Chapter 301 Who Stays?
Quan Cheng and Liu Xiaozhuang started fighting again while no one was paying attention.
Although they had just fought, they were quickly stopped and their anger had not completely subsided.
Now they started fighting again because of a disagreement. Although Uncle Liu was there to mediate, he would definitely favor his own son.
Aunt Liu had tried her best to stop the whole process, but she couldn't help but feel angry when she saw her son suffer.
With the crowd's obstruction, the two separated smoothly, staring at Liu Xiaozhuang the whole time: "Say what you just said again!"
"Just say it! I said it must be you who will go to the countryside. Don't forget, my dad makes the most money in this family, so he has the final say! If someone wants to go to the countryside, who else but you?"
"you!"
Hearing the other party say this throughout the whole process, it seemed as if the matter had been finalized. He was originally the one who was taken by his biological mother to remarry, and this had been often talked about by others over the years.
He didn't take it to heart, but if he left, what would happen to his sister? She would definitely be bullied by these people.
She stared at Liu Xiaozhuang the whole time: "I tell you it's absolutely impossible! If you dare to send me to the countryside, I will definitely take you with me!"
"Humph!"
Seeing that the two of them started arguing again, they could only be taken away separately. As long as the two of them didn't get together, things would be relatively calm.
Going to the countryside is inevitable. The notice has been issued, but because they are still in school, there is no clear decision yet.
But there is no doubt that something will happen soon!
The others left again. Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu's faces were not very good now. After all, they heard what the two children said just now, which meant that the other party was doing something behind their backs!
Although the two are a couple who got married later in life, they have lived together for 10 years. Although they cannot be said to have any feelings for each other now, they are still living together.
But after so many years, the children ahead are still more important. Although I think so too, I still can't help feeling a little unhappy.
More importantly, if the other party really finds a way, wouldn’t his son have to go to the countryside?
Both of them are not in good terms. Although they still live together, they are not in harmony with each other and have nothing to say to each other!
Zuo Zhizhi was also a little curious and asked Gu Jiqing, "Who do you think will go to the countryside?"
Gu Jiqing thought carefully for a while and finally came to the conclusion: "I don't think either of them will go to the countryside!"
Zuo Zhizhi hadn't expected him to make such a guess, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why? Did the Subdistrict Office issue another notice? The situation is getting increasingly tense, and going to the countryside is inevitable!"
"But there are many ways to avoid going to the countryside! For example, why not find them a job?"
Gu Jiqing said it as a matter of course, as if it was a piece of cake, but Zuo Zhizhi rolled her eyes at him: "Let's be practical! These two don't have any special abilities. It's good enough to empty their family's savings to buy a job for their child. How can they both stay?"
"Hey, you can't say for sure!"
Zuo Zhizhi saw that Ji Qing seemed to understand everything, and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
"Uncle Liu is a forger at the steel mill, and his salary is not low. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to buy a job for Liu Xiaozhuang with the money he's saved over the years. Plus, he's a long-time employee of the factory, and since this is his son with his ex-wife, it shouldn't be too difficult for everyone!"
Zuo Zhizhi nodded. After all, the one who earned money in the family was Uncle Liu, one of the highest-paid people in the courtyard. If he couldn't afford a job, then it would be even more impossible for others.
"Even if Liu Xiaozhuang can stay, what about the whole process?"
"We can't afford a job, and we can't inherit a job. Doesn't his mother have a job?"
“But…” Zuo Zhizhi was a little bit unconvinced. After all, she had remarried now, so she was remarrying with a son and a daughter, but would she really give up her job completely?
“What if this job is for the whole family?”
Zuo Zhizhi suddenly realized: "You mean Aunt Liu's job is inherited from her husband."
Gu Jiqing nodded. "When I came back just now, I saw the quarrel here. I asked the aunties in the backyard, and they explained clearly that Aunt Liu is from the countryside and she doesn't have a job. But after her husband died, there was no other way, so she had to take over. At that time, the child was still young, and she couldn't take care of it alone, so she had to remarry."
"However, it is only natural that this family's work should be handed over to the son of the family, so I guess he won't be able to leave for the whole process."
"But if that's the case, then how did these two get into this fight?" Zuo Zhizhi was a little puzzled. Were the requirements for going to the countryside so strict now? Didn't they say that only one person from each household could go?
Or has it become a situation where only one person can stay in a family?
Zuo Zhizhi then realized that the policy of going to the countryside was not static. At least for now, basically every household had to go to the countryside.
All those who go to the countryside here refer to those who have nothing to do at home, and they all have indicators for going to the countryside.
Maybe later on, due to certain reasons, some children will be able to return to the city, but for now, there is really no other way except to find a job.
The entire courtyard seemed to have quieted down, with only the Liu family making constant noise in the entire courtyard.
Ordinary families would have endless arguments about sending several children to the countryside, let alone a reconstituted family like this one.
According to the policy, the two older children would probably have to go to the countryside together, but as the head of the family, it would not be difficult for Uncle Liu to find a job for Liu Xiaozhuang.
Sure enough, not long after, Liu Xiaozhuang stopped discussing the related matters.
If that's the case, he is still one year younger this year, so it wouldn't be his turn to go to the countryside.
It’s just that this matter had already been stirred up before, and now that they saw him calm down, everyone was naturally curious.
But after repeated reminders from Uncle Liu, Liu Xiaozhuang knew that he had to keep his mouth shut about this matter, so he had no intention of saying it out loud.
But adolescent children will inevitably show off a little, especially when they find a job, they will unconsciously tell others.
Aunt Liu just went to the school to ask around and found out that Liu Dazhuang could definitely stay in the city because he had a job.
This incident made Aunt Liu feel nervous. No one in the family discussed it, or no one dared to speak up.
But Uncle Liu quietly solved Liu Xiaozhuang's work problem without even considering the whole process.
Even though he is not my biological son, we have lived together for such a long time, yet I still don't show any affection to him!
