Chapter 133: Chapter 127: Really
Qin Ming and Jiang Yue exchanged a glance.
"Yue’er, I know what to do, don’t worry. I understand how much my sister has helped us this time. No matter if I, Qin Ming, become rich or poor in the future, as long as our sister asks, even if it means facing fire and water, I would do it without hesitation."
Qin Ming vowed solemnly.
Jiang Yue nodded; their sister was truly unexpected.
"Alright, my sister did this for the sake of the two of us. Now we definitely can’t disregard her intentions. Let’s figure out how to get the money, and also make sure our parents issue the introduction letter and household registration properly for us, to avoid complications later, you know what our parents are like."
The couple discussed it briefly, then got up and went to the old house.
During winter, there wasn’t much work in the production team; everyone was resting at home.
They arrived at just the right time; as soon as they entered, they saw Accountant Li and Director Jia sitting with Qin Dazhi, apparently discussing county policies.
Qin Ming felt a bit pleased; he was planning to see Uncle Director later, and found him here already.
Qin Dazhi glanced at the couple and said nothing.
Director Jia saw Qin Ming, "Qin Ming, come sit quickly. You came at a good time; we are discussing next year’s spring planting for our production team with your father. The county has given us new tasks. We didn’t meet our grain quota this year, and we must make up for it next year; otherwise, the county relief funds won’t be available."
Li Laosan, the accountant, also greeted Qin Ming.
Qin Ming had at least a primary school education, and being young, he was quick-witted.
In previous years, they often discussed many things with Qin Ming as well.
"Director, Accountant, I won’t get involved in this matter. My father may not have told you, but I am preparing to start work at the county power plant. I handled the formalities yesterday, so I won’t be staying in the production team any longer. It’s not convenient for me to get involved in team affairs.
If anything good or bad happens, it would be unclear, and we are all from the same community, so I need to let you know in advance."
Upon hearing this, Director Jia and Li Laosan were both taken aback.
"Oh dear, Old Qin, you’ve kept this very tight-lipped. Your son has become a regular worker, and you didn’t even let us know. At least you should treat everyone to a meal. Keeping it such a secret, you really are something."
Both of them joked with Qin Dazhi.
They all found it strange, as Qin Dazhi had always been someone who cared about appearances.
If this were true, wouldn’t he have announced it with much fanfare to the whole village?
Why was he keeping it under wraps?
Qin Dazhi’s face darkened, thinking he could save face with his son, only to find his son had put it all on the table without consideration.
He understood that hearing such words would surely leave Director Jia and Accountant Li Laosan displeased with him.
"Stop saying that, whether this will work out is still uncertain."
"What do you mean? Hasn’t the ing been done? How can it still not work out?"
Director Jia was skeptical.
"Director Jia, Accountant Li, you don’t know. Yesterday, my eldest son told us about this. They ed to the power plant, but it will be three months before he officially starts working.
My wife and I discussed it. Since our eldest is leaving and has a promising future, we shouldn’t hold him back. But once he’s in the county, his younger siblings are still young. We two old folks have to rely on each other to raise these children.
So we figured we’d ask our eldest to settle the future pension money with us in one go.
No matter how long we live, a total of a thousand yuan would suffice. From then on, we wouldn’t bother him with our pensions, and he’d be free of obligations."
He Guixiang spoke plainly.
She handled it perfectly.
"Old Qin, is that your intention too?"
Both Director Jia and Accountant Li Laosan were a bit stunned; who could come up with a thousand yuan in these times?
One work point earned at most eight cents a day.
After various deductions, a strong laborer could earn a hundred yuan in a year, and that was considered impressive.
But that money had to be spent; an entire year’s worth of household expenses, children’s school fees, and various costs.
Saving seventy or eighty yuan meant the family was tight with money and thrifty in their lifestyle.
Even then, it would take at least ten years to save a thousand yuan.
The eldest in Qin Dazhi’s household, despite many years of work and point earnings, had contributed everything to the family.
The accountant knew best; each year, when allocating work points, it was always Qin Dazhi who collected it.
His son had never touched money personally.
Only after getting married last year did it seem like Qin Dazhi gave his son a little bit, but it didn’t appear to be much.
Turning around and asking his son for a thousand yuan in pension money, it was simply fanciful thinking.
How would Qin Ming even manage to get a thousand yuan?
Steal or rob?
Qin Dazhi felt a bit embarrassed; he never expected his son to discuss this openly in front of the accountant and Director Jia, leaving him no room to hide.
He knew they would be annoyed hearing this proposal.
"Guixiang voiced it correctly. We discussed it; there are too many children at home. Besides, Qin Ming is about to have a regular job with a secure future. We don’t ask for much; if he can settle the pension money once for us, we won’t trouble him and his wife anymore.
After all, his younger siblings haven’t married yet; everywhere needs money. Both of us truly have no choice. Initially, we thought the eldest could help around, but since the eldest and his wife left, can we two old folks really support five children alone?
But as parents, we can’t ask Qin Ming to sacrifice his future."
Qin Dazhi continued to speak in grandiose terms.
"But a thousand yuan is too much; you should know. Qin Ming is about to become a father soon, with his wife already expecting. When the baby comes, there will be many expenses, and over the years, all the money Qin Ming earned has gone to the family.
Others may not know, but do we not know?"
Director Jia was fuming inwardly. This Qin Dazhi was incredibly short-sighted.
Upon becoming a production team leader, he became overly confident, unaware of the realities around him.
