Chapter 162
"Girl, are you telling the truth?" Fang Ping was overjoyed, and her voice raised a few points unconsciously.
Seeing An Xin nodding, Fang Ping smiled even more happily. Who doesn't want his son to have a good job? Who wants to live a life of living in the dirt?
"You take a rest first, mother is going home first!" She couldn't wait to share the news with the old man.
Looking at Fang Ping walking quickly, An Xin couldn't help but shook her head. There was still ice in some places on the ground. She thought she was young so quickly.
Then he followed Fang Ping's pace and shouted to Fang Ping in front: "Mom, wait for me!"
Only then did Fang Ping stop her progress and looked back at An Xin: "Just rest, why are you doing this trip? I'm so tired!"
"Mom! I'm fine. I'll explain some things in more detail."
"That's okay!" Fang Ping said, taking a few steps towards An Xin, and then took her arm, fearing that An Xin would fall.
When we arrived at Dou's house, luckily it was already evening and all the men were at home.
Fang Ping summoned everyone to the main room and announced the good news.
Everyone sitting around the table was immediately happy and thanked An Xin for the opportunity.
But it soon became calm again, because everyone thought of the fact that there was only one job, but they had three brothers.
Dou Yong also lit his cigarette rod, took a puff, and then blew out a smoke ring: "I guess you have also thought about it, which one is the problem?"
Dou Yong turned to look at An Xin and asked him, "Girl, you are the one who initiated this matter. Do you have any ideas?"
An Xin shook his head and said calmly: "It's up to you, dad, to make the decision!"
This was an offending job, and she didn't want to stand out. Besides, her three eldest brothers went out of their way to chop firewood for her in the winter. They were all very good, but it was really hard to choose.
Hearing this, Dou Yong fell into deep thought, and the hall was silent for a while.
After a long time, Dou Jiang ignored Lin Zhaodi who was tugging at the corner of his clothes, and said with an honest smile: "Father, mother, this job... just choose the second and fourth brothers. I still... like crops!"
Although he also wants to leave the country, he is the eldest and should give way to his younger brother.
When Lin Zhaodi saw that Dou Jiang had already said it, her face turned pale instantly. Although she was not obsessed with having a son, she had a job in the county and everyone had a straight back. How could she not want to.
After Dou Jiang finished speaking, Dou He also hesitated and said, "Let's give it to the fourth brother. I... can't speak and will embarrass my younger siblings."
He also thought about this job. After all, if he settled down in the city, Li Juan would not look down on him so much.
Although he no longer misses her, he still wants to see her regret it one day.
But he was also afraid of embarrassing his fifth younger brother and sister. Besides, he also felt that the fourth younger brother was more suitable. He could speak well and would definitely please people.
Seeing the two brothers giving in, Dou Hai also wanted to say something, but was stepped on by his wife secretly, and he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
All of this caught Dou Yong's eyes. Logically speaking, the two brothers gave in and the matter was settled.
But he also saw that the eldest son and the second son were also yearning for it, but he spoke out because of the humility between the brothers and because he didn't want to embarrass himself.
Therefore, the humility of the two brothers cannot be taken for granted. For the sake of fairness, he still thinks that the simplest and fairest method is to draw lots.
He thought about it and said it.
Fang Ping was the first to respond: "This method is good. Whether you can get this job depends on luck. Don't blame anyone?" Fang Ping said and looked at Lin Zhaodi and He Meiling meaningfully.
Everyone also nodded.
So Fang Ping asked An Xin to prepare three slips of paper, one with words and the other two blank, and then made them into a ball, shook them in a bowl a few times, and finally placed them in the middle of the table.
"Pick it!"
But the three brothers looked at each other in disbelief, no one took the first blow.
Lin Zhaodi and He Meiling, on the other hand, looked at each other, then stretched out their hands and each took a paper ball.
He unfolded it carefully, but the result was not as expected. The two of them were either crying or their eyes were dull.
Looking at the dejected expressions of these two people, everyone also knew the result.
Fang Ping took the only paper ball in the bowl, unfolded it, and saw the words written on it, "Yes!" and handed it to Dou He.
Dou He was a little stunned and did not move for a long time.
"Idiot!" Fang Ping couldn't help laughing and scolding.
Only then did Dou He come back to his senses, his whole body trembling with excitement: "I... was hit..."
Unexpected excitement filled his body. Although he had given in before, he still had a glimmer of hope when he heard that he could draw lots. He didn't expect this surprise to come so suddenly.
"Congratulations, second brother!" Dou Jiang said first.
Although he was a little lonely, he was more happy.
After all, the second child is now raising two children by himself. It is said that they will be allowed to go to school next spring. During the divorce, half of the property was taken away, and only a few centimeters are needed. It will be very rare next year.
"Congratulations, second brother!" Dou Hai cheered up and said to Dou He.
As the husband sang and the wife followed, He Meiling also forced a smile and said: "Congratulations to my second uncle."
Listening to Dou He and Dou Jiang giving in, she really thought that this job was theirs. Unexpectedly, her father actually drew lots, and the cooked duck flew away.
"Congratulations, second brother!" An Xin also said sincerely.
"Second brother, although you got this job, you are still a temporary worker. Whether you can become a regular worker depends on your ability. I hope you can do your best and don't embarrass this girl." Dou Yong taught.
"Hey, I can!" Dou He said loudly with a smile on his face, and his voice couldn't help but feel a little more confident.
I saw him leaning towards An Xin and saying, "Fifth brother and sister, thank you!" Last time, this time and many other things.
Then An Xin explained some precautions for registering tomorrow and gave him the registration form.
The more Dou He listened, the more uneasy he became. He was about to give up the opportunity, but when he thought of Li Juan's contemptuous look before, he calmed down again and remembered what An Xin said in his mind.
I was afraid that I wouldn't remember it all, so I asked Jiantai to help me write it down on paper. As for the registration form, I also asked Jiantai to write it for me.
Over the past six months or so, Jianguo and Jiantai have learned a lot of words from An Xin. However, Jianguo has a wild mind, and Jiantai has studied quietly, so he knows all the common words for Jiantai.
This is also the reason why he decided to send Jianguo Jiantai to school next year. He is illiterate, so he has been looked down upon by Li Juan. He does not want them to become the second Dou He.
In fact, these thoughts were all blamed on the fifth younger sister. Once he sent her firewood and saw her holding a book and reading attentively.
