Chapter 521

Han Han Chunmei came back from being busy outside and saw Aunt Li Li Mingyue at home, so she hurriedly greeted her eldest daughter Li Juan to go into the kitchen to cook.

Not long after, her husband Li Kaijian also entered the kitchen angrily.

Han Han Chunmei said while busy: "You came just in time. I didn't know Big Sister was coming, so I bought a catty of meat. You go out and buy some braised food! I'll make braised pork and stir-fry two green vegetables..."

Li Kaijian sat on the stool next to him and said angrily: "Make braised pork? Just stir-fry tofu with salted vegetables. They came empty-handed to beg for help, and if I give them meat to eat, what if they choke to death..."

Han Han Chunmei then noticed her husband's bad mood and hurriedly threw the work in her hands to Li Juan, asking Li Kaijian with concern: "What's wrong? Did Big Sister provoke you again?"

"Hmph."

Li Kaijian snorted twice and said: "She didn't provoke me, Dad provoked me. That little brat is not a thing, and he even promised to transfer his work..."

Aunt's son reported Li Ye, and Li Li Zhongfa suppressed it and didn't let Li Kaijian spread it everywhere, but Li Kaijian was holding a fire in his heart.

As a result, he just did it for show, and didn't even kowtow, but his father Li Li Zhongfa actually agreed to handle it for him. You say, is Li Kaijian angry or not?

And he also wanted to transfer to the Grain Bureau a few years ago, but Dad didn't handle it for him and let him go to the fertilizer factory. That was Li Kaijian who was now ahead of the game and almost became deputy factory director; otherwise, Li Kaijian's complaints would be even greater.

"You are angry with Dad... it's not worth it..."

Han Han Chunmei was speechless. Don't look at how her husband was quite fierce outside, but in front of his father-in-law Li Li Zhongfa, he only had the share of squatting and being scolded.

You are angry with him? Then you are just bearing it yourself? If you dare to say half a "no," even if you can.

Just at this time, Li Juan, who was busy cooking, pouted and said: "Aunt also provoked Dad just now. She said Dad wouldn't be as good as others even if he became deputy factory director. If you ask me, we shouldn't have kept them for dinner today..."

Han Han Chunmei was stunned, then immediately scolded: "Do you need to talk too much? Hurry up and cook!"

Li Juan pouted aggrievedly, and could only bury her head and work hard on the chopping board, chopping the kitchen knife "clank, clank."

"Why are you scolding the child?" Li Kaijian frowned and said: "Yang Xiaojuan is exhausted from the exam these past few days. You should feel sorry for the child. If she is really angered, who will help you cook?"

Han Han Chunmei's eyes dimmed, and she muttered: "It's only helping me for these few days. Once she gets into university, she will fly away."

Li Juan, who was full of grievances, instantly turned red in the eyes.

She hadn't been beaten less by her mother over the years, so she longed to go to other places to study and was full of longing for the petty-bourgeois life in Zaojunmiao.

But if she really flew away... wouldn't she come back?

No, absolutely not.

"Mom, after I finish my studies, I can still come back to work. Didn't Aunt's son come back to Qingshui to work?"

"Just chop your vegetables!"

Han Han Chunmei turned around, wiped the sweat on her face with her arm, wiped the corners of her eyes clean by the way, and then started to heat the pot and burn oil to stir-fry vegetables.

Li Kaijian didn't want to go into the room to nag with his big sister, so he helped with trouble on the side.

He picked up the spoon and added salt to the pot.

Han Han Chunmei hurriedly said: "Oh my, you put too much salt, it's salty enough to kill people."

Li Kaijian added half a spoon regardless: "It's good if it's salty, it goes well with rice! Later you just say I stir-fried it. I cook salty."

Li Kaijian still had the responsibility of a man and would definitely not let his wife take the blame.

"Hahahaha."

All three laughed, and Li Juan, who was depressed, also laughed.

But before they finished laughing, they heard the sound of a car outside, and Aunt Li Li Mingxiang's family came to the door.

Li Li Mingxiang heard the laughter in the kitchen, so she leaned in.

"Brother, sister-in-law, what dishes are you making? Cucumber stir-fried with eggs?"

"Ah... no..."

Han Han Chunmei smiled sheepishly: "I'm making cucumber and egg soup."

Adding water if it's salty, no problem.

"Why are they all soup dishes today! It's a hot day and you're eating soup dishes. Han Chunmei, what are you thinking? Is it that you don't sweat enough?"

Li Li Mingyue used a spoon to stir the cucumber and egg soup in front of her, full of disdain on her face.

It wasn't all soup dishes on the table, but several cold dishes were placed in front of the men to drink, so weren't they all soup dishes in front of Li Li Mingyue and her son?

Wu Wu Juying glared at Li Li Mingyue and said: "You also know it's a hot day! Why didn't you go into the kitchen to cook on a hot day? Lazy people don't complain that the food is bad, hurry up and eat!"

Li Li Mingyue said unconvinced: "Mom, why are you saying that to me? I was the one who cooked when I was at home..."

Wu Wu Juying twisted her mouth: "Then why don't you do it now? Treating yourself as an outsider, right?"

Li Li Mingyue blinked and didn't dare to argue with her mother again, but she thought about it left and right, and didn't figure out how she offended her mother today.

The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear. She always felt that her son was the smartest child in the world, and she was unhappy if others said a few more words. Then what about other people's sons, how could they be straw bags who had been workshop directors for decades?

