A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

After Xu Meiling left, she took out the small dish of sweet and sour pork that she had hidden in her space and shared it with Dacheng.

Everyone was enjoying the food at the dining table in the main hall.

The presence of fish, meat and shrimps showed the importance the Xu family attached to the dish. With the addition of Lin Xiaomeng’s cooking skills, it was icing on the cake. The three members of the Yan family were very satisfied with the dish.

The strict father and mother smiled more often and praised the delicious and authentic food.

Seeing that things were about to be done, Xu Huaiyu felt relieved and quietly pulled Yan Lijun's hand under the table.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After dinner, it was time to come to the showdown. Since they were in a free love relationship without a matchmaker, the rest of the matter would be discussed directly by the elders of the two families.

Yan's father and mother said that Xu Huaiyu was a good young man, but he was unemployed at home and could not live without a job. Yan Lijun had a job in the city, so it was impossible for the couple to live apart after they got married, right?

In short, Xu Huaiyu must have a job to support his family, even if it is a temporary job. He can't let Yan Lijun earn money to support the family after marriage, right?

Xu Huaiyu forced a smile, his face looked a little unhappy. The old man even looked down on him for not having a job.

Xu Mingshan didn't want to find a better job for his son, but he didn't find one! He was used to hanging around with others and couldn't settle down.

Liu Guifang also felt a little embarrassed. In her heart, her child was perfect, and she was unhappy that others openly or secretly disliked her child.

But what the other party said is true. The third child has to find a job and settle down. He can't rely on them for the rest of his life.

In short, the meaning of Yan's father and mother is very clear. The young man is good and can be considered, but he must have a proper job before we can discuss the next things.

After they had finished talking, Yan's father and mother took Yan Lijun to say goodbye.

Xu Huaiyu sent the person to the village entrance. Yan's father came on a bicycle and left with his wife and daughter. Before leaving, he patted Xu Huaiyu on the shoulder and said that he had high hopes for him.

Hope rekindled in Xu Huaiyu's heart.

It is not entirely true to say that he had much affection for Yan Lijun. The main reason was that he wanted to find a city wife who would be worthy of him.

His eldest brother's wife was an educated youth from the city. Even his crazy second brother found an educated youth, so he couldn't be too different.

Yan Lijun is good-looking, has a job, and is easy to fool. She is the best person he could find.

Thinking of this, he hurried home to discuss it with his parents.

Lin Xiao dreamed that her family was full of sorrow and thought that today's blind date had failed. Her heart sank. Xu Huaiyu's marriage was off. Would she have to wait a long time again if she wanted to split the family business?

Well, today’s meal was wasted.

When Xu Huaiyu came back, Xu Mingshan called the whole family together for a meeting. Lin Xiaomeng then realized that it was not a lie, but that other people disliked Xu Huaiyu for not having a job and asked him to find a job before getting married.

She was secretly happy in her heart. Did Xu Huaiyu, that little scoundrel, finally get humiliated?

Unexpectedly, the next second, Liu Guifang set her sights on Xu Huaizhi.

"Boss, you are a technician in the steel mill. Can you find a temporary job for your brother in the steel mill?"

Xu Mingshan also looked over and he had the same idea. Now the eldest brother was the only one in the family who could think of a solution.

Xu Huaizhi said gloomily, "Didn't I look for him last time? He was too picky and didn't want to go!"

"Brother, what kind of job are you looking for? A laborer shoveling coal slag. Is that worthy of my education and status? I am a high school student after all. You want me to shovel coal?" Xu Huaiyu was unhappy.

Xu Huaizhi was also unhappy when he heard this.

"What's wrong with being a high school student? When you first start working, don't you start out as an ordinary worker, then slowly gain recognition from your superiors, and finally pass the factory assessment to become a regular employee?

I am now a senior technician, but I have suffered a lot to get to this point. You can't become rich overnight. If you aim too high, you will not end up well! "

"Then you should at least find me a job as an ordinary worker. What good future can there be in shoveling coal slag?" Xu Huaiyu argued.

"Everyone has their own job. The factory has long been saturated with workers and they haven't hired anyone in the past few years. If it weren't for my good relationship with my master, I wouldn't even be able to find a job shoveling coal slag. Don't be ungrateful!

The job you didn't want was later replaced by a young guy who did a great job and is about to be hired as a permanent employee." Xu Huaizhi was also disappointed.

Xu Huaiyu curled his lips and said, "What's wrong with becoming a regular employee? I don't want to shovel coal slag for the rest of my life. Whoever wants to do it can do it!"

Lin Xiaomeng sneered. People like Xu Huaiyu are destined to be gangsters all their lives.

