Chapter 146 Finding a job for uncle
No!
Jiang Duoduo suddenly felt that her mission of getting a free meal was at risk of failure.
She hasn't finished her pie yet. If the target person is not at the target location, how can she complete her mission of eating for free?
So Jiang Duoduo had to finish the pie in her hand while the uncle and his family were still in this alley.
Therefore, she didn't bother with the uncle's business for the time being. Instead, she picked up the pie she had just taken two bites of and continued to eat it.
Jiang Duoduo didn't care about her image now. There were only dim street lights in the alley, and the people around her were not paying attention to her.
Several street managers were surrounding the uncle's tricycle, making sarcastic remarks to each other.
What this means is that they are also following instructions from above and ask the uncle to cooperate and not hinder their work.
They also felt that it was not easy for the uncle to make a living by selling roasted sweet potatoes, but rules are rules, and they can't do anything to help!
Anyway, no matter what the uncle says, the tricycle and charcoal grill must be confiscated!
While observing the situation on the uncle's side, Jiang Duoduo ate the pie in her hand at super fast speed.
Just as she swallowed the last bite of the pie, the system sounded a notification that she had successfully gotten a free meal.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, this meal mission is completed, reward cash of 20 yuan and 1000 points.]
After hearing the notification sound of the reward arriving, Jiang Duoduo hurried over to the uncle.
"I promise not to set up a stall on this street again. I still need to use this tricycle to pick up my granddaughter from school. Can you please not confiscate it?"
The uncle was still begging those people humbly.
The aunt was really worried when she saw her husband was surrounded by several administrators, so she did not listen to the uncle and take Mengmeng home first.
She held Mengmeng and stood beside the uncle with tears in her eyes.
"Everyone, don't just stand there, just ride the tricycle away! These vendors are very cunning. If you don't take their tools, they might come out and set up a stall again soon."
As soon as the administrator made the suggestion, several people nearby pushed the uncle's family to the side, and then the administrator who spoke went up and rode the uncle's tricycle.
"grandfather……"
Xiao Mengmeng, who was standing behind, almost fell down after being pushed by them. Fortunately, Jiang Duoduo ran over in time to support her.
"Why are you pushing people while you're collecting things? Who will be responsible if the little girl falls?"
Jiang Duoduo said angrily.
Unexpectedly, those administrators ignored Jiang Duoduo and rode away on the uncle's tricycle.
After these people left, the entire alley became quiet again.
"Alas...it seems like the roasted sweet potato stall can't continue!"
The uncle sighed, walked a few steps towards the entrance of the alley, squatted down and picked up the two roasted sweet potatoes that had fallen on the ground.
The administrator was not very good at riding this old tricycle, and it wobbled so much that the two remaining roasted sweet potatoes on the oven fell off.
"Old Yang, what do you think we should do?"
The aunt limped to the uncle, holding Mengmeng's hand, and couldn't help wiping away her tears.
"It's okay, don't be sad. Don't cry in front of the child. You have to set a good example of strength for her. If the stall can't open, I can still find a job!"
The uncle patted the aunt's shoulder and comforted her.
"It's not like you haven't looked for a job before. Now you're working as a security guard for someone who's already young. My legs aren't very convenient, ah... I'm really at my wit's end this time... Poor Mengmeng, she's still so young and has to suffer with us all the time!"
The more the aunt wiped her tears, the more she shed, and Jiang Duoduo felt a little uncomfortable hearing it.
Maybe Jiang Duoduo has had such a hard life since childhood, so she can especially empathize with the aunt.
"Grandma, Mengmeng is not afraid of hardship! Mengmeng is very happy as long as she is with grandpa and grandma! Please don't abandon me like mom and dad did... wuwuwu..."
I dreamed that I could not help crying when I saw my grandma crying.
When Jiang Duoduo heard Mengmeng say that her parents didn’t want her anymore, she felt that the child was even more pitiful.
"Mengmeng, stop crying. It's cold outside. If you catch a cold from crying, you'll need injections and medicine. Grandpa and grandma will never abandon you. Grandpa will find a good job in the future so that Mengmeng and grandma can live a good life. Let's go home first!"
The uncle felt so distressed when he saw the child crying. He picked up Mengmeng, wiped the tears from her little face and comforted her.
"Well... Grandpa and Grandma, I will always love you..."
I don’t know if it was because she was afraid of injections, but Mengmeng stopped crying immediately when she heard that she had a cold and needed to get an injection and take medicine.
"Girl, you should go home too! It's not safe in the alley this late!"
When the uncle was about to go back with the child and the aunt, he saw Jiang Duoduo was still there and reminded her.
Jiang Duoduo had just taken advantage of the uncle's pie, and now she saw that his family was in trouble. If she didn't help them, she would definitely feel bad.
The first thing Jiang Duoduo thought of was to give them some money!
But how much money is appropriate?
There it is!
Jiang Duoduo's eyes suddenly lit up. She felt that it was better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish.
Simply giving some money can only solve the immediate difficulties of the uncle's family. It would be better to find a stable job for the uncle so that their lives will gradually get better in the future.
Also, given the simple personalities of the uncle and aunt, Jiang Duoduo might not necessarily accept the money she gave them.
"Uncle, I just heard you say you want to look for a job, right? I happen to have a job that I think is suitable for you. Do you want to come with me to take a look tomorrow?"
Jiang Duoduo took her roasted sweet potato and followed the uncle and aunt into the alley.
"Really? Miss, you said you can help my Lao Yang find a job?"
When the aunt heard Jiang Duoduo say that she had a job, she immediately stopped walking.
The uncle didn't want to trouble others, so he just stopped with the aunt holding Mengmeng, but didn't say anything.
"Yes, Auntie! From what I heard from you, have you ever been a security guard? I'm looking for a security guard position there, you can give it a try."
Jiang Duoduo looked at the aunt and said sincerely.
"Yeah! But that was many years ago. He's in his fifties now, and many places don't want security guards his age! We can't go to places that are too far away with our family."
As the aunt said this, her eyes suddenly darkened again. She was afraid that the job Jiang Duoduo mentioned would not be successful because of her age or because the place was too far away.
"Over fifty is no problem! I think the uncle is in good health! The place is not far away, only about 20 kilometers away."
Jiang Duoduo held the aunt's cold hand and tried her best to explain what she was worried about.
"Is fifty-plus really okay?"
Now the uncle became excited. At his age, he can only do odd jobs. It would be great if he could have a stable job!
"Uncle, you're still in the prime of your life at this age! I'll take you to see the workplace tomorrow afternoon. If you think it's suitable, we can work there. If not, that's fine too. We can look for other jobs."
"It's suitable, it must be suitable!"
The uncle and aunt spoke to Jiang Duoduo at the same time.
Now, for the uncle, it’s good enough to have a job that hires him, so why would he be picky about the job!
