Chapter 146 The situation is grim
Lin Shu took advantage of Gu Jiu’s absence and went up the mountain for two days. Not to mention how much money he made, continuous mountain climbing was really tiring.
It was estimated that Gu Jiu would be back in the next two days, and she gave up the idea of going up the mountain again.
After two days of exhaustion, I rarely slept in for a whole day. I woke up naturally as soon as I woke up. I opened the door and heard someone talking loudly downstairs.
Lin Shu’s first thought was that there were visitors at home.
She was a new daughter-in-law who had just married into the Gu family. She didn't know any of the relatives of the Gu family except those she had met once during the toast at the wedding banquet. Moreover, even if she met relatives once during a wedding banquet, she might not recognize them when they meet again.
Lin Shu has always known that he has a bit of prosopagnosia, and he cannot remember the faces of people he often meets.
"My mother-in-law, I heard that your youngest son married a rural girl? Last time you hosted a wedding banquet, I originally wanted to come with the old man to have a wedding banquet. But on the day of departure, I was infected with wind and cold. I had a headache and dizziness, so I asked him to Someone came, and I haven’t seen her yet.”
Jiang's mother looked around the living room on the first floor, and then looked at the second floor: "Where is she? Is she going out?"
Wang Suzhen pointed to the second floor with a smile: "Shu Shu hasn't come down yet. You'll see her when she comes down. Don't worry."
Jiang's mother glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and frowned slightly, "What time is it, and you haven't gotten up yet?"
Oh, how can you treat your daughter-in-law like this? Fortunately, the Gu family hired a nanny. If there was no nanny, wouldn't the mother-in-law have to wait on her?
“It’s okay to relax, so I might as well sleep more.” Wang Suzhen smiled, “Anyway, Xiao Liu is busy at home buying food and cooking, so we don’t need her at all.”
"Tsk, there is no such easy-to-talk mother-in-law as you in the world. I am really lucky to be your daughter-in-law." Jiang's mother complimented, but she hated to see her junior sleeping in.
"My mother-in-law, your little daughter-in-law hasn't gotten up yet, haven't you thought about finding her a job in the city? After all, she is already a member of your family, and she can't just idle around at home all day. , is it the same as Jiu Geer? ”
"One of the couple must have a formal job to be safe. After they have children, they can support the family."
After hearing this, Wang Suzhen responded with a smile, and she must have a job. Otherwise, the couple would not be able to support themselves, let alone their children.
It’s just that this matter should not be rushed. Now Lin Shu is mainly focusing on raising the baby, and will wait until after the baby is born to talk about anything.
But she would not tell Jiang Mu.
"Tsk, mother-in-law, you are too spoiled to this little daughter-in-law." Jiang's mother was a little sour. Mother-in-law Wang Suzhen was a good mother-in-law, sensible and did not try to challenge her daughter-in-law. But today's favor was not for her daughter, so Jiang's mother was inevitably a little jealous.
Lin Shu heard these words when she came down from upstairs, and felt in her heart that Wang Suzhen was really good to her and was willing to pamper her.
Thinking of this, her smile became sweeter, "Mom, are there guests at home?"
The three people sitting on the sofa in the living room turned their heads when they heard the sound.
Wang Suzhen smiled and waved to her: "Come, this is your third sister-in-law's mother, you can call her aunt or aunt. The other one is your Aunt Jiang's in-laws' niece, come with her. You have something to do in the city, so you came to see me."
"Aunt Jiang, Comrade Jiang." Lin Shu greeted politely and followed Wang Suzhen's pull and sat next to her.
"Oh, mother-in-law, this is your little daughter-in-law, she is dressed in a weird fashion." Jiang's mother thought about what kind of fairy Gu Jiu could find with his unruly temperament.
After a thousand choices, I found one from a rural area.
She thought this woman was pretty at best, but she didn't expect that she was not only beautiful but also dignified. She was not timid when she came down from upstairs to see them. She greeted them gracefully and kept a polite smile on her face.
This attitude of being unfazed by honor and disgrace really made Jiang's mother a little jealous and felt unhappy.
Looking back at her niece who insisted on following her to the Gu family this time, she noticed the jealous light in her eyes and shook her head in her heart. There was a huge difference between the two.
Wang Suzhen smiled and was not modest at all: "This child knows how to dress well, plus he is naturally beautiful. When he and my ninth brother go out, they are a perfect match for each other."
< br>Lin Shu suppressed a smile and nodded in agreement.
Don’t think she didn’t notice Comrade Jiang’s jealous eyes, they were real. If jealousy were fire, she might have burned out.
Jiang Jie's heart tightened when she saw Wang Suzhen protecting Lin Shu so much, and happened to notice that the two of them wore the same style of clothes.
