The next day, Xiao Xing went home on the grounds that there was something at home.

Although his brother moved the headquarters to the town, the town branch was left to him, so his main job was still in the town, and he just went to help in the past two days, but he took the initiative to ask for it.

This time, Xiao Xing went home not to go back to the town to work, but to his parents' house in Chengbei Village.

When Xiao Xing arrived home, he was just in time for lunch at home.

Mrs. Xiao was very happy to see him come back, and hurriedly brought him dishes and chopsticks, he was busy with his mother, "Mom, don't worry, I have something to ask you!" ”

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it after eating. Mrs. Xiao said.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, let's go into the house and talk." Xiao Xing looked mysterious.

Leaving the old man Xiao and Xiao Xing's son at the dinner table, they entered the east room, the mother and son sat down, Xiao Xing said, "Mom, did you remember what I asked you last time?" ”

Mrs. Xiao instinctively felt a little weak when she heard her son mention what happened last time, she shrank her neck and pretended to be stupid, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Xing was puzzled, "No, the last time I came back to tell you, about my eldest brother, let you think about it, does he have a golden lock." ”

"What kind of golden lock, what can your eldest brother do, it's okay, hurry up and go out to eat." Mrs. Xiao began to avoid the topic.

She still remembers that when her youngest son came back a few days ago, he began to ask some questions about the boss, and after asking back and forth, she knew that the eldest had picked it up, and the third child already knew.

The boss was picked up by her wife when she went to the city to work, but it was not their county seat, but a relatively prosperous small county town hundreds of miles away, which was very close to the capital, so the economic development was good.

Those years were hard! Her family really couldn't get by, she couldn't even eat, so her wife had to go out to work, who knew how much money she didn't make, and came back with a boy.

At that time, she had been married for several years, and she had never given birth to a son and a half daughter, and the people in the village had a lot of gossip, and the old man Xiao would go out to work and be dissatisfied with her.

But she never expected that the other party could come back with a child, her first reaction was that Old Man Xiao thought she couldn't give birth, and found a woman outside to give birth to him, she was not easy to mess with at home, she didn't think that it was her own problem that she couldn't have children, didn't the country say it, having a child has more to do with men.

So not having a child is not her problem alone, when Old Man Xiao brought the child back, she didn't care about the jokes of the villagers, and directly made a fuss, scolding him for having no conscience, Chen Shimei, and finally directly fought with him, Old Man Xiao had no choice but to close the door, told her the truth, and said that the child was picked up.

Naturally, she didn't believe it, she said that you would be so kind, you are almost out of food, you will pick up a child to raise, and say that it is your own?

Old man Xiao said that with him, there will be food.

Then he found something golden, and she was stunned when she saw it, it was gold.

Then she knew that the old man Xiao didn't want to pick it up when he saw the child, but when he saw the child, he fell down and helped him, and then he saw the gold lock hanging around his neck and hiding in his clothes.

When people asked him, he said that the child was his own, and he actually had another plan, that is, he felt that he had no children, and he could point to him to support the elderly in the future, and as the old saying goes, raising a son can recruit a son, maybe he can recruit a child if he raises this child, so he made up his mind to bring the child back.

"Mom, so my eldest brother really wasn't born to you?" Xiao Xing asked knowingly.

"Didn't you already know, what are you asking? I tell you that you don't want to think about the golden lock, your father keeps it as a family heirloom, how can I give it to you? Mrs. Xiao said unhappily.

In fact, when they first got the golden lock, they also thought about selling it, after all, life was hard at that time!

But Old Man Xiao worked at that time to earn a little money, and he could still make a living, and he was not really at the point of running out of food, and the second was that the golden lock was very exquisitely made, which was not something that ordinary craftsmen could make, so they were worried about the origin, so they never moved.

I really keep it as if it were a family heirloom.

But the third child of her family came back and asked her for this golden lock, she has been pretending to be stupid, I don't know how the third child would know such a thing, in fact, the most painful thing in her family is the third child, usually he will not stop anything he wants, but she always feels that it is unstable to take out this thing, after all, after all these years, they have all come over, there is no need to make something.

