Rebirth in the 90s: Running Towards the Landlady's Life

201-210

Chapter 201: Generosity
Zhang Yong's wife smiled even more brightly, and the flesh on her face trembled. "She is so lucky. I haven't seen her for several years. I was thinking about meeting her this time."

Then he pulled the two three or four-year-old children who were shyly hiding behind their parents and said, "Hurry up and call him, uncle. Say congratulations and prosperity to him!"

The more she pulled, the two children hid further away.

Lin Zhe waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't make things difficult for the children." He reached into his bag and took out a wad of money, giving each child ten yuan as a New Year's gift.

"Thank your uncle quickly."

The voice was like a mosquito's hum: "Thank you...uncle."

Zhang Yong’s wife took the money from her child and put it in her bag.

Zhang Zhi's wife was not as hurried as her to put the money into her bag, but the child was obedient and gave the money to her mother.

Lin Zhe gave ten yuan, and Lin Xu had given five yuan before. The money was taken by Sun Hui. This comparison made Lin Xu feel uncomfortable. Sun Hui also felt embarrassed. It was not that she felt that she gave too little, but that Lin Zhe gave too much. She also complained that he did not communicate with them before giving it.

In fact, Lin Zhe cannot be blamed for this. Everyone gave ten yuan as New Year's money this year. How could he know that Lin Xu would cut the amount in half for his uncle's child?

Another thing is, since the child’s mother has said “Congratulations on getting rich,” shouldn’t the red envelope be handed over immediately?

Oh, you give it to me first after asking, making the child wait.

Lin Zhe has no respect for his face!

A few people were chatting about all sorts of things, and inevitably talked about working outside.

"...We work in the same factory, but we don't see each other for several days when we're busy. My wife lives in the female workers' dormitory, and I live in the male workers' dormitory. I want to rent a house, but it will cost at least several dozen yuan a month. Water and electricity cost money, and I have to cook from time to time. Firewood, rice, oil, and salt are free, so I'm afraid I'll have to spend nearly a thousand yuan a year. But after thinking about it, it's okay. At least water and electricity are free in the factory, and food is cheap, which is almost the same as cooking by myself..."

After hearing what was said, Lin Zhe just listened without having any thoughts. However, Lin Xu had a lot of thoughts.

"Will you still work in the same factory next year?"

"No, I plan to change to another one. That factory only has a lot of work during the Chinese New Year months. The salary we get during the off-season is too low. If we don't work overtime, we don't get overtime pay. We plan to find a busier factory."

Lin Xu took a puff of his cigarette. "The youngest brother happens to have two buildings for rent in Pengcheng, right next to the industrial zone. There are also large factories being built nearby. There will definitely be a lot of work in the future. I would say just find a job nearby and rent a house outside. Let the youngest brother give you a cheaper rent. It's better than living in the factory dormitory. If you want to bring your children over to live for a while, there will be a place to stay."

Lin Zhe frowned subconsciously. Why did these words sound so unpleasant?

There are even more unpleasant things.
