Chapter 105, Task 105
"Grandma Cai, where are they?" Zhao Xi asked casually when she saw that no one else was around.
Granny Cai smiled and squinted her eyes, "They've all gone to cut pig feed. The grass around here has been almost cut. They probably went a bit too far today."
"Oh." Zhao Xi nodded and introduced them to each other, "This is the new educated youth, Su Xiaoxiao. She will take over Wang Aizhen's work from now on. This is Granny Cai, Tianniu. You two should get along well."
"Grandma Cai, Sweetie, hello." Su Xiao bowed slightly and greeted them politely.
"Yes, Comrade Su."
"Grandma, just call me Xiaoxiao. Sweetie, here you go." Su Xiao took out a piece of fruit candy and handed it to Sweetie, who was hiding behind Granny Cai.
"No, no!" Sweetie waved her hands frantically, fear showing in her eyes.
Su Xiao was surprised; wasn't this little girl overreacting?
"Sweetie, don't be afraid." Granny Cai quickly hugged Sweetie, patting her back to comfort her, while explaining to Su Xiao, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao, Sweetie didn't mean it, she..."
Granny Cai spoke hesitantly, sounding somewhat embarrassed.
Zhao Xi sighed and explained, "This child suffered some trauma when she was little and is afraid of strangers. Xiao Xiao, you'll get used to it as you spend more time with her."
"It's alright, Grandma Cai, Secretary Zhao, I'll get along well with her from now on." Su Xiao didn't press for the reason, but gave her attitude, and she really didn't care.
Zhao Xi nodded with satisfaction, "I knew you were a good person. Come on, I'll take you to your workplace and tell you about your main tasks."
"Okay." Su Xiao squeezed the candy she hadn't been able to give away, smiled at Granny Cai and Tian Niu, and followed Zhao Xi away.
"Grandma, did Niu Niu get into trouble again?" Tian Niu raised her head, looking at Su Xiao's back, somewhat annoyed. "That lady wasn't angry."
Sweetie is simple-minded and perceptive of others' emotions towards her. Realizing that Su Xiao meant her no harm, she felt both happy and hopeful.
"It's alright, wait a bit, Tianniu, go help your sister with the chores, your sister will like you." Granny Cai sighed inwardly, but comforted her aloud. She could tell that Su Xiao was a good person, and she was willing to let Tianniu spend more time with her. Of course, she would be watching from the sidelines.
"Mmm." Sweetie nodded solemnly.
Over here, Su Xiao had already followed Zhao Xi around once. "Your job every day is to collect eggs and record the quantity. Every three days, the village accountant, Zhao, will bring people to collect a batch... This is the warehouse. Keep the key safe. From now on, this is your responsibility."
"Okay, Secretary Zhao, I promise to complete the task." Su Xiao took the keys and solemnly promised.
"Yes, do a good job." Zhao Xi nodded with satisfaction, seeing that she took his words to heart and was sincere in her attitude.
Actually, this job is quite important. We are also worried that some people who are greedy for small gains might lie about the quantity, so it is very important to select the right people.
Wang Aizhen was previously exposed for embezzlement.
Wang Aizhen is the daughter-in-law of the brigade leader, which has led to the brigade leader's authority being questioned by the villagers.
After that, the villagers argued endlessly about who should take over the job, giving him a terrible headache.
When he saw Su Xiaoxiao and the braised meat she took out yesterday, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.
She's the one. She's a sent-down youth from the city, highly educated, and clearly well-off. She won't care about these paltry sums.
