Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 2: Traveling by Boat

The two walked two hundred meters along the street, and Lin Xialan couldn't help but ask, "I just heard that Xinyu has gone to the countryside. What are you going to do? It's hard to find a job now. My parents asked around, but no factories are hiring."

Xu Qinghuan believed this. Lin Xialan's father was the director of the Shenshi Machinery Factory and her mother worked in the Educated Youth Office. Even so, Lin Xialan's job was given to her by her third brother, who went to the countryside himself.

"Where did Xinyu go?" Xu Qinghuan felt a little depressed.

She, Lin Xialan and Qiao Xinyu have been classmates since childhood. The three of them went to elementary school, junior high school and high school together. Half a year after graduation, the Qiao family finally couldn't stand the bombardment of the Youth League Office and had to let Xinyu go to the countryside.

Xu Qinghuan was there because Lin's mother had borrowed her to work as a temporary worker at the Youth League Office for two months. Otherwise, she would have gone to the countryside three months ago.

"He went to Heilongjiang Province, to the Shangjiang Brigade of Hongqi Commune." Lin Xialan said, "My brother also went to Hongqi Commune, but he wasn't in the Shangjiang Brigade, he was in the Liaozhong Brigade."

"Shangjiang Brigade!" Xu Qinghuan's eyes lit up. That was the hometown of the hidden boss in the book who helped Xu Qinghuan achieve success.

According to the timeline, at this moment, the hidden boss is still farming in his hometown. He is a well-known village bully in the surrounding villages and a notorious second-rate guy.

"Why, you know that place?" Lin Xialan asked, "I asked my mother to help Xinyu pick out a good place."

"I don't know!" Xu Qinghuan had never been there. "But I know the black soil there is fertile and the produce is plentiful. You can spend half the winter there and still not starve to death."

You can lie on the kang for half a year, and still have food and drink. I dare to ask, which office worker in the 21st century does not dream of such a life?
What's the good of staying in the city to work? You have to work from 8 am to 5 pm every day, and you have to work from 30th to 11th of the new year.

Xu Qinghuan thought it through in an instant. She didn't plan to stay in the city, and she didn't want to sacrifice her entire youth and dignity in order to stay in the city.

The marriage contract with the Jiang family was arranged for Xu Qinghuan by her biological mother. After the two got married, her biological mother would arrange a job for her.

The original owner didn't want to be manipulated by others, but also didn't want to go to the countryside. He was always struggling and finally lost his life.

"When will the next batch of educated youth leave?" Xu Qinghuan made up her mind and planned to go to the countryside as soon as possible. She wanted to get on the big boss's good side as soon as possible.

Although the boss is now a second-rate guy, he still has many younger brothers following him. One more or one less doesn't make much difference.

She went to the boss early to grab a seat next to him and get a chance to light a cigarette for him.

Lin Xialan was surprised. "Huanhuan, do you want to go to the countryside too?"

Xu Qinghuan nodded vigorously, looking excited. "I want to be with Xinyu. Lanlan, can you ask Aunt Lin to arrange for me there too?"

Lin Xialan was moved and blinked, "Huanhuan, are you going too far? Are you going to abandon me for Xinyu?"

Xu Qinghuan took her arm and said, "Good Lanlan, you must not waver. Xinyu and I are relying on you for support in the countryside. I don't need much, just send us five dollars each a month."

"What the hell are you doing? I only make 18.84 yuan a month, and I've only been an apprentice for less than a year." Lin Xialan couldn't help laughing. "At most, I can mail you three yuan each."

Three dollars is not a small amount!
After the two of them had been fooling around for a while, Xu Qinghuan finally sighed, "Lanlan, what do you think I should do if I want to break off my engagement with Jiang Chengxu?"

"You want to break off your engagement with Jiang Chengxu?" Lin Xialan thought Xu Qinghuan was provoked. "Huanhuan, you have to think it over carefully. After all, you have known each other for so many years."

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'A childhood sweetheart can't stand up to a bride from heaven?'" Xu Qinghuan teased. "I'm planning to move to the countryside, so what's the point of this engagement?"

The original body and the male protagonist have known each other since childhood. They were classmates in junior high and high school, and can be considered childhood sweethearts.

