Chapter 238 First the villain and then the gentleman
"Sister, I think Li Gang's family can try it." Liang Xiaobei said, "Li Gang and his father can watch the fish pond for us, cut grass to feed the fish, and look after the potatoes over there. You can get them to do it."
Zhou Yan asked why, and said: "You mean Li Jianhua's family? I have a little impression that his family has four older sisters. His mother and older sister are fierce. Li Jianhua has no status in the family. They are all old ladies. You want to help them. Be careful, to prevent being taken advantage of by the old lady."
Liang Xiaobei said: "It's not that I don't give money, how can I rely on us?"
"There are too many ways to rely on you: no one at home works, delays work, does not get food, asks you for money and food; Li Jianhua is not in good health, asks you for medical expenses; You give money and food...there are too many ways."
"How can she depend on us? She can't ask for money or food, but she can't ask for it from us. At most, she can ask Li Jianhua and his family."
"Then let me ask you, the old lady came to your village every three days, squatted in the fish pond to fight with Li Jianhua, and came to your sister if she couldn't achieve her goal. Is your sister doing well?"
Liang Xiaobei really didn't think of this level, and Liang Xiaonan didn't even think that she wanted to take care of Li Jianhua's family.
"If you want to come, just ask Li Gang to come. Ask Liu Qingshan to make an agreement with their family. Both parties will sign. No trouble is allowed. If there is trouble, you will not be paid a penny. You have to find the responsibility. Let's talk about the ugly things first. .”
Because the current above policy allows self-employed people to do business, but it is not allowed to hire people. Hiring people is exploitation, so if you really want to ask Li Gang for help, you should do it quietly.
While Zhou Yan was speaking, he stood up, closed the outer door and the main room door, and said in a low voice: "We are looking for people to work, don't think about them coming to help, and don't think about giving them alms, we are just hiring and being hired. Of course we told the outside world, to Liu Qingshan, that we want to help the needy households, but we can’t involve emotions in our hearts.”
Liang Xiaonan agrees with Zhou Yan's opinion very much. As a manager who has emerged from the workplace, the employment must rely on the labor contract, first discuss the rules, and then combine feelings.
Otherwise, the little friendship she saved Li Gang would not only disappear in the time spent with each other, but it's hard to say whether it would become resentment.
"Then ask Mayor Liu Qingshan to be an intermediary." Liang Xiaonan said, "Speak all the ugly things first, and ask the old lady and Li Jianhua's family to sign."
Grandma Liang was very flustered. Liang Xiaobei went to Modu, and life suddenly became chaotic. The family was living a good life, but they had settled down for half a year. Why did they send their grandson away?
This is gone, when can I come back?
"Why did you send Xiaobei away?" Grandma Liang said worriedly, "Who will take care of him outside? He's still young!"
Liang Xiaonan answered, "I didn't send him away. I contacted experts to teach him to sing. Xiaobei is talented and can become a singer. We didn't have money and we couldn't go anywhere. Now that we have money, I want to give Xiaobei Living the life of a city person, I don’t want him to stay in Dakeng Village for the rest of his life.”
Speaking in this way is down-to-earth, and it is easier for Grandma Liang to understand and accept her.
Zhou Yan also said: "Grandma, he went to Ciguo Oriental Performing Arts Group, which is a national unit. If Xiaobei performs well, he can become an official actor, get paid for food, and sing songs for national leaders all over the world."
Sure enough, Grandma Liang understood. If this is the case, her grandson will be really promising. Smoke will rise from the ancestral grave, and all the ancestors will laugh.
She is very reluctant, Xiaobei is only 14 years old after the new year.
In fact, Liang Xiaobei was also very flustered when he went to Modu alone. He had been staying in Dakeng Village before, and he rarely went to Xiaoyun Town. He was too panicked, but his sister and brother-in-law contacted an acquaintance as a teacher for him, so he felt that it should not be so scary.
Anyway, he likes to sing, as long as he can sing, not drag his sister down, and even help her, he is willing to do it!
There are still three days to celebrate the new year, the sky is a bit gloomy, after lunch, snowflakes started to fall again, Yang Hanlin said: "Xiaonan, let's go back, otherwise the snow will be too heavy soon."
Zhou Yan said: "Xiaonan, come with me to Sister Hu's house, let's go and see her, thank her for protecting us as a matchmaker. I would have gone by myself, but I think she will be fine if you go with me. Happier."
Liang Xiaonan had nothing to do at home and said, "Okay, then let's go and give her some New Year gifts together."
Zhou Yan has prepared two carps, a pair of live chickens, and 2 catties of pork.
Liang Xiaonan put strawberries in a basket, paper walnuts in a basket, and apples in a basket. Fuji apples haven't become popular in the town yet, and even if they are available in Yu County, the taste is definitely not as good as hers.
Pack more for Yang Hanlin and Zeng Hanzhi, using large back baskets, each carrying 40 catties.
The pickup truck was full when it came, and it was still full when it returned.
Yang Hanlin and Zeng Hanzhi were very embarrassed. Grandma Liang said: "These are all grown by Xiaonan himself. They are not good things. You can try them."
Zeng Hanzhi said: "This must be a good thing. The meat can still be bought on the street. The things we grow in Xiaonan can't be bought in the whole country of porcelain."
Grandma Liang is very happy. Her granddaughter is liked by her in-laws, and she has something to do with it.
Zhou Yan sent Yang Hanlin and Zeng Hanzhi home first, and unloaded Liang Xiaonan's gift to his grandparents.
The snow was already falling, but fortunately Zhou Yan drove the car, otherwise it was snowing so heavily, and bringing so many things to Sister Hu would really make her fall.
Sister Hu's family lives in the south of the town, not on the street, and there is a dirt road in front of the house, because she has been very conscientious in matching people, and the family's financial conditions are not bad. All three sons are married, and the daughter is also married. Just her and her husband.
Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan went to her house and parked the car in the woods in front of her house.
The weather is bad today, and it’s the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. Miss Hu didn’t go out. She was frying radish **** and lotus root clips at home. When Zhou Yan came over, she excitedly stopped all her work and said happily: “Oh, little one, You're here? It's snowing so much, come in quickly, don't be cold."
Here in Yu County, the elders call the boys of the younger generation fondly "little", the tongue is slightly rolled, and the sound is not as strong as "er".
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Auntie, I'll come to see you and bring you a big fish."
"Hahaha" Sister Hu's voice was particularly hearty. Seeing Zhou Yan go out, she followed, and found that Zhou Yan came by car, and there were many gifts piled up in the car.
She didn't reach out, not because she didn't want to help, but because she wasn't sure that these gifts were all for herself. If someone only gave her one of them, it would be bad if she stretched out her hand!
Liang Xiaonan jumped down from the co-pilot and smiled sweetly at Sister Hu: "Auntie, Happy New Year."