"Mom, don't worry, I don't want to exchange money for money, I'm of great use, you give it to me quickly!" Xiao Xing said solemnly.

"What does this lock have to do with you, and what is your use?" Mrs. Xiao said disapprovingly.

"Hurry out to eat, what are you doing in the house!" Old man Xiao sat at the table for a long time and didn't serve him food, and his temper came up.

Mrs. Xiao agreed, and she was going out, Xiao Xing had to wait until he finished eating.

Finally after eating, in the evening he found another opportunity to ask her mother for a golden lock, she was annoyed a little impatient, "What's the matter with you kid, you see that your eldest brother is now in the company to open one room after another, and give you a steward, you just hurry up and follow him, it's okay to keep thinking about this lock for?" ”

Mrs. Xiao said a deeper thought, in the past, the boss of the Xiao family was just a farmer, at most he knew how to make carpenters, and she also took it to heart, but the boss is different, he is promising, he has a big ability, the company is about to open to Linzhen, so many people work for him, and his daughter-in-law actually became a leader in the canning factory in Chenjiang, managing the old people.

Since the opening of the cannery, it has solved the employment problems of many nearby villages, and now it is a source of livelihood for many families, after all, the factory is much more comfortable to work than to work in the field.

Originally, when the factory was first built, there were not many people, but the salary was good, and it was enough to pack two meals, one at noon, and eat home at night, and there was actually this good thing, when I wanted to enter the factory to work, but I squeezed my head, but people were selected to admit the best, and then the canned food produced by the factory became more and more popular, and more and more people also needed it.

At that time, I heard that I was going to build a new factory in the city, and many people were panicked and worried about losing such a good job, but they didn't expect to go to the city to build a new factory.

Then it is happy, the factory is getting bigger and bigger, their treatment is getting better and better, since they entered the factory to work, the factory is getting busier and busier, the benefits are getting better and better, Chen Jiang is not a week, the first time the benefits are good, the first time is to think of giving bonuses to everyone, improve the treatment, the enthusiasm of the workers to work is unprecedentedly high, and Chen Jiang is really a good boss.

And the eldest daughter-in-law is in charge of technology in this factory, when the second daughter-in-law wanted to work in the factory without an interview, she still wanted to give up her old face and talk to the eldest daughter-in-law, but before the words came out, her eldest son blocked back.

That's it, after all, the kid is still working at the boss, and he has become a leader.

Because Mrs. Xiao was very afraid that if something happened to the boss, the third child would run out to fight something, and she would not come back for several years, and she still loved this little son the most in her heart.

Xiao Xing was forced to be helpless, so he had to tell the truth, he grabbed Mrs. Xiao who was about to come out, lowered his voice and said, "Mom, in fact, I want this lock because of my eldest brother?" ”

Mrs. Xiao's eyelids jumped, and her eyes widened and asked, "What do you know?" She instinctively thought that this golden lock was related to the boss's life experience, but she didn't dare to think about it, she had raised it for so many years, not to mention how good it was, she finally grew her ability, and if she was snatched away again, it would be really bad.

Xiao Xing lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, "Mom, in fact, the eldest brother is not born to you, I already knew about this." ”

Mrs. Xiao had such an expression, but still asked, "When did you know?" How do you know? ”

Xiao Xing said, "I knew it when I was a child, when I was in junior high school, I came home from vacation, got up at night, listened to you and my dad outside the window, and then saw the golden lock." ”

Then he continued, "It's useless to say this now, my coming back this time is actually related to my eldest brother's background, I feel as if I know my eldest brother's background.... ”

"What did you say?" At this time, Old Man Xiao came in from the outhouse.

He finished the usual two taels of wine in the outhouse and was ready to eat, but his wife and his youngest son were chattering in the house for a long time and didn't know what to say, so he was a little impatient, and he couldn't finish eating before speaking.

Then he got up and wanted to call the two out, but before he entered the house, he heard the only secret of the family in the mouths of the two, and said that he knew the life of the boss, so he immediately went into the house and asked.
