This was his younger brother, Lin Chenyu, who was three years younger than him. He was studying at a computer science university in the city and would graduate next year.
In the past few years, the use of computers had gradually become more widespread. Many places had set up computer schools to absorb students who did not have ideal results but wanted to rely on their studies to make a living.
Lin Chenyu's grades were average. After graduating from junior high school, she did not get into a key high school or a formal technical secondary school. Therefore, she went to a computer school. That way, she could at least find a job to support herself after graduation.
"Chenyu, are you on vacation? What are you doing at home?" Lin Chenfeng patted him on the shoulder, his eyes revealing an unconcealable warmth. He liked this obedient younger brother from the bottom of his heart.
" I was helping Mom pick water to irrigate the vegetable garden." Lin Chenyu rubbed her hands shyly." Mom said that the weather has been too hot these few days. If we don't water the seeds, they might come back."”
He was both affectionate and respectful towards this big brother of his. Among the three brothers, this big brother had always been shrouded in a halo. He remembered very clearly that from primary school to high school, his big brother's grades had always been the best in class. After entering university, he was the head of the student council in the department, joined the party, and now he was a civil servant.
For the Wang family, who had been digging for a living for generations, this honor was no less significant than the fact that someone in the family had won the first place in the Imperial Academy in ancient times.
In comparison, he and his second brother, Lin Chenlei, were nothing. For some unknown reason, his eldest brother, Lin Chenfeng, was doing very well in school, while his and Lin Chenlei's grades were average. Ever since they started attending kindergarten, they had not even received a certificate of merit. Therefore, Lin Chenlei had not studied after graduating from high school the year before last.
"Yes, not bad. I have to help out more when I get home.”Lin Chenfeng nodded and praised.
" Okay, I got it." Lin Chenyu looked excited when she was praised." Brother, have you arranged your work?"”
This question again! Lin Chenfeng suddenly felt powerless. He once again realized that this job problem was not only related to his future, but more importantly, it represented the face of the entire family, and even the face of all the people surnamed Wang in the Lin Family Village!
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have taken the civil servant examination. I'm in a dilemma. Lin Chenfeng sighed and patted Lin Chenyu's shoulder."This matter is a little complicated. Let's talk inside. Where's Chengyi?”
"Second Brother, he…he went out on the streets." Lin Chenyu stammered.
"On the streets?" Lin Chenfeng was stunned." Why didn't I see him on the street?”
"This…he might be in some shop.”Lin Chenyu lowered her head and said ambiguously.
"Oh." Lin Chenfeng did not notice the expression on his brother's face, so he did not take it to heart. Seeing that he did not ask further, Lin Chenyu heaved a sigh of relief.
After the two entered the house, they saw their father sitting behind the fan with his head buried in a cigarette while their mother, Lin Zhilan, sat on the threshold of the main room in a daze. Lin Chenyu felt that the atmosphere in the house was a little abnormal, as if her parents had just quarreled, so he couldn't help but turn to look at Lin Chenfeng.
This was his habit. In the past, no matter what happened at home, as long as his elder brother came back, he would usually be able to turn the big issue into a small one. When the small matter was resolved, it would blow away the dark clouds in the sky. As time passed, he had already formed a kind of spiritual dependence on Lin Chenfeng.
Of course, Lin Chenfeng knew where the crux of the problem lay. His father must have told his mother about his situation, which was why there was such a gloomy atmosphere at home. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he could not change this situation!
Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and shout at Lin Zhilan,""Mom…"
"Ah?" When Lin Zhilan heard this shout, she seemed to be startled. She immediately stood up from the threshold and turned to look at him with a smile." Feng 'er, you're back? Have you had lunch? I'll go heat up your food."
Lin Chenfeng couldn't help but feel his heart ache. It seemed that this incident had dealt a huge blow to his mother. That was why she didn't even notice him and his brother entering the house.
However, a mother's love was always full of tolerance. Therefore, when she saw him, the first thing she thought of was not to investigate his work allocation, but to be afraid that he would be hungry. No wonder people often said that a mother's love was like water, because she was always so gentle and delicate.
" Mom, sit down and rest." Lin Chenfeng quickly shook his head." I've eaten at Xianghe Station, so I'm not hungry yet."”
Xianghe Station was a stop on the way from Hexi County to the various villages in the northwest. As long as it was a longer distance, the passenger train would stop here at noon. That was why Lin Chenfeng said that.
" Then I have to prepare dinner too," Lin Zhilan glanced at Lin Jianan and said," Since you're back today, I'll cook the pork trotters in the warehouse and stew them. You can drink with your dad tonight."”
Lin Chenfeng was silent.
He knew that his father would probably get drunk again today. Although his father could drink, he was not addicted to alcohol. Therefore, he rarely drank. However, once he drank, he would most likely get drunk. When he wanted to drink, it was when he was especially happy or especially sad.
And today, there was obviously nothing to be happy about.
"Has this matter been decided?" Lin Jianan smoked silently for a while and suddenly looked up at Lin Chenfeng.
"According to the HR department, it has been decided.”Lin Chenfeng said in a low voice.
"Big Brother, what did you and Dad talk about?”Lin Chenyu asked nervously as she had a taste of it.
"I want to go back to the Lin Family Village and take up a temporary position as the village director's assistant.”Lin Chenfeng hesitated for a moment, but he still said the result.
"Ah?" Lin Chenyu jumped up from her chair." Why is this happening? Why?"
"What are you dancing for?" Lin Chenfeng frowned and glared at him." You have no manners at all.”
Lin Chenyu was shocked, so he quickly sat down. Sometimes, he was more afraid of this big brother than his father. Even he himself could not explain the reason.
However, he was still indignant about this matter, so he asked carefully,"Big brother, what's wrong with you? Aren't you competing for a position in the government office? Why did it become a temporary job in the village?”
Lin Chenfeng sighed." This is the organization's arrangement. What reason do we need?"”
" Someone must have taken your position, so they kicked you out," Lin Chenyu said angrily." Civil servants are all open to recruitment now. They're playing favoritism. We can sue them.”
"What are you talking about? Who are you suing?" Lin Jianan glared at him." What evidence do you have to say that someone else took your place? The other party only gave you a temporary position and didn't cancel your establishment. What right do you have to say that the other party is playing favoritism?”
" But…" Lin Chenyu said unwillingly.
