After the short-haired woman left, Luo Shuzhi turned to look at Gao Xiulian again. Her tone was still indifferent, but her words were very nice. She said, "Comrade Gao, I'm really sorry. I had to take a leave yesterday and didn't know about this. Please sit here for a while. I'll come and talk to you after I understand it clearly."
Gao Xiulian didn't care about her tone. She knew there was a chance when she said that. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Luo Shuzhi nodded, and left the office right after the short-haired woman.
As soon as the two of them left, Gao Xiulian found a seat in the office and sat down. She also whispered to the person sitting behind the desk on the right: "Secretary He, do you think Director Luo was angry just now? She didn't scold Secretary Wu, did she?"
Secretary He thought to himself, isn’t this just nonsense? Ignored Gao Xiu Lian.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gao Xiulian snorted coldly, "You guys are the same. It's not your first day working in the Military Family Placement Office. Don't you know the procedures for arranging work for military wives? How could you make such a big mistake? Now you're going to be criticized!"
Secretary He couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, thinking that although they didn't handle this matter in a very standard way, they wouldn't make a big mistake.
Although priority is given to military wives who registered early in job arrangements, employers also have requirements for employees, and it is not the case that they can arrange anyone to go. Therefore, when they are doing their work, the old shígGdujia can only try their best to arrange for the wives of soldiers who have joined the army early to go to work if they meet the requirements.
The only inappropriate thing about this matter is that the job was arranged for Lin Wei before her household registration was approved.
But Lin Wei's application to join the army was approved, and there was no way the higher authorities would block her household registration. That meant that the two children needed to verify a lot of information, but if things went smoothly, it could be done within two or three days.
In short, if Director Chen hadn't been in a hurry and followed the normal process, the job would still be assigned to Lin Wei in a few days. After all, among the remaining unemployed military wives in the family quarters, Lin Wei is the only one who meets the requirements for employment in the hospital pharmacy.
In fact, if Gao Xiu Lian hadn't rushed to complain as soon as she heard the news and happened to meet Director Luo, the matter would have been almost settled if Lin Wei had waited for her household registration to be approved and then come to their office to complete the registration process.
But even if the incident had broken out now, Director Luo would at most criticize them for not being rigorous in their work, saying that the problem was not serious at all, but Gao Xiulian was making alarmist remarks.
Looking at Gao Xiulian's smug look, Officer He smiled and said, "Comrade Gao, you may not know that the job of a pharmacist in the hospital requires a junior high school degree or above."
Last night, when Gao Xiu Lian heard that Lin Wei got a good job in the hospital pharmacy, she was so angry that her mind was full of going to the military dependents placement class today to ask for an explanation. She really hadn't considered the pharmacy's recruitment requirements, and her face froze when she heard that.
But she changed her mind and realized that when the supply and marketing cooperative and state-owned restaurant were recruiting sales clerks and waiters, they required a junior high school education. But when it came to recruiting, the threshold was lowered to just being able to read and do arithmetic.
That is to say, she joined the army late and missed the good time when there were vacancies in these units. In addition, the people in the Military Dependents Placement Office were all look down on her because she came from the countryside, so they kept giving her some low-level jobs to put her off.
Thinking of this, Gao Xiulian calmed down and said, "Isn't it just a pharmacy medicine dispenser? I don't need to write or count. Isn't it enough to be able to recognize words? Why do I have to graduate from junior high school?"
Officer He has worked in the Military Family Resettlement Office for several years and has seen many people. How could he not see Gao Xiulian's thoughts? He smiled and said, "We said the same thing when Director Chen came. She was very unhappy after hearing it. She said that the wrong medicine was prescribed and it could kill people. Human lives are at stake. Junior high school graduation is already a result of lowering the requirements. We can't lower them any further!"
Gao Xiulian's face froze completely after hearing these words.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Secretary He felt relieved and continued to poke her heart, saying, "So, even if we follow the procedures, this job will only be assigned to Comrade Lin Wei, not you. Can you understand?"
