895: Part-Time Job for the Yang Family (2 More)

At the end of June, when Xia Xiaolan finished her last exam and walked out of the classroom, her freshman year was over.

The exam schedule for the Civil Engineering Department is different from that of the Architecture Department. Yang Yonghong finished the exam yesterday, and now he has packed his luggage and is waiting to buy a ticket to return to his hometown in northern Hebei Province.

Yang Yonghong also joked with Xia Xiaolan, "Are you going to see Instructor Zhou? Remember you said he was studying at the Army Academy. If you want to go with me, I'll wait for you."

I can't see each other normally, but can I see you after the exam and the summer vacation?

Xia Xiaolan shook her head, "I won't go there for the time being. When I go to Hebei Province, I will definitely visit your boss!"

Yang Yonghong didn't think much about it, she had her own arrangements, she just asked casually.

"Yang Yonghong, dormitory 307, I have your letter!"

Just as he was talking, someone from the girls' building went to the reception room to pick up the letter, and took Yang Yonghong's letter back casually: "It fell into the crack of the table, it must be half a month old."

But it was a letter from Yang Yonghong's house. Seeing the end of the period, the reception room was cleaned before the letter was removed from the crevice of the table.

Xia Xiaolan didn't dare to disturb her, "Hurry up and see if there is something at home, don't delay."

Yang Yonghong's family rarely writes letters to her, and stamps cost money to buy. Knowing that there will be a holiday at the end of the period, it is even more impossible to waste this money.

Besides, her parents didn't know a few words, and everything was written by Yang Yonghong's younger siblings.

Yang Yonghong was also anxious in her heart. Could it be that something happened at home? If I didn't see the letter was delayed, wouldn't it be a lifetime regret? Opening the letter in a hurry, Yang Yonghong's face showed joy, and after a while, he became sad again.

"Boss, what's the matter, what happened at home?"

Yang Yonghong sighed, "My brother is 20 years old this year, and his family wants to marry him. The woman is a middle school teacher in the town. I met him during the Chinese New Year, and it looked okay, and I didn't think my family was poor."

Yang Yonghong repeated her studies for three years before she was admitted to Huaqing University. At the beginning of the school year, everyone compared her age. She is 23 years old this year, three years older than her brother.

For a 20-year-old young man, it's time for a kiss in the countryside.

Not all men are the more popular the older they are. In the city, they can still say that they should fight for their career first. What is there to fight in the countryside? There can only be one reason for older men not getting married: the poor have no money to marry a daughter-in-law!

It was a happy event, but Yang Yonghong sighed, and Xia Xiaolan guessed that it was because of financial pressure.

"Boss, is the money out of hand?"

Yang Yonghong scratched his head:

"Isn't it! The woman's family wants four pieces and 200 yuan for the marriage of the woman's elder brother."

Not to mention the money in advance, the four major items are not too much. In the 1970s, no rural family could afford these things. Now in 1985, the distribution of farmland to households has made life a lot easier for some rural families, raising chickens by themselves. There is no limit to the number of pigs, and some families are slowly saving up.

But Yang Yonghong's family is different. Her family is very poor.

In some parts of the city, four new items have emerged: black and white televisions, refrigerators, quartz watches, and tape recorders.

To buy all these things, at least 3,000 yuan.

Xia Xiaolan guessed that Yang Yonghong's future siblings would want the fourth largest item.

Watches, sewing machines, bicycles and radios.

These things add up to not expensive, not more than 800 yuan. Of course, Xia Xiaolan thinks it is not expensive, what can Yang Yonghong's family do if they can't afford the money.

"Boss, how much is left-"

Yang Yonghong interrupted Xia Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, I don't want to borrow money from you, I want to ask you, are there still people in the store to sell clothes?"

It is said that college students are the favored sons of heaven, and those who can be admitted to Huaqing University are envied by all the four villages and eight townships. Yang Yonghong knew that if she hadn't done well in the exam, the woman who was a teacher in the town would not look down on her brother who graduated from high school and worked as a farmer at home. Yang Yonghong's younger brother also passed the specialist course last year, and is supposed to be able to continue his studies, but the Yang family lacks labor, and the weight of the junior college is too low compared to the Huaqing University that Yang Yonghong took the exam.

Yang Yonghong never said these things in the bedroom. Her family was poor, but Yang Yonghong had self-esteem and was unwilling to sell hardships. Hearing that Xia Xiaolan wanted to borrow money, Yang Yonghong quickly refused.

There is no need to borrow money. If Xiaolan's clothing store is still recruiting, Yang Yonghong wants to earn some wages by himself.

Xia Xiaolan immediately reacted:

"Are you going to stay in Beijing for the summer vacation?"

Yang Yonghong nodded heavily, "I'll help with some work when I go back. The most important thing now is to help my elder brother collect enough dowry gifts. Don't be embarrassed, Xiaolan. If your store is not short of people, I will think of other ways."

Anyway, she is not lacking in strength, and she stays in the capital to try her luck to see if she can work odd jobs for two months.

The identity of a college student is sometimes very valuable. It seems that it is not a big deal in such a situation. Yang Yonghong doesn't feel that he has any figure that can't be pulled down!

Xia Xiaolan pondered for a while.

"Boss, don't worry about the clothing store. If you go to this job, you will earn money, but you will waste two months. I know that you can't leave your book in your hands even when you are on vacation."

Yang Yonghong is not in a hurry, she knows that Xia Xiaolan has more to do.

Sure enough, I heard Xia Xiaolan ask her again:

"How is your brother's health, is it okay to work?"

Yang Yonghong was at a loss, "I don't lack strength. You can see from my physique that everyone in our family is not short."

Xia Xiaolan knew it.

To be admitted to a junior college, there is absolutely no intellectual defect, there is no reason for farmers

Can Yang Yonghong's younger brother learn about trade unions?

"Send a telegram to your home and ask him if he would like to work in Pengcheng. If he does a good job in the summer vacation for two months, he will be able to collect enough money for the four major items. If you are worried, boss, come with me. Go to Pengcheng, I also have work to do for you."

Huaqing civil engineering department, it is really a waste to go to the clothing store to the shopping guide.

Yang Yonghong studied dumb English, but being admitted to Huaqing was much better than the average person.

Yang Yonghong is also very strong in mathematics as a student of civil engineering... Xia Xiaolan turned Gong Yang to Yuanhui to do interior decoration design. Judging from the idea of ​​Xia Xiaolan, a straight girl of steel, studying art is really not good for her, and she doesn't become famous. The painter starved himself to death before, wouldn't he be blind, so Xia Xiaolan didn't feel guilty at all for turning Gong Yang on.

Each gets what they need, Gong Yangtu makes money, and Xia Xiaolan trains a designer for her uncle.

When it was Yang Yonghong's turn, Xia Xiaolan didn't dare to delay Yang Yonghong's future. The decoration can be cultivated, and the civil engineering department taught Xia Xiaolan herself.

But occasionally there is a venue for practice, let Yang Yonghong do a part-time job, it is not harmful to think about it, right?

Yang Yonghong trusts Xia Xiaolan very much. Xiaolan said that if she finds a job for her brother, she will not fool people.

Yang Yonghong hugged Xia Xiaolan hard: "Xiaolan, thank you! I'll send a telegram to my family right now!"

He is willing to go to Pengcheng to work, the family is very poor, her elder brother is a very sensible character, and it is impossible not to want to get married for his own sake!
