Over the next few days, Zhang Ruifeng practiced calligraphy, writing every word she might need at work several times to ensure it was neat and tidy, in preparation for the upcoming work.
After Xie Yun returned from militia training, she took the time to teach Xie Shen boxing and kicking. She also encouraged Zhang Ruifeng to practice with her. Over the past few days, Zhang Ruifeng has become more interested in practicing kung fu. After all, she will be going to the commune in the future, so she must equip herself with some martial arts skills.
A few days later, Xie Yun received a letter from Qin Fuhai.
The letter was delivered to the brigade headquarters by the postman, and at noon that day, the women's director Yan Guixiang personally delivered it to Xie Yun's home.
Zhang Ruifeng invited Yan Guixiang to drink some water and said with a smile, "Just shout through the loudspeaker and I'll go get it. Why would you make such a trip?"
Yan Guixiang smiled and said, "Save your energy. You and Binbin just worked all morning."
She is a part-time cadre. Although she also works in the fields to earn work points, she does not work as hard as Sister Zhang and Binbin, so her work is relatively relaxed.
Now that the basket-weaving work is finished, everyone is clearing the sloping land at the foot of the mountain, which is a very tiring job.
Zhang Ruifeng thanked her sincerely, "Guixiang, I can't say this enough no matter how many times I say it. It's a blessing for the women of Liushu Village to have a female cadre like you."
Yan Guixiang laughed, "Sister, I feel embarrassed by your praise."
Xie Yun joined in the fun while reading the letter, "Don't be embarrassed, you deserve such praise."
She knew that some women's directors of some brigades did not take responsibility and were more of a peacemaker, which was actually considered good. There were also a few who even acted as matchmakers, keen on introducing partners to single and widowed women, no matter if they were good or bad, as if as long as they had a man, their life would be complete.
Some men are lazy, cunning and treacherous, but they actually say, "That's because there is no woman at home. Once he gets married and has a wife and children, he will naturally become motivated."
Pooh!
Yan Guixiang smiled and said, "Since you praise me so much, I will have to work harder in the future."
Zhang Ruifeng smiled and said, "You're already very good. If you add the word 'even better' to your achievements, you'll be even more amazing. None of the women in our brigade have anything bad to say about you. Everyone who mentions you praises you! You're truly the one who rules the roost for us women."
Yan Guixiang said: "It is also because the women comrades in our brigade are very outstanding and everyone supports my work that I can achieve this."
Zhang Ruifeng gave a thumbs-up. "You're absolutely right. Look at our brigade. From Aunt Zhou to Sister Hua Qing, and then to you, there are people like Qingli and Qinghong. Our Binbin and your Hongxia are all amazing too! The women in our brigade are amazing!"
After Xie Yun finished reading the letter, he jumped up happily and said, "Mom, this is great news. We have jobs now."
Zhang Ruifeng exclaimed in surprise: "Really?!"
Xie Yun's joy was a bit of acting, but Zhang Ruifeng's surprise was very real. Even though she had known about this matter for a long time, her joy did not diminish at all when it came true.
Yan Guixiang was also very surprised and urged, "Tell me quickly."
Oh, they are going to have a female worker here, this is definitely a good thing!
The key point is that as workers, the Xie family's life will be much better, and she is sincerely happy for the mother and her two children.
Xie Yun repeated the speech he and Qin Fuhai had discussed. "I thought he was just saying he would praise me, but I didn't expect the Grain Bureau to reward me with a job opportunity. Mom, you go! I can be a teacher next year, and this job is suitable for you."
Yan Guixiang clapped her hands and said, "Binbin is right. Sister, you have finally achieved your goal after all the hard work! It is thanks to your good education that your child has excellent grades and good moral character, which is why he has such an opportunity. You have been both a father and a mother for so many years, and your hard work has not been in vain."
Zhang Ruifeng's eyes turned red as she said, "It's the child's own hard work. She's a good child and I feel sorry for her as her mother."
Yan Guixiang smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for? We have to get this done without delay. Complete the employment procedures, and then transfer your household registration and grain and oil relations. From now on, you will eat commercial grain, and you will be able to have a good harvest regardless of drought or flood. You two can rest assured. You don't have to go to work this afternoon. I'll go tell your team leader, and you two can go and get busy."
"Well, thank you for your help."
"No trouble, no trouble. You guys can eat. I'm leaving first."
Yan Guixiang was in a hurry and left as soon as she finished speaking.
Xie Yun, Zhang Ruifeng and others came back from "hunting" with Xie Shen and told him about this. Xie Shen was so happy that he lost his mind and didn't even look at the road when he walked. He almost tripped over the threshold before he calmed down.
"Mom, sister, you two go after dinner. I'll clear the table and wash the dishes, then lock the door and go to school. You don't have to worry about it."
Zhang Ruifeng smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Xie Shen patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."
After lunch, Xie Yun and Zhang Ruifeng went straight to the commune grain station.
The grain office, whose full name is the Grain and Oil Management Office, is responsible for collecting public grain and the unified purchase and sale of grain and oil for the entire commune.
The grain station has a grain and oil supply point under it, which is dedicated to supplying grain and oil to people in the commune who eat commercial grain. Taoyuan Commune also has many workers and cadres who have a quota of supply every month. They go to the supply point with grain and oil supply certificates to purchase the corresponding supplies.
In addition, there are some members who do not have enough food at home and need to exchange fine grains for coarse grains, or some people want to exchange coarse grains for fine grains. They can all go to the supply point to exchange.
Some people can even sell their leftover food to grain stores.
Zhang Ruifeng's job was called grain payer, which was essentially the same as a salesperson.