Gao Xiulian can understand nothing!
She came here just for the job. Now you tell her that she doesn't have enough education and no matter who gives her the job, how can she be happy?
Of course not, Gao Xiu Lian is almost mad with anger!
But after being angry, Gao Xiu Lian remembered something and her expression gradually softened.
Some people are most afraid that you have it but I don’t. If there is none of that, I would feel relieved.
Gao Xiu Lian is a typical example. After she was sure that she could not go to work in the hospital, she felt that no matter who the job was finally assigned to, as long as it did not fall on Lin Wei, she would feel relieved.
…
Because emergency situations may occur in various departments of the hospital, someone must be there at all times, so a shift system is adopted. But the logistics department is different, they usually don’t have urgent matters, so the working hours are relatively fixed, from 8 am to 6 pm.
However, these days everyone is very enthusiastic about work and few people come to work late, so the office is basically full before 7:50.
Chen Wenfang arrived late, she arrived at the office at 7:55.
After entering the office, I poured myself a glass of water. The thermos has a good heat preservation effect. The hot water I filled it with yesterday afternoon is still too hot to drink.
Therefore, Chen Wenfang held the enamel cup and read for a long time. In the end, he did not dare to moisten his throat with hot water. He put down the cup and walked to the desk, took out the materials that he had not finished reading yesterday and continued reading.
After reading for a while, Chen Wenfang remembered something and called Ke, the person in charge of human resources, to come over and tell her that a new employee would be joining the pharmacy next Monday.
They are a military hospital, and there are regulations for recruiting people. Medical care is a critical position, and the staff are basically transferred from above. Of course, if there are military wives who are working in related fields, they can also be recommended by the Military Family Placement Office and enter the hospital after assessment.
However, the logistics staff have to give priority to the wives of military personnel. If there are no suitable candidates among them, they will recruit workers from outside.
It's just that the Military Family Resettlement Office is too slow in processing and never follows the recruitment requirements. For example, if they want to recruit a propagandist, they require a junior high school degree and the ability to write, draw and have ideas. The first person they recommend may have only an elementary school degree and his or her writing and drawing skills are average. When we approached them, they were very reasonable and said, "A propagandists are just people who publish newspapers. Isn't it enough for them to know how to read, write and draw?"
Then they have to negotiate with the Military Family Resettlement Office, telling them that this person is not good in this way and that they want to replace him. It takes four or five times before you can recruit someone who meets all the requirements.
Director Chen went to the Military Family Resettlement Office yesterday. According to Officer Ke's estimation, it will take at least the end of the month for anyone to start working there.
But it’s only been one day and the candidate has been decided?
Secretary Ke couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "Why are they so happy this time?"
Chen Wenfang recalled the accidental incident yesterday, and a smile spread across the corners of her lips: "At the beginning, they also told me that there was no suitable person. It was Xiao He who let it slip and told me that there was a new military wife joining the company. I went to check the new military wife's information. The conditions were suitable in all aspects, so I went to her house to talk to her and settled the matter."
Secretary Ke laughed: "That's really a coincidence."
"Yes." Chen Wenfang leaned back in her chair and said with emotion, "By the way, after Xiaolin joins the company, you should ask Xiaohu to take care of her more. Try to make her familiar with all the medicinal materials in the pharmacy and the specific work processes before Xiaohu leaves."
"Okay, if there's nothing else I'll get back to work?"
"Go ahead."
As Chen Wenfang spoke, he picked up the enamel cup, drank a sip of boiled water, and continued to read the information.
He looked at her for more than half an hour until someone knocked on the door and said Director Luo from the Military Family Resettlement Office had arrived. Then he raised his head, frowned, stared at the door for a while and said, "Let her in."
The visitor responded with a "OK" and left, and less than half a minute later, Luo Shuzhi came in.