Aunt Li Li Mingxiang noticed the awkwardness in the room and hurriedly moved a plate of cold pig head meat in front of her husband: "Big Sister, you try this. A braised food stall just opened at the east end of the city. They say it's the craftsmanship of Master Lang from the Food Company, and the taste is not bad."

"No, no, Zhao Yuanchao still has to use it to drink..."

After Li Li Mingyue declined, she sighed and said: "Actually, I'm not greedy, it's really that I have no appetite to eat. These days I've broken my heart for Aiguo's job assignment."

"You say, it's only been a few years, why are university students not worth money anymore?"

"A few years ago, junior college students were assigned to government agencies as soon as they graduated, and being promoted to deputy section chief in two years was slow. But now look at Aiguo, he can barely be assigned a job sitting in an office..."

Li Li Mingyue suddenly looked at Zhao Zhao Meiwen and Li Juan and said: "You say, when Xiaowen and Yang Xiaojuan graduate, will they have to go to the workshop like workers?"

Li Li Mingxiang was so angry that she almost reached out to take back the plate of pig head meat.

This big sister of hers really didn't change for a lifetime. Not only did she take more and occupy more when taking things at home, but she also had to take advantage of her mouth to be satisfied.

What do you mean university students are not worth money? Are you scolding a bald donkey in front of a monk?

Oh, so your meaning is that your son can sit in an office this year, but my daughter has to go to the workshop a few years later?

But before Li Li Mingxiang could be angry enough to retort to her sister, Li Li Mingyue pointed at Li Ye: "This wasn't said by me, it was said by Brother Xiao Ye."

"Just now Brother Xiao Ye told us that as the gap for government cadres gets smaller and smaller, university students will not be easy to assign jobs in the future, and the college entrance exam will be harder and harder. If you can't catch up in one year, you can't catch up every year..."

Li Ye looked at the aunt who was talking more and more vigorously, as if he saw a distant relative from his previous life.

That relative's son wasn't a university student. When he saw Li Ye get into a second-tier university, his first sentence was "You wear glasses, and employers might not want you in the future."

Oh my god, does this sound harsh to you? There are so many nearsighted people, why do you look at me unpleasantly?

And there are even harsher ones.

After Li Ye graduated, he was dirty and tired when he was an intern in the workshop. The other party despised him again: "What kind of university student! Not as good as my son. My son has saved tens of thousands in these few years. The least valuable thing these days is university students."

Anyway, wherever you hurt, he pokes wherever. It's like playing a game and hitting a villain, the more he hits, the more refreshed he is, and he never tires of it.

"It's certain that there will be more and more university students in the future,"

Li Ye glanced at Aunt and said lightly: "But university students are different from university students. There are university students who have learned all the teacher's skills, and there are also those who just learned to fall in love while wasting time."

"Schools are also different. Graduates of national key universities, unless they don't make progress themselves, won't be too bad no matter how they toss."

"I know two classmates from 1981. They stayed in the capital this year, one in the Ministry of Machinery Industry, and one in the Capital Steel Factory..."

"So job assignment depends on comprehensive strength. If you can't be assigned to a good unit, either your academic performance is not good, or the school is not good, or your luck is not good."

Aunt and Aunt looked at Li Ye. Aunt's eyes were round, and Aunt pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

Li Ye's mouth was much more damaging than Aunt Li Li Mingyue's mouth, stinging and harsh, but still made you unable to pick out any flaws.

"Slap."

Aunt slapped her thigh and said angrily: "Isn't that so? These years our luck has been bad. Aiguo was originally talking to the daughter of a provincial cadre, but as a result, he was snatched away by a cream-faced boy when he was about to graduate. Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to this small county at all..."

"Hahahaha."

Aunt Li Li Mingxiang finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

If it was anything else, Li Li Mingyue really didn't dare to refute Big Sister.

But if it was talking about love, Big Sister's son really didn't have any advantages.

Speaking of which, it was strange. The men and women of the Li family were all handsome, but Aunt was a bit lacking, and the husband she found, Cui Cui Zhixian, also looked bitter and deep, which brought grievances to her son.

"Li Mingxiang, what are you laughing at?"

Li Li Mingyue was very unhappy, so she asked: "Which university did Zhao Meiwen apply for this year? Can she get in?"

Li Li Mingxiang restrained her laughter and said implicitly: "Zhao Meiwen applied for Capital Medical University. Whether she can get in depends on luck."

"You rely too much on luck. Capital Medical University is a national key... really... hahahahaha..."

Li Li Mingyue laughed uncontrollably, but then she found that no one was laughing.

She suddenly turned to look at Li Juan: "Yang Xiaojuan, which university did you apply for?"

Li Juan lowered her head and said while stirring the vegetables: "I'm the same as my brother."

Li Li Mingyue was stunned, then asked urgently: "Then how many points are you sure you can get? I remember that when you two were in the mock exam last year, it was only a little over five hundred, right?"

Because she hadn't been treated well for the past two years, Li Li Mingyue had little contact with her family, and her understanding of the two children's grades was also lagging behind.

"Cough, ang."

Li Kaijian, who had been holding back for a long time, finally raised his head and said: "Yang Xiaojuan's last mock exam was 556, which was a little bit better than last year."

Li Li Mingxiang also immediately said: "Zhao Meiwen is a little bit worse, but she also has over 520!"

Li Li Mingyue suddenly felt her throat blocked, as if she had been choked by something.
