Remember [67♂] in one second, thank you everyone for your support. Then, changing the subject, "By the way, Director, is our factory still hiring? My son Zhi saw that I was sick this time and he knows how to care for people. He's preparing to come back to work to help me out."
"Wow, Zhi is so sensible!" Director Xu said in surprise.
"Of course! After I make money, I save my salary," Su Yu said with a smile.
Director Xu's eyes widened in surprise. Could that scoundrel really be this good?
However, seeing Su Yu like this, she felt that Su Yu was probably protecting her younger siblings' reputation and was doing it on purpose. This honest child, so devoted to her younger siblings, is truly admirable.
"Our textile factory really doesn't have any suitable positions. The easy jobs are all done by the female workers. Right now, the most they can do is load and unload goods in the yard. You, Zhi, definitely can't handle that. Let's wait until a more suitable position comes along." That's true, but Director Xu thought that was just talk. If there were really good positions, they would all be taken by people with ability and connections. Why would Su Zhi get to do them? Besides, the factory still has to take exams to recruit workers, and that good-for-nothing from the Su family probably doesn't have the ability.
"Loaders?"
Su Yu was slightly taken aback. The loading and unloading workers in the factory were all men, young and strong. This was truly hard work.
So what if it's hard work? It's a man's duty to do some hard work. If others can do it, why can't we?
As for feeling sorry for him, Su Yu didn't think that way. She was just worried about her own weak body. As for Su Zhi, she felt that since he was so well-nourished, it was necessary for him to come out and do some physical labor. A man has to be tough on himself to succeed in the future.
“Director, then I’ll let my son Zhi give it a try. This kid is so stubborn, no matter how I try to persuade him, he insists on coming out to work. Let him try, and if he knows when to give up, he’ll save me some trouble in the future. I want to focus on my work now, so I really can’t manage them like I used to.”
Su Yu said earnestly.
Seeing her troubled expression, Director Xu nodded and said, "Alright, then let Zhi come and give it a try. But he'll be an apprentice in the loading and unloading team, and the salary won't be high."
"It's alright, it's alright, let him give it a try," Su Yu said with a smile. How can he just give it a try? If you're going to do it, you should keep doing it.
Seeing her like this, Director Xu sighed and said, "You're so worried about your brothers and sisters that you can't even take care of yourself. You should also urge Old Wu's family to get married soon so you can take care of yourself."
Director Xu used to be unhappy with these words, but after talking with Su Yu today, he felt that this girl was really congenial. Her words were comforting, and she seemed to be a sincere person. Moreover, as a leader who cared about the workers, he felt he should at least give her a reminder.
The Wu family? Su Yu's mind immediately flashed back to her. Wu Guozhi from the Wu family was a mechanic at the provincial capital's machinery factory. He was also the eldest son in his family, with several younger siblings. The only difference was that he had an older mother above him. Wu Guozhi and the original owner of this body met at a union social event. No female worker paid any attention to Wu Guozhi, and no male worker paid any attention to the original owner either, so Wu Guozhi settled for her and they started dating. They had been dating for five years, but Wu Guozhi had never mentioned marriage. The original owner, worried about her younger siblings, hadn't brought it up either.
However, she didn't take it to heart at all. The original owner's boyfriend, Wu Guozhi, wasn't even a boyfriend; he was just a backup plan. He was lukewarm towards her, and even on a date, she had to buy him sunflower seeds.
Of course, she couldn't say that to Director Xu. She said righteously, "Director, I'm not thinking about anything right now. My heart is with the factory. I haven't even properly repaid our factory yet, so how can I think about so much? Comrade Wu Guozhi is a comrade with high ideological awareness. He knows what I'm thinking, and he will definitely understand me and wait for me. If he can't wait and marries someone else, it only shows that we are not on the same page and cannot be revolutionary comrades."
"Su Yu, I really misjudged you before. You are such a good comrade. There is no one in our factory with such high ideological awareness as you."
"Director Xu remarked with emotion. He's even disregarded his own marriage for the sake of the factory. How noble is that?"
Su Yu smiled shyly. She had no choice. Firstly, she simply couldn't marry the original owner's scumbag boyfriend. Secondly, Wu Guozhi was currently two-timing her and wouldn't marry her either. Since she wouldn't ultimately marry Wu Guozhi, she couldn't be the one left out. So, she had to sacrifice Comrade Wu Guozhi. After all, if he got married, he'd be seen as unreliable.
After finishing her business, Su Yu left the factory to go home. She was a little hungry after leaving so early in the morning.
Just as she stepped out of the factory gate, she suddenly remembered something and decided to wait there.
Sure enough, not long after the work bell rang, Su Dazhi rushed out from inside.
Su Yu smiled kindly, "Dazhi, time to get off work."
Su Dazhi was rushing home for dinner when he saw Su Yu and stopped in his tracks. "Sister, what brings you here? Why didn't you tell me you were being discharged from the hospital?"
"If I stay with you, you'll be neglecting your work," Su Yu said with a smile. "I just went to see Director Xu to see if I could find Zhi a job. Once Zhi finds a job, I can take better care of you. Look at you, you've even lost weight lately."
These days, there's not much oil or fat in the diet, and men have to exert a lot of energy. Even if you go hungry for a day, you'll lose a few ounces of weight. Su Dazhi's cheeks look a bit sunken now.
