Chapter 211 1 Uncle, help me
"Well, you lied to me the first time we met. You clearly bought a second-hand discount coupon, but you insisted on saying you got it through connections. The coupon was even expired. I don't like people like this!"
Faced with her parents' questions, Lou Xiao'e directly told them the whole story.
"So that's it!"
Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua and Tan Lingrou looked at each other, with a hint of unhappiness between their brows.
The Lou family is a wealthy family and has always based their business on honesty. They really can't like people who cheat and deceive others.
Although Lou Zhenhua no longer has the charm and elegance of the past, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The personality he developed since childhood made them feel ashamed when they heard about their daughter's experience.
"Xiao E, we are the ones who let you down. We didn't know that the other person was such a person!"
Lou Zhenhua and Tan Lingrou looked guilty.
As social trends change, their identities have become very sensitive.
Therefore, Lou Zhenhua wanted to marry his daughter to an ordinary person, so that they could express their recognition of the new society and it would also be good for their future development.
I didn’t expect that the blind date partner would be so unreliable!
"correct."
Seeing that her parents did not blame her, Lou Xiao'e secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, Mom, I went to the civilian canteen today. I happened to meet Uncle He, and he happened to be in need of an accountant. Can I go there to work as an accountant?"
"Accounting?"
Upon hearing this, Lou Zhenhua and Tan Lingrou both widened their eyes.
Especially Tan Lingrou, after all, she has a close relationship with He Daqing. She didn't expect that He Daqing actually wanted his daughter to work there. If so... it's really good...
But, for a girl, doing a job that puts her in the spotlight...is that a good thing?
"good, very good!"
However, after a brief moment of surprise, Lou Zhenhua burst into laughter and looked at his daughter with burning eyes.
"Xiao E, this accounting job is great. It's also our Lou family's contribution to the new society. I support your work!"
Although Lou Zhenhua is traditional, he is not a stubborn old man.
I had always wanted to change or weaken my identity through my daughter, but I was ultimately limited in my thinking.
That civilian canteen is, after all, an affiliated state-owned unit.
If my daughter could go there to work as an accountant, then in a sense, the Lou family would have changed from the bourgeoisie to the working class!
What a great idea!
"Zhenhua, is this...is this appropriate?"
Tan Lingrou looked at her husband in confusion, but her mind was full of thoughts.
"There's nothing inappropriate."
Lou Zhenhua said,
"My daughter is not young anymore. Others' daughters her age are either married or already working. Others' daughters can work, so why can't my daughter, Lou Zhenhua's? I support it!"
Yes, I thought that I could sit back and relax after selling all the properties under my name.
But now it seems that my family is living beyond their means every day, or still enjoying the life as before. In the eyes of outsiders, we are still the exploiting class.
Work. Only by devoting yourself to work can you become a member of the working class!
"Thank you dad!"
Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e jumped for joy.
I am also a person with a job!
What's more, I can often interact with Uncle He in the future.
When she thought of this, Lou Xiao'e became particularly happy.
It was getting dark.
After finishing a day's work, He Daqing prepared to ride his bike home.
This afternoon, I discussed meridian theory with Ding Qiunan and even taught him some simple massage techniques. The magic of it is beyond words.
"A great uncle, a great uncle!"
However, just as He Daqing was savoring the memory, an urgent voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Yan Bugui?"
He Daqing turned his head and saw Yan Bugui chasing him on a bicycle.
Nowadays, Yan Bugui still comes to the civilian canteen to work as a teacher after get off work. After all, literacy work cannot be accomplished overnight. Although a large number of people have been eliminated in recent years, there are still many illiterate people.
Yan Bugui rode his bicycle and came to He Daqing breathlessly.
"Uncle, I want to discuss something with you!"
He Daqing said calmly without even turning his head.
"what's up?"
Yan Bugui smiled and said,
"Look, can you cancel the validity period of the cafeteria coupons, or extend the validity period? A coupon is only valid for seven days, I can't spend it all! Besides, now all steel workers can eat for free, and this coupon can also be resold!"
In the past few years, Yan Bugui made a lot of money by relying on the coupons issued by the canteen.
But in the past two years, his situation has become very embarrassing because the canteens have become almost semi-free.
Although not everyone participated in the steelmaking operation, there were too few people willing to buy the coupons. Only Xu Damao, a lazy man, wanted to take advantage of him.
"Old Yan, just be content. At least you have something to eat now!"
He Daqing glanced at Yan Bugui and said lightly.
I thought to myself, after a while, the famine will occur again, and by then, the food supply in the cafeteria will probably become the same as it was a few years ago. The key is that this famine will last for a long time, and even if you have food coupons, you may not be able to buy much food. In this case, the discount coupons in the cafeteria will probably come into play again.
Yan Bugui, "???"
At this moment, he naturally didn't understand what He Daqing meant.
However, since He Daqing had no plans to cancel the limited-time plan, he could only sigh and accept his fate helplessly.
The two rode their bicycles all the way back to Nanluoguxiang.
"Xu Damao?"
However, when He Daqing just returned to the middle courtyard, he saw a figure walking back and forth in the yard, looking very anxious.
This person was none other than Xu Damao, who had failed in a blind date.
"Master!"
Xu Damao laughed, and hurriedly came to He Daqing with a bunch of local specialties and a smile on his face.
"Uncle, I messed up what happened during the day. It's all my fault!"
He Daqing, "..."
Xu Damao continued,
"This is what I think. You have a good relationship with Lou Xiao'e. Can you help me explain this? This is purely a misunderstanding!"
He Daqing, "..."
Wow, Xu Damao, you really know how to find people.
You actually want me to persuade Lou Xiao'e for you? Where's your face?
He Daqing was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I finally helped Lou Xiao'e escape from your clutches. Do you want me to push Lou Xiao'e into the fire again?
"Da Mao!"
He Daqing sighed,
"We are from the same courtyard. I'm telling you the truth, that girl doesn't have you in her heart at all. Don't you think about her family or yours? She has played with all the things you have played with since she was seven or eight years old. You are just a clown in front of her!"
Xu Damao, "..."
He instinctively wanted to refute He Daqing, but suddenly he felt that what He Daqing said was indeed correct.
What I said and did during the day did seem very pretentious to an ordinary girl.
But in front of Lou Xiao'e, a young lady from a wealthy family, it is nothing!
Not only is it not worth mentioning, but it also makes me look old-fashioned...
This...backfired!
