It was wrapped in red paper glued together with glue, and contained 20 big unity notes, totaling 200 yuan.
Two hundred yuan is enough for Jiang Ming or Jiang Jun to get married.
The two hundred yuan she earned from selling her work, plus the ten yuan she earned from selling bacon, she secretly saved two hundred and ten yuan!
Jiang Zao quickly took off his pants and sewed a pocket inside with rags. After putting the money in, he sewed the pocket shut so that it would not fall out even if he jumped.
She had just put on her pants when the door of the hut opened from the outside. Jiang Xing walked in and glanced up and down: "You are pulling the curtains in broad daylight, are you a thief?"
As she spoke, she opened the curtains, pushed open the window, and lay back down on the bed.
The two sisters slept in the same small room. In the summer, Jiang Xing was afraid of the heat, so she slept on the small window under the window. In the winter, she was afraid of the cold, so she switched places with Jiang Zao. She slept against the wall, leaving Jiang Zao to enjoy the cool wind.
Even though they are all small things in life, Jiang Xing is able to hold small things firmly in her hands, and will never let others down but will never let herself down.
Jiang Zao wiped the sweat from his head, grabbed the fan and fanned himself slowly: "The sun is burning my eyes, I'm going to draw the curtains and take a nap."
It was a close call, my elder sister almost saw it.
After wearing the necklace, her luck improved a lot.
"Third brother."
Jiang Xing turned her back to Jiang Zao and suddenly called her.
Jiang Zao hummed: "What's wrong, sister?"
Her tone was the same as usual, simple and innocent.
Jiang Xing's voice was lower than usual, a little cold: "You are marrying Xiao Shuisheng, what are you going to do with the betrothal gift he gave you?"
Jiang Xing was very worried. What was she worried about?
She and her fiancé Li Ming are worried.
Li Ming works in a winery and can make wine barrels and soy sauce barrels.
In addition to the 45 yuan monthly salary he usually earned at the brewery, he would be borrowed by the soy sauce team of the food factory during the holidays to help with barrel hooping and repairing barrels, earning a few cents more for each job, and an extra 30 to 50 yuan every year.
Thirty to fifty yuan is a monthly salary. The extra money you have over the year may seem like a small amount, but if you save it, it will be enough to cover your expenses for half a year.
Li Ming has two brothers. He has an older brother. His brother and sister-in-law have a job. Their child is four years old and is about to go to kindergarten.
Although Li Ming's parents are unemployed, they have just finished taking care of their eldest grandson. After Jiang Xing gets married and the two children are established, and they don't have to take care of the children themselves, Li Ming's employee level will definitely be promoted in two or three years. By then, the children will be born and the man will have been promoted, and he can bring Jiang Xing in as a family worker.
What is Jiang Xing worried about?
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to take away a single cent of the 50 yuan betrothal money that Li Ming bought me for the sewing machine.
Li Ming's family was better off than theirs. She was originally of inferior status, and the betrothal gifts were all left at her parents' home, so she couldn't hold her head up when she went there.
Jiang Zao is in the same situation as her, and Jiang Xing wants to hear Jiang Zao's thoughts.
Jiang Zao naturally couldn't say a word about what was in his heart. He said obediently and foolishly: "What can I do? I will definitely listen to my mother. I will do whatever she tells me to do."
Jiang Zao's answer was both within Jiang Xing's expectations and beyond her expectations: "Aren't you afraid that if you leave all the betrothal gifts at home, your in-laws will be unhappy?"
Jiang Zao: "I don't know."
Jiang Xing: “…”
Fool.
Among the four brothers and sisters, Jiang Zao is so stupid that he doesn't seem to be from the Jiang family.
Jiang Xing said: "Zao'er, the Xiao family has a high threshold. You should think more about yourself. You must be brave and fight for the betrothal gift with your mother. You can't let your mother withhold all your betrothal gifts, otherwise your marriage will be in jeopardy."
What Jiang Zao heard was: Zao'er, you want to be my gun. If you win the argument with mother, I won't have to argue anymore.
Jiang Zao pretended to be scared and said timidly: "Sister... I dare not say it."
Jiang Xing: Trash!
…
Three days later, the food factory posted a list of admitted employees, and three people were admitted, with Jiang Zao's name on the list.
"See? I got in on my own!"
Jiang Zao stood next to Xiao Shuisheng, raised his smooth chin, and was extremely proud.
She went to the research institute in the morning to ask Xiao Shuisheng if he was free and to take him somewhere.
Xiao Shuisheng usually doesn't ask for leave and rarely takes leave on holidays. When he asks for leave, it is quickly approved.
"Zao'er is really amazing."
He couldn't help but reach out and rub Jiang Zao's smooth hair.
The action was too intimate, Jiang Zao dodged as if he had been electrocuted: "You wait here for me, I'll report inside."
Seeing her running away shyly, Xiao Shuisheng clenched his fists and put them to his lips and chuckled.
Jiang Zao ran into the food factory and slowly slowed down his pace.
In the morning, Jiang Zao used the excuse that there was defective cloth to steal, so Liu Chunhua gave her the household registration booklet. She took the household registration booklet to report to the personnel department of the food factory.
Jiang Zao handed over the household registration booklet: "Hello, Section Chief, I am Jiang Zao."
Hearing the words "Jiang Zao", Zhang Jisheng, head of the Personnel Department, raised his head and smiled.
As the admitted candidate, Jiang Zao was the last one to arrive. When she was queuing, she saw that Section Chief Zhang Jisheng had a serious expression and thought he was difficult to get along with.
Zhang Jisheng was impressed by Jiang Zao: "You are very accurate in pinching the dough. More than half of the doughs you submitted were exactly 50 grams, and the rest were not much off. Master Sun specifically asked you to join the pastry class to learn pinching from him. If you work hard, you have a bright future."
Jiang Zao: "Master Sun?"
Zhang Jisheng had almost completed the factory entry procedures, stamped the red stamp, and said with a smile: "Master Sun is the master who interviewed you. He is the most qualified and capable master in our food factory. If you learn from him well, you will definitely achieve great things."
Even though this girl has no background and no one in the factory speaks for her, she is sure to achieve great things in the future because Master Sun has high hopes for her.
Zhang Jisheng was able to sit in the position of head of the personnel department because he had a unique vision for people and was thoughtful in his work. He did not look down on Jiang Zao just because she had no power or influence.
Jiang Zao has always known that she is very talented in cooking. She humbly thanked him: "Thank you, Section Chief Zhang, for your advice. I will definitely learn from Master Sun in the future."
After completing the formalities, Jiang Zao came out of the office and was about to leave when he heard a woman's scolding behind him.
"You're relying on your foxy face to flirt with women everywhere. Bah! Don't you feel ashamed?"
The food factory recruited three people, two women and one man, all around 20 years old.
The person who was speaking was another female comrade. She had a student-style haircut with thin bangs. She was pretty and dressed elegantly.
He almost looks down on people when he speaks.
