Song Jiayu... Chef Xu seized this opportunity and immediately said, "I'll buy this job. I'll buy it at the market price. Is two hundred yuan enough?"
These days, the average cost of buying a formal job is about two hundred yuan.
Song Jiayu nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, when Chef Xu gives me the money, I'll take your daughter to the store manager to get the job done."
"Just wait, I'll come here tomorrow with both the person and the money."
After the two of them finished talking, Song Jiayu left the state-owned restaurant. She had relied on Chef Xu's relationship to qualify for the chef position, and today she had returned the favor.
As expected, Chef Xu came with his daughter and some money. After handing over the money, Song Jiayu took people to the store manager to handle the replacement job, which was considered a one-stop delivery.
When the label of Chef Xiao Song was no longer on her, Song Jiayu stood at the gate of the state-owned restaurant, stared for a few seconds, smiled, and turned to leave.
On the last night before leaving, we had dinner at Lao Jiang's house.
Jiang's mother brought her two daughters-in-law to prepare a meal with both meat and vegetables. Jiang's eldest and second sisters-in-law rarely said anything sarcastic. Even Jiang's eldest and second brothers had relieved expressions on their faces, and they seemed to have put aside their grudges with their third brother Jiang Baizhou.
Only Jiang's mother and father kept picking up food for the two of them and their two beloved grandchildren.
Jiang's mother: "Come, eat more. Our An'an and Ningning went to Beilin City, so they also need to eat more so that they can grow taller and have a healthy body..."
Father Jiang: "Grandpa's two good grandchildren, if you are bullied by your parents when you go to Beilin City, remember to write to Grandpa and I will teach them a lesson."
Jiang's mother: "You two, it's a good thing your in-laws are going with you this time, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to let you take An An and Ning Ning away."
Father Jiang: "Yes, An'an and Ningning are still young. You two should not be too cruel when educating them."
“…”
I originally thought that it would be Ci Ai nagging to the couple who were going on a long journey to Beilin City, but I didn't know that Ci Ai was talking to the two little kids and the nagging was talking to them both.
Jiang Baizhou and Song Jiayu could only put on a smile and respond to what the two elders said.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart: It’s too difficult!!!
This day we went to Beilin City.
Early in the morning, a small four-wheeled truck was parked at the gate of Compound No. 14.
It was Jiang's father who was driving, and all the members of the Jiang family came to help. They went back and forth several times, putting all the belongings that had been packed for several days into the truck.
"It's so empty~" Jiang Youning said, pointing at his home.
"Silly sister~ We are moving~" Jiang Yan'an said.
"Stupid brother~ I know we have to move~ Humph~" Jiang Youning's chubby little hands were on his non-existent waist, his little face was puffed up, and he stared at his brother with big eyes.
Jiang Yanan made the same move as his sister, and the two little kids started their daily quarrel.
"You are the stupid sister~"
"You're an idiot brother~"
“…”
After the argument, neither of them won, but later they got on the truck and started to reconcile as before, sitting together and talking in low voices.
The family said goodbye to Jiang's mother and others, and the truck started and went to Lushan Village first. They hurried to pick up Song's father and mother and others, and moved the packed luggage into the car.
It only takes one hour to get to Beilin City from Songshan County by train.
It only takes an hour and a half to drive the truck to Beilin City. With the two little ones there, it is not boring at all. Zhao Qiuqin and Song Deming dote on the children very much and always respond to their requests. The car is filled with the children's cheerful laughter and the adults' chatting with them.
Beilin City appears to be much more developed than Songshan County.
There are no modern skyscrapers like those of later generations, but there are still many large buildings in this era.
For example, in the three-story department store, the stationery counter near the door has a wide variety of goods. You can see pencils, knives, pencil cases, etc. at a glance.
The place they were going to was Tianshui Lane in Beilin City, near the military factory area.
There are large courtyards where dignitaries once lived, and there is also an entire street of small courtyards with independent doors and windows.
Today, a small truck drove into Tianshui Lane, which aroused the curiosity of the people living in the lane.
A woman in a navy blue coat, carrying a vegetable basket, asked, "Where did this come from? Why are there people in Tianshui Lane again?"
A man next to the old lady, wearing a gray-white coat, said, "I know. The yard at No. 18 on Tenth Street has been cleaned up. I guess that's where he lives."
"A separate yard, what is it used for?"
"Then I don't know. But once they settle down, we can find out by asking around."
…
Song Jiayu and the others who were being talked about were getting off the truck, and their eyes were all fixed on the two-story building with a private entrance in front of them.
Lin Xue, whom I haven't seen for a long time, is now standing at the gate of the courtyard. She has a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and a smile on her face. It seems that her life back in Beilin City is very good.
"Jiayu!"
"Lin Xue!"
The two of them excitedly walked up to each other and hugged each other.
"I knew you were coming, so I took over the task of receiving you from my mother. This small courtyard is at Room 18, Tenth Street, Tianshui Lane. I'll take you in to have a look." Lin Xue said.
Song Jiayu did not refuse her friend's kindness and nodded. The two of them pushed open the gate of the courtyard and went in.
The first thing that caught my eye was the two-story house. The structures of the upper and lower floors were different. There was only one main door on the first floor. Through the windows on the left and right sides, I could tell that the house layout was probably that the main door corresponded to the living room, and the bedrooms were on the left and right sides, similar to the one in Yard No. 14. There were two rooms on the second floor, plus a balcony of about 15 square meters.
There is a kitchen on the left side of the courtyard, with a small pool next to it. There is a shed on the right side. Because there is nothing inside, the space under the shed looks very empty.
Apart from these, there is only four or five square meters of open space left in the middle of the yard.
"Oh~ I was wondering at first what I would do to wash and dry clothes in the future, but I didn't expect there was a place upstairs." Zhao Qiuqin felt pretty good. Although it was not as big as the yard in the village, it was a two-story building with everything she needed for her family to live in. It was her first time living there.
"If we want to grow vegetables, we can use pots to plant them in a circle upstairs." Song Demin said.
"You're finally smart for once." Zhao Qiuqin recognized Lao Song once.
This made Comrade Song Demin hold his head high and straight for a long time.
When they opened the room, there was no cobwebs, not even a speck of dust. Song Jiayu asked, "Which snail girl helped me?"
Lin Xue's face was slightly pink as she said, "I thought about your coming, so my family and I cleaned the house three days in advance."
Even Lin's mother wanted to take charge of it herself and buy some furniture for this empty room.
After being rejected by Lin Xue, if he really bought furniture, it would be too enthusiastic, not to mention whether Jiayu could get used to living there. Although Jiayu would not misunderstand any ulterior motives, it would not be good to scare her and make it difficult to communicate with her in the future.
