At noon that day, Ding Hongxing came home from school, went to the game hall on the way, stayed for a while, and went home when he saw that there was nothing to do.

When he returned home, Ding Hongxing saw his uncle Shen Wangshui and his cousin Shen Fucai sitting in the living room, and at their feet were two old hens with their feet tied, as well as a few fish, which should have been brought by them.

My uncle's house is on the outskirts of Guicheng, not far from the city, only a few kilometers, but he doesn't come much, because the things in the fields are too busy.

Cousin Shen Fucai is twenty-one years old this year, has studied high school, graduated from high school a few years ago, did not be admitted to any school, and is now unemployed at home, but he has suffered from polio since he was a child, and his legs and feet are a little inconvenient, so he can't find any work in the city, and he can't do any work in the fields.

Ding Hongxing called "uncle" and "cousin", and the two responded separately.

Shen Wangshui put out a cigarette butt that had almost reached the filter on the sole of his shoe and said, "Hongxing, are you out of school?" ”

Ding Hongxing nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, you haven't been to my house for a long time!" ”

Shen Wangshui sneered: "Well, the family is busy. Didn't you hear that your dad was the workshop director? I brought something with your cousin, and when I got promoted, my relatives had to come and congratulate me. ”

Ding Hongxing knew why his uncle came when he heard it, Shen Fucai has been idle at home since graduating from high school, and it is naturally rare to find a daughter-in-law under the conditions of the Shen family, and Shen Wangshui is also anxious.

Shen Wangshui came to Ding's house a few times in the past two years, and wanted Ding Yuejin to help Shen Fucai find a job, but at that time, how easy was it to find a job? Ding Yuejin is just a deputy director of the workshop, Shen Fucai is not a town hukou, it is difficult to enter the Red Star Factory, besides, Shen Fucai's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he can't do it if he wants to be a temporary worker, unless he is sitting in the office, with Shen Fucai's culture, he can do it, but such a good thing is naturally accounted for by the factory leaders, which round to get Shen Fucai?

Ding Yuejin mentioned it to the factory leaders twice, but there was nothing to do, and he couldn't help it, and after that, Shen Wangshan rarely came to Ding's house, and the last time he came was last year.

This time, it is estimated that Shen Wangshan heard that this brother-in-law had been promoted to workshop director, so he rose hope again, so he brought his son here again.

Ding Hongxing is not disgusted with this kind of thing, relatives, if he can, he can help, but he also knows that his father really doesn't have that ability.

In the previous life, after the sacrifice of his father, the life of the Ding family deteriorated, the life of the Shen family was thriving, Shen Wangshui dug a fish pond to raise fish, Shen Fucai went to Guicheng City to open a clothing store, he is educated, his mind is also flexible, and the business is also doing well, the Shen family has not forgotten the relatives of the Ding family, and has helped them a lot, Ding Hongxing was able to finish college, and the help of these relatives is also inseparable, so Ding Hongxing is also very grateful to them in his heart.

Shen Shuzhen was cooking in the kitchen, Ding Yuejin was smoking with his eldest brother in the hall, and Ding Hongxing was talking with Shen Fucai.

Shen Fucai is a young man with a lot of brains, but unfortunately he had polio, and he didn't play well in the college entrance examination, and now he has only fallen into this step, so his love is somewhat low, Ding Hongxing knows his mood, and he also tries his best to solve his feelings.

Ding Hongxing knew that even if his father could arrange his cousin into the Red Star Factory now, he wouldn't be able to work for a few years, and the salary was not high, he was wondering if he could let his cousin go to the game hall to help, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea again, the game hall has Chen Jianxin's two sons, plus Chen Jianxin's nephew Chen Aimin, it is enough. If he has to stuff his cousin in, if he doesn't get it right, it will make Chen Jianxin misunderstand what other thoughts he has, but it is not beautiful.

It seems that he can only wait for some good opportunity to help his cousin do some business on his own, anyway, he was a business person in his previous life and has a talent in this area.

The father and son of the Ding family accompanied the father and son of the Shen family and talked for a while, Shen Shuzhen finished the meal, everyone worked together, brought the dishes to the table, and began to eat.

Ding Yuejin accompanied Shen Wangshui to drink, Shen Wangshui is a person who likes wine very much, but Shen Fucai doesn't drink, he takes a bowl of rice and eats it.

After drinking three glasses of wine, Shen Wangshui Ai Ai opened his mouth: "Yuejin, you became the workshop director, your work is quite smooth, right?" ”

Ding Yuejin said: "It's okay!" ”

It can only be okay, now the factory is not in good condition, the workers are disheartened, there is no spirit, although Ding Yuejin has a certain prestige among the workers, but he has just taken office, and it is freezing three feet, not a day's cold, he alone can not reverse the overall situation.

