Chapter 168 167. The Three Ronaldins' Holiday
The three Ronaldins got a long-awaited vacation.
They tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep for the first time in a long time, and had a sleepover in the dormitory.
Everyone talked a lot about how their parents would react when they got home and how they would hold their heads up in front of their neighbors.
Should I show off directly, or pretend to say nothing like in the novels, and then have an unlucky relative say some nonsense at home, so that my parents will feel ashamed and angry.
Finally, he stood up and threw the passbook in the relative's face, pretending to be a big shot.
Except for the final act of pretending to be stupid, the first part can be resonated with by all three Ronaldins. This is the norm in their family every year, especially during the Chinese New Year.
Just this topic alone, they could chat for half the night...
Although they went to bed late, they still got up early the next day and were very excited.
After the morning routine is completed.
Zhang Guiqin prepared a big bag of things for each of them.
Let them take it back.
The three children have been working for such long hours, they must let their family taste the fruits of their labor.
The three little Luos were very happy and lined up to shout "Auntie, you are so nice!". The whole scene was quite touching.
then.
Bang, bang, bang. One person was hit by Luo Yihang.
"Take your things and get in the car. It's not like you won't be back. Remember that you have two days off this weekend. Come back to work on Monday morning. Record your attendance."
"You can take the village bus by yourself. I will only drop you off but not pick you up."
Hahahaha, the three little Ronaldins were happy after being hit, and they lined up to go out, carrying their bags.
When he left, he shouted, "I'll be back tomorrow night."
"I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."
"Tomorrow morning! I'll catch the early bus before daybreak!"
Sometimes Luo Yihang wondered if he was too strict with the three of them, treating them like adults all day long.
It is at this time that people still act like children, arguing childishly over inexplicable things.
"Get out of here, there's no food for you on the weekend, go home and eat your own food." Luo Yihang raised his foot to kick him.
The three Ronaldins swarmed away, but no one kicked them...
-
Luo Yihang sent the three little Luos to the entrance of their village.
The three little Luos got out of the car, said goodbye and ran home without looking back.
How can I not miss home after being away for so long?
Luo Shaoan lived closest to the house and was the first to rush into the house.
As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted, "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
He couldn't wait any longer.
Luo Shaoan's mother couldn't wait any longer and rushed out of the house the moment she heard the sound.
Since I received a call from my child yesterday, saying that he would go home for the holiday today.
She was so excited that she didn't sleep all night.
Her beloved child had never been away from her for such a long time. When he was in school and lived in the school dormitory, he would come back once a week. But this time, he was taken away by someone and left for three months.
Even though a mother says it's okay, how can she not be anxious in her heart?
I got up early this morning and got busy, picking vegetables, buying meat, and stewing pig's trotters. I prepared a lot of food that the children like.
Then he wiped the table and swept the floor, and poured water on the yard three times.
She couldn't stop.
There was really nothing else to do, so I moved a chair and sat by the door, waiting, counting the minutes and seconds.
Suddenly she heard someone calling "Mom", and her body reacted faster than her brain.
By the time he reacted, the person was already in the yard, holding Luo Shaoan's arm, tears streaming down his face.
"My baby, you are thin..."
Uh, I really can’t say.
When Luo Shaoan left, he was as thin as a chicken, with sunken cheeks.
The one who has returned now has some weight on his face, and his originally pointed chin and thin cheeks have become more angular.
And the arm she was holding, which she could originally hold in one hand, the thin arm was so soft, but now it can't be grasped in one hand, it's hard and full of tendon meat when you pinch it.
"Baby, what do you eat..."
Never mind. Don’t ask about this anymore.
Luo Shaoan saw his mother's embarrassment, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm carrying things, let's go home and put them down first."
"Oh, let's go home." Luo Shaoan's mother responded happily.
When she entered the house, she did not let go of Luo Shaoan's arm, completely subconsciously, for fear that the child would be gone if she let go.
I got home and just put my things on the table.
Luo Shaoan's father came out from the inner room.
The timing was just right, and he must have been waiting for a long time, but as the head of the family, he wanted to save face and couldn't show too much enthusiasm.
However, when Mr. Luo saw his son, he couldn't help but smile. After not seeing him for three months, he became taller, stronger, and darker.
When he was walking, he was at most 1.67 or 1.68 meters tall. Now he looks much taller, about 1.7273 meters.
The little kid who used to keep his head down and his neck shrunk has now opened his shoulders and straightened his back. The long yellow hair that he always hated has been cut off and has a short buzz cut.
The baby is wearing a navy blue uniform-like outfit, which makes him look energetic from head to toe.
With a confident smile on his face, he has become an adult.
Mr. Luo felt a little sad and his eyes were red.
I had to be tough and say, "You're back. Your hair looks so good now. What did you look like before?"
Luo Shaoan touched his short flat head and joked with his father, "I still like my long hair. It's so handsome, cool and fashionable. It's a pity that it's uncomfortable to wear a straw hat with long hair, so I have to cut it." "You're talking nonsense." Luo's father scolded with a smile and waved his hand, "Sit down and tell me how you are doing over there. Have you caused any trouble?"
"Yes, yes, kid, you haven't been bullied, have you? Are you tired? You look so dark, you must have been sunburned." Luo's mother also asked anxiously, holding Luo Shaoan's arm and refusing to let go, and sat down next to him.
