Chapter 171 The long gown that cannot be taken off
"Not working during the summer vacation? Really? Then why did you come all the way here?"

Liu Xiaobing was even more surprised when he heard this.

He couldn't help but shook his head. Although his cousin was one year older than him, he was still too impulsive.

Isn't this a joke?
When Yang Xiao saw Liu Xiaobing's expression, he knew what he was thinking and immediately made up an excuse:
"Xiaobing, I'm not kidding you. I'm planning to go to Shenzhen this time. I have a summer job waiting for me in Shenzhen. I'll also go to college in Shenzhen by then, you know? And I can get familiar with the place in advance."

"Is that so? Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me worry for nothing. Are you going to work in the factory too?"

"That's about right. I came here to ask you for a favor. When my parents ask about it, you can just say that I work in your factory and help me fool them. How about that?"

"Can you do this alone in Shencheng? You've never been there before?"

Liu Xiaobing looked a little embarrassed, worried about Yang Xiao, "Of course, if you want me to cover for you, that's no problem. How about this, I'll take a day off and send you there some other day?"

But no matter what, Yang Xiao is still his cousin, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only arrange it this way.

Because he knew that the purpose of Yang Xiao doing this was to reassure Liu Yuxia and the others!

But after all, Yang Xiao had no social experience and no acquaintances to take care of him, so even he was a little worried!
This big city is nothing like the county town where I live!
It is no exaggeration to say that the toilets in big shopping malls are cleaned all the time and are even cleaner than his hometown!

He could imagine what kind of shock this kind of metropolis would bring to Yang Xiao.

Liu Xiaobing boasted that he had been out there for a year and had seen a lot of things, and now he looked like a member of society.

When facing Yang Xiao, his cousin who is one year older than him, he actually has a vague sense of superiority of being "knowledgeable and experienced".

Because in his eyes, Yang Xiao is just a student!
Yang Xiao waved his hand and said:
"Cousin, there's no need to send me off. Just go to work. I can find your house by myself. Are you worried that I can't make it to Shenzhen?"

"That's true."

"Cousin is cousin. When Liu Xiaobing came to Dongguan, he came with a relative. He couldn't do this alone." Yuan Limei interrupted with a smile.

"Go away, stop talking about this! Are you afraid that I can't come alone?" Liu Xiaobing said in shame and anger when his weakness was exposed.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao smiled and said, "By the way, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

Liu Xiaobing said, "I'm waiting for you. Come on, I'll treat you to something you want to eat."

"Let's go. I see there's a restaurant up ahead. It's delicious. I happen to be with a few friends."

"friend?"

"Well, they came with me."

Yang Xiao walked in front to lead the way, and he looked like a local.

After a while, we arrived at a restaurant that serves "century-old Sichuan cuisine".

Cantonese cuisine tends to be light, and Yang Xiao got a little tired of it after eating it a few times in his previous life. He still prefers the heavier flavors of southwestern cuisine.

The taste and reputation of this Sichuan restaurant are good. He had eaten there a few times in his previous life and had always been thinking about it.

This time I'll give it a try.

Yuan Limei and Liu Xiaobing followed behind, muttering:

"Your cousin seems to be quite familiar with this place. Has he been here before?"

"I don't know. My uncle and his family also worked in Wancheng for a few years, but my cousin doesn't seem to have been here."

"Maybe he has just figured out the road conditions."

After Yang Xiao entered the restaurant, he picked up the menu and quickly ordered seven or eight dishes.

Then he took out his cell phone and walked out, calling Zhou Hongyu and the other person, telling them to hurry out of the hotel and turn the corner, where they would see the restaurant, and he would be waiting for them at the door.

Yuan Limei had a worried look on her face and said, "Tsk tsk, your cousin ordered so many dishes, can he finish them?"

Liu Xiaobing said: "It's okay, didn't he say he had a few friends?"

"Do you have any money on you?"

"How can I have more? I've already spent the three hundred you gave me."

"Are you going to recharge your internet bill again?"

Yuan Limei raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Will you die if you don't use the Internet for a while?"

"Don't you have nothing to do after work?"

"Then don't you know to work a little longer?"

"We'll talk about it later."

Yang Xiao was talking on the phone outside the door. Seeing the two of them arguing again, he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Mostly it’s about money and internet.

But it is normal for his cousin to be addicted to the Internet at his current age. He is still a child. What can be asked of him?

After all, there is still no money.

A poor couple has nothing to worry about.

Fortunately, this cousin later learned the skills of car repair and returned to his hometown to open a shop.

Otherwise, if he continues to wander around and work like this, there's no telling how long it will take for his family to break up.

Yang Xiao knew that his cousin later developed a gambling habit, and he didn't know whether he would have a different fate in this life.

After a while, Yang Xiao met Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao at the door.

Yang Xiao introduced them to each other.

After the dishes were served, everyone had been hungry for a long time, so they started eating while chatting.

Only Yuan Limei seemed a little absent-minded.

Halfway through the meal, she took out a bank card and handed it to Liu Xiaobing under the table.

After winking outside, Liu Xiaobing understood and said, "Brother Xiao, I'm going out to buy a pack of cigarettes."

