Chapter 114: A Gap



Qiao Changfu saw through Qiao Xifeng's thoughts and said to Qiao Zhenguo in great joy, "Boss, go to your second uncle's house right away."

Qiao Zhenguo looked at Qiao Changfu blankly: "Dad, what are you going to see at Second Uncle's house?"

Qiao Changfu looked at his eldest son's clear eyes and was almost suffocated by his stupidity.

"Oh, why are you so stupid?"

Zhang Xiaoxia glared at her husband angrily, unable to understand why he was so stupid as a pig.

"Dad wants you to go to the second room and see if Qiao Xifeng wants to become the director of the women's department."

Qiao Zhenguo looked at his wife in surprise, his small eyes widened. After being stunned for a few seconds, he looked at his father Qiao Changfu.

"Why do you want to follow Director Liu's path? If you want to work on the farm, you should ask your dad for help."

Zhang Xiaoxia was laughed at by her husband, "Are you stupid? I don't have a job, and neither does my younger sister. If our father wants to find a job, he must come to our house first, right?"

Qiao Zhenguo scratched his head, his honest face still full of confusion: "If you go to work, who will take care of the children and who will do the work? Even if there is a job, I can't give it to you."

Zhang Xiaoxia's face turned pale and she glared at her husband angrily. Qiao Zhenguo looked puzzled, not understanding why he had made his wife angry.

"Sister-in-law, no, I'm still here. I have to go to work."

Qiao Danfeng was anxious when she heard this and couldn't help but urge Qiao Zhenguo: "Brother, just do whatever our dad asks you to do. Stop hesitating. Qiao Xifeng will discuss it with Director Liu in a while."

Seeing Qiao Zhenguo standing there motionless, Qiao Danfeng simply went forward and pushed her brother out.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's no use worrying."

Qiao Zhenguo said loudly to his father: "I saw Gao Liman inside during the day. She must have gone to work."

Qiao Danfeng was dissatisfied and shouted: "Impossible, why would she do that?"

She rushed to her mother, holding Qiao's arm, and complained: "Mom, what right does Gao Liman have?"

Qiao's mother was also anxious and looked at her husband angrily: "What's wrong with Liu Meilan? How could she know about this news in advance when you didn't even know about it?"

Qiao Changfu snorted coldly: "She not only knows, but she also got the work done in advance. The people in our village are really becoming more and more capable."

The field office has a new department and several more jobs have been created. It may not seem like a big deal to outsiders, but it is a great opportunity for the members around.

They are both doing farm work, but farm workers in state-owned farms earn 32 yuan a month. How much can village members earn by earning a certain number of work points?

For the educated youth who went to the countryside, the only difference was between cadres and ordinary people. For ordinary members, being able to work on a state-owned farm is like having a stable job.

Liu Meilan acted so quickly this time that she had already made arrangements for her daughter before the site office announced the recruitment.

Qiao Changfu still hasn't figured out whose path Liu Meilan is following.

Another person who couldn't figure it out was Qiao Xifeng.

She walked on the night road in the dark with an empty stomach and returned to her parents' home. As soon as he entered the house, he ran to his parents' room and told them about the recruitment of workers at the farm.

Ge Liuping felt sorry for her daughter and heard that Qiao Xifeng had the opportunity to work. He quickly took out 10 salted duck eggs from the jar and took Qiao Xifeng to the next door.

I learned from Liu Meilan that the Sisters Mutual Aid Society has opened and all the positions have been filled.

Qiao Xifeng still didn't give up and believed that Liu Meilan was lying to her. After returning to her mother's home, she complained to her father with a resentful look on her face.

"It's all my mom's fault for being stingy. She only asked someone to do something for her and asked for 10 duck eggs. My husband Haiyang said that the monthly salary for that job was only over 30 yuan. How could such a good job be done with only 10 duck eggs?"

Ge Liuping disagreed and looked at her daughter with a sneer.

"What's the point of asking her for a job? I just went to test her. She is the women's director of our village. Do you really think she can help you find a job?"

"For this matter, you still have to find your uncle."

Qiao Changgui glared at his wife angrily: "Where is my elder brother? He has been suspended from work and is now reflecting on his actions because of you two idiots. You two still have the nerve to look for him?"

Ge Liuping said shamelessly, "Our Xifeng is his niece, the golden phoenix of your Qiao family."

"Xifeng has a good job. As his uncle, shouldn't he also benefit from it?"

Qiao Changgui is not as stupid as his wife. "No matter how lucky she is, she is still a niece! If there is really a job available in the field office, we will arrange it for our children first, and then our family will get the rest."

Qiao Changfu's words calmed Ge Liuping and Qiao Xifeng down.

Yes, the field office is recruiting workers, how could the people in Dafang not know about it?

Even if Qiao Changfu was suspended from work and stayed at home, Qiao Zhenguo could still take over his father's job.

Qiao Xifeng's face turned pale and she looked aggrieved: "They must have known and deliberately kept it from us. They secretly arranged jobs for their family members and then laughed at me."

"My uncle said that he was suspended from work and had to reflect on his actions because of me, as if our family owed him something. Although he was suspended from work, his son took his place. His family didn't punish him at all, and even gave that loser Qiao Zhenguo the opportunity to become the acting director."

"My family is the one that suffers the most! The village chief is afraid of getting into trouble, so he bullies me and my mother. I stink every day now, and the people in the staff dormitory cover their noses when they see me. Zhao Haiyang's colleagues also laugh at him, and now he doesn't even want to talk to me."

Qiao Xifeng was exhausted both physically and mentally. She couldn't understand why things couldn't develop as she had imagined?

She had clearly seized the initiative, so why was the result different?

Ge Liuping was heartbroken when she saw her daughter being wronged. Holding her hand, he asked with concern, "Why doesn't he want to talk to you? Didn't your uncle promise to give him a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University next year? What else is he not satisfied with!"

Qiao Xifeng had a sullen face. She didn't hide it from her parents and muttered angrily, "You despise me because I don't make money."

When Ge Liuping heard this, she screamed in a strange voice as if she had seen a ghost.

"You're a woman, how can you earn money? Men work outside and women work inside. Earning money to support the family is a man's job. Why should I let you earn money?"

Qiao Xifeng shrugged helplessly: "Mom, the loudspeaker is always broadcasting about gender equality and women holding up half the sky. Didn't you hear that?!"

"I don't care, just find me a job. Don't you think about which cadre's family member is like me, not working but being a housewife."

His daughter's words reminded Qiao Changgui.

"You're right. Zhang Guifen proposed marriage for Shen Xiao because she saw that Erya had a job. Otherwise, our family wouldn't be able to marry such a high-ranking relative."

Ge Liuping understood the meaning of her husband's words, squinted her eyes and asked tentatively: "You mean, follow Shen Xiao's path?"

Qiao Changgui raised his chin and spoke arrogantly.

"That's our son-in-law, the battalion commander! Isn't it normal for him to arrange a job for my sister-in-law?!"

Ge Liuping's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands and laughed.

"Yes, he is our brother-in-law. His rank is much higher than that of my eldest brother!"
