Chapter Seventy-Eight: Thanksgiving returns to Zhang Baotong

After returning to Aunt Hao's house from the cemetery, Xiuxiu was much calmer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis is the first time she has burned paper for the dead since she became an adult, which has made her think more deeply about the meaning of life in the world. When people are alive, they are not greedy enough to fight, but when they die, they are sent to the crematorium and buried in the cemetery, and it is over. When I think about it like this, I feel that life is short, and I should cherish it, what is there to fight for, what is there to fight?

And as for herself, should she live a life like a star, or should she live the life of an ordinary person? She felt that she had a very clear understanding of the problem at this time. What celebrities pursue is people's worship, while ordinary people pursue the essence of life. And people are most stable and steady only when they live for themselves and their loved ones. As for whether others worship you or not, what does it matter if they admire you or not? Thinking about it like this, Xiuxiu felt that her heart suddenly opened up a lot, and her depression and troubles suddenly disappeared.

Xiuxiu knew that Aunt Hao's family's livelihood depended on Uncle Hao running around doing odd jobs to support the family, but as soon as Uncle Hao left, the pillars of the family fell. She asked Aunt Hao, "Auntie, how will you live with Tie Dan in the future?" Aunt Hao shook her head at first, and then said, "No, I'll go find a job to do, or else, I'll pick up the rags." ”

When Xiuxiu heard this, she put her arms around Aunt Hao's neck and said, "Auntie, I won't let you pick up the rags, and in the future, I will cover the living expenses of you and Tiedan." You just cook for Tie Dan at home, and play mahjong to relax when you have nothing to do. As long as I can live, I will definitely let you live too. ”

But Aunt Hao shook her head and said, "Are you the one who is afraid that your aunt will lose you if she picks up the rags?" Xiuxiu said, "No, I think my aunt is a neat and neat person, how can I pick up the rags?" Aunt Hao sighed, "Auntie, what I usually don't like the most is picking up rags, but I haven't worked for many years, and besides, I can't do any work, if I don't pick up rags, what else can I do?" Besides, no matter how hard and poor my aunt is, she can't rely on others to support her, if that's the case, I won't be a parasite? ”

In the next few days, Xiuxiu has been trying to find a way to find work for Aunt Hao. Xiuxiu had looked for work in the past, and knew that it was not easy to find work in this overcrowded city, let alone a middle-aged woman like Aunt Hao, or a young girl from the countryside, who couldn't find work all day long. Therefore, she thought that if she looked for a job through normal channels, it would definitely not work. So, she called Editor Shang, "Editor Shang, do you know anyone on Taihua Road to find a job for Aunt Hao?" ”

Editor Shang said, "I have a very close relationship with Director Zhang of the Taihua Road Sub-district Office, and I have reported on the deeds of their streets. But what can your aunt do? Xiuxiu said, "You can do anything, but you can't be too tired, and she's not too young." ”

Editor Shang called Director Zhang, and replied to Xiuxiu, "Director Zhang said that he could arrange for Aunt Hao to sweep the streets, but the salary was very low, only 240 yuan a month. Xiuxiu thought to herself, how could they live with two hundred and forty yuan a month? Moreover, Tie Dan is in middle school again, and the cost is very large.

But Xiuxiu still said to Editor Shang, "Two hundred and forty is two hundred and forty, anyway, this work is not tiring, and the time is not long, so I will not delay going home to cook for the children." But you have to explain to Director Zhang that Aunt Hao will be paid 440 yuan per month, and I will pay the other 200 yuan. Because Aunt Hao is very stubborn, I gave her 2,000 yuan yesterday, but not only did she not ask for it, but she almost fell out with me. However, this matter must be kept secret by Director Zhang, and no one can know about it. ”

Editor Shang said, "Wenxiu, you are really a good person, a real living Lei Feng." Xiuxiu said, "Even if it's poverty alleviation." People in the city always help the villagers to help the poor, but there are also many poor people in the city. Uncle Hao had a life-saving grace for me when he was alive, and I couldn't help but repay it. Editor Shang said to Xiuxiu again, "I told Director Zhang and asked him to find a way to handle the highest level of subsistence allowance for Aunt Hao." He said no problem. Xiuxiu said, "Thank you so much." ”

Then, Xiuxiu called Aunt Hao and said, "Auntie, I have asked someone to find you a street sweeper job at the Taihua Road Sub-district Office, and I clean it twice a day in the morning and evening, neither delaying cooking for the children nor delaying you playing mahjong." But Aunt Hao immediately said, "Xiu, how can I still have the heart to play mahjong now." Xiuxiu said, "Uncle Hao is gone, and there is no way to do it." If you want to open something, you have to do something. If you are depressed and unhappy, you can't think about it, and if you have three long and two short, what should the child do? You and your children can live well, and Uncle Hao must also feel relieved under Jiuquan. ”

Aunt Hao felt that Xiuxiu's words were reasonable, but Aunt Hao said, "Someone has already gone to the sub-district office to find a job for her, but the salary there is very low, only 240 yuan per month." Xiuxiu said, "Auntie, the job I found for you was found with a lot of connections, it belongs to special care, and the monthly salary is four hundred and forty yuan, but you must not say this to anyone." As soon as you say it, someone will sue you, which will make it very difficult for the leaders of the family. When Aunt Hao heard this, she said happily, "Don't worry, I won't say it if I am killed." ”

On this morning, Xiuxiu had just finished filming the scene where the heroine met her past boyfriend mending shoes at the corner of the street, and a young man from the crew ran to her and said, "Xu Wenxiu, someone came to you, saying that they were your relatives, waiting for you in the communication room." Xiuxiu wondered: Where do I have any relatives here, who will this person be?

So, she took off her makeup, changed her clothes, and hurried to the communication room. When I entered the communication room, I saw that it was my cousin Zhixian. When she didn't see this cousin, she was furious and indignant when she saw it. Speaking of this cousin, she can be regarded as her only relative in the local area, but this relative not only raped her when she was most in danger and needed help, but also bullied and abused her many times and drove her out.

So, she called Zhixian to a place where no one was, and said angrily, "What's the matter with me?" Zhi Xian said angrily, "I heard that you became an actor and became a big star." In the past, I treated you badly, don't take it to heart, in fact, after you left, I regretted it and always wanted to get you back. "Xiuxiu thought to herself, you are looking for me, just to let me continue to be a **** for you. Thinking about it like this, I was even more angry, and said impatiently, "What the hell are you doing, I'm still busy." ”

Zhi Xian said, "Your mother called, saying that your father is very sick and that he is dying, and he wants you to go back and have a look." Xiuxiu said, "I see." When she saw that her cousin was still not leaving, she asked, "What else is wrong with you?" Zhi was bored for a long time before he said, "I have no business in collecting furniture, and I can't do it anymore, can you help me find a job?" ”

When Xiuxiu heard this, she said, "I don't run a factory, how can I find you a job?" You don't like to play mahjong, so you stay in the mahjong parlor all day long to play mahjong, what kind of work do you need to find? Zhi Xian saw Xiuxiu's attitude, and didn't say anything more, and walked away.