Chen Wenfang and Luo Shuzhi both came to Yazhou Island in the early days of the establishment of the Sanlin Base. They have known each other for more than 20 years, but their relationship has never been good.
Chen Wenfang thought Luo Shuzhi was too pretentious, and Luo Shuzhi thought Chen Wenfang was too reckless. In short, they looked down on each other.
But both of them are in their fifties and are no longer the greenhorns who have just started working. No matter what their private relationship is like, they always appear to be friendly on the surface.
Therefore, when Luo Shuzhi came in, Chen Wenfang stood up to greet her and said with a smile, "What's the wind blowing today that brings you here?" and then took her to the leather sofa to sit down.
Luo Shuzhi also had a smile on her face: "Don't worry, the east wind is still blowing. I came here today to apologize to you."
"Apologize to me?" Chen Wenfang raised an eyebrow and threw tea leaves into the enamel cup while asking, "What are you apologizing to me for?"
"It's just about what happened yesterday," Luo Shuzhi said with a sigh, "I always tell Xiao He and the others that they should follow rules and procedures when doing things, but they panic when something happens and do stupid things! Alas, they are still too young and need more experience."
"Gurgle gurgle."
Chen Wenfang took the thermos and poured hot water into the enamel cup, about half full, then put the lid on the thermos, placed the cup in front of Luo Shuzhi and said, "Experience is experience, but I still don't understand. What does the internal affairs of your military dependents resettlement office have to do with me?"
Pack!
Luo Shuzhi didn't believe that Chen Wenfang didn't understand what she meant, and was just pretending to be stupid and didn't want to let him go. The smile on her face faded and she said, "Director Chen doesn't understand, then I'll be frank. The recruitment process of your hospital pharmacy is not standardized, and the people you recruit don't count."
Seeing Luo Shuzhi's true colors, Chen Wenfang's face turned cold. He put down the enamel cup and said, "Excuse me, why is my recruitment process not standardized?"
"It has long been stipulated that all units recruiting workers must first report to our Military Family Placement Office, and we will arrange for military wives..."
"I have reported to your Military Dependents Resettlement Office. Please ask your Xiao Wu and Xiao He whether I went to your office yesterday to report the recruitment."
"You did report it, but I just said that we have to arrange the military wives. After we have decided on the candidates, you can make the final choice." Luo Shuzhi said, and raised the corners of her lips and asked, "The process you had yesterday was not very good, right?"
Chen Wenfang looked surprised: "Isn't Comrade Lin Wei the one arranged by your Military Family Resettlement Office? I went to your place yesterday and asked Xiao Wu to arrange someone. She said that there was no military wife who met the requirements on the list, so Xiao He mentioned Comrade Lin. I thought the conditions were suitable, so I went to talk to Comrade Lin about the job in person. Is there anything wrong with this process?"
Without waiting for Luo Shuzhi to answer, Chen Wenfang raised her hand and said, "Yes, yes, I know I was a little hasty to go directly to Comrade Lin to discuss this matter, but Director Luo, you have to understand me. Xiao Hu is about to resign and return to his hometown. The pharmacy cannot delay recruiting people. Otherwise, Xiao Hu will resign and the new person will not be hired. Who will fill the medicine at that time? If no one fills the medicine, what will happen if the doctor prescribes the medicine? What if the patient can't get the medicine? This is a matter of life and death!"
Chen Wenfang's words blocked most of what Luo Shuzhi wanted to say, but she was not like those young people in the unit who panicked so easily. She just smiled and said, "Director Chen, of course I can understand your urgency, but please understand me. This is really not possible. Comrade Lin just came to join the army and his household registration has not been processed yet, but he has already been hired. If this news gets out, what will those unemployed military wives think? How can I continue my job?"
As soon as Luo Shuzhi showed weakness, Chen Wenfang knew that this matter would be difficult to handle.
When Luo Shuzhi confronted her, she could still confront him head-on. After all, the problem with the process was an internal matter of their Military Family Resettlement Office, and she was in the right.
