After leaving home, she went straight to the private plot in her hometown. Looking at the winter melons all over the ground, Ye Qing picked three big ones without thinking. Seeing that the pumpkins were growing well, she picked three more big pumpkins.

After putting it into the space, she walked towards the village entrance. It happened that the village's ox cart was also going to the commune, so she just hitchhiked. The aunts and aunties who were already on the car greeted her with a smile when they saw her, and she also politely called people.

"Qingqing, I heard that you will be engaged to Changlin in two days?"

Ye Qing nodded shyly, "Yes, Auntie, Auntie He Hua is the matchmaker for me."

"You've really grown up. It's time to talk about your in-laws. Changlin is a very capable child. You two are both good children and a perfect match!"

Another woman with short hair stretched her neck towards Ye Qing, her face shining, "Qingqing, how much dowry did the Xiang family give you?"

Ye Qing frowned almost inaudibly, "Aunt, not much."

"How much is a little? There has to be a number, right?"

Ye Qing regretted riding the ox cart. Some people were idle all day long, gossiping about other people's affairs and had no sense of boundaries at all.

"I can't remember clearly. Aunt, if you want to know, you can go to the Xiang family and ask."

The woman was choked by her words, muttered something and stopped asking. She saw that Ye Qing was a young girl with a thin skin, so she asked so directly, but she didn't expect that she would not respond.

The other people on the bus were also curious, but seeing that Ye Qing was a tight-lipped person, they stopped asking for trouble. They chatted with each other about their own gossip, and Ye Qing sat aside and listened passively. The oxcart arrived after shaking for ten minutes.

Ye Qing got off the bus and casually greeted a few women before going to wait for the bus where the buses passed by. She was lucky and got on the bus in less than ten minutes. Because it was relatively early, there were still many seats on the bus. She paid two cents and found a window seat and sat down.

Looking at the busy streets outside the window, Ye Qing smiled knowingly and began to look forward to this trip to the county town.

The county seat is just north of Shuangbanqiao Commune, not too far away, and it only takes less than half an hour to get there by bus.

"We're at the supply and marketing cooperative. Is anyone getting off?"

"have!"

Ye Qing shouted, then stood up and walked to the car door. After the car stopped, he got out directly.

She stood by the road and looked at the strange yet familiar street. She couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that she would be reborn? This was her first time in the county town. She came here with Xiang Changlin in her previous life, so her memory was a little fuzzy. Time was limited and she had no time to miss the past. She directly asked about the state-owned restaurant and went there.

It was not meal time, so the state-owned restaurant was still relatively quiet. Standing at the door and looking inside, Ye Qing saw two waitresses leaning against the counter chatting and laughing. After a while, he still did not approach them to talk. They were just waitresses. What if he revealed his intention to sell vegetables and was reported by them? To be honest, this was the first time Ye Qing had done this in his two lives, and he was still very scared.

She smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly and started walking towards the supply and marketing cooperative again. Since she was already here, she might as well go for a walk.

Ye Qing entered the supply and marketing cooperative and went straight to the fabric section. When the salesperson in the fabric section saw that she was wearing tattered clothes, which looked like a typical country girl, he looked at her with disdain and ignored her, and went on chatting with the shoe salesperson next to him.

"I heard that the County Party Committee Guesthouse is recruiting these days. Do you have any relatives going there?"

The shoe seller shook her head. "I haven't heard about it. What kind of position are you recruiting for? Do I need to take an exam?"

"I'm not sure, but I heard they're hiring waiters and cafeteria helpers."

"Ah? We still need to recruit openly for this? Didn't we absorb everything internally before?"

Nowadays, any position in the city is highly sought after. Generally, when a position becomes vacant, it will be targeted by insiders, who will then try to get their relatives, brothers and sisters in, so outsiders will never get a chance to fill it.

The cloth salesman lowered his voice and said, "I heard that a waitress had hooked up with a leader from the city who was attending a meeting, and was discovered and reported. The woman was a relative of a junior leader of the guesthouse, and got in through the back door. Now the junior leader has been suspended and investigated, and the woman has also been fired. This incident has caused an ugly mess, so their director has ordered that they will have to recruit openly in the future, and in-service personnel are not allowed to make direct recommendations!"

The shoe salesman glared at her and said, "I heard about this. How can such a nice girl be so shameless?"

"Tsk~ He wanted to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix, but he ended up shooting himself in the foot! I would say that man is no good! He's a big leader from the city, but he's just a bear!"

Both of them are married, so they hate women who hook up with other people's men. Of course, they also hate married men who still hook up with other women.

"Hey~ Don't touch it if you don't want to buy it! You can't afford to pay for it if it gets dirty!"

After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and found Ye Qing touching the fabric, and immediately scolded him.

Ye Qing rolled his eyes at her and turned away, making the woman very angry.

Although the conversation between the two was very quiet, Ye Qing heard most of it. After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she asked someone about the location of the guesthouse and went straight there.

When she arrived, there were not many people at the door of the guesthouse, so she thought about it and walked in directly.

The receptionist was a young girl. When she saw her, she did not show a look of disdain and contempt like the salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative. Instead, she smiled and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"

Judging from Ye Qing's dress, it was clear that she was not here to stay overnight. The County Party Committee Guesthouse only accommodated leaders and staff from all levels who came on business trips or for meetings. People like her were not received there.

Seeing her gentle attitude, Ye Qing smiled at her, "Hello, comrade. I heard that your guesthouse is recruiting people now, right? Are you still recruiting now?"

The girl at the front desk looked her up and down, then replied, "We're hiring. Today is the last day. Are you applying on your own?"

Ye Qing nodded, "Yes."

"How old are you?"

"I am nineteen years old, eighteen years old."

"We are now recruiting waiters and canteen helpers. The waiters are responsible for receiving the leaders who come to the meeting and staying, helping them clean up, fetching water, etc. Canteen helpers are responsible for washing and cutting vegetables and doing miscellaneous work. Which one do you want to apply for? You are from the countryside, right?"

Ye Qing replied, "Yes, I'm from the Shengli Brigade of Shuangbanqiao Commune. I can do both of the jobs you mentioned. Do you have any requirements?"

"Wait a moment. I'll ask the person in charge of the HR department to interview you. I'm not responsible for these things."

Ye Qing nodded gratefully, "Okay, thank you, comrade."

"You're welcome."
