Every family has its own problems. Zhou Jiao has seen a lot of trivial matters concerning going to the countryside to seek opportunities. The busiest person in her family right now is her mother, Miao Lishan.
Yes, that’s right, it’s her biological mother!
Being able to join the art troupe is both respectable and affordable, and it is indeed a popular job.
If Zhou Xiaozheng hadn't been at home, any acquaintance would have come to contact him.
Therefore, Zhou Jiao suspected that the other party's words today were not aimed at the wine, but at her. Unfortunately, she was really powerless.
Just because Zhou Jiao didn't accept the challenge doesn't mean she will give up.
When it was almost time to get off work, Jin Lijuan gave him a chance to go to the bathroom.
"Jiaojiao, I heard your mom's art troupe is recruiting female soldiers, right?"
The other party was her eldest aunt's niece, so it was not surprising to hear such news. Zhou Jiao nodded without hesitation, "It seems to be the case, but I'm not sure."
Under normal circumstances, Jin Lijuan would have understood the hidden meaning long ago, but today she looked surprised and asked, "I remember that none of your relatives seem to have daughters, right?"
How do you say this?
Apart from the Cheng family and her family, which all have monks, the Zhang family still has a few flower buds.
"Can you help me ask if there is any way to get my child into the art troupe? We don't have to go back to the capital, we can go out of town. I heard that the troupe over there also has places available this time."
Everyone is smart. Zhou Jiao doesn't want to offend anyone, but she also doesn't want to let her mother take risks.
She frowned and paused for a long time. "I guess there's no hope. If they hadn't gone to the countryside yet, and the child had special talents, there would be a chance for him to join the art troupe. But this is half-baked. With my mother's ability, I'm not underestimating her, but it's very difficult!"
She looked at the other person and said, "How about I tell my mom about this when I get home from get off work and see what she says?"
Jin Lijuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "Okay, I won't say thank you. I also know this is difficult. I've failed many times before. Sigh..."
Seeing the other woman frown and sigh, Zhou Jiao wanted to remind her to let her daughter come back to take over the job first, and then find a temporary job for her second son. Given the couple's many years of connections, finding a temporary worker shouldn't be a big problem.
But then she thought, maybe they just look down on temporary workers from the beginning, or maybe they don't want their son to be a temporary worker. After hesitating for a long time, she didn't say anything more.
No matter how close or distant the relationship, people's hearts are unpredictable. Zhou Jiao didn't want her good intentions to backfire. Society is too complicated, so she decided to just be a quiet bystander.
After dinner, Miao Lishan listened to her daughter's words and kept shouting "Ouch... Ouch... It's so annoying...", which made the whole family laugh.
"Mom, it's such a big deal! This is just wishful thinking. If it were so easy to solve, would she have come to me? I'm just telling you this to let you know, so you don't get soft-hearted and help others, and then not think of a good reason later."
"Will it affect your relationship with your colleagues?"
Zhou Jiao glanced at her speechlessly.
Zhang Guoqing said with a smile, "Mom, if Jiaojiao wants you to solve a problem, she won't mention it first. She will definitely ask if there are any vacancies in your company recently."
Miao Lishan patted her forehead. "That's right. I've been afraid of being asked questions lately, and I can't react all of a sudden. Jiaojiao, will it really not affect your relationship with your colleagues? If you want to help, Mom is not helpless."
Zhou Jiao shook her head. "Forget it. Once you start this, there will be a lot of trouble later. I think that girl is not reliable either. If she doesn't cause you trouble, I'm fine. We're just colleagues, that's all."
"real?"
Zhou Xiaozheng waved his hand to stop his wife. It was obvious that his daughter Jiaojiao didn't care about it, so why did he need to take action?
"Brother Zheng, you have no idea. In just this past week, I've been slapped so many times that I can't even count them. Xiaoying also came to see me yesterday and scolded me until she cried before leaving. Why do so many things happen?"
Zhou Jiao frowned, "Lin Liying?"
"Yeah, do you think she's sick? She actually came to me on behalf of her good sister, but when I asked her, she thought I was really stupid. Wasn't that old woman surnamed Dai the one who stole your dad from me before..."
"Lin Lishan! Enough!" Zhou Xiaozheng saw that even his grandchildren began to cover their mouths and laugh, and immediately shouted to stop them. This silly woman, everything slipped out.
Zhou Jiao burst out laughing. Oh, her own mother! No wonder she had argued with Lin Liying and even made her cry. The rival who had touched her father's heart was not her mother's mortal enemy!
Zhang Guoqing didn't dare to laugh at his father-in-law, so he immediately changed the subject. "Jiaojiao, why did your colleague go to so much trouble to find you? Wouldn't it be better to just find a temporary worker and send him back to the city?"
Ping An shook his head. "Dad, you don't understand this. I heard from my buddies that it's hard to find temporary jobs in the city now. I have a buddy whose cousin prepared for temporary jobs two years in advance. If anyone gets in through connections now and is reported, it's all over."
"Yes, Shitou said in the letter that it's very difficult to join the army now. I see so many brothers and sisters in the compound have joined the army, so it's very difficult for people from outside to join the army."
It's true! Zhang Guoqing thinks that what his little Liuyi said does make sense. What other careers can you choose now besides being a worker?
"At first, I thought our Jiaojiao was not happy about joining the art troupe, but look how popular she is now." Miao Lishan still remembered the regrets of so many years and couldn't help showing off.
Zhou Jiao looked at her amusedly, "Mom, do you think your daughter is suitable for showing off on stage?"
"You little bastard, do you know how to use words?" Miao Lishan glared at her with amusement and said unwillingly, "Only you have your father's good brains, otherwise I would drag you into the troupe. Just think about how beautiful my daughter is. She doesn't need to dance or sing, just standing there quietly is enough."
Zhou Jiao winked at Zhou Xiaozheng, "Dad, did you hear that? It seems your daughter is amazing! What do you think now?"
This made the whole family burst into laughter.
After stopping laughing, Miao Lishan brought up Jin Lijuan again and asked if she should call Nancy's aunt Liu Xiu. After all, they were not only colleagues but also relatives.
Zhou Jiao shook her head. She didn't agree to bring up this topic. If her aunt wanted to help, she would have called her mother herself a long time ago.
Now that you've called, what can she say?
As soon as the call was connected, it was obvious that you had to help, so why bother? What was going on? It was better to keep it to yourself and let it pass quietly.
Human desires are endless, but everything has a limit. Going overboard is not a good thing. She gave a negative answer and kindly reminded him to find another way, and that was about it.
Her father had always been known for prioritizing business and acting according to principles. This was common knowledge, and she was too busy trying to protect it, so how could she bear to have it destroyed?
