After his old father-in-law left, Zhou Yang couldn't help but shook his head!
My father-in-law is such a sensible person, and he is impeccable in everything he does!
Although both places were given to the second brother and his family, the couple had to subsidize half of their first-year salary to other companies.
Even so, they should be happy, after all, work is a lifelong matter.
As for other companies, although they did not get valuable job opportunities, they were able to get a "huge sum" of one hundred yuan for free, which was very satisfying to think about.
In addition, the old father-in-law compensated himself 500 yuan out of his own pocket, which was basically relatively fair.
As expected of an old party secretary who has been a party secretary for more than ten years, I can't say that I can't say this level.
Even though Zhou Yang was reborn, he felt that in terms of human sophistication, he was still not as good as his father-in-law, who was less than fifty years old. This was called real sobriety in the world.
However, Zhou Yang will definitely not want the 500 yuan!
As he said just now, the old house has really helped them a lot over the years. Whether it is money, food or other aspects, he has received favors from others.
So, with all this in mind, how could he ask for money from his old father-in-law?
Although he also knew that his old father-in-law had a salary and was entitled to a head-count ration, so he was definitely not short of money, but it had nothing to do with whether he was short of money or not.
However, Zhou Yang looked at his old father-in-law's attitude and it seemed that it would be impossible not to.
After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Yang decided to give Li Youwei a headache!
As for how they handle the relationship between father and daughter in the end, it's up to them, so I don't want to interfere.
But there is one very important thing to do right now, and that is to prepare a full-moon gift for the little guy at the fourth brother’s family!
This little guy was born while Zhou Yang watched him, but he didn't pay attention. In the blink of an eye, he was already one month old.
Saibei here pays more attention to the child's full moon and his overall performance as an uncle.
At that moment, Zhou Yang decided to go to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon to see what there was to buy!
.........
Zhou Yang spent the whole morning in the office translating manuscripts!
There was no way, Lao Yang was urging me too quickly.
There are a total of 7 textbooks, all of which must be translated before the start of school in September.
At present, he has only translated two books, and there are still five books left.
Zhou Yang has briefly read through these textbooks. They are all printed according to one-semester courses, basically 8 to 10 units, and each unit has about 10,000 words.
In other words, one textbook is about 80,000 to 100,000 words, and five books are about 500,000 words.
Putting aside the time required for translation, just transcribing these 500,000 words is a huge project.
Fortunately, formulas and derivation methods occupy a considerable space in chemistry textbooks. These do not require time to be translated, but can save some time.
But even so, it was still very tight to translate all five textbooks in half a month.
So Zhou Yang decided that in the coming time, he would try not to be distracted by other things and concentrate on translating the manuscript!
It was almost noon, and Zhou Yang had just finished translating the third unit of the third textbook!
Just when I was thinking about whether to go home for dinner, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside the door.
Looking up, he saw Li Youwei walking in carrying a lunch box.
Seeing Zhou Yang looking straight at her, Li Youwei's pretty face turned red when she thought of the absurdity last night!
"What delicious food did you make?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Stir-fried cabbage, rice!"
When he heard it was "prison rice," Zhou Yang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. The so-called prison rice was actually millet.
Millet can not only be used to make porridge, but can also be steamed and eaten like rice, but the taste is not very good and a bit astringent.
Therefore, in the early years, this was what prisoners were fed here, so millet was also called "prison rice" in the Saibei area.
Like oatmeal, rice noodles are also one of Zhou Yang's dislikes.
Li Youwei smiled and said: "Okay, let's have a meal like this for lunch. In the evening, An An will celebrate the full moon at the old house. There will be wine and meat by then. I hope you have a good meal!"
"Okay!" Zhou Yang said helplessly.
After saying that, he opened the aluminum lunch box.
However, I saw that there was no rice in the lunch box. It turned out to be white rice.
The dish is not plain stir-fried cabbage, but with lard residue. It looks oily and fragrant, and is very appetizing!
