Chapter 125 Staying in the Valley for a Lifetime
Chen Yi glanced at her and thought that this child was lucky.
I guess Fang's mother must have put a lot of effort into getting Fang Xiaoli back to the city.
The money spent and the favors owed in the process are probably not ordinary.
She asked, "Where are you going to work after you come back?"
Fang Xiaoli sighed, "Everything else is fine, but I get upset when I mention this! My mom found me a job at a steel mill, and she actually asked me to be an apprentice in the workshop!"
"I……"
She was helpless, angry, and at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Looking at Fang Xiaoli's small arms and legs, Chen Yi hesitated and asked, "Auntie, did you really say that?"
This is too...
How can this little girl do a job that even teenage boys are unwilling to do?
Fang Xiaoli was also speechless. "There's nothing I can do. All my money has been spent on finding connections. Now there's only one job left. I have to bite the bullet and do it even if I don't want to."
Although she didn't know how much money her family spent to mobilize their connections, she had an idea of it.
Now that she can get a chance to return to the city, she won't be picky anymore. Just having a job is enough.
Besides, Fang's mother promised her that she would transfer her to another job in more than half a year.
All of this costs money, so it's impossible to just adjust it.
Hearing this, Chen Yi was silent for a moment, and the two continued to eat.
Looking at Fang Xiaoli's positive and sunny attitude, she couldn't help but laugh along.
It was almost dark when Fang Xiaoli went home. If she didn't go home soon, her mother would be worried.
Chen Yi didn't try to persuade her to stay. She sent her to the door before leaving.
At eight o'clock in the evening, He Mingcheng finally came back. He had a business trip the next day, so he was busy at work all day.
"Have you eaten?" Chen Yi asked when she saw that he was busy and exhausted.
She specially prepared some dishes in the kitchen so that they could be eaten directly after being heated up.
"I can just cook some noodles myself." He Mingcheng changed his clothes and didn't want his wife to do the work.
Chen Yi held him back and said, "There's food in the pot in the kitchen, just heat it up."
I usually prepare instant noodles at home, but I’m afraid I’ll have to cook again in a hurry, so it’s faster to make noodles this way.
He Mingcheng obediently ate the potatoes and chicken legs, then came out and asked, "Why did you eat this? I don't remember there was any chicken at home."
"Oh, Director Ma from our company gave me two chicken legs today. She bought the chicken."
At this point, Chen Yi continued, "Fang Xiaoli is here today too. Do you remember her? She was from Xiaohe Brigade, the educated youth who went to the countryside with me."
Hearing this, He Mingcheng thought for a moment and said, "Are you saying that I'm the old bachelor?"
When this was mentioned, both of them laughed.
When she was with He Mingcheng, Fang Xiaoli said that the team leader sold Chen Yi to an old bachelor as his wife.
Actually, looking back, it is really the case.
"She's also on her way back, but she's working at the steel mill, and it seems like she's having a hard time there." Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh as she thought of Fang Xiaoli's words.
But even working in a steel mill is better than going to the countryside.
There is endless farm work to do every day and I can’t go back to the city, so I might as well come back.
He Mingcheng nodded and said, "The steel mill is indeed very hard, but it's good to be able to come back."
He secretly put a lot of thought into getting Chen Yi back.
As for the captain, he also said a lot.
When he let Chen Yi live with him, he knew that this was wrong, but who could have made him like Chen Yi?
Later, the captain also said a lot of things, and the two of them discussed Chen Yi's matter again before bringing her back to the city.
Otherwise, the team leader would be stuck and no one would be able to do anything. Not to mention going back to the city, as long as the production team was not disbanded, Chen Yi would have to stay in that mountain valley for the rest of her life.
The two chatted for a few minutes and then went to bed. The next morning, He Mingcheng made breakfast and left.
They had a long journey ahead of them, so they had to leave early and set off at five in the morning.
When Chen Yi woke up, there was no one next to her.
She got up and took a look in the kitchen. There was millet porridge, eggs and a steamed bun warming on the stove.
Chen Yi's appetite is so huge, and He Mingcheng already knows how much she can eat, so none of the food he prepared will be wasted.
Because he knew that his wife would not eat leftovers, he always cooked in fixed quantities.
After breakfast, Chen Yi washed the dishes and looked at the gloomy weather.
The weather has been getting colder since autumn. It has been cloudy recently and it is probably going to rain.
She went to the office with her bag on her back. Ma Li had already arrived. She usually came earlier than others.
It’s not that she has nothing to do, but if she comes earlier she can get more work done and she won’t have to go home late in the afternoon.
"You're here quite early." Ma Li looked up and greeted.
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Sister Li, have you been on a business trip recently?"
"No, what's wrong?" Ma Li looked at her puzzledly.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yi said, "I guess the factory will assign me extra work in a few days. If you need to go on a business trip, please tell me a few days in advance."
She knew that working two jobs would be very busy, but there was nothing she could do, that was work.
How can you get paid easily? Although the other people in the purchasing department seem to be doing nothing all day, in fact, when they are on business trips, they cannot go home for more than ten days or even more than a month.
That was really hard work.
Who wants to be so far away from home and work all day?
Ma Li was a little surprised when she heard this. She had never heard that Chen Yi had any other job.
Chen Yi explained to her that this matter was not a secret and there was no need to hide it from anyone.
Hearing her words, Ma Li couldn't help smacking her lips, "What's wrong with your little brain? Not only are you smart and can speak foreign languages, but you can also design clothes."
So awesome!
She admired Chen Yi so she nodded and agreed immediately. If there was any business trip, she would definitely tell her a few days in advance.
With her answer, Chen Yi felt relieved.
She didn't know when the factory would assign her a job, but she wasn't in a hurry yet.
After lunch, a female comrade, about 23 or 24 years old, came to the office door.
She knocked on the door and said, "Who is Chen Yi, Secretary Chen?"
Chen Yi was reading a book. When she heard someone mention her name, she looked towards the door.
"I'm Chen Yi, what's going on?"
When the female comrade saw her response, she smiled and said, "Director Zhang asked me to come and see you."
Chen Yi understood, then got up and went out with her.
"Hello, Secretary Chen, my name is Wu Mei, and Director Zhang asked me to cooperate with your work." She extended her hand and greeted politely.
Chen Yi nodded and replied: "Hello, my name is Chen Yi. Where are we going to work?"
There are no sewing machines in the purchasing department, so there is nowhere to work.
Wu Mei was ready, "Come with me."
She walked in front and led the way for Chen Yi.
The two of them talked as they walked, and Chen Yi also learned some of the situation.
