Chapter 380 The Qin family’s surprise!
Chapter 380 The Qin family’s surprise!
Qin Huairu nodded affirmatively when she heard her father and brother's question, and answered, "Dad! The factory is expanding its recruitment this time, and a total of three quotas are given to Brother Dongming. Brother Dongming plans to divide these three quotas among Uncle Dongxu and his two uncles' families, one quota for each family."
"After I heard the news, I thought of our family, so I went to Brother Dongming and begged him for a job. In the end, I got a job quota from him. However, there are two boys in our family. Who do you think is more suitable to be given this quota?"
Going to the city to work as a worker means that there will be a huge change in the future life. If Qin Huairu gets two quotas, one for each of the two children in the family. Now Qin Huairu only has one work quota. Should she give it to the eldest child? Or to the youngest child? This question stumped Qin's father.
Qin Xiaojun was in a state of excitement. Hearing the conversation between Qin Huairu and Qin's father, he thought of his elder brother who always loved him. Although he was very eager to go to the city to work as a worker, he said to Qin's father against his will: "Dad! I'm still young, why don't you give this quota to my brother?"
Mother Qin doted on her youngest son. When she heard what Qin Xiaojun said, she immediately said to his father, "Dad! Dajun is married after all. He can't abandon his wife and children and go to work in the city, right? I think it's better to give this quota to Xiaojun. In this way, Xiaojun may be able to marry a city wife in the future, and the whole family can eat rations."
According to rural customs, the eldest son will take care of the two elders in the future. For this reason, Qin's father and mother are inclined to let Qin Xiaojun go to the city to work as a worker. However, Qin's father is worried that his decision will cause dissatisfaction among the eldest son's family, so he has been hesitant and doesn't know who to give the quota to.
After hearing his wife's suggestion, Father Qin pondered for a moment and asked Qin Huairu, "Huairu! You took this quota back. Who do you think it should be given to?"
When Jia Dongming gave the quota to Qin Huairu, he once told Qin Huairu to hand it over to her parents. As for who to give the quota to, it would be up to her parents to decide.
Facing Qin's father's question and thinking of Jia Dongming's explanation, Qin Huairu's face suddenly showed an embarrassment, and she said to Qin's father: "Dad! I think we should let brother and Xiaojun draw lots! Whoever draws the quota will get the quota. As for the other person, I will ask brother Dongming to think of a way to see if he can get another quota in the future."
When Qin's father heard Qin Huairu's suggestion, he felt that Qin Huairu's idea was indeed very reasonable, and immediately ordered Qin Xiaojun: "Xiaojun! Ride your sister's bicycle to your sister-in-law's parents' home and call your brother and sister-in-law back."
Although Qin Xiaojun said that he would give the work quota to his eldest brother, he was unwilling in his heart. Now he was very happy to hear the suggestion from Qin Huairu. He nodded and replied: "Dad! Then I will go to my sister-in-law's family and call my brother and sister-in-law back."
Qin Huairu watched Qin Xiaojun push his bicycle out of the yard, and quickly opened the cloth bag on the table and said to Qin's father and mother: "Dad! Mom! This is what I brought back for you. Here are 20 kilograms of cornmeal, two bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes. In addition, I also brought back two kilograms of pork belly. I will cook the meat at noon and give you two a good nourishment."
"Sister Huairu! How come you have time to come back today!" Qin Huairu's voice had just fallen when a graceful girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, suddenly ran into the yard from outside and shouted to Qin Huairu happily.
Qin Huairu heard a familiar voice behind her and turned around subconsciously. Seeing the little girl running into the yard from outside, she immediately smiled and greeted her, "It's Jingru! Today is a day off, and I came back to see your second uncle and second aunt."
Qin Jingru quickly ran to Qin Huairu, looking at Qin Huairu in a Lenin suit, with an envious expression on her face, and asked Qin Huairu: "Sister Huairu! Is it fun in the city? Can I go to the city with you?"
If it were in the past, Qin Huairu would definitely not dare to agree to Qin Jingru's request, but now the Jia family's life has improved, and with Jia Dongming as her backer, Qin Huairu no longer has to look at Jia Zhang's face. Facing Qin Jingru's request, Qin Huairu smiled and replied: "Jingru! You want to go to the city to play with me, there is no problem at all, but my third uncle and third aunt must agree."
Qin Jingru was so happy when she saw that Qin Huairu agreed to take her to the city to play that she cheered and said to her excitedly, "Sister! Wait, I'll go home to see my parents right away, and come to see you later." Seeing Qin Jingru running out of the yard excitedly, Qin's mother showed a worried expression on her face and reminded Qin Huairu, "Huairu! Although your uncle is the head of your family now, your mother-in-law is not so easy to get along with. If you take Jingru to the city, aren't you afraid that she will cause trouble for you?"
When Qin Huairu heard her mother's reminder, she thought of Jia Zhang's character and replied with a smile, "Mom! Since Brother Dongming came back, my mother-in-law's character has changed a lot. She is no longer as fussy as before. In my mother-in-law's words, Brother Dongming is now a cadre, and she is Dongming's mother. She can't be as unreasonable as before and embarrass Dongming. Otherwise, with my mother-in-law's past character, will she agree to give the quota to our family?"
When Qin's father and mother heard what Qin Huairu said, they thought of Jia Zhang's character. Qin's father said to Qin Huairu seriously, "Huairu! Although Banggeng's uncle is the head of the Jia family now, he is married after all. You must always remember your identity."
When Qin Huairu heard his father's instructions, she immediately understood what he meant. She nodded and replied, "Dad! Don't worry, I know what to do."
Qin Xiaojun rode Qin Huairu's bicycle for more than half an hour and arrived at Wangjia Village, which was several miles away from Qinjia Village.
Qin Dajun, who was helping his father-in-law at his father-in-law's door, saw Qin Xiaojun, who was out of breath riding a bicycle. He asked Qin Xiaojun curiously, "Xiaojun! Why are you coming to your sister-in-law's house at this time? Did something happen at home?"
When Qin Xiaojun heard Qin Dajun's question and thought of his purpose of coming to Wangjia Village, he immediately said to Qin Dajun: "Brother! My sister is back, and Dad asked you to go home immediately."
After hearing what Qin Xiaojun had introduced and learning about Qin Huairu's return, Qin Dajun asked Qin Xiaojun curiously, "Xiaojun! Huairu is back. Did something happen at Huairu's home?"
When Qin Xiaojun heard Qin Dajun's question, he thought about the work quota and shook his head subconsciously. He replied, "Brother! It's not that something happened in my family, but there is a good thing. Anyway, you should come home with me as soon as possible."
Qin Dajun's father-in-law heard what Ga Qin Xiaojun said to Qin Dajun and immediately said to Qin Dajun: "Dajun! Since your in-laws asked your brother to call you back, there must be something important for your family to find you. You should go back with your brother first!"
After hearing what his father-in-law said, Qin Dajun pondered for a moment, then he said to Qin Xiaojun, "Xiaojun! Go back first. I'll pack up here and go back with your sister-in-law and nephews."
"Dad! I want to ride my bike back home." Several children who were playing in the yard heard the noise at the gate and all ran out of the yard. Qin Dajun's son, Qin Dabao, heard what Qin Dajun said and immediately shouted that he wanted to ride Qin Xiaojun's bike back home.
When Qin Xiaojun heard Qin Dabao's request, he nodded immediately and said to Qin Dajun with a smile: "Brother! Dabao will go back with me first, and you and sister-in-law should come back early as well."
