Chapter 43 (Medium)
"Eldest sister is back!" In the hall here, everyone was talking, and in the courtyard outside the house, Cen Limin shouted again. Sure enough, with her shout, Situ Huimin walked into the hall, still carrying two large bags of things in his hand.
"Uncle!" Seeing Cen Huanian coming out of the house, Situ Huimin called out affectionately. Whenever or who was present, the first thing she called was her stepfather.
"Are you back?" Cen Huanian was very happy to see his stepdaughter, "How is the family, and the work is still easy, right?"
"It's all good. Situ Huimin took the teapot handed by Cen Limin and took a few big sips.
"Big sister!" Qi Fuya heard Cen Limin's cry in the house and ushered it out.
"It's Fuya," looking at her brother-in-law, a smile immediately overflowed on Situ Huimin's face, "I know that you have been back for a few days, and because you are busy, I have time to come back to see you today." After a pause, he said: "Your brother-in-law was supposed to come back with me, because the financial department of the Provincial Machinery Department came to the inspection team and couldn't get out, so I had to ask for your forgiveness." But he said that after these two days, he will definitely come back. ”
"Why is he so busy?"
"He has become the chief financial officer of the factory, and he is also the director of the business office, and there are many more things than in the past. Situ Huimin explained, then remembered something, and said to Qi Fuya: "Our factory is in the suburbs, and we don't have time to go to the street, so I can only give you a little old things." As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Qi Fuya.
"What's it, let me see it too. Cen Limin was beside her, begging Qi Fuya to open it.
Qi Fuya unfolded the cloth bag and found that there was a pair of jade earrings inside, which were green and shiny, which was very eye-catching.
"It's too expensive, isn't it? Qi Fuya felt that she couldn't bear it.
"Isn't it just a pair of earrings?" Situ Huimin disagreed with her words, "It was given to my mother by our Situ grandmother, and my mother gave it to me." You're my brother's daughter-in-law, isn't it right to give it to you?"
"Take it. Zheng Wenshu came out of the kitchen, saw this situation, and said to Qi Fuya.
"Then I'll thank the eldest sister!" Faced with such kindness, Qi Fuya felt disrespectful, so she had to obey her fate.
"Family, don't be too polite. Situ Huimin smiled, and then said to Zheng Wenshu: "Mom, I heard that Pragmatic is coming back, I asked someone to buy some Chongyang mushrooms from Qingxi Commune, and the mushroom umbrella is long to cook and eat, and the ones that are not grown are fried with some fungus oil, so that they can take them back to Suzhou and give Fuya's parents a taste of our specialties." ”
"Sister, I'm embarrassed that you're like this. Cen pragmatic glanced at the bag that Situ Huimin put on the ground when he entered the house, and said from the bottom of his heart. He knew that even in Lichuan, a county with half of the mountains and plains, Chongyang mushrooms were very expensive, and a big bag could not be bought without a dozen yuan. For my sister, more than a dozen yuan can be used for their family of three to live for a while.
"What, tell me politely?" Hearing him say this, Situ Huimin joked with him, "Even you are my big man." ”
Hearing this, everyone present, except for the younger Cen Xinrui and Cen Limin, everyone knew that not long after Cen Shishi was born, Zheng Wenshu committed cardiac neurosis and often collapsed, and the responsibility of taking care of the newborn fell to a large extent on Mrs. Cen and Situ Huimin. Pragmatic was a little bigger, and he was caught by Huimin. She is very capable, and she can kick the shuttlecock with her younger brother and her friends, which scares Mrs. Cen a lot.
Although Qi Fuya has never seen such an interesting scene, when she heard Cen Shishi say it when she was in love, she thought it was very interesting at the time, and now it seems that this family is a person who attaches great importance to family affection and loves each other very much. It's really a blessing to be able to marry into such a family.
"Mom, I'll cook, I'll rush back to Qingjiang after eating. After saying that, Situ Huimin volunteered.
"The dishes are ready, just waiting to be fried," Zheng Wenshu said, "What, you still have to go back today?"
"There's still something going on at home, anyway, Pragmatism and Fuya won't leave for a while, and Houhuai and I will come back next week. Hui Min explained. But at this moment, she suddenly said: "Look at me, just look at the pragmatism and Fuya's happiness, and almost forget something important." ”
Hearing her say this, everyone looked at her in unison.