Zhou Yang looked up at his wife, only to find that she was looking at him with a wicked smile.
"I'm lying to you, you work so hard every day, how can I let you go to jail!" Li Youwei said with a smile.
"Did you eat rice for lunch?" Zhou Yang said suddenly.
"You...how do you know?" Li Youwei said in surprise.
After finishing speaking, I suddenly realized that I had said the wrong thing and was immediately at a loss.
"This rice is obviously steamed out of a lunch box. The rice on the edge is stuck to the lunch box. You can tell at a glance!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "Besides, there are still a few grains of millet stuck under the lunch box. It's probably you who put the lunch box on top of the millet and steamed it together, right?"
Li Youwei smiled and said: "Actually, millet is not unpalatable. Besides, our family shared 1,560 kilograms of millet last year. How can we finish it just by cooking porridge?"
Zhou Yang was moved and said immediately: "Yes, millet is not bad to eat. I will eat whatever you eat from now on!"
Li Youwei smiled and did not answer the question, but said: "Eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold!"
"Um!"
While Zhou Yang was eating, Li Youwei picked up a broken basin in the office and went to the big bucket outside to get some water.
Spread some on the ground, then pick up the broom and dustpan to sweep the ground!
The brigade office is actually a place for village cadres to stay. In addition, except for a female director who doesn't come often, there are no other lesbians among the village cadres.
With just a few grown men, no one was too lazy to clean the house, so the ground was full of dirt.
After cleaning, Li Youwei found another rag and wiped Zhou Yang's desk before resting with satisfaction.
At this time, Zhou Yang had also finished eating. After closing the lid of the lunch box, he immediately said: "Dad came to see me this morning and said that he gave the two job quotas to his second brother and second sister-in-law. He also said that he would give us 500 yuan. compensate!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Youwei nodded and said, "Well, my mother told me when I sent Bao'er to my old house!"
"What I mean is that we can't accept that money. As for how to convince your parents to take back the money, I'll leave that to you!" Zhou Yang said.
Li Youwei shook her head and said: "It's not like you don't know my father's temper. Who can persuade him to do something he's determined to do? I don't have the ability!"
"what is it now?"
"Didn't I come to discuss this with you?"
Zhou Yang also had a headache, and immediately said: "Well, let's talk about this later. The little guy at Fourth Brother's house is going to be full moon tonight. Have you prepared a gift for me as an aunt?"
"I still have secondary floral fabrics at home, which are left over from the last time I made a dress for Bao'er. I want to send it to my fourth sister-in-law so that she can make An An some small clothes. What do you think?"
"I'm a son, and you give me a piece of floral cloth when he's full moon. How can this be done?" Zhou Yang frowned.
"Two feet of cloth is a lot. Besides, I don't know what to prepare for the little guy!"
Then Li Youwei said again: "When I passed by in the morning, I saw the fourth sister-in-law's family arriving, carrying half a cart of malted milk, biscuits, milk powder, chicken cakes, and a lot of children's toys and clothes. I didn't know what to do with them. Buy someone something!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "If it doesn't work, let's give the child a red envelope!"
"Red envelope?"
Li Youwei looked at Zhou Yang doubtfully, obviously not quite understanding what a red envelope was.
Zhou Yang immediately thought that there is no such thing as red envelopes here. Even if you give lucky money during the New Year, you should give the money directly instead of wrapping it in a red envelope.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Okay, leave this matter to me!"
"That's okay!"
Li Youwei still trusts Zhou Yang's ability to do things!
Since he said he would handle this matter, it must be no problem!
At that moment, Li Youwei packed her lunch box and prepared to return home.
But at this moment, the sound of a car engine suddenly sounded in the yard of the brigade headquarters.
The couple turned to look out the window at the same time, and saw a convoy of three or four cars driving directly into the brigade headquarters!
When he saw the license plates of these cars, Zhou Yang frowned and knew what was going on!
