She didn't even have the money to buy a pen for her sister. Yu Li was a little ashamed and said to her mother in embarrassment," Mom, I really don't have any money on me, but I'm already a second-class fitter. I can get a salary of more than 30 or even 40 yuan next month. I'll give more to my family then!"”
Mrs. Yu nodded. Just as she was about to say something, her expression changed. She asked in surprise,"Didn't you just become an official employee not long ago? Why did you get a raise again?”
"I-I've learned the skill of a fitter!”Yu Li happily recounted what had happened to her and said,"It's all thanks to Xu Ye. If it weren't for him, I don't know when I would have become a second-level fitter!”
Mrs. Yu turned around and looked at Xu Ye, who was sitting outside. She was very satisfied.
Although the people of this era were simple, they were also very realistic.
Which mother wouldn't want her daughter to marry a better husband and live a good life?
Previously, Mrs. Yu was still a little worried about Xu Ye's ability. However, she heard that he was a university student and a technician at the rolling mill. He had just graduated and was already earning about 50 yuan. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
If his daughter followed him, her future would definitely not be bad.
"Is your boyfriend that powerful?" "Then, can you ask him to buy me a fountain pen? Sister, I really want it!" Yu Haitang asked hopefully.”
Yu Li shook her head.
She didn't want to tell Xu Ye about her family matters.
"No! Your sister just started dating Xu Ye, how can you ask him for something!”Mrs. Yu also stopped him." Don't worry. I'll talk to your father. Even if our family has to scrimp and save, we'll buy you a fountain pen!"”
"Why can't I ask Xu Ye for it?" Yu Haitang muttered."My sister spent all her money on him!"”
However, when she heard her mother say that she would definitely buy her a fountain pen, she did not say anything else.
When the noodles were ready, they started cooking.
Mrs. Yu first scooped a bowl for Xu Ye, almost scooping all the eggs in the pot into his bowl.
Xu Ye shook his head and placed the bowl of noodles beside Yu Li.""Eat it!"
He wasn't being polite.
It was just a bowl of noodles with eggs. He really didn't care about it.
Not to mention that Xu Ye lived in an era of abundant resources in the future, as a technician of the rolling mill, he often had the opportunity to go to the small canteen to eat with Manager Yang.
Even in this era where resources were scarce, he had eaten a lot of good things.
"No, you eat it!" Yu Haitang pushed the noodles in front of Xu Ye without hesitation.
"Isn't it just a bowl of noodles? Why are you being so polite?”Seeing that Xu Ye wanted to decline again, Yu Haitang hurriedly took the bowl of noodles and said,""If you don't want to eat, I'll eat!”
"Alright!" Xu Ye smiled and nodded.
Yu Li looked at Xu Ye apologetically and helped her get another bowl.
The few of them began to eat. Yu Haitang's parents naturally understood why their daughter brought Xu Ye home.
Mrs. Yu understood Xu Ye's situation in the kitchen and did not ask much. Mr. Yu did ask him some questions, and Xu Ye answered some simple questions.
Mr. Yu nodded in satisfaction and did not ask any more questions.
After dinner, Father Yu went to work at the food factory.
Although it was the weekend, he didn't dare to rest.
Now, the efficiency of the food factory was not good. Not only were the wages pitifully low, but they were even facing the danger of being laid off.
In the workshop where Father Yu worked, there were a few workers who were held back by the leader because of a small mistake.
Everyone in the food factory was in danger. How could he not perform well?
Mrs. Yu also went to the kitchen to clean up the cutlery.
Only Yu Haitang was eating with her head lowered.
Xu Ye had more or less overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter of the Yu family in the kitchen. He took out five yuan and gave it to Yu Li."Let your sister buy a fountain pen!"
"Five pieces!" "I don't need that much!" Yu Li frowned.”
"For me?" Yu Haitang hurriedly stopped eating and grabbed the money.""I can buy a new schoolbag. It's not bad.”
She muttered to herself and began to plan how to spend money.
After getting the money, Yu Haitang did not eat anymore. She left in a hurry to buy a pen.
Yu Li went to the kitchen to help her mother clean up the cutlery. Mrs. Yu smiled and said,"Xu Ye must have a lot of things to do when he just moved. Don't worry about these things.”
Xu Ye and Yu Li returned to the courtyard house.
The two of them worked for a while before tidying up the new house.
He lit a fire, bought rice and noodles, and made dinner at home.
Yu Li made some porridge and stir-fried half a cabbage."Try my cooking. If you think it's okay, I'll make it for you every day in the future!”
She often helped her mother cook at home, and her cooking skills were quite good.
Xu Ye praised after tasting it." Not bad, not bad. It's almost the same as the food in our factory's canteen. If I can eat such food in the future, I'll be very satisfied!"”
After a busy afternoon, Xu Ye stopped Yu Li when she left. He took out fifty yuan and said to Yu Li,"Take this money. Give some to the family and keep some on you. Don't be like today. You don't even have money to buy a pen for your sister!”
Yu Li accepted it with a red face and did not refuse.
She had already entrusted Xu Ye with her life, so there was no need to separate them.
The two of them had spent all their money. They just had to work hard to earn more.
After Yu Li went home, she gave her parents 30 yuan and kept 20 yuan for herself.
Having just returned from the food factory, Father Yu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, nodded and said,"Xu Ye is a good person. I acknowledge this son-in-law. The matter between the two of you is settled. Don't let him find any matchmaker to come to our house to propose marriage.”
"I also think that Xu Ye is a good child. Don't look at how difficult it is now, Xu Ye is a university student and has skills. Your lives will slowly get better!”Mrs. Yu also said," People are not afraid of living a hard life, but they are afraid of not seeing hope. Today, you will suffer together with him. Only then will you be able to share happiness in the future!"”
Yu Haitang also came back from outside. Not only did she buy a pen, a bag, but she also bought some other stationery. As she played with the new pen happily, she said,"I also acknowledge Xu Ye as my brother-in-law!"
She began to imagine how envious her classmates would be when she arrived at school tomorrow.
