Not long after leaving the department store, they parted ways with Fang Chuchu.
Because of Fang Chuchu, their meeting ended much earlier than originally planned.
Huang Qinqin suggested on the spur of the moment, "How about we go to the market and buy some vegetables?"
There wasn't much food left at home. Zhang Yumei probably hadn't expected so many people to come, and she bought enough groceries for two or three extra people. So, she had actually already cooked dinner for lunch.
"Great! I've never been to the city to buy groceries before. Is it possible to buy meat anytime?"
Huang Guiming was the first to respond; he always seemed incredibly energetic and had inexhaustible stamina.
"It is true that meat is sold every day, but you can't buy meat every day. One reason is that each person has a limited number of meat coupons."
"Another point is that there are many people living in the city, but the meat processing plant doesn't put a lot of meat on the market for us every day. So basically, if you want to buy meat, you have to get up early and queue up to grab it."
Huang Qinqin recalled the first time she went to the market with Chen Zhaodi to buy groceries. At the time, she couldn't understand why they had to go to buy groceries before dawn.
At the time, she naively thought that as long as the market was still open, she could buy as many vegetables as she wanted whenever she went there.
Reality hit her hard. The vegetables were okay, but if she wanted to eat meat, she basically had to get up very early to buy bones or offal.
Huang Guiming felt a little sad. It wasn't much better than living in the village. In the village, at least you could occasionally catch a fish or something to improve your meals.
......
Huang Jianmin and Huang Guiming were stunned to see that Huang Qinqin had spent nearly 50 cents on just vegetables. They knew that everything cost money in the city, but these vegetables, which were worthless in the village, were so expensive. They felt that the pressure of city life was really too great...
Huang Guiming whispered to Huang Jiancai, "Brother Jiancai, why don't we sell vegetables too? It's such a good way to make money! So many vegetables in the village are used to feed pigs, but now it seems like they're all money!"
"Don't even think about it, this is pure speculation!"
"Ah, if only we could sell things from the village at the market..."
When Huang Qinqin heard Huang Guiming say that, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: if she could successfully get a job at the department store, she would look for another opportunity to try.
......
Yesterday morning, Huang Qinqin and the others finished their sales clerk exams, and this morning they took the logistics position exams together with Fang Chuchu.
Compared to the number of people taking the exam yesterday, there are significantly fewer people taking the exam today.
When Huang Qinqin received the exam paper, she felt that this logistics position was really set up to be 'easy'.
The questions were very simple; anyone who had completed elementary school could answer them. However, given yesterday's sales clerk exam, it was more challenging for those with a higher level of education.
Most people would choose to apply for a sales clerk position, and few would imagine that they could apply for two positions at the same time. So, even if this group of people failed yesterday, they are almost guaranteed to get the job today.
After finishing her exam yesterday, Huang Qinqin specifically looked at the recruitment principles for logistics positions.
The top 20 candidates with the highest scores will be given priority admission. If any of the top 20 candidates withdraw from the position for personal reasons, the next candidate will be automatically admitted.
If it weren't for the need to provide a safety net for a few individuals, the logistics positions wouldn't have used this kind of written exam to determine the recruitment list.
After all, logistics requires a certain amount of strength and physique to ensure the smooth operation of the department store's logistics work.
In a written exam, how can you possibly determine who is stronger?
So ultimately, as long as you have connections, you can create a job if there isn't one, and you can create an opportunity if there isn't one.
Fang Chuchu's state after today's exam was completely different from yesterday. Yesterday, she was very anxious after the exam because she couldn't remember much of the knowledge on the test paper.
She didn't understand why sales clerks needed to take these exams. Wasn't it enough to just know how to sell things?
Most importantly, although she graduated from high school, she was the kind of person who didn't really study in school, and knowledge simply didn't get into her brain.
But today was different; she knew all the answers to the questions on the test! What does that mean?
This means she has a very high chance of passing!
Fang Chuchu happily invited Huang Qinqin: "Qinqin, how about we go to a state-run restaurant for a celebratory meal?"
Huang Qinqin would be willing if it were just her alone, but now that there are six or seven of them, and the others are all men, it's not very convenient.
"Chuchu, there are too many of us today, so it's not convenient. Let's go out for dinner together another time."
Fang Chuchu pouted unhappily. She originally wanted to just say that they should go together, and she would treat them if necessary!
However, fearing that Huang Qinqin might misunderstand and think they were poor, he held back. Reluctantly, he said, "Okay then, I'll ask you to go out to eat together again later."
"Yes, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If we both work in the department store, there will be opportunities every day."
Huang Qinqin wasn't just trying to flatter her. As long as everyone works at the department store, there are bound to be many opportunities. However, while there are opportunities, whether or not they will actually go and eat there is no guarantee.
After all, the "next time" that Chinese people talk about is always particularly far away.
......
The official admission list won't be released for another week, so Huang Jiancai and his group plan to return to their village first.
