Chapter 401: Very Difficult
Chapter 401: Very Difficult
When Huang Xiaochuan returned home, there was no one there except for Da Gun and Xiao Gun guarding the house.
Huang Xiaochuan knew without guessing that his aunt and grandmother were definitely in the shop. Ever since they opened the tobacco and sundries shop, the two of them had been extremely enthusiastic. They had suddenly found something to do and were throwing themselves into it wholeheartedly.
Nowadays, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang usually have lunch at the company cafeteria whenever they are at work, so their aunt and grandmother no longer come back to cook lunch. The aunt simply sets up a pot at the shop, and she and her grandmother just eat lunch there.
Moreover, my aunt followed Huang Xiaochuan's advice and hired two women of similar age to help her. This would provide two jobs and make things easier for her.
Huang Xiaochuan looked at the refrigerator. His aunt had prepared a lot of ingredients. Huang Xiaochuan picked some out and decided to cook dinner.
After Yu Xiang arrived home, Huang Xiaochuan was still busy in the kitchen.
Yu Xiang put down her bag, took off her coat, and went into the kitchen to smell the aroma.
"It smells so good! What are you making for dinner?"
"There's porridge and beef pie in the kitchen, and it's very greasy. Go upstairs and change your clothes. While you're at it, call your aunt and ask her to come home for dinner."
Yu Xiang tiptoed and rested her head on Huang Xiaochuan's shoulder, glancing into the pot. Huang Xiaochuan was frying beef pies; no wonder they smelled so good.
After reading it, he responded to Huang Xiaochuan's words: "I understand, I'll go make a call first."
On Saturday morning, the uncle brought his two daughters and sons-in-law to the old house. As soon as he entered, Liu Jin rushed towards Huang Xiaochuan. When Da Gun and Xiao Gun saw that it was this little devil, they were immediately scared and hid far away. This little devil was ruthless and pulled out a handful of hair with one pluck.
"uncle!"
Huang Xiaochuan quickly squatted down and hugged the little rascal.
Liu Jin hugged Huang Xiaochuan's neck and gave him a quick kiss.
Good heavens, this bite melted Huang Xiaochuan's heart.
At this moment, Xuanxuan walked up to Huang Xiaochuan and sweetly called him "Uncle." Huang Xiaochuan then hugged her tightly.
At this moment, the second sister, Zeng Xia, walked up to Huang Xiaochuan, panting heavily.
"What's the matter? You called us all the way here? I even had to take a day off from work."
Huang Xiaochuan, who was squatting on the ground, looked up at his second sister, whose waist was now so thin that it was barely visible.
At this moment, the two children ran to their aunt's side again, and Huang Xiaochuan was finally able to stand up.
Huang Xiaochuan looked at Zeng Xia with a look of disgust.
"Didn't you tell me on the phone that you'd lost about ten pounds? You call that losing ten pounds?" Huang Xiaochuan pointed at Zeng Xia's potbelly with exasperation.
Zeng Xia replied confidently, "I'm not lying to you! I did lose more than ten pounds, but I've gained it all back recently. You can ask your brother-in-law if you don't believe me."
Zeng Xia immediately shifted the blame to Huo Miao.
Huo Miao was about to speak up for his wife when Huang Xiaochuan stopped him.
"Ask him? You two are a couple behind closed doors, conspiring to fool me. I don't believe your nonsense."
Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan was unmoved by her words, Zeng Xia, swaying her plump body, went to her aunt to act coquettishly.
"Mom, my little brother is bullying me again!"
Her aunt gave her a disdainful look, then went back to talking to Xuanxuan and Liujin, ignoring Zeng Xia completely.
Zeng Xia, who did not receive maternal love and care, pouted in disappointment.
The uncle then asked, "Did you call us up here today because you need something?"
"I have something to do. Please have a seat. I'll go upstairs to get something."
