Chapter 48
When we returned to the compound, people had not yet dispersed. They were waiting for the arrival of another honor winner!
As soon as Bi Chunliu entered the yard, everyone's eyes looked at her like searchlights.
!!!
It's quite scary when you look at it suddenly...
"Chun Liu girl, I heard from Mu Sheng that you have the same silk banner. Let's see it!" Aunt Zhang was just unhappy with Aunt Wang showing off her son's silk banner. It's not just Li Mu Sheng who has it. I heard that it was Chun Liu girl who got it. If this were my Jianyuan, huh~
Bi Chunliu took out the rolled-up silk banner. Bi Qiuguo took it and volunteered to show it to everyone.
Aunt Zhang: "Well, it's a banner sent by a police officer after all, so just look at it!"
Aunt Wang: "Really? I feel like the one given to my son is the same. I don't know what material it is made of, but it feels soft and slippery!"
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "...Look at how he's showing off to Old Wang. Isn't this a great honor for our eldest son?"
"Hahaha, that's right. My son Musheng said that Director Xiong gave them a day off. My mother and I are going back to our hometown tomorrow to show my old man how well I raised our son and how capable he is!" Aunt Wang thought to herself, no wonder she heard a magpie calling on the roof so early this morning. There really is good news.
Aunt Liu pointed at Aunt Wang and glanced at Aunt Zhang. "It's time to show him. Let him know whether his son is capable or not. It's not about those things that divide the family property."
Uncle Qi, who wasn't working today, continued, "It's all about the honor. Aunt Wang, your son Mu Sheng has received this honor, so he should get a raise today, right? I heard Director Xiong said that even if there's no raise, there will be other good things. If you get any good prize money, please show it to us!"
Although Aunt Wang was happy, she wasn't so happy that she lost her mind. "Old Qi, you're exaggerating. With this honor, we don't expect anything else. Besides, how can we know what the leaders think? We don't ask about their affairs. From now on, as long as my son Mu Sheng does his job well, gets married, and has a grandson, I'll be satisfied..."
Uncle Qi: "..." Grandson, grandson, why don't I have a grandson! He glared at Qi Chao. This useless guy was actually controlled by a woman!
"Aunt Wang, there might be some good stuff. I remember someone from my mother's family told me that someone in their factory won a banner and was awarded a job. Even if it's just a temporary job..." Uncle Qi's daughter-in-law Deng Hong mentioned on the side.
"Xiao Deng, are you serious? Did you really get a job?"
Deng Hong: "Yeah, it seems like a temporary job."
"It's good to be a temporary worker. It's so hard to find a job right now..." Someone from the neighboring compound, who was hanging out in their compound, sighed and then said, "Auntie Wang, if the factory really gives you a job, will you work? If not, can you transfer it to my family?"
"What you said is really interesting. We're from the same compound and haven't said anything yet, so how do you know that Aunt Wang won't go..." Bai Xingzi pinched a corner of the banner and asked, "Chunliu, I heard from my Xiangnan that she was there the day you went to see the police. How come my Xiangnan isn't here either?"
This is a job. If Xiangbei has a job, his family won’t have to find connections for him!
Du Ling sneered, "Sister Bai, are you kidding me? Everyone in our compound was still at home that day, so how could that not be considered emboldening them? This is none of our business. We can't expect to benefit from it without doing anything, right?"
The other few people covered their mouths and laughed.
"Oh! That's not what I meant. I'm not saying... This is at least an honor, right?" Bai Xingzi gritted her teeth. What does this have to do with you?
Bi Chunliu asked Bi Qiuguo to put away the banner. "Ladies and gentlemen, our textile factory has never rewarded people for work just because of a banner. Let's not argue over something that has no basis... By the way, Sister Deng Hong, I heard from a colleague that your school is hiring teachers. Is that true?"
I'm talking about all this nonsense just because I don't want to talk about grandchildren. Bringing up this topic is not good for my family.
"Recruiting teachers?" Bai Xingzi looked at Deng Hong. Although being a teacher nowadays was not a very good job, elementary school was not the same as junior high school or high school. The key was to quickly settle a job for the children at home so that they could have more financial freedom.
Someone asked Deng Hong, "Deng Hong, is your school really recruiting?" Her niece was about to graduate and hadn't found a job yet. Her brother and sister-in-law from her mother's side were very worried. If this was true, she would go to her mother's side and tell them later.
Deng Hong glanced at Bi Chunliu casually and replied uncertainly, "It seems so. You know, I usually only focus on teaching and don't care whether I recruit or not... I can't be sure."
Was this intentional or accidental on the part of the Bi family's eldest daughter? Not many people knew about this, so how did she know? She also wanted to get her third sister, Deng Shan, to take the exam. How could this girl mess with so many people at once? Deng Hong was worried about her third sister's grades.
"There is no news now. Let me ask for everyone tomorrow..." Deng Hong made an excuse and decided to delay it for a few days until the exam was over.
"Xiang Wencheng! Give it back to me. My third aunt bought it for me!"
