Qi Mengmeng had just finished paying off her mortgage and saved up her retirement fund, ready to enjoy life, when she took the wrong medicine after drinking and was sent to the 1970s.
On her ...

"I don't need you to take care of the kids."
"Sister Mengmeng, please believe me, I was the one who raised my brother." Lu Xiaochun's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Xiaochun, first, I'm still working, so I can't let you take my place. Second, even if I let you take my place, I'll pay you, so you don't have to come to my house after work."
Qi Mengmeng made it very clear that under the current circumstances, it was allowed to find someone to take over the shift, but that would require that person to come to the house after get off work to do the work. If someone reported him, it would be very troublesome even if Gu Guizhi was a soldier.
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to get into this kind of trouble.
When Lu Xiaochun saw Qi Mengmeng frowning, she quickly realized that something she said was wrong. Although she didn't know the reason, she quickly made amends: "Sister Mengmeng, what do you want me to do?"
Qi Mengmeng could see that the girl in front of her was very smart, so she said the ugly words first.
"I may take a break before the birth, but I can only tell you the specific time when the time comes. Also, if you work for me, I will give you half of the salary and half of the bills."
Before Qi Mengmeng could finish her words, Lu Xiaochun became excited. As a rural kid, he had almost no bills in his hands.
Lu Xiaochun originally thought that it would be good enough if Qi Mengmeng was willing to give her half of her salary, but she didn't expect Qi Mengmeng to be willing to give her the bill.
"Thank you, Sister Mengmeng." Lu Xiaochun didn't know what to say.
"If you think it's okay, I'll let your sister notify you when I need someone to take over." Qi Mengmeng pretended to ask casually, "I heard from your sister that you went to junior high school."
Lu Xiaochun's face immediately turned red, but she nodded quickly: "Sister Mengmeng, I can write and do math."
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said, "You should have heard from your sister that I am in the workshop now and don't need to write or do math for the time being."
Lu Xiaochun said again: "Sister Mengmeng, no matter what job I do, I will do it well and will never embarrass you."
Although what she said was very good, Qi Mengmeng was not completely reassured. She thought about telling Master Li in advance that if Lu Xiaochun really couldn't do her job well, she could be arranged to do some simple work.
Lu Xiaolan noticed the word "temporarily" that Qi Mengmeng had just said, but she didn't ask anything.
No matter what Qi Mengmeng's job is, she needs someone to take over when she gives birth.
But there is of course a big difference between the work content in the workshop and in the office.
Before leaving, Lu Xiaolan said what she had been thinking about for several times: "Sister Mengmeng, Aunt Lu from the logistics department is anxious to find a wife. Her condition for her wife is to have a job. Aunt Lu has two sons. If she gives the job to the eldest son, it will be difficult for the second son to get married next year."
What she said sounded like a jingle. Qi Mengmeng thought about it for a while before she understood.
In other words, if someone is willing to exchange jobs with Aunt Lu and give some dowry to her second son, she would probably agree.
"Are you familiar with Aunt Lu?" Qi Mengmeng asked.
"I'm not very familiar with you, but I often go there to get things, and I've talked to Aunt Lu. Aunt Lu buys food from the cafeteria every day and eats it at home. I see you often get food from the cafeteria, too. Why don't you two get your food and go home together tomorrow?"
Lu Xiaolan already had an idea in her mind.
"Okay, then please introduce me to Aunt Lu tomorrow." Qi Mengmeng accepted Lu Xiaolan's favor.
As long as Qi Mengmeng can change jobs, she will definitely be grateful to Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng changed to a simple job, so Lu Xiaochun would be able to relax more when he takes her shift in the future.
The next day at noon, Qi Mengmeng took the lunch box from Yu Xiaoman, nodded slightly, and went to the cafeteria door to wait for Lu Xiaolan.
Lu Xiaolan deliberately lined up behind Aunt Lu today. When she was getting her meal, she took a look and saw that Aunt Lu was getting only vegetarian dishes. It seemed that the quality of their family's food had plummeted recently.
After finishing her meal, Lu Xiaolan took two quick steps and went to Aunt Lu's side.
"Aunt Lu, are you going home after dinner? I want to go home too, so let's go together."
Aunt Lu knew that Lu Xiaolan's man was the captain of the Public Security Bureau. When she heard her say that they should go together, she immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go together."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked to the cafeteria entrance. Lu Xiaolan called out to Qi Mengmeng, "Sister Mengmeng, are you going home too? Let's go together."
Aunt Lu was not familiar with Qi Mengmeng. Seeing her pregnant, she asked, "Is this also from your workshop?"
Lu Xiaolan nodded: "This is Qi Mengmeng. We are in the same workshop, but Mengmeng follows Master Li, which is different from us. Moreover, Mengmeng is a military wife."
When Aunt Lu heard that Qi Mengmeng was following Master Li, she immediately became enthusiastic towards her: "So you are Master Li's apprentice. I heard before that Master Li accepted a very smart apprentice. It turns out to be you."
If Qi Mengmeng knew that the two didn't know each other, she would actually believe what Aunt Lu said.
She echoed Aunt Lu's words, "I'm lucky. I followed the master as soon as I arrived, and the master is very kind to me. But I'm in my twenties now, so I can't do some work, so I have to trouble the master again."
Aunt Lu looked at Qi Mengmeng's belly and said casually, "Isn't it? Your belly is so big that it's a bit difficult to work in the workshop."
Having said that, Aunt Lu glanced at Qi Mengmeng, and she seemed to know why Qi Mengmeng was looking for her.
Seeing that Aunt Lu had noticed something, Lu Xiaolan said hello to the two of them: "I still have to go back to feed the baby, so I won't go with you. Aunt Lu, Sister Mengmeng, I'm leaving first."
After Lu Xiaolan left, Aunt Lu looked at Qi Mengmeng and said, "You came here specifically to see me, right?"
Qi Mengmeng took out a few pieces of White Rabbit candy from her pocket and stuffed them into Aunt Lu's pockets: "Aunt, eat some candy. I've worked all morning. Eating some candy will make me feel less tired."
Aunt Lu did not take the candy from her hand. Instead, she said, "You are here to exchange jobs with me, right? My job is not busy. If you want to return the workshop job to me, you must pay more."
That being said, the wages in logistics are not as high as those in the workshop. Especially when overtime is required, the wages in the workshop are much higher than those in logistics.
Just the logistics work first please be true.
"Aunt Lu, you can see that it is inconvenient for me to work in the workshop with my big belly. If you are willing to change jobs, I am willing to give you some compensation."
Qi Mengmeng’s meaning was very clear, it was not long, and it was not an exorbitant request.
Aunt Lu was a little hesitant. To be honest, if her future daughter-in-law had not insisted on working and her second son had not disagreed, she would have been reluctant to change her job.
"Let's switch jobs, and you give me an extra 200 dollars."