But since Luo Shuzhi was playing the victim, Chen Wenfang had no way of confronting her. After all, they lived in the same compound and saw each other every day, so it was not easy to completely break up with her.
But Chen Wenfang didn't want to just go along with Luo Shuzhi's wishes. Otherwise, if she gave in this time, people would think she was easy to bully. So she frowned and said, "Of course I can understand you, but we can't stop hiring in our hospital pharmacy just because those military wives don't want to, right? Comrade Dinglin, I also asked Xiao Wu from your unit before. There are really no suitable candidates among those unemployed military wives. If you are determined not to let them go, then I can only call the county high school and ask them to introduce fresh graduates."
Hearing the threat in Chen Wenfang's words, Luo Shuzhi narrowed her eyes.
Although the state-owned factories in the county also recruit military wives, when it comes to recruiting workers, locals are still given priority. After all, they are not factories run by the military, so it is not that convenient to arrange people.
These units near the base are basically funded by the military, firstly to make life more convenient for the families of soldiers, and secondly to provide more jobs. Therefore, when these units are short of staff, the Military Family Placement Office basically arranges for military wives to join the units.
But now, Chen Wenfang wants to bypass them and contact the county high school to arrange for new graduates to join the school.
As the old saying goes, if there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. As the person in charge of the Military Family Resettlement Office, Luo Shuzhi knew that this loophole could not be opened.
Thinking of this, Luo Shuzhi smiled and said, "I roughly understand the job responsibilities of your pharmacist in the pharmacy. It is to accurately take out the corresponding medicine from the cabinet and give it to the patient according to the doctor's pharmacy, right?"
"This job sounds simple, but it's not easy to do, so after discussion, we decided that the people who work in this pharmacy must have at least a junior high school education and must be careful and meticulous in their work."
"I understand. When it comes to matters of life and death, there must be no mistakes. We need to find someone who is careful, but this requires a junior high school education, which I don't think is necessary. Many of the military wives in our compound don't have a high level of education, but they are still very studious and can read and write just as well as those junior high school students."
Luo Shuzhi sighed and said, "You know, many military wives in the compound come from poor families and have no chance to go to school. After they came to the army, they heard that many units needed people who could read and write, so they studied very hard. If the military wives are willing to make progress, we should give them a chance, don't you think?"
"Director Luo, it's not that I don't want to give them a chance!" Chen Wenfang also complained, "You just said that pharmacy work is a matter of life and death. If you really lower the standards and recruit someone, what if she prescribes the wrong medicine and the patient gets sick? Who will take the responsibility if something goes wrong? You?"
"Even if you recruit a junior high school student, can you guarantee that she won't make mistakes?"
"So in addition to the academic requirements, we also require the recruits to be careful in their work. I've read Comrade Lin's information. Before she joined the army, she worked as a warehouse manager at the cotton mill in her hometown for more than two years and never made any mistakes." Chen Wenfang said meaningfully, "Letting her take over Xiao Hu's job will not only make me feel at ease, but also the leaders of the hospital."
Luo Shuzhi understood what Chen Wenfang meant. It was obvious that she wanted her to find a candidate who was better than Lin Wei in all aspects, otherwise there would be no need to consider replacing her.
To be honest, if Chen Wenfang hadn't raised the flag, Luo Shuzhi really wouldn't bother with her. Anyway, she wouldn't let him go, so let's see what she could do!
But at this point, she had become passive and could only grit her teeth and say, "You require a junior high school degree or above and someone who is careful in his work. I do have someone who can be my candidate."
Chen Wenfang asked: "Who?"
"Deng Xiangyun." Luo Shuzhi said a name. "She is a serious technical secondary school student. Before joining the army, she worked as an accountant in a state-owned factory in her hometown. Her conditions are not worse than Comrade Lin's, right?"
