Chapter 86 Buying a Job
Bai Jing really didn't expect that her father had this skill. But when she thought about the bamboo work her father did in her previous life, she felt it was natural.
"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow."
Bai Jing had an idea in mind and also thought about some future development matters.
"Um."
After dinner, Bai Quanfu took a shower and went to the hospital again.
Now all the matters of taking care of Luo Chunhua in the hospital are handed over to him. Bai Jing only needs to take care of his younger siblings and help them arrange schools.
On the second day, Bai Jing did not go to find Zhang Cuicui first, but took her younger brother and sister-in-law to her second uncle's house.
"Xiao Jing is here, come in quickly." This yard has become the home of the second uncle and the third uncle. Their figures can be seen from the yard. After all, everyone has a different way of collecting, so you can recognize who is who at a glance.
As soon as she entered the yard, Bai Jing noticed something was wrong. "Second Aunt, you didn't fire together."
She really hadn't thought of this.
Second Aunt Bai smiled and said, "It's inconvenient to fire together." What she didn't say was that her family was not well off, and she couldn't always take advantage of her uncle and brother's wife.
So, it’s better to eat them separately.
Besides, the kitchen is big enough and we have all the utensils with us, so there is no need to worry about going hungry.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jing stopped asking questions, smiled, and followed her second aunt into the living room.
The living room is connected, and two rooms on each side are used as bedrooms. The room at the back is also divided into two parts. It’s pretty good.
Third Aunt also came out of the room. Seeing Xiao Jing, she immediately greeted her with a smile, "Hey, you all are here. Let's eat here today. Third Aunt will make you something delicious."
Since coming to the town, Third Aunt has transformed into a completely different person, looking so energetic.
This made Second Aunt very envious, but she herself had also changed a lot, but she didn't notice it.
It was just lunch, so Bai Jing wouldn't be polite with the aunts. "Okay."
Hearing Xiao Jing's agreement, the second and third aunts were very happy, "I have a piece of bacon over there, stewed it for lunch."
Auntie San was more direct. "No problem. I have some Fengchui Chicken here. Let's have a good meal at noon today."
Bai Jing was also very happy that her two aunts had not changed.
She came here today to discuss something important.
After sending the children away, Bai Jing began to talk about her job exam yesterday.
"Aunt San, it's not that I'm partial. Uncle San has a job, but Uncle Er's family doesn't have one yet, so I thought of giving the job to Aunt Er first. I'll take the job when there's a job recruitment exam, and then I'll give it to Aunt San."
Li Zhaodi was not an ungrateful person. "Look at what you said, you are right. Let's focus on your second uncle's family first. I have your third uncle at home. There is no rush for work at my family."
She naturally knew that her second sister-in-law's family needed a job more. In the past two days, she heard her second sister-in-law sighing a lot.
"But Xiaojing, if you sell your job to your second aunt, what will happen to your family?" You know, my eldest brother is also unemployed now.
She knew Xiaojing meant well, but she was also worried about her eldest brother's family.
Second Aunt was getting excited, but when she heard what her sister-in-law asked Xiao Jing, her boiling heart was completely chilled.
She also thought about this. Her eldest brother's family didn't have a job in the town. If she took Xiaojing's job, would she still be a human being?
"That's right, Xiaojing, either you ask your father to go, or you go by yourself. Second Aunt is not in a hurry. Your Second Uncle has been out to inquire about the news recently."
No matter how anxious she was, she couldn't take Xiaojing's job away from her child.
Seeing that the two of them were truly concerned about her family, Bai Jing felt more and more that her relatives were good people.
Although it is different from the previous life, everyone's starting point has changed this time, so naturally they are more considerate of each other.
"My mother has a job, and I'm still young. I can't handle the hardship of baking." Bai Jing laughed and joked, "That's why I came to see Second Aunt. After all, it would be a waste if I couldn't get a job."
"What?" Second and third aunts were shocked.
Because they didn't expect that the eldest sister-in-law actually had a job. "When did your mother find a job? Isn't your mother always in the hospital?"
"Yes, your mother is in the hospital. How can you come to work? Xiaojing, you can't lie to us."
Bai Jing shook her head. Some things could not be hidden, so she told them about the last time that Mrs. Bai knocked her unconscious.
After hearing this, the two started yelling and cursing at Bai Po again.
"Okay, it's all over. I've made a contribution. This work is a reward given to me by the Public Security Bureau, and the same goes for my house." Bai Jing patted the two aunts to calm them down. After all, scolding people is a tiring job.
"Alas, I'm sorry for you, Xiaojing. You must lock the door properly next time. You were lucky last time. You managed to get out of such a deep mountain. What if you couldn't escape?"
"That's right, your Third Aunt is right. We must all be more vigilant from now on."
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll be more careful next time."
