Good Dad System (Arc 4) Chapter 42.4: The Eccentric Dad In The Chronicles (30)

Pei Jiancheng acknowledged: “I asked a few people. The ones recruiting workers now include machinery factories, electronics factories, and textile factories. I can go there with my academic qualifications, but they only recruit workshop workers. I heard that I have to queue up to become a regular employee. There is also rumor that there are no vacancies for early registration. I have inquired about this many times. It happened that the allocation was canceled and the position could only be given to one child. Many internal employees got the news in advance and asked their relatives or children to sign up. I also heard from people in the factory that priority would be given to children of factory employees.

 

Then my classmate said there was shortage of sales.” He was afraid his father wouldn’t understand, so he explained, “The factory employees are retiring, and they don’t have younger generations at home, or they already have jobs. He said he still has some items he wants to sell, but they’ll cost at least three or four hundred yuan.”

 

“Another option is to get a temporary job in the county for 100 or 200 yuan. The supply and marketing cooperative is not short of people, but you can go to the post office or something like that, but I don’t think you can get a permanent job.” Pei Jiancheng added, “The captain said last time that if I don’t mind, I can go back to the village to do some work, half-time, and help out at the fishery the rest of the time.”

 

“Well, I understand.” Pei Naochun handed the clothes to his son. He thought about it and quickly made a decision. He confirmed, “Then tell Dad, no matter how much money, where do you want to go?”

 

Pei Jiancheng lowered his head for a long time and murmured, “I want to stay in the county, even as a temporary worker.” He did not consider working in a factory as it would cost too much money.

 

“Okay, wait until dinner time.”

 

Pei Jiancheng nodded. In fact, he was very conflicted. After struggling for so many years, he really considered staying in the city as his dream. But on the other hand, he had already spent so much money from his family, and it would be unreasonable for him to spend more.

 

…

 

Since moving to the new house, the original square dining table was replaced with a bigger one. Pei Naochun was very foresighted. He knew that the family would have more and more people in the future. Of course, when he changed the table, he suspected that Li Xiuzhi would poison him every day when he woke up. Fortunately, the other party still had the rationality to control herself.

 

At this moment, except for Pei Zhuyi who was still sleeping soundly in the room, and Pei Lanyi who was still in Zhu Zhenzhen’s belly, it can be said that the whole family gathered together and the seat was full. It is conceivable that in the future, the room will be so crowded that it will be crowded.

 

When Li Xiuzhi knew Pei Jiancheng had returned, she immediately added another dish, steamed eggs with clams. She asked Jianlai to run errands to the village fishery to get the clams, and the eggs were laid by her own chickens. The partiality in her heart still existed, and whenever her youngest son came back, she would add another dish. However, she was also influenced by Pei Naochun, so even if she added another dish, the whole family had to eat together, and she no longer cooked separately like before.

 

Even the two daughters-in-law did not find this unusual behavior. After all, their brother-in-law was not often at home, and studying was hard, so it was only natural for him to come back and make up for it. Besides, wouldn’t they also benefit from it?

 

Even though the food was richer and more substantial than before, Pei Jianshe and Pei Jianlai still didn’t change their habit of eating like hungry tigers. Before the people around them had even finished half of their meals, they were already burping. Pei Naochun and his wife tried to correct this bad habit several times but failed. Su Bifang and Zhu Zhenzhen had been secretly on guard in their hearts and decided to keep the children away from these two rough guys, so that they wouldn’t learn this eating habit, which was so uncivilized! They were secretly looking forward to contacting their brother-in-law. It would be great if their children could read and be educated in the future! Anyway, they must not be like their father, who is good but stupid!

 

Pei Jianshe and Pei Jianlai had already come back from washing the dishes. They were bored and each took a basket of corn cobs and started breaking the corn kernels.

 

Pei Naochun put down his chopsticks and cleared his throat: “Today, I have something I want to talk to you all about.” As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked over and put down what they were doing. He stood up and quickly went to the room to get some paper and a pen. The papers were all waste paper with one side used, which he usually used to draft his clothes.

 

“The thing is, our Jiancheng is about to graduate, and everyone knows about this.” Everyone agreed, and he continued, “But everyone also knows that Jiancheng has studied very hard over the years and has good grades. If he can stay in the county, it will definitely be better than staying in the village.”

 

“Then it must be better in the city.” Although Li Xiuzhi didn’t know what her husband was going to say, she still agreed.

 

“Now there is such a situation. Since their school has been built, they cannot be assigned jobs. They have to find jobs on their own. I have also heard from people several times that as long as you are willing to spend money, you can find a job in a machinery factory or other factories.” He added, “But the salary must be at least this amount, three or four hundred yuan or more.”

 

“Working in the city is really valuable!” Pei Jianlai looked at his wife in surprise, “If Jiancheng had such a job, he could still sell it for money if he quits!”

 

“How can we sell it? We have to leave it for our children in the future!” Zhu Zhenzhen hit her husband. “There is a relative in our village who works in the city. He has a high salary and bonuses!”

 

“That’s great only someone with Jianshe’s academic qualifications can go there! Not everyone can go there!” Pei Jianshe added.

 

Pei Naochun ignored their discussion and continued, “A few years ago, when Jiancheng hadn’t yet gone to technical secondary school, I told everyone that we should work hard in the next few years to save some money for him…”
