyone in the family became pale.
Yes, I don’t know since when, Wu Huiliang has been supporting the family.
Over the past few days, he had gone out early and returned late, day and night, but he had never been willing to have a good meal at home.
Even though I was young, my body couldn't bear it as time went by.
However, the city is so big, how is it possible to find a job as soon as you go there?
When they thought of this, everyone in the family frowned and looked at Old Man Wu together.
"Old man, you decide." Now that Huiliang is gone, he is the only one who can take charge in this family, and no one else can. But he can't keep silent as he gets older, so Aunt Chen is also anxious.
A reminder.
After hearing this, Old Man Wu knocked the cigarette pole in his hand, coughed a few times and said, "This is a good thing. The family is short of money. Having one more person to earn money can also reduce Huiliang's burden."
"So, you agree?" Xu Li looked at them.
Wu Huiping and Mrs. Chen did not say anything. Instead, they looked at Old Man Wu immediately. After seeing him nodding, they put aside all the worries in their hearts. However, there are some things that should be asked clearly.
.
Before they could express their stance, Aunt Chen asked: "You have to have a way out to work. I wonder if you have discussed this with Huiliang?"
"Yes, how has the city developed now? It is said that many people want to work there, and what procedures need to be completed. Has my brother told you anything?" Seeing his mother asking questions, Wu Huiping also became worried.
.
"I didn't say anything about the procedures," Xu Li said, "However, he said it was introduced by Accountant Zhao. I think we are all acquaintances, so there should be no problem."
When everyone heard that it was the job introduced by Zhao Yang, they immediately relaxed and said nothing more.
It's just that the little girl who has been spending time with her mother seems a little reluctant to leave her now.
As soon as he heard that Mommy was leaving, and it was several months later, he got angry, stamped his feet, broke away from Mommy's arms, ran out, and yelled that he would not go to school. The family had no choice but to follow
He walked over and ran to the door with her, "Yuanyuan...you girl...what's wrong with you now..."
"I don't want Mom to go to the city, I want Mom to stay with me forever." Yuanyuan cried, "Mama won't abandon me, right?"
It turned out that she was afraid of leaving her. After Xu Li knew her daughter's thoughts, she turned away and cried for a while. Then she wiped away her tears and turned around and said: "Yuanyuan, listen to what Mom said, Mom is not
Leaving you behind, Mommy is just going to work in the city temporarily. Your daddy has a hard time making money, Mommy has to be considerate of him, and you have to be considerate of him too..."
"If there is anything wrong with Mom, Mom will apologize to you..."
"Be good, listen to Mommy and come here quickly..."
The little girl is sensible, she has been sensible from the beginning.
She knew the current situation at home. Daddy was busy building a house while going out to make money, and even had to support the big family.
Can you say it’s not hard work?
It is only natural for Mom to go out and do some work and share some of the burden for him.
However, she really didn't want to leave Mom.
"Mama, I don't want you to leave me, I don't want..."