When she left in her previous life, he was not married yet. No one knew what happened to him afterwards. He was just hiding behind his elder brother Xu Huaizhi and taking advantage of the situation to live a good life.

He would never be able to take advantage of them again in this life.

Fortunately, Xu Huaizhi is no longer blindly siding with his parents like he did in his previous life.

Liu Guifang couldn't bear to see her two sons quarreling, so she immediately stepped out to act as a peacemaker.

"Third brother, please stop talking, your elder brother is doing this for your own good.

"Big brother, look, now they say that if you don't have a job, you won't let your two children get married, and your brother insists on liking that girl, and your dad and I can't do anything about it. You are the eldest brother, so can you help your brother? Okay?"

Xu Huaizhi frowned and said nothing.

Xu Mingshan also said, "Boss, if you have a way, use your connections to find a job for your brother. Next spring, the commune primary school will be hiring, and I'll let your wife go."

This can also be considered a disguised exchange.

Lin Xiaomeng cursed inwardly. This old man had clearly promised to help her get the job, but now it has turned into a condition of exchange.

In fact, Xu Mingshan himself was not sure whether he could get the job. Otherwise, why did he promise it to his daughter-in-law? Wouldn't it be better to give it directly to his son? After all, it was a teacher's job.

Xu Huaizhi knew that his wife also urgently needed a job to change her current situation.

The steel factory is full of male chauvinists, and it is difficult for him to find a suitable job for his wife. This job at the commune primary school is good and very suitable for her.

So he pondered for a while and said, "I'll try my best! No matter what job I find this time, you have to do it, otherwise don't expect me to help you in the future!"

Xu Huaizhi's voice was filled with anger, and Liu Guifang immediately pushed the third child: "Tell your brother quickly and make sure you work hard this time."

Xu Huaiyu thought that if he had a job, it would be a good thing to let him get married first, so she readily agreed.

"Brother, please help me. No matter what job you ask me to do this time, I will do it seriously."

The expression on Xu Huaizhi's face improved a little.

Lin Xiaomeng didn't believe this guy's nonsense.

But at least this matter has been resolved.

-

The three members of the Yan family also discussed the matter on their way back.

"Dad, why are you suddenly making another request? I think they are quite angry." Yan Lijun was puzzled. Didn't they agree before coming that they would agree if the conditions were acceptable?

Her father suddenly made things difficult for her family, and she was worried that after she got married, people would have opinions about her and make things difficult for her.

In fact, she was quite satisfied. The Xu family seemed to be good people, and they were able to give three transfers and one ring, which showed that the family was financially strong.

The key is that Xu Huaiyu is good-looking and has a sweet mouth.

"Silly girl, your father is doing this for your own good. You only see superficial things. When you young people are dating, you only care about the comfort and happiness in the moment, and you don't know how to plan for the long term.

Huaiyu's kid looks good, but he doesn't work. After you get married, won't the burden of the family fall on you?

Besides, you work in the city and he lives in the countryside, how can that work?

Didn't he say that his brother at home could help find a job at any time? This condition shouldn't be difficult!

In the future, both of you will work in the city and rent a house to live in the city, so that we can look after you from time to time. Living in the village, you will have to make a living under the care of your parents-in-law, which is not easy."

The strict mother explained the whole matter to her daughter in detail.

In fact, it’s not that their family doesn’t love their daughter, otherwise they wouldn’t have let Yan Lijun go to high school. There’s nothing they can do about it now!

They were also worried that if they took the betrothal gift, their daughter would end up being bullied by her parents-in-law, so they asked Xu Huaiyu to get a job so that the young couple could live in the city and they could look after them.

Yan Lijun also understood her parents' painstaking efforts and thought that this was a good thing. However, she didn't know whether Xu Huaiyu could find a job. Nowadays, jobs are very limited and it is difficult to find one job for each person.

The strict father sighed, "I just don't know when they can arrange the work. Your eldest brother can't wait long. If the girl gets pregnant by then and then gets married, the neighbors will laugh at her."

Yan's mother also let out a long sigh.

"How could I raise such a son? I don't know what will happen when this daughter-in-law comes home."

Yan Lijun was filled with anger when she thought of her troublesome elder brother. If it wasn't for him, why would she have to get married in such a hurry and even give away half of the betrothal gift.

She could imagine how angry the man would be when he knew about this when they got married. He would definitely dislike her, right?

On one side is her own life-long event, and on the other side is her eldest brother's life. She feels like she is being roasted on the fire.

Sometimes she really wanted to escape from home. As the eldest sister, did she have to be responsible for her younger brother's life? She was really unwilling to do so, but thinking of her parents' twenty years of raising her, she could only accept it with tears.
