A pleasant life in a courtyard
Chapter 397 The situation is different
Qin Huairu wanted to ask Li Xiang to help with Zhen Gen's work. Based on the relationship between the two families for so many years, this request was not unexpected.
Although this request seemed a bit shameless according to Qin Huairu's existing resources, Li Xiang did not blame her.
Compared with Yu Li's pure white wolf at that time, both the Liu family back then and Qin Huairu now really cared about their children, but suffered from their own incompetence.
But the situation of Qin Huairu's family is somewhat different from that of Liu's family.
Although the Liu family did not have enough money to buy a job at that time, they had at least saved more than half of it.
Moreover, Guangfu has been working as a temporary worker in the steel rolling mill for several years. Although he does not have a formal job title, he does have skills in his hands.
When Li wanted to help him with his activities, it happened to be the right time and place, so it was done without much effort.
The situation is very different now. The opportunity to stay in the city is priced at one price per year.
Every year they say it has reached its peak, and the next year it will reach a new high.
Li Xiang just asked Qin Huairu about the money he had available, well, he didn't even have a quarter of what he needed to buy a job.
If Li Xiang helps him find a better job opportunity, the money will be even more expensive.
Finding a bad one will cost a lot of money.
No matter what happens, the Qin family will ask the Li family to borrow money.
It’s not that Li Xiang doesn’t want to borrow money, but it’s quite boring to think that his child will have to pay off the debt for the next ten years.
This is based on his extreme frugality and not getting married or raising a family.
If these are added, the life span will have to be pushed back.
It’s fun to pay off debt for ten or twenty years just for a job.
Of course, we can't say this directly to the mother and son. If we really want to say it, Qin Huairu loves her son very much, so she has to guarantee to Li Xiang that they, as elders, can help pay back the debt.
But if they really do this, their family's living standard will definitely plummet.
Poor couples are miserable, and Qin Huairu and Xu Laosan are a half-way couple. Living in poverty for the sake of a child is not conducive to the stability of their new family.
Xu Laosan spends time at home because he is tired outside, so that his wife and children can live a good life.
The more prosperous the day, the more tired he becomes.
If he knew that he was too tired to move forward, then he could still be too tired to move, or that he could still be so tired willingly.
"I heard from our little brother that Banggeng's academic performance is good, and he was on the list for this high school graduation exam?" Li Xiang looked at Banggeng with a smile and asked.
"The twenty-sixth place is a little worse than Uncle Ming." Bangge scratched his head and replied honestly.
I don’t know if the two children entered high school and their grades did improve.
In the past few years, many students have not focused on studying.
Two guys who had always failed to get good grades since elementary school became outstanding students in high school.
The two finished the exam, one ranked twenty-sixth and the other ranked seventeenth.
If this score is placed before 65, not only can you get into college, but you can definitely go to junior college.
"No matter how good he is in the exam, it's useless if he doesn't catch up with the good times. He has to worry about his affairs as a family." Qin Huairu lamented.
Their family could have had a college student.
She then thought of Little Brother Li, and sighed in her heart, this person is really incomparable.
Li Ming and Banggeng graduated at the same time, and they both hung out at home for a few months.
Bangge couldn't be found, and Li Ming didn't want to go because he disliked the job his brother was looking for.
Both of them were dragging her, and they were dragging her until they had no other choice, so they begged to come to her.
Li Ming was dragging his feet and wanted to change to a better one. He had no choice but to have a guaranteed job to support him.
For him, the worst thing is to do a job that he is not interested in.
In response to Qin Huairu's lament, Li Xiang still said words of comfort without changing his expression.
"That's not what I said. This kid has a good foundation. As long as he can maintain it, he will develop greatly in the future."
His words made Qin Huairu and Banggian's eyes light up, and they suddenly felt that what they wanted was possible.
"Uncle Xiang, what do you mean..." Banggeng looked at him with hope in his eyes.
"I have an idea. The child may have to suffer a little for a while. I don't know if you can accept it." Li Xiang said thoughtfully.
"Yes, yes. Speaking of which, you are the elder of the child, and you will never harm him." Qin Huairu quickly agreed without even hearing the words.
"Uncle Xiang, just say, I'm not afraid of hardship." Zhen Geng also followed and patted his chest.
"Oh ~ I haven't finished speaking yet, you know you can do it?" Li Xiang heard him say so confidently and raised his eyebrows to ask him.
"A man is a man of his word. Uncle Xiang, just watch. If I frown, I will lose my tongue." In order to win Li Xiang's trust, Bangge was willing to go all out, even though he was still young, he said It came out like a child's words.
Seeing what he said, Li Xiang was not prepared to keep it secret anymore.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you say you were worried about your child being bullied when he went down there? Can I find a place for him where he won't be bullied?" Li Xiang didn't mention money and directly pointed out how he was going to help.
How great the expectations were, how great the disappointment was. The high emotions that the mother and son saw fell down because of Li Xiang's words.
Although what Li wanted to say was also a solution.
But compared to the other ways to stay in the city, the mother and son definitely wanted to stay.
After all, Qin Huairu had eaten salt for a few more years than Banggeng, her son. Before Banggeng could react, she was already able to answer.
"Why can't it work? That's what we should have thought in the first place. After all, we are too arrogant and want to keep our children by our side without knowing what we can do." Although Qin Huairu answered with a smile, the self-deprecation in her words was full of bitterness.
"Uncle Xiang, is there really nothing we can do?" Zhen Geng asked relentlessly, completely forgetting what he and Li Xiang had promised just now.
Li Xiang shook his head and replied seriously: "Banggen, sometimes you have to look at the overall situation when doing things, not just yourself."
Zhen Jian was puzzled by what he meant and thought to herself, why am I taking care of myself.
The selfishness of a young man does not lie in material or behavioral actions, but in the indifference that he cannot detect in his heart.
What Zhen Geng thinks is that now that I have a job, I don’t have to ask my family to pay back the money, so I can’t bear it by myself if I eat the rice bran.
This kind of thinking, to put it nicely, means that one person is responsible for the work.
To put it bluntly, it means that you are too self-centered and think highly of yourself, thinking that you can resist everything.
He forgot that without the guarantee of credibility as an elder, why would Li Xiang help him?
Once Qin Huairu became the guarantor, whether it was out of her promise to the Li family or as a mother who felt sorry for her child.
How could she let Banggeng carry such a heavy burden alone.
If Banggeng couldn't figure it out, Qin Huairu figured it out.
Her emotions at this moment were complicated and tangled.
She didn't know whether to blame Li Xiang for not helping others to the end, or to thank Li Xiang for thinking about their family.
