Chapter 72 The mind of the second uncle and the face of the stick
The matter ended just like that, and He Yuzhu originally planned to go home and rest.
If he hadn't been stopped by Jia Zhang's unreasonable troubles, He Yuzhu would have gone home long ago.
But just when He Yuzhu wanted to go home, a small situation suddenly occurred in the yard.
The second uncle actually took away one dollar from his son Yan Jiefang.
This is the reward that Yan Jiefang, Xu Damao, and Liu Guangtian received for their hard work today.
No matter what, it's hard-earned money.
However, it was actually taken away by my father.
This immediately triggered a burst of protests from Yan Jiefang,
But there is no way. How can a person not bow his head under the dwarves? According to the second uncle's habit, it is very normal for people to take away one dollar of their liberation.
Yan Jiefang was somewhat clever. He knew that if he returned home, he would definitely not get the money back, so he had an idea and said in front of everyone: "Dad, you said you can still give me this hard-earned dollar?"
It has to be taken away, right?"
If we were at home, behind closed doors, the second uncle would really be too lazy to explain, and it would even be normal for a couple to be separated from each other.
But I'm not at home now. After all, everyone in the courtyard hasn't gone home yet. The second uncle still needs to save some face in front of the neighbors.
Suddenly, the second uncle showed his majesty as the head of the family, snorted, took a dollar, and said with a somewhat disdainful expression: "One dollar is in your eyes. It's really embarrassing for me. It's not even enough for my daily salary."
, as for your kid, do you value it so much?"
The second uncle is a seventh-level fitter in the steel rolling mill. His qualifications and skills are second only to the first uncle. This is also the pride of the second uncle and his greatest confidence to become the second uncle of the yard.
With more than 70 yuan a month, he is considered the second richest person in the courtyard.
Of course, the second uncle has a large family, so although the second uncle’s salary is high, he is not very well-off.
One of them is over ninety, so the food and clothing for the two of them are naturally more than enough.
It is impossible for the second uncle and his big family to be so well off.
But when the old man talked about his salary, he was still very proud of it, which aroused the envy of his neighbors.
At this moment, the second uncle said proudly: "Why do you, a kid, need so much money?
Is your father coveting your dollar?
I'm keeping this money for you, so you can use it to get a wife in the future.
If I give it to you, sooner or later your kid will be spoiled by eating and drinking, and a dollar will be wasted."
In fact, the second uncle has his own abacus. He is very strict about family finances and takes money very seriously. Think about it, even his son and daughter-in-law have to collect living expenses when they live at home.
This shows what kind of person he is.
He Yuzhu happened to be watching this situation, and when he heard these words, he knew in his heart what the second uncle was thinking.
Take a closer look at the good guys in the courtyard. You and Xu Damao have both bought bicycles. So, as the second uncle in the courtyard, you haven’t bought a bicycle?
This makes the second uncle, who has always been very face-conscious, quite lose face.
If someone doesn't buy it, it means they are not willing to buy it, but it doesn't mean they can't buy it.
The old man earns more than 90 yuan a month. In terms of salary alone, it is more than the salary of the factory director.
It would be easy for people to buy a bicycle, but they didn't buy one.
Even if the first uncle doesn't buy it, no one in the courtyard would dare to look down on him. He's an eighth-level fitter. Even the factory director has to be polite when he sees it.
In the factory, level eight fitters are god-like beings.
For example, if a part is half a millimeter too long and fails to pass the standard, then a level 8 fitter can bend it and the part will pass.
An eighth-level fitter is so awesome. If the factory manager dares to throw a tantrum in front of his face, the factory manager has to keep him company and say good things.
Because an eighth-level fitter is a treasure trove in any factory.
It is said that some parts of the mushroom bomb were handmade by level 8 fitters themselves. Of course, this is rumored.
Anyway, he is a great guy. No one dares to look down on him as a technical genius even if he doesn’t have a bicycle.
If a machinery factory does not have level 8 fitters, the factory director will be half as low as his peers when going out for meetings.
A level 7 fitter is just a little bit off, and the second uncle is a level 7 fitter.
If in other places, a seventh-level fitter would be equally respected, after all, he would be one level away from the top level eight.
But the second uncle happened to be in the same yard as the first uncle. The first uncle was an eighth-level fitter, and he happened to be on top of the second uncle.
Then as the second uncle, he didn't even buy a bicycle. He and two young men, Xu Damao, beat him to it. Where do you put the second uncle's face?
As an elder, as a seventh-level fitter, I can't compare to Yi Zhonghai technically, and my bike is taken over by Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, so I will naturally feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, the second uncle also has a small worry, that is, the third uncle also wants to buy a bicycle. If he, the second uncle, is preempted by the third uncle to buy a bicycle, then he will feel even more shameless in the courtyard.
.
So in the past few days, the second uncle has also begun to save money and save money to buy a bicycle.
Although this dollar is not much, it is still money anyway, so the uncle did not hesitate to take away the dollar inside. As for saving money for Yan Jiefang to marry a wife, haha,
Everyone understands this.
To He Yuzhu, it seemed that the second uncle's incident was very normal.
As for the opinions of other neighbors, anyway, the second uncle is Yan Jiefang's father and took away Yan Jiefang's money. This seems to be a very normal thing among the neighbors on the street, so no one else will care about this matter.
.
In the end, Yan Jiefang followed the second uncle home like a defeated rooster. Of course, at this moment, Yan Jiefang was obviously quite unconvinced.
Bang Jian from the Jia family, although this kid was covered in excrement and water, the gold juice certainly made Bang Jie very shameless. Although he is young, he has now begun to know what face is all about.
.
This matter will definitely be reported to the school tomorrow. I don’t know how I will be laughed at by my classmates and teachers later.
But what Qin Huairu is thinking about now is not the face issue. In her opinion, what her son did this time has already caused the family a lot of loss of face.
Now what Qin Huairu is thinking about is this cold weather. If he doesn't change and wash himself, his son may catch a cold the next day.
