Chapter 1153: Future Employees

After Song Tan and the others watched the excitement at Great-Uncle's house, that was that. Zhang Yanping even went to Dr. Xiao Guo's place to get a box of ointment for Song Shuliang.

Give a slap and then a sweet date.

They felt sorry for Great-Uncle and wanted to teach someone a lesson. But to put it bluntly, Great-Uncle himself had let go of the father-son relationship, so why create more disputes?

That New Year passed by in such a lively way.

And far away in Qincheng, in an old residential compound in the old city, a middle-aged man of average height returned his shared electric scooter and was walking home step by step.

"Stairs."

Chen Yuan smiled. In the middle of winter, there were actually fine beads of sweat on his forehead. As he changed his shoes, he said: "Mom, it's fine. How long has it been? Walking up and down stairs is very normal; don't worry too much."

"But we can change to the first floor. You and Dad are getting old, and the elevator installation pushed by the municipal government hasn't moved; I estimate it's not very likely. Changing to the first floor would be more convenient for you two to live."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took off one of his shoes, revealing a cold gray metal foot inside.

His mother didn't pick up on this, just mumbling: "We'll see. Your father and I are used to walking up and down stairs; it's good exercise. Moving to the first floor would mean poor light and dampness; it might not even be as good as now."

But the houses here, even a two-bedroom, cost at least 500,000 yuan at the cheapest.

This is the heart of parents in heaven; helpless, but with no other way.

This kind of expectation from his parents sometimes put more pressure on him than the class reunion, making it even harder to handle.

Chen Yuan didn't think much of it, just assuming his brothers were sharing interesting short videos, so he clicked on it.

Chen Yuan gave a bitter smile: "Dad, don't worry, my former comrades are also helping me ask around. If they don't have any news either, I'll just go find a company to work for."

"I'll film a video to show them the work environment—the environment is just like this, following this road all the way up the mountain..."

Chen Yuan sighed.

Chen Yuan gave a bitter smile.

But it wasn't that he was feeling sorry for himself; there were really some jobs that, even if people hired him out of human sentiment, he couldn't do well with his condition.

【I've told them about your situation, and they agreed very readily. It's mainly to watch the farm and not let people steal or mess around—】

He didn't speak.

And Chen Yuan finished watching the video silently, staring at the few voice messages at the bottom, feeling his parents standing on the side, and actually didn't dare to open them for a while.

"This is the canteen; the main chefs are all on holiday now, but these dining tables, these disinfected dish cabinets, and our big stove... these are all kept clean every day. Every meal has meat and vegetables, and the taste is guaranteed to be not bad—Brother Xiao Du, Brother Xiao Yang, and the others, you tell them, when has the Song family ever been bad with food?"

Just as he was secretly worried, a water cup was handed over in front of him, and his father sat slowly on the sofa: "Aren't you having a high school reunion tonight? Is there any talk at the reunion?"

At this moment, he stretched out his finger and clicked it only after a long while—

Then he could only go to some older residential areas.

The top floor of their old residential area isn't worth anything; even if sold in full, at most it's worth 300,000 yuan.

【Brother! This is your work environment and accommodation conditions below. I won't even mention the food; if you're still not used to the Song family's food, then you can only go eat the Flat Peach Banquet.】

Moreover, the roads in the old city are complicated, and ambulances can't even get into the alleys. Now that the elderly are old, one must consider this clearly when changing houses.

Because he knew without thinking that this kind of company only needs the other party to be disabled and have a disability certificate. They open a salary of one or two thousand yuan just to keep them, and the purpose is for certain policy benefits and tax avoidance...

He braced himself: "Yes, a classmate introduced a company that I can join."

"This is the dormitory; it's currently a 4-person room, look! This was just completed this summer, brand new! There's a bathroom, wardrobe, air conditioning, and a washing machine... water and electricity are self-paid, room and board included..."

These days, friends are actually quite kind, forwarding any job opportunities they see to him.

He knew what his parents meant.

However, as an adult man, Chen Yuan had already learned to wear a mask of indifference.

But...

But...

His father's earnestness was visible to the naked eye; he clearly wanted him to have a stable job now, so that whether it's about dating or planning for the future, the two old folks could be more at ease.

Chen Yuan didn't speak.

Unless he buys a house and gets married, his parents would never be willing to touch that money.

He was secretly encouraging himself, but he saw several messages sent one after another, the first three of which were all videos.

Even after he was discharged due to injury, he still had a sum of money, enough for renovation.

300,000 yuan, even now, can't buy a first-floor unit in the same area. Not to mention that the first floor of an old residential area is indeed dark and damp.

But... the pity and sympathy in everyone's mouths, and the pointing and talking after drinking two taels of wine, also made him quite uncomfortable.

He is 30 this year, has no girlfriend, no house, no car, and the job was said to be placed by the local government, but in reality, the municipal government itself can't pay salaries now... let's not mention it.

For a moment, father and son were both silent.

Only the sound of wind could be heard outside, and what came into view was a large area of green bamboo forest, appearing even more desolate in the cold wind, and someone was speaking:

Even if it's one or two thousand a month, it's still money. He could ponder and find a side job or something; he shouldn't let his parents worry so much at their age, right?

There was no disdain or humiliation from anyone at the class reunion; everyone is an ordinary person, without so many extreme thoughts.

The video was very short, only about ten seconds, probably filmed while sitting on a tricycle, vaguely showing the woods on both sides and the open land and bare tree branches on both sides of the mountain slope ahead.

His father was instantly pleasantly surprised. But he had experienced such things before, so he quickly asked again: "What company? How much is the salary?"

Chen Yuan was stunned, then clicked on the other two videos—

"It's fine." His father patted his shoulder: "Don't touch your money; your mother and I can still support you. After adapting for two years and then finding a girlfriend, buying a house and starting a family, we'll be at ease when someone takes care of you."

In the picture, the girl's voice was a bit loud, sounding like a job introduction, and his parents were standing on the side at some point.

His parents used to work at the sanitation company, living frugally all their lives, actually saving a lot of money. Plus selling the house, that money wasn't impossible to take out.

Now, even when saying such comforting words, the smile on his face was faint. ===== CHAPTER 1154 =====
