Chapter 153 Making a Kang

Here, Jiang Yu was also talking about the recommendation quota at home.

She didn't need He Tingyue's recommendation, and even if she could, she wouldn't use it.

If He Tingyue really recommended her, it would arouse suspicion and make people gossip behind her.

Now that she has Xie Jinchang as a recommender, He Tingyue's position is vacant.

During the meal, she mentioned this matter.

He Tingyue shook his head and said bluntly: "I don't have a suitable candidate here, let's talk about it later."

The factory did not stipulate that they must recommend someone.

But other leaders in the factory would definitely compete for recommendations.

After all, it is a formal job. If you spend money to buy it, you may not be able to get it even with one or two thousand.

Jiang Yu just asked casually, and when he saw that he didn't have a suitable candidate, he didn't say anything more.

After dinner, He Tingyue said a few words before going to work: "I found a master to make a kang for my home. He will come to measure the size this afternoon. Remember to wait at home."

Jiang Yu didn't expect him to act so quickly. He immediately asked someone to do something that he just mentioned two days ago.

"Why so sudden? Aren't you too anxious?"

He Tingyue looked at her surprised expression. She was obviously very happy, but she had to take care of this and that.

"It's getting cold, hurry up and build the kang so you don't freeze. I've talked to Master He and asked him to help us modify the stove."

Jiang Yu said angrily, "Just build a kang, why do you need to move the stove?"

He Tingyue gestured, "Build a hot water tank here, the stove will heat up, and it can heat water in the kang, and you can use hot water to brush your teeth and wash your face in the cold winter."

He hadn't thought about it before, because his family was used to it.

But Jiang Yu was different. She was afraid of the cold, and she had made it clear. Since he knew it, he didn't want her to be wronged.

Jiang Yu felt warm in her heart, and she raised her lips shyly.

"There is a kettle of hot water, so there is no need to bother."

He Tingyue: "It is worth it to bother now so that you don't have to bother in the future. I will go to work first. Feiyan is also at home. You can ask her to wait for Master He to come with you."

"Okay."

He Feiyan did not go to school today because the school teacher asked for leave.

At that time, technical secondary schools were like this. They were not very strict. It was common for students to ask for leave every two or three days and not go to class.

In the afternoon, Master He really came with his apprentice.

Jiang Yu made them two cups of sugar water. Master He was not a talkative person. He drank the sugar water and started to work.

He Tingyue had told him the requirements before. Except for the hot water tank next to the stove, he only emphasized one sentence.

"The kang must be firm."

This made Master He laugh. He used to look like a man with no desires, but now that he has a wife, he seems to have changed into a different person.

After Master He and his apprentice finished measuring, they said goodbye to Jiang Yu and left.

When they were leaving, they happened to meet Jiang Li who had returned from the countryside.

"Jiang Yu, who is this?"

Jiang Yu said, "Master He, you are here to build a kang for my family."

"Don't you have a bed at home? Why do you want to build a kang?"

Jiang Li's eyes were restless, and she glanced at Jiang Yu's room.

Jiang Yu was afraid that her eyes would cramp, so she said directly, "He Tingyue was afraid that I would be cold, and knew that I was used to sleeping on a kang, so he thought of asking someone to come and build a kang, and move the stove at the same time."

"Move the stove? Why is this for? You have to choose a day, right?"

Jiang Li looked at the small courtyard in the south room, and couldn't help but envy her.

Jiang Yu pretended to be unhappy, but the raised corners of his lips could not deceive anyone.

"He Tingyue said he was afraid I would be cold, so he wanted to build a warm water tank next to the stove, saying that I would have hot water to brush my teeth and wash my face in the morning. In fact, we have been using cold water every day for so many years. He is just being nosy."

Jiang Li felt so annoyed when she heard this, and she pulled Zeng Chang into the house.

After finally getting rid of him, Jiang Yu had time to do her own things.

She hadn't submitted articles to the newspaper for several days. It was a rare opportunity for her to have some free time. She was filled with thoughts and wanted to write two articles to submit.

After being bored at home for two days, she went to the newspaper to submit her articles.

Passing by the second factory, she found a job recruitment notice posted at the door.

Many people gathered around, and seeing the requirements above, they were disappointed.

"Do you need recommendations from factory leaders? It's not easy to get these recommendations."

"Let's go, let's go. I knew it wouldn't be easy."

"It's not easy, but it seems fairer than before."

Only people with discerning eyes can see fairness. At least it can be seen that there are no internal appointments in this recruitment.

Unlike before, when the trend of job buying and selling was prevalent, all jobs were internally appointed, and no matter how capable others were, they were just running for the job.

Jiang Yu only looked for a while and then turned and left.

Then he ran into Aunt Zhou on the road. Seeing that she was running out of breath in the middle of winter, he asked a few more questions.

"I heard that a batch of cotton came to the supply and marketing cooperative, and I just saved up the tickets, so I wanted to go and buy it."

As a result, when they arrived at the place, they happened to see everyone dispersing, saying that the cotton had been snatched away.

Aunt Zhou slapped her thigh in anger, "Another wasted trip!"

Jiang Yu advised, "Aunt, you can just come again next time, don't worry."

"You don't know, this cotton is in such short supply. This is my fourth time here, and I haven't been able to get it every time."

Someone nearby heard this and sneered, "Aunt, this is only your fourth time. I've been here seven or eight times, and I haven't been able to buy it every time."

But there is only so much cotton at the supply and marketing cooperative, and people can't buy it even if they have money.

Jiang Yu has never come here to buy cotton, but there is still some left at home, but she plans to keep it for safety.

She didn't know before that cotton was so in short supply.

"Aunt Zhou, there is a place here where you might be able to buy it. You don't need a ticket, but the price will be a little more expensive. Do you want it?"

Aunt Zhou nodded immediately, "Yes!"

Of course, otherwise she didn't know how long she would have to wait to make a cotton-padded jacket.

Jiang Yu took Zhou's mother and went directly to Daxin Hutong, and knocked on Lai Liuzi's door with ease.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, she heard the sound of ducks, quacking and annoying.

"Sister-in-law? I'm just going to take a break and come to find you."

Jiang Yu led Zhou's mother in and closed the door.

"Liuzi, do you have cotton?"

Lai Liuzi glanced at Zhou's mother and nodded.

"Yes, how much do you want?"

Zhou's mother was surprised: "How much more can you want? I can't even buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative!"

She originally thought that she would be satisfied with one or two kilograms.

Lai Liuzi laughed, "Auntie, you couldn't buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative, so you came to me, didn't you? I don't have anything else, just this little clever trick of taking advantage of the situation."

Auntie Zhou asked for ten kilograms in one breath, and asked tentatively, "Do

you have it?" "Yes, your sister-in-law brought it, so it's one yuan per kilogram. Wait, I'll go to the house to get it for you, or you can leave your address and I'll send it to your home?"

Auntie Zhou thought that it would be eye-catching for an old lady like her to carry so much cotton, so it would be better to let him send it to your home.

"Okay, it's a pity that you can buy it this time, I'll remember it in my heart, and we'll come often in the future."

Mainly because he was introduced by Jiang Yu, Auntie Zhou felt at ease and trusted him.