Chen Wenfang was surprised. She didn't expect Luo Shuzhi to assign the job to Deng Xiangyun.
You know, Deng Xiangyun's parents were sent down to the countryside, and her family background was not very good. Otherwise, with her educational background, it would be impossible for her to have been in the army for seven or eight years without having a job arranged for her.
Someone is pressing her!
But now, Luo Shuzhi would rather give the job to Deng Xiangyun, who has a bad background, than let the job fall to Lin Wei. It seems that she really hates Zong Shao!
Chen Wenfang thought to herself and said hesitantly, "This... isn't appropriate, right? Deng Xiangyun's background isn't very good."
"What's inappropriate about this? Deng Xiangyun's parents were sent down to the countryside, but her marriage to Zhou Jianhai was approved by the organization. The organization recognizes her, so why should we be so obsessed with this?" Luo Shuzhi said in a high-sounding manner. "Besides, she has behaved quite well in recent years and has no bad tendencies. We are all comrades, so we should give her a chance to correct her mistakes, don't you think?"
Seeing Chen Wenfang remained silent, Luo Shuzhi continued, "Director Chen, it's not that I don't want to let her go. It's really that Comrade Lin is a new military wife, and it's not in accordance with the rules to get a job before her household registration is even processed. I'll tell you the truth, I didn't deliberately target Comrade Lin Wei this time, but a military wife heard about this and became dissatisfied and came to me to complain."
Chen Wenfang was startled: "Who complained to you?"
"Anyway, someone heard Lin Wei telling someone about this. As for who that person is, I can't tell you." Luo Shuzhi didn't want to protect Gao Xiu Lian; it was a matter of stance.
Gao Xiulian complained to her and she sold him out right after. If this gets out, what will other military wives think of her? So even if the person who made the complaint was Gao Xiulian and the fact was not concealed, the words could not come out of her mouth.
Luo Shuzhi made her attitude clear and continued, "If this matter cannot be properly resolved, which military wife will obey the resettlement? If you are dissatisfied and I am dissatisfied, won't things be messed up? How can we carry out our work in the future? You used to work in the Women's Federation and have a lot of contact with military wives. You should understand our difficulties, right?"
Chen Wenfang didn't answer, but just sighed: "What kind of a fuss is this!"
…
When Luo Shuzhi found Chen Wenfang, Lin Wei was visiting the supply and marketing cooperative with her children.
Last night she cut the mango and gave some to the two children. She also ate a few bites herself, but because she was afraid of allergies, the rest went into Zong Shao's stomach. He had eaten it before and was not allergic to it.
After the meal, we were worried that the two children would get rashes if they fell asleep, so the four of us slept together again that night.
But everything was calm throughout the night, except that the two brothers were still missing the sweetness of the mango. They had only eaten a small bite yesterday and it wasn't enough.
So when buying vegetables today, Lin Wei took them to the supply and marketing cooperative again, and this time bought a few more mangoes, one for each person. In addition, Lin Wei also weighed some bananas and rambutans, and forgot about the lychees. You can't eat too many hot fruits. Anyway, the taste is similar to rambutans, so buying one is enough.
After visiting the supply and marketing cooperative, the mother and her two daughters went to the seafood supply station. They didn’t buy any fish today, so Lin Wei bought some oysters, and then went to the vegetable market next door to buy a few heads of garlic.
Buy more garlic. After cleaning the house yesterday, Lin Wei tidied up the area at the door.
There are a wide variety of vegetables on the island, most of which do not require tickets and are affordable, so Lin Wei does not plan to plant too many vegetables, as it would be troublesome to take care of them. But you can plant some garlic and leeks. Once they sprout, you don’t have to take care of them and just harvest them one by one.
After shopping, Lin Wei walked back with her two children.
When passing by Zhou's house, I saw Xiao Shitou again. He was squatting on the ground playing with the stones alone. I clearly saw him and turned in another direction, wanting to go over and play with him. Ruirui didn't move, but just looked up at Lin Wei, obviously wanting to play together.
