Chapter 26 Help
"Why? Are you angry?"
"Hmph! You're a bad guy, as bad as my brother! You've only known how to bully me since I was a child." Li Xiaoyun ignored him and angrily gave Song Yuanchao a sanitary ball.
Song Yuanchao smiled and took out a package from his pocket, deliberately waving it in front of Li Xiaoyun: "She's really angry, ah, our sister Xiaoyun is angry, she's not cute when she's angry, so... do you still want this gift? If not, I'll take it back."
Seeing what Song Yuanchao took out, Li Xiaoyun took a sneak peek and her eyes suddenly lit up at first glance.
"Hey, big white rabbit!"
He snatched it away without any hesitation, peeled a candy and stuffed it directly into his mouth. Li Xiaoyun's cheeks puffed up like a cute hamster with the candy in her mouth, and her eyes disappeared due to laughing.
White Rabbit Milk Candy is a specialty of Shanghai and one of the best gifts of this era. It is especially popular among women and children. Just as no girl in later generations can resist the temptation of milk tea, the same is true for the White Rabbit Milk Candy of this era.
While eating the candy, Li Xiaoyun's anger suddenly subsided a lot. Song Yuanchao told her at this time that he would definitely do what he promised, but today was really unfortunate and the goods were indeed sold out. It would take at least some days to see the next batch. When the time comes, Song Yuanchao will definitely keep his promise and take her to experience it personally.
With such a promise, Li Xiaoyun finally smiled again. She thought for a moment and lowered her voice to ask Song Yuanchao how much money he and Li Daqi made from the business. Song Yuanchao naturally couldn't tell the truth, and only said that it wasn't much, just a few dozen. Hearing this, Li Xiaoyun's eyes lit up immediately, and she immediately shouted, "You made so much money, and you only gave me a few White Rabbits? This is definitely not enough, I must have a better gift."
"Xiao Yun, what are you talking about with your brother Yuan Chao? You are a grown-up girl, but you are still as noisy as you were when you were a child. Will you still be like this when you enter society?" They were talking excitedly when Aunt Dong came in with something and scolded Li Xiaoyun who was dancing with joy.
Li Xiaoyun is usually fearless except Aunt Dong. When she saw her mother, Li Xiaoyun's head shrank and she became a good kid again.
"I was just discussing the college entrance exam with Xiaoyun. I promised her that if she passed the college entrance exam, I would give her a Hero Gold Pen. She was very happy."
"Hero Gold Pen? No, no, it's too expensive. Why would a student need such a good pen? Besides, you don't have a job yet, so don't waste your money." Aunt Dong exclaimed in surprise, and then quickly refused.
Hero fountain pen is one of the best domestic fountain pen brands of this era. The price of a good Hero fountain pen is more than two months' salary of an ordinary worker. This price is not affordable for ordinary people.
As soon as Song Yuanchao opened his mouth, he said he wanted to send Li Xiaoyun away, so Aunt Dong naturally disagreed.
After Aunt Dong said this, Li Xiaoyun, who was very excited just now, suddenly fell in face.
At this time, Song Yuanchao smiled and said, "It's okay, Aunt Dong. I'm Xiaoyun's brother. If Xiaoyun can get into college, what's a golden pen? It's just a reward to motivate her. Besides, I've already secured a job, and there are still several months before the college entrance examination. I can totally afford this little money."
"Even so, you still have to save money. Your parents are gone now. You must remember to be frugal and not spend lavishly. You are not a child anymore and you will have to start a family in the future. How can you not save some money now?" Aunt Dong advised Song Yuanchao from the perspective of an elder.
Song Yuanchao didn't argue with her about this matter, because Aunt Dong said these words for his own good. Song Yuanchao was very grateful to have someone care about him.
While Aunt Dong was not paying attention, Song Yuanchao glanced at Li Xiaoyun and winked to reassure her. Smart Li Xiaoyun immediately understood what Song Yuanchao meant and knew that the gift of the gold pen was an absolute promise from Song Yuanchao. When she thought about getting a brand new Hero brand gold pen in the future, Li Xiaoyun was very happy. In this era, going out with such a gold pen on the chest is almost the same as a girl in later generations wearing Cartier. She would be dazzling wherever she goes.
