Xu Lao Er wore a half-worn Mao suit, which was still the clothes Xu Lao San made when he got married, and he was usually reluctant to wear it, and only those who visited relatives and friends during the New Year and the New Year would change it.

Xu Laosan hadn't made new clothes for many years, most of the clothes were worn and old, and there was no decent, so he set his sights on Xu Laosan's one.

Xu Laosan refused to give it, he went to the old lady to ask for it, what kind of ragged clothes to wear to work to embarrass the old Xu family and so on, so that the old lady pondered for a long time.

This dress went to Xu Lao's second-hand house.

However, the old lady promised Xu Laosan that when Xu Laosan earned his first month's salary at work, she would use the cloth ticket to tear the cloth to make him a new dress.

Xu Lao Er's appearance in a tunic reminded Lin Tong of the image in "The Protagonist and Supporting Role" played by Chen Peisi, and she couldn't help laughing.

Xu Lao Er looked at her, and raised his head very proudly, "What is my sister-in-law laughing at?" ”

"Nothing, a funny thing to think of." Lin Tong perfunctory him, "Well, the second child looks like a dog in this dress." ”

Xu Lao Er blinked, is this a compliment to him? Why doesn't that sound right?

The old lady urged him, "Let's go quickly, it will take a while to get to the town, don't go late on the first day, let the leaders have opinions!" ”

Xu Lao Er and Xu Lao San hurriedly left.

Xu Laosan wanted to accompany his second brother by himself, and he said to the old lady: "In case the factory arranges food and accommodation, the second brother has to find someone to bring the letter back." Why don't I go with it, where is the factory, and it's convenient for us to go to see the second brother in the future. ”

The old lady agreed.

In fact, Xu Laosan has a careful eye in his heart, what if there is a shortage of people in the factory?

What if people don't take a fancy to the second brother and fall in love with him?

Anything is possible!

Xu Shengli went to work in the morning, and the two brothers came as soon as they arrived at the unit. "Brother Xu, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year! It's early! Xu Shengli pointed to the stool, "Sit down for a while, the cement factory will work on the first day today, and we must have a meeting first, let's wait a while and then go." ”

Seeing them sitting honestly, Xu Shengli chatted with them, "There is one more person in the family for the Chinese New Year this year, it must be very lively!" ”

Xu Lao Er pouted, "I don't know what my mother thinks, I have to marry a daughter-in-law that my eldest brother doesn't like." The noisy house is full of chickens and dogs jumping all day long. ”

Xu Shengli twitched the corners of his eyes when he heard this, Xu Lao Er is a fool, and he is quite good at using words.

Listen, the chickens and dogs are jumping out.

"Doesn't my aunt like your sister-in-law very much, look at what you said is scary!"

"Brother Xu, you don't know, this woman is not worried at all, she runs to her mother's house every day, and she doesn't do any work at home, my mother said to her, she is still not convinced, and she talks back to my mother. Tell me, is there such a daughter-in-law? My mom regretted marrying her. Xu Lao Er said with added fuel and vinegar.

Xu Laosan was much smarter, his arm crutches the second brother, and said in a low voice: "Don't say it, that's our sister-in-law!" ”

The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and it is not good to pay attention to it after marrying in and then going out.

Xu Lao Er's body twisted, and he said unhappily: "What are you afraid of?" didn't tell anyone else, Brother Xu is not an outsider. ”

Xu Shengli, hehe, I thought to myself, you don't treat me as an outsider.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Shengli said hello to the unit and led the two to the cement factory.

The cement factory is located in the east of the town, the location is a little off, Xu Shengli showed the two of them the way while walking. "It's a little bit around to the train station. The road turned a corner and went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Looking far away, in fact, our town is not big, easy to find! ”

Huang Xuebing heard that Xu Shengli was coming with someone, and when he patted his head, he almost forgot about it.

That day, he bragged that he could help people arrange work, but he really didn't expect Xu Zhenhua to put down his face and beg him to do something.

It's hard to refuse what he promised, but the factory doesn't need so many people, so he had to refuse a distant relative of a daughter-in-law who promised before, and he was scolded for several days.

"This is Zhenhua's younger brother?" Huang Xuebing glanced at Xu Lao Er, he had no spirit at all, he was a little like a second-rate person in the countryside, but he was the spirit next to him, and he looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is Zhenhua's second brother, Xu Zhenxing. This is the third child of his family, Xu Zhenguo, who came with his second brother to recognize him. ”

Xu Zhenxing bent down and laughed, "Hello Director Huang!" ”

Xu Zhenguo also smiled: "Hello Director Huang, my second brother has taken care of you." ”

Huang Xuebing glanced at the two of them and pulled Xu Shengli to the side, "Hey, how can I look at this little one?" If not, let Xu Laosan come to work! The work here is heavy, I look at the second child like that, I'm afraid I can't do heavy work. ”

Xu Shengli thought, yes, I think so too, but Zhenhua doesn't agree!

"Don't look at the second child's bear-like appearance, he also grew up in the countryside, and he can do any job. It's okay, you can tell him what work you want, this kid is smart! ”

As soon as he said this, Huang Xuebing understood, hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you said so, then I can't say anything else." ”

He looked at Xu Laoer, no matter how he looked at it, it was not as pleasing to his brother next to him, so he walked over and said: "Since Zhenhua asked you to come, I can't say anything else, but let's talk ugly ahead, if you don't do it well, steal and play tricks, then I can't use you, and when the time comes, it's not easy for you to find someone to intercede." ”

"Definitely not, Director Huang, don't worry, I will work hard, and I won't disgrace you and my eldest brother."

This sounds like a thing, Huang Xuebing nodded, and beckoned a foreman to come over, "You just follow this Master Wang, he will arrange work for you, we don't care about food here, workers far away from home bring their own food, and they don't care about accommodation, our factory is not big after all." ”

"Then I won't accompany you, I still have something to do here." ”

"Okay, you know where to look for me. Then we'll go back first. Xu Shengli thought about it and asked Xu Laoer, "Did you bring any money, do you have any money for lunch at noon?" ”

"Yes, my mother gave me food money, Brother Xu, thank you today!" In addition to nodding his head, Xu Lao Er does not look like a good person, and he can say good things.

Xu Laosan was a little disappointed, and looked back at the factory gate, "Brother Xu, you say, is there still a shortage of people in this factory?" ”

Xu Shengli lit a cigarette, "I don't know? Why do you want to go to work like that? Being a temporary worker can be tiring, and the dirty work is basically reserved for temporary workers. ”

"What are you afraid of when you are tired, we farmers are still afraid of hardship?" Xu Laosan said it truthfully, "Who doesn't want to come if they have a salary?" Maybe we can change to a formal one after a few years, then we will be workers by then. ”

Xu Shengli patted him on the shoulder, "Let's see if there is a chance in the future!" ”

It can only be like this, Xu Laosan sighed and muttered, "I can't figure it out, what did my eldest brother think, my second brother, can he do it?" ”

Xu Zhenhua's thoughts were not understood by anyone.
