"Well, I found a job."
Facing two pairs of expectant eyes, Jia Dongsheng nodded calmly, as if finding a job was a piece of cake.
"What kind of job?" Jia Zhang continued to ask.
"I thought my sister-in-law would also work in the steel mill, so I also found a job there so that we can take care of each other."
Jia Dongsheng's words warmed Qin Huairu's heart. She did have some expectations about being a worker and working in a factory, but she was more nervous.
She is just a rural girl. After marrying into the city, she has been living in this courtyard and has not come into contact with many people. She is really worried about having to change her working environment suddenly.
This is also the reason why she wants to show her closeness to Sha Zhu. One reason is that her family needs Sha Zhu to help carry leftovers from the canteen, and the other reason is that when she enters the factory in the future, she will have an acquaintance who can take care of her.
However, Qin Huairu did not expect that Jia Dongsheng had also thought of this and was able to find a job in a steel rolling mill. This was too amazing. It was not so easy to find a job in a steel rolling mill.
"The rolling mill is good, the rolling mill is good."
Jia Zhang nodded repeatedly, smiling: "Which workshop are you going to work in? Do you want me to find Yi Zhonghai and ask him to take care of you?"
"No, Mom."
Jia Dongsheng refused: "I'm not going to work in the workshop, but in the canteen. The deputy director of the steel rolling mill recruited me as a fifth-level cook and made me the head chef of the No. 1 canteen."
After hearing this, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were dumbfounded. They stared at Jia Dongsheng blankly, looking like they had never seen the world before.
"Be, be a chef?"
"Still serving as the head chef?"
"Or a Level 5 cook?"
"Dongsheng, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Jia Zhang stuttered a little.
"Of course I didn't lie to you. You've tasted my cooking skills. Deputy Director Li of the steel mill specifically hired me to work there to prepare the dishes for the guests."
Jia Dongsheng's matter-of-fact answer made Jia Zhang unable to control her excitement any longer. She shouted happily, "That's great! Haha! My son is so capable! No, I have to go out and have a good talk with everyone."
That's right, whenever there is any good thing, Jia Zhang wants to show off in the yard. She did the same when Jia Dongxu started working in the steel rolling mill and was assessed and upgraded to a second-level fitter.
But after that, Jia Dongxu never passed the assessment and was promoted again, which made her a little disappointed.
After that, Jia Dongxu passed away, and the people in the yard began to point fingers at Jia Zhang, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Now, the second son is back and is even more capable than the eldest son. Not only can he provide her with enough food to eat every day, but he is also capable of becoming the head chef of the steel mill. She must show him off.
What does it mean to be proud? At this moment, Jia Zhang felt a sense of pride.
"Mom, please don't. This matter has just been decided. I will start work on the 15th. If you want to say something, go out and say it."
Jia Dongsheng quickly stopped Jia Zhang and said, "If something unexpected happens and you can't go to the steel mill, you'll lose face."
"Yeah, that's right."
Jia Zhangshi felt like she was being poured a basin of cold water by Jia Dongsheng, and her enthusiasm to show off dissipated a little, but more worries rose in her heart.
"Dongsheng, hasn't the deal been settled yet? How could something unexpected happen to that deputy director you were talking about?"
"Even if things are settled, there's still a chance something might go wrong. As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Anything can change before the dust settles."
Jia Dongsheng said lightly. In fact, Li Huaide had already agreed, so how could there be any unexpected changes? It was just that he didn't want to see Jia Zhangshi being too high-profile.
"Mom, that's enough. I'll go lie down next door for a while. When you wake up, I'll make you some chicken soup."
"Okay, go and take a rest. I'll clean the chicken first. The chicken blood is actually quite delicious."
Qin Huairu, who was standing by, was confused as she listened to what the mother and son said. Chicken, what chicken? Where did the chicken come from?
After Jia Dongsheng went to sleep, Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Go clean up the chicken. When Dongsheng wakes up, we'll make chicken soup. You should drink more then. It will also provide nutrition for your grandson in your belly."
"I know, Mom."
It was rare to hear Jia Zhang speak to her so gently, and Qin Huairu was quite happy in her heart, but she was more curious about Jia Dongsheng. How could this brother-in-law be so capable?
He is both a level five cook and a chef squad leader. How much salary should he get this month?
Qin Huairu was thinking about this problem, and Jia Zhangshi was also thinking about it. The monthly salary of a second-level fitter is just over 30 yuan. Should the fifth-level cook get a salary of more than 40 yuan?
......
At night, Jia Dongsheng sobered up and put the whole pheasant into the pot, and then added various ingredients. The aroma of chicken soup drifted from the door of Jia's house into the yard.
There was no way. Although Jia Dongsheng stopped Jia Zhang from showing off her work, he could no longer stop her from showing off the aroma of chicken soup.
"Since Second Jia came back, the Jia family's life has really gotten better and better."
At the entrance of the middle courtyard and the front yard, Yan Jiecheng once again led his younger brothers and sisters to squat here, enjoying the fragrance while eating the steamed bread in their hands.
"Brother, this Jia Lao Er is about your age. How is your relationship? Can you go and get a piece of chicken?"
Yan Jiefang, squatting beside Yan Jiecheng, was still a half-grown boy. He sniffed the fragrance in the air and twitched his nose a few times: "This must be the smell of chicken. I feel like eating a piece."
"Alas, I remember we played together back then, but when Jia Lao Er left, he was only ten years old. What does that have to do with us?"
Yan Jiecheng was also a little worried. He was already so old, but not only did he not have a partner, he didn't even have a job. He had no money to buy a chicken and kill it for meat.
"Brother, you should have gone out to learn some skills. When you come back, you can also give us meat to eat."
Yan Jiedi, the youngest in the family, was only five or six years old. She was already crying because of the fragrance in the air, and looked at Yan Jiecheng with a face full of grievance.
"Learning skills?"
"I want to learn a skill, but who can I learn from?"
Yan Jiecheng put the steamed bread in his hand into his mouth with a sad face, took a big bite, and sighed softly: "Oh my god, it smells so good!"
"Xiang, what do you think of my idea?"
At this time, Yan Fugui, who had just walked over, heard Yan Jiecheng's words, and the wrinkles on his face became more prominent because of his smile. He also had a steamed bread in his hand, and while eating, he said: "Although we can't eat meat, but smell the fragrance, this steamed bread tastes much better."
"What's this?"
"That's taking advantage, understand?"
