Xu Jiajia looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Zhou surrounded by a group of street urchins. He looked panicked and frightened.

The street urchin arrogantly stretched out his hand and asked him for money: "Take out all the money you have on you, or I will beat you so hard that your parents won't recognize you!"

Shen Zhou gave his only fifty cents to Xu Jiajia as a membership fee, and he had no money on him: "No, I'm just a country boy, where can I get the money?"

The leading man was about sixteen years old. He had a face very similar to King Jiji's, with a big mouth, which made him easy to remember.

"Hahaha... no money? Are you kidding me? My brother saw you had fifty cents two days ago, but now you say you have no money?"

When he spoke, his expression was rich and exaggerated.

Looking at it this way, he looks more like King Jiji.

Shen Zhou was alone, and there were several enemies. He was not the enemy at all, so he just gave in: "I didn't lie to you, my brother got married, and I gave a gift.

How about this, I'll go back today and ask my mom for fifty cents, and I'll give it to you tomorrow, is that okay with you?"

The leader actually thought about it: "What time tomorrow?"

Shen Zhou didn't expect that there was such a gullible guy. He was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously: "For a moment, what do you think?"

Shen Zhou handed the initiative to the leader, making the other party feel that he was very afraid of him.

"Okay." The leader lifted his eyebrows.

Those who came with him thought Shen Zhou had some conspiracy: "Brother Ji, what if he tells our parents about this?"

The leader named Brother Ji asked the man, "Do you think he dares?"

Without waiting for the man to speak, Shen Zhou immediately said, "I dare not, I dare not, I am a country boy, how dare I go against you city people!"

Brother Ji snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "Of course, if you dare to complain, I will beat you up!"

After threatening Shen Zhou, Brother Ji raised his head and saw Xu Jiajia standing at the entrance of the alley.

He showed a look of surprise, then thought about something and immediately turned around and asked others: "Is my hair messy?"

"no."

Brother Ji touched his hair, pulled his collar, turned around and walked towards Xu Jiajia: "Zhi, where are you going? I'll take you there."

Without waiting for Xu Jiajia to speak, Shen Zhou ran over to block Xu Jiajia at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, looking at Brother Ji with a vigilant look: "If you have anything to say, come to me, don't scare my sister-in-law!"

The word "sister-in-law" was like a bolt of lightning that struck Brother Ji: "What? She, she got married?"

Wuwuwuwu…

The girl he fell in love with at first sight turned out to be someone else's.

This gave him hope, but also made him despair.

My God, you are so cruel!

Shen Zhou is not a fool. Looking at his peacock-like appearance, you can tell that he has taken a fancy to Xu Jiajia: "Yes, she is my sister-in-law, and my brother is a soldier. If you dare to act rudely towards my sister-in-law, my brother will not let you go."

Ji Guo glared at Shen Zhou with his eyes wide open: "What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Am I, Chen Ji, that kind of person?"

After saying this, he felt that this was too rude, and fearing that it would scare Xu Jiajia, he immediately softened his voice: "Zhi, don't believe him, I am a good Zhi, I am not a hooligan!"

Chen Ji's partner: "..."

What does Jige mean?

Is it possible that you really like that girl?

Shen Zhou: “…”

This man actually has two faces.

I hope my sister-in-law doesn't get fooled.

Xu Jiajia looked at Chen Ji: "Are you Ji, which means auspicious?"

Chen Ji didn't expect that the girl he fell in love with at first sight would remember his name. He was so excited that he stuttered: "Yes, yes... yes..."

Xu Jiajia chuckled. Her stuttering appearance was too similar to the famous scene in The Rich Son-in-Law when the eldest brother-in-law Su Wenxing saw the female thief "flying, flying, flying".

When Xu Jiajia smiles, there is a feeling of a spring breeze on your face, and her curved eyebrows are so charming.

Chen Ji was stunned, his heart pounding. Wow, so beautiful, I want to marry her!

Thinking it was a military marriage, Chen Ji became frustrated: "..."

It’s all his fault for showing up too late!

Xu Jiajia asked: "What are you doing?"

Shen Zhou was about to tell the truth, but Chen Ji quickly covered his mouth. He grinned and said, "We are just communicating with each other."

Shen Zhou shook his head violently: "Wuwuwu..."

It's not like that!

Sister-in-law, he is a liar and a bad person. Don't believe him!

Xu Jiajia actually heard it, she just wanted to confirm it again: "Shen Zhou is still a student, don't bully him."

Chen Ji was afraid that Xu Jiajia would misunderstand, so he hugged Shen Zhou's neck like a brother and said, "Sister-in-law, we have a good relationship and we will not bully him."

The word "sister-in-law" stunned everyone.

Just now she had an expression that said she was determined to marry no one else.

Oh, I'm wrong. It's the expression of not wanting to marry someone else.

In less than three seconds, she became the eldest sister-in-law.

This feeling came suddenly and disappeared suddenly.

Shen Zhou suddenly pried open Chen Ji's hair, looking like he was going to fight him to the death: "That's my sister-in-law, why are you yelling?"

If you want to compete with him for my sister-in-law, you have no chance!

Chen Ji laughed and said, "We are brothers. Your sister-in-law is my sister-in-law, and your parents are my parents."

If we can't be husband and wife, we can be relatives.

Shen Zhou pushed Chen Ji away: "Who says we are brothers? You are shameless!"

Chen Ji was not angry either. He took out a piece of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Shen Zhou's pocket: "You don't have any money, right? Take it and use it as you like."

