Lin Jin naturally agreed.
She knew that she would have to stay in the provincial capital often in the future. Last time the factory recruited a driver, she asked her husband to quit his job as a scorekeeper and come to the factory to apply for the driver position.
Tian Dawei is the son of the former branch secretary Tian Youliang. He has been educated and has more experience than others, so naturally he was hired.
He is currently learning to drive in the county, and will be able to start working after a while.
By then, let Tian Dawei go to the provincial capital more often, and the couple will not have to live apart.
Jiang Wanyue took them to the Friendship Store.
With the pass, it was easy to get in. I walked in and turned a few corners until I reached the most remote counter.
They had been here once before going to the Canton Fair, and every corner had been arranged. Now they would put the goods there and put them in the warehouse.
This counter was applied for in the name of the bamboo weaving factory, so it mainly sells bamboo weaving products.
Tea sets, decorations, clutches…
"Oh, you're finally here." Sister Bai from the next door came out while eating sunflower seeds. "You haven't been here for more than a month. I thought you had given up on this counter. Some people actually came to your booth to ask about it during this period. It's a pity that you don't have anything here. I dare not say anything more."
"Thank you, Sister Bai, for still thinking of us." Jiang Wanyue took out a box of tea she bought from Guangcheng and handed it over. "This is the tea that people in Guangcheng like to drink. I've tasted it before, and it's very good. It's not expensive. Sister Bai, take it back and drink it."
"You are so polite, sister." Sister Bai accepted it and said with a smile, "When are you planning to open the store?"
"It should be the day after tomorrow." Jiang Wanyue pulled Lin Jin over and said, "This is the sales director of our factory. Sister Bai can just call her Xiao Lin. She will be in charge of this counter for the time being. Lin Jin, this is Sister Bai."
Lin Jin and Sister Bai got to know each other.
After finishing tidying up the display cases here, it was almost dark.
Jiang Wanyue was not in a hurry to go back because she had to rent a house for Lin Jin in the provincial capital tomorrow.
However, the public security is not good now, and it is still a little unsafe for Lin Jin to rent a house alone.
She originally wanted to find a male salesperson to come along, but if word got out that a man and a woman were renting a house alone, it wouldn’t be good for Lin Jin.
After thinking it over, Jiang Wanyue still couldn't come up with a good idea.
"Isn't Director Lin from the provincial capital?" Xiang Lingxiao asked in confusion, "Wouldn't it be fine if you live in your own home? If you live far away, you can also live with your relatives."
Jiang Wanyue was about to speak.
Lin Jin said, "My home is not far away. The bus takes about half an hour to get there. However, my house is too small. After my brother got married, my room became a child's room and I had no place to live. But Director Xiang is right. I still have relatives. My aunt's house is big. I want to rent a room from her. But I don't know if she still lives there. I have to go back and ask."
Jiang Wanyue nodded. Living with relatives is definitely better than renting a house.
The group stayed in the guesthouse for one night. The next morning, Xiang Lingxiao and Wu Zhiqiang went to the duck farm to buy ducks, while Jiang Wanyue accompanied Lin Jin home.
As soon as I arrived at the residential yard, I saw Lin's mother with her child.
Lin Jin seemed to have forgotten what happened last time, and said with a smile on his face: "Mom!"
Mother Lin looked up suddenly and was very happy to see her daughter: "Xiao Jin is back, that's great, you can't just come and leave today, this is your leader, stay with us, we have some food at home!"
Lin Jin did not refuse and pulled Jiang Wanyue into the house.
Lin's mother brought the dishes from the kitchen to the living room to sort them out, and asked about her daughter's condition while doing so.
When she heard that her daughter was going to rent a house in the city, she was shocked: "Aren't you an educated youth? Aren't you supposed to work in the fields? How can you come to the city and rent a house? Are you going to live here long-term? Won't the cadres in the brigade have any objections?"
"Mom, didn't I tell you that I'm a worker now?" Lin Jin explained, "Our factory has opened a store in the provincial capital and needs someone to take care of it. I'll be in the provincial capital for a while. I remember my aunt's house is very spacious, so I want to rent a house there. Do you think it's okay?"
"Your aunt lives alone and wants to live in a lively place. She will definitely be happy if you move in." Mother Lin said happily, "You can come back to eat after get off work and save some money."
"What money do you want to save?" The door to the living room was pushed open, and Mrs. Lin walked in. "Xiao Jin is a worker, so he has a salary. Now that he is so old, he shouldn't go back to his mother's house to eat for free, right?"
Mother Lin opened her lips, not knowing how to smooth things over.
Lin Jin pursed his lips.
After the eldest brother married the eldest sister-in-law, this was no longer her home.
Although I feel sad, I can understand it.
Isn’t this the case in every family?
She had already accepted this fact and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will definitely not go home for dinner in the future. I will also pay for today's meal and will not take advantage of my brother and sister-in-law at all."
As she spoke, she took out ten dollars from her pocket and put it on the table.
"You kid..." Lin's mother quickly stuffed the ten yuan back, "We're a family, why do we have to be so divided? Look at what this has caused, hey..."
Mrs. Lin's eyes sparkled and she smiled: "It seems that Xiaojin's salary is quite high. He spends ten yuan at a time."
"Lin Jin's salary is indeed not bad." Jiang Wanyue, who had been silent the whole time, smiled and said, "Lin Jin is capable at work and has created great benefits for our factory. He is now the sales director. His monthly salary plus bonus is close to 100 yuan."
"What?" Mrs. Lin couldn't hold back her expression. "What kind of job is it that pays 100 yuan?"
Her current job was Lin's mother's previous job, which paid about 20 yuan a month. After she gave birth to the child, she let Lin's mother take care of the child while she went to work. Since she was the one earning money now, she was always arrogant in front of her mother-in-law and dared to show Lin Jin her displeasure.
Who knows, Lin Jin makes 100 yuan a month?
This is too outrageous!
Lin Jin knew that Jiang Wanyue was deliberately trying to raise her status. She said nonchalantly, "She's just selling things at the Friendship Store. She's just a salesperson. Not worth mentioning."
Friendship Store!
These four words surprised Mrs. Lin again.
She remembered that the director of their factory had always wanted to buy clothes at the Friendship Store, but he was not qualified to enter and was unable to do so even after using many connections.
But the sister-in-law whom she looked down upon actually worked in the Friendship Store.
If she could help the factory director get into the Friendship Store, wouldn't she be able to gain the factory director's favor?
In just a moment, Mrs. Lin's mentality changed instantly.
She said with a smile: "It's just a matter of having more people and more pairs of chopsticks. Xiaojin, if you have time, come back more often. Mom and Dad miss you so much."
After knowing Lin Jin's salary, Mrs. Lin's attitude changed, and the meal was not so unpleasant to her.
After the meal, we took a car to Aunt Lin Jin’s house.
There are two rooms in my aunt's house, and the empty one is given to Lin Jin to live in. He didn't want to rent it at first, but Jiang Wanyue insisted on paying five yuan a month, including water and electricity.
