Li Yuefen is here and sitting in the room.

The four children were all staying in the yard.

It's late autumn, how cold the night is!

Lin Yutong frowned: "Why don't you stay in the house?"

Chaoyang glanced into the room and said aggrievedly: "We were eating peach cakes when my grandma came. She asked us to ask for peach cakes, and she even stuffed the whole bag into the golden pimple and asked him to take it home.

Even the half-eaten one by Zhiyang Yang was taken away."

Li Yuefen was also quite embarrassed. When she came in, she saw four children eating peach cakes. They were picking and choosing while eating, saying that they were too dry and there was no milk to drink. They wanted to drink goat milk.

These kids are so spoiled!

Peach cake must be eaten with goat's milk. Do you know that there are children who haven't tasted peach cake in several years?

Since you don’t like eating, then don’t eat. You’re used to this problem!

She took away the peach cakes from Jiaoyang's hand, but not from Chaoyang. But who knew, it was her grandson who complained first.

At this moment, she came out of the main room and said, "I'm not talking about you two, you are not used to spoiling children..." She kept talking.

The fourth master and Lin Yutong listened patiently, and the fourth master asked, "Are you finished?"

Li Yuefen was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to react. It took a long time before she said: "Let's not talk about the child's welfare today, but let's talk about your third brother's work..."

"That's it..." Fourth Master interrupted her and then dismissed her, "I understand, you can go back first."

Li Yuefen couldn't tell whether her son was happy or unhappy. She didn't know what to say at the moment, so she just said: "Then you should rest first...tomorrow..."

The fourth master didn't wait for her to finish speaking. After she stepped out, he closed the door directly from the inside.

Jiaoyang pulled her mother's clothes uneasily: "...Did we do something wrong?"

Of course you are not wrong!

Lin Yutong doesn't feel the need to endure people who snatch food from their granddaughter and give it to her grandson.

Don’t you have to work?

Give him a job!

The station from Lingtai Station to the mine has already started construction. There is a dispatch station between the two sections of railway. Of course, road patrolmen are also needed.

The next day, Fourth Master asked Lao San: "The salary of railway workers is also good, and we are recruiting workers now. Our daily job is to patrol the road. If you want to go..."

"I want to go." Lao San said quickly, "Of course I want to go."

What kind of heavy steel industry is this in his village? He doesn't understand it. But in the beginning, it wasn't about mining and building houses?

Whether it's building a house or mining, it's all tiring and unrewarding work. Of course he doesn't want to do it anymore.

Now that he can work as a railway worker, he is particularly willing to do so.

"Then go back and wait for the notice." Then he emphasized, "You can bring your family members!"

The third child was about to think about bringing family members so close, but when he looked up and met his brother's eyes, he understood in an instant that this brother was no longer the same brother as before. He could arrange work for himself, but the premise was that he had to bring his own family with him.

Come on, mother. The corners of his mouth moved, and his words turned into a sigh: "I know... I will find a way..."

Go home and discuss with Liu Lingdang: "...Mom will definitely not want to leave. What do you think we should do about this? How should we tell my mother!"

No matter what you say, it doesn’t work!

Liu Lingdang said in her heart: Not only does she not want to leave, I don’t want to leave either.

But instead of saying that, she thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid that if we leave, our relationship with my brother-in-law will be further deepened. I mean, it's better for me and Liao Da to stay at home. As for me, even if I go

Helping in the canteen is still a job. As for the pimples... I'm not telling you, what will happen if you are uneducated in the future? There used to be a small school in our village, but it has not been open in the past two years. Children have to go to the town to go to school.

Go up. But mother, she couldn’t bear to bear the knot. She was so stunned that she never went to school for a day. I don’t know what you and mother are thinking. I just ask you, have you seen Chaoyang and Jiaoyang? Those two children

Not smaller than a lump? But you people read and write, even if there is no school, they don’t need anyone to push them at home, they have to learn what they need to learn. That child eats and drinks well. Look at it like that. Don’t you feel sorry for your parents?

?No! If you really care about your children, you have to ask them to learn. My brother-in-law is now at the same level as a county magistrate, right? Are they ignorant people? How can knowledgeable people urge their children to learn skills? We won’t do it.

Do you want to follow the same example? Look at the factories here, the bungalows for accommodation and the school are built at the same time. They pay close attention to the children's studies. Let's go to school. You can't let your mother spoil you anymore. This will harm the children.

of!"

The third child stopped talking. He smoked a bag of dry cigarettes and then said: "What you mean is that you want me to take mom away and leave you and the child behind."

Nothing like this!

Seeing that the third child didn't look like he could agree, Liu Lingdang added: "I have an idea, but I don't know if you are sure about it. If you hadn't said you were going to the railway, I wouldn't have thought of going up here... This is also for you.

good."

