Chapter 20 Selling the Textile Mill Job
Wen Shuyao and her daughter had just put breakfast on the table when Jiang Chengyue, his father and his son came back from exercising. Wen Shuyao urged them to wash up quickly before eating. After dinner, she and Jiang Chengyue went to work. The two sons were still on vacation, so she asked them to stay at home with their sister.
Father Jiang was eating breakfast, his eyes flashing with heartache for his daughter. Jiang Ruoxi looked at Father Jiang and said softly, "Dad, now our family is reunited, and the past sufferings are over. You and Mom should eat quickly, or you will be late for work!" Jiang Chengyue nodded repeatedly.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Jiang Jinghuai said, "Little sister, our parents are going to work soon. If you want to go somewhere, your second brother and I will accompany you!" His second brother Jiang Jingyi also echoed.
"Brother, second brother, I have to go to the textile factory soon. I am going to sell my job. In less than two months, I will have to go to Liao Province with Brother Lu to join the army. I will have to quit my job by then. It would be better for me to sell my job now so that I can get some money!"
"Okay, we'll go with you later, and go shopping while you're at it to see if there's anything missing at home and buy it back together!" Jiang Jinghuai said.
"Okay, we'll leave after our parents go to work!" Jiang Ruoxi replied.
After breakfast, Jiang Chengyue and his wife went out to work. The three siblings cleaned the table, washed the dishes, locked the door and prepared to go out.
As soon as I went out, I saw the neighbor's aunt: "Girl, you are the long-lost daughter of the Jiang family!"
"Yes, auntie, my name is Jiang Ruoxi!"
"That's great, so beautiful, girl, do you have a partner? If not, I'll introduce one to you!"
"No need, auntie, I have a partner, and we are going to get married!"
"What does your partner do? You're so pretty, don't let anyone cheat you."
"No, auntie. My partner is also a soldier. My marriage to him is protected by the state. Don't worry!"
"That's good, that's good, Ruoxi, if you need any help and your mother is not home, come find me next door. My last name is Wang!"
"Okay, Aunt Wang, I will definitely come to you if there is anything. Just don't think I'm annoying you then!" Jiang Ruoxi said to Aunt Wang with a chuckle.
"Auntie likes you very much, how can I find you annoying!"
"Okay, Auntie, we have something else to do, so we'll go do it first. We'll talk to you again when we're free!" Jiang Ruoxi said goodbye to Auntie Wang.
"Okay, you brothers and sisters can go and do whatever you want, don't worry about aunt!"
"Then we'll leave now, we'll talk later!"
"Get busy!"
After the three siblings arrived at the textile factory, Jiang Ruoxi found the factory director and explained their purpose. The factory manager was secretly delighted, but pretended to be hesitant and said, "This job is a stable one, are you really willing to sell it?" Jiang Ruoxi nodded firmly.
The director of the textile factory saw that there was no one outside the door, so he said to Jiang Ruoxi, "Comrade Jiang Ruoxi, it doesn't matter who you sell your job to, why don't you sell it to me? I have a daughter who just graduated. If she can't find a job within a month, she will have to go to the countryside. She has been raised by me, her mother and her brother since she was a child. How can she do farm work? To put it bluntly, her mother washes her clothes for her. If she goes to the countryside, I don't know if she can hold on."
"Okay, Director, it doesn't matter who I sell my job to. Now my job as a publicity officer can earn about 1,200 yuan. How about this? I'll sell it to you for 800 yuan, plus two cloth coupons, 5 jin of meat coupons and two industrial coupons. Is that okay with you?" Jiang Ruoxi thought about it in her mind and said to the director.
The factory manager thought about it and said, "Okay, 800 yuan plus two cloth coupons, 5 jin meat coupons and two industrial coupons. I don't have enough money on me. Please wait for a while. I will go home to get the money and coupons and be back soon!"
"Okay, Director, go ahead. I'm going to say goodbye to my colleagues in the Propaganda Department and pack my things. I'll come back to see you later!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the office later!"
Jiang Jinghuai and Jiang Jingyi accompanied Jiang Ruoxi to the Propaganda Department to pack up their things. As soon as they entered the Propaganda Department, they heard Sister Li from the Propaganda Department ask, "Xiao Jiang, why haven't you been here for several days?"
"Ah! Sister Li, my family situation is special. I've found a soldier as my partner, and I'm going to join the army in a while, so I'm here today to quit my job and sell it at the same time!"
"Xiao Jiang, this is a stable job, are you just going to sell it like this?"
"Why keep it if you don't want to sell it? Are you waiting for my adoptive parents' sister to snatch it away? It was because my sister wanted to take my job that I wanted to find a partner to marry. Who knew that I would find a soldier? After we get married, I have to follow the army. I can't let my sister get away with it!"
"That's right. Have you sold your job? If not, sell it to me!" said Sister Li.
"Sister Li, I've sold my job!"
"Who did you sell it to?" Sister Li asked anxiously.
"Sold it to the factory director's daughter!"
When Sister Li heard that the property was being sold to the factory director's family, she immediately put her mind at ease. After packing up her things, Jiang Ruoxi and her two siblings returned to the factory director's office. The factory director happened to have returned, so he took out the money and bills that had been agreed upon earlier and handed them to Jiang Ruoxi.
After coming out of the textile factory, Jiang Jinghuai and Jiang Jingyi looked at the money and bills in Jiang Ruoxi's hand and said, "Little sister, put them away quickly. Now you can buy more for your dowry." Jiang Ruoxi smiled.
Then, the three siblings walked briskly to the bustling market together. There are people coming and going here, and the various hawking sounds are heard one after another. The dazzling array of goods is dazzling, including brightly colored cloths, fresh fruits and vegetables, fragrant pastries and snacks, and so on.
They moved among the crowd, carefully selecting items that were missing from their homes. Sometimes he stopped to ask about prices, sometimes he bargained with the stall owners, he was very busy. After careful selection, they finally purchased all the items they needed. The three satisfied brothers and sisters went home happily with the items they bought.
At noon, Jiang's father and mother did not come home for lunch. The three siblings simply cooked a meal, and after eating, they cleaned up and went for a nap.
After lunch break, the three siblings decided that Jiang Jinghuai and Jiang Jingyi would cook tonight. The brothers wanted their sister to taste their cooking skills!
