After get off work, I returned to Aunt Xu's house based on my memory.

Brother Xu and his wife have already returned home from get off work.

This was also the first time Su He had met Sister Xu. She looked just as Aunt Xu had described; she was indeed very beautiful, and her whole demeanor was very gentle.

Upon seeing Su He, he greeted her gently and inquired about her work that day.

Su He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; it seemed that the Xu family members were all quite easy to get along with.

Afterwards, she inquired about how Aunt Xu's foot was doing that day, and then heard her say that Old Lady Su had left not long after she started work.

Su He breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, since she didn't eat at her workplace, she ate with the Xu family.

And this time they truly witnessed Su He's appetite.

Now I finally understand why she carried a bag of grain with her.

Watching her devour bowl after bowl of rice, Aunt Xu stared in astonishment, never expecting such a small frame to be such a big eater.

But after their initial surprise, Xu's family didn't feel sorry for her; instead, they were concerned about whether she had eaten enough.

Su He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; it was good that no one was disgusted.

After eating, Su He volunteered to do chores and helped boil water. After fetching the water and washing herself, she saw that it was already dark, so she said something to Aunt Xu and went back to her room to rest.

Before leaving, Grandma Su had already tidied up the house for her.

Lying in the warm bed, Su He felt very relaxed.

Although she only worked for one day, she was very satisfied.

Ah, if only I could stay and work in Beijing forever.

...

The next day, Su He went to work, but Director Wu didn't come over much that day. Perhaps he had checked her records and thought there was nothing wrong with her.

...

Several days passed in this way. Su He adapted to the job very well and got along well with the Xu family.

I now have a better understanding of the situation at the police station.

The Tianqiao Police Station is small, with few staff members, less than thirty including the kitchen staff. They are always busy, but Su He has gotten to know almost everyone there over the past few days.

With few employees and little work in the kitchen, she felt quite relaxed at work, so she gradually started looking for other jobs in her spare time.

She even asked about Aunt Liu and Aunt Qin.

After a few days, she got to know her colleagues a little better.

Among them, Aunt Liu's family was the best off. Her husband was the workshop director of a light bulb factory, she also had a job, her children were all in school, and both her husband's family and her own family were well-off, so she had no burdens.

She also has a nephew who works at their police station. He's an ordinary officer, but I heard he was directly assigned there after graduating from the Public Security University.

Su He had seen him a few times. The young man was one of the police officers she had met when she helped Aunt Xu catch a thief. His name was Li Yi, and he seemed quite nice.

In contrast, Aunt Qin's family was less well-off. Her husband also worked in a government agency, but as a gatekeeper. It was said that he was assigned this job after being wounded in the army and demobilized.

My family is from the countryside, in the suburbs of Beijing. They are not well-off, and they have a large family to support, including elderly people and children back in their hometown.

Fortunately, both of them have jobs now, so they can help each other out a bit.

As for Chef Liao, he is said to be a chef with a proper lineage, having been in the business for decades, and his skills are excellent.

I heard that he was transferred to this small police station because he offended someone, but now he's a level seven chef and earns over sixty yuan a month.

I heard that many state-run restaurants later wanted to transfer Chef Liao away, but he refused, seemingly intending to retire there.

After hearing this, Su He thought to herself, "If it were me, I wouldn't agree either. No state-run restaurant has an easier job than this. Why should I go to a state-run restaurant to suffer for the same salary?"

However, Chef Liao truly lives up to his reputation as a level seven chef; his cooking is exceptionally delicious, and he has completely won over Su He's stomach in the past few days...
