Chapter 382 Ideological Education!
Although Qin Huairu really wanted to arrange a job for her two brothers from her mother's side, she knew that this was simply impossible to achieve in the short term. Qin Huairu felt helpless when she saw the expressions of Qin Dajun and his wife.
Thinking of what Jia Dongming had told her before she set out in the morning, Qin Huairu said to Qin Xiaojun, "Xiaojun! Today is the 23rd. On the 29th, you will come to my house in the city. I will take you to the steel mill to report. During this time, think carefully about what kind of job you want to do after you come to the city. I will ask Banggeng's uncle to find a way to arrange it for you."
"Also, when you get your salary every month, you have to hand over 10 yuan to your family as a subsidy for the family expenses. After all, when you move to the city, the family will lose a laborer. You can't just dump all the burdens on your brother."
Qin Xiaojun nodded immediately after hearing Qin Huairu's instructions and replied, "Sister! I understand. After I start working, I will give ten yuan to our family every month to support our father and mother in their old age."
"Huai Ru! That damn girl Jing Ru said that you were going to take her to the city to play for a few days. Is that true?" Qin Xiaojun's words had just fallen when Qin Jing Ru's parents followed behind Qin Jing Ru and walked into the Qin family courtyard from outside. When Qin Jing Ru's mother saw Qin Huai Ru, she immediately asked Qin Huai Ru.
When Qin Huairu heard what Qin Jingru's mother asked and saw the embarrassed expression on her face, she smiled and replied, "Aunt San! Jingru said that she has never been to the city since she was a child. In the past, our family was not well off. Jingru wanted to go to the city to play, but I didn't dare to agree to take her. Now that our family is well off, you can let Jingru go to the city with me to play for a few days, just as a way to see the world!"
When Qin Jingru heard what Qin Huairu said, she immediately said to her parents happily: "Dad! Mom! Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? My sister really agreed to take me to the city to play for a few days."
Qin Jingru's father, upon hearing what Qin Jingru said, smiled and said to Qin Huairu: "Huairu! If Jingru dares not to listen to you after she comes to the city, you will punish her severely."
When Qin Jingru heard what her father said to Qin Huairu, she immediately assured her father, "Dad! Mom! Don't worry, I promise to listen to my sister after we enter the city."
Qin Huairu looked up at the sun in the sky and said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru! It's getting late. Go home and pack your luggage. We will set out into the city right away."
Qin Jingru heard Qin Huairu's instructions and immediately replied, "Sister! I have packed my luggage. Please wait for me for a while. I will go home to get it now."
When Qin's father saw that Qin Huairu was going back to the city, he immediately told Qin's mother, "Mother! Go back to the house quickly and take out the dried mushrooms we just brought back from the mountain last time. Let Huairu take them back and let her in-laws and Banggeng's uncle taste them."
At the Jia family's side in the courtyard, since today was a day off, Jia Dongming slept until after eight o'clock in the morning before waking up from his sleep.
After a simple wash, Jia Dongming walked out of the room and saw Jia Zhang sitting at the door of the main hall sewing shoe soles. He smiled and asked Jia Zhang, "Mom! Where are Qiuyue and the others?"
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's question, she didn't even raise her head. She smiled and introduced to Jia Dongming, "Qiuyue and her sister, took Banggeng and Xiaodang out to play. Qiuyue will heat up your breakfast in the pot. Go and have some."
When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Zhang said, he thought about the work quota and immediately instructed Jia Zhang: "Mom! Today is a day off. Huaihua is at home and I will help take care of her. Go find someone to send a message to my uncle and my first and second uncles, asking them to come to the city in the next two days."
When Jia Zhang heard what Jia Dongming said, she immediately understood what he meant, and said to him, "Dongming! Postman Zhan is definitely not at home now. I will go to postman Zhan's house in the evening and ask him to help take a letter with him when he goes to the countryside to deliver letters." After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Jia Dongming turned and walked into the kitchen, stood directly in front of the stove, ate something simple, and then walked out of the yard.
When Jia Dongming walked to the central courtyard, he saw Sha Zhu sitting on a low stool, watching Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong playing chess. Some women in the courtyard were gathered in front of the faucet to wash clothes, while others were cutting clothes or sewing shoe soles at their doorsteps.
Several women who were washing clothes saw Jia Dongming coming out of the courtyard and greeted him politely.
When Jia Dongming saw his neighbors greeting him, he showed no airs of a leader and also greeted them very humbly.
Sha Zhu, who was watching a chess game, heard the conversation behind him and instinctively turned his head to see Jia Dongming greeting the aunties in the yard. He immediately smiled and asked Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Why did you get up so late today? Are you planning to go out?"
When Jia Dongming heard Sha Zhu's question, he smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! I've been quite busy recently and haven't had a good rest. Today is my day off, so I stayed in bed for a while. Now that it's still early, I'll go out for a walk and buy some vegetables from the market."
Liu Haizhong, who was playing chess, heard Jia Dongming's words and quickly said to him, "Dongming! Our men's responsibility is to make money to support the family. As for things like buying groceries and cooking, it should be the responsibility of women."
The concept of men and women in this era is mainly manifested in the idea that men are superior to women. Men occupy a dominant position in the family and society, while women are in a subordinate position. The idea of men being superior to women is even more reflected in the marriage system.
The fact that Liu Haizhong indulges the eldest child in the family and uses the second and third children as punching bags every day is enough to show that these feudal ideas of seniority have long been deeply rooted in Liu Haizhong's mind.
When Jia Dongming heard what Liu Haizhong said, he smiled and corrected him, "Second Uncle! This is a new society and a new era. Great men have said that women hold up half the sky. The old ideas of men being superior to women are unacceptable."
"Especially those of us who are cadres, we must set an example for our families and friends. If you want to make progress, you must correct your thinking, so that you will have a chance to make progress."
When Liu Haizhong heard the word "progress", he immediately became excited and even stopped playing chess. He quickly asked Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Is what you said true? As long as I change my mindset, I will have the opportunity to make progress in the future?"
When Jia Dongming heard Liu Haizhong's question and saw the expectant expression on Liu Haizhong's face, he smiled and said to Liu Haizhong, "Second Uncle! I heard that you listen to the radio and read newspapers every day. Isn't it clear on the radio and newspapers?"
When Liu Haizhong heard Jia Dongming's question and thought of the broadcasts he usually heard on the radio, he suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment and said to Jia Dongming quickly: "Dongming! You are right. The broadcast on the radio did mention this aspect. In the future, I must humbly correct my mistakes, and must firmly listen to D's words, follow D, and constantly improve myself."