Luo Shaoan pointed at his face and said, "How can I not be dark? I work under the scorching sun every day. I get up in the morning and start working until nine or ten o'clock. I take a break and start working again at four or five o'clock. I work until it's dark and I can't see anything. I'm exhausted."
"Oh, you look so tired." Mother Luo felt distressed and quickly pulled her son to look him up and down.
Father Luo understood immediately, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Everyone does farm work this way. It's not tiring at all."
"That's right." Luo Shaoan also comforted his mother, "Why be afraid of working? There are bonuses. The more you work, the more you get. I'm even begging the boss to assign more work."
"Do you know how well I performed? Let me open your eyes." Luo Shaoan played a trick of first suppressing and then raising his hand. He stood up, patted his chest, and opened his bag.
"Look, this is a formal contract. I've passed my three-month probation period and am now a formal employee with a contract."
"And this, the work badge."
"This is a social security card. It's a city dweller's social security card that includes pension insurance. It's not the same as your New Rural Cooperative Medical System."
"Finally, there's this. Ding ding ding ding!" Luo Shaoan dubbed for himself, "Salary passbook. There's 6,000 yuan in it. This is my salary, all deposited for one year."
"And this, a salary card, for saving bonuses. I've earned fifteen thousand in bonuses in the past three months!"
It was the lowest among the three little ones, but he didn't say it.
We spent half the night yesterday talking about how to act cool, but today Luo Shaoan forgot all about it and showed off everything.
Contracts, social security cards, work badges, these are all new things, as well as salary cards and passbooks.
Mr. Luo picked up the contract first. Wow, there were four big words "Employment Contract" on the cover.
Open, Party A: Tianhan Qingyin Agricultural Development Co., Ltd.; Party B: Luo Shaoan.
There were many pages of densely packed small handwriting inside, and the contract period, work content, working hours, salary, benefits, insurance and many other items were listed, each one extremely detailed.
There is also a bright red official seal on the back.
It looks formal.
It feels reassuring to have the official seal. Luo's father has also worked outside, but he has never signed this thing. He always goes out when his fellow villagers ask him to, and does whatever they ask him to do. He gets paid on time, but sometimes he doesn't even get paid and it's impossible to find the person.
He had heard about contracts outside. His fellow workers said that if they signed a contract and didn't pay, they could call the police. The police would help them get the money, and they would have to pay.
He didn't know whether it was true or not, but from the news it seemed like there was some kind of labor arbitration.
Anyway, having a contract is a guarantee.
As for social security, he paid for the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme with his own money, and only a small amount of the medical expenses are reimbursed.
The social security provided by this kind of unit is still better. A lot of medical coverage is given, and you can still get monthly payments when you get old. It’s taken care of for your whole life.
The older generation believes that being down-to-earth is the best.
Looking at them one by one, Mr. Luo's originally somewhat worried heart was finally put at ease.
"The kid is good, more capable than his dad."
"Of course not. Ours is a legitimate agricultural development company. Technicians from the agricultural technology station come here every day. They are much more sophisticated than you, an old-fashioned guy." Luo Shaoan took advantage of his father's happiness and said whatever he wanted.
"We have a professor living there, who is also a researcher. Our boss said that he is at the vice-department level, the same level as our deputy mayor. He is a big official, but he is not scary at all. He even taught me to recognize birds."
"We have so many machines. We use machines to catch and wash shrimps. We also have machines for making ice. They are really powerful..."
"Mom, I plan to save all my salary, and ask my boss to deposit it into a regular account for me. I will only need the bonus to spend on myself..."
"My aunt said that we should save more money while we are young. Once we have saved enough, we can build a house, buy a car, and marry a wife. We can also take you out for a trip. Later, we can go abroad to play..."
"Xiao Zhi said he also wants to save money. He doesn't even want to spend his bonus. He wants to buy a car. When he buys a car, I will take his car home..."
"Mom, do you think I should learn how to drive?"
Luo Shaoan wanted to tell his parents everything that had happened in the past few months.
The old couple just listened quietly and kept saying yes and yes.
The smile on his lips became more and more intense...
We forgot about time while chatting.
Mother Luo suddenly realized, "Oh, I haven't cooked yet. The baby must be hungry. I'll cook quickly."
With that, he hurried to the kitchen.
Luo Shaoan immediately stood up and went over to push his mother out.
"Wait, Mom. I'll make it and show you my craftsmanship. You haven't seen anything I brought."
Young people all admire the strong. In the Luo family, the boss is the strongest, and the uncle is also strong. They can all cook.
So Luo Shaoan also wanted to learn how to cook.
Luo Shaoan is the smartest of the three little Luos and is very capable.
When he was working in a barbecue restaurant, he was very well-coaxed by Master Xu, who gave him some pointers.
He has been preparing for a long time, just waiting for today.
He has other ideas besides just cooking for his parents.
Once when we were chatting, we mentioned that the Luo family has a tradition that when a child turns 18, he or she will drink a glass of wine with the elders, which means he or she has become an adult.
Boss Luo Yihang officially drank a glass of wine when he was eighteen years old.
Since that day, Luo Shaoan has been looking forward to it and yearning for it.
I want to come once too.
Just today.
-
Luo Shaoan took the dishes he brought back and walked into the kitchen.
While rolling up his sleeves, he pretended to call out casually, "Dad, take out the wine you left. I'll drink with you at noon."
Father Luo was stunned for a moment, and after a long while of reaction, he replied, "Okay!"
Luo Shaoan smiled in the kitchen...
