Chapter 38 Xiao Gu is depressed
She suddenly felt that she needed to find a reasonable job for herself. She didn't care what others thought, but Ye Jiao and the others who lived here did care.
The job of prospecting for minerals fits the nature of her job very well, which requires her to travel frequently. Moreover, there are so many prospecting teams across the country that even if someone has doubts, it is impossible to verify them one by one.
The point is that there are indeed several teams within the army that are looking for gold. This gives us a reasonable excuse both internally and externally.
The young boy was surprised: "You're actually looking for minerals? That means you have to run around in the wild every day. It's too hard for a girl like you, isn't it? My mom and my sister told me that girls shouldn't work so hard and just find a good man to marry."
"As long as I can get paid, the hard work is worth it. Your mother has her own ideas, and everyone has different ideas. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Ye Jiao and I will go home first."
After she and Ye Jiao left, a group of half-grown children were still talking about how Sister Ye Jiao was looking for a miner! I heard that the salary for a miner is very high...
After returning home, Ye Jiao asked curiously, "Sister, are you really looking for minerals?"
"Yes."
"But—I don't think so."
"Don't worry about whether it looks like it or not. Go wash your face quickly. Look how dirty you are."
Ye Jiao then picked up the basin and went out to wash her face quickly.
When she came back, Ye Qinglan was taking money out of his bag. Seeing her coming back, he handed her a big banknote and said, "Keep it as pocket money."
Instantly Ye Jiaoliu's eyes widened.
"Give it all to me?"
"right."
Ye Jiaomei was so happy. She had never received so much pocket money before.
"Thank you, sister. You are so kind."
After taking the money and putting it away, he took Ye Qinglan's hand and started chatting, asking her how she was doing recently and whether her work was going well.
The two talked for a while, and then Yang Wenying went off work.
I was quite surprised to see her come back.
After a few words, they were about to cook, but Ye Qinglan suggested going out to eat. Yang Wenying had money in her hand, so she agreed.
After coming back from dinner, Ye Jiao chattered with Yang Wenying about Ye Qinglan's work.
When Yang Wenying heard about the job of looking for a mine, she frowned: "The guy who gave me money once was wearing a military uniform."
In fact, she wanted to ask, aren't you in the army? How come you are a prospector?
Upon hearing this, Ye Qinglan said, "I'm here to look for minerals for the troops. Don't say too much when you go out. Just say I'm here to look for minerals."
"Then I definitely won't say anything nonsense." Yang Wenying still frowned: "It's just that looking for minerals is too hard, going through wind and rain."
No wonder her face isn’t as tender as other girls’. It wouldn’t be tender even if she was exposed to the wind and sun all day.
“Every job is hard.”
Yang Wenying thought about it and said, "Why don't you quit that job and I'll give you my job."
"No, I'm used to it, and my job pays well."
Yang Wenying sighed.
Ye Jiao asked her curiously, "Sister, are you a member of the army when you are looking for minerals?
"Of course I do. Why not? Look for miners."
Ye Jiao suddenly became envious. A miner is still a soldier, so impressive! She also thought in her heart that when she grows up, she will also join the army, and she can be any kind of soldier.
Ye Qinglan asked a few more questions about the recent situation at home, and was relieved to know that Ye Lin did not come over.
Here the mother and daughter were talking about Ye Qinglan's work, and other neighbors also heard from their own children that Yang Wenying's eldest daughter was looking for a miner.
All of a sudden, everything about Ye Qinglan was explained. Even the reason why Yang Wenying and Ye Jiao's lives were getting better and better was explained.
Yang Wenying has a daughter who is rich and capable of making money. Miners are paid very well, especially those who work outside to find minerals, which can be as high as two or three hundred yuan a month... No wonder their family has been eating and drinking so well recently, and they have to go out for a drink every now and then.
Here, the mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Ye Qinglan gave fifty yuan to Yang Wenying, asking her to buy whatever she wanted. She came back without buying anything.
The things given by the Beijing Research Institute and Commander Gu were not suitable to bring back, and she didn't have time to go shopping to pick out gifts for them. Besides, she didn't know what they liked, so she decided to just give them money and let them buy it themselves.
After sleeping at home for a night, Ye Qinglan returned to the army early the next morning.
I picked up Little Tiger and went to find Commander Xie.
As soon as they arrived, they saw Wei Hua, who was wearing a Zhongshan suit, in Commander Xie's office.
Considering that he was not fully recovered yet, Commander Xie sent someone to pick him up.
Commander Xie said, "This is the tiger head I told you about. He was skinny because of the disaster before, but he has become strong and sturdy after a while of recuperation."
Wei Hua looked at Hu Tou.
In fact, he was used to living alone and there was really no need for him to have a child. However, Commander Xie insisted that he was old and had no one to rely on, and that if he raised a child, they could take care of each other. He also said that the child was so pitiful.
The idea of raising an elderly person didn't impress him, but when he heard that the child was pitiful, he felt a little distressed, so he agreed to the deal.
Ye Qinglan pushed Hutou and said, "This is the new father we found for you."
As it was already agreed upon, Hu Tou walked over and called out in a crisp voice, "Dad, I'm Hu Tou."
This shout made Wei Hua feel as if he was hit by something.
It took him a while to react, and he touched Hu Tou's face: "Hey! Good boy, from today on I am your dad."
"I am your son too." Hu Tou replied seriously, adding: "When I grow up, I will be filial to you."
Wei Hua smiled: "Okay, Dad believes in you, and Dad will take good care of you." Then he looked at Ye Qinglan: "Is he in school?"
“Not yet.”
"Then I will go back and enroll him in school. He has to go to school." Wei Hua added, "Hutou looks pretty cute, like my son."
"Dad, you're pretty handsome too."
“…”
Hey! The big and the small are doing business with each other.
You and I were talking and it seemed quite harmonious.
Commander Xie was delighted to see this: "I knew you two were meant to be together. This is even better. Hutou, come home with your father."
Ye Qinglan reminded him: "Comrade Wei, Hu Tou is very strong, a natural strongman, you should pay attention to him..."
After saying this, he did not forget to tell Wei Hua that this matter must be kept confidential.
Wei Hua: "Don't worry, Commander Xie has already told me about this. I will keep it a secret."
"Well, I'll leave the tiger head to you."
Afterwards, Wei Hua took Hu Tou away. Ye Qinglan saw them off to the car and promised Hu Tou that she would visit him often as long as she was in Lingcheng.
Hu Tou then hugged her and left with her new father.
Now that Tiger Head had been found, Ye Qinglan also started a new round of work. He was busy looking for new people with special functions all day long, and thus he had no time to pay attention to the inspection.
This made Xiao Gu depressed. Where was Teacher Xiao Ye who had promised to come for inspection? Where was she?