Of course Lin Wei would not stop it. In fact, she also hoped that the two children could make new friends after arriving on the island.
"Go ahead." Lin Wei followed them, grabbed a handful of rambutans from her pocket, and broke off a few bananas to share with them.
Mingming Ruirui happily took it, but Xiao Shitou was a little hesitant. It was not until Deng Xiangyun heard the sound and came out of the house and nodded in agreement that he accepted the food.
After dividing the children, Lin Wei gave some fruit to Deng Xiangyun.
Deng Xiangyun didn't want to accept it, but Lin Wei smiled and said, "We just moved in and have nothing. If you hadn't lent us the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, we wouldn't even be able to cook at home, let alone eat Shanghai fish. If you don't accept it, I won't dare to come to your house in the future, for fear of taking advantage of you."
"Okay." Deng Xiangyun had no choice but to take the fruit and ask, "How is your household registration?"
Lin Wei smiled and said, "The Military Family Resettlement Office said that if it's fast, it will be done in the next two days. I'll go ask again tomorrow. Once the household registration is done, I'll go get the food certificate and ticket."
"Then your life is finally on the right track." Deng Xiangyun said with a smile.
"Yes." Lin Wei nodded, and her eyes suddenly stopped when she saw the three children squatting on the ground picking up stones.
When she discussed with Zong Shao yesterday, she actually didn't think about asking anyone to help take care of the children. After all, she had just arrived with the army and was not very familiar with the military wives in the family area. She didn't know their personalities, nor did she know whether they were willing to do so. In addition, she was also worried that the two children would not be able to adapt.
But at this moment, an idea suddenly came to her mind. Ruirui and Xiao Shitou got along well, so if Deng Xiangyun could be asked to help take care of the children, they would probably be more receptive.
Moreover, Lin Wei hadn't seen Deng Xiangyun go out in the past two days, so she thought she might not have a job. Of course, more importantly, after spending two days together, Lin Wei felt that Deng Xiangyun was a nice person, and she could feel more at ease leaving the child to her.
But she had only known the man for a short time, so it was not easy for her to directly say to him, "Please help me take care of the child and I will give you money." After thinking about it, she swallowed the words and decided to wait for Zong Shao to come back in the evening and discuss it with him first.
It would be best to mention it to Zhou Jianhai first to test the couple's attitude. If they are not unwilling, she can then talk to Deng Xiangyun.
Because there were still many old things to do at home, after making up her mind, Lin Wei did not chat with Deng Xiangyun for too long. She said goodbye to the two brothers and went back alone.
After arriving home, she first placed the fruits in the living room, and then put the purchased vegetables and oysters into the kitchen. After that, Lin Wei went out and fetched a basin of sea water to soak the oysters so that they could be stored for longer.
In fact, the people at the supply station said that if you are going to eat oysters on the same day, you can just soak them in clean water. But when people first arrive in a place, they will always be more cautious when doing things they have never done before, and Lin Wei is happy to "waste" time in this way.
After soaking the oysters and tidying up the kitchen, Lin Wei heard someone calling her name. She walked out and saw Chen Wenfang standing outside the yard with a surprised expression on her face: "Director Chen, why are you here?"
"I have something to tell you."
Chen Wenfang considered asking Luo Shuzhi to arrange someone to notify Lin Wei about the job replacement, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not appropriate. After all, it was she who discussed the matter with Lin Wei in the first place, and she should be the one to tell Lin Wei about the replacement.
So she came over in person.
When Lin Wei saw Chen Wenfang's serious expression, she immediately thought of Zong Shao's words: The longer the night, the more dreams you may have.
Although she told Chen Wenfang about her decision last night, something might happen if she didn't start working. Therefore, when Lin Wei heard from Chen Wenfang that the person in charge had changed, she was not surprised. She just asked calmly, "Can I ask why there was a sudden change of person?"
