ârelative?â duan linbai stared at the family through the partition.
the xu family lived in an old building. according to his understanding, their family situation was not good. how could it be related to the xu family?
he clearly remembered how the family had squeezed xu jiamu dry.
â which family doesnât have a few outrageous relatives? â duan linbai sipped his tea, but his attention was focused on the other side.
â not really. iâve never seen this family before. itâs the late old man and my grandfather. they were distant cousins who moved to Ning County during the war ⦠â
fu chen and song fengwan both knew xu jiamu. when they heard xu yuanfei say that they were relatives, they thought that there were too many coincidences in this world.
however, after listening to her description, it seemed that they were distant relatives.
âthen what are they doing here?â duan linbai had been observing the other side.
xu jiamu was from Ning County? he was clear about this.
could it be for the demolition? her house was in the demolition site?
there were thousands of families involved in this demolition, but duan linbai didnât have the time to look at them one by one, so he naturally didnât know if xu jiamuâs family was involved.
âno.â xu yuanfei shook her head. â he wants my father to find a job for his son in the capital. â
â i graduated from a junior college, but i didnât even get a diploma. iâve been idling at home for more than half a year, and now i want to come to beijing. itâs so easy to stand here, so there wonât be so many beijing drifters. â
â look at him, he doesnât look like a young man at all. his face is pale and he looks haggard. he doesnât look like heâs alive at all. he seems to be lazy and doesnât want to work at home. â
song fengwan turned to look outside the partition. the only person she knew was xu jiamu, who had his head lowered and didnât say a word â¦
and her parents had been trying to curry favor with their son.
â actually, heâs very capable. he just lacks an opportunity. Ning County is too small, and he canât find a suitable job. â
â beijing is a big place. with you guys taking care of it, it will definitely be different. â
âmoreover, his sister is also in the capital. if the siblings are together, they can take care of each other.â
â¦â¦
elder xu kept staring at xu jiamu. â youâre xu jiamu? â
xu jiamuâs hands clutched the corners of his clothes tightly.
her parents suddenly came to the capital, saying that they had something to do, but they dragged her here to find a relative she didnât know and asked them to find a job for her brother?
seeing his parents carrying all kinds of gifts and flattering them, xu jiamu was already embarrassed and angry, but then he met duan linbai and the others.
it felt as if the ugly side of the family had been torn apart for them to see.
âgamu! grandpa is talking to you!â her mother nudged xu jiamu.
only then did xu jiamu raise his head and look at elder xu.
âi heard youâre a doctor?â
âyes, iâll graduate next year. iâm doing my internship at the third peopleâs hospital.â
âdo you want to go to the first peopleâs hospital in the future?â
the first peopleâs hospital of beijing could be said to be one of the best hospitals in the country.
xu jiamu was startled. the school had also arranged for a group of students to do internships in first campus, but the number was limited. they were all related, so she couldnât get in.
â old man, actually, us husband and wife arenât worried at all about kamu finding a job. after all, he has a degree. itâs just that her brotherâs matter is more urgent. â the middle-aged manâs smile was a little greasy.
xu jiamuâs eyes dimmed, and he only smiled. â iâm doing pretty well at the third peopleâs hospital. itâs close to the school, and itâs very convenient for me to do my internship. â
elder xu only smiled and didnât say anything.
âitâs not easy to get such a high degree.â old master xu loved people with high academic qualifications and doted on his daughter. he looked at xu jiamu and thought about her situation, so his tone softened.
âwhatâs the use of a girl learning so many things? sheâs going to get married anyway. sheâs already 26, but she still doesnât have a boyfriend. sheâs not going on blind dates either. i really donât know what sheâs up to.â
the woman said casually, and master xu lowered his head to take a sip of hot tea without saying anything.
elder xu didnât want to bother with this family, but from the corner of his eye, he saw xu jiamu clutching the corner of his shirt. his ears were already red from holding back, so he opened his mouth. â thereâs no harm in girls learning more things. they can broaden their horizons. â
help her out of trouble.
âyouâre right.â the woman didnât refute his words. â but it didnât cost much to get a masterâs or a ph.d. with the stateâs subsidies. â
then, the couple started to promote their son again. the boy sitting in the middle didnât say much from the beginning to the end. he was obviously not good at communication.
however, fu chen and the others had arrived. they knew that the xu family had guests, so they didnât stay long.
âiâll go out and see them off.â xu yuanfei stood up and walked out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
