Gu Xiaobao didn't say anything for a long time. Su Nianmei was a little anxious. She put on her shoes and walked out the door without caring about her image.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the room, a strong smell of perfume hit her in the face, choking Su Nianmei and giving her a headache.
Seeing Gu Xiaobao standing blankly at the door, he quickly walked up to him and pulled him over, and then he saw the person who came.
She was wearing a long red dress and a black and white cloth bag on her arm. She was wearing a pair of four or five centimeter high heels. She must have just worn them not long ago because she was swaying slightly when she stepped on them.
Su Nianmei pinched Gu Xiaobao's chubby little hand. The child's palm was still cold. Her heart sank immediately. The smile on her face was forced back a little. She asked with a half-smile: "Excuse me, who are you?"
The woman in the long skirt saw Su Nianmei coming, stepped inside in her high heels, and reached out her hand to touch Gu Xiaobao.
Su Nianmei moved sideways and blocked the woman's hand without making a sound, but the smile on her face deepened a little, "My little Bao is introverted and a little shy. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
The woman's hand was placed almost in front of Su Nianmei. She withdrew her hand barely and took out a white silk handkerchief from her bag. She wiped her hand back and forth and glanced into the house.
After wiping her hands, she gently pinched the handkerchief with her fingers, frowned, and let go of her hand with a look of disgust.
The light silk handkerchief fell slowly with the wind.
Two white and slender fingers pinched the silk handkerchief that was about to fall. Su Nianmei raised her eyes, with a half-smile on her face, and instantly raised her arm to hold the silk handkerchief that was about to fall to a position almost one finger away from the woman.
After being reborn and adapting to this body, her reaction ability seems to be better than before.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the loose hair on Su Nianmei's cheeks was gently blown up. Gu Xiaobao looked up at his mother and moved closer to her again.
Su Nianmei smiled, put her arm around Gu Xiaobao's shoulders, and said, "It's been windy lately, so you should take good care of your things, or you might lose them one day."
He was also very considerate and put the handkerchief into the woman's bag.
The woman looked at Su Nianmei and said calmly, "Let me introduce myself. I am Xiaobao's teacher, Shi Hua. Our school wants to educate the children and pass on the military spirit. I would like to ask, does Captain Gu have time?"
Su Nianmei also knew a little about this situation. There were many people in the Western Military District who had families with them. In order to allow the children of soldiers to receive a better education, the military district specially built schools near the military district for the children to study. Gu Xichao's situation was special and he was often on missions, so Gu Xiaobao had no one to take care of him and was sent to school early.
There were clattering footsteps in the corridor. Ma Fang came up with a basket of vegetables. She happened to hear Shi Hua's words and looked puzzled. "Big sister, didn't our Captain Gu go on a mission? My husband left in the middle of the night. The bugle in the yard has been blowing for a long time."
When Su Nianmei saw that the person coming was Ma Fang, she also started a conversation: "Yes, she left last night. I was scared to death sitting alone in the room, in the dark." As she spoke, she patted her chest twice. The expression on his face also changed, revealing a look of fear.
Gu Xiaobao quietly raised his hand and patted her on the back to comfort her.
The expression on Shi Hua's face changed again and again, like an overturned palette. She crossed her legs and walked out, her high heels making a thumping sound on the ground. When he walked over the threshold, he almost lost his balance and his whole body was hanging as if he was about to fall out.
Ma Fang hurriedly lent a hand to support her, and Shi Hua twisted her body and walked down the stairs like a gourd.
Seeing Shi Hua's figure gradually walking away, Ma Fang pouted at the corridor, then took Su Nianmei's hand and walked into the room with a smile. She put the basket of vegetables on the table leisurely, and then took Su Nianmei into the small room. Seeing Ergouzi was still there, she coaxed him out of the room with a smile, and asked Gu Xiaobao to take him outside to play.
Su Nianmei looked at Ma Fang's mysterious behavior and was confused, so she gave Gu Xiaobao a few more instructions before entering the room.
