Jiang Wanyue knew Lin Jin's purpose even with her toes.
Sure enough, Lin Jin pulled her aside and said, "I heard from Dawei that you are going to be the deputy secretary of the brigade. Congratulations first. Since you are here to serve in the brigade, you probably won't be able to do the school work. We are both educated youth. You also know that my academic performance is not much worse than yours. If you can be a teacher, so can I. If you can give me this job, I will give you 20 yuan."
She took out a stack of money from her pocket. There was only one ten-yuan note, and the rest were all small changes of one yuan, fifty cents, and one dime. It was obvious that they were just collected together.
She forced it into Jiang Wanyue's hands.
Jiang Wanyue: “…”
This has happened several times in a row. Someone has forced money on her. Does she look so poor?
She returned the money and said calmly, "Next Monday, you go to the school for an interview. If you are qualified, this position will be yours. You don't need to pay."
Lin Jin was delighted: "Really?"
"Don't be too happy too soon." Jiang Wanyue said calmly, "You are not the only one who is interviewing."
Lin Jin is full of confidence: "I have always been no worse than others. No matter how many people interview me, I can always stand out."
Jiang Wanyue admired her confidence.
After all, there are not many people in the village who are so confident.
Song Huaizhi prepared dinner, which consisted of two dishes and rice. The whole family was very satisfied with the meal.
After the meal, Jiang Wanyue picked up Huazi and went out. After walking a few steps, she arrived at the door of her in-laws' house.
Zhou Xiugui and Song Dahai were having dinner, which was sweet potato cooked with black noodles and some green vegetables. The color was hard to describe.
Grandma greeted her warmly, "Why are you here, Wanyue? Have you eaten yet? Do you want another bite?"
"I've eaten." Jiang Wanyue walked in and said with a smile, "I want to ask Dad to help spread the news to the junior high school students in the brigade. Tell them that our brigade primary school will recruit first and second grade teachers next Monday. Anyone who is interested can go for the interview. As long as you pass the interview, you can take the position."
Zhou Xiugui immediately put down her chopsticks and said, "Teacher, you got this job by trading your agricultural technician job title. How can you just give it to someone else? In my opinion, spread the word that this job is 30 yuan and will be given to whoever pays. Then you can have some money in your hands and the children's lives will be better."
Jiang Wanyue said seriously: "Then this means that only those with money can be teachers, instead of letting truly talented people become teachers. I think this is unfair and unfair to the students."
"Wanyue's words make sense." Song Dahai nodded, "She is now the deputy secretary of our brigade. She should really consider more about everything instead of just thinking about her own small family."
Zhou Xiugui opened her mouth, but had to swallow all the words back.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "Didn't you say before that you would treat your parents to a meal after the first month's subsidy was issued? It just so happens that the manuscript fee of eight yuan was issued today. I want to invite my family to get together tomorrow to celebrate my appointment as deputy branch secretary."
During this period of time, the Song family has taken good care of her.
When she couldn't come back at night, her mother-in-law helped her take care of her three children.
When she went to class, Song Laosan helped her take care of Huazi and even weaved a big mat for her home.
The dry firewood in her house was all chopped and sent by Song Laoer.
The children’s clothes and shoes were all made by my mother-in-law.
She had long wanted to treat him to a meal to express her gratitude.
There was no opportunity before, and it was difficult to prepare delicious treats. Now that there is money in hand, everything is possible.
Zhou Xiugui frowned: "You spend your money recklessly now that you have some. You are also a mother, so save some money."
Jiang Wanyue said helplessly: "It's not easy for me, a person with an outsider surname, to be the deputy branch secretary. I just want to have a good relationship with my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother's family. If anything happens in the future, at least I have my family to support me."
"That's true." Song Dahai nodded. "As a family, we should work together to help Wanyue secure her position as deputy branch secretary."
Zhou Xiugui curled the corners of her mouth: "I see that now, no matter what Wanyue says, you are always good and nice, and you don't have any opinions of your own. After all, you are still a captain."
"The captain can't have the final say, can he?" Song Dahai stood up. "I have to go downstairs and take a walk. I won't say any more."
Jiang Wanyue went to the Song family to notify them one by one.
When they heard that she was going to treat them to a meal, there was no reason for them to refuse. They also enthusiastically told everyone that if they needed any vegetables, they could just go to their fields and pick them.
Jiang Wanyue went to bed early at night and planned to go to the county town the next day, Saturday.
This time, she decided to take her three children with her. Winter was approaching and it was getting colder, so the children needed to buy thick clothes.
She prepared two backpacks, putting heavy things in her backpack, such as grains like rice and flour, and gave Song Huaizhi some fragile things, such as noodles, crispy cakes, and twisted dough sticks.
The mother and her two children walked to the commune in the morning light.
She often went to the county town and had figured out the bus schedule. The three of them just caught the first bus. She bought three tickets and sat in the last row. Four people squeezed into three seats, which was just enough space.
She took out three candies from her backpack and handed them to the three cubs.
She took out an orange and ate it happily. The smell of the orange peel dispelled the smell in the car, making her feel much more comfortable.
The car shook and it took two hours to reach the county town.
This was Song Huaizhi's first time traveling far away and his first time in the county town, so he looked around curiously.
Song Yunying licked her lips and said, "Brother, last time mom took us to a state-owned restaurant to eat noodles, it was really delicious."
"No hurry, we'll go eat later." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "Let's deal with these things first."
