After moving, the living space became smaller, so basically the eldest and second eldest sisters stayed in the rented house to work in the fields and help Tao An cook. Although it wasn't as convenient as before, the whole family seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after the house was sold, and they stopped thinking about it.
At first, you might have some reservations, but after ten days or half a month, you'll get used to it.
During the National Day holiday, Xiao Jiu was taken to the county town by her parents to watch a patriotic movie shown in the factory's residential compound, as well as a National Day celebration gala held at the factory. This was Xiao Jiu's first time visiting her parents' factory and her first time showing her talent in front of others.
Because the host thought she was cute, he pulled her onto the stage and asked her a few patriotic questions, and even asked her if she could sing revolutionary songs.
She wasn't shy at all. She took the microphone and sang confidently. Not only did she sing well, but her expressions and movements were also spot on. She even praised her parents profusely. She wasn't shy at all when asked questions, and her generous and poised demeanor made the factory leaders very fond of her.
"You're a remarkable little girl; you'll definitely be a talented person when you grow up."
He's not old, speaks with a light accent, isn't rustic at all, and is neither humble nor arrogant. He even puts on a show of respect better than they do. Who wouldn't admire such a clever little man?
Her parents haven't been by her side all these years, and they are quite surprised that Xiao Jiu has grown up to be where she is today.
The key is that when people tease her, they give her math problems and ask her to read the words on the backdrop. She not only reads them correctly, but she also calculates them correctly.
This surprised and delighted her parents. On the way back to the dormitory, the couple's curiosity never stopped, and they kept asking her questions.
She went to her dormitory with her mother. When her roommates came back that evening, they showered her with compliments, making her feel embarrassed.
Of course, she also has a sweet tongue, constantly calling people "auntie" and "sister." She speaks when she should and smiles reservedly when she shouldn't, so no one finds her annoying.
She had planned for her father to take her home the next day at noon, but the winery's announcer suddenly came looking for her.
"Oh my, your child is a natural-born broadcaster! I saw her speak yesterday, and she was very organized. Her voice is also very pleasant, with great intonation. This month, our factory is holding a patriotic speech contest, and we'll be going to the city to participate. Are you interested in participating? All the children in our residential compound can participate. If you win an award, it might help you and your husband get permanent positions."
That's quite a boast!
Even Xiao Jiu knows that getting a permanent position isn't done this way; you have to follow the proper procedures. Besides, with her parents' abilities, she doesn't need to do anything to get a permanent position smoothly. But now that this girl is saying this, it all feels different.
As expected, my mother was initially quite interested, but when she heard that this matter was related to her official promotion, she simply smiled and declined.
"I'm sorry, Officer Li, my daughter Xiaojiu is a great help to the elders at home now, and she can't leave. That's why her dad has to rush to take her home during his lunch break. We're just country bumpkins, we don't know anything, so don't embarrass us. There are plenty of outstanding kids in the family compound, we won't miss one more!"
As he was saying this, he tried to pull Xiao Jiu away, but when Officer Li saw this, he panicked.
"Oh, Sister Zhao, just let the child give it a try. It's all about participation. If she wins, you'll all be proud, won't you?"