He made one dollar sound like it was worth a million.

Shen Zhou is poor, but others are poor, and his ambition is not poor: "I don't want it."

Chen Ji stuffed it directly into his pocket and said, "Take it. We are brothers, why be polite?"

You are in high school, right? "

Shen Zhou didn't know why he asked that. Seeing that he had no ill intentions, he nodded: "Yeah."

Chen Ji broke the good news: "In ten days, the machinery factory will be recruiting internally. Do you want to come?"

Shen Zhou didn't expect such a surprise. He excitedly said, "Can I?"

At this time, Shen Zhou was puzzled.

He has such resources, why doesn't he go there himself!

Chen Ji's friend explained to him: "If we had studied harder, we wouldn't have failed the exam."

State-owned factories like this usually recruit internally.

Most of the candidates who took the exam were children of workers.

Even if they are not the children of employees, they may have relatives in the factory.

Shen Zhou couldn't understand why these people, who came from such a wealthy family, would hang out on the street?

Xu Jiajia listened to their conversation and heard a business opportunity: "Can I sign up?"

Chen Ji thought Xu Jiajia wanted to go to work, his eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "Sure, of course.

However, it is difficult to pass the test.

If you want to work, I can ask my dad to find you a job."

Chen Ji's friends looked at this amazing development and didn't know what to say for a moment!

Xu Jiajia looked at Chen Ji in confusion: "Do you have a job?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "No, I don't like being restricted. My family are all workers, and I am the only one who eats idle meals. They can support me."

Shen Zhou: “…”

You can afford to support him, but you still hang around on the street?

What is this operation?

Xu Jiajia understood that this was a naughty child who had never been beaten by society: "I still want to take the exam on my own. I appreciate your kindness."

Chen Ji scratched his hair shyly: "No, no need to be so polite."

Xu Jiajia smiled softly: "I want the information of the machinery factory and the previous examination papers. Can you help me?"

Chen Ji is the youngest in the family. When his mother was pregnant with him for a month, good things happened in the family. On the day he was born, his father became the deputy director of a machinery factory.

Everyone in the family said he brought good luck to the family. Even though he couldn't do anything well, everyone spoiled him. But he always felt unmotivated.

But Xu Jiajia's words filled him with energy: "Yes, you must. My father is the deputy director of the machinery factory. It's easy for me to get the information."

Shen Zhou was dumbfounded: "With such a strong backing, why are you still hanging around on the street? Isn't it good to be a master in the family?"

Chen Ji looked sad: "You don't understand, I actually want to do a private sale, but the country doesn't allow it, ah..."

Xu Jiajia didn't expect that this boy was quite intuitive: "Just because you don't allow it now doesn't mean you can do it in the future."

Chen Ji seemed to have found an organization and spoke incoherently: "You, you think so too?"

Xu Jiajia did not answer directly: "Our country is just gathering strength. As time goes by, it will shock the world sooner or later."

Chen Ji nodded his head like a garlic: "Yes, yes, I also think that day will come.

I was wondering why we get along so well?

It turns out we have the same idea!"

Xu Jiajia and Chen Ji agreed on a meeting time for tomorrow and then returned to the guesthouse.

She was lying on the bed.

Thinking about what happened in the past few days.

I fell asleep while thinking about it.

There was a knock on the door and she woke up.

Open the door.

Seeing that it was Shen Yuebai, she pulled him in and shared the good news with him: "In ten days, the machinery factory will also have an exam."

As soon as Shen Yuebai saw her excitement, he knew what she was planning: "Do you want to take the exam?"

Xu Jiajia nodded: "Yeah."

Shen Yuebai had heard from his comrades that it was difficult to get into state-owned factories. To get in, either they took over their parents' jobs or bought their jobs with money. Some got in through examinations, and among those who got in through examinations, the majority were children of employees.

There are very few people like Xu Jiajia who can get in.

Unless there is smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb.

Shen Yuebai was afraid that Xu Jiajia would feel psychological pressure, so he comforted her, "Don't feel any psychological burden, just think of it as a try."

Xu Jiajia hugged Shen Yuebai's neck and kissed him on the face: "It's great to have you."

After spending so much time with Xu Jiajia, Shen Yuebai got used to her boldness. He took out two bath tickets and said, "Put on your clothes and go take a bath."

Xu Jiajia exclaimed: "You are so amazing. You can borrow anything."

Shen Yuebai: "..."

The bathhouse is not far from the guesthouse, just a five-minute walk away.

The bathhouse is on the second floor.

There are men's and women's bathrooms.

It was Xu Jiajia’s first time to come to the bathhouse, and everything she saw was curious.

She lifted the thick cotton curtain of the women's bathroom, and a gust of hot air hit her face.

Standing at the door, the first thing you see is a large mirror with a red great man's profile painted on it hanging on the east wall.

A plaque with the words "Serve the People" in Chinese calligraphy is hung on the mirror, which looks solemn and imposing.

After passing through the changing room and pushing open a red spring wooden door, you will see the bathhouse. There is the sound of flowing water and rising steam, and one large and two small baths are vaguely visible inside.

There aren't many people at this spot.

Xu Jiajia hung her change of clothes beside her, took off her outer military uniform, and entered the pool wearing only her underwear.

She leaned against the pool tiles, scooping up a stream of water with both hands and pouring it over herself.

The heat seeped into my skin, and beads of sweat oozed out of my face.

Wash half.

Xu Jiajia looked at something and suddenly screamed, "Ahhhhhh..."