As soon as she entered the room, Ma Fang took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Su Nianmei eagerly.
Su Nianmei took the paper and looked at it. It was still warm. The words "Temporary Employment Letter" were written on it in blue pen, and the official seal was stamped at the end.
Su Nianmei was puzzled and asked, "Sister-in-law Zhao, what's the matter with this temporary employment letter?"
Ma Fang was stunned. She didn't expect Su Nianmei to know how to read. She immediately retracted her hands and touched her body nervously. "Hey, recently, Xiao Wang from our procurement office had some problems in his hometown and went back to visit his relatives. The procurement office is short of staff. Director Liu asked me if I had any good candidates to recommend. When I thought about it, I thought of you, big sister."
Su Nianmei held the paper and thought to herself, why would the Purchasing Office, a place with so much money, think of her? She reached out and held Ma Fang's hand, and sat on the bed with her: "Alas, sister-in-law, you are making things difficult for me. I just learned a few simple words from the educated youth who were sent down from our village a few years ago. I have no talent or virtue. I, I can't take on this position."
Ma Fang looked at Su Nianmei with a smile on her face. The more she looked, the more she liked her. This girl was not very popular when she first came, but now her attitude towards people has become gentler. Not only is she pretty, but she can also recognize a few words. What she did with Shi Hua just now was really impressive.
Shi Hua always targeted their Da Zhuang at school, and she had disliked her for a long time. But because of her husband's face, she didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
Ma Fang waved her hand. "The purchasing office in our hospital is not like the one in the district. We just buy some daily necessities for each household and bring them back. There is not much profit, just enough to supplement the family expenses. It's just hard work."
"Originally, I shouldn't recommend this to you since you've just recovered from a serious illness, but now that this opportunity has come, you have to grab it. If you have a hard time working in the future, don't blame me for not finding you a good job. I can't do much to help you, so I can only recommend a few small jobs. I've been through this before, and everyone's situation is the same. If you rely on one person's little money, the whole family won't be able to survive in a few days."
Su Nianmei smiled bitterly. Although Gu Xichao's monthly salary was decent in this era, he had to send half back to his hometown, use some for household expenses, and keep some just in case. There was not much money left for him to use freely, not to mention that the original owner was still squandering money.
I should have thought about how to make a living. This is an opportunity that has been presented to me.
Find a temporary job first to test the waters and get a feel for the world.
Su Nianmei smiled at Ma Fang and placed the temporary employment letter neatly on the bedside table. "Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law first."
Ma Fang also stood up, patted her wrinkled clothes, and said, "Okay, big sister, you go ahead and get busy. Just remember to report on time tomorrow morning. I'll go home and cook for the kids."
Su Nianmei walked forward and opened the door of the small room. The two people lying at the door were about to fall inside at the same time.
Su Nianmei quickly protected the two people with one hand. One by one, he tapped them on the forehead.
Ma Fang also came out with a smile, jokingly saying, "Hey, these two little bastards are still lying here listening through the crack in the door."
As he said that, he walked to the table, took the basket of vegetables and opened the door.
Su Nianmei followed.
Ma Fang said softly to Su Nianmei at the door: "Captain Gu is a capable man, so you should just put your heart at ease. Although you have a little treasure, you will not be treated unfairly if you live a good life."
Su Nianmei also smiled and pointed to her head, "Here, once you knock it, you will understand everything. I have experienced life and death, so what is there to worry about? Thank you sister-in-law for reminding me."
Ma Fang also smiled and patted Su Nianmei's shoulder. After a few words of greeting, she went upstairs.
After seeing Ma Fang off, Su Nianmei closed the door. Gu Xiaobao dragged her towards her room, while Ergouzi pulled her legs from behind to prevent her from going any further.
Su Nianmei was a little confused by the two children coming one after another. She stumbled into Gu Xiaobao's room and saw a scene that made her laugh and cry.
