Chapter 22: Chen Jintao's Versailles
"That being said, it is indeed very impressive to be able to work in a state-owned restaurant, but there is a problem. Didn't our Beichuan say that he would take Taozi with him to accompany the army? When Taozi leaves, I will have to give up this job."
Liu Guifen was also happy, but she felt a little sorry when she thought that her daughter-in-law had to follow the army.
She couldn't be so selfish as to not let her daughter-in-law join the army. The most important thing was for her daughter-in-law to give birth to a child as soon as possible. After all, her eldest son was a soldier. It was no exaggeration to say that he was ready to sacrifice at any time every day.
Although everyone hopes that he can be safe and sound forever, some things are unpredictable. The best thing is to have a child as soon as possible. Even if something really happens, he will not be without a successor.
So deep down, she still hopes that her daughter-in-law will join the army.
"Mom and Dad, that job is an official position for me, and official positions are transferable."
Shen Jintao said with a smile.
"Transfer?" Liu Guifen's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "It's no use even if I can transfer it. Not everyone can do your job."
Chen Jintao agreed with this statement. You know, the salary of a chef in a state-owned restaurant is very high, more than 60 yuan plus various tickets, which is considered a very good salary in this era.
Of course, not everyone can be a chef, so there is nothing wrong with what Liu Guifen said.
"Mom and Dad, here's what I think. There are so many people in our family, right? You can all learn from me during this period of time. There will always be one person who has talent in this area. You can learn from me every day. I can't guarantee that you can learn all my skills, but as long as you can compare with the average chef, you can get this job."
"It all depends on who has the ability. Of course, I have to ask my mother to come along. We are all family and I won't show favoritism. Whoever learns better in the end will take over after I join the army!"
Liu Guifen slapped her thigh and said, "You young people are the ones who have the most ideas. Why didn't I think of that?"
"Otherwise, how could our daughter-in-law get a job after just one trip?" Huo Chenggong also laughed, "But I'd better forget it. I know my situation. Forget about being a chef. If there's no one to cook at home, I'd be lucky if I don't starve to death."
"That's true. Your father has no talent in this area. If he really did some hard labor, he might be able to do it." Liu Guifen also said.
"Then mom, you still have younger brothers and sisters, and my mom will learn from me." Shen Jintao made a decision.
"become!"
"Can I learn too?" Huo Nanxi couldn't believe it. After all, she always said some unpleasant things, but Chen Jintao was willing to let her learn with her. Wouldn't she be angry?
"Yes, sure. Everyone should learn it. It's good if you really have this talent. It's better than just watching this job go away."
Shen Jintao nodded.
"Thank you...sister-in-law..." Huo Nanxi's expression became even more awkward. Regardless of whether he could learn any real skills, the fact that Shen Jintao didn't care about his previous rude remarks and was willing to teach him made Huo Nanxi have a different impression of her.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with Shen Jintao herself. It was just that the news that she liked a certain educated youth had caused a lot of controversy, and she always felt that her elder brother had picked up someone that others didn't want.
But it seems that Chen Jintao has never done anything immoral. It's just that everyone knows that she likes Lu Qingshan. In comparison, Chen Chunmiao is more shameless. Fortunately, her eldest brother did not marry Chen Chunmiao. She was making a fuss about breaking off the engagement with her eldest brother, and then she got together with someone else. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on.
"I'll have to trouble you to go over and tell my mom about this tomorrow. We'll gather here tonight. Please wait for me to come back and cook. This way, we won't waste food and I can still teach you."
“Okay, okay!”
Early the next morning, Chen Jintao packed up the materials she needed for work and set off again on her bicycle.
I happened to come across the ox cart of the brigade going to the town. Every few days the brigade would have an ox cart going to the town. If you wanted to buy something, you just had to pay a little fare and you didn’t have to walk.
There are a few aunts and ladies on the ox cart today, probably they are going to the town to buy things.
"Hey, Taozi, where are you going now? Didn't you just go to town yesterday?"
"That's right. You just got married and your husband has joined the army. You should not go out every day. Otherwise, it will easily lead to gossip."
Shen Jintao thought there was nothing wrong with the aunt who spoke at the beginning, but the one who spoke later...
"Aunt Niu, I'm going to work. Oh, I found myself a formal job when I went to town yesterday. I'm a chef in a state-owned restaurant. Well, I have no choice. I don't want to go to work. After all, my hometown Beichuan will take me to the army in two months. What's the point of me going to work? But the director is very enthusiastic and wants me to go. I have no choice but to go out every day. Now that you know the truth, please don't spread gossip. I'll go to work first. After all, it's not so easy to get the monthly salary. Sigh..."
"Oh, Auntie, I forgot to tell you that spreading rumors is also against the law. We should be more careful about what we say in the future."
Then Chen Jintao rode away on her bike in full view of everyone...
The speed of the ox cart could not catch up with that of the bicycle. Even if everyone wanted to ask something else, they could no longer see Chen Jintao's back.
"Wow! Did I hear her correctly? She said she was going to work at a state-owned restaurant?"
"No, she even said it was a formal job!"
"Oh my god, Sister Niu, your junior high school student seems to be just a temporary worker, right? And the company is not as good as the state-owned restaurant. This girl is amazing!"
An aunt who didn't get along well with Aunt Niu said this, her eyes full of anticipation for the show.
"..." Aunt Niu was really shocked by the news just now. Of course, she was more dissatisfied. Her son was originally a temporary worker, which was already very enviable, but how come this damn girl suddenly became a formal employee, and in a good unit like a state-owned restaurant with plenty of money.
"Even if he is a regular employee of a state-owned restaurant, he is probably just a waiter. What's there to be proud of? My son is a junior high school student and is still learning from a master. Who knows, he may even become a skilled worker after he is officially employed!"
"You said it's hard to say, it has to be after you become a regular employee. Now I'm already a regular employee. Speaking of which, Shen Jintao is still better!"
The other aunt just wouldn't let Aunt Niu be proud. Who told her that Aunt Niu's mouth could easily offend people?
