The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Chapter 570 Qin Huairu Returns to the Workshop

A few days later, Qin Huairu returned to the workshop to work as she wished.

In the courtyard, Qin Huairu returned home from get off work, her face full of fatigue.

After all, the work in the workshop is much more tiring than that in the canteen. Not only does it require heavy work, but you are also covered in dust after get off work every day, just like Qin Huairu is now, covered in dust.

Qin Huairu passed by the front courtyard and greeted the neighbors she met.

"Auntie, are you doing the laundry?"

Qin Huairu was talking with a smile to an auntie who was beating clothes hard by the pool.

"Hey, it's Huairu. Why are you so late today? Don't you usually come back early?"

When the aunt saw Qin Huairu, she asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"You're covered in dust. Did you fall on the road?"

"Nothing, it's just that it will be this late from now on."

Qin Huairu smiled and replied, "I was transferred to the workshop and am no longer in the kitchen."

"What, you changed your position?"

The aunt asked Qin Huairu in surprise.

"Yes, the salary in the kitchen is low, so I tried to switch to the workshop."

Qin Huairu said cheerfully, but seeing how tired she looked, the aunt said with a stern look on her face: "Are you stupid? The kitchen is such a good job, why don't you want it?"

Qin Huairu didn't say much, but waved goodbye.

"Auntie, I have to go back and cook for the kids, let's not talk for now."

There are basically no secrets in the Siheyuan. In less than two hours, the news that Qin Huairu used her connections to return to the workshop spread throughout the courtyard.

Apart from the men who work, it turns out that these non-working women all think that Qin Huairu is a little crazy. She gave up such a good job in the cafeteria and insisted on going to the workshop to move parts. They all secretly cursed Qin Huairu for being stupid.

Only the men who are responsible for earning money to support their families understand that there is no future in the kitchen. After all, if you don't know how to cook, no matter how long you work in the kitchen, you can only get that fixed salary, and then increase your salary based on your seniority. There is no other chance of salary increase at all.

Instead, they thought that Qin Huairu had figured it out and knew how to make more money.

"What, you went back to the workshop?"

Jia Zhang was surprised when she heard the news.

"Mom, why are you reacting so strongly? You're just going back to the workshop. You're still going to get paid the same salary as usual."

Qin Huairu said calmly.

Jia Zhang sat down next to Qin Huairu and whispered, "I'm not talking about this, I just wonder who will teach you when you go to the workshop?"

"Isn't it still Yi Zhonghai?"

Jia Zhang had a look of alertness on her face.

"Mom, what are you thinking about? I'm going to workshop three this time, and Uncle Yi is in workshop one."

Qin Huairu said unhappily.

"That's good. Hey, but I remember that the third workshop is not a fitter, right?"

Only then did Jia Zhang realize what was going on.

"Yes, the third workshop is for welders. I spent the whole afternoon learning it and I don't think it's that difficult."

Qin Huairu said while chewing on a steamed bun.

"Okay, whatever you want. Banggeng is a boy anyway, so he can be a fitter or welder."

Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu had the same idea. They felt that Banggeng would take over the job sooner or later, so they had no objections.

After all, Qin Huairu explained earlier that it was for Banggeng's future, saying that she didn't want Banggeng to be a handyman in the cafeteria in the future. Jia Zhang also agreed with this.

"By the way, who did you ask for help this time? Was it Liu Minghui from the front yard?"

Jia Zhang continued to ask.

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Yes, I went to see Deputy Director Liu once, and he agreed directly."

"Humph, considering his help, I won't stab you."

Jia Zhang was muttering something, and Qin Huairu heard it, and her face suddenly turned dark.

It turns out that Jia Zhang also has this skill.

"Mom, keep your voice down. Don't let anyone know. Otherwise, you'll have to live in the neighborhood office's cowshed next time."

Qin Huairu whispered to her, and Jia Zhang nodded immediately, saying, "Of course, I'm not stupid. There are a few people in the study class who have to live in the cowshed because of this. I don't want to live with them."

Speaking of living in the cowshed, Jia Zhang suddenly said with a look of fear on her face.

Fortunately, Director Shen did not take it too seriously at the time. Jia Zhang heard from others that an old lady was reported because she took money from others and called back the soul of that family's child.

Director Shen took people to arrest the other party that day.

Strictly speaking, Jia Zhangshi is not much inferior.

After all, one is calling a living person, and the other is calling the dead Lao Jia, Jia Dongxu, so there is not much difference.

"Oh. By the way, why would Liu Minghui help us? Doesn't he look down on our family?"

Jia Zhang had a puzzled look on her face. She really couldn't understand why Liu Minghui had insisted on sending her to the street office last time, but now he was helping her.

Jia Zhang felt that something was wrong here.

Seeing Jia Zhang's expression gradually turn into suspicion, Qin Huairu said unhappily, "Come on, don't think too much. She doesn't ask for anything. Besides, she doesn't really want it even if I give myself to her."

Qin Huairu said this with self-mockery.

"Well, that's true. After all, it's normal for people to look down on you."

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang agreed with what Qin Huairu said and nodded repeatedly, which made Qin Huairu very angry.

"Bang Geng, when will your homeroom teacher come to visit your home?"

As a last resort, Qin Huairu looked at Bang Geng beside her and asked when Ran Qiuye would come.

"Our teacher said he will come the day after tomorrow."

Banggeng was eating a steamed bun with one hand. When he heard Qin Huairu's question, he raised his head and answered.

"The day after tomorrow. That happens to be a good time for me to not have to go to work, and I can talk to your head teacher about your studies then."

Qin Huairu was very worried about Banggeng's academic performance.

Qin Huairu no longer expects her son to go to college or technical secondary school. She only hopes that Banggeng can successfully graduate from elementary school and enter junior high school.

"Ah. Mom, you still have to ask these questions."

Banggeng gets annoyed when he hears about studying.

"Of course. You are the only boy in our family. If you don't study hard, what will you do if you don't have a job in the future?"

Qin Huairu warned in a gentle voice.

"Look at Jiefang from Teacher Yan's family in the front yard. He doesn't study hard and wants to drop out of school to work, but where can he find a job? This is the consequence of not studying hard, do you know?"

Qin Huairu also cited Yan Bugui's family in the front yard as an example.

"Humph, I won't be like Mr. Yan, who is stingy. I will definitely have a job in the future."

Unexpectedly, Banggeng was very unconvinced. He kept mentioning the nickname that Jia Zhang had given to Yan Bugui with an attitude of disdain.

"Hey, who told you to yell like that? You should call him Second Uncle, or at least Teacher Yan."

Qin Huairu was dissatisfied, and grabbed Banggeng's ears and warned him: "Don't shout like that outside, or others will be unhappy if they hear you."

"Oh, it hurts, Mom, please let go. I get it. I won't scream like that outside."

Bang Geng begged for mercy quickly. Qin Huairu let go of his hand upon seeing this. She then looked at Jia Zhang and said unhappily, "Mom, why do you always teach Bang Geng these things? He doesn't learn the good things but only the bad ones."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't usually make friends with him. I just curse at him occasionally."

Qin Huairu held her forehead and smiled bitterly, thinking that it turned out that Jia Zhang still hated Yan Bugui.