After Huang Xiaochuan brought the two file folders down from upstairs, he immediately handed them over to Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia. (The author "Four Seasons Leeks" recommends reading "1990 I'm Back" using the "Renren Bookstore" app, which can be downloaded and installed.)
"This was arranged by someone for you. If you're willing, go back and complete the formalities as soon as possible."
Zeng Xia was quick; as soon as she got her hands on it, she opened the file bag and took out the transfer letter.
Huo Miao also curiously went over to take a look, and what he saw shocked him. He looked at his brother-in-law in disbelief.
Zeng Hong and Tang Jianhua couldn't believe their eyes either. Inside was a transfer request letter, and the receiving unit was the Cultural Bureau. Holding the letter, the two looked at Huang Xiaochuan with disbelief.
Seeing that his two daughters and sons-in-law's expressions had changed, Zeng Jiahua quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Dad, take a look at this!" Tang Jianhua handed the transfer letter from Zeng Hong to his father-in-law.
After taking the document, Zeng Jiahua took out a pair of reading glasses from his pocket, put them on, and began to read.
He was also taken aback. He knew how difficult such a transfer was, especially an inter-provincial transfer, which was extremely challenging.
Then Huo Miao also handed Zeng Xia's transfer letter to Zeng Jiahua. Zeng Jiahua glanced at it and found that, apart from the receiving unit being different, the contents were almost the same.
"My two older sisters' families are both registered in Shanghai now, and they already have houses. They haven't come to Shanghai because they haven't found suitable jobs, so I asked someone to help me get this done. Of course, the decision to come or not is up to my two older sisters. As for Suzhou, I don't have any connections there. You'll have to find someone to handle the negotiations with the companies there, Uncle."
The whole family, from the grandmother to the Zeng sisters, felt a warmth in their hearts. They never expected that Huang Xiaochuan would handle such a big matter so quietly. The family was speechless.
The Zeng sisters, Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia, are both employed in public institutions, which means they work within the system. Therefore, job transfers are extremely difficult, especially transfers to other locations.
Following the standard transfer procedure requires the consent of not only the transferring and receiving units, but also the organization department, making the process complex and extremely difficult.
However, Huang Xiaochuan quietly got the matter done through his connections, which is enough to show how good he is to his two older sisters.
However, there is still a tricky issue. The job transfers for Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia have been completed, but what about their husbands? This means that the couples will have to live apart.
It wasn't that Huang Xiaochuan didn't want to get his two brothers-in-law transferred, but it was just too difficult. Getting Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia transferred first would be quite an achievement. Huang Xiaochuan planned to take it one step at a time, first settling things with his two sisters, and then with his two brothers-in-law.
In fact, according to Huang Xiaochuan's idea, his two brothers-in-law could have gone into business just like in their previous life. In their previous life, his eldest brother-in-law ran a restaurant and his second brother-in-law ran a mahogany furniture factory. Of course, they went into business because they were laid off.
However, Huang Xiaochuan would not suggest that his two brothers-in-law go into business, but if they had such an idea, he would definitely help them out.
There are many things to be done at home, and we can only take it one step at a time.
However, Zeng Jiahua had the idea of resigning from his current position. He was just a contractor of a township enterprise, and the factory was not his. Moreover, his daughters were coming to Shanghai soon, leaving him alone at home. He needed to make plans as soon as possible.
That night, Zeng Jiahua and his aunt discussed things until very late. They finally decided that after arranging the job transfers for their two daughters, Zeng Jiahua would go to the town government to resign from his current job and come to Shanghai to start a factory. He wanted to create a business for his family and also provide a safety net for his two daughters and sons-in-law.
Zeng Jiahua knew that his nephew had already done a great deal of work to get Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia to work in Shanghai. Asking him to find a way to arrange jobs for his two brothers-in-law would be a bit too much. He could build a factory in Shanghai and have his two sons-in-law help him out in the future. Wouldn't that allow the whole family to get together in a lively atmosphere?
