Chapter 17
Yang Jianping had no choice but to boil hot water, so there was no need for all three of them to go, right?
Just looking at Wen Minghua's dark face, he stood up and put the book on the table.

Manni really curled up her lips now. How could her mother be so, well, she blinked, wondering if she was going through menopause?

As I was thinking about the symptoms of menopause, Manni's somewhat familiar voice came from outside.

"Minghua, Wen Minghua!"

Wen Minghua sat next to Manni, not moving, just looking at the door.

"Hi! Are you at home? Then why don't you respond when I call you?"

The person who came was a woman who looked to be 50 years old, about 1.6 meters tall, a little fat, and with a very prominent belly. As soon as she entered the door, she put the things in her hands on the table, and then approached Manni who was looking at her:
"Girl, aunty brought you a can of malted milk and asked your mother to make it for you."

She pinched Manni's face, and her rough fingers made Manni's face hurt.

"Take it, take it, it's not rare in our family."

Wen Minghua stuffed the bag she brought into her arms and pushed her back:

"Don't pinch Manni. It's neither light nor heavy. Didn't you make someone's face turn red?"

"Why are you so angry?"

Manni's eldest aunt Zhao Dongju didn't care that Wen Minghua pushed her away. She just sighed helplessly and put the bag in her arms on the table:

"Why haven't you figured it out these days? I said I should transfer Jianping's job first, isn't it for your own good?"

As she spoke, she took out another 600 yuan from her bag and stuffed it into Wen Minghua's apron bag:
"This is the money from Weiping's job. Keep it."

Seeing that Wen Minghua's face had improved, she lowered her body, put her hands under Manni's armpits, picked her up, then sat on the stool where Manni had been sitting, and also let Manni sit on hers. on the legs,

"You're good. You said that you, a younger brother and sister, didn't even scold me for the bullshit. I, my sister-in-law, didn't even get angry with you. You're good. How many days has it been? It's time to calm down, right?"

Manni didn't know about the quarrel between her mother and her eldest aunt. She probably hadn't come over at that time. When she heard her talk about it, she couldn't help but look at Wen Minghua:

Was it her mother who was quarreling?
Of course not. After Wen Minghua heard her sister-in-law's voice, she remembered their quarrel.

As a sister-in-law, she did have a good heart. She wanted Wen Minghua to temporarily give Yang Jianping's job to her natal nephew.

Her natal nephew should also go to the countryside this year.

But Wen Minghua didn't want it. This job was earned with the life of a man in his family. It would be good if one job was given to his nephew. No one else could touch his son's job.

So I listened to my sister-in-law's idea and scolded Zhao Dongju before I even finished listening.

Zhao Dongju was also angry. Who wouldn't be sad if her brother-in-law was gone? But people who are alive still have to live a good life, right?
She then came up with the idea of ​​giving the job to her nephew. It was temporary, and she would get ten dollars for nothing every month. It was better than just leaving the job there for two years without seeing a penny. All right?

Besides, in just a short time, there have been so many people interested in taking that job. Can she, Wen Minghua, refuse one or ten companies?
So what if you meet someone later who you can't refuse or refuse? Now is not the time when your brother-in-law is still around?
Wen Minghua lowered her head and glanced at Manni, who was held in her arms, and smiled:
"800 yuan, not a penny less, I will transfer this job to your nephew." After saying that, she ignored Zhao Dongju who was suddenly startled, turned to Yang Jianping who was standing at the door and said:
"Jianping, you have also known about your job recently. I guess someone will continue to make plans later."

Therefore, regardless of whether she can hold on to it or not, what the sister-in-law said is correct. What if someone comes to her that she can't refuse?
Yang Jianping actually doesn't care about work now. He thinks that after passing high school, he will be looking for a job in the future, and he will also want to find something easier.

In addition, because of his job, more than two groups of people have come to the house recently. Even his second brother's, um, partner, isn't he interested in his job?

So when Wen Minghua opened her mouth and heard her asking for eight hundred, she nodded without thinking.

Seeing him nodding, Wen Minghua turned to look at Zhao Dongju:
"That's it. If it feels too high, we won't be in a hurry to change it."

For her nephew, 600 yuan is a normal price, but now she needs work, which has nothing to do with her, Wen Minghua, so 800 yuan, although a bit high, is still within the acceptable range.

Zhao Dongju hesitated for a moment.
"Their family just wants to do the work first and then explore slowly."

She looked at Wen Minghua and then at Yang Jianping.
"This job should still be reserved for Jianping."

Wen Minghua interrupted her:

"I have other arrangements for Jianping's job. We'll talk about it after he graduates in two years."

The purpose of keeping a job is to cut off Yang Jianping's escape route. When the college entrance examination resumes next year, let him leave the field and try. If it doesn't work, he will continue to go to school and take the exam again next year.

However, the young man who is only 16 years old will have just turned 20 even if he takes the exam for another four years. At that time, even if he cannot be admitted to university, the spring breeze of reform and opening up has already begun. Isn't it possible to find a way out for Yang Jianping?
Zhao Dongju saw that the mother and son had indeed made a decision, so she did not shirk anymore, so the matter was settled like this:

"I'll ask them to send the money the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Her parents' home was not far away, but she had to work during the day. Besides, she didn't know if they could get the money together quickly, so she postponed the time until the day after tomorrow.

Wen Minghua nodded,
"Have you eaten yet?"

Zhao Dongju rolled her eyes, took out two more White Rabbit toffees from the bag, peeled off the wrapper of one, and stuffed it into Manni's mouth. Then she stood up and put Manni on the chair.
"I've been here for so long without asking any questions. If I haven't eaten, I'll starve to death!"

She patted the hem of her clothes:

"Come on, I know you haven't calmed down yet, so I can just leave, right? Really, you are so angry that even your sister-in-law doesn't want to call you."

Wen Minghua finally succeeded, laughed "Pfft", then pulled the person back,
"Sister-in-law, wait."

She went to the cabinet in the corner of the living room, took out a bag from the cabinet, and filled half the bag with the malted milk powder bag that Zhao Dongju had brought:
"It's Jianguo's comrade-in-arms who sent us some overseas goods."

Yang Jianguo was in the Southwest Military Region, and his unit was still some distance from the seaside. However, one of his comrades went to the island, so he asked him for his home address and sent a lot of overseas goods to Wen Minghua and his wife.

Zhao Dongju wanted to refuse, but when she saw the shrimp skin and kelp, she swallowed it and gave it to the two little guys at home. They could use these to make soups and stews. They were good things.
