In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Li Gang is 27 years old this year. He is not young, but he is not old either.

The problem is that the eldest son is only 5 years old.

I have been asking about getting married since I was 17, but no one is willing.

Until his wife came to him.

Fortunately, my wife came to me on her own initiative.

Marrying someone from the countryside will bring even greater burdens.

The accident came unexpectedly.

Lee just started running.

My home is not far from here, about 40 minutes' walk away.

Li Gang returned home in less than half an hour.

When I entered the door, I saw my mother and son in the yard.

I have made a decision in my heart.

There was some movement in the kitchen, probably my wife was cooking.

Li Gang knew that his family had saved five or six hundred yuan.

Actually, it was half of what my mother saved.

The remaining half was saved by my wife.

The salary I receive every month is actually enough for me to spend if I spend it freely.

But they are all people who came from poor times and are frugal.

That's how I saved the money.

Finally, the child fell asleep. Li Gang took his wife's hand and went into his mother's room.

"Mom, wife, here's something. My colleague wants to switch shifts with me. He's in the security department, and I'm in the logistics department. The salary difference is 30, almost half. But, for one job, I'll assume two years' salary. Let's make a deal. 1800 yuan."

"My job pays 780, which is two years' salary. We need to pay them back, but it's a bit much and we can't come up with it."

The old lady was the first to realize that she was old and had children. "Change, this is your only chance. You and Bitao will have children in the future. Do you think you won't raise them? We're having a hard time these past few years, only this year and next. We have 519 yuan in cash."

"Bring 500 tomorrow, and you can write an IOU for 600. I'm not being overly generous, but there are plenty of people who want to change jobs. I'll pay them 40 every month. That'll only take 15 months."

"It's September now, and we'll pay it off next year. Maybe if we save a little, it'll be like when we have vegetables in the yard in the summer. We can eat them from June to October. Maybe by this time next year, we'll have paid it off."

"We all know about the incident at your factory. But it doesn't happen every day. You've been working here for almost 11 years, and this is the only time. It's a good thing you didn't buy a bicycle."

"My son has worked hard for a year. He will pay off the money next year and be debt-free. He will go buy a bicycle right away. What about you, Bitao? What do you think? Do you think I'm right?"

"Yes, but if that's the case, Brother Gang will have to work so hard. We could buy a bicycle right away. We don't have to have children in the future." Bitao was also hesitant.

The old lady was the first to realize that Bitao was worried about her husband. "Bitao, young people have to endure hardships. There's nothing you can do about it. If you had a job, the two of you could earn 70 a month. I definitely wouldn't ask for that."

"The opportunity is right in front of us. What if we miss this time? What if you get pregnant next time? Will you not give birth? Impossible. Be obedient and go back. I'm going to sleep. Give the money to Gangzi tomorrow."

The old lady lay down, and Li Gang and Bitao retreated.

Bitao burst into tears, "Brother Gang, I'm the one who's holding you back. If I had a job, you wouldn't have to work so hard."

"If I change this job, and we have money in the future, if someone sells a job, I can really let you have a job. Bitao, listen to me, in fact, on the way back, I had already decided to switch with someone."

"The reason I'm asking you and Mom now isn't for your opinions. I'm hoping you'll support me. I'm not afraid of hard work. I've been walking to work for 11 years. When have I ever complained to you? Go to bed. It's getting late. If I succeed in changing jobs, I'll have to work the night shift. Night shift for the first half of the month, day shift for the second half."

Bitao immediately fell silent and let her husband sleep well.

After waking up, Li Gang had his meal, took some money and ran to the steel plant’s staff quarters.

When I entered the family compound, it was still early, so I asked the children who got up early and were playing outside.

Where is Jiang Wen's house? Just go to the door. There is an iron gate, a concrete floor, and a vibrant vegetable garden.

It seems that Gu Lixia is a person who is good at taking care of others.

Jiang Huainan followed Li Gang in and knew that this was the person who exchanged jobs with his second uncle.

Lead the main room directly.

Gu Lixia was teaching her sister-in-law how to make pancakes.

We said we would have steamed sausages for lunch and then use the oil to stir-fry some vegetables.

Jiang Xiu knew that her sister-in-law had gone out alone.

I was making pancakes when my eldest nephew called out.

Gu Lixia understood what it meant as soon as she turned around.

I picked up the thermos and poured a bowl of water.

A little brown sugar was put in it.

Bring it out and put it down.

"Huainan, go sit in the yard for a while. Let's chat. Just keep an eye on the people and don't let the gossips come in through our front door." Gu Lixia sent Jiang Huainan out.

Then he sat down and spoke to Li Gang. "It's decided. We'll change it after we get back to work. You go directly to Jiang Wen. As for the compensation, how much do you plan to give?"

"Take the notebook and pen, I'll write an IOU for 600. I have 500 on me, I'll give it to you." Li Gang quickly took out the money.

Gu Lixia took it and went straight to her room.

Count to 500.

Basically they are all 10 yuan each.

The majority of the tickets are 5 yuan each.

Let the system count too.

No problem, just put the system in the drawer of your room.

Gu Lixia took a notebook, a pen, and ink.

Li Gang brought a pen with him.

But he still took Gu Lixia's pen.

IOU

Li Gang owed Jiang Wen and Gu Lixia 600 yuan due to a job change and promised to pay it back within a year.

I have to pay back at least 40 every month after receiving my salary.

Name, handprint in smudged ink.

Gu Lixia put it away and went into the kitchen to get an apple.

"I just brought you an apple, and you even came to my house specially. I really am not at all confident about the relationship between you and my eldest brother." Gu Lixia knew that there must be people climbing over the wall on both sides.

After all, when I went back to get the notebook just now, I saw the old lady of the Wu family and the old man of the Sun family lying on the wall.

Li Gang also understood what Gu Lixia meant. He took the apple, picked up the bowl of sugar water on the table, drank it and left.

Gu Lixia was sent to the gate.

When I came back, I heard Fly saying, "Oh, since the men are not at home, she goes to the house to pick up other men."

"This is a friend of my eldest brother. The child at home is sick and wants to eat some fruit. I am in a hurry to take it back to the child. It's time to be kind. Be kind to yourself." Gu Lixia will eat anything and never suffer any loss.

After saying that, he went into the kitchen, and Huainan followed him. "An IOU for 600. What standard did he use? We didn't suffer any loss, did we?"