Yang Xiao nodded and agreed.

Although Liu Xiaobing and Yuan Limei sometimes bicker with each other, they are basically under Yuan Limei's control.

Yuan Limei is the one who manages the money on weekdays.

Yang Xiao ordered eight dishes in total, mostly meat dishes, and the meal cost at least two hundred yuan.

Although Liu Xiaobing is a cousin, he is the host after all, and they should pay for the meal. Even though Yuan Limei is not as old as Yang Xiao, she is also sensible.

She knew that in this situation, she couldn't let her man lose face, so she quickly asked Liu Xiaobing to go out and get the money.

But how could Yang Xiao not know about their little actions?
I also took the opportunity to go to the toilet and settled the bill at the front desk.

After Liu Xiaobing was delayed outside for about ten minutes and came back to pay the bill, he was told by the boss that it had been bought by Yang Xiao.

He felt somewhat guilty for not being hospitable enough.

"Brother Xiao, you come to my place, how can I let you pay the bill?"

"It's okay. I've found a place to live. You and your sister-in-law can go to work without worrying about me. I'll be leaving in two days."

After the meal, Yang Xiao and Liu Xiaobing discussed again the words Liu Yuxia asked.

After several confirmations, Yang Xiao said goodbye to them.

on the way back.

Yuan Limei said: "It's better if Brother Xiao doesn't come. It's not very convenient for us to live there."

Liu Xiaobing didn't care: "It's better than living in the factory, right? The dormitory provided by the factory has more than ten people squeezed into one room. It's so smelly that it's enough to kill people! How can he, a high school graduate, endure such hardship!?"

"That's true."

Yuan Limei nodded in agreement, then asked, "By the way, how much money did you withdraw just now?"

"There were only 500 left in the card, and I took it all out."

"Come on, let's go lie down again."

"Why bother going? It's just this little money. I'll have to spend it until I get paid anyway. There's no point in putting it in the bank, right?"

Yuan Limei shook her head when she heard this.

He took out a stack of red banknotes from his bag, about 20 or 30 of them, which immediately caught Liu Xiaobing's eyes and he exclaimed:
"Where does all this money come from?"

"Just now when you went to withdraw money, your cousin gave me 3000 yuan in total, and told me not to tell anyone else and to spend it sparingly."

"Damn, this is weird, could it be given by my aunt?"

"I was just about to ask you that. He said he made the money by running a small business, but I don't quite believe it. Maybe his parents gave it to him, right? How can your eldest aunt's family make so much money from business?"

Liu Xiaobing thought about it carefully, then shook his head.

"It shouldn't be that serious. My aunt and uncle are not that kind of people. They won't give Brother Xiao so much money, let alone give me this money for no reason. Did Brother Xiao say anything else?"

"No, just tell us to keep doing it. If we can't do it, we can go back and learn a skill like car repair and open our own shop to make money. It's much better than working in a factory."

"Car repair? My dad also told me to learn this technology from a friend of his. Oh, forget it. I'll just take the money first. After all, he is my cousin. I'll talk about it later."

Liu Xiaobing didn't want to worry too much about this windfall.

He and his wife didn't have much money to begin with, so they just wanted to get it with a clear conscience first.

Dongguan is a semi-industrial town.

Half of the city is industrial parks, which leads to a large number of immigrants here.

It brings together most of the workers from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing and Central Plains.

[Lingcan Hardware Processing Factory Recruitment XXX]

【.】

Yang Xiao, Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao walked through the streets and saw factory recruitment notices on the walls everywhere.

It was about eight o'clock.

They also came across a group of workers pouring out of a factory, eating cheap boxed lunches or snacks at street stalls.

Among them are some young boys and girls with childish faces who look like students.

Yang Xiao was silent for a while.

He had worked in a factory for two months in his previous life and knew the workload and how hard and tiring it was.

He felt mixed emotions when he saw some female workers who graduated from junior high school and left their hometown to work on the assembly line.

There were several factories on this street they passed by.

The stone bricks next to the gutters on both sides of the street were covered with black oil stains, and a pungent strange smell hit me in the face.

But Yang Xiao did not reject it.

Because he knew that these were the sorrows of this world.

He could even imagine that his parents had spent several years like this while working away from home a few years ago.

Zhou Hongyu covered his nose and said jokingly, "Yuanbao, I heard that you were planning to join the factory before. Now that you have this opportunity, why don't you try it first?"

Li Yuanbao looked embarrassed: "Forget it, forget it, I don't think I can bear it."

Seeing this, Yang Xiao made a joke: "I have asked my cousin to contact their factory. We will go there to officially start work tomorrow morning!"

"Ah? Is this true?" Li Yuanbao and Zhou Hongyu said in unison.

"Didn't we agree to work together during the summer vacation? What do you think?"

"How about we take a look first?"

After seeing these scenes, Zhou Hongyu began to back out.

"Then let's look at a few more."

Yang Xiao smiled, shook his head, turned and left.

He knew that Zhou Hongyu had been spoiled since childhood, and if he were asked to work in a factory, he would definitely not be able to persist.

If it were Li Yuanbao, there would be some possibility.

After all, how could Kong Yiji's gown be taken off so easily?
