Chapter 16 Who will get the quota?



"That's great." Wu Guixiang sighed as she watched the family enjoying themselves. "Well, everyone must be hungry, let's eat quickly."

"Wait, Mom." Su Aimin interrupted, "There's something else I haven't told you."

"What? Anything else?"

Haven't all the things been distributed? Zhang Xinlan's eyes lit up. Is there anything left? Are they not going to give money? She stared at Su Aimin, urging him to speak quickly.

Su Aimin kept everyone in suspense and asked mysteriously, "Do you know whose child Yunyun and I rescued today?"

"Whose?"

"It can't be that we know each other, right?"

"How is it possible? How could we possibly know someone who could come up with these things?" At this moment, Zhang Xinlan came to her senses.

That's true.

Su Dalin couldn't stand the third brother showing off, so he slapped him and said, "Hurry up and tell me."

Su Aimin curled his lips, he was so impatient.

"That child belongs to the deputy county magistrate."

He deliberately emphasized the three words "deputy county magistrate".

"What deputy county magistrate?" No one reacted.

"The deputy county magistrate of our Luoshui County." Su Aimin raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Bang" Su Congjun's bowl fell to the ground, Su Congwen's chopsticks fell, and Su Congwu was choked to death by the rice in his mouth and couldn't breathe.

But no one cared about this now. Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Su Aimin in disbelief.

"Third Brother, you...you're not wrong, are you?" Su Aiguo stammered, "You saved the deputy county magistrate's son?"

"Yes!" Su Aimin nodded affirmatively, and everyone took a breath.

Wu Guixiang's hands trembled. "So these things were sent by the deputy county chief?"

"Oh my God, I can still wear the clothes made of cloth given by the deputy county magistrate." Zhang Xinlan murmured, with an expression as if she was living in a dream.

Not only her, but everyone else also had a dazed look on their face. The highest-ranking official they had ever seen in their lives was a cadre in the commune, the deputy county magistrate, a figure they couldn't even imagine!

Their third child actually saved the son of a prominent figure! He's made it big! He's made it big!

"What did the county magistrate say?" Su Dalin seemed to be the calmest one, but in fact, the cigarette in his hand was almost burned.

"The county magistrate didn't say anything, but Yunyun asked the county magistrate for something." County magistrate Su Aimin was shocked when he thought about his daughter making conditions to the county magistrate.

Zhang Xinlan's eyes almost popped out. Su Qingyun actually dared to ask the county magistrate for something? Why didn't she just go to heaven?

"What is it?" Su Congwu was the most impatient and asked impatiently.

"One..." Su Aimin dragged out his words, scanning the whole family one by one, and finally said the complete words, "work."

What kind of work? These two words exploded in everyone's ears like thunder from the plain.

"Uncle, what did you say?" Su Congjun swallowed, thinking he was hallucinating.

"It's up to you three brothers to get an apprenticeship at the steel mill." Su Aimin explained the details. "The monthly salary is about 17 yuan. Whether you can get a permanent position depends on your ability."

Steel plant? Apprentice? Every word Su Aimin said seemed so far away from their lives.

The whole family was stunned.

Zhang Xinlan was the first to react. She stared at Su Aimin intently, "Third brother, are you talking about an apprentice position at the steel mill?"

They couldn't even dream of being a factory worker. Even as an apprentice, they were on rations, earning 17 yuan a month, which was 200 yuan a year. And what if they became regular employees? Wouldn't that be even higher?

"But what about these three brothers? Do you think you can talk to the deputy county chief again?" Zhang Xinlan said with a shameless face. How to divide a position?

Now it was Su Aimin's turn to look at her with an incredible look. His second sister-in-law was even more daring than him!

"Zhang Xinlan, do you know what you're talking about?" Su Dalin, who was usually quiet, was furious. "We're already thankful that the county magistrate is willing to give us a job. How much more do you want? Besides, this job is Yunyun's. She gets to decide who gets it!"

"No, Dad." Zhang Xinlan was anxious. "What does Yunyun know?"

"She got this position because she wanted it." Su Aimin sneered, "Second sister-in-law, I'm not afraid to tell you that it was Yunyun who took the initiative to ask for a job at the steel mill. Otherwise, she could have asked for an easier job and done it herself. If you think it's too little, go get one yourself if you have the ability!"

Where can she get it? Zhang Xinlan shrank her neck and didn't dare to mention it again.

After hearing this, Qin Ying looked at Su Qingyun. Her daughter was really determined to go back to school.

Wu Guixiang looked at Li Xiulian, who had been silent for a while, and asked, "Boss's wife, what do you think?"

"Me?" Li Xiulian was stunned. She came to her senses and said, "Mom, I don't know much about the jobs in the city, but I think being a worker must be difficult. Especially in a steel factory. Who would dare to do that without some skills?"

"My family is in the military. We are honest people. We haven't been good at studying since we were young, but we are down-to-earth and willing to work. Whether we can join the army or not, we won't say a word."

Wu Guixiang nodded with satisfaction. Her eldest daughter-in-law was indeed sensible and worthy of being the one she chose personally.

Su Qingyun also looked at her aunt in surprise. Her aunt was the one who understood everything in this family.

Zhang Xinlan curled her lips secretly, she said both good and bad things.

"Our family has good academic performance and quick minds since childhood, so they will definitely learn this kind of technical work quickly and well. They will definitely be able to become regular employees and will not bring shame to our Su family." Zhang Xinlan said proudly. Everyone can talk nice words.

"Um..." Su Congwen, who was always quiet at home, started to speak. "Mom, I'll let it go. Let's give this job to my eldest brother or my third brother."
