Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

The members all agreed that Hongwu had picked up bad habits outside, such as a love of bragging.

Someone winked at Li Jiandang, asking him to take care of his son.

Li Jiandang sent all the members away, only Zhang Xiuhua and a few children did not leave.

Hong Wu's eyes turned red with anger. "They all don't believe me, so why would I ask me?"

Xu Chunying also didn't believe that capitalists could offer such high wages. "Those people are not fools! They dare to offer 60 to an ordinary worker. How do they earn?!"

Hong Wu had no idea, "That's what they wrote."

Li Jiandang came in from outside, and Hongwu was eager for his father's affirmation, "Dad, do you believe me?"

Li Jiandang met his son's eager eyes and said, "Are those positions just for free?"

Hongwu was stunned, and Hongxia asked curiously, "What is a carrot pit?"

"This position is only for this talent. Others have already reserved the position. They just put it out for everyone to see, but they won't hire anyone!" Li Jiandang explained briefly. When he was young, he also went to the county to recruit workers. Obviously, the employer needed people, but he was rejected every time he applied. He found that those who were successful in the application were not as good as him. Later, he learned from his younger sister that those were all fake positions, and told him not to waste his time.

Hong Wu's eyes turned red with anger. "Dad! It's not a job posting, it's just a normal job opening. But outsiders need a temporary residence permit to enter."

Zhang Xiuhua had worked before, and the letter of introduction was cancelled later. She smiled and said, "I believe what Hongwu said. But it costs a lot of money to get a temporary residence permit."

"Is the salary real too?" Xu Chunying still believed Zhang Xiuhua. After all, Li Jianguo had been to the south several times to buy chickens.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Yes! It's true."

They just treated it as gossip.

At night, Xu Chunying and Li Jiandang lay on the kang and discussed the matter.

"You said that with such a high salary, you might as well go to the south to work."

Li Jiandang turned over and said, "Don't even think about it. That place is in chaos. Didn't you listen to what Hongwu said? It's so crowded!"

Xu Chunying rolled her eyes at him and said, "Of course I won't go. I have to stay at home to take care of the kids. You can go. We work so hard all year long, but the profit is only a few dozen yuan. If you go there, you can earn a year's salary in one month."

Li Jiandang was silent for a long time before he said, "But the temporary residence permit costs a lot of money."

Xu Chunying turned over and sat up. "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Bring more money with you and apply for a temporary residence permit. You can earn the money back later."

Li Jiandang reminded her that her family was broke and all their savings had been used to raise chickens. They would start hatching chicks in the spring of next year, so it was too late to quit now.

Xu Chunying was really stumped, but she suddenly thought of a good idea, "You can live with Hongwu. He's a student, you two can sleep in the same dormitory. Didn't Xuewu say that there's an empty bed in their dormitory?"

Li Jiandang was a little helpless. "What if the school leaders find out and give Hongwu a warning?"

"You hide for a few months, and when you make money, buy a temporary residence permit." The more Xu Chunying thought about it, the better she thought this was. "The children are growing up, and the family is burdened with so much. Hongwen is only in junior high school, and he still has several years to go before high school. The family also needs to build a house for Hongwu to get married. Money is needed everywhere."

When she calculated this, Li Jiandang also felt a lot of pressure. When she had children, she thought it was a blessing to have more children, but when the children grew up, she felt that she was burdened.

Tuition fees, house building, marriage, gifts, and dowry all require money.

Li Jiandang put his hands behind his head. At this moment, he actually empathized with Li Jianxin. "I now understand why Li Jianxin cried when he found out his wife was pregnant with twins. What he gave birth to was not a child, but a burden!"

Xu Chunying listened to her husband's complaints and was silent for a long time before she said, "I now understand why Xiuhua dared to take such a big risk to raise chickens. Their family's burden is twice as much as ours. If they are not brave enough and don't try hard, the boys in the family will have to remain single!"

As for girls, don't worry, they can get married without dowry.

Li Jiandang nodded, "Yes!"

The couple settled the matter.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Li Fengjiao brought her children to dinner. At the dinner table, Li Jiandang mentioned his plan for the first time. He wanted his second brother to help look after his family.

"If there's anything going on at home, please help me deal with it. I'll talk to the captain later and ask them to take care of it."

Liu Shujun was angry at her son for not listening. "You are missing out on food and drink at home. Why did you have to run so far? It's so hot in the south, can you bear it?!"

Li Jiandang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, I can stand the cold in the north, how can I not stand the heat?!"

Li Jianguo was a little confused by his brother's actions, "Are you really going to work?! Do you understand what the people over there are saying?"

At that time, there were not so many immigrants in Shenzhen, but more locals. They spoke Cantonese, but Li Jiandang could barely speak Mandarin, and only knew Northeastern dialect. It would be funny if they could not speak the same language!

Li Jiandang and his second brother looked at each other. He had never thought about this problem.

Xu Chunying smiled and said, "It's okay! You can write, right? If you don't understand something, write it down and ask others. "

Everyone could see that Xu Chunying was determined to have Li Jiandang go to the south to make his own living.

Li Fengjiao could only remind her brother to be careful, "Don't go to remote places, and don't go to the coal mines."

Li Jiandang must know about coal mines. There are many mines in the northeast. If they collapse, they will cost lives! He doesn't have the courage to do that. "I just work in a factory or build houses on a construction site. These are jobs I'm used to doing at home."

Li Jianguo has been to the south several times, but he was only there for business. He has never lived there and does not know the local customs and practices. "Don't wander around. The control there is very strict!"

Li Jiandang agreed to all of them.

The news that Li Jiandang was going to work in the south soon caused an uproar in the village.

Although they were full of curiosity about the South, none of them had the courage like Li Jiandang and did not dare to try to go so far.

Someone laughed and said, "Jiandang, if you make money in the south, take us with you. We will follow you!"

Li Jiandang agreed with a smile, "Sure! If I can really make money, I'll come back and tell you! I'll scout out the way for everyone first. I'll ask you to look after my children and make sure they don't get bullied!"

"Don't worry! No one will bully us. Our village has always been united. No one from other villages dares to bully us!"

No matter what people think at ordinary times, no one really bullies him. The main reason is that the surname Li is a big surname in Lijiatun. Li Jiandang is just working outside, he is not dead. He still has younger brothers and cousins. Who would bully him if they have nothing better to do?

Besides, there is nothing to bully. The main reason is that the land at that time belonged to the collective and was not allocated to individuals.

The only person who was bullied was Xu Chunying.

But she is not young anymore, and she has to work hard, exposed to the wind and sun, and she is a tough person, so no man dares to tease her!

On the fifth day of the New Year, Li Jiandang and Hongwu took the train back to school.

Because Hongwu is far away, the train has to go back and forth for more than 40 hours, so we have to arrive at school early.