“Hey, Auntie, the clothes you are wearing are the same style as those worn by Sister Shu. Did you give the clothes that Sister Shu is wearing to her? Where did you buy these clothes? The style is good. Beautiful.”
Wang Suzhen lowered her head and straightened her clothes, then looked at the clothes Lin Shu was wearing. They were not the same style as her own.
She explained with a smile: "This style is good-looking, but Xiaojie, you will be disappointed if you want to buy it. Because this dress was made by Shu Shu herself. She made two pieces, and I made one piece for her. When we go out dressed like this, outsiders will know that we are mother and daughter. , in Shu Shu’s words, this is called a mother-daughter outfit. "
In fact, this dress is a short windbreaker with a stand-up collar, made of black cashmere fabric with bright metal buckles, and is tailor-made. The size fits perfectly, and the effect on the upper body has been improved by several levels.
Wang Suzhen looks very energetic when she wears it, and she looks a few years younger.
Lin Shu smiled sweetly and said: "Mom, you have maintained your figure well. Your elegant temperament looks good in anything you wear."
"I like what you say." Wang Suzhen looked complacent, smiling and patting her hand.
When Jiang Jie saw this scene, her eyelids twitched and she almost couldn't keep the smile on her face.
No matter how uncomfortable it is, Jiang’s mother can’t help but say with a smile: “It makes my teeth sore, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along really well.”
“Haha. I’m such a person. Not only do I get along well with Shu Shu, but I also get along well with the boss, second, and third family members.”
After Wang Suzhen laughed enough, she motioned to Lin Shu to get up and go have breakfast, as long as the guests here can stay with her.
When Lin Shu went to the restaurant, Jiang's mother said with envy: "I see that you and your daughters-in-law don't get along like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but like mother and daughter or friends. Please teach me some experience quickly, and I will try to get along with my daughters-in-law when I get back." "Relationship."
Wang Suzhen shook her head cheerfully: "Nothing. If you really want to know, just ask Lao San’s family. It’s more convenient for you mother and daughter to talk to each other.”
Jiang’s mother nodded at her and looked back at Jiang Jie. , "Speaking of which, I haven't seen your ninth brother for a long time. I wanted to see him when I came here this time. He has grown so much, but he even married his wife in a blink of an eye. It turns out that he is not at home."
As she said this, she took Jiang Jie's hand and said, "My niece has reached the age of marriage. I've never met a suitable guy over there, so I brought her here just for a favor. You, see if you have a suitable young man here, preferably one whose family conditions are better."
Jiang Jie's smile stiffened for a moment, but she recovered quickly and apologized to Wang Suzhen. He smiled and said, "I'll ask my aunt to pay attention to my matter." Noon.
"Why did you come back at noon? Didn't you just make more money yesterday, and you just dealt with a few steamed buns?" Lin Shu was a little surprised to see Gu Youhui come back.
“All the sugar cane we moved here in the morning has been sold. Isn’t it time to go home for dinner? By the way, would you like to go to the train station to help in the afternoon?” Gu Youhui asked with a smile.
Lin Shu peeled an orange and handed him half of it, "Do you want me to help?"
Gu Youhui nodded: "Yes, little aunt, you don't know that I am little Will uncle come back today?”
Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, suppressed the joy in her heart, and looked at him suspiciously, "I don't know about this. How do you know that your uncle will come back today? Did your uncle hang up the phone at home?"
Gu Youhui glanced at Wang Suzhen who was helping in the kitchen with a guilty conscience, turned around and said in a low voice: "Uncle, yesterday afternoon Call me back, you probably haven't come back yet. I only found out last night, when my grandma said she forgot to tell you. Now it seems that my grandma not only forgot to tell you last night, but she also forgot today." br>
"When will your brother-in-law arrive?" Lin Shu didn't care about being angry, and there was no joy on his face.
Gu Youhui: "I specifically asked the customer service staff at the train station today, and they said that my uncle's train will arrive around five o'clock in the afternoon. Do you want to go to the train station with me to set up a stall in the afternoon?"
While the two were talking, Gu Zhiyuan and Gu Xiang entered the door with their briefcases, followed by Gu Chunjing and Gu Chunlan from the second family.
One of them is in the first grade of junior high school and the other is in the second grade of elementary school.
Several other children who are older than them live in school, and those younger than them go to kindergarten and do not need to come back at noon.
As soon as the sisters entered the door, they went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
"Dad, second uncle, why are you back at noon today?"
"Eldest brother, second brother."
Lin Shu stood up and poured each of them a cup of tea.
Gu Xiang came over and thanked Lin Shu, threw his briefcase on the sofa, raised his hand and patted Gu Youhui on the back of the head.
"You don't care if I come back at noon, now tell me what you have been busy with outside these days? If you are not doing your job all day long, are you really planning to inherit your brother-in-law"
< br>After saying this, Gu Xiang remembered that Lin Shu was sitting here and hurriedly swallowed back the unsaid words.
