Chapter 289 Going to Work

When he saw the braised pork on the table, Gu Yanyan finally burst into laughter: "Mom, meat..."

Liu Yinyin took him to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Gu Yanyan ate half of a bowl of braised pork.

Liu Yinyin put away the remaining half and said, "We'll eat it tonight."

When it comes to food, Liu Yinyin has never let the young man down, and there is at least one meat dish for every meal.

It's either meat or eggs.

Perhaps due to adequate nutrition, the boy is obviously taller than his peers and has a plump body.

Liu Yinyin didn't have any intention of asking the little guy to lose weight, she just wanted him to exercise more so that his body could be stronger.

Gu Yanyan was very satisfied with the meal.

I took a nap at noon, and after waking up, I obediently followed Liu Yinyin to Xu Zhenzhen's house.

After returning from Xu Zhenzhen's house, Liu Yinyin originally wanted to go to Zheng Qiangwei's house to deliver the newly made clothes.

Zheng Qiangwei came to find her first. She had just heard the noise at home and knew that Liu Yinyin was at home, so she came to look for her.

Liu Yinyin handed her the dress and said, "I was going to come find you again. When the dress is ready, if it doesn't fit, you can bring it back to me for modification."

Zheng Qiangwei smiled and said, "What you did must be appropriate. By the way, I bought a bag of snacks for Yanyan in Qing City yesterday. Where is Yanyan? Why didn't I see him?"

Liu Yinyin told him about placing Gu Yanyan in Xu Zhenzhen's house.

Zheng Qiangwei clicked her tongue twice when she heard this: "You are really willing to do this."

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "I can't bring my child to work, right? This day will come sooner or later."

Once the nursery is set up, Gu Yanyan will also go there.

Otherwise, after waiting for two or three years, the kid still has to go to school.

Liu Yinyin was a little reluctant, but for Gu Yanyan, this was not a bad thing.

Boys should make more friends with other kids.

Moreover, Liu Yinyin would also listen to the young man's opinions. If he really didn't want to, she wouldn't force him.

Zheng Qiangwei thankfully said, "Fortunately, I don't have a child yet, otherwise, I definitely wouldn't be able to do anything."

Her situation is similar to Liu Yinyin's. Yang Yiming's parents both have jobs and it is impossible for them to come to the island to take care of their children.

This is also one of the reasons why she doesn't want to have a baby so soon.

Zheng Qiangwei also bought a bicycle when she went to Qing City yesterday.

As they were bored, they decided to go together and ride bicycles to the supply and marketing cooperative.

I found the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative and asked about their work situation.

The manager of the supply and marketing cooperative is a middle-aged man in his forties named Jiang Guobin.

The supply and marketing cooperative on the island was not large, originally with only five staff members, a manager, an accountant and three salesmen.

This time the store expanded, and we hired three new sales clerks.

Two of them are Liu Yinyin and Zheng Qiangwei, and the other one... is Jiang Guobin’s niece.

Liu Yinyin and Zheng Qiangwei are both military dependents, and Jiang Guobin will not neglect them.

Seeing that they behaved appropriately, Jiang Guobin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was not assigned two ignorant military wives from the countryside.

Jiang Guobin said with satisfaction: "If you have no objection, come to work in two days and learn from the salespersons in the store first."

"Working hours at the supply and marketing cooperative are relatively flexible. We start work at 8 a.m., which is a busy time. You can't be late. There is not much business in the store in the afternoon."

"I heard that you are military wives and have children to take care of. How about this, you can discuss it among yourselves and take turns to work one day in the afternoon."

Jiang Guobin only asked this because the two of them were military family members.

As for other people...in fact, several employees of the supply and marketing cooperative did the same thing, and Jiang Guobin turned a blind eye to it.

As long as it doesn't affect the business of the supply and marketing cooperative, he won't say anything more.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Zheng Qianwei was also very surprised. She had never thought that working in a supply and marketing cooperative would have such an advantage.

They go to work at eight o'clock every day, get off work at five o'clock, and have an hour for lunch at noon.

If I could have an afternoon off every other day...then this job would be really easy.

Zheng Qianwei immediately agreed: "Manager, we will come to work in two days."

Liu Yinyin had no objection either. This way, she would have more time to spend with her children, and there shouldn't be any problems with Gu Yanyan.

Two days passed quickly, and Gu Yanyan had a good time at Xu Zhenzhen's house during these two days.

Liu Yinyin felt relieved. After delivering 20 kilograms of cornmeal to Xu Zhenzhen's home, she began to focus on her work.

On the first day of work, Liu Yinyin spent the whole morning learning most of the rules of the store, and Zheng Qiangwei was the same as her.

All that remains is to remember the price of each item.

Liu Yinyin is mainly responsible for the counters selling clothing fabrics, cosmetics, cigarettes and alcohol.

Of course, she also needs to be familiar with other counters.

That way you won't make mistakes when you're covering for someone else.

Zheng Qiangwei was in charge of the counter that sold daily necessities such as soap, toothpaste, etc., as well as peanuts, melon seeds and dry goods.

Zheng Qiangwei said enviously: "You are more relaxed."

There are only villagers on the island, and there are hardly any people buying cosmetics, cigarettes or alcohol.

Only people in family homes will have this need.

Liu Yinyin continued: "How about I switch with you?"

The counters she's in charge of are indeed less busy, but it won't work if no one buys anything.

Liu Yinyin also wants to make some extra money.

"Forget it." Zheng Qiangwei really likes selling peanuts and sunflower seeds. "I'm here. I can eat sunflower seeds when I'm bored."

Liu Yinyin looked at the time and said to her, "I'm going back to eat first."

There is an hour for lunch at noon, but the store cannot be left unattended.

So, they have to eat at different times.

Of course, there are several other employees in the store, and we can ask them to help look after the counter for a while.

Who has nothing to do? It’s normal to help each other out.

Liu Yinyin has to go back to pick up Gu Yanyan to have lunch together, please help.

Zheng Qiangwei is different. She doesn't have to rush back at noon.

Today is their first day at work, and they both decided to work hard this week.

Starting next week, we will take turns to rest every afternoon.

Zheng Qiangwei waved her hands and said, "Go ahead. It's okay to come back later. I'll help you watch the counter."

They both eat in the cafeteria at noon, and Liu Yinyin will bring back lunch for Zheng Qiangwei later.

There's no way, one hour is too short, she can't cook and spend time eating at the same time.

And I have to clean the kitchen.

Liu Yinyin went to the cafeteria first with her lunch box to get food. She came early and it was not yet time for lunch, so there were not many people in the cafeteria.

The troops often have family members come to eat, so Liu Yinyin is not an outlier.

I made two dishes for Zheng Qiangwei, one meat and one vegetable, and a steamed bun.

Liu Yinyin also ordered two dishes for herself.
