"yes!"

"Xiao Zhao, you have to keep a close eye on Comrade Xiao Li. We can't let Comrade Xiao Li lose face. We also need to give these women a good talking-to. It's not something just anyone can do to help them find jobs."

Judging from the current employment situation in Beijing, even our military region is not as good as Comrade Li. All this, how many people have been helped out, is enough.”

"Don't worry, sir! I know all the special skills and abilities of the unemployed women in our unit. There won't be any mistakes."

"Then let's get it done right away."

"good"

...

"Director Zhao, is this true?"

"It's true, but this job was offered by Comrade Li Mianmian, who is also the daughter-in-law of Commander Shen. Whether you pass or not depends on yourselves."

As for how much your monthly salary is, I didn't ask you. Putting aside other things, you all take manual labor from her factory. Although I haven't calculated it specifically, I still have a general idea of ​​how much you can earn in a month.

Besides, I felt that if you went to work for them as permanent employees, you would definitely earn more than you do now, so I didn't ask.

Most importantly, putting everything else aside, Comrade Li hasn't withheld any wages for the manual labor you've done at home these past few days, so you can rest assured about that.

"Director Zhao, don't worry, we know what we're doing."

"I'm telling you, if you pass, you must work hard. Putting aside everything else, we can't let Comrade Li lose face in front of her classmates."

Not only will we embarrass others, but since we all live in the same military family compound, how will we have the nerve to greet them?

Think about it, Comrade Li has such a good job opportunity, who wouldn't want it? Why does he have to consider us? It's because he is a descendant of a soldier, a descendant of a martyr, and now a military family member. He understands the difficulties of being a military spouse, which is why he always thinks of everyone whenever there's something good to be had.

So everyone should seize this opportunity, and at the same time remember their kindness, work hard for them, understand?

"Don't worry! We know what's important."

"Also, after you pass the test, if you have any problems in the future, go to Comrade Li. She will definitely solve what she can. If she can't solve it, then come to me."

During this period, if there is anything you don't understand, be sure to ask Comrade Li in advance.

Also, be more efficient with your work in the future, and stop gossiping all the time, lest you make Li's classmates laugh at you.”

“We know that’s because we have nothing better to do. It will definitely not happen again.”

"Alright, remember to be at the entrance of Peking University at 4:30 PM tomorrow and wait for Comrade Li. She will take you to the exam, understand?"

"Okay, I've got it. Thank you, Director Zhao."

...

How are Duan Miao and the others doing?

"Sister Mianmian, where did you and these five people come from?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"This is a big problem. You have no idea, not only are their clothes well-made, but most of them also know a little bit of embroidery."

"I know that. I specifically found some embroidery skills for you, but they only know a little bit."

"But this is still quite impressive! Although it doesn't reach the skill level of the old embroiderer, it's not bad either."

"That's good. I'm just worried about how I'll explain things to the commander!"

"Sister, why do you insist on using the term 'military family member'?"

"I am a military family member myself, and also a descendant of soldiers. I know how hard they work, so I thought I would help them."

"So that's how it is."

"Take a look and see what we're missing. Let's get everything ready this Sunday so we can open for business soon."

"Okay, no problem. Leave the rest of the setup to me. As for the opening date, we'll talk about it later."

"Okay, but I don't have time on Sunday, so you'll have to run errands with these guys!"

"good

Things are almost done here, and the competition with the English department is about to begin.

"I heard that the daughter-in-law of the third son's family in Chief Shen's household has helped the women in our compound find several jobs."

"I've heard about this. They need someone with skillful hands, and preferably someone who knows a little embroidery. Nobody else will do."

That's right.

"I heard that Comrade Li and his classmate opened a tailor shop."

"What's there to brag about? It's only because the regulations are loose now, otherwise they would all be labeled as lackeys of capitalism."

"Since you're all lackeys of capitalism, why are you still taking jobs from our factory? And why is that?"

"Comrade Zhou, this, I..."

"Alright, that's enough. Since you have the nerve to do it, you've already said things like 'eat the food' and 'curse the cook,' so why don't you have the guts to admit it?"

If you have the ability, don't worry about those few fruits and dates; it makes you look too greedy.

"Li, I didn't expect your spoken English to be so good!"

"It's alright!"

"Li, how did you study?"

"Exactly, let's share it!"

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that when I was sent to the countryside in Northeast China, there was nothing to do in the winter, so I learned it from the radio. Otherwise, the winter is too long, and people are prone to growing hair."

"Oh, I see."

"These radio tickets are not easy to get."

"Forget about the tickets, the money alone is considerable!"

"Let me tell you! You guys would be better off getting up a little earlier each day and practicing with the students from the foreign language department."

"Yes! Li is right."

"Li, the instructor just said that you and a few other students will be going with Professor Zhang and his team to receive the delegation on Wednesday."

"Okay, thank you, squad leader."

"You're welcome"

"Well then, everyone, I'll head back now."

Okay, goodbye.

"goodbye"

I really didn't expect to get this spot so easily, but I have to thank myself for it. Back when I was in the countryside, I would practice my spoken English whenever I had nothing to do in the winter. Even after I got married, although I can't practice online anymore, I haven't fallen behind.

Putting everything else aside, the children in the family are quite fluent in spoken English. When I was teaching them, I always told them not to speak it outside, for fear of being arrested and paraded around.

But things are better now. Putting aside everything else, schools are starting to pay more attention to foreign languages.

"Shen Xi's family is back."

"Yes! Aunt Liu, are you having fun in here?"

Yes! Yes!

"I've heard from Shen Xi's family that you can help the women in our residential compound find jobs. Is that true?"

"Aunt Wu, is there something you need?"
