Jiang Xiaobai smiled dumbly, this old father-in-law is still very interesting.

We had a meal at home at noon. In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaobai took his family back home to see the old man.

It turns out that the alley is still so familiar. Jiang Xiaobai and his family were spotted as soon as they arrived at the door. The neighbors ran out to say hello to Jiang Xiaobai.

Everyone still knows that there is a big boss in the Jiang family. However, due to ideological reasons in the past two years, although everyone said they were envious, they didn't feel anything.

But in the past two years, people's values ​​have slowly begun to change. Even in places like Longcheng, the reforms are not very obvious, but everyone feels that this society is really changing.

The workers who once had a stable job began to be laid off, and the self-employed people who were once looked down upon became rich, driving cars and vans one by one. The last time I rode a motorcycle, it was really different from before.

It turns out that everyone is talking about who is in the workshop, who is an advanced individual in the factory, or who is a March 8th red flag bearer, or who has become a model worker, and everyone is very envious of it.

Nowadays, the discussion is about who bought a car, who bought a motorcycle, and who installed air conditioning.

It turns out that when a family is looking for a partner, they ask where they work, what level of worker they are in a factory, and whether they have been regularized, or what level of clerk they are in the system.

But now when looking for a partner, people are beginning to care about money, how much gift money they can get, and how much money they have at home.

This subtle change occurs in every corner of society, like spring rain, moistening things silently, but this change is actually happening and ongoing.

It snowed in Longcheng two days ago and the weather was a bit cold.

The people who gathered around the entrance of the alley exhaled streams of white air, surrounding Jiang Xiaobai's family in the middle, and at the same time insulating them from the cold outside.

"Xiao Bai, you haven't been back for a long time. When I met your dad two days ago, I asked him, when will you come back? Come to my aunt's house for dinner."

"These are Xiao Langlang and Xin'er. They look just like the New Year pictures. They are white, fat and cute. They will definitely be promising when they grow up..."

Everyone was talking to each other around you. Seeing that the weather was getting colder, Jiang Xiaobai asked Zhao Xinyi to take the children back first, while he dealt with it outside.

"Xiao Bai, why don't you come to my place for lunch today?"

"Then come to my house tonight. All the children at home are back. You guys should have a nice drink..." Jiang Xiaobai was invited by several people but declined.

"Well, Xiaobai, as you know, my third child used to work in a soy sauce factory. Now the soy sauce factory has closed down. Can you help me find a job?"

"Xiaobai, my family..." Several women spoke. After Jiang Xiaobai thought for a while, he agreed and then sent everyone away. Although Jiang Xiaobai's previous relationships with these neighbors were basically all inherited. As for the memory of his predecessor, he did not live in the alley for too long.

But now that his father still lives here, neighbors inevitably need to help each other, so Jiang Xiaobai agreed without too much hesitation.

"Well, our company also has a beverage factory here, and the wages are not low. If you are willing, come back to my house with your children. I will meet people and then call to make arrangements." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile. .

Everyone suddenly became excited. Although the salary increase mentioned by Jiang Xiaobai at the annual meeting has not spread yet, it turns out that the salary at Jiahe Beverage Factory is not low.

Basically, you can get five or six hundred yuan every month. Five or six hundred yuan is definitely not low at this time. There are also some bonuses and the like. When added up, the overall salary is higher than normal. There are many state-owned enterprises.

Although in the eyes of everyone, this beverage factory is still not as stable as a state-owned enterprise, one is that Huaqing Holding Group is already a Fortune 500 company, and the other is that if they can enter a state-owned enterprise, they will not come here. .

What's more, the iron rice bowl of state-owned enterprises is no longer so safe, so entering the home and beverage factory is also a good thing for them.

After everyone thanked them, Jiang Xiaobai walked towards his small yard.

The small courtyard was very clean, but it just felt a little desolate. Entering the courtyard, you could already hear Jiang Langlang talking to his grandfather Jiang Tieshan.

Jiang Xiaobai opened the door and walked in: "Dad, I'm back."

"Well, it'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Jiang Tieshan teased the two children and looked up at Jiang Xiaobai, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

"Brother Xiaobai, drink some water." The nanny poured a glass of water for Jiang Xiaobai and put it aside. Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said thank you.

Then he took out a red envelope from his bag and handed it to the little nanny.

The little nanny pinched it, it was thick, worth at least ten thousand yuan, and her face was suddenly full of joy. The little nanny was married, but she never left the Jiang family and has been taking care of Jiang Tieshan. Of course, because she has been there for a long time, she has Emotional reasons.

But more importantly, the wages given by the Jiang family are not low. They usually earn a thousand yuan a month. During the Chinese New Year, several children in the family will give a little.

Among them, Jiang Xiaobai was the most generous, giving thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, and the other children also gave a lot, thousands of dollars each.

If you add this up, you can earn at least 20,000 yuan a year here. Who can afford it?

After saying a few polite words, he put it down. Jiang Xiaobai turned to look at Jiang Tieshan. His temples were even grayer, his waist was already stooped, and he coughed from time to time.

I am getting older. I was overdrafted when I was young and worked in a workshop all my life. I am now recuperating, but it is not easy to make up for the overdraft.

"Dad, come to my place during the Chinese New Year. Don't stay at home." Jiang Xiaobai said.

Jiang Tieshan hesitated and nodded. In fact, he likes to live in the small courtyard. As he gets older, he doesn't want to go anywhere. However, Jiang Xiaobai, his wife, and his grandson and granddaughter come back once a year, and he also wants to stay with them for two more days. .

Jiang Xiaobai looked around the house. The house was okay. Some places had obviously been repaired, but he didn't know whether it was the eldest brother or the second brother who did it.

The brothers and sisters in the family are not short of money now, so there are not so many messy things.

"In the alley ahead, your Uncle Wang is gone, and there is Aunt Zhang, the house where you played all day long when you were a child. There is an apple tree at home, and you went to pick other people's apples to eat." Jiang Tieshan rambled, with something in his expression. Lonely and emotional, all the old friends around me left one by one.
