A few days later.

Mrs. Wang, the women's director of the Women's Federation, came to the door.

After she sat down, she took Shen Man's hand and patted it gently, "Xiao Shen, I heard that you graduated from high school. I happen to have a few jobs. Take a look. Which one do you want?"

In fact, there are not many positions available for family members in the army. If the requirements are too high, most family members will not meet the requirements; if the requirements are too low, there will not be enough positions for so many family members in the compound.

However, there are only a few people in the family with high school education, and these are the positions that have been arranged better.

Shen Man blinked, "Sister-in-law, what are the positions?"

Sister Wang took out a workbook and pointed it to Shen Man. "There is a position for a primary school teacher in our army, teaching mathematics, and there is also a position for a clerk in the Women's Federation. If you come to the Women's Federation, you can come with me."

"In addition to these two positions, there is also a clerk position in the human resources department of a clothing factory, but the clothing factory is in the town, which is quite far from here. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth every day."

"In terms of salary and benefits, it's about the same as the first two jobs. After all, I'd rather choose the first two."

That clothing factory was built by the army itself in order to provide jobs for their families. Most of the people working there were wives of military personnel with low education, and the factory director was also a retired soldier from the army.

Shen Man thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll choose the position of elementary school teacher."

When the work was mentioned last night, Gu Qinglin told her about it, and he heard the result.

Although working at the Women's Federation paid a few more dollars than the other two jobs, she had to mediate all the trivial matters that occurred in the family compound, and sometimes it was really tiring.

As for the clothing factory, it is indeed a bit far away, and it is not convenient to run back and forth every day.

When Mrs. Wang heard that Shen Man chose the job at the school, a hint of regret flashed across her eyes. But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the school did need people with higher education.

"Okay, you wait at home for a few days, and your sister-in-law will help you secure this position."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"No problem, thanks."

Mrs. Wang changed the subject and said, "However, if you go to school, you will meet Teacher Chen, the family member of Deputy Head Liu. You'd better not have too much contact with her."

"She is the daughter of a capitalist family, and her social status is not good. If she hadn't married Liu Qingsheng, she would have been demoted long ago."

"Even though she has married into the military, she still can't change her capitalist nature."

"You may not know it when you first arrived, but Teacher Chen loves to dress up. She would wear a pair of blouses and high-end leather shoes bought from a foreign exchange store without blinking an eye. She would change into a new set of shoes every few months."

"I heard that her family has overseas background and her husband married her. It is estimated that he will only be able to get this position in his lifetime and will have to retire and leave the army in a few years."

Shen Man nodded, "Sister-in-law, I understand."

Once this kind of person behaves like a capitalist, he or she may die. Some people may have their property confiscated and be exiled to the countryside. Even those with less serious consequences will still be criticized.

It seems that I am not very qualified in the future.

But her identity is actually quite good. Her father was a martyr who died in battle, her mother was a worker in the supply and marketing cooperative, and her husband is a soldier. Because of these identities, most people would not throw such dirty water on her.

…

In the evening, Shen Man had just finished cooking in the kitchen when Gu Qinglin came back.

She told him about her work.

Gu Qinglin also thinks that being a teacher is pretty good. It is close to home and it will be convenient for commuting to get off work in the future. The work is relatively easy compared to other jobs.

"By the way, I plan to book a train ticket for next weekend and take you back to Beijing."

"What do you think?"

Shen Man shook her head. "I'm fine."

When they got married, the parents-in-law not only gave them money, but also bought a house for them in Beijing. I heard that the location and area were good, and the interior had already been renovated.

As long as they come back, they can check in directly.

Since she and Gu Qinglin have been together, her mother has had more contact with her in-laws.

The two families had a good relationship in the past, and now they have this kind of relationship. She is not nervous at all, but rather looks forward to it.

Gu Qinglin's eyes fell on Shen Man's face, and his eyes paused. "My parents only have me as their son, but there are still many people in the family. My grandfather has several children, so there are many brothers and sisters in the family."

"But don't worry, most of them are easy to get along with. There are so many people that sometimes there are a few who say or do things that are unpleasant, but it doesn't matter. We're only going back for a few days, and it has nothing to do with those people."

Shen Man smiled and said, "Okay, if someone bullies me, you have to stand behind me and support me."

"I can't stand being wronged. If you dare to let me be wronged, I will never talk to you again."

It may seem like she's just joking and being a little coquettish, but in fact, these are her bottom line.

She had said this before she got married.

She doesn't like to be wronged after marriage, if he can't do that, then don't marry her.

Gu Qinglin also remembered this. He chuckled, his eyes gentle, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

…

A few days later, Shen Man's job was completely confirmed, and she had half a month's vacation before officially starting work.

Gu Qinglin bought the train tickets, and the two of them packed their things and went directly to the train station and boarded the train to Beijing.

From here to Beijing, you have to change trains several times, and it takes about four days to get there.

the other side.

Hong Huizhu could never find an opportunity to be alone with Lu Zhengguo. Even though she had been in the army for so long, she had only seen him a few times, let alone cultivate any feelings.

Mother Lu was also extremely anxious. Her youngest son had become estranged from his family because of what happened recently, but when he saw his biological mother, he didn't even call for help.

After a moment's thought, she suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Huizhu, don't worry. Auntie has thought of a good idea. Zhengguo is a responsible man. Although he is not kind to you now, as long as you have skin-to-skin contact with him, he will definitely be responsible for you."

Hong Huizhu bit her lip and said, "Auntie, what if...what if Zhengguo still doesn't want to?"

Besides, he was a soldier and was very alert. As a woman, how could she get close to him, let alone have skin contact with him?

Mother Lu waved her hands and said, "This is easy to handle. Shen Man used the same trick to marry Zheng Guo. Although it's an old trick, it's good. If you take advantage of the opportunity to get pregnant with Zheng Guo's child, it will be even easier to handle."

"Given his personality, he will definitely not ignore you and the child."
