"No, no! Director, you're serious. We can't wait to welcome a busy person like you to our home."

"This must be Zhao Qin, Comrade Zhao! Nice to meet you! Comrade Zhao has a pair of skillful hands, and the pickles she makes are so delicious that all the workers in our factory want more!"

"Haha, these are all homemade dishes. Making them yourself doesn't cost much, so as long as everyone likes them, that's fine. I happened to make quite a bit a few days ago, and when Director Li left, I asked my wife to pack a few extra cans for you to take home and enjoy."

Nuan Ma is very generous and gives gifts as soon as she opens her mouth.

Li Sheng waved his hands quickly.

"No, no, I'm not asking for anything. The truth is, after discussion among our cannery leadership, we'd like to invite Comrade Zhao Qin to be our technical advisor. I wonder if Comrade Zhao is interested."

"Technical guidance? You mean you want our Xiaoqin to work as a worker in the cannery? A regular employee?"

Grandma's eyes were full of excitement.

At this time, if a family can have a regular worker with a salary, it is a very honorable thing. How can grandma not be excited?

Li Sheng, who grew up in the countryside, had a deep understanding of the difficulties faced by rural residents. Seeing his grandmother so excited, he didn't show any sarcasm or contempt. Instead, he patiently explained the situation to her.

"Don't get excited, old lady. If your daughter-in-law really accepts our factory's invitation, she will not only become a regular employee of our cannery, but also receive the salary of a first-level, fifth-grade worker, 66.80 yuan."

66.8 yuan is more than what the third brother earned as a militiaman.

Not only grandma was shocked, but even Nuan's mother and father were shocked.

"But, I'm going to give birth in a few months."

No one would think too much money, but compared with the baby in her belly, Nuan Ma thinks the baby is more important.

"Comrade Zhao, don't worry. You can arrange for someone to take over the shift while your child is taking care of you. As long as it doesn't affect the cannery's product updates, everything is up to you."

The cannery had offered such good conditions that Nuan Ma was already tempted, but she respected her grandmother more, so she looked at her grandmother and wanted to ask for her opinion.

"You girl, it's right here at my doorstep, why are you still hesitating?"

With grandma's words, Nuan Ma was even happier. She discussed the relevant matters with Li Sheng and decided to report to the cannery in three days.

After seeing Li Sheng off, the Liu family was very happy. Grandma even took half a day off and went home to prepare a large table of delicious food to celebrate for Nuan Ma.

"Third sister-in-law is amazing! I heard from my uncle that the cannery gives out really good gifts during the New Year and other holidays. Not only do we get money and tickets, but we also get a lot of fruit and canned food. Plus, they built a new residential building this year. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll even get a room."

Second aunt said this with envy in her eyes.

"Oh, that's great!"

It was the first time that grandma heard of someone being so kind as to give a house. When she looked at Nuan Mama again, she looked as if she was looking at a walking house.

Nuan Ma was so stared at that she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

"Mom, even if there are houses to be distributed, they're given to model workers and pacesetters. How can I, a new factory worker, possibly get one?"

Even if we were given a dormitory, it would definitely not be as comfortable as home. Besides, Dad is usually in town, so it seems that we should arrange a house for him.
