Bincheng, Jiang Xueyu's home. At around eight o'clock in the evening, shortly after the family of three had dinner, Jiang Xueyu did not return to her house.

She didn't get off the table, she still sat at the table, no matter how she looked at it, she felt very unpleasant and shabby. I blurted out: "Let's move!"

Mother Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly recovered and said, "We live here well, why do we want to move?"

"I don't want my current colleagues to know that they live in a poor place here. If that's the case, it's a shame. Jiang Xueyu said directly with a hint of resentment.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother immediately fell into silence. They are the older generation of working class people who grew up here and grew old until they are getting older. Even if life is better than before, it will never be able to change the saving habit that has long been forced to develop by reality.

Jiang's mother's maiden home is not too far from here, and the marriage of someone's child to someone's child, whether in the past or now, is much the same, in line with the most traditional concept of the right person in China.

Not to mention that when the old couple was young, even if they got married, they were still crowded together. At that time, they lived in one bedroom in the inner room, and Jiang Xueyu's grandparents moved to the outhouse.

It is both a living room and a dining room. According to the current version, the two-bedroom and one-living room bungalow was built, with one bedroom for Jiang Xueyan's family and the other for Jiang Xueyu's family.

Later, Jiang Xueyan's family became developed in the eyes of the neighbors, so she naturally moved away. Their family was in the old and dilapidated room that was crowded with three people in the past, and it was given to Jiang Xueyu's family.

In addition, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang died one after another. Since then, his Jiang Xueyu's family has a living room, his parents have a bedroom, and Jiang Xueyu also has a bedroom.

Otherwise, a family of three would still be nested in one house. There are a lot of people like this in this area. They're the natives of the city, so what?

This is at the bottom of society, but it is much better than the rural people who go to the city to work with their bare hands, no education, no technology, and no money.

This is not the most difficult situation. In the era that Jiang's father and Jiang's mother experienced, even the country was poor, not to mention the common people.

In the era they lived in, although the material aspect could not be compared with today, they were still quite balanced in their hearts. Even if some people have begun to get rich, they do not have as much deep resentment as today's young people, denouncing the unfairness of society......

After all, the eighties and nineties of the last century were the best time to be full of opportunities. It's just that the common people are generally too conservative and can't turn their minds, and the vast majority of people choose to stick to the original factory.

In 1998, the first wave of layoffs in the country appeared, and the hardest-hit area was in the northeast. Factories closed one after another, and workers began to go home.

Jiang Xueyu's family was not spared. After Jiang's father and Jiang's mother got a little seniority to buy out the money, they began to go to society to fend for themselves. Once you miss the best of times, it's hard to change it.

In this difficult period, many ordinary families can not eat meat once a month, but it is good that the family can eat enough and not go hungry, and continue to live as usual.

"Otherwise, let's just buy a house!" Jiang Xueyu said when she saw that her parents were silent, and explained the plan she had hatched to buy a house.

"Buying a house? It is best for us to wait for the government to come and move. Even if you want to buy a house, you can't come up with the money now!

When you were in college, our old couple continued to pay social security every year, which not only exhausted us, but you also know that our family also borrowed money from your cousin's family, and we have not paid it back yet.

Now that you're working, Mom doesn't say that you take the money out to support your family. At the very least, it saves you the cost of tuition and living expenses. Your father's plan and I is to pay back your cousin's money as soon as possible. With all conscience, your cousin's family has helped us enough. ”

Jiang's mother couldn't accept her daughter's step too big. She unreservedly said what she had been thinking about.

Jiang Xueyu has been working for a while, and she can't help but start to swell up a little. What she saw and heard, it was not something that her original social class could access.

When you have a little sunshine, you start to shine, and when you have a little color, you have to open a dye shop. She had begun to forget who had helped her find a job, and she had the illusion that she was matched by her own abilities.

In fact, Jiang Xueyu does simple and repetitive work in the company. At most, one or two months will be able to get started and become proficient.

The reason why she was not assigned important work was that the other party was still on probation, and everyone knew that she had a background and background.

Jiang Xueyu did not suffer from the deliberate harassment and exclusion of the old employees, and let you do a lot of things in the name of exercise and training, but some people regarded her as a ladder to climb up, and wanted to know the people behind her through her.

"Then I'll move out. Jiang Xueyu made up her mind and said.

"It's not a place where you don't live at home, so why waste money to rent a house?" said Jiang's mother while feeling sorry for the money, but she didn't understand her daughter's thoughts.

Father Jiang, who has never spoken much, can always get to the point once he speaks. He shook his head suddenly and said, "Our family's Erguotou is not as delicious as your cousin's Moutai wine."

Erguotou, I can drink it every day, and Moutai is someone else's, once in a while. If Erguotou has a meal of wine, then after drinking Moutai once, I think I can drink it every day. ”

"Dad, what do you mean?" Jiang Xueyu frowned, very dissatisfied.

"It seems that we can't keep you in this family. Your wings have hardened. Father Jiang shook his head again and said.

"Why can't I go for a better life? I pay for the rent? Jiang Xueyu suddenly stood up and said.

"What are you father and daughter arguing about? I'm not afraid of letting the neighbors hear the joke. Jiang Mu stopped.

"What qualifications do a group of poor people have to laugh at me? Today, the minister told me that if I don't have a passport, I should go and get a passport as soon as possible, and he will take me on a business trip to the island country next month.

In the future, there will be such things going abroad every month. And the people who live here don't go abroad, and they haven't even gone out once.

I was sick when I looked at them. Do you know what I'm most afraid of? I'm afraid they'll see me on the street and come and greet me. Jiang Xueyu said in a loud voice.
