Chapter 5 Business System
Zhou Xian didn't care what to do, she just wanted to find something to do temporarily.
Ge Guifen hesitated for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to take her daughter to cook first, and then let her daughter help with cooking.
Cooking is not a problem for Zhou Xian, but asking her to cook deliciously is impossible.
Fortunately, I don’t have so many requirements for taste now, as long as there is something to eat, it’s fine.
Ge Guifen thought that since it was her daughter who cooked, she could always get something to eat. After thinking it over, I slapped my thigh and decided.
After that, she no longer had to bring her daughter-in-law back for lunch. She would come back to cook for her daughter and make her some delicious food.
Seeing that she did a good job, he felt relieved and asked his eldest granddaughter Daya to help with the fire.
The main thing is to cook lunch, put the rice in clay pots and send it to the fields for the family.
As long as the meal is edible, there is really nothing to complain about the taste. The main thing is that given the current situation, there is no need to be picky.
With Zhou Xian's help, the family can work with peace of mind.
When going to the fields, it is inevitable to run into the educated youth who are working there.
When the heroine Zhao Siqing saw Zhou Xian, her eyes couldn't help but stay on her for a moment.
She does an average job and doesn't earn much per cent. These are secondary to her. After all, her centimeters do not affect others. If she has fewer centimeters and gets less at the end of the year, it is her own business.
It's just that she is so slow, and she's really holding the team back.
There was a member in front of her, who turned around and saw that she was in a daze again, and what she said was indeed unpleasant to the ear.
Zhao Siqing has lived two lives and has experienced everything, so naturally she would not pay attention to those people.
But Zhou Xian was different. She had heard of this person’s name in her previous life.
When she married Qiao Donglin, her brother once lamented that when he went to the countryside, many local educated youth and members of the commune had a good impression of Qiao Donglin.
Especially the captain's daughter at that time, who was very clingy to Qiao Donglin. The captain even used some means to force Qiao Donglin to agree to marry his daughter. Fortunately, the Donglin family had been rehabilitated by then, so their conspiracy did not succeed.
Even so, the team leader still wanted to detain Donglin in the countryside and secretly hid Donglin's admission letter, not wanting him to go to college.
Donglin was devastated at the time and almost got together with that female comrade.
Fortunately, someone in Donglin's family learned about the situation and went to the school to inquire. They found out that the admission letters had already been sent out, so they did not succeed.
Later, the matter was reported to the higher authorities, and Donglin's family stepped in, and the team leader was punished.
Zhao Siqing wasn't quite sure what the specific punishment was, but she felt uncomfortable when she thought about how Qiao Donglin almost married someone else, so she looked at Zhou Xian with hostility.
Zhou Xian received a reminder from the system as soon as he arrived at the field.
"Host, that's the heroine Zhao Siqing."
Zhou Xian simply ignored Zhao Siqing's gaze. After all, Zhao Siqing in this life replaced her brother and went to the countryside. Even if Zhou Xian knew about her, he was not familiar with her.
As for her rebirth and coming back with the advantage just to run here to find a man, it was also her own choice.
Zhou Xian has always adhered to the principle of not offending others unless they offend me.
At this moment, the mistress didn't provoke her. If it's good for you, me, and everyone, it would be the best.
Zhou Xian stood on the ridge of the field and waved to Ge Guifen, "Mom, it's time to eat."
When she spoke, everyone looked over and were surprised to see that it was Zhou Xian.
Everyone knows that this lazy girl from the captain's family actually works so hard one day.
Seeing that it was her who came to deliver the food, everyone was extremely surprised. They kept looking at Zhou Xian, almost staring at her until tears came out of their eyes.
However, more than 80% of the people in this brigade are surnamed Zhou, and although the other 20% came later, they have all become relatives over the years. Not to mention that Zhou Xian's father is the brigade leader, when it comes to Zhou Xian, people just mutter a few words behind her back and never say it to her face.
If Ge Guifen heard it, it would be ugly if they started quarreling.
Seeing that she actually brought food over, and hearing Ge Guifen say that it was she who cooked the meal, he didn't believe it.
Many people suspected that this was because Zhou Xian was old enough and Ge Guifen was ready to find a husband for her daughter, so she planned to give Zhou Xian a better reputation.
After all, there is no girl who has never done any work since she was young, so you can't love her so much.
No matter how much you love your daughter, you still have to teach her how to wash clothes and cook. Otherwise, when she goes to her husband's house, she won't know how to do anything and will be scolded to death.
They really couldn't understand Ge Guifen's behavior.
It is not certain whether the meal was made by Zhou Xian. It is possible that the family prepared it in advance and asked their daughter to send it over.
Zhao Siqing naturally heard the mutterings as well. She clenched the farm tools in her hands and became even more alert.
Especially Qiao Donglin's childhood friend Qi Zhijie was still muttering beside her, "This Zhou Xian actually changed her method. Does she think that Donglin will like her this way? It's really a foolish dream."
Qi Zhijie was not far from her, and she heard everything he said, which made Zhao Siqing even more nervous.
She had only heard of Zhou Xian from her eldest brother and Qi Zhijie. Qiao Donglin had never mentioned her. As far as she could remember, her eldest brother and the others had mentioned her several times, but Donglin's face always looked unhappy, and he even looked a little impatient, and asked them to stop talking about her.
So Zhao Siqing concluded that this woman was a very bad person and she was very scheming.
Zhao Siqing still had great confidence in Qiao Donglin. Although she had missed him for many years, she knew him very well.