"That's right, next year our factory will recruit a group of general workers, who are lower than skilled workers in terms of physical conditions such as eyes. I told Houhuai that I had to talk to the deputy director in charge of labor and management this time, and I would bring Xinrui back to the city, and I couldn't let him stay alone in the countryside anymore. He agreed. ”
Hearing her say this, everyone didn't squeak for a while. But in their hearts, there is one thing that is the same, that is, Situ Huimin is always thinking about this family, grandma, parents, younger brothers and sisters. It's not easy to think about her, since the end of the year before last when she was transferred from the Lichuan commercial system to the Qingjiang Tractor Factory with her husband, she has been looking for opportunities for Xinrui, and she has always had a string in her head.
"What do ordinary workers do?" or Cen Limin broke the silence first.
"It is the person who is responsible for ordinary work, usually doing some work on the production line that is not technically demanding. Cen pragmatically explained.
"That's a bit condescending for the second brother. Cen Limin is straightforward.
"You can't say that," Qi Fuya said: "The third-in-command of our Light Industry Bureau is a general worker, who used to work as a porter in the factory below, and now the deputy secretary of the party committee is quite good." ”
"How many people can there be?" Cen Limin was still a little worried.
"Then it depends on the individual's creation. Qi Fuya has her own opinion, "As long as people have the ability, they can get ahead anywhere." He paused, looked at everyone, and said: "Mom and Dad are here, and I shouldn't have spoken first about the major events related to my brother's future, but I think Xinrui has been in the countryside for many years. Instead of waiting year after year, it is better to go to the factory according to my sister's arrangement. Seeing that everyone still didn't say anything, he added: "We Suzhou people have a saying: more is better than less, and less is better than now." ”
"Xinrui, I think what your sister-in-law said makes sense. Hearing Qi Fuya say this, Cen Huanian opened his mouth. When Situ Huimin told everyone the news of recruitment, although he didn't squeak like everyone else, he kept thinking. Now that he saw that what Qi Fuya said was reasonable, he expressed his attitude of approval. Not only that, but he also appreciated Qi Fuya's ability to analyze this matter. He felt that his son could marry such a virtuous and intelligent daughter-in-law, which was also his creation.
Seeing that Cen Huanian also recognized Situ Huimin's arrangement, everyone set their sights on Cen Xinrui.
"It's up to the eldest sister. Like my father, listening to everyone's discussions, although Xinrui has not made a sound, his brain has been spinning rapidly. To say, being a general worker is indeed not his ideal way out, and what he hopes most is to be recommended to go to college, but it has been six years since he went to the countryside in early June or September.
If you don't leave now if you have the opportunity, then you really have to be like the saying, "there will be no store after this village", not to mention that this opportunity is provided by the eldest sister to herself, for this opportunity, you can imagine that she is afraid that her brother-in-law will affect her brother-in-law, I don't know how much she has to say, how can she not live up to her sister-brother friendship.
"Of course it's good to have a job, but it's a pity that the second brother taught himself the architectural knowledge. Hearing Cen Xinrui say this, everyone had no objections, only Cen Limin muttered a sentence on the side.
"Let's find a way after entering the factory," Situ Huimin comforted Cen Xinrui: "Limin didn't say that I forgot, XCMG, who lives next door to my house, is the deputy chief of the infrastructure department of the factory, I heard that he graduated from the Department of Architecture of South China Institute of Technology, and when the time comes, I will call your brother-in-law to introduce you, you must be able to talk about it, if he can help you transfer to the infrastructure department after entering the factory, won't the ones you taught yourself work?"
"The building of South China Institute of Technology is very strong. Cen Shipra, who had been listening to everyone's discussions and was thinking about how to give his brother some reference advice, said a word.
"Okay, let's talk about it first, and then I'll talk about lunch after lunch. Seeing this, Zheng Wenshu took the opportunity to say. She was anxious for her eldest daughter to go back, and besides, the old lady was also hungry.
Listening to her words, Situ Huimin, Qi Fuya and Cen Limin immediately took action, setting up tables and chairs, holding dishes and chopsticks, and serving meals together. Because no one's cooking skills can catch up with Zheng Wenshu, and the family, especially Mrs. Cen, is used to the taste of her cooking, so all the dishes are from her. On this day, in order to reunite with her family, she specially made her best plum vegetables with red meat as a base, and when the aroma was overflowing, it made Cen Limin's mouth water.
Because in addition to the red winding meat, there is also Chongyang mushroom soup, especially Situ Huimin found a way out for Cen Xinrui, and the family's lunch was very enjoyable. It's Coco, who has just turned two years old, drinking fresh mushroom soup that she rarely drinks, and she is very happy, and her immature words make everyone very happy.
After eating, Qi Fuya and Cen Limin packed up the tableware and the house, and the two brothers, Cen Pragmatic and Cen Xinrui, sent Situ Huimin to the bus station until the car drove away and turned around.
