After hearing this, Zhang Chunxue's heart skipped a beat and she knew what Song Xingzhi was talking about.
Zhou Mingli, who was sitting nearby, suddenly lit up her dim eyes when she heard this. "Clerk Song, are you saying... there's work?"
Her voice was trembling.
Song Xingzhi nodded, his expression gentle. "Well, I asked around. The hospital in town is hiring for a cleaner position. They've already hired someone for the night shift, but they're still shortlisted for the day shift. The working hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.."
Song Xingzhi explained carefully: "The work isn't that hard. It mainly involves cleaning every corner of the hospital and keeping it tidy."
"They provide one meal at noon. Also, I've heard that if you do a good job and become familiar with the hospital environment and work, you can consider becoming a nurse. The salary for a nurse is much higher than that of a cleaner!"
Zhou Mingli was so delighted when she heard this that all the wrinkles on her face opened up with a smile.
"Oh! Secretary Song! This... this is so great!"
She was so excited that she didn't know where to put her hands and kept rubbing them.
"I'm willing! I'm willing to do it!" Zhou Mingli's eyes were a little red, and her voice was choked with sobs: "I know, I'm just a country girl who can't do anything. I can't read a single word. It's a great blessing to have a place like this!"
"These days, even sweeping the streets or cleaning toilets is a scramble to get a job, not to mention working in a hospital!"
"It's not like farming in the village, where you work hard all year round, facing the earth and back to the sky. The few work points you get at the end of the year aren't even enough to buy a few kilograms of salt!"
"If I could get a steady salary every month, it would really be... a lifesaver!"
Seeing Zhou Mingli so excited and not showing any dislike for the poor job, Song Xingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that in today's world, finding a satisfactory job for a rural woman with no skills in a short period of time was harder than climbing to the sky.
It’s a good thing to have a place to stay.
Seeing Zhou Mingli so excited that she was about to cry, Zhang Chunxue felt a lot more relieved.
Finally, I have put my mind at ease.
She quickly turned around and faced Song Xingzhi with a smile that was even more sincere than before.
"Clerk Song, this...thank you so much!"
"If it weren't for your help, I don't know when Mingli would have found a job!"
As she spoke, she hurried inside: "Come on, Secretary Song, come in and sit down, come in and sit down! I'll go get you a glass of water!"
Zhang Chunxue specially took out a clean enamel pot from the cabinet and poured boiling water from the thermos.
She pinched a handful of tea leaves from a small iron box and put them in.
This is the good tea that she usually doesn't even want to drink.
"Clerk Song, please have some tea."
She handed over the teacup carefully. It was steaming hot and had a faint aroma of tea.
Song Xingzhi took it, but did not drink it immediately.
He just looked at Zhang Chunxue with a smile, his eyes were gentle, but it seemed as if he could see through people's hearts.
Zhang Chunxue felt a little uneasy when he looked at her, and her face became a little hot involuntarily.
"Ahem... Secretary Song, why... why are you looking at me?" She shifted her gaze away uncomfortably, fearing that Zhou Mingli, who was still immersed in joy next to her, would notice something.
The smile on Song Xingzhi's lips deepened, but he didn't say anything.
Fortunately, Zhou Mingli was so focused on her job at the town hospital that she didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between Zhang Chunxue and Song Xingzhi at all.
At this moment, the door curtain of the main room was suddenly opened with a "rustle".
Zhong Xiaoxiao rushed in like a gust of wind, with a look of panic on her face.
"Mom! Song... Clerk Song!"
She was panting, her eyes rolling around on Song Xingzhi and Zhang Chunxue's faces.
Zhong Xiaoxiao was just playing outside when she heard her neighbor's aunt say that Clerk Song was coming to her house.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her first reaction was - it's bad!
It must be those gossipy women we met last time, who came to gossip in front of Secretary Song and report her!
Look, Secretary Song must be here to find her and ask for punishment!
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she ran back in two steps at a time.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard her mother Zhang Chunxue thanking Song Xingzhi with a smile on her face.
"...Thank you so much! Without your help, Mingli's work..."
Zhong Xiaoxiao had sharp ears and understood it immediately.
Oh, it turns out that Secretary Song was helping my second sister-in-law Zhou Mingli find a job!
Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly fell back into her stomach, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
No longer panicking, Zhong Xiaoxiao's cleverness came back to life.
Her eyes rolled and she immediately put on a sweet smile and walked a few steps towards Song Xingzhi.
"Clerk Song, you're here! I knew you must be here for my second sister-in-law's work!"
"My mom is so nice! She talks about my second sister-in-law every day, because she's afraid she'll get sick from staying at home."
"Look, as soon as my mom heard you could help, she was more interested than anyone else!"
As Zhong Xiaoxiao spoke, she secretly glanced at Song Xingzhi's reaction.
"And me! My mom is so good to me. She never lets me do heavy work and always gives me first priority when it comes to delicious food!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chunxue's face turned red.
