While Bai Youyou was sleeping, Bai Dayong and his friends bought some meat and went home. The whole family was busy all afternoon.

Bai Youyou finally woke up before dinner.

When she finished cleaning up and walked out of the room, she saw a table full of her favorite food in the living room.

In the kitchen, Wang Yanzi and Song Xiaofen were still busy, and Bai Dayong and the others were also chatting with them in the kitchen.

When Bai Youyou arrived at the kitchen, she saw the happy family scene.

Bai Wei, who was still squatting at the door peeling garlic, saw Bai Youyou and called her with a smile.

"Youyou, you're awake now. You can eat in a while. I want to tell you that grandma and mom made all your favorite dishes today. You should eat more later."

After hearing Bai Wei's words, Bai Dayong and the others all looked at Bai Youyou who was standing at the door.

"Youyou, wake up! Once grandma's last dish is ready, we can start eating!" Wang Yanzi looked at Bai Youyou, put the last dish into the bowl, and waved her hand to start eating.

In the main hall, the family sat around a table, happily eating. When everyone had almost finished eating, Wang Yanzi immediately asked:

"Youyou, tell grandma at noon what you think. Tell her what you think! Now that our whole family is here, just say whatever you want to say!"

Bai Youyou had already put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand when she heard Wang Yanzi calling her. Seeing that everyone had put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at their family, she swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at Wang Yanzi and said:

"Grandma, this is what I'm thinking. I passed the exam and became a full-time employee at the electromechanical factory, but I want to give this job to my brothers. In this way..."

After hearing that Bai Youyou wanted to give the job to her grandchildren, Wang Yanzi interrupted her anxiously and said:

"Youyou, how can this be? You earned this job through your own efforts, how can you give it up?"

Bai Wen and Bai Wei were also anxious. "Yeah! Youyou, how could you give up the job you worked so hard to get to us?

We don't need you to give us your job. We brothers have plenty of strength and can earn work points to support the family."

Bai Dayong also said: "Yes! Youyou, why give such a good job to your brother and others? You can do it yourself. The benefits and treatment of being a worker are so good!"

No one at the table agreed with Bai Youyou's decision to work, except Song Xiaofen, who remained silent.

Although Song Xiaofen also likes Bai Youyou very much, when it comes to the matter between her two sons, she still prefers her son.

Bai Youyou looked at the excited expressions of the family, pulled Wang Yanzi's hand and held it soothingly.

He spoke calmly, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, big brother, and second brother, don't get excited. Just listen to me.

I had this idea, it wasn't a spur of the moment decision, I had thought about it a long time ago.

Grandma, you know that I will be joining the army in the future, so this job is dispensable to me.

But for the brothers, it is a guarantee that can change their future lives.

I know you may not be able to accept it right away, but this is the best choice for our family.

As for whether to give the job to my eldest brother or my second brother, that is not something I can decide. It is up to grandma, your parents, and my eldest and second brothers to decide.

But what I can guarantee is that no matter who gets the job this time, I will definitely take another job exam before going to join the army and give it to the person who didn’t get the job this time.

This is the only thing I can do for my family before I join the army."

When everyone heard Bai Youyou's words, they were stunned for a moment.

Bai Wen was the first to speak:

"Youyou, even if you want to join the army, this job is something you worked hard for, so we can't take it."

Bai Youyou looked at this elder brother who had always been relatively steady and smiled.

“Brother, if you are given a job, don’t refuse it.

You know, my life will definitely not be bad after I join the army, but if you stay here, you will have more security with a stable job.

And if we have two people working in the factory in the future, our future life will definitely be more prosperous. Then I can rest assured in the army because I know you will definitely live a good life."

Wang Yanzi, who had been silent until then, spoke after hearing Bai Youyou's words:

"Youyou, have you really thought it through?"

Bai Youyou nodded firmly, "Grandma, I've made up my mind."

Wang Yanzi turned around again, looked at the eager eyes of her two grandsons, and said slowly:

"That's fine, but Youyou, if you have any difficulties in the future, you must tell your family. We will be your strong backing. Also, no matter who you give your job to, grandma is the one who makes the decision. Whoever gets your job in the future will give you ten yuan every month as compensation.

What do you two think of this decision?"

Wang Yanzi's subsequent words were addressed to Bai Wen and Bai Wei.

After hearing what grandma said, Bai Wen and Bai Wei made repeated promises, and Bai Wen even promised:

"Grandma, don't worry! No matter who gets this job, we won't forget Youyou. As for whether ten dollars a month is too little, why don't we split it in half! That way it's fair to Youyou."

Bai Wei nodded repeatedly and promised Bai Youyou that he would work hard.

When Bai Youyou heard that she would be given half of her salary, she shook her head repeatedly to indicate that she refused.

It was Wang Yanzi who made the final decision. "Ten yuan a month is fine. I don't want more."

After hearing what Wang Yanzi said, Bai Youyou nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Bai Youyou felt relieved as she watched her family accept this matter.

She knew that even though she had to give up the job, it was all worth it in exchange for a better future for her family.

Moreover, she believed that with her own abilities, she could create a new world even if she joined the army.

But as for who the job would be given to, that was not something Bai Youyou should consider.

Everyone at the dinner table fell into deep thought over this question, and finally Wang Yanzi broke the silence:

"Dayong, Xiaofen, what do you think?"

Bai Dayong and Song Xiaofen looked at each other, then turned to look at their two sons and thought in silence for a while.

"Mom, do you have any ideas? Xiaofen and I really don't know what to do."

At this time, Bai Wen spoke,

"Grandma, Mom and Dad, and Youyou, just give the job to the second child. He is younger than me and needs it more than me."

After hearing Bai Wen's words, Bai Wei said anxiously:

"Brother, what are you talking about! Speaking of work, you need it more than me. You are not young anymore, and it is time for you to find a sister-in-law for us. If you have this job, you will definitely be able to find a good sister-in-law for us.

I am still young and there is no need to rush to get married."

"Xiaowei, because you are still young, you need it more than I do."

"No, brother, you are wrong. You need this job more than I do."

The two brothers argued until their faces turned red and neither of them gave in.

Bai Youyou was moved by this scene. She stood up and said:

"Brother, brother, stop arguing. Since I gave up this job, let grandma decide who to give it to." After hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Wang Yanzi.

Wang Yanzi stood up slowly and glanced at everyone, her expression serious but kind.

"Grandma understands both of your intentions. But Wen'er is right. Wei'er is younger, so he'll have more opportunities in the future.

Let's leave this task to Wen'er first. But Wei'er, don't be discouraged. As long as our family is united, the future will be better."

Bai Wen looked delighted. Although Bai Wei felt a little disappointed, he quickly cheered up and said, "Brother, you have to work hard." Bai Wen patted his brother's shoulder and agreed.

Bai Youyou looked at the harmonious family and her eyes became red.

She knows very well that no matter how difficult life is, as long as the family is united, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome.

At this moment, the small house is filled with strong family affection, warming everyone's heart.

She also decided to take another job exam for her second brother.

After the family had discussed it, they returned to the atmosphere of chatting and laughing.

After dinner, when the family packed up and prepared to go back to their room to rest, Bai Youyou told Bai Wen to go to the county with her tomorrow morning to discuss the job change.

Bai Wen agreed immediately.
