On the street, Gu Zhinian was riding his bicycle aimlessly. A woman in her thirties, wearing high heels, hurried past with a pile of documents in her arms. She walked too fast and accidentally twisted her foot. The documents fell to the ground. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and leaned beside Gu Zhinian.
Gu Zhinian’s first reaction was that he was being scammed.
Looking down, the woman was covering her hands and feet, her face pale with pain. Gu Zhinian had also sprained his foot and knew how painful it was, so he stopped his bike and walked over to show concern.
"Comrade, are you alright?"
The woman had curly hair that reached her ears, and was neat and tidy. She was anxious to pick up the documents scattered on the ground, but her hands were in so much pain that she couldn't move. It must be because she had hurt her bones when she supported herself on the ground with her hands when she fell just now.
"I twisted my ankle and injured my hand. I need to rush these documents to the court. Sister Qiuxia is waiting for them."
Gu Zhinian helped her pick up the documents, and Wang Li took the documents and was very grateful.
"Thank you. Look how fussy I am. I even twisted my ankle while walking."
Gu Zhinian helped her up. Wang Li took one step and sweated profusely from the pain. Gu Zhinian took her documents and put them in the bicycle basket.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there on my bike."
Wang Li was in a hurry to deliver the documents, so she had to trouble her.
"Thank you. Go to Hantun Township Court. I work there."
"good."
Gu Zhinian took her on a bicycle, and Wang Li directed the way. They got closer and closer to the army. When they arrived at the rear of the army, there was actually a small and dilapidated court.
Gu Zhinian looked at the entrance of the court in surprise. She had been in the army for several months and had not noticed that there was a court here.
Wang Li smiled and said, "We're a township court here, so we don't handle big matters. We only handle trivial matters from the surrounding villages and towns. We're called a court, but we're no different from village officials."
Gu Zhinian helped her walk in, and a woman in her forties came over.
"Wang Li, what's going on?"
"Sister Qiuxia, I sprained my ankle. Thanks to this female comrade who brought me back."
Sun Qiuxia took the documents from her hand and helped her sit down.
"Look at you, you're always so irritable, falling here or bumping into something there. Is there ever a day when you don't get hurt?"
Sun Qiuxia cursed, but her hands protected her. Wang Li lowered her head and smiled. A man in his thirties came out from inside.
"Sister Li, you fell again."
Wang Li: “…”
The man's name is Qian Dayou, and he is the assistant to the court president Sun Qiuxia. Wang Li is the clerk. There are also two deputy court presidents and two security guards. No one is willing to come from this small town, resulting in a serious shortage of staff.
Sun Qiuxia opened the file and asked Wang Li, "Can you move your hands? The trial will begin tomorrow."
Wang Li shook her head.
"No, my hands hurt so much I can't move them."
Qian Dayou said, "Otherwise, I will do her job."
Sun Qiuxia glanced at him.
"There are three sessions in total. You'll have to sort out the things I need for me. Can you handle that?"
"What can we do? We are already short-staffed. Where can we find a suitable clerk?"
Clerk?
Gu Zhinian asked, "What are the requirements for a clerk here?"
"Yes." Qian Dayou looked at her, "You have to take the exam and pass it."
"I want to take the exam to be a clerk. Is that okay? I'm a college graduate."
"College student." Sun Qiuxia and Qian Dayou looked at each other, their eyes filled with determination, they must not let the person escape.
Qian Dayou hurried back to the inner room and came out with a test paper and a pen. "Here's the test paper for you. If you pass, you can become a clerk."
Gu Zhinian took the pen and test paper, sat on the chair and answered the questions. She had just graduated from college, and what she had learned was firmly in her mind, so it was easy for her to answer.
After finishing, Gu Zhinian gave the paper to Sun Qiuxia. Qian Dayou also came closer to take a look and shouted excitedly,
"All correct!"
Sun Qiuxia put away the test paper and asked Gu Zhinian, "How is your family situation?"
Gu Zhinian pointed to the nearby military unit and said, "I live in the military compound. My husband is a soldier."
Sun Qiuxia, Qian Dayou, and Wang Li were all stunned. "You are a military wife."
Gu Zhinian nodded, and Sun Qiuxia smiled and said,
"Then the political review will definitely be fine. You can start working here tomorrow. The salary is 60 yuan a month. When you become an official employee, your salary will increase."
"good."
Sun Qiuxia added:
"We have a court session tomorrow, so we need to prepare today. If you're free, stay and get familiar with the situation so you can get started tomorrow."
"good."
Gu Zhinian sat on a chair, looking through documents. Wang Li sat beside her and told her what to pay attention to.
Gu Zhinian was so focused on his studies that when he came to his senses, it was already five o'clock. Wang Li smiled and said:
"You have a strong learning ability. I will sit next to you and give you guidance during the court session tomorrow. There will be absolutely no problem."
"Thank you."
Gu Zhinian stood up and returned home with the things he needed to study. When he got home, Xiao Tangyuan excitedly told Li Yuling about what happened in kindergarten. Yunshuang was also talking about her work in a distressed manner. Li Yuling couldn't stop laughing.
Yun Muye had not returned home yet. Gu Zhinian put down the documents, picked up little Tangyuan affectionately, and kissed her fair and tender little face. He had not seen her for a day and missed her so much.
"Baby, how was your day at kindergarten?"
Little Tangyuan hugged his mother's neck and danced with joy.
"That's great! Mom, I've made so many good friends. We share delicious food and play games together."
"Wow, what a great day little Tangyuan had!"
Gu Zhinian asked his sister-in-law again, "Yunshuang, how do you feel about your first day at work?"
