"You kid." Old Mrs. Su couldn't help but laugh at her.
The sadness in Qin Qin's eyes was also alleviated a lot by her words.
Although he didn't know where Aunt Qin's sadness came from, Zhou Yi could feel it clearly.
But she didn't want Aunt Qin to be immersed in such sadness. Seeing that the sadness in her eyes faded a little, Zhou Yi continued:
"Aunt Qin, how about you provide the ingredients in a few days and I'll be your chef and give you a feast? I'm so greedy."
Qin Qin was amused by Zhou Yi's mischief. This child is really thoughtful.
"Okay, you must come, or I'll be angry."
"Xiaoyi can cook?" Old Mrs. Su said in surprise.
Of course, she could see that Zhou Yi was comforting her poor daughter-in-law, and she looked at Zhou Yi with gratitude.
"Mom, Xiaoyi's cooking skills are amazing. Even the chefs in state-owned restaurants can't cook as deliciously as she does." Qin Qin finally managed a slight smile.
He also briefly mentioned the visit to the military compound the day before to express gratitude, and once again emphasized Zhou Yi's cooking skills.
"Oh? You've all eaten? I told you I wanted to go with you, but you insisted on making me stay in the hospital for another day. Humph." Old Mrs. Su pretended to be angry and turned to Zhou Yi and said, "Xiaoyi, you can't be like this. If you have delicious food, don't let me, an old man, leave it to you."
"Hahaha, I can't do without you. I'll come to your house for a meal after I'm done with my work these few days." Zhou Yi's eyes were cunning and mischievous.
"Is this considered freeloading? Then you'd better come and eat every day, so that we can enjoy the delicious food." Qin Qin finally regained some of his normal expression.
"Xiaoyi, what are you busy with these days? The old lady can't wait." Old Mrs. Su actually started to act coquettishly.
Zhou Yi smiled as he got another old child.
"I just arrived in Jinghai and want to do something to make some money. I can't just sit at home and eat all my money every day." Zhou Yi said with a smile.
"This is an easy matter. The Calligraphy Association has just been established and needs young people like you who are capable and motivated. You can join the Calligraphy Association." Old Mrs. Su extended an olive branch.
It seems that Mrs. Su has a lot of say in the calligraphy association.
"Mrs. Su, thank you for your kindness. I am used to being free and I cannot stay in the Calligraphy Association. Besides, I only wrote for fun when I was a child, and it was more improvisational. I really have never thought about developing in the calligraphy world." Zhou Yi declined.
"Well, are you interested in the Municipal Cultural Bureau? There is a vacant position in the bureau now, and I can recommend you." Old Mrs. Su continued to enthusiastically recommend a job to her.
Zhou Yi knew that both the Calligraphy Association and the Municipal Cultural Bureau offered salaries of around 100 yuan, which was already quite good work at that time. She repeatedly refused, which seemed somewhat ungrateful, but she really had no interest in this.
"Mrs. Su, to be honest, I have something I want to do, and I've been busy with this these days." Zhou Yi had no choice but to express his thoughts directly.
"Oh? Then what are you going to do?" Old Mrs. Su was not angry because of Zhou Yi's refusal.
"To be honest, I want to start a garment business. I will design some styles myself and then find a garment factory to make and sell them." Zhou Yi answered honestly.
"Isn't that just a self-employed person? Xiaoyi, why don't you reconsider it? The Calligraphy Association and the Cultural Bureau are both good."
When Qin Qin heard that Zhou Yi wanted to start his own business, he instinctively tried to persuade him.
"Yes, Xiaoyi, being a self-employed person is not a good choice. You will be criticized by others." Old Mrs. Su also advised.
"I like to be free. People will say whatever I do, but I just let them be and be myself."
Zhou Yi knew that not being understood was temporary. Before long, the first group of people to become rich would be self-employed people. By then, they would naturally understand.
"Since you've made up your mind, we support you. If you have any difficulties, you must tell us." Qin Qin respected Zhou Yi's decision and took the lead in placing an order. "I want to order a set of clothes once they're made."
"Aunt Qin, when the clothes are made, I will give you a set. You will definitely look beautiful and cool in them." Zhou Yi smiled. He would never get tired of flattering a woman.
"Hahaha, okay, you must remember it." Qin Qin finally laughed heartily.
Zhou Yi saw that Mrs. Su was not in a very good mood. She was probably worried that her career as a self-employed person would not be easy. She held Mrs. Su's hand and said:
"Mrs. Su, although I'm not interested in this, I would like to recommend someone to you. She is definitely more suitable than me."
As expected, Mrs. Su came to her senses and asked, "Oh? Who is it?"
Zhou Yi turned around and pulled Tang Xiaoqing to Old Madam Su and introduced her:
"It's my sister-in-law, Tang Xiaoqing. Her calligraphy in the Slender Gold style is quite spiritual. Elder Li personally praised her, and she also won an excellent award in the county this time."
Old Madam Su looked at Tang Xiaoqing and nodded. This girl was indeed very pretty and she was also to her liking. "Since Xiao Li thinks she's good, then she must be good."
Mrs. Su thought for a moment and then said, "Ms. Tang, the regular salary is 120 yuan a month, and the trial salary is 80 yuan a month. Are you willing to accept it?"
Tang Xiaoqing was very surprised when she heard the salary. She sighed that there were indeed many opportunities in the city, but she did not show it on her face. She said softly, "Thank you, Teacher Su, for giving me this opportunity. I am willing to do it."
"Very good, very good. Feng County is indeed a place with talented people and good land." Old Mrs. Su was also quite satisfied with Tang Xiaoqing.
Just then, many people seemed to walk into the exhibition hall.
Zhou Yi and Tang Xiaoqing walked to the door of the lounge and took a look. Sure enough, many people came in, including men, women, young and old.
