When the dumplings were served, no one spoke anymore, because their mouths were all used to eat the dumplings and they had no time to talk, including Wang Gang.
The dumplings made by Han Mu are stuffed with cabbage and pork. To be honest, for Wang Gang, they taste average because there are too many vegetables and too little meat.
However, Wang Gang still couldn't stop eating because as soon as he stopped, it was gone.
These days, every household is not rich, and eating meat every now and then is enough to make you happy. Dumplings are something that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Therefore, the Han family's eating looks are not very good. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as wolfing down. Auntie and Meng Xiaoxing's eating looks are even worse. Their mouths are full of dumplings, and they are still stuffing dumplings as hard as they can.
"Hong Hua, eat slowly, be careful not to choke." Mother Han looked at the youngest Hong Hua, her cheeks were bulging with dumplings and she couldn't breathe, so she picked out a few dumplings for her to eat slowly.
.
Four plates of dumplings were shared among nine people, and each person couldn't share a few, so you can't do it if you're really slow.
Wang Gang stopped eating after three or four, and asked Meng Xiaoxing and Honghua to eat a few more.
Mother Han noticed her youngest son's behavior and said nothing. She just took a dumpling and gave it to Wang Gang.
The meal of dumplings was finished in a few minutes. Except for the aunt, Meng Xiaoxing and Honghua, everyone else was not enjoying the meal. Mother Han brought over some steamed buns with mixed noodles.
Wang Gang ate two steamed buns and a large bowl of dumpling soup before finally burping.
After the meal, Mother Han brought out some melon seeds and peanuts to entertain Meng Xiaoxing and Honghua, and they all sat together and chatted.
"Xiaowu, how are you doing with your job search? It's been more than a month since you came back after jumping in line, and there's no news from the street?" Sister Han asked.
"I'm still waiting for the notification from the street." Wang Gang said while cracking melon seeds.
The eldest brother sighed and said: "There are too many people coming back to the city every day, and there are only so many jobs. How can we allocate them? Otherwise, you can buy some gifts and bring them to Director Chen tomorrow."
The second sister nodded and said: "Brother, this is a reliable idea. If you don't give me some gifts, who will help you arrange your work?"
The second brother was worried and said: "This is not good! What if someone reports me?"
Some members of the family were in favor, others were opposed, and in the end they all looked at the person involved, Wang Gang.
Wang Gang thought for a while, it was indeed necessary to have a serious job in this era. It would take several years before the job could be re-opened. In the past few years, it could not always be supported by buying things.
"Uncle Cheng is also using his connections to help Cheng Jianjun find a job. I went to him before and he promised to keep an eye on it for me," Wang Gang said.
Brother Han said with a straight face: "I think it's better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. You are not Uncle Cheng's son, so you can't just count on him!"
Brother Han smiled and said: "Xiaowu, I know a construction site is hiring handymen. Food and accommodation are included, and the wages are 50 cents a day. Why don't you do it first, it's better than hanging around at home."
Second sister Han spat at her second brother and said, "Our fifth daughter has graduated from junior high school, so she can't go to the construction site to work hard."
Sister Han sighed: "Junior high school is nothing now. It would be great if Xiao Wu was a high school student. It wouldn't be difficult to find a lighter job."
Brother Han said angrily: "He didn't study hard at first and read those miscellaneous books all day long. As a result, he couldn't pass the high school entrance examination."
Among the five children of the Han family, Han Chunming is the smartest. He has been good at studying since he was a child. He is among the top three in the grade every year. Everyone in the Han family expected that he would go to high school and have the opportunity to compete in college.
Although the current college entrance examination has been stopped, universities have not been closed. Many high schools in the capital have recommendation quotas, but only those high school students with particularly top grades and clean backgrounds can be recommended to go to university.
Born as a worker in the Han family, there is no choice about his background. As long as Han Chunming studies well, he still has a good chance of going to college.
Unfortunately, in the third year of junior high school, Han Chunming's grades plummeted, which made Boss Han and the others very disappointed. From then on, their attitude towards him also changed. Only the second sister remained the same.
Through Han Chunming's memory, Wang Gang also knew the reasons for his decline in performance.
After entering junior high school, Han Chunming came into contact with Uncle Guan at the entrance of the alley, and became obsessed with antiques and history. He read those miscellaneous books all day long and did not focus on mathematics, physics and chemistry. It was strange that his grades were good.
"I think we should make two preparations. While we are waiting for news from Uncle Cheng, we can also go to the subdistrict office director for a walk." Boss Han finally made the final decision.
The aunt listened for a long time, turned to look at Meng Xiaoxing again, and said to Boss Han: "Boss, can you find a job for Xiaoxing too?"
Boss Han was stunned for a while.
"Auntie, didn't you listen to us just now? Xiaowu's work has not been solved yet. How can we introduce work to Xiaoxing." Second Sister Han said with a bitter smile.
The aunt was unwilling to give in and said: "Xiao Xing, this child may have endured hardship. Even if he works as a temporary worker, it will be fine, as long as he has food to eat."
