In the end, Yao Tongjia agreed to let Huang Yao let her boyfriend give it a try, but Yao Tongjia made it clear beforehand: "I agree to let your boyfriend try it for a month. If I'm satisfied, he can continue to work there!"
"Your trial month's salary will be based on the temporary worker's salary, which is 20 yuan per month. As for the dormitory, we will provide it to you regardless of whether it is suitable or not."
"As for who you let live there, as long as it doesn't affect other people!"
Yao Tongjia's words brought tears to Huang Yao's eyes: "Thank you so much, Factory Director Yao!" Heaven knows that she gets up at four or five in the morning every day to rush to work, and often doesn't get home until very late at night!
She also had to help with chores, so she got very little sleep. But she couldn't bear to leave her blind mother-in-law and her husband who had difficulty walking.
Now things are much better. My husband's job is settled, and my mother-in-law can come and live here. I no longer have to worry about her being pelted with stones by the children if I leave her alone at home!
In the afternoon, Huang Yao asked Yao Tongjia for leave to go back and tidy up the dormitory. It was a small house of only 40 square meters, but it had two bedrooms and a living room.
Huang Yao's eyes sparkled. There was a well outside the dormitory, so she borrowed a wooden bucket and a rag from next door to clean.
My neighbor, Aunt Sun, is a very kind person. She not only lent me her wooden bucket and rag, but also brought me a broom and dustpan: "I don't have anything to do anyway, so I'll help you with the work!"
Huang Yao said a little embarrassedly, "I can do it myself, I don't want you to work so hard!"
Grandma Sun worked nimbly: "I used to do farm work at home. Now I come here to help take care of the children. Now that the children are in school, all I do every day is cook and pick them up and drop them off. It's so easy!"
"I'm not one to enjoy life. I'm getting stiff all over. I've finally found some work to do, so please let me do it!"
Aunt Sun's words made Huang Yao both laugh and cry: "Then thank you so much, Auntie. We'll treat you to a meal once we've settled down!"
But Aunt Sun shook her head: "Why are you inviting us to dinner? Food is scarce. Inviting you to dinner will make you go hungry for days. We can't do that!"
"From now on, we should help each other out as neighbors. Let's skip the formalities and get to work!"
Aunt Sun was really efficient at her work. A thought popped into Huang Yao's mind, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and decided to wait until her husband's job was more stable before making a decision.
We'll talk about the future later! Huang Yao originally thought she would be working very late, but with Aunt Sun joining in, the house was spotless in just two hours.
Both rooms have kang beds, so we don't need to buy beds. We can just bring the existing bedding and live there. As for kitchen utensils, we can buy them later. We can get our meals from the canteen for now.
The food prepared in the factory canteen was in no way inferior to that of restaurants outside, but each worker's meals and dishes were rationed, and of course, they weren't free.
It's equivalent to a half-price fee, which is cheaper than buying groceries and cooking yourself. So many dual-income families basically don't cook at home anymore. It's delicious and cheap, so who would want to cook at home!
Some dual-income families bring their meals home to eat, leaving food for their children. In today's world, such factories are places where people feel a strong sense of belonging.
After thanking Aunt Sun, Huang Yao didn't walk back on foot as usual, but instead rented a horse-drawn carriage for one yuan.
The old man driving the carriage grinned from ear to ear. He was about to head back when he unexpectedly received a dollar for free—he was overjoyed! Of course, there were still other people on the carriage.
Someone saw Huang Yao and sneered, "This is a good thing, times have changed. If it were in the past, some people would never be wandering around here like this!"
Huang Yao knew they were talking about her, but she didn't care. Right now, they could only talk, and they couldn't really do anything to her!
The journey that usually takes two or three hours to walk was completed in less than half an hour by this old man in a horse-drawn carriage. Huang Yao's husband peeked out when he heard the sound and asked, "Why are you here so early today?"
Huang Yao usually gets home early, around 8 PM. It's only a little past 3 PM now, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she's been fired again because of him?
Huang Yao's husband tried his best to control his racing heartbeat: "Have you eaten?"
Huang Yao smiled and said, "I've eaten. Ayong, I've found you a job. The factory has allocated us a two-bedroom apartment. Let's pack our things and move in together. I've called a horse-drawn carriage!"
A-Yong was stunned by his wife's information-packed words: "What did you say? You found me a job?"
Huang Yao smiled so broadly that her eyes crinkled, and she seemed to radiate light. This was nothing like the ordinary-looking Assistant Huang she usually was.
Huang Yao is now very energetic and has a great presence!
Ever since Ah Yong was crippled by someone, he has never left the house and has almost never left home to take care of his blind mother. Is he really able to go out and work now?
He looked at his trembling hands. Could he still earn money with his own hands?
However, when he saw Huang Yao packing her things, he composed himself and quickly went over to help. His wheelchair was a nice thing that his grandfather used to have.
Previously, because it was well hidden, no one took it. Now, he deliberately uses some things to cover it up, so no one knows the value of this wheelchair.
Only then could he move freely at home, taking care of himself and his elderly mother; otherwise, Huang Yao wouldn't have time to go out and work.
The blind old woman quickly sensed something was wrong: "Are you packing your things?"
Huang Yao quickly pulled her mother-in-law to sit down: "Mother-in-law, sit down and let me tell you. I found A-Yong a job and also allocated him an apartment. We're going to move to the city together!"
When the topic turned to the city, the blind old woman visibly flinched: "Is it safe now?"
The voice seemed to come from deep within her throat, almost inaudible. Huang Yao's eyes were a little red: "We're safe now. We don't care about the past anymore, Mother-in-law, please don't worry!"
With Huang Yao's comforting words, the blind old woman calmed down: "What kind of job did you find for A-Yong? He..."
A-Yong quickly stopped his mother from asking, "Mother, any job is fine, I can't let A-Yao keep working so hard!"
Huang Yao was in a great mood: "I found A Yong a job as a sample garment maker. Our factory manager said that as long as A Yong passes the probation period, he can be hired!"
"I believe Ayong will be fine!"
But Huang Yao didn't see that A Yong's face froze. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I thought it was a job as a gatekeeper. How come it's a sample garment maker?"
