On Monday morning, Xu Zhaodi took the letter of introduction and got on the bus to the county town.
Feng Xiujuan was also in the car, holding Xiaobao in her arms.
A few days ago, Xu Zhaodi fried meat, and Xiaobao was made happy by the fruit candy. He has been clamoring for meat these two days.
Jiang Dahai just received his allowance these two days, and there is food in his grain and oil book, so he is thinking of going to the city to buy some things.
When Feng Xiujuan saw Xu Zhaodi, she didn't look happy at all.
"Hey, you're going into the city too? Someone sent a huge bag of premium white flour to your house a few days ago. Have you two already finished it?"
Xu Zhaodi frowned. Wouldn’t this just bring hatred to herself?
They are not pigs.
If any family in the compound bought flour in large bags, Feng Xiujuan did it on purpose.
Xu Zhaodi frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you live by the sea?"
Feng Xiujuan was confused. She felt that Xu Zhaodi's question was inexplicable and must be nothing good.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Zhaodi sneered, "You're really nosy.
Who allows that we cannot go out to the streets just because we have food at home?
Sister-in-law, when you came to my house to apologize with white bread that day, you didn’t speak in this tone. "
Few people in the compound knew that Feng Xiujuan had apologized to Xu Zhaodi. She thought the matter was over. With Xu Zhaodi's brain, she would definitely not bring it up.
But she forgot that Xu Zhaodi was no longer the same person she used to be.
Several women nearby were amused by Xu Zhaodi's words. Feng Xiujuan was so embarrassed that her cheeks turned red instantly.
"you……"
"Don't mind, sister-in-law, that's how I talk."
Feng Xiujuan originally wanted to give him a good talk, but there were so many people in the car and Jiang Dahai was telling her so, so she could only grit her teeth and bear it.
The people in the back seat whispered, "Did Feng Xiujuan really apologize to Xu Zhaodi? Then could it be that the story about Xu Zhaodi looking for a lover was fake?"
"It must be fake. Captain Chen is handsome and has a good temper. Every woman likes him. Only a fool would like an educated youth when there is such a good man as Captain Chen."
"That's right, Feng Xiujuan is too immoral. She said something bad, saying that she is fickle and has problems with her personal conduct. She is really immoral."
"That's right. It's better to stay away from people like this in the future."
The voice behind was very small, but it also reached the ears of Feng Xiujuan and Xu Zhaodi.
She was too lazy to talk about anything else and closed her eyes to rest.
Forty minutes later, the bus stopped in front of the state-owned grain and oil store, and the people on the bus got off and went into the store one after another.
Xu Zhaodi was different. She turned around and went to the state-owned restaurant not far ahead.
The county town is not very big, less than one kilometer from beginning to end.
When I walked to the door, I saw a wooden sign painted white with four big black words written on it hanging on the wall.
——State-owned hotel
Feng Xiujuan couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw Xu Zhaodi enter the state-owned restaurant.
He really is a stubborn person, greedy and lazy. How could she apologize to such a person?
If she didn't get sent back to the countryside if she provoked her again, she really wanted to tear her face apart.
It was just past breakfast time, so the restaurant wasn't very crowded.
As soon as she entered, the female cashier at the front desk glanced at her and said contemptuously, "What do you want to eat?"
The girl looked to be about 26 or 27 years old. She was wearing a blue work suit and had shoulder-length hair. She had a regular appearance, but her skin was not good. There were freckles on her skin and it was yellow. She had two red cheeks.
However, the fact that she can work as a receptionist shows that she is considered good-looking in this store.
"Hello, I'm here to work. I have a letter of introduction from your company."
Xu Zhaodi took out the letter of introduction from her bag and handed it to the front desk with both hands.
"Hold it farther away. I'm not the leader."
The cashier looked impatient.
She pointed to the wooden door behind Xu Zhaodi and said, "See that wooden door? That's Director Zhang's office. Go in and find her."
"Thanks."
Xu Zhaodi had just arrived and didn't want to cause trouble, so she didn't say anything.
She knocked on the wooden door and a middle-aged woman's voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Xu Zhaodi entered the office. The room was not big with a table and chair inside. A woman was sitting at the desk with an abacus beside her. Behind her was a shabby bookcase with peeling paint.
The woman raised her eyes and put down the pen in her hand.
"Hello, you are..."
Xu Zhaodi stepped forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhi, I am here to work. Here is my letter of introduction. Please take a look."
Xu Zhaodi handed the letter of introduction in her hand to the woman with both hands.
The woman took it and said, "Okay, please sit down first."
The woman opened the letter of introduction, read the contents clearly, stood up with a look of surprise and said, "Are you the heroine who fought the human traffickers alone and saved people some time ago?"
Xu Zhaodi: ...
The woman walked around the table to Xu Zhaodi, and grabbed Xu Zhaodi's hands with a smile.
"Hey, hello, Xu Zhaodi, we have been waiting for you for a long time, and you are finally here.
My name is Zhang Guilan, and I’m the director here. You can just call me Sister Zhang from now on.”
Xu Zhaodi hadn't yet reacted to what was happening. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
It seems that people really need to do good things.
"Okay, Miss Zhang, may I ask what kind of work I should do? Are there any requirements? When should I come to work?"
"Actually, you can start work today. There are no requirements. Our kitchen is short of someone who can prepare the dishes. All you need to do is help the chef prepare the dishes."
Xu Zhaodi hesitated. She was indeed not prepared to go to work today.
As for going to the kitchen to prepare side dishes, she thought it was okay.
"Sure, Miss Zhang, can I come to work tomorrow morning?"
"Sure, sure. If you come to work one day earlier, you will get paid one day earlier."
Xu Zhaodi smiled and asked, "Excuse me, how much is the monthly salary?"
That’s what she focused on.
"Oh, that's right. You don't have any skills, so your salary is calculated as a handyman.
The wage for odd jobs is 80 cents a day, and there are two days of rest a month which are not counted as wages. If you don't want to rest and come to work, you can still get your wages counted.
In addition, the monthly food limit is 27 kilograms, and the ratio of flour, cornmeal, and dried sweet potatoes is 70:20:10. Do you think this is okay?"
When Xu Zhaodi heard this, she was almost secretly happy.
Given the current situation, this job is like a timely help to her.
She said excitedly: “Thank you, Sister Zhang, it’s okay.
Then may I ask, are there any meals provided?"
Zhang Guilan laughed and said cheerfully, "Yes, I will make sure you are full."
"Thank you so much, Sister Zhang. I will come to work tomorrow."
"Okay, the working hours are from 9 am to 9 pm, food is provided but accommodation is not. Is that okay with you?"
Xu Zhaodi hesitated. It would be dark when she got off work at nine o'clock in the evening. It would take at least an hour to walk from here to the military compound. Not to mention going to work at nine in the morning, she would be scared to go home alone at night.
Zhang Guilan saw Xu Zhaodi was a little hesitant and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