Sister Han explained: "Auntie, it's not that we don't want to help Xiaoxing. There are regulations now. To find a job, you must have an urban household registration. The street office, the district labor bureau, the municipal labor bureau, and the three customs are indispensable. Xiaoxing has a rural household registration.
, can’t work in the city.”
The aunt sighed and said unwillingly: "It's okay to find an in-law for Xiao Xing!"
The Han family was all happy. Who would marry Meng Xiaoxing if she was neither talented nor good-looking?
What's more, when people in the city marry wives now, they don't consider those in the countryside at all. This is related to food rationing.
"I want to marry Brother Wuzi." Meng Xiaoxing spat out the melon seed shells and raised her hands and shouted.
Wang Gang had a headache and said, "Didn't I tell you? We are close relatives and cannot get married."
Meng Xiaoxing hummed: "I asked my second aunt, we have been out of the fifth server for a long time, we are not close relatives!"
Wang Gang couldn't help but look at Mother Han.
Mother Han lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at her son.
"It won't work if we take out the fifth server, we are not suitable!" Wang Gang said.
"Why?" Meng Xiaoxing said aggrievedly: "Do you have another woman in your heart? Is it that Su Meng?"
Wang Gang rolled his eyes and was about to admit it, but then he thought about Su Meng, that woman is more troublesome and he can't afford to offend her!
"It's impossible for Xiao Wu and Su Meng." Mr. Han laughed.
The aunt became interested and asked: "Why is it impossible? I think the cute and cute Zhou Zheng is also good to our Xiao Wu."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Boss Han said hehely: "Everyone who lives in this compound knows who they are. We all know each other too well, so it is impossible for us to become a couple."
In fact, Boss Han didn't say a word. The Su family came from a scholarly family, Su Meng's parents were both teachers, and Grandma Su didn't look down on Han Chunming, who came from a working-class family.
Boss Han was still worried about his younger brother's face.
Wang Gang rolled his eyes and said to everyone: "Don't guess, everyone. It is indeed impossible for me and Su Meng. I like someone else."
Mother Han said happily: "Which girl is she from? Bring it back to mom when you have time."
"Mom, she's a girl I met when I went to the countryside. I'll bring her back to you if I have a chance." Wang Gang said casually and perfunctorily.
"Everyone you meet in the countryside must have a name, right?" the aunt asked.
Wang Gang thought for a while, and a name suddenly popped into his mind.
"Her name is Cai Xiaoli, and she is also from the capital."
Mother Han became even more happy when she heard this and said, "The people in Beijing are nice and they can eat rationed food."
When Meng Xiaoxing heard this, she was unhappy, snorted and ran out.
The aunt said worriedly: "Xiao Wu, chase Xiao Xing back quickly. It's already dark and it's not safe for her as a girl to be outside."
Wang Gang thought to himself that with Meng Xiaoxing's madness, there was no guarantee that anyone would be in danger!
In the end, Wang Gang was driven out by Mother Han to find Meng Xiaoxing.
Wang Gang saw Meng Xiaoxing before he left the courtyard door. She was probably waiting for Wang Gang to chase her.
Wang Gang wouldn't do anything like throwing himself into a trap. Since Meng Xiaoxing wouldn't go far, Wang Gang didn't bother to pay attention to her and turned around and walked into the courtyard.
But before he took a few steps, a dark shadow emerged from the corner of the wall.
Wang Gang almost took action, but he stopped the car in time when he saw that it was Su Meng.
"Why are you hiding in the corner?" Wang Gang asked curiously.
"Shh!" Su Meng looked around and pulled Wang Gang aside.
"I'm hiding from my grandma." Su Meng pulled Wang Gang and hid in the shadows, and the two of them were very close.
"Your grandma taught you a lesson." Wang Zangzhang smiled.
"You still have the heart to laugh, and it's not because of you." Su Meng said angrily: "If it weren't for giving your aunt old clothes, my grandma wouldn't teach me a lesson."
At this time, Grandma Su Meng walked out from the back of the yard holding a feather duster.
"Su Meng, where did you die?"
Wang Gang clearly felt that Su Meng was trembling all over, and she was so frightened that she did not dare to make a sound.
"You are really afraid that your grandma will hit you! She is always pretending to be reluctant to hit you." Wang Gang said with a smile.
"Be gentle, don't let my grandma hear you." Su Meng pulled Wang Gang and ran to the nearby warehouse.
There is a warehouse next to the compound, where cabbage and potatoes are stored in winter. It is summer now, so the warehouse is empty, and no one usually comes here.
Su Meng pulled Wang Gang into the warehouse, patted her chest and said, "I'm not afraid that my grandma will hit me, I'm afraid that she will nag me."
Wang Gang looked at the dark surroundings and had to admire Su Meng's courage.
A man and a woman were alone in a warehouse where no one would come. If other people knew about it, how could Su Meng get married in the future?
Wang Gang originally thought that Meng Xiaoxing was a tiger, but Su Meng was even worse than her!
