Chapter 123 - 118: Trying to Stop
Fang Pingying saw him in such a hurry, she immediately reached out and pulled him, "Dad, wait a minute, there are some things I need to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Just like I mentioned earlier, the job Zhiyong found for Zhiming might not be too good. It seems that the living and dining conditions are quite tough." Fang Pingying still decided to first tell Luo Dashan about the drawbacks, to prevent them from getting overly excited too soon.
Upon hearing this, Luo Dashan hesitated, then asked, "How tough is it? There’s still food, right?"
"The food is probably about the same as what we have at home. There isn’t a private room to live in, he’d have to stay in a large dormitory with many other people." Fang Pingying repeated exactly what Luo Zhiyong had told her,
"However, the work isn’t too heavy; mainly organizing items, making sure nothing goes missing, and it requires someone responsible, not like Zhiming who disappears every two to three days."
On hearing this, Luo Dashan relaxed and smiled, unconcerned. "That’s nothing tough. Farming here in the countryside is even harder."
In Fang Pingying’s view, of course, this wasn’t considered tough. Just sitting and watching over things wouldn’t be deemed tough at any time, and especially not in these times with such a high salary. If she were a man, she’d be willing to do it.
However, the Luo family can be difficult to talk to, so Fang Pingying felt it was best to clarify things first.
She said, "Zhiyong asked me to make sure you and Zhiming understood clearly. If Zhiming is willing, he can go to the provincial city with me tomorrow. If not, he can stay at home, and next time if his brother finds a better job, we’ll send a telegram to let him know."