After the deal was settled and the job was also finalized, it was sold to Second Aunt.
After lunch, Bai Jing took her younger brother and sister-in-law and left her two uncles’ homes. She was going to see Zhang Cuicui.
You can't just live off your savings, you have to make money.
After instructing her younger brother and sister-in-law, Bai Jing went out, carrying some snacks that she had taken out from the system space. There weren't many things, but in this day and age, it could be considered a gift.
I knocked on the Zhang family's door, and it was Zhang Cuicui who opened it. "Bai Jing, you're here. Come in and sit down."
No one in the family is at home today, leaving her alone. Remembering what Bai Jing said yesterday, she asked her second brother to find out as soon as she came back. After getting the news, she has been waiting at home.
I wanted to go to the Bai family to look for someone, but unfortunately, the gate was closed. The door was closed from the outside, so I guess the owner was not at home.
She had no choice but to go home and wait.
Finally, the person I was waiting for came.
"Come on, but what are you bringing? You can take it back yourself later. We don't accept this kind of thing." He made way for the person and invited him into the house.
The Zhang family's house is a bungalow, and there are other people living around them, so Bai Jing was also seen when she visited.
A few aunts and ladies gathered together and started chirping crickets.
"Whose girl is that? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"I haven't seen her either. Could she be the girlfriend of the second son of the Zhang family?"
"Impossible, the second son of the Zhang family doesn't have a partner like this. Have you forgotten that the Zhang family and the Mu family had a childhood marriage? The eldest son of the Zhang family was too old and couldn't match up, so now it's the second son of the Zhang family's turn."
"You're right, it happened. The girl from the Mu family is very powerful and taller than this girl. There's no way it could be a girl from the Mu family."
"You said..."
Bai Jing and Zhang Cuicui couldn't hear what was said outside, so they sat down and talked about business.
"I've asked about jobs for you. No one's looking for a job at the steel mill. Even if there is one, it's not a good place to go. You might as well find something else. However, there are people who are looking to transfer to the lumber mill, but the salary might not be that high."
Bai Jing became interested when she heard this. "Tell me what's going on."
Zhang Cuicui told Bai Jing the whole story, and Bai Jing understood it.
Isn’t this the same as my third uncle? The experienced worker becomes an apprentice, which is acceptable.
It’s okay to eat according to your ability.
She believed in her father and two uncles, and they would definitely achieve success in their studies.
"That means two jobs in the lumber mill, one as a carpenter and one as a painter, right? I want both."
Bai Jing was so generous that she asked for two jobs directly.
Her generosity also frightened Zhang Cuicui, "They're not cheap. Are you sure you want both?"
Bai Jing nodded, "Yes, I want both jobs at the lumber mill."
It’s a good thing that the three brothers work together.
It’s not too far from home, just get up early and take a walk.
At worst, I can just buy a bicycle when I have money. My family can afford it.
"Okay, I'll pass a message to someone later. We'll go to the timber factory tomorrow to handle the handover directly."
The people on Zhang Cuicui's side have stable jobs and won't change their minds, it's just a matter of sooner or later.
"That's fine." Bai Jing took out a red envelope from the cloth bag, "This is your hard work fee, don't delay." After all, they have only known each other for a short time, so it's better to be polite.
Zhang Cuicui was unwilling to take her money. "No, no, I can't accept this money. You take it back."
"I told you not to postpone it, why are you still like this? If you don't accept it, I won't play with you anymore in the future." The little girl has the thoughts of a little girl. Although Bai Jing has a big soul, who doesn't want to live a heartless life?
When Zhang Cuicui heard that he didn't want to play with her, she didn't dare to push the red envelope out of her hand.
"But, but this is too much." She saw the big unity wrapped in red paper.
Usually, even if someone wants to thank someone, they just buy something, unlike Bai Jing, who gives money directly.
"It's not much, just one. Don't bother with my coat. I have something else I want to ask you."
When she heard that she had something to ask her, Zhang Cuicui immediately changed her attitude and said, "You tell me, I will definitely help you if I can."
So Bai Jing asked about the job examination.
After hearing this, Zhang Cuicui smiled and said, "When I first saw you, I felt that you were like me, someone who could endure hardship and was capable."
After hearing this, Bai Jing really didn't know whether she was praising her or herself.
"Although it's a bit speculative, we got the job based on our real abilities. It's up to us to decide whether to sell it or keep it."
Zhang Cuicui began to brainwash Bai Jing. Naturally, her brainwashing was unsuccessful. Bai Jing just asked that question because she wanted to know whether she was working alone or had someone helping her.
But judging from the matter of buying a job, there must be someone behind her.
What Bai Jing didn't expect was that the person behind her would be her second brother.
As she was talking, Zhang Cuicui realized that she had let something slip. "Well, don't tell anyone. If my second brother knew about this, he would definitely beat me to death."