Lin Xialan saw with her own eyes that in the cinema, Xu Manman leaned her head on Jiang Chengxu's shoulder. Jiang Chengxu pushed her away twice but failed, so he gave up and let Xu Manman lean on him.

She was afraid that Xu Qinghuan would be upset, but since he was so decisive, she was happy to see it happen.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xialan said, "How about going to your second aunt? Doesn't Xu Manman like Jiang Chengxu? If you cancel the engagement, they will be very happy." When Xu Qinghuan was three years old, his father died and his mother remarried.

It happened that Xu Manman was lost at that time. Second Aunt was heartbroken and took her in. Half a year ago, Xu Qinghuan's uncle and aunt brought their adopted daughter to see her.

This cousin is 70% similar to my second aunt Wang Mingxia. Upon asking, I found out that this cousin is actually the cousin who has been missing for fourteen years.

When Xu Qinghuan returned home, she heard the voices of mother and daughter talking in the room.

Wang Mingxia said with a look of disappointment, "What's so good about Jiang Chengxu? Look how obsessed he is with you two sisters. Your sister insisted on marrying him, but you keep calling him Brother Chengxu all the time. I'm telling you, you better give up on this idea as soon as possible."

Xu Manman said coquettishly, "Mom, I know, I don't have any thoughts, he is my brother-in-law. Don't say anymore, my sister is coming back."

Xu Qinghuan deliberately pushed the door hard, making a little noise. The mother and daughter came out of the room. Wang Mingxia didn't know how much she had heard, so she said awkwardly, "Huanhuan is back?"

"Second Aunt, Manman!" Xu Qinghuan greeted her and walked into the room.

The Xu family's house is crowded, and Xu Qinghuan and Xu Manman live in the same room.

Xu Manman followed in and asked, "Sister, did Brother Chengxu find you?"

"No, I'm with Xia Lan."

Xu Qinghuan folded the clothes thrown on the bed one by one. They were all patched up. If he went to the countryside, it would be very cold in the Northeast, so he had to prepare the thickest quilt, cotton coat and cotton pants.

Not only do these require money, but also cloth coupons and cotton coupons. The total inheritance left to her by the original owner was 32 cents, but now there is only 27 cents.

Her biological mother would give her second aunt 25 yuan in child support every month, but this money had never reached her. Neither her original body nor she had ever thought of asking for this money.

She didn't know what the original body was thinking. Xu Qinghuan knew from the book that after her father died, her biological mother married her father's comrade-in-arms. Her stepfather had a twelfth-level salary, nearly two hundred yuan a month, and her biological mother worked in the art troupe, earning eighty or ninety yuan a month.

This is a very high income.

The reason why she was given twenty-five dollars in child support was because her biological mother did not want to raise her herself and did not want her to affect her family. Also, her stepfather insisted on giving it to her because she was an orphan of a comrade-in-arms.

"What did you say?" Xu Manman showed an innocent smile.

"We talked about going to the countryside." Xu Qinghuan was a little depressed.

Sure enough, Xu Manman showed a nervous look on her face, because she also faced the situation of going to the countryside if she didn't get married, but the only good man she knew was Jiang Chengxu. In the book, she couldn't compete with Xu Qinghuan, and finally had to go to the countryside.

"Sister, I'm the one who should be worried. You and Brother Chengxu are getting married soon. Unlike me, I have no one to marry and have to go to the countryside."

While we were having dinner, the staff from the Youth League Office came.

There are five children in the Xu family. The eldest, Xu Hongwei, works as a worker in a food factory. The second, Xu Hongye, served in the army for two years and then retired to work as a projectionist in a cinema.

The original plan was that Xu Hongye would serve two years as a conscript and then transfer to the volunteer army. However, he suddenly returned to civilian life. The job of cinema projectionist was originally reserved for Xu Qinghuan by her biological mother, but somehow it ended up in Xu Hongye's hands.

The Xu family has three other children, the youngest Xu Hongtu, Xu Qinghuan, and Xu Manman. After graduating from high school and junior high school, they all had no jobs and had to go to the countryside.

After the educated youth office official left, the atmosphere in the room grew more solemn. Wang Mingxia asked, "Lao Xu, you mentioned last time that Lao Xiao's son from your factory works in the slaughterhouse and is old enough to be looking for a wife. Has anything happened with that?"
