Chapter 253 Willing to be Second
Ning Xiyue's eyes fell on the registration form handed over by Mayor Huang, and she kept thinking in her mind.
What does Mayor Huang mean by this? Is that what she meant?
But this position is recruiting two warehouse managers, so the opportunity is already great.
Not to mention anything else, with her second brother's ability, it would be easy for him to successfully apply for this position and there is great hope.
The competition for jobs in the countryside would not be too fierce, and only people from their two teams would compete. And only the educated youth from two teams could meet the requirements and had the greatest hope.
Isn't there any need to do this?
Are you afraid that some shady dealings will affect your second brother?
Well, that's for sure. In a society where relationships are important, if there is some inside information, no matter how capable my second brother is, it will be useless.
But it’s different with the mayor in charge. They can be considered as people with backing, and those in charge of this work will think twice before doing anything, which can ensure that the recruitment work is carried out fairly and justly.
She knew that Mayor Huang was a fair man and would not do anything for them. At most he would just take care of them.
Oh, this is the bad thing about dealing with leaders. You always have to guess the deeper meaning behind everything they do. It's tiring.
Forget it, she decided not to guess anymore. No matter how much she guessed, she still couldn't figure it out. She just continued watching, listening, and eating.
Ning Qingyuan, who was standing next to him, took the registration form and looked at the contents, then said with a smile:
"Brother Huang, I'm going to come to town the day after tomorrow to see if the letter from home has arrived. You can fill out this form and take it back later. You're busy with work, so I won't bother you with such a small matter. I also want to go to the commune that day to feel the atmosphere on site. Don't worry about me, just let me do what I want."
Ning Xiyue was surprised. It was just a small matter, but she didn't expect her second brother to refuse it so decisively.
But these are indeed the words that the second brother can say and the things he can do. The second brother is a sincere person. He is unwilling to take advantage of others, nor does he want to be treated specially. He is a principled person.
She supports her second brother in whatever he does.
Mayor Huang was quite surprised. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Ning Qingyuan with a more and more satisfied look. He smiled happily and said:
"Okay, then you go and hand it in by yourself. You can go back and prepare in advance. The day after tomorrow, after you hand in the form, remember to come to my house for dinner with Xiyue and visit Taotao. I'm afraid the child will miss you. You must come to visit him often in the future."
"Okay, thank you Brother Huang. I'll come and play with Taotao then." Ning Qingyuan nodded and put the registration form into his bag.
"Brother Huang, don't worry. We will come to see Taotao whenever we come to town." Ning Xiyue looked at Taotao who was eating and said softly, "Taotao, don't forget us."
"I will never forget my brothers and sisters." Taotao swallowed the food in his mouth and said in a loud voice.
This caused laughter from everyone at the table.
Ning Xiyue laughed heartily. She and her second brother called Taotao's parents brother and sister, but Taotao insisted on calling them brother and sister. The generations were so confusing that there was nothing they could do but to call them what they were.
Sister Li laughed and greeted everyone:
"Okay, okay, let's talk after dinner. Now let's eat quickly. The food is getting cold. Let's sit aside and do other things slowly after we are full."
"Yes, let's eat, don't be polite, treat it as your own home and eat as you like." Mayor Huang picked up the chopsticks and echoed Sister Li, saying, "You must try the braised fish in the middle. It's Sister Li's specialty and it tastes amazing."
"Okay, then we won't be polite." Ning Xiyue smiled and picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks to eat.
With Ning Xiyue taking the lead, Ning Qingyuan and Comrade Li began to pick up their chopsticks to eat. Everyone at the table finally started to eat seriously and stopped talking about anything else.
After dinner, Ning Xiyue and her brother played with Taotao for a while and only stopped when they were tired.
Before leaving, Ning Xiyue told Sister Li and Mayor Huang about some precautions regarding Taotao's health.
Although it has healed, it takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. Your hands and feet are very fragile when they are just healed. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause other injuries. So you can't be careless and have to continue applying the medicine to consolidate the healing.
Sister Li was taking notes in a notebook. Taotao stood beside Ning Xiyue, holding her trouser leg. After Ning Xiyue gave her instructions, she lowered her head and said goodbye to Taotao. The child was reluctant to leave and would not let her go.
Ning Xiyue touched his head and coaxed him: "Taotao, sister will come to see you the day after tomorrow, don't worry, sister will come to see you often in the future."
Taotao gripped his trouser legs even tighter and shook his head pitifully.
"Taotao, come here. You are a big kid now. You have to be obedient. Only when you are an obedient child will Sister Xiyue come to see you." Sister Li looked at Taotao with a fierce face.
Taotao slowly let go of her hand, and walked towards Sister Li in small steps, looking back every few steps.
He looked at Ning Xiyue, then at Ning Qingyuan, and said obediently, "Taotao is waiting for you."
Ning Xiyue waved her hand: "Okay, goodbye Taotao, when you miss us, just look at the little bear and the little cat."
"Goodbye Taotao, Brother Huang and Sister Li, we're leaving. See you the day after tomorrow." Ning Qingyuan pushed his bicycle over and greeted them.
"See you later."
Mayor Huang and his wife saw the guests off to the gate and said goodbye to each other.
Ning Xiyue and her sister rode their beloved bicycles back to the Youth League Home in Dalui Team.
After returning to the Youth League Home, Ning Xiyue pulled her second brother into the kitchen, and the two of them sat down to discuss the work.
Ning Qingyuan took out the registration form from his bag and took out a pen to fill it out.
"Sister, do you think I'm stupid for refusing Mayor Huang's help?"
"How could that be? You did the right thing. I support whatever my second brother does. You are my role model."
Ning Xiyue shook her head and said proudly:
"With my second brother's ability, it won't take long for him to be hired for this position. We are fair and just and we win by our own ability. These are all small matters. Don't worry about them. Just prepare well and do your best."
This was not a big deal in the first place. Seeing that Mayor Huang was smiling happily at that time, it was obvious that he recognized the second brother as a friend even more. Long-term friendships cannot be based on character. This is a good thing.
A friend with a good family background and ability is worth more than the small profits in front of you.
Ning Qingyuan was happy. After being praised by his sister, his self-confidence was boosted. He said with a beaming face:
"Well, I believe I can do it. Among the educated youth sent to the countryside, no one has read more books than me. I read and study every day, and I remember the knowledge I learned in junior high and high school very well."
"I believe my second brother can do it, but when it comes to reading more books, I'm second to none, hahaha."
Ning Xiyue held her neck high and spoke in self-praise without any modesty, and she couldn't help laughing after she finished speaking.
Ning Qingyuan laughed along with him: "You're right, I'm willing to admit second place."
"But you still need to go back and prepare well. The educated youth in our team are all studious people." Although Ning Xiyue had great confidence in her second brother, she still couldn't help but remind him.
They have the male and female protagonists in their team, and these two should not be underestimated.
"Okay, I'll start reading and studying when I get back, and try my best to compete for this position."
Ning Qingyuan also felt a sense of crisis. He quickly filled out the form in his hand and hurriedly pushed his bicycle to the Dahuai team.
