Zhu Zhicheng got into the car and sat in the co-pilot, Susie and Qiao Mu sat in the back seat, and when they got home, several people moved things off the car.

Aunt Zhou greeted her and said with a smile: "Early in the morning, Director Qiao said that you can arrive today and told me to prepare more food." ”

Susie smiled at her, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Qiao Mu instructed her, "Aunt Zhou, my friend Zhu Zhicheng is also going to live at home recently, and you will clean up the guest room downstairs in a while." ”

Before Aunt Zhou could answer, Zhu Zhicheng hurriedly said, "I'll just come by myself." ”

Susie said: "Brother Zhu, you don't know where the quilt in this house is, it's easier for Aunt Zhou to clean up." ”

Aunt Zhou smiled, "Yes, Xiao Zhu, you don't have to worry about bothering me, it's a lot of effort." ”

Zhu Zhicheng said: "Thank you, Aunt Zhou." ”

Aunt Zhou went to clean up the room, Zhu Zhicheng helped send Susie's boxes upstairs, and Susie and Qiao Mu began to unpack the layers of packaging.

Zhu Zhicheng saw that he couldn't help much, "Then I'll go home first." ”

Qiao Mu said: "When you come back, if people ask you, you will say that you live in Qiao Yan's house." ”

Zhu Zhicheng agreed and left.

He hopped on the bus and was soon home.

The alley is still the same, Zhu Zhicheng walked to the door, the door was open, and he hesitated and walked in.

Under the faucet, a young woman was doing laundry, and glanced at Zhu Zhicheng, "Comrade, who are you looking for, why are you quietly trespassing?" ”

Zhu Zhicheng was at a loss, "I'm sorry, I-"

At this time, a voice came from the room, "Who?" Then Zhu Zhicheng's mother, He Lamei, came out of it.

Zhu Zhicheng shouted: "Mom."

He Lamei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Zhicheng! ”

She hadn't seen Zhu Zhicheng for a few years, and at first glance, she almost didn't recognize that this was her son, she just thought it was a man in his thirties.

It's no wonder that her eyes are not good, Zhu Zhicheng's hair is a lot grayer now, and she really didn't recognize it at first.

The young woman who was doing the laundry was Zhu Zhicheng's brother-in-law, and then she realized that this was her eldest uncle who had been in the countryside for more than ten years.

Zhu Zhicheng and her father Zhu Yongqing heard it in the house and hurriedly came out, with a smile on his face, "Zhicheng is back?" Come on in, it's hot outside. ”

Zhu Zhicheng entered the house, and Zhu Yongqing poured a glass of cold boiled water, "Why did you come back at this time, isn't it the busiest time in the countryside?" ”

Zhu Zhicheng was just about to say his plan to go to Hong Kong City, but suddenly changed his mind, "Now that the policy is loose, the educated youth of our production team have basically returned to the city, and I don't want to stay in the countryside anymore." ”

Zhu Yongqing was a little surprised, "What do you mean, you just went home like this?" Why didn't I discuss it with my family in advance, I heard that there are more than 100,000 educated youths who have returned to Beijing now, and there is no way to arrange a job. ”

Zhu Zhicheng lowered his eyes and didn't make a sound.

He Lamei frowned, "What should I do if I come back here, I have no place to live, the key is that you can't transfer your hukou back, you don't even have food, what can you eat without food?" ”

Zhu Zhicheng said slowly: "You are all urban households in the family, and you all have food rations, even if there is one more person, it is almost enough to eat." ”

He Lamei's voice was sharp, "What you said is light, the burden on the family is already heavy, and the whole family will have to eat bran if you add a mouth!" ”

Zhu Zhicheng said in a low voice: "Even if I can't arrange a job for a while, I have the strength, I will find a way to do odd jobs, I can always earn money, and I won't eat white rice at home." ”

Zhu Yongqing sighed, "Zhicheng, you don't know the current situation, I heard from Sister-in-law Liu on the street that now these educated youths are making noise in the street every day, asking for work arrangements and household registration." ”

"There are too many people, and I can't arrange them at all."

"It's just odd jobs, and now I can't get a job to do!"

Zhu Zhicheng turned his head to look at his father, "Then you say, what should I do?" ”

He Lamei hurriedly said: "What should I do?" I think I'd better go back to the countryside. ”

"It's better to have a place to live in the countryside, have something to eat, and still have a little money a year than to have no money at home."

Zhu Zhicheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, he temporarily wanted to test his parents' attitude towards him going home.

The last time he returned to the horn production team from home, he still sent money to the family after the autumn harvest every year, his father's retirement salary was not much, his sister had to study, and his mother had no job, so he felt that as the eldest son, he still had to bear what he should bear.

It's just that he didn't sell blood anymore, and he didn't treat himself as hard as before.

He didn't expect his parents to have such an attitude towards him when he came home, and he thought that they would pity him a little for the sake of him for so many years in the countryside.

He didn't dare to think that if Susie hadn't reached out to help, he would have stood here without any way out today, and how he would live in this home in the future.

Zhu Zhicheng's wry smile gradually changed, and tears slipped from his eyes.

Zhu Yongqing hurriedly said He Lamei, "Alas, the child has just come home, what are you talking about?" ”

"This matter can't be rushed, Zhicheng hasn't been home for a few years, stay for a few days first, and discuss it slowly."

He Lamei snorted, "What to discuss, our family is ordinary people, there is no way, don't even think about arranging work." ”

Zhu Zhicheng raised his teary eyes and looked at He Lamei: "Then you mean that I have to go back to the countryside now?" ”

Zhu Zhicheng's brother-in-law Liang Juan stood by the door and listened to the conversation of several people, and couldn't help but be speechless, this mother-in-law is too ruthless, and the eldest uncle's ass is not hot yet, so she will drive people out.

However, on second thought, it is good for the eldest uncle to go to the countryside for their small family.

At least no one is fighting them for this house.

She married Zhu Zhigao because she took a fancy to their small courtyard, in her own family, the whole family of seven, living in a 30-square-meter house, bumps and bumps for more than 20 years.

Here, they live in a room for the little two, and they are comfortable. There are also two rooms for rent at home, and I can collect more than 20 yuan a month, which is all used as a person's salary.

Mother-in-law usually spoils Zhu Zhigao so much, no matter what food and clothing she wears, she is close to Zhu Zhigao, she really didn't expect that her mother-in-law has such an attitude towards her eldest son.

Liang Juan sympathized with Zhu Zhicheng while congratulating that her husband was the favored one.

Looking at the attitude of my mother-in-law, I am afraid that this house will not have the share of the eldest uncle in the future.

Liang Juan couldn't help but be a little happy.

Zhu Yongqing saw that Zhu Zhicheng was in tears when he saw that he was a big man, and hurriedly played a round, "Zhicheng, don't think about it, your mother didn't mean that, she just said that there are many educated youths who are returning to the city now, and it is difficult to arrange work." ”

He said to He Lamei: "It's almost noon, you roll out more noodles, Zhicheng must be hungry when he comes back so far." ”

He Lamei didn't move.

Zhu Zhicheng wiped away his tears and said calmly: "No need." ”

"Since this family can't accommodate me, I'll go."