Lin Shu knew what she meant without even thinking about it. It seemed that Gu Jiu's image as a street kid in the provincial capital was more popular than she thought.
Gu Youhui covered the back of his head and dared not say anything. He snorted: "I'm not busy with anything, just"
Gu Xiang didn't have the patience to listen to him and interrupted him: "Today I will inform you for the last time, go to the bearing Do you want to work as an apprentice in the factory? We know that it is the end of the year, and I don’t know how many educated youths will return to the city this year. Coupled with the unemployed youth in the city, the employment pressure in cities across the country is not as severe as usual, and it will only be more stressful next year.”
Gu Zhiyuan at this time He also advised: "Youhui, listen to your dad and go to the bearing factory. It will be more difficult to find a job next year. By then, your dad won't be able to open the back door for you."
Lin Shu asked : "Big brother and second brother, are you going to the countryside at the end of this year? All educated youths will return to the city?"
Gu Zhiyuan nodded: "Well, almost all of them will come back. So what is facing now is the problem of finding jobs for unemployed youth. This is the top priority this year and next."
Lin Shu didn't understand political affairs and asked curiously: "There are so many positions in the city. No matter how many positions are added, the number is still there. How can we accommodate so many young people?"
You must know that after so many years, the number of positions is still there. There are many rural educated youths who have returned to the city. Not to mention jobs, housing and food are all a problem.
When it comes to arranging unemployed young people to re-employ, Gu Xiang sighed, "Currently, various units allow parents to retire early, and their children can take over their jobs. In addition, various agencies and units are allowed to add a certain number of positions and accept a certain number of positions. It is recommended that a large number of unemployed young people find employment, and two people can do the work of one person, and three people can eat for five days. Eat alone. Anyway, the above means that no problems are allowed in this area."
Gu Zhiyuan thought of three people in his family who were unemployed, and said, "Sister-in-law, we will help you get your household registration this year. What are your plans for work? "
Mainly because they want to arrange it, but Lin Shu is pregnant now. None of the normal young people in each unit wanted to recruit, so they had even more reason to refuse a pregnant woman.
It's just that based on their family's influence in the provincial capital, it's okay to arrange a job, but they don't want to make it too difficult for anyone.
“I would be very grateful if you could help me get my household registration. I won’t bother you with work matters. Gu Jiu and I have never thought about going to work and getting paid. That kind of life is not very convenient. It suits us." Lin Shu declined politely with a smile.
Gu Zhiyuan glanced at his elder brother and expressed his worries without hesitation: "We know what kind of company Lao Jiu and his friends have set up, but is this company really reliable?"< br>
Lin Shu smiled and did not answer him directly, "Whether it is reliable or not, we will wait and see. Let's not talk about the company opened here in the provincial capital for the time being. We opened a canteen in our hometown county. At present, the daily profit is between six and seven. About ten dollars , we may earn more by expanding our business in the future. Therefore, our husband and wife have never thought about going to work honestly.”
“Yes, if my uncle and aunt don’t go to work, I won’t do anything. As an apprentice, I will start my own business to support myself." Gu Youhui looked at Gu Xiang and said with a serious face: "Dad, don't worry about my job. I am now setting up a stall at the train station. I can earn more than a hundred yuan if I work hard every day. One day.”
"More than a hundred a day?"
Gu Xiang and Gu Zhiyuan, who were sitting firmly on the sofa, were shocked. They both lost their composure for a moment. Money is so easy to make now?
Gu Youhui raised his eyebrows proudly: "Yes, I didn't want to alarm you originally. Now that you are talking about work, I will give you an explanation. I will not go to any apprenticeship. , I don’t even bother to go. It’s only twenty bucks for a month’s hard work. I earned my salary in one morning, so why bother to come to Zhai?”
Then, without waiting for Gu Xiang to ask, Gu Youhui told him how to set up a stall from Lin Shu, and now he is on his own. He said it with great joy and was so proud.
Lin Shu was speechless and raised his forehead, "Young man, we have to keep a low profile even after making money, we don't have to be so showy."
After hearing this, Gu Xiang and Gu Zhiyuan looked at each other thoughtfully.
Gu Xiang: "You are so proud, let me ask you, what are you going to do when you finish selling this batch of sugar cane?"
Uh, Gu Youhui was stuck for a moment.
Sure enough, Jiang is still as spicy as ever. He hit the nail on the head and grasped the crux of the problem at once.
"With the reform and opening up, gold is everywhere. As long as you have a way to do anything, you can make money. Brother, you don't have to worry too much about him." Lin Shu helped to rescue him.
There is gold everywhere, why didn’t they see it? If there was gold everywhere, would they still have to worry about finding jobs for young people?
