Chapter 324 7 Era 29
Lan Hanlu washed her hands and face in the basin in the yard. She didn't even bother to shake the water off after she finished. "Then let's go over there, Miss. I'll talk to you all there so we can discuss it."
"Ai Ai, okay." She was a little confused by Lan Hanlu's busy work. She took off her apron and put it directly on the stool, then went out.
The two houses have front and back yards. Usually, there is a door at the back of my uncle's house for easy walking.
They walked over, opened the back door, crossed the garden and went straight into the front yard. My aunt-in-law was watching them build a chicken coop and she was shocked when she saw the two men coming.
I quickly called Li Jing to move the stool.
"Lulu came back in such a hurry. She didn't answer my questions and insisted on coming here to tell them all. It made me very nervous."
Lan Hanlu smiled awkwardly when she heard Aunt Li Er say that, and without waiting for anyone to ask, she quickly said, "My friend in the county heard something. A few days ago, two harvesters were injured while cleaning up at the agricultural machinery station.
One of them needs to be healed, but the other is seriously injured and needs medical treatment, so I'm thinking of selling my job. My friend got a job and is keeping it, so I'm wondering if you guys would like to buy it?
As for whether they would buy it or who they would buy it for, Lan Hanlu didn't say anything further. But everyone present was no fool and naturally knew who it was for.
Aunt Li Er was so excited that her hands were shaking.
"The price shouldn't be too cheap, after all, it's a formal job." She reminded, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Second aunt calmed down and sat on a stool to calculate her family assets. She was a little anxious because her family had many children and few laborers. Although she had some assets when the family was divided, of course, it was not much saved over the years.
Second Grandpa frowned and took a puff of his cigarette. "I still have some coffin money here. If you're in a hurry, take it. A formal job will make at least three or four hundred yuan a year.
You two can make ends meet in two or three years, but work is a long-term endeavor." Everyone understands this, but it takes time.
Okay, you two go back to the second family and collect the money first. If you don’t have enough money, we can all contribute. Hurry up and let Lulu take you there. It will be troublesome if someone gets there first.
The couple went back in a hurry. In the end, everyone pooled together 1500 yuan. Lan Hanlu took them to find Wu Er first, and then went to that house.
Since someone in the family had suffered such an injury, they were naturally gloomy, but there were still many people in the house. When the owner saw Wu Er, he naturally knew that he was here to buy a job.
But the two people sitting on the benches on the ground were also looking for work. The owner wanted 1350 yuan and was in the process of bargaining.
When the second uncle heard this, his hands began to tremble. What the eldest uncle meant was that since they didn't want to bargain, could he sell the job to them immediately?
This was naturally said to Wu Er, but after a few words, he realized that the two people sitting on the ground were related to this family. If they also agreed to pay this amount of money, it would be difficult.
Lan Hanlu thought for a moment and dragged Wu Er out. "Sister, what do you think? If the money you brought isn't enough, I can still scrape together some."
Lan Hanlu said to him, "My dad broke his leg a while ago, and we went to the city to see a doctor. Look, he's back to work now. You know, he does some heavy physical labor."
Wu Er clenched his right fist and clapped it against his left palm, "Sister, don't worry, leave this to me." Then he turned and went into the house to talk to the owner, and finally sold the job to them for 1300 yuan.
But asking my second uncle to accompany the whole family to see a doctor is a small problem. As long as he comes back before the autumn harvest, it won’t be a big deal.
In order to avoid any further complications, the family quickly took Li Zhong to complete the handover procedures. Lan Hanlu took the cross-body bag and after finishing the work, she quickly took out a few boxes of cigarettes and stuffed them into her second brother's hands.
Li Zhong was a bit naive, but he was not ignorant of the world. He endured the embarrassment and gave cigarettes to the people who were doing the work. Everyone's attitude towards him immediately improved by two degrees.
The matter was settled, and it was confirmed that Second Uncle would go to the city with the family tomorrow. Lan Hanlu was a little worried about Second Uncle's character, so she told him.
"My father's last checkup was also thanks to Dr. Huang's care. Second uncle, please bring me some thank you gifts this time so I can thank him properly."
After finishing her work, she hurried back to school and watched her enter the school.
The uncle nudged his younger brother with his elbow rudely, "Lulu is doing a favor for your family, so please be more careful."
"Brother, don't blame me. Of course I understand this. Zhong's mother brought a piece of red fox fur from her parents' home during the Chinese New Year. Then she asked my sister-in-law to help make a hat for Lulu. I heard her tinkering with it last year."
A complete piece of red fox fur is not cheap, and it is cheap only relative to the prices in later generations.
Uncle Li nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, you two can do whatever you want. Don't return the remaining 200 yuan. I still have some cloth coupons to make Zhongzi Dacheng a new set of clothes."
The group returned home in a carriage, and when they got home they had a lot of things to say. Second Aunt immediately found the fox fur and even a piece of silk cloth that she was going to use for her son's wedding.
When she carried the things to the front, she walked with the wind. Having a serious worker in the family finally relieved a big worry in her heart.
Li Zhong officially started working. After the first few days of adaptation, he found that he was strong and not stupid, and was doing well in the unit.
Besides, his father still followed that man to see a doctor, and that man’s apprentice also took good care of him. He also had a dormitory here, mainly because there were not many people in their unit.
But he would also go back during the holidays, take the receipts to exchange for some things, improve the food at home and repay favors.
After all, his relatives had paid for his job. Even though he had paid it back after two years of work, it was not right to let it go.
He got up early in the morning. His mother specially made some dumplings with fish filling, cooked them and put them in the lunch box. He hid them in his arms and went to the county to give them to Lulu first.
The high school entrance was strictly guarded, but luckily the gatekeeper knew him, so he took two handfuls of melon seeds from home and chatted with the gatekeeper at the door.
The old man had already asked someone to notify Lulu. When Lulu ran out, he quickly took out the lunch box from his arms. "My mom made these fish dumplings. They're so delicious. Take them back and eat them with your elder sister."
The eldest sister he was talking about was Li Juan.
"Second brother, it's really troublesome that second aunt always thinks about us." Although the lunch box was not opened, a faint smell wafted out.
"Don't bother with those useless things. Let's go back quickly. It's cold. If it gets any colder, it will start to smell fishy." He said and was about to leave.
