Chapter 18: Finally Back to the City
This is the face of the department store. The sister who is speaking has a beautiful face, black hair and fair skin.
Her peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling, her lips were naturally red, and her dark red coat made her look very good.
"Yan Yue, you are making fun of your sisters again." Niu Caidie knew that this ancestor was making trouble again.
"Sister Yan, your name is so nice. I'll come and play with you the day after tomorrow when I get to work."
Lin Xiaotong suddenly felt that it was not impossible to take this class tomorrow.
Everyone burst into laughter when they saw Lin Xiaotong acting like Jia Baoyu meeting Lin Daiyu.
Lin Xiaotong left the department store reluctantly, looking back every few steps.
After saying goodbye to Niu Caidie, she rode her bike past the supply and marketing cooperative again. After thinking about it, she went in and bought a piece of cooked food.
Two pounds of braised beef in soy sauce, just to celebrate my upcoming entry into the working class of the 1970s.
When I finished my purchase and walked out the door, I happened to meet Manager Cai, so I asked him about it.
"Manager Cai, I met Manager Cai from the department store today when I went to handle some work. I think you two look a bit alike."
Manager Cai said directly, "Wow! You're lucky to work at a department store. Director Cai is my second uncle."
This matter is not a secret within this system. After all, these two Cais look so similar and both have a blessed look on their faces.
In order to distinguish the two people, Manager Cai of the department store was called "Big Manager Cai" and Manager Cai of the supply and marketing cooperative was called "Little Manager Cai", collectively known as the Two Cais of Beijing.
"No wonder, you two look like a family."
After saying goodbye to Manager Cai, Lin Xiaotong hurriedly returned home on her bicycle, carrying the braised beef.
When she got home, Gao Xiulan had already prepared the meal. Xie Dajiao came home early from get off work today and was cleaning up the mess Gao Xiulan made while preparing the food in the kitchen.
"Mom, your cooking skills are so good, I can smell the fragrance from far away.
I also bought two pounds of braised beef today, and my dad happened to be off work.
I'll just treat it as a side dish today, mainly because Mom works so hard cooking every day, so I'll eat some more meat to replenish my body."
Lin Xiaotong, who was about to get a job, put the braised beef on the table with great dignity, sat down on the stool with a majestic air, and exuded a domineering aura.
"Girl, you only know how to make me happy.
Wow! This beef tastes really good. Eat half tonight and save some for breakfast tomorrow."
Gao Xiulan knew that her Xiaotong was indeed a sensible and filial child. Last time, she bought fabric for herself and her husband to make clothes.
Speaking of clothes, she remembered and went to the inner room to show the clothes she had just made today to Lin Xiaotong and Xie Dajiao.
"Xiaotong, come and look at the clothes I just made today. Mine is a top with flowers.
I made a white shirt for your dad so he can wear it when he goes out to do things.
If you have a decent appearance, you don’t need to envy others for what they have.”
"Old Xie, Old Xie, come out and see the new clothes Xiaotong bought for you."
"Here it comes! This white shirt is made of Dacron.
Why spend this money? You can buy it for your mother and yourself in the future, you don’t have to buy it for me.”
Xie Da Jiao looked at the crisp white shirt and was delighted when she took it, but she still expressed her worry about adding burden to Xiaotong.
"Dad, a white shirt isn't expensive.
You and Mom have worked so hard for this family for so many years, it's time for you to enjoy the peace and happiness of having children."
Lin Xiaotong immediately played the emotional card, establishing the image of a filial and sensible person, and maxed out the favorability of Xie Yi's parents.
"Our Xiaotong is so filial. Xie Yi has never said such thoughtful words to us."
Xie Yi, who was training hard in the south, sneezed violently and said:
"Strange, who is talking about me? It can't be my wife."
Xie Yi thought of the last letter he received from Lin Xiaotong, and his face was filled with love.
…
The three-day deadline soon arrived, and Fu Wenlei came to the Tianshuijing compound as agreed.
Once again he came to the place where he was embarrassed, clenched his fists and then unclenched them, and a fake smile appeared on his square face again.
"Knock knock--" He knocked on the door of Old Zhao's house.
"Who is it? Here you are, Chairman Fu, come in." It was Zhao Yunyun who opened the door.
She didn't even close the door, but left it open, open and honest.
The two of them didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.
Zhao Yunyun stood up straight, took a deep breath, and asked calmly:
"What about work? What kind of work?"
"Workshop workers at the Third Food Factory can report the day after tomorrow.
When the time comes, you can go directly to the factory to handle the procedures for transferring your household registration and grain and oil relations."
Fu Wenlei still did not arrange Zhao Yunyun to work in the Second Food Factory.
Although the third food factory is not as large as the first and second food factories.
But it is also a factory with hundreds of employees, and the normal price for a formal job is generally around three hundred.
"When the time comes, just take this note and go find Sister Wang in the Personnel Department."
After Fu Wenlei finished speaking, he put the note on the table.
"I've already fulfilled both of your conditions. Where's the IOU?"
Zhao Yunyun readily returned the IOU to Fu Wenlei.
"Here, let's write off this matter, and I won't tell anyone about Fu Zhenggang."
Fu Wenlei took the IOU, held it in his palm, and looked at Zhao Yunyun deeply.
I was thinking in my head that his money is not so easy to get!
He looked at the environment around the compound and left without looking back.
After everyone left, Zhao Yunyun stood there alone.
For a long time, she covered her face with her hands and cried loudly, tears streaming down her face.
She could finally return to the city.
"Oh, yeah, I have to call the captain right away and ask him to help with the household registration issue."
I quickly wiped away my tears, locked the door, took my keys, and ran to the post office to make a phone call.
"Why did I hear Zhao Yunyun was going to work at the factory?"
Jin Qiaofeng, the widowed mother of Er Nengzi, was leaning on the wall with her butt sticking up, eavesdropping on what was happening in the Zhao family's house just across the wall.
Jin Qiaofeng walked on her bound feet, shouting, "Diao Yulian, Diao Yulian, where have you been?"
Diao Yulian lifted the door curtain and replied in a low voice:
"Calling the soul! I just coaxed my baby to sleep, can't you lower your voice a little?"
Jin Qiaofeng leaned close to Diao Yulian's ear and said, "Great news, I just heard..."
"What! Zhao Yunyun actually asked the Fu family for a job!"
Diao Yulian really didn't know where she missed out. Wasn't she talking about sisters swapping marriages before? How come she changed the subject in just a few days?
What an outrageous plot development!
Diao Yulian was also envious of Zhao Yunyun. How could this girl be so lucky?
Not even married yet? She already has a job.
At the same time, he secretly warned himself to stay away from Zhao Yunyun in the future.
This girl does some very evil things. I have a son to support at home, so I can't make her angry.
I thought to myself: But maybe I can discuss it with Old Wu, and I should hurry up and find a partner for my girl.
It would be great if my daughter could marry into a leader’s family so that she can help Jiabao more in the future.
Zhao Yunyun jogged towards the life she had been planning for a long time, and passed by a young woman in a blue factory uniform at the corner.