Qi Chao and Deng Hong's daughter Qi Yalan shouted loudly to Lu Jinjin's son Xiang Wencheng, asking him to return her bamboo dragonfly to her.
Xiang Wencheng ran all over the yard, "Lululu, I won't give it to you!"
Qi Yalan frowned, tears welling up in her eyes, "That was newly bought for me by my third aunt..."
"Qi Yalan, you're such a liar! I'll just play for a little while and give it to you right away. You clearly said at school that we could each have a little while, and you've been playing for a long time and you still won't let me play! You're a big liar! I'm going to tell everyone else! Ah—"
Xiang Wencheng was caught by Lv Jinjin, who snatched the bamboo dragonfly from his hand and handed it to the person next to him. This little girl from the Qi family cries at the slightest provocation, why bother provoking her!
Qi Yalan was called a liar by her playmates and cried sadly, "I didn't lie to you... wuwuwu... My third aunt said that when she becomes our teacher, she will buy me another one. Isn't it okay for me to give this to you then, wuwuwu... Mom, tell Xiang Wencheng that I didn't lie..." Qi Yalan cried and threw herself into Deng Hong's arms.
Deng Hong lowered her head to coax her daughter and laughed dryly, "You child, you've cried yourself silly, what are you talking about? Don't cry, your third aunt said that mom will buy you another one!" She didn't dare to look at other people's expressions.
Everyone: “…………”
Qi Chao took his daughter and held her in his arms to comfort her. He tried to smooth things over for his wife, saying, "Ah Hong, is Yalan sleepy? She's so sleepy she's talking nonsense. Go and make the quilt." My daughter, you really... have let your mother down...
Everyone: “…………”
Tsk! Seeing that Qi Chao can make up such nonsense, it seems that the teacher recruitment thing is definitely true.
"Oh, it's so late, and you haven't cooked yet." The woman from the neighboring compound, who had just been anxiously asking about work, slapped her head and realized she had to go back to her parents' home. It's better to register sooner rather than later.
Bai Xingzi: "Xiangbei and Xiangnan are coming back soon, so I have to go home and cook." She quickly went back to talk to the head of the family and see if she could find some connection.
"Me too, me too." Several of the people who had joined in the fun found excuses to go home.
Seeing this, Bi Chunliu followed the crowd and retreated. Now that everyone's attention was no longer on the banner, of course she had to hurry home. They say that making a fortune is easy, but since she hadn't made any money yet, she had to keep a low profile.
In Qi Chao and Deng Hong's room.
Qi Chao patted Qi Yalan gently and hummed an unknown tune softly.
Deng Hong's face looked grim. She was wondering how Bi Chunliu knew that their school was recruiting teachers. The news only came out yesterday and everyone kept it a secret. Only the teachers knew about it.
Fingers tapped slowly on the table, revealing the owner's restlessness...
So how did that girl Bi Chunliu know...
This time we're hiring a lot more people than we've done in the past two or three years. We're hiring four people, three teaching staff and one in logistics. No one wanted the logistics position because it was reserved, with the principal's approval, for his uncle, a disabled veteran who had been out of the army for many years. He didn't get much pay and did backbreaking work, so there wasn't much competition.
As for the remaining three teaching positions...everyone has their own opinions and skills.
Deng Hong sent a letter home last night, so Deng Shan went to register today. Deng Hong was irritated. If she knew who leaked the news, she would have all the teachers at school scold her!
After coaxing his daughter to sleep, Qi Chao whispered, "Don't worry about it. It's hers and no one can take it away from her. If she doesn't pass the exam, it's because Third Sister isn't good enough. It's useless for you to worry about it."
Deng Hong glanced at him and said unhappily, "I'm annoyed because I know Ah Shan is no good. Look at her. She doesn't study hard, she just dresses up and looks good. It would be fine if she could find a capable partner. Why is she just dressing up? This morning I asked her to write "study hard" and then make a sentence. Do you know what she said?"
The wife and sister of a primary school Chinese teacher are like this. They may be asked questions at any time...
Qi Chao mentally reviewed the stroke order he had learned carefully, just in case his wife asked him later, "What did she say?"
“She said, you made me make a sentence with the word study hard!!!”
"???" My third sister-in-law is really brave...
Deng Hong held her forehead with her hand. "I'm so angry I almost laughed. Besides, there are only three characters in total, and except for Xi's stroke order, the other two are all wrong! Won't it be exposed immediately during the exam?! If I had known this would happen, I might as well let Ah Xing take the exam!"
Qi Chao: "..." It should be said that Ah Shan is a capable person, much more capable than himself. She is the only one in Ah Hong's family who dares to make Ah Hong angry like this.
"Then why don't we let Ah Xing go? Doesn't Ah Xing have a job?"
Deng Hong immediately objected, "No! She's already married. Even if she doesn't have a job, there's no need to worry. Ah Shan is the most important thing right now."
What else did she say? The son of a director of the Education Bureau whom she knew was three years older than Ah Shan and was looking for a partner, so Ah Shan had to be the only one to work at the school.
Sigh...it would be great if Ayao was my sister. Ayao is so smart, it would definitely work. Ah Shan is so stupid...