Chen Wenfang did not hide it from Lin Wei and said, "Director Luo of the Military Family Resettlement Office said that someone heard you talk about this matter and reported it to Director Luo. You just came to join the army and your household registration has not been issued yet. This matter is not very reasonable in terms of procedures, so..."
Lin Wei was stunned and interrupted to ask: "Wait, I haven't told anyone about this?"
Chen Wenfang's expression became serious: "You didn't tell anyone? Then how come the person who complained said that you admitted it yourself?"
"I don't..." Lin Wei was about to say that she didn't know, but then she remembered what they said when Liu Dan passed by her house last night, so she told Chen Wenfang about the situation.
Chen Wenfang asked, "You mean, someone heard you guys chatting and then went to Director Luo to complain?"
Lin Wei was not sure, and only said: "I have not mentioned this matter to anyone else."
Chen Wenfang sighed, this was truly an unexpected disaster!
But she still said two sentences to Lin Wei: "They say walls have ears. How can you talk about such an important matter outside?"
Lin Wei whispered, "I didn't think much about it at the time."
Seeing her like this, Chen Wenfang felt a little sorry for her and tried to comfort her by saying, "It doesn't necessarily mean someone eavesdropped. Maybe the person who complained didn't tell the truth." After thinking about it, she advised, "It's better for neighbors to get along harmoniously in the future. Of course, don't talk about important things outside."
Listening to Chen Wenfang's explanation, Lin Wei's heart gradually warmed up. She smiled and said, "I know."
Lin Wei has an oval face without much flesh, which makes her look skinny. She doesn't look round or festive, and doesn't conform to the aesthetic of today's middle-aged people.
But she has beautiful eyes, a bit like peach blossom eyes, and they shine brightly when she smiles, which makes her look very pleasing, so perfection and happiness are not so important.
People of Chen Wenfang's age like girls like this.
In addition, the job that had been agreed upon suddenly fell through, but Lin Wei did not show any complaints after learning about it. Instead, she was deeply moved by her words, which shows that she is a decent person.
Because she thought highly of Lin Wei, Chen Wenfang spoke to her heart-to-heart: "Although this happened, don't worry. It's not your fault. Once your household registration is completed, go to the Military Dependents Resettlement Office to register, and they will arrange a job for you. You have a high level of education, so you will definitely have an advantage over other military wives in terms of job placement. Just wait and see, there's no need to rush."
In fact, Lin Wei was not in a hurry to find a job. She followed the army and was registered as a city resident, and she ate the rationed food. Although the ration for the unemployed is lower than that for the employed, she has a small appetite and 20 kilograms of food per month is enough for her.
She doesn't have to worry too much about money. She has savings and Zong Shao has a good income. Even if he doesn't arrange a job for her for a year or two, she can afford to wait.
She was worried that Director Luo might have a problem with her. Although it wasn't her fault, the source of the trouble was her. Moreover, from what Chen Wenfang said, it seemed that Director Luo had asked her to be replaced...
Lin Wei thought so and asked this question. Of course, she said it in a tactful way. She did not mention that Director Luo might have some opinions about her. She only asked her if she wanted to explain the matter to Director Luo.
Chen Wenfang thought, Luo Shuzhi's dissatisfaction with you is not because of this matter. If you go to her to explain, you will probably be embarrassed, so she waved her hand and said, "No need."
Seeing that Lin Wei was still hesitant, Chen Wenfang explained, "Luo Shuzhi has always valued her reputation. As long as you stay calm and don't make mistakes, she won't deliberately trip you up when there's a job."
If the process had not been so irregular this time and someone had not complained, even if Luo Shuzhi had a grudge against Lin Wei, she would not have done anything.
In the final analysis, it was all a coincidence.
Chen Wenfang thought about it, but suddenly felt that Lin Wei's expression was a little strange, and asked hesitantly: "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah?" Lin Wei came back to her senses, looked at Chen Wenfang steadily, and asked softly, "Director Chen, can I ask you something?"
