In the afternoon, Xu Jiancheng's stepmother went to work, his younger brother went to school, and Jia Yue also went out.
Disguised as a middle-aged man, he paid two people at a nearby black market to have time to say a few words to Chen Guohong, the gossipy resident of the tenement.
After the sales pitch was taught and the deposit was paid, Jiayue went home.
She wanted the family to fall into chaos so she could take advantage of the situation.
The next day, after breakfast, Jia Yue went out.
She arrived at the address Liu Shan gave her, and Liu Shan arrived early as well. They arrived one after the other. When Liu Shan saw her, he instructed her: "The person you're going to take over is named Jiang Lan. She's going to join the army. Her mother isn't in good health, and her father is a martyr. The mother and daughter depend on each other for survival. She's taking her mother with her when she goes to join the army. She doesn't have any other relatives. Just tell everyone that you saved her mother. She gave you the job before she left. Do you understand?"
These days, jobs can be transferred to relatives or even non-relatives, as long as the reason is appropriate. She is both a martyr's family member and a military dependent, so even if someone suspects something, they won't say anything.
"I understand, thank you for your trouble, Comrade Liu."
Not only did I find a job, but there weren't many problems afterward.
Jiang Lan was a straightforward person. Since Jia Yue had given her a generous sum of money, she enthusiastically took Jia Yue to the factory to hand over her work.
Jia Yue brought all the necessary documents and became a member of the daily chemical factory. Of course, the salary was not high, only a little over twenty yuan a month. With various vouchers and certificates, it was enough for her to cover her expenses.
Jia Yue was in a good mood after getting her work done.
She didn't plan to tell Xu Jiancheng and the others about her work; she had to go to school every day anyway, so she could keep it a secret.
Of course, she also knew that she couldn't hide it for long.
That evening, while we were having dinner, my stepmother suddenly spoke up: "Jiayue is about to graduate. Can you arrange a job for her? If not, I'd like to go to the educated youth office to inquire about the situation beforehand, otherwise I don't know where she'll be assigned!"
Xu Jiancheng: "Work isn't that easy to arrange. Go ask around."
Xu Jiancheng didn't care about Jia Yue at all.
It's true that Jia Yue told Aunt Liu that she planned to arrange for Jia Yue to go to her parents' home to be an educated youth and become her nephew's wife for free. However, she only heard it from her stepmother when she was chatting with her biological daughter.
As for why she could hear it.
She installed surveillance equipment in her home.
The stepmother continued, "Although my family is in the next province, it's not far away. I'll ask around and see if we can arrange for them to be in that province."
Xu Jiancheng said nonchalantly, "You can arrange it as you see fit."
Jia Yue didn't say anything, but the next day, her stepmother fell ill. She had diarrhea and was so weak that she couldn't go anywhere. She was so exhausted from the diarrhea that she went to the hospital, where the doctor gave her some medicine and told her to rest for a few days.
The stepmother then started to stay home and rest.
Jia Yue has officially started working.
She was led to a room by a female comrade: "Comrade Xu Jiayue, this is where you work."
In the soap workshop of a daily chemical factory in the 1970s, her workplace was a large room of about 50 square meters, with a huge rectangular wooden table on both sides where female workers sat.
People were packed together, each wearing a white apron. They were quickly filling soap containers with practiced ease, their eyes shining, their faces beaming, and their mouths chattering about everyday matters...
The working environment isn't great, but everyone who works here is filled with hope.
"Officer Zhao has brought the new recruits?" The speaker was Wang Qin, the team leader in charge of this workshop. She was a middle-aged woman, slightly plump.
"Team Leader Wang, Comrade Jiang Lan is going to accompany the army, so her work will be handed over to Comrade Xu Jiayue from now on."
"Alright, Officer Zhao, you can go ahead and get busy. I'll take care of Comrade Xu."
"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Take care.
Jia Yue walked up to Wang Qin and said with a smile, "Team Leader Wang, hello, my name is Xu Jia Yue."
Team Leader Wang said with a smile, "Hello, since you're here, I've come to talk to you about work."
"Thank you for your help, Team Leader Wang."
Under Team Leader Wang's guidance, Jia Yue began to get started with the work. She wasn't stupid, and the work wasn't difficult; it was physical labor. Although it wasn't difficult, Jia Yue couldn't stand it after working for half a day.
Her arm hurts. Although she's recuperating, she can't do it openly. Taking too good a step would be inappropriate. She'll wait a bit longer.
Jia Yue's work has barely gotten on track, and after distributing the candy, she gets along well with her colleagues.
They started chatting, mostly them talking and Jia Yue listening, though of course, they spoke very softly.
"Have you heard? The deputy director of the Organization Department has been taken away for investigation."
"I know. It wasn't just the deputy director; many people from various departments were taken away. I heard they were taken away for bribing the deputy director."
"Does that mean a lot of positions will be vacant?"
They were all very interested! The female factory workers naturally longed for office work.
"What are you thinking! The head of the organization department has a daughter who just graduated this year and is waiting for a job placement! We don't have any connections to get good opportunities."
"That's true, but then again, everyone knows the director has a daughter who needs a job, and the deputy director has just been investigated, so it might be difficult to find a place for his daughter, right?"
"Who knows? It's not really our business."
"Too."
...
On the other side, Xu Jiancheng heard something from Chen Guohong on his way to work.
Chen Guohong approached Xu Jiancheng with a grin: "Jiancheng, have you heard? Something happened at a factory in the north of the city."
"What's up?"
