Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Old Mrs. Zhang thought about it for the whole afternoon but couldn't come up with a solution. It was not until her eldest son came back in the evening and told him about it that she came up with an idea.

"Mom, go to the Youth League Office tomorrow to sign up for that girl and tell her that she asked for it. Song Youlin has also signed up to go to the countryside, so if they both go, the job will be ours."

Uncle Song also listened to his son's idea. Although it was not perfect, it had its merits. It would be the simplest to directly sign up Song Shuangshuang for the rural program. The Youth Educated Office would be eager for someone to take the initiative to go to the countryside, so why would they ask so many questions? If they asked, they would say that Song Laosan's family was highly conscious and took the initiative to request it.

Once Song Laosan's family knew about this, they couldn't refuse even if they wanted to.

Old Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up and clapped her hands, "Okay! Tomorrow morning I will go to the Youth League Office to register that damn girl, so that our Yaozu can be a formal employee! When you get married and have a house, grandma will help you take care of the children."

Just think about it and be happy.

Song Guangzong and Zhu Qin, a couple at the dinner table, had other ideas. They looked at each other and winked, but said nothing.

After dinner, Zhu Qin finished her housework and returned to the couple's small compartment.

Old Mrs. Zhang and Song Dachun's family lived in the bungalow left by Old Man Song, which originally had two bedrooms and a main room.

Mr. Song and Mrs. Zhang lived in one room, and their three children lived in another room. The second daughter had been married for a long time, and the third son went to high school, and after graduation he went to work in the steel mill and found a wife who also worked in the steel mill. The two of them moved out in separate rooms.

Old man Song passed away a few years ago, and Song Dachun took over the job. Now Song Dachun and his wife Zhang Xiu live in one room, the old lady lives in another, and the originally small main room has been partitioned off into another room for the two sons to live in.

At the beginning of the year, my eldest son got married, and there was no way to separate the room, so I pulled a curtain in the middle of the kang to separate the room. In this way, the young couple and their youngest son lived in one room.

Zhu Qin has been dissatisfied for a long time. The couple had to be cautious in doing anything they wanted. Her husband was just a temporary worker in the steel plant. He did not have any housing quota and it was not certain that he would be replaced by someone else at any time. Moreover, he only made 23 yuan a month, and he had to give 15 yuan to his family.

The couple had little money and could not afford to rent a house, nor did they have money to buy household items.

These days, my brother-in-law has been troubled by the issue of quotas for going to the countryside. When I heard that Song Shuangshuang from my third uncle's family passed the exam to become a regular worker in the textile factory, the old lady went to ask for it. That's when she became interested.

The conversation among the family at the dinner table just now made her think again. Thinking about the good news she got when she returned to her parents' home during the day, Zhu Qin touched her belly and knew that this job would be hers!

While her brother-in-law was still inside the house, she went out for a walk and closed the door, intending to tell her husband what she was thinking.

"Guangzong, if you take over Song Shuangshuang's job, can your parents let you take over and let your uncle take your place at the steel plant?"

Zhu Qin wanted her husband to be a regular worker and she would work as a temporary worker, but her grandmother disagreed. Her husband was a porter in the steel mill and she couldn't do much. It would be better to let her brother-in-law take the temporary job, who knows, he might be able to sell it well.

Song Guangzong actually thought so too, but considering how much the old lady doted on Song Yaozu, he probably wouldn't agree, and said, "I don't think grandma would agree. You know how much he doted on Song Yaozu. There's not much hope."

He also wanted to have a formal job. Not only was it tiring to move things in the steel factory every day, but he also earned very little.

"Which is more important, a grandson or a great-grandson?" Seeing her husband's puzzled expression, Zhu Qin placed her hand on her belly and said happily, "Are you stupid? You're a father now! I went back to my parents' home today and asked an old man in the village to check my pulse. It's been two months."

Song Guangzong, who was lying down, knelt down in front of Zhu Qin and asked excitedly, "Are you really pregnant? I'm going to be a father?"

After he finished speaking, Zhu Qin slapped him and said, "Keep your voice down. Wait until tomorrow night to tell your parents. If they find out about your loud voice, how can you get the job?"

Song Guangzong slapped his mouth in a pretentious manner and lowered his voice, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll do as you say." After patting his wife's belly, he gently touched her belly and said, "Son! I'm your father! You came at the right time."

Zhu Qin also smiled. With this belly, isn't the job hers? When the time comes to divide the house, she can move out!

Song Yaozu came back at this time. Hearing the footsteps, Song Guangzong quickly put away the expression on his face and lay back on the bed. Zhu Qin also got out of bed and took the basin, pretending to fill hot water for Song Guangzong to wash his feet as usual.

"Hey, sister-in-law, go get some water. Get me a basin too." As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhu Qin holding a basin to get some water. Song Yaozu unceremoniously asked her to get him a basin as well.

Zhu Qin looked up at her brother-in-law who was casually holding a piece of grass in his mouth, and took a deep breath, "I didn't burn that much. I'll need it at night. You can burn it yourself." She had never seen a sister-in-law who had to serve her brother-in-law.

"Oh, then I won't use it. I'll leave it all to my sister-in-law." Song Yaozu grinned and looked her up and down with a lewd expression. "Then I'll come back later?"

Zhu Qin was so angry at Song Yaozu that her face turned red. She pointed at him and gritted her teeth, "You!"

Song Yaozu then said, "What's wrong with me? Could it be that my sister-in-law doesn't want me to go out?"

"Song Yaozu, be careful with your words!" Song Guangzong had been tolerating this unruly brother for a long time. When he first entered junior high school, he skipped classes every other day to hang out with a group of hooligans. Even his junior high school diploma was obtained by his father through money and connections. After getting the diploma, he had nothing to do and went out to tease cats and dogs every day.

He usually doesn't respect his elder brother and even flirts with his sister-in-law!

Song Yaozu also knew how to read the expressions on his brother's face. He saw that his eldest brother was really angry and he would be beaten if he continued talking. So he raised his hands with a grin and took two steps back, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I leave the place to you. I'll come back after you're done." He walked out of the door, turned around and left the house again.

Looking at his wife's red face, Song Guangzong consoled her several times, "Don't be angry, that kid is like that. If you get angry again, you will hurt yourself and your son."

Zhu Qin calmed down for a while. She still needed to rely on this belly to move out, so nothing could happen. When she got the job, she would have to let her husband separate from her and live her own life.

Song Yaozu walked out of the house, spit out the straw in his mouth, and said, "It's really unlucky to live with you two."

Song Yaozu is only 17 years old, but he hung out with a group of gangsters a few years ago and learned a lot of dirty talk, otherwise he would not have flirted with his sister-in-law.

They decided to go out and play with friends tonight and not go home, as if he was willing to listen to what they were doing.

He will have a formal job in a few days and is waiting for the company to allocate housing, but he doesn't like that small, shabby cubicle.