In her new life, besides wanting to be by Qiao Donglin's side as soon as possible, she also wanted to help him resolve all the obstacles that had occurred before.
This time, she would never let Donglin be hurt by those things again.
There would be no chance for the Zhou family to intercept Donglin’s admission letter.
Zhao Siqing pondered over what she could do to help Donglin avoid all this. She thought about reporting the Zhou family directly, but she also thought that since nothing had happened yet, it would be useless for her to report them, and it would only cause complications.
However, this also made Zhao Siqing think that she could keep an eye on the Zhou family directly, and it would be best if she could catch them in the act, so that even if they wanted to deny it, they would not be able to do so.
Zhao Siqing thought of various methods in her mind, but when she came to her senses, she found that Zhou Xian had left without her knowing when.
She looked over subconsciously, only to see Zhou Xian's back as he left.
"It's strange, this Zhou Xian didn't even stare at Dong Lin." Qi Zhijie beside him couldn't help but mutter.
But he was only confused for a moment. He knew too well who Zhou Xian was. This was just her new trick to attract Dong Lin's attention. It was actually the same as asking Dong Lin for money before.
"What's going on with her?" Zhao Siqing looked at Qi Zhijie and asked.
Qi Zhijie naturally knew Qiao Donglin's feelings for Zhao Siqing. Donglin was a very stubborn person and would not easily change his mind once he had decided on someone or something.
However, Donglin didn't let him tell Zhao Siqing about these things. He knew Qiao Donglin's temper and naturally would not make him unhappy.
"Nothing, I just feel weird. You know, before you came, this girl was clinging to Donglin and wanted to stare at him all the time. But don't get me wrong, Donglin has never liked her."
Zhao Siqing was naturally relieved about this.
She just looked at Qi Zhijie and sighed, "Of course I believe in Donglin, but when I hear what this girl did in the past, I'm always worried. Do you think she will ask her father to embarrass Donglin? After all, we are under her father's care now."
"Even if she's not good enough, her dad is still okay, so there's no need to worry about that."
Zhou Jiefang was a pretty good team leader. At least he never made things difficult for these educated youth.
They also heard that some brigade leaders relied on the little power they had to bully the educated youth.
Listening to Qi Zhijie's words, Zhao Siqing felt even more disapproving. She had experienced a lifetime, and in that lifetime, Qi Zhijie did not say this.
But she could understand it, after all, there were many things in her life that had not happened yet.
Seeing that everyone else had already eaten, the two of them standing there seemed too awkward, so they found a shady place to eat the meal they had prepared.
Zhao Siqing had some concerns in her heart, so she was still very concerned about the Zhou family. Seeing that the Zhou family ate better than other people in the team, she couldn't help but become alert.
Since she was always staring at them, the Zhou family naturally noticed it.
Hu Lanhua was holding a steamed bun made of 200g flour and a piece of vegetable with chopsticks. While eating, she said, "Mom, why does Zhao Zhiqing always keep an eye on our family?"
Ge Guifen glanced in the direction of her gaze, not caring at all, "Look at how good our food is, you must be greedy, come on, eat quickly."
At this time, who wouldn’t take out the good things saved up during the New Year to eat? If you don’t eat something good, no one’s body will be able to bear it if you continue like this.
Captain Zhou Jiefang receives a salary, so his family's conditions are naturally slightly better than other families. They not only have meat, but also salted fish.
Wu Xiufang said while eating the food, "I didn't expect that my little sister is such a good cook. Her cooking is so delicious."
Ge Guifen couldn't help but roll her eyes. There was so much oil in this dish, how could it not taste good?
However, she was reluctant to say that her daughter was a spendthrift, so she could only make excuses for her in her heart, thinking that her daughter might have just learned to cook and couldn't control the amount of oil, so she could just remind her later.
After returning home, Zhou Xian took out his straw hat and fanned himself twice. Seeing several children there, he paused for a moment, took out an egg cake from the room, cut it into several pieces with a knife and gave them to them.
Several children looked at her with sparkling eyes. Although they were a little impatient, they still said thank you after getting the food before putting it into their mouths.
Zhou Xian was still very pleased. Who doesn’t like a polite child?
Just watching those children carefully pouring even the crumbs that fell on their palms into their mouths made Zhou Xian feel a little sad.
Even though she has lived here for more than ten years, it seems that this has never happened before.
Thinking about how she had just brushed off the crumbs that fell on the table, Zhou Xian suddenly had the idea of wasting shamefully.
Fortunately, she came to her senses quickly and realized that she couldn't let herself get stuck in a rut.
As the busy farming season came to an end, everyone felt relieved.
Although I still have to go to work on weekdays, I don’t have to be so tired anymore.
While eating, Zhou Jiefang, who had just returned from a meeting at the commune during the day, also spoke.
"Director Chen of our brigade has been promoted to the commune. Now the position of director of women's affairs in our brigade is vacant, so I plan to select someone from the brigade to take over. This will make it easier to carry out women's work."
"How did she get promoted?" Ge Guifen asked curiously.
Director Chen is related to her family, but Ge Guifen is still curious about his promotion. He was promoted without any notice.
"An official in the commune retired, so Director Li from the Women's Federation transferred someone from a lower commune and chose her."
After all, this is a decision made by the commune, and the team leader cannot interfere. However, the vacant position of women's director in the brigade must be filled.
The family members just listened to it and thought that this matter was the responsibility of the father and had nothing to do with other people in the family.
Zhou Xian didn’t have any ideas at first, but at this moment, the system suddenly popped up.
[Hello host, the career system is at your service. 】