Shen Wangshui sneered and said: "Yuejin, Fucai is idle at home every day, it's not a thing!" ”

Ding Yuejin said: "Brother, I know what you mean, but there is really no suitable position for Fucai in the factory now, if there is, I will definitely take Fucai to heart." ”

Shen Wangshui could only drink sullenly.

Shen Shuzhen hurriedly said: "Big brother, it's not that Yuejin won't help you, he just became the director of the workshop, and he went to a new workshop, the situation is not familiar, and the current situation of the factory is not very good, if you have the opportunity to Yuejin, you will definitely help Fucai." ”

Shen Wangshui nodded, but he still couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

This meal ended in this dull atmosphere, Shen Wangshui said goodbye after eating, Shen Shuzhen wanted to stay, but Shen Wangshui said: "We have to walk back, Fucai's legs and feet are inconvenient, we have to walk for a long time, we can't wait, and we still have to weed in the field!" ”

Shen Shuzhen saw that she couldn't keep it, so she could only send the Shen family father and son out of the house, and Ding Hongxing took the initiative to send them out of the factory.

When he returned home, Ding Hongxing heard his mother say to his father: "I know you have difficulties, but you also have to have a snack on this matter." It's not easy for the eldest brother's family, and Fucai has to find a way out for him like this, right? I'm the only one in our family who works in the city, and you're the most promising, who don't we help? ”

Ding Yuejin said: "You don't know what the situation is in the factory now, don't say that I don't have the ability to arrange Fucai now, even if I arrange Fucai in?" Maybe I'll be laid off in a few years! ”

Of course, Shen Shuzhen knew that what her husband said was right, but she really couldn't turn a blind eye to the situation of her brother's family, and the chickens and fish that her brother brought were still there, she tried her best to let her brother take them back, but my brother refused. She said to Ding Yuejin: "Let's just try our best to help, how to look at his own creation in the future, you take some things to Secretary Gong's house, and see if he has any methods, right?" ”

Ding Yuejin frowned, it is said that Gong Jingtian has the ability to help with this, but Gong Jingtian is a decent person, his own daughter Gong Lili is now unemployed at home after graduating from high school, and he did not use his authority to arrange his daughter into the factory, is it appropriate to ask him himself?

Ding Hongxing knew his father's difficulties, and he said to his mother: "Mom, it's not appropriate to go to Secretary Gong, Sister Lili herself is unemployed at home!" ”

Shen Shuzhen thought of this problem at this time, and suddenly she was out of line, she knew that except for Gong Jingtian, let Ding Yuejin go to other factory leaders, he would never refuse, and she was out of line all of a sudden.

Ding Hongxing said again: "It won't have much future if Brother Fucai enters the factory now, I don't think he will enter the factory." ”

Shen Shuzhen said: "Then what should you do?" ”

Shen Shuzhen also has great hopes for Ding Hongxing, because since this summer vacation, Ding Hongxing has suddenly become a lot more sensible, as if he grew up overnight, and recently he has become the third pillar of the family financially, and the money he earns from odd jobs has been handed over to the family for more than 100 this month, almost catching up with Ding Yuejin's income, and his right to speak at home has of course been greatly improved.

Ding Hongxing pondered for a moment and said, "I think Brother Fucai is educated and has brains, and there is a chance that he can do some small business." ”

"Start a small business?" Shen Shuzhen and Ding Yuejin looked at each other, why did this idea sound so unreliable?

Not to mention that in this era, in the hearts of most people, doing business is not a serious job, let's talk about Shen Fucai, because he has had polio since he was a child, and his legs and feet have always been inflexible, so in the eyes of his family and relatives, he has always been a weak person who needs to be taken care of, such a person does a good business?

Ding Hongxing nodded affirmatively.

Shen Shuzhen said: "I think it's better to find a proper job." ”

Ding Hongxing said: "You have an old concept, the country is now reforming and opening up, encouraging independent entrepreneurship, that is, encouraging the development of private enterprises, doing small business is also a kind of private enterprise, maybe Brother Fucai will be able to be a big boss in the future." ”

Ding Yuejin spoke: "You still have a point, I recently read the newspaper, and it said that some people should be encouraged to get rich first and let them start their own businesses." But Fucai doesn't have much capital to do business, so it's also a problem to do business! ”

Ding Hongxing said: "Don't worry about this, my boss is very good and capable, when the time comes, I will consult him to see what kind of business is reliable now, and I can also borrow some money from him to make capital." Now to start a small business, he can start it for a few hundred or thousands of dollars, and if he doesn't have much capital, he will definitely be willing to borrow it. ”

Hearing his son mention his boss, Ding Yuejin and his wife nodded, they have always been very grateful to their son's boss, his son, a middle school student, who does odd jobs with him, and gives so much wages, this boss's business is indeed doing well, and the people are also very good.
