Chapter 13
The Second Brother Was Resigned
Lin Xiaohu took a look into his father's house before he dared to whisper: "After I left that night, the police came and arrested everyone who went to the grave."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaowu had a premonition that something was not good. She knelt down and stared at her second brother, waiting for him to continue.
"But their boss, Brother Jun, didn't go that day. I left when I was on lookout. Brother Jun felt that they were arrested because of me, so just yesterday, Brother Jun led a group of people to the machinery factory to look for me.
, he smashed things if he couldn't find me. Today Brother Jun came again, and I had a fight with them. The master was afraid of causing trouble, so he fired me." As he spoke, Lin Xiaohu's eyes turned red, "I originally wanted to join them.
Machinery factories can learn skills so that they can become regular employees in the factory in the future, and they can also get wages every month. With wages, life at home will be better. But now, the apprenticeships that were finally obtained are gone.
…”
The second brother is not afraid of getting into trouble by Brother Jun, he is afraid of losing his job.
When someone recommended me, my father looked around for help.
How sad it would be for my father to know that his job is gone.
Seeing her second brother's sad look, Lin Xiaowu suddenly didn't know how to comfort him.
Although the second brother has always been out of tune since he was a child, during this period I found that he is really filial and shows responsibility at critical moments.
Her second brother's words touched her. If she could find a job and get a salary every month, she could supplement her family's income.
Speaking of work, she thought of textile factories.
There are two large state-owned enterprises in the city, the First Cotton Textile Factory and the Second Cotton Textile Factory.
She felt that entering a textile factory as a girl had certain advantages, and the system also rewarded theoretical and practical manuals on textile machines, which might come in handy in finding a job for her.
Looking at the second brother sitting on the stool crying, Lin Xiaowu gently held his arm and said distressedly: "Second brother, stop crying. If dad hears it, he will be worried again."
"If you don't have a job, you can find another one. As long as our family can be well, everything will be fine. Dad must think so too! You see, my eldest brother hasn't been home for a month, and dad is lying in bed again. Now you are home
The backbone of our family, so you have to cheer up, our three sisters still have to rely on you!"
After listening to his sister's words, Lin Xiaohu sat up straight, wiped away his tears, calmed down for more than ten seconds, and then said: "Second brother is fine, isn't it just a job? If this job is gone, I will just find another one!" In machinery
I have met a lot of people during my year as an apprentice in the factory, and I will go to town to find them tomorrow to see if I can find another job."
Lin Xiaowu was happy that the second brother could cheer up quickly, "He is my second brother! But don't be in a hurry to find a job. These shoes will be here soon. Dad's legs are not healed, so the family needs labor force."
When the rice is harvested, you should stay at home for a while, and it won’t be too late to go out and look for a job after the rice is harvested.”
The fact that Brother Jun, the boss of the tomb robbers, was able to find the machine factory means that he has investigated the second brother. If the second brother is asked to go to the town to find a job now, Brother Jun will definitely come back to cause trouble. It is better to work at home and wait for a while.
"You are still thoughtful. Doing a double robbery is very tiring. I don't know how dad, Sanya, Siya and the others survived last year when I was not at home."
Lin Xiaohu didn't think about Brother Jun. He just felt that as a man of the old Lin family, he should share the worries of the people of the old Lin family.
"Yes, Dad and Third Sister have worked really hard these past few years..." Lin Xiaowu thought of Third Sister's dark face and rough hands, and sighed in her heart.
Then she remembered what happened at the machine factory, and asked her second brother, "By the way, second brother, brother Jun smashed something in the machine factory. The boss didn't give you any trouble, right?"
"He saw that I was beaten like this, so he didn't let me pay compensation." Lin Xiaohu said, touching his red and swollen face, and a pain quickly spread to his brain, "Hiss...and he knows that our family has no money.
Even if you ask me to pay, I can’t afford it.”
"Okay, stop talking, I'm going to get a towel to cover you up." Lin Xiaowu said and went to get a towel, wet it and wring it out, then put it on the second brother's face and apply ice to reduce swelling.
"Does it still hurt?" Lin Xiaowu asked with concern.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, huh..." Lin Xiaohu pretended to be strong, but the involuntary pain betrayed him.
"Wuya, who are you talking to?"
Lin Ruyi suddenly shouted towards the main room.
"Hey, Dad! I'm talking to..." Before Lin Xiaowu could finish her words, her second brother grabbed her sleeve and winked at her not to tell her father.
"I'm talking to Uncle Wang next door, dad." Lin Xiaowu called to her father's house, and then asked her second brother softly, "Why don't you let me tell dad that your face is swollen like this? Dad looks at it."
I will definitely ask you when I get there."
"It can take a while!" Lin Xiaohu whispered. He didn't have the courage to tell his father.
"Father will know about this sooner or later, you can't hide it."
"I can hide it for a while!"
Lin Xiaowu had a dark look on her face, "Second brother, your face is swollen like this, how long do you think you can keep it secret? Third sister and the others will see it when they come back. If you tell dad then, he will know that you had a fight."
, I will know that you were fired from the machine factory after just asking."
As he thought about his sister's words, Lin Xiaohu's face became paler and paler. He stood up from the stool, threw the towel on his sister's hand and ran to the door. Then he shouted softly to his sister: "I'll go first."
Go hide at Erniu's house for a few days. I'll hang dad's medicine at the door after I get it from Jishi Hall every day. Remember to pick it up, and don't tell dad what happened to me!"
"Second brother, you are hiding again..."
This second brother actually went into hiding again.
Can you hide for a while or for a lifetime?
Now the problem is left to Lin Xiaowu. Should I tell my father now that my second brother was fired from the machinery factory?
After hesitating for a while, she decided to put the matter of her second brother on hold until her father's leg injury got better.
It would be best to wait until the second brother comes back and tell his father himself.
Wuya: Second brother, why are you so happy to go to Jishi Hall to get medicine every day?
The second brother blushed: Because I can see Lingling, hehe;-)
