Chapter 737: Chapter 737: The Siblings Singing in Harmony
Even Eldest Brother Yun was sowhat surprised when he heard the news.
He was still striving for a promotion in a factory, unaware of the greater world beyond his own experiences, focused only on imdiate benefits, which explained why, at the age of thirty, he had only managed to beco a minor workshop director.
“Now, as long as children study hard, they will achieve results.”
His nieces and nephews graduated from college in the nineties when the country had already begun to take off.
They also had opportunities to showcase their talents.
“University job allocation depends on grades and performance at school. They’ll be assigned to better units based on these. Of course, you could choose not to be involved in your children’s affairs, hoping they’ll take over your positions. Unfortunately, they’ll miss the boat. As tis are advancing, so state-owned enterprises will disappear without reform, and there will be no such thing as job replacent anymore.”
Eldest Sister-in-law Yun indeed thought this way.
Her son could take over their jobs if his grades weren’t good enough.
But now, hearing what her sister-in-law said, she imdiately beca anxious. What would they do if she beca laid off and they didn’t have any farmland?
Yun Xiaoxiao could see Eldest Sister-in-law Yun’s anxiety and concern; it seed that her words had hit ho.
This ant her two nephews were about to fall on hard tis.
And there would be less idle gossip about her.
She did not deliberately tell her sister-in-law that although job heritance was disappearing, private factories were on the rise, and the children could work there, even if it ant alternating shifts and twelve-hour days, or even longer, with not very high wages.
A childhood without a spanking is incomplete.
As an aunt, her only intention was to give them a complete childhood, with no ill intent.
The two children downstairs felt a chill down their spines. Glancing at their two cousins, who wore warm and stylish clothes and expensive-looking leather shoes, they felt envious.
Father Yun was standing at the kitchen doorway and heard his youngest daughter’s words.
She was absolutely right, it would no longer be easy to take over jobs in the future; it would be an impossibility.
Having attended university, her perspective was naturally broader than theirs.
The two grandchildren of Eldest Brother Yun had beco sowhat complacent, their grades declining. When they all lived under the sa roof, their performance wasn’t so poor.
He thought it was ti for Eldest Brother Yun and his wife to tighten their parental control.
In the city, without a job, how would one find a wife or support oneself?
Unlike in the countryside, where at least one had farmland.
Even though food ration coupons provided food now, who knew when they would be rendered useless, and what would the children do then?
“Overindulging children is wrong. When it’s ti to be strict, you must be strict, and when it’s ti for punishnt, it must be administered.”
Zhao Tianlei’s eyes were filled with indulgence; he realized his wife was handing Eldest Brother Yun and Eldest Sister-in-law Yun a torch, suggesting they discipline their children.
“Indeed, it’s true; punishnt must be administered when necessary. Otherwise, children don’t learn their lessons. If they don’t study diligently and only play, it’s not a big issue now while they’re young, but what will happen when they grow up? If they don’t get into university, can’t find a job, how will they marry and have children? Who would marry a man without a job?” Yun Er added his agreent.
The siblings sang in harmony, voicing concerns that Eldest Brother Yun and Eldest Sister-in-law Yun also worried about.
Neither of their sons had good grades—it was doubtful they would get into university. Without a job, which family’s daughter would want to marry them?