Chen Wenfang had a feeling that something was not right with Lin Wei, but she was a little confused and could only say, "Ask."
Lin Wei did not speak immediately. She took a deep breath and asked after a while, "The Director Luo you mentioned, does she have a niece named Luo Yun?"
Chen Wenfang was stunned and fell silent.
Seeing her silence, Lin Wei already had the answer in her heart. The blood color on her face quickly faded and her lips gradually turned pale.
Chen Wenfang thought that Lin Wei had heard something and had a misunderstanding, so she quickly explained, "Although Luo Shuzhi wanted to match Luo Yun and Zong Shao, Zong Shao directly refused. There must be nothing between them. Don't think too much."
Lin Wei could only smile bitterly when she heard this. She knew very well what was going on between Luo Yun and Zong Shao.
Luo Yun was born into a cadre family. After graduating from junior high school, he studied in a medical school for more than a year, but the school was closed before he graduated. Her parents were afraid that she would collude with others, so they sent her to live with her aunt on Yazhou Island. It was also here that she met Zong Shao.
In fact, they didn't have much in common. Zong Shao was obsessed with making a name for himself at that time and worked very hard in his career. He was either on the ship or in the camp every day. The two of them had rarely seen each other.
But love can be love at first sight or love that grows over time. Luo Yun is the former, and she believes in feelings.
Because of Zong Shao, Luo Yun chose to stay on Yazhou Island and became an intern nurse at the health station. Her thoughts were simple at the time, she just wanted to watch him from a distance.
But people are always greedy. When she stayed and could watch him from afar, she began to want more.
She began to observe Zong Shao, and found that after receiving his allowance at the end of the month, he would always go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, and then maybe go to the county post office to mail them out on the same day or during his next day off.
But before she could be happy about her discovery for long, she was discovered by Zong Shao. He severely criticized her behavior and said that there must not be a next time, otherwise he would report it.
Luo Yun was frightened and dared not follow Zong Shao anymore, but she did not give up immediately. She just liked him silently until her aunt Luo Shuzhi saw through it and offered to be a matchmaker for the two.
When she first learned of Luo Shuzhi's plan, although Luo Yun was shy, she also had some expectations in her heart. She didn't expect Zong Shao to refuse outright.
After that, Zong Shao went home to visit his relatives, and when he came back, news spread that he had a girlfriend. At first Luo Yun thought it was a smokescreen that he didn't want to go on a blind date with her, but less than half a year later, she heard that he was married.
Luo Yun was extremely distressed by this. After struggling secretly for two years, she applied to be transferred from Yazhou Island to Yangcheng. It was there that she met the male protagonist.
The above is the story of the original novel, and Luo Yun is the heroine of the original novel.
Because the original novel takes place after Luo Yun was transferred to Yangcheng, the events of Yazhou Island only exist in her memories. After Lin Wei arrived on the island, she basically only came into contact with military wives, so apart from Zong Shao, she did not come into contact with other people in the original novel.
Zong Shao is her husband, they have known each other for a long time, and she cannot rely on him. Just be sure that this world is a novel.
Therefore, she always doubted her dreams.
Of course, she could also ask Zong Shao if he knew Luo Yun, or ask him who the political commissar of the base was or what his wife's name was, but it would be strange to ask these questions suddenly, and she hadn't decided whether to tell him about this, so she kept hesitating.
On the other hand, her hesitation also implies escape.
Although she had decided to face the matter positively and try to change her fate of early death while on the ship, this was a rational choice, and emotionally, she could not control her escapist mentality.
It's like covering one's ears and stealing a bell, as if by not asking or thinking about it, you can pretend that nothing happened.
These days, she seemed to be living in a dream, until that name that appeared only briefly in the original novel brought her back to reality, forcing her to seek further verification.
The results are obvious.
The dream was real, and it was also true that she would soon die.
