Chapter 14

Mother-in-law sighed helplessly, with endless sadness in her voice.

It can be seen that she doesn't want to sell, but she has to sell.

"Well, I'd better sell it, otherwise everyone will be unhappy again."

When her mother-in-law finished, she took out the key, opened the tricycle parked at the door of the unit, and put the waste products on the tricycle.

The aunt next to me had to be reasonable and unforgiving, "Aunt Xue, don't sell it today and pile it up tomorrow."

My mother-in-law immediately cried, "you are young and strong. You can look for work outside, but we two old people can only pick up waste products to make a living. You can't watch us starve to death."

"Then my son deserves to be single all his life. People can't be so selfish."

"How can you blame us if your son can't find a girlfriend?"

"Hey, didn't you pile up the waste here and scare away my future daughter-in-law?"

"That means that the girl didn't come to live at all and didn't want to share joys and sorrows with your son!"

"Hey, you are shirking the responsibility."

The quarrel broke out again.

Lin Wushuang asked Wen Han impatiently, "can you find a job that can provide for the elderly“

Wen Han touched his chin with one hand. From the beginning, he was thinking about this problem. If he could find a suitable job for the two old people, he would naturally go out to pick up waste products and collect waste products every day.

It's different to annoy the neighbors.

"According to their age, they should get a pension. After all, at this age, even sanitation workers won't want it." Wen Han said while thinking.

"It's up to you to find a job. You're the people's police." Lin Wushuang helped his wife load the waste onto the tricycle.

Wen Han also helped, "Hey, I'm criminal investigation, not the police, not the aunt of the neighborhood committee. Besides, the police don't help find a job."

Lin Wushuang glared at him, "have you agreed to serve the people? Now that the people need you, you will run away?"

Wen Han couldn't cry or laugh. "You have a powerful mouth. OK, hold on to me about helping my mother-in-law find a job."

When the old woman heard that she wanted to help her find a job, her eyes lit up, "you want to help me find a job?"

"Yes." Wen Han nodded, "it may be hard to find, but you don't need to pick up waste after you have a job."

The old woman cried again, as if her tears had not dried up. "Thank you. My wife and I have also looked for a job before, but they are too old to use us."

"Grandma, why don't you have a pension?" Lin Wushuang asked.

The old woman shook her head. "I used to be a farmer and didn't go to work seriously. After my son studied, our good day will come. As a result, God took the life of my son's daughter-in-law. Alas, poor me."

It is normal for rural people not to buy old-age insurance, but the state has special subsidies for poor households?

"Don't you have a subsistence allowance?" Wen Han asked again.

The old woman nodded, "there are subsistence allowances. There are three people in our family. Each person is 300 a month, which adds up to 900. But Lan Lan's reading and living expenses and material expenses are not enough."

If nine hundred people only eat and drink daily for three people, it is naturally enough.

But when it comes to reading, tuition and living expenses, it is not enough.

No wonder Xue Lanlan eats steamed bread in the classroom at noon.

"Then I'll continue to help you find a job." Wen Han sighed, and sure enough, there are all kinds of things in the world.

It was supposed to be enjoying his old age. As a result, he ran around day by day in order to raise his minor granddaughter.

"Thank you today, I, I'll sell waste products first." the old woman held Wen Han's hand tightly, and her eyes were eager for work.

Wen Han took out a pen and a piece of paper, wrote down his telephone number and handed it to the old woman, "if you have anything, just call me directly."

"Thank you, thank you." the old woman gratefully accepted Wen Han's phone number.

Lin Wushuang helped her push the cart and asked, "why don't you let the people at the waste collection station come and take it away?"

It takes three carts to sell out the house full of waste products.

The old woman said, "it's twenty cents more expensive to send it to me than others."

In order to earn more money, why not be tired?

Lin Wushuang and Wen Han always accompanied her mother-in-law to sell waste products. When they sold the second car, the grandfather who went out to pick up waste products also came back. The four people continued to load and sell waste products together.

When it was finally sold out, it was dark. Four cars of waste products sold for a total of 160 yuan.

Lin Wushuang deeply experienced for the first time that it's hard to make money in the second world.

"Thank you today. Let's have a meal at home in the evening." my wife took Lin Wushuang and Wen Han and invited them to dinner together.

"But there is nothing good in our family, only porridge, pickles and eggs."

Wen Han said with a smile, "mother-in-law, we don't dislike it, but the little girl has to go back to school. The self-study has started this night. If she doesn't go back, the teacher will be angry."

The old woman suddenly realized, "yes, I want to study by myself at night. Hey, I'm not careful. Then, I'll get you some eggs."

As he spoke, he asked grandpa to help him with the eggs.

Wen Han quickly refused, "goodbye, mother-in-law. Our unit requires that we can't accept the gifts of the people. If I really take your eggs today, I can pack up and leave tomorrow. As for this little girl's film, the dormitory can't boil eggs. It's also a waste to give her. You'd better keep it for yourself."

The old woman said anxiously, "how can this work? You've been so busy for so long that you don't eat or take eggs?"

Wen Han hurriedly led Lin Wushuang out, "do a good job without leaving a name, mother-in-law, don't send it. Bye."

Her mother-in-law jumped quickly and couldn't catch up. She could only watch the two leave.

Tears fell down again. "It's good for young people now. Lan Lan is really lucky to have such a classmate in our family."

……

"Let's go, I'll take you back to school?" Wen Han has been leading Lin Wushuang out of the community, "Oh, no, I should invite you to dinner first."

"Even if I eat, I still have something to do." Lin Wushuang took his hand out of Wen Han's hand.

This hand in hand is really twisted.

"What else do you have?" Wen Han asked curiously.

"Continue to visit the classmate's home." Lin Wushuang turned out the paper with the address and looked for it along the address.

Finally stopped in front of a fly restaurant.

"Hmm?" Lin Wushuang reconfirmed the address. Yes, this is Guo Dahai's home address.

"Two, do you want to eat?" the waiter came out of the house and greeted Lin Wushuang and Wen Han.

Lin Wushuang looked around the store. It was just dinner time. The store was full. The guests who came later sat on the tables and chairs placed outside. They were very popular.
