Chapter 245 Lu Xiaolan's Work
In the evening, Lu Changzheng came back from work and brought back two cribs.
People in the south sleep on beds, but the beds provided by the army are not big, and it is very crowded for a family of four to sleep on. The most important thing is that the children are there, and the daughter-in-law will not touch them.
Lu Changzheng immediately used his connections to ask someone to make two cribs.
This crib is made entirely of bamboo, very delicate, and it is very cool to sleep directly in the summer, and in the winter, you just need to put a mattress on it. It
was made by a local craftsman who was found through connections. It is much cheaper than the cribs sold in department stores, only six yuan each.
After Lu Changzheng brought the bed back, he moved it directly to the room where Lu Xiaolan slept, saying that she would look after the children and let the children sleep with her in the future.
In the evening, the family had a good meal to celebrate Su Mo's admission to the job.
"I never thought that there is wild boar meat for sale in this big city." Lu Xiaolan said.
Lu Changzheng knew that this must be what his wife took out from the space, so he said: "How can there be no wild boar? There are a lot of mountains and rural areas in the surrounding cities and counties. Where there are mountains and crops, there are wild boars."
"This wild boar meat was bought by your sister-in-law on the way back. Just eat it at home and don't tell anyone." Lu Changzheng explained.
"I know, I'm just saying it." Lu Xiaolan also saw the backpackers in Jinling. It's normal to buy this kind of thing. Who would be stupid enough to tell others.
During the break, Lu Changzheng packed the two little ones to Lu Xiaolan's place, successfully opened a shop and ate meat. He also shamelessly said that Su Mo had passed the exam and got a job, and he had to serve her well, which made Su Mo very angry.
Before going to bed, Su Mo asked Lu Changzheng to talk to the troops the next day about assigning a job to Lu Xiaolan. After all, jobs are not available immediately, and you have to wait for a rank. The sooner you tell them, the sooner they can be assigned.
The next day, Lu Changzheng called Commander Lin to say hello.
Commander Lin's position had been determined before he was transferred here. He stayed in Yangcheng for less than a month. After getting familiar with the situation, he went to Qiong Province.
"Did your wife fail the exam to get a job?" Commander Lin asked. He had specially inquired about it before. This guy's wife is quite capable and should not have failed the exam.
"If she did, it won't be for my wife, but for my sister."
"Didn't your sister come here to take care of the children?" Commander Lin frowned.
In the era of planned economy, the army's things were also planned, and the number of family members accompanying each officer was limited. In principle, only spouses, children and parents could apply to accompany the army.
Otherwise, if everyone brought their whole family to accompany the army, the army's material supply would be huge.
"Yes, I'm here to take care of the child. So I want to see if I can arrange a job that is convenient for taking care of the child. It won't be too late. In two months, when the child is one year old, my wife will send the child to a nursery."
Teacher Lin was very happy. He had to arrange a job to take care of the child, so why wouldn't he do it?
"Your child can walk? Send him to a nursery when he is one year old?"
Nurseries do not accept children who cannot walk. Otherwise, the teacher has to hold the child every day, so how can he come here.
"Yes, and he can speak simple words." Lu Changzheng responded proudly.
Commander Lin raised his eyebrows, imagining Lu Changzheng's proud look, and said, "Wait, I'll give a call to the logistics department, you can go over and tell them later."
"Also, you kid, keep a low profile. There are still many family members who don't have jobs now. Don't arrange jobs for them as soon as you get here, which will make it difficult for the logistics department to do its job."
"I've been waiting for four months. How can I get a job as soon as I get here? Commander, this quota was agreed upon at the beginning, but my wife didn't use it and gave it to my sister." Lu Changzheng said.
Keep a low profile, but make it clear what needs to be said. This was originally agreed upon early on, don't make it seem like they took advantage.
"You kid, you won't be left out. I'll talk to the logistics department and you can go over this afternoon." After Commander Lin hung up the phone, he called the leader of the military region's logistics department and told him about the situation.
In the afternoon, Lu Changzheng took time to go to the office of the logistics department that was specifically responsible for the placement of family members and told him about Lu Xiaolan's situation.
They had received instructions from above and immediately made arrangements after hearing that Lu Xiaolan not only had a junior high school education but also worked in a supply and marketing cooperative.
"A teacher in the nursery was transferred away two months ago, and we haven't found a suitable candidate yet. I think Comrade Lu Xiaolan is quite suitable. Otherwise, you can go back and ask her if she is willing to try for two days?"
Not everyone can be a teacher in this nursery. After all, the children they take care of are all from the institution, so the requirements are naturally higher. In addition to the requirement of a junior high school education or above, the applicant is also required to be patient and caring, and be able to both lead and teach.
When Lu Changzheng heard this, he thought this job was perfect. Xiaolan has loved children since she was a child, and her nephews and nieces at home like her very much. She is definitely qualified for this job.
Send the children to the nursery, and Xiaolan can just watch over them. With their aunt around, they don't have to worry about being bullied.
"No need to ask, she will definitely be happy to do it. When do you think it will be convenient for her to try?" Lu Changzheng made the decision immediately. He
knew his own sister well. Lu Xiaolan was not a picky person. As long as there was a job, she would be happy to do it.
"Let's say hello to the nursery, and you can ask her to go there tomorrow and try for two days. If she is suitable, she can start working in May."
Lu Changzheng nodded, and then asked about the benefits.
The job in the nursery pays 30 yuan a month, with four days off, and the rest is covered by the family welfare of the family home.
When he returned home at night, Lu Changzheng told the two of them the good news.
Lu Xiaolan couldn't believe it, "Why was a job arranged for me?"
She had met some people in the family home these days, and many sisters-in-law were unemployed, so how could she, who came here to help take care of the children, be arranged a job?
"You have to thank your sister-in-law for this. The quota originally belonged to her, and she was worried that you would come here without a job and have no confidence, so she took the job exam herself and gave the quota to you. These days, she urged me to quickly talk to the army." Lu Changzheng tried to win the favor of his wife.
Lu Xiaolan was so moved. Besides her parents, the only one who cared so much about her was her third sister-in-law.
"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law." Tears welled up in Lu Xiaolan's eyes.
Although she was happy to help her Third Brother and his wife take care of the children, she still felt a little panicked sometimes, fearing that if she continued to take care of the children, she would not be able to go out to work in the future.
Moreover, people who were used to being paid suddenly lost their income and had to rely on others for support, which made them feel uneasy and afraid that they would become a burden to others.
Although she had some savings, she didn't dare spend them freely.
Now, she has a job again. Not only does she have a higher salary than before, but she can also help her third brother and his wife take care of their children. Lu Xiaolan suddenly felt that she was confident again. Not only can she help her brother and his wife, but she can also create value.