"What's going on?" The third child was puzzled.

Liu Lingdang closed the window and spoke in a lower voice, "...Mother's cousin, isn't he working in the staff canteen at the station... When mother was buying Liao Tao some fine food, she went to see your cousin...

Do you remember this?"

The third child nodded: "Yeah. Why don't you remember? I haven't contacted you for several years, but I came here during the Chinese New Year. I didn't even eat when I came, so I left half a bag of cabbage leaves."

"Yes!" Liu Lingdang said: "I overheard it all. Why are you here? What did you say that you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything? You have something to do! He wants to arrange a job for his son, so he

He has to curry favor with their webmaster. How to curry favor? He figured it out. The old webmaster is sixty and his wife is dead. He came here to tell my mother to the old webmaster..."

"Hu..." Before he could say anything, Liu Lingdang covered his mouth.

"Don't make any noise. Listen to what I have to say." Liu Lingdang glared at the third child, "What are you yelling for?! My mother said at that time that if they were willing to arrange a job for you, even if it was a temporary job,

She is willing to do both."

The third child said ‘ah’: “Mother, does she… want to remarry?”

Don’t you want to remarry?!

If you are given a job, remarriage will not be excluded.

But Liu Lingdang did not say this out loud, and just said vaguely: "... Our life has been difficult in the past two years. Mom must have to find a way. If you have a job, the family can live a better life. Besides,

My father is gone. My mother is alone again. The old stationmaster over there is also an official. He is in charge of people and things. Not to mention the conditions of my mother, she is twenty years younger.

, it’s not impossible to find them. At that time, I felt that this thing couldn’t be done, and if they agreed to my mother’s conditions, we would be taking advantage. But after waiting and waiting, there was no action from there, so I guess they were still not happy. But now

It’s different again. I think there is a 80% chance that they will agree. And this matter will definitely be good for you and us. You said, you can’t just come back and ask your brother-in-law for everything. My brother-in-law is not directly in charge of the railway...

But no matter what this webmaster does, it is easy to promote you. Even if you are promoted only once and become a small leader, we will all benefit from it for the rest of our lives."

The third child was in a dilemma: "Mom... I'm afraid she may not agree to it now."

Who would remarry if he had a capable son?

Liu Lingdang lowered her head and smiled: "Then you go ask your cousin, we are children, it's not easy to talk to mother about this. But cousin... and mother are siblings after all. What does Xu mother have to say?

Are you willing to tell him..."

But I thought in my heart that as long as my cousin was not stupid, he would facilitate this.

Sure enough, the third child ran to Lingtai Station, found his cousin, and asked: "You proposed to my mother to remarry. What did my mother say at that time..."

I put forward a lot of conditions, but I just declined them politely.

The cousin was just about to say this, but then he thought it was wrong. My cousin would not ask this for no reason.

He said: "Your mother... is lonely and pitiful..."

This is not an answer, but it is also an admission in another sense. It is an admission that Li Yuefen does have the idea of ​​​​remarrying.

This made the third brother feel particularly uncomfortable. Without saying anything else, he went directly to the temporary headquarters on the construction site to find the fourth master: "Fourth... I want to tell you something..."

With so many people, we can only go somewhere a little far away from everyone.

Lin Yutong was organizing people to distribute registration forms to those who came to register, when she saw the fourth master and the third son leaving. She thought something was wrong with Li Yuefen, but she chased after them and found out that it was not the case.

The third child looked like he was about to cry and said, "I don't know what my mother is thinking. She is still thinking about remarrying at this age. When your sister-in-law said it before, I didn't believe it. Today I made a special trip to ask her.

My uncle, my cousin, what I mean...my mother just wants to get married."

This is really unexpected.

The Fourth Master's idea is to arrange the Third Brother's branch elsewhere.

The job at the railway is really good. People like Liu Lingdang and others can be arranged. Conductors and the like are absolutely possible. A large organization like the railway has its own school, so it is very convenient for children to go to school. In the future, children will be

When they grew up, they also gave priority to their internal children. Li Yuefen couldn't live without her grandson, so she naturally followed him. Lingtai is not far from the village, but even if it is not far, it is not easy to meet often. Otherwise, it would be difficult

I always see her coming in and out. She has such an attitude towards her children, and she is her own mother. How can we arrange it?

Lin Yutong also thinks that Fourth Master’s arrangement is quite good.

Fragrant in the distance and smelly in the near.

If you don't want to get along, then stay away.

But I never thought about pushing the mother out of the house and asking her to remarry if she couldn't get along with her.

This is absolutely impossible.

Lin Yutong didn't believe it either. If his son was successful, everyone would have to flatter him. Why should he get married?
To be continued...
