The comrade who came to see Ningning is the accountant of their commune and is a well-known figure in the entire Hongyang Commune.
When such a distinguished person came to visit her third daughter-in-law with gifts, her face lit up.
Only then did Shen Chu Ning realize that there was someone following Lin Shulan.
"Ningning, this comrade is Accountant Peng from our commune."
At first she couldn't remember when she had met such an old man, until Lin Shulan introduced him to her.
He quickly shook hands with the man politely, "Hello, Comrade Peng."
Peng Kaiyuan was also very excited when he saw Shen Chuning, “Hello, Comrade Xiao Shen. I am sorry to bother you today because I want to thank you.
I have heard from my comrades in the commune that if you had not happened to go to the commune to do some work that day and saved my life, I would probably have lost my life. ”
As he spoke, he handed the cloth bag of gifts he brought to Shen Chuning.
The cloth bag was bulging. I didn't know what was underneath, but I could see several big, red apples on top.
Zufeng City, where the Hongyang Brigade is located, does not produce apples. Apples are a special commodity here and ordinary people cannot buy them even if they have money.
Shen Chuning generously accepted the gift and quickly invited Peng Kaiyuan and Lin Shulan to sit in the house.
After the two of them entered the house, Shen Chuning realized that her account book was still flipping on the table, so she quickly closed it and put away her pen and notebook.
Peng Kaiyuan's eyes lit up, "Comrade Xiao Shen, can you write? And can you keep accounts?"
Before Shen Chuning could answer, Lin Shulan proudly said for her, "Of course I can't. My wife is the only girl in our area who has gone to high school."
When Peng Kaiyuan heard this, his eyes lit up even more. "Comrade Xiao Shen went to high school?"
Shen Chu Ning answered truthfully: "I did, but I didn't finish high school. I studied for one semester in the first year of high school and then stopped."
"So you graduated from junior high school?" Peng Kaiyuan said happily: "That's enough, this degree is enough."
"Comrade Xiao Shen, are you willing to be my student?"
Shen Chu Ning couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
These days, jobs are all about finding one job, which is hard to come by.
Not to mention rural people, even city dwellers have many people who are unemployed.
Weren't those educated youth sent to the countryside to support rural construction because they had no jobs in the city?
And now Accountant Peng actually asked her if she wanted to be his student. Isn't this like a job falling from the sky for her?
Moreover, this job is a commune cadre working in an office, which is what everyone aspires to.
In the minds of today's rural people, anyone who works in a commune is a cadre, and the rank of commune cadres is higher than that of brigade cadres.
She had been worrying about how she could get a visible income, and this was like someone giving her a pillow when she felt sleepy.
She wanted to agree directly, but she still said seriously: "Old comrade, it was just a piece of cake for me to save you that day. You really don't have to give me your job to repay me."
Peng Kaiyuan said that he accepted her as a student, but in fact he just wanted to teach her and then give her the job.
Peng Kaiyuan looked at Shen Chuning's serious little face and liked her even more.
This girl, faced with such a great temptation of getting a job for free, knew to consider his old bones first.
This is the kind of person needed to be a public accountant.
Such people will not make mistakes because they are blinded by the large amount of money in their hands.
He laughed and said, "Xiao Shen, don't worry about this issue. I will never accept you as my student just to repay a favor.
I am old and not as healthy as I used to be. The workload for public accounting work is very heavy, especially when the public grain is collected after the autumn harvest. My old bones can’t take it anymore!
I had been looking for the right person, but I just couldn't find him.
It was just a coincidence that you saved me and I thought you were very suitable for this position. ”
Although Shen Chu Ning wanted this job very much, she was still worried that the old comrade gave her the job on impulse in order to repay his kindness, and that the old comrade's family and children might blame her at that time.
After all, jobs nowadays can be passed down from generation to generation. When parents can no longer do the job, the job can be passed on to their children.
"Old comrade, your family members know that you want to give up your job. Do they all agree?"
When Peng Kaiyuan heard Shen Chuning's words, his smile was bitter for a moment, then he regained his cheerful look and said, "Young comrade, don't worry. I'm an old man alone, and I can give this job to anyone I want, without anyone's consent."
"I'm sorry, old comrade."
Shen Chuning didn't know the old man's family situation. She didn't expect that by asking this question, she would poke the old man's wound. She quickly stood up and bowed to Peng Kaiyuan to apologize.
Peng Kaiyuan waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, everyone in our commune knows about this, there's nothing you can't ask."
Before liberation, he fought against the enemy on the battlefield, and his wife and children died or went missing in the war.
After liberation, the state arranged a new job for him, and some people advised him to remarry.
But he didn't have that intention.
It feels good to live alone these years.
But now that he is old, he is afraid that one day he will fall asleep and never wake up again. He has not found anyone to take over his job yet, which will delay the country's affairs.
"Well, young comrade, have you made up your mind now? Do you want to be my student and take over my class?" Peng Kaiyuan asked Shen Chuning again with a smile.
Shen Chu Ning was very understanding. He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to the old comrade, "Hello, teacher!"
Peng Kaiyuan looked at this well-behaved student and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "Okay, hello, Comrade Xiao Shen."
Lin Shulan beside her was also grinning from ear to ear.
She said that her daughter-in-law was a blessed person.
Once he recognized his teacher, he could immediately eat state-owned food, which was unique in their brigade.
Shen Chuning invited Peng Kaiyuan to have dinner at home, which could be considered a teacher-apprentice banquet.
Lin Shulan was afraid that Shen Chuning didn't have enough food, so she hurried back home and brought the remaining sausage and half of the cured chicken to Shen Chuning.
When Sun Fengjiao came out of the kitchen and saw Lin Shulan carrying something to the next door, her mouth was twisted to the sky.
As soon as he entered the house, he glanced at Zhou Jiakang with disdain, "Your mother's heart is really bent to the armpit. She just brought sausages and chicken to the third brother's house."
Zhou Jiakang had just come back from work and was playing with Zhou Xiaolian. When he heard what his wife said, he agreed without thinking: "The family has been divided. It's their own things. They can give them to whoever they want. Don't worry about it."
Sun Fengjiao was even more furious when she heard the man's words. "Other parents always support the eldest son in the eldest house, but your parents are different. It's as if you, the eldest son, were picked up."