Seeing her frightened expression, Bai Jing couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I won't tell anyone. But this idea is indeed good. Unfortunately, there are only a few places in our town that are hiring."
If the recruitment can be continued for a long time, it is indeed a good job. At least the money can be earned easily.
"That's nothing. We don't have it in our town, but other towns do. We're not far from the surrounding towns, and even the city is only a few hours away by train."
Zhang Cuicui looked indifferent.
This really scared Bai Jing.
"｜You mean your brother and the others can still find out the news in the city?" If I could get a job in the city, that would be great.
"Even so, it's not easy to get a job as we don't have a city hukou." Although Bai Jing was reborn, she still knew some common sense.
Zhang Cuicui had already said everything she should and shouldn't say, and she wasn't afraid to tell Bai Jing more.
"Some factories don't care about household registration, they only look at grades. Of course, some jobs can't be sold."
So Zhang Cuicui started to explain some basic knowledge to Bai Jing.
Bai Jing was listening with fascination until someone glanced into Zhang's house and startled the duo who were talking excitedly.
"I have to hand over my work tomorrow. I'll come to see you after I finish what I have on hand."
Bai Jing stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
"Okay, I'll be at home if you have nothing to do. Come and play with me when you're free."
"good."
When leaving Zhang's house, Bai Jing met several aunts and sisters sitting under a big tree not far from Zhang's house to enjoy the cool air.
No one spoke to her, and Bai Jing naturally didn't say much to anyone. She nodded as a greeting, and then walked home.
What Bai Jing didn't know was that when those people saw her enter the courtyard that had always been coveted by the people around her, they all started talking about it.
"I was wondering why they looked so unfamiliar. Turns out they were new neighbors. I never expected that family actually knew the Zhang family."
An old lady said this with jealousy in her eyes and sour words in her mouth.
"Oh, what's the Zhang family? Don't you know? That yard belongs to the Public Security Bureau. If it can be divided into their family, I'm afraid they have connections with the Public Security Bureau."
"Yes, maybe the Zhang family is trying to curry favor with them."
People can't stand seeing others doing well, being rich, or driving a Land Rover with one hand.
Bai Jing couldn't hear these sour words, but Zhang Cuicui did hear them, but she didn't take them to heart at all. Instead of wasting time, she might as well read more books.
I hope I can get a better job next time, so that she can have more money in her piggy bank.
Although the Zhang family lived in the steel plant's staff quarters, except for Zhang's father who worked at the steel plant, Zhang's mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law were not at home, and second brother Zhang was even unable to do the physical work.
Everyone in the Zhang family has a job, except Zhang Cuicui. Recently, Zhang Cuicui has been anxious because the street office has urged her to go to the countryside.
If she were to say, their town is already a township, so why would they go to the countryside?
However, in order not to embarrass her family, she is also trying to find a way to get herself listed in the unit first.
That night, Bai Jing told her father about buying a job at the sawmill.
"Dad, do you think this job is possible?" Bai Jing didn't intend to make things difficult for her own father. If he didn't like it, she could just change it.
Bai Quanfu never imagined that his daughter could help him find out about the job in just one day.
"How much does it cost to buy a job? Is there enough money at home?" This is what he is most worried about now.
I'm afraid the money I got from my second uncle has been almost spent.
"It's enough to buy you a job, but after that, the family might be in financial difficulty for a while. But it will be fine once Dad gets his salary." Bai Jing didn't intend to reveal the family background.
Upon hearing this, Bai Quanfu also understood the situation at home, "Okay, your third uncle said that the sawmill is a place where I can get promoted. I have the foundation, so I can go there." It's time to work. If he doesn't make money, the little money he has will not last long.
"There are two jobs in total. The other one is a painter. Since Dad wants to be a carpenter, let my second uncle do the other one. The salary is the same anyway. After starting, the first month is 28 yuan. After three months, you can transfer to a higher level. If you can get promoted, it will be 30.5 yuan."
"Painters earn more than you do, but that job is also more expensive."
Bai Jing finished speaking in one gulp.
Now it’s up to her father to choose.
"Let your second uncle do the painting. I'll handle the carpentry."
"Okay then. Dad, don't go to the hospital tomorrow. Come with me to the lumber mill. I've made an appointment with my colleagues to go with me to handle the handover procedures."
I think Zhang Cuicui has also agreed on this.
"good."
"But Dad, after dinner, go tell Uncle Er to save him from being away from home early in the morning."
As the father and daughter were talking, the younger brothers and sisters below were all silent and listened quietly.
When they learned that their father had a job, smiles appeared on their faces.
It would be great if there was work at home and income came in.
When they thought about their eldest sister passing the engineering exam, they became even more excited.
Bai Jing hasn't told them yet that she sold her job to her second aunt, but it doesn't matter if she tells them later.
