Chapter 486 Crying
Chapter 486 Crying
Zhao Sixiang didn't say anything about going out to meet a young man for half a month.
Lu Yumei began to take care of her cousin and carried him out to visit friends and relatives.
In an alley, everyone was standing at the intersection at the entrance of the alley, and those who were chatting were all unemployed people.
There are old people and young people.
Lu Yumei has an oval face and big eyes, and she looks blessed.
This is what the elderly often say: a full forehead, a broad and square face.
Since he was a new face, everyone naturally wanted to ask about his situation.
Aunt Ma was chattering, "Yumei, why did you carry Xiaobao out today?"
"My second sister is basking in the sun at home." Lu Yumei said with a smile, weighing her cousin in her arms.
"How old are you this year? Have you made a promise to someone back home?"
"No, my grandparents want to keep us here for a few more years." Lu Yumei pretended to be shy.
"Doesn't your uncle plan to arrange a job for you? The sanitary napkin factory hired a lot of female comrades after it started operating some time ago." Aunt Qian wanted to see how Lu Changzheng would arrange a job for his niece. If Lu Changzheng was willing to make an arrangement, he could marry one of the two girls to his son or nephew from his mother's side.
"How soon? I don't know." Lu Yumei was extremely surprised. She also said that if there were no job opportunities, how could everyone know about it? How could they not know about it? They just didn't want to arrange it for themselves.
"Before you came, you came a little late. The recruitment requirements said that only locals are needed, and you are not one of them." I don't know who said this.
Why can leaders use their own relatives to influence others?
Director Gu didn't make any arrangements for anyone from Jiangjia Village.
I don’t know whether the people in Jiangjia Village will tamper with the Jiang family’s tomb.
Lu Yumei sat for a while and then went home carrying her sleeping cousin.
Start thinking about how to ask my uncle for help.
Lu Changzheng came back from work at noon.
Lu Yumei knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle, I know you think that girls like me who come from the countryside and can't even read will be a burden to you. But how can I live if I don't come to Jiangcheng?"
"If you're lucky, you can marry someone from our village. We almost married someone from the next village, or even further away to another village. Get married, have children, and then have the children live the same life?"
"I also want to fight for myself, so I asked my grandparents. Uncle, wouldn't it also help stabilize your relationship if Hongmei and I marry into good families?"
"Village Chief Zhang's daughter married into the town's chemical factory. Didn't all the farmers in her family move to the city with her? I want to go to the city, too. I want to be like my aunt, wearing clean clothes and going to work in a factory."
"I also want to be a city dweller. I want to stay here. I don't want to go back. I don't want to go back to my hometown. Uncle, please help me. My last name is Lu. I haven't married yet. I am still like spilled water."
"I can help. I'll marry whoever you tell me to, as long as I can stay in the city. I don't want to work in the fields anymore. It's too hard."
Lu Changzheng watched his eldest niece cry and howl at first, then go crazy and finally shut up.
"Don't I want to find a good family for you? But that requires someone to be interested in you. There are seventy or eighty people in our unit, and no one is willing. When I have time, I'll ask my old comrades. If you marry into the military region, you can transfer your household registration."
"If it's like ordinary people in Jiangcheng, even if you give birth to a child, the child will still have your rural household registration. That would be meaningless."
Lu Yumei knew and understood what Lu Changzheng said, but she had been deceiving herself, thinking that with the help of her uncle, she would eventually have a job and someone would be willing to marry her.
My hometown is not a big place. If you ask around among the families there are at least eight or nine of them.
If it weren't for the sake of my future life, my hometown would actually be more familiar to me.
Before coming to Jiangcheng, the farthest Lu Yumei had ever been was to the town, where she went with her grandmother and mother to buy New Year's goods for the family.
In Lu Yumei's mind, the situation in Jiangcheng and the town should be similar. She even thought so when she got on the train to the city, and the train headed north.
The scenery became increasingly desolate.
Lu Yumei began to regret it, but when she got off Jiangcheng Railway Station, the morning sun was shining on the earth, and there were cement roads and red brick houses everywhere.
The car driven by my uncle had a spacious area outside the street, which I had never seen before.
At that moment, Lu Yumei made up her mind to stay in Jiangcheng.
In the future, I will be able to step on this clean land.
Now I have no job.
Then get married.
Lu Yumei didn't tell anyone about her plan.
Prepare to act on your own.
Lu Hongmei had already made plans. Since she couldn't marry a city man, a village man would also be fine.
Lu Hongmei has been despised by her parents for being stupid since she was a child.
Deep down, I think I am stupid.
However, Lu Hongmei never dreamed of marrying into the city, she just wanted to live a down-to-earth life.
What's more, before finding a suitable candidate, it is better to keep an eye on my little cousin first.
Just like looking after my younger brother back home, I think that if I look after my younger brother, he will be a useful person.
During the day, I look after my younger brother, clean the house, and wash my cousins' dirty clothes.
Take care of the vegetable garden.
There is no work to do at home.
Zhao Sixiang observed the situation and thought about the training program announced by the factory. After returning to pick up her youngest son, she said to her second niece, "Come on, wait for me to go to school. Did you go to the village literacy class when it started?"
Lu Hongmei locked the door and followed her aunt to the school. "I went there and studied. There were a lot of educated youth in our village. From the first five, we had 46 educated youth in the village later. We took turns to attend classes. I went whenever I had time."
"He Zhiqing said that my level was just enough to get a primary school diploma, but there was no school in our village. If I went to the commune to take the exam, they wouldn't be willing to issue a diploma specifically for someone like me who had never been to school."
"Really? Is He Zhiqing a lesbian or a gay?" Zhao Sixiang also felt like gossiping.
"She's a lesbian. She's also a poor person. She graduated from junior high school at 17 and went to the countryside. After arriving in our village, she had to send grain back to the city after saving up work points. She's the eldest in her family, and He Zhaocai is her name."
"Because she had to send food home, no one in our village was willing to marry her. After the college entrance examination was resumed last year, she took it and returned to the city."
"In that case, we'll go directly to the principal and ask him to find a set of questions for you to do. Then after registration, we'll issue a graduation certificate together with this year's elementary school students." Zhao Sixiang looked at her taciturn niece. Not bad, she would graduate from junior high school in two more years.