After putting the things on the table, Aunt Dong suddenly remembered what Song Yuanchao had just said. She sat down and asked in confusion, "Yuanchao, you just said that you have found a job?"
"Well, it's almost certain. The next day after I came back, I went to my dad's school and met with Principal Zhou." Song Yuanchao roughly told Principal Zhou about what he talked about, and then said, "Didn't the household registration come down the day before yesterday? I plan to go to the school again tomorrow, Monday. If there are no problems, this matter should be settled."
"That's great." Aunt Dong was really happy for Song Yuanchao: "Although it's a school-run factory, if you work in the school, even if you're a teacher, it's a stable job."
At this point, Aunt Dong glanced towards the kitchen, as if she was thinking of Li Daqi's matter. Li Daqi's household registration was obtained a few days ago, but his job has not been secured yet, and as a parent, she has been worried.
"By the way, Aunt Dong, I have something to discuss with you."
Seeing Aunt Dong looking at him, Song Yuanchao said solemnly, "I plan to go to school tomorrow and propose Daqi's matter. If possible, let Daqi also work in the school-run factory. But Aunt Dong, my ability is really limited. I can only say that this matter is very likely, and even if it becomes a regular position, it will definitely not happen. I'm afraid Daqi will have to work there as a temporary worker."
"Really?" Aunt Dong was stunned and could hardly believe her ears.
"Aunt Dong, Daqi and I are closer than brothers, and you have watched me grow up. How could I lie to you?" Song Yuanchao said with a smile.
Aunt Dong stayed still for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up, with such a big movement that she almost knocked over the chair.
"Lao Li! Da Qi, hurry up! Come in!"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Uncle Li and Li Daqi, who were busy in the kitchen outside, hurried into the house when they heard the noise. They saw Aunt Dong standing there with red eyes. They were shocked for a moment and thought something big had happened.
"Old Li..." Aunt Dong grabbed Uncle Li's hand and couldn't help but cry.
"What happened? Wasn't you fine just now? Don't scare me!" Uncle Li looked frightened.
"Daqi...Daqi has found a job, and our son has found a job!" Aunt Dong held her husband's hand and cried and laughed.
Uncle Li was stunned and didn't react for a while. When Aunt Dong repeated it, he still couldn't believe it and asked, "What did you say? Our Daqi has a job? What's going on? Why did it suddenly... Wait, why is my mind so confused? Can you explain it more clearly?"
"You nerd, you've read so much that you're confused. You can't even understand what I'm saying?" Aunt Dong patted Uncle Li, pulled Uncle Li and pointed at Song Yuanchao who was standing next to him and said, "Yuanchao just told me that he has a way to get Daqi to work in the school-run factory of No. 2 Middle School. Although it's a temporary job, not a formal one. But anyway, Daqi finally has a job."
"Yuan Chao, this...is what your Aunt Dong said true?" Uncle Li understood now, but he still asked in disbelief.
"Of course it's true." Song Yuanchao nodded seriously and repeated what he had just said to Aunt Dong. After listening to it, Uncle Li suddenly realized that what Song Yuanchao said was really reliable. The two families were close friends. Uncle Li knew Song Yuanchao's father Song Guangzeng. They were both senior intellectuals and had dealt with each other a lot before.
The Li family was also aware of Song Guangzeng's affairs. Song Guangzeng was highly respected in No. 2 Middle School during his lifetime, and Principal Zhou was an old colleague of Song Guangzeng, so they had a special .
Since Song Yuanchao said so, then it must be true. When he thought about how he had been begging for help from others for his son's job these days but still couldn't find a job, and now Song Yuanchao helped Li Daqi find a job, Uncle Li, as a father, felt both happy and ashamed.
"Yuanchao, Uncle Li thanks you on behalf of our family." As he said that, Uncle Li was about to bow to Song Yuanchao. Song Yuanchao was not worthy of such a courtesy, so he quickly stopped Uncle Li and said that this was what he should do. With the relationship between the two families, how could Song Yuanchao not help?
At this time, Li Daqi, who was standing aside, was completely confused. He had never heard Song Yuanchao mention this matter before. How did he suddenly get a job? His mind was in a mess and he didn't understand what was going on with Song Yuanchao.
Looking at Song Yuanchao, Li Daqi seemed to want to ask something, but at this time Song Yuanchao secretly gave him a wink, and Li Daqi tacitly did not ask.
