After dinner, Gu Yue sent Song Chu back to the Agricultural University and left the car for her to use. He then took a taxi back to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
When I got back to the dormitory, everyone was there.
When Niu Yali saw Song Chu's eyes evading, she immediately pulled the bed curtains as if she was getting ready to go to bed.
It was really because Song Chu's sharp words towards her cousin and Mrs. Ji today were so deeply rooted in people's minds that she was afraid that this woman would do the same to her if they disagreed with her.
Song Chu looked at her cowardly look and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
"Chu Chu, you're back." Li Xiuzhi and the other two greeted with a smile.
Song Chu nodded, walked over and sat down, and started talking to the three of them.
"Have your husband and children returned home?" she asked Lin Lifang.
Lin Lifang sighed, "No, they live in a guesthouse near the school. My husband said he wanted to find something to do in Kyoto, and the child doesn't want to leave me."
Although she had no choice but to marry a local man, she still has feelings for him after these years of marriage, especially for her children.
Today, when she saw her child’s eyes filled with tears, she felt very sad.
Seeing this, her husband suggested finding a job in Kyoto so that the family could be together. She couldn't bear to refuse.
Li Xiuzhi looked up when she heard this and asked, "What kind of job does he want to do? Do you have any idea?"
"He just doesn't know what kind of job to find. He heard that there is a construction site recruiting here, so he wants to give it a try tomorrow." Lin Lifang said.
Li Xiuzhi said: "The construction site is indeed hiring, so you can give it a try. If it works, I'll let my man come too."
Her husband is the second son, and her mother-in-law favors the eldest and youngest sons and doesn't care about them.
Her husband had to go to work during the day, and she was afraid that no one would take care of her two sons. She also missed her children very much and always felt uneasy leaving them at home.
If all goes well, she will also let her husband come to Kyoto to work so that the family can be together.
Song Chu had a good relationship with the two of them. He often heard them talk about family matters and knew that their husbands were honest and hardworking people.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to support them to go to college despite the pressure from my family.
After all, many educated youth will never go back after going to college, and it is not popular to get a marriage certificate in the village. These educated youth will choose to remarry or get married after graduating from college.
For this reason, some villagers did not allow the husbands or wives of educated youth to go to college, and many of them were kept in the village.
At least from this point of view, there should be no problem with the character of the two husbands.
"What are your men good at?" she asked.
Lin Lifang smiled and said, "They only know how to farm and have some strength. Country guys don't know anything else."
Li Xiuzhi said: "My husband is the same. He is good at farming and can get full work points every month, but he is not so good at other things. He is the kind of person who keeps silent."
She sighed: "Although I also want him to work so that our family can be reunited and I can take care of the children when I am not in class, I am worried that it will be difficult for him to find a job."
"Yeah, my husband is not very good at talking, so he just wants to go to the construction site to move bricks or something." Lin Lifang said distressedly.
The men themselves feel sorry for each other. Working on a construction site is definitely much harder than farming in the village, but they have no other choice.
Song Chu smiled and said, "I can offer two positions here."
"Ah, Chuchu, is that true? What position?" the two asked.
"The monthly salary is thirty, including food and lodging. If you do a good job, your salary can be increased every quarter."
"If the crops grow well and the experimental plots you are responsible for produce results, you can get bonuses, and there are also benefits during festivals."
She paused and said, "My fourth brother opened an electrical appliance factory and also needs workers, but the workers on the production line must have at least a junior high school diploma or above."
"We also need odd jobs and gatekeepers. The monthly salary is 20 yuan, including food and accommodation. There will be gifts during festivals, but there will be no bonuses."
"Are you interested?" Her two brothers needed people now, especially the eldest brother.
People’s concepts have not changed yet. They always feel that private enterprises are not as good as state-owned factories, so they still want to have a stable job.
In particular, there are even fewer people who go to farm and raise livestock. People in the suburbs of Kyoto either continue to farm with the team to earn work points, or want to find a job in the city. It is difficult to find people who are diligent and good at farming.
So when she heard the two people talking about this, she brought it up. No matter what, these two jobs were not as hard and tiring as working on a construction site.
Sure enough, both of them showed excitement when they heard it.
“Chu Chu, can we men really go to work at your brother’s place?”
Song Chu nodded: "Of course, it depends on where they want to go. I will help arrange it then."
Li Xiuzhi smiled and said, "I will write to him tomorrow to ask him. I think he might choose the one that grows crops."
Although farming is more tiring than guarding the gate, the salary is higher, there are salary increases every quarter, and there are bonuses. As a man is not good at socializing, this job is perfect for him.
The key is that food and accommodation are included, which can save you another expense.
You have to know that her father works in a leather factory, and his monthly salary is only a little over 30 yuan now. He is an old worker, and he only earns about 20 yuan when he first joins the factory, and he has to eat by himself.
Lin Lifang smiled and said, "My husband will probably choose farming. Our family is short of money right now, and living in Kyoto is expensive."
She doesn't need to pay for schooling, but she wants to wait until her child is older to send him to school, which will be very expensive, so she has to save some money.
Song Chu was not surprised by their choice. "Okay, if you want to farm, that would be even better. My eldest brother is in need of such talents."
"If you and your husband are free tomorrow at noon, I will take you there to have a look. If it's suitable, you can stay." She said to Lin Lifang.
"It's okay, we will go with you tomorrow at noon. Thank you so much, Chuchu." Lin Lifang said with feeling. In this way, her man would not have to go to the construction site to find a job anymore.
Song Chu smiled and waved his hand, "We are all friends, no need to be polite, and my eldest brother is indeed short of people, you can be regarded as helping me."
Although she said this, Li Xiuzhi and Lin Lifang were still very grateful.
With such high salaries and benefits, even without men, they would definitely be able to recruit people. Song Chu was taking special care of them.
If this kind of job existed in the county where they live, there would definitely be a lot of people vying for it.
After hearing this, Cao Hui couldn't help but ask Song Chu, "Chu Chu, can my brother try the job of guarding the gate?"
"He didn't pass the college entrance examination this time, so it's not a big deal for him to just sit around at home now. He's a person who can sit still, so there's no problem for him to watch over the gate."
"Of course, if it's inconvenient, forget it," she added.
