Coming out of the kitchen, Yu Haitang smiled and came to Xu Ye's side."Brother-in-law, I want to buy a book. Can you give me another two yuan?”
In her opinion, Xu Ye was rich and would probably give it to her.
Didn't Xu Ye give her five yuan last time?
Moreover, she only wanted two pieces this time!
Yu Haitang looked at Xu Ye hopefully.
Xu Ye shook his head.
He had heard the conversation between the mother and daughter in the kitchen.
Like Yu Li, he also thought that there was no need to spend this money.
"Since you've agreed to buy the books together, and it's not your turn this time, why do you need to spend this money?" Xu Ye said. It was better to save it for when he really needed it.”
Xu Ye didn't even give her money!
Yu Li pouted, a little unhappy. Before Xu Ye could finish speaking, she ran back to her room.
Mrs. Yu's voice came from the kitchen.""Xu Ye, you did the right thing. Don't spoil her. We can spend the money that we should spend, but we can't spend the money that we shouldn't!”
"That little girl is heartless and won't argue with others. Just you wait and see. She will definitely come out during dinner later!”Yu Li added.
How could she not know her sister's temperament?
Yu Haitang wasn't a bad person. She just had a little temper.
She would not allow Xu Ye to pamper her sister.
The food was ready.
Cob noodles porridge, stir-fried radish vegetables.
The mother and daughter of the Yu family had just brought the food to the table. Without calling Yu Haitang, she came out of the room and sat in front of the dining table. She picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat.
Yu Li pretended not to see her sister and asked her mother,"Mom, where's Dad? Why isn't he back yet?”
"Your dad has to work overtime, so he might be back a little late!”"Let's eat first, don't wait for him!" Mrs. Yu forced a smile and said.”
The efficiency of the food factory where Father Yu worked was getting worse and worse.
Although there wasn't much work in the factory, the workers would quietly stay behind to work overtime after work. They would go home very late so that the leaders would know that they were hardworking and afraid of being fired.
It was the same for his father.
Although he knew that the food factory was already in the sunset and could be cut down by his superiors at any time, he had worked in the food factory for decades. As long as the factory existed, he was reluctant to leave.
"Let's wait for Uncle!" Xu Ye was not in the mood to eat even if there was one less person at the dining table. He said,"Why don't Yu Li and I go to the food factory to take a look?”
Yu Li was also a little worried." That's right. I'm also a little worried about Father. Why don't Xu Ye and I go over and take a look?"”
Her father had worked in the food factory for decades, so Yu Li was quite familiar with the food factory. It was not difficult to find it.
Mrs. Yu was also worried about her husband.
Just as she was hesitating, Father Yu returned.
" Why did you come back so late?" Mrs. Yu asked hurriedly." The children are very worried about you. If you didn't come back soon, Yu Li and Xu Ye would have come to the factory to look for you!"”
"Something happened in the factory!" Father Yu said casually.
Initially, he didn't want to talk about the mess in the factory. However, when he saw that his family was looking at him with concern, he could only say,"I don't know what happened, but the machine that produces fried dough twists in the factory suddenly broke down. I stayed in the factory to see if the workers could fix it, so I came back a little late!”
The food factory had a semi-automatic machine for producing fried dough twists. It could only mix the raw materials and cut the noodles.
This machine had been bought for several years.
For some reason, it suddenly malfunctioned and stopped operating.
This was a big deal.
Without this machine, the food factory, which was already not doing well, would definitely be worse off.
After the machine malfunctioned, the factory manager and other leaders rushed over immediately.
It was said that if it really couldn't be repaired, the factory manager might report to the higher-ups to shut down the food factory.
It was related to his own interests, so how could Father Yu not care about this matter?
After work, he stayed behind to wait for the results.
It was a pity.
When he came back, the machine was still not fixed.
"If the food factory really closes down, I'll have to find a new job!”"But I'm already so old, and I only know how to do some hard work. It won't be easy to find a good job!" Yu's father sighed.”
Father Yu was very depressed.
Mrs. Yu was also a little unhappy.
Her husband was the pillar of support for her family. If he lost his job, the sky in the family would collapse.
Yu Haitang panicked.
Just a moment ago, she was still willful and wanted to spend money recklessly. She did not expect her family to have fallen to such a state.
How would the family live without their father's job?
She was a little regretful and swore that she would never spend money recklessly again, even if it was given by Xu Ye!
Yu Li was also very sad.
If her father lost his job, she and Xu Ye would be implicated.
Occasionally.
Yu Li's eyes lit up as she looked at Xu Ye.""Xu Ye, don't you also know about machines? Can you help me take a look at the food factory? What if it can be repaired?”
Yu Li was very confident in Xu Ye.
In her opinion, Xu Ye was a technician and might be able to help.
Father Yu also saw a glimmer of hope, as if he had seen light in the dark night. His depressed expression was swept away and he said excitedly,"That's right. How could I forget? Xu Ye is a university student. He might be able to fix that machine!”
"Xu Ye, hurry up and come with me!”" I won't let you work for nothing," Mr. Yu said." Our factory manager said that whoever can fix the machine will be rewarded with 30 yuan. He will even be rewarded with a bicycle ticket that the factory just received!"”
30 yuan for fixing the machine?
A bicycle ticket?
To be honest, Xu Ye was a little tempted.
In Xu Ye's eyes, the machines and equipment of this era were still very simple.
With his ability, how could he not fix it?
If he fixed the machine, he could help Father Yu and earn some money. Why not?
" Alright," Xu Ye agreed." I can go and take a look, but I can't guarantee that it'll be fixed!"”
"Don't worry about it. Just go and take a look. What if you can fix it? Not to mention the rewards, fixing the machine saved the workers of our food factory!”Father Yu said excitedly as he pulled Xu Ye out of the door.
"Food, you haven't eaten yet!”Mrs. Yu shook her head.
She took out two steamed buns from the dining table and handed them to Yu Li."Bring it to your dad and Xu Ye. Eat something on the way!”
Yu Li nodded and left with the steamed bun.
Yu Haitang was not in the mood to eat. She picked up a steamed bun and went over to watch the show.
Mrs. Yu glared at her and said," What are you going to do? I don't think you should go anywhere. Stay at home and eat!"”
Yu Haitang looked at her mother unwillingly, but she still did not leave!
