Chapter 32 Chapter 32 So, this time there is really no worry...
When Xia Li woke up, she felt very comfortable all over. All the previous fatigue and aches had disappeared, and even her mind was clear.
She felt full of energy.
Sitting up, she saw that her aunt and Jiang Zai were still sitting on the ground. Xia Li was a little confused. How long had she slept? Why were they still there?
She glanced out the window, then quickly glanced at the clock on the wall. Her eyes froze. It had only been a little over half an hour. She hadn't realized before how beneficial sleep could be. It felt like taking a tonic pill.
Charlie couldn't believe it. She glanced at the clock twice more before finally accepting the truth. Then she couldn't help but wonder if, like the foreign movies she'd watched with her coworkers, she had entered another dimension.
She was amused by the wild ideas in her mind, and couldn't help tapping her head twice with her index finger, laughing at her own silliness.
But seeing Jiang Zai and his aunt, he also felt it was quite strange. What were they doing? Not only was she asleep but they were still here, what were they doing here?
Charlie walked over curiously and stood behind the two of them "looking down at them". This was a shocking sight.
Both of them seemed to be busy with work, especially Jiang Zai, who looked quite serious.
Jiangzai recalled what his aunt had taught him. As his aunt brought out toys, he picked out the cards one by one. Each card had a single word on it. After studying it for a moment, Xia Li realized that this wasn't just a test of literacy, but also vocabulary. But wasn't it a bit too difficult? After all, Jiangzai was just a kid who hadn't even started kindergarten yet.
Charlie couldn't help but interrupt the conversation, "Um, Aunt, have you forgotten how old Jiang Zai is?" Charlie asked with a smile, ignoring her aunt's angry glare at the interruption.
"Don't worry, I, your aunt, am not yet in my seventies or eighties." After answering, Xia Pingzhi stopped looking at her and just motioned Jiang Zai to continue.
Charlie said carefully again, "But even if you want to teach him, shouldn't you start with 1234?" An impossible thought flashed through her mind, and she casually asked, "Has he learned everything?"
Charlie smiled and shook her head. How could that be possible? Could my son be a genius?
She doesn't believe it.
"Didn't you understand what you were watching just now? If you don't understand, watch it for a while longer." Xia Pingzhi convinced people with reason.
Charlie was silent.
…
She leaned forward and continued to watch for a while. This was incredible. The more she watched, the more excited she became. Could it be that my son is really a genius?
How could she remain calm? She shamelessly squeezed in next to her aunt to see Jiang Zai's learning achievements up close.
After a while, Xia Li felt herself suddenly filled with a rich maternal love, and she felt a little light and happy. What was it like? It was like when she got her salary and found out there was a bonus.
She wanted to hug Ginger.
But he was rejected. Although Jiangzai sat on the mat, he tried to shrink his upper body backwards, trying to avoid Xia Li, the strange mother.
"Why don't you let mommy hold you?" Charlie looked eagerly.
This little boy in front of her was really her biological son. No wonder she was so sure when she returned. Look, he looked just like her, and he was smart like her too.
When Charlie was happy, she unconsciously said what she was thinking.
Xia Pingzhi saw Xia Li's rampant energy rising and looked behind her.
"Aunt, what are you looking at?" Charlie was a little confused.
"I see you've grown a few tails. Why are you so proud?" She put down Charlie's prestige a little. "I think you're getting a little carried away. This child wasn't born by you alone. Maybe he takes after someone else."
"Aunt, why are you boosting other people's ambitions and destroying your own niece's prestige?" Xia Li was unhappy after hearing this.
Xia Pingzhi snorted coldly, "Don't worry. Your son might not be a genius, but he's a smart kid. I taught him a few counting lessons a few days ago, and I think he's doing well, so I'm trying to teach him how to read." Unexpectedly, this child is so satisfying. If only someone had taught him earlier, otherwise, who knows how amazing he would be by now. It's because places like my hometown don't really value children's studies. Jiangzai hasn't even been to kindergarten at this age.
"Look at you, you're so busy all day, how little time do you spend with your child? You don't know anything. Even if I, as your aunt, sincerely look after you, you still have to take time out to care for your child. You can't just play around with your child after work. You have to ask the child what he wants and what he wants to eat. Pay attention to his current needs. When he goes to bed at night, you have to think about his future. For example, didn't you keep trying to persuade me to let Jiangzai go to school?"
The last sentence is the key point.
Xia Pingzhi pointed at Xia Li earnestly, saying that being a mother is not something that can be done casually, and that one must really take responsibility for the good of the child.
Xia Li's face was a little embarrassed when she heard this. She had indeed thought about it at the time, but she hadn't really taken it to heart. The kindergarten matter had long been forgotten in the past two days. It was hard for her aunt to keep it in mind. She had already said so, so how could Xia Li dare to slack off now? "Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely go and inquire about the kindergarten matter in the next two days."
That's about right.
"When you came back you said you were going to do good deeds. What did you do? Why didn't you go to work?" Xia Pingzhi remembered this.
Xia Li sighed and mentioned that she had asked for leave today to go pick someone up at the station. Receiving and settling a group of people was no easy task. The key was to get the job done to the end. The specific arrangements would probably take up more of her time and energy.
Xia Pingzhi nodded continuously as she listened. This was the truth. "Your idea is correct. Although it is a bit hard and troublesome, it's admirable that you are willing to spend this much time and effort on your mother-in-law. Just do your best in this matter. All we want is to have a clear conscience."
Xia Li nodded, indicating that she understood. Then, she tilted her head and thought for a moment, then joked with Xia Pingzhi, "Aunt, if I can do this well, I think I can even do this job. If I get bullied someday and can't work in the factory anymore, I can find a job for myself. What's the name of this job? Let me think about it."
"What else could it be? It's just a 'middleman'," Xia Pingzhi said.
"What's that 'middleman'? That's so offensive. Now I remember, they call it 'agents'. Those who find jobs are called labor agents, and those who find places to live are called real estate agents. I really think I could do that."
As she was talking, Xia Li suddenly remembered something. "Oh my! You said my brain is so bad, I just sleep when I get home. Why can't I remember one thing?"
Xia Li stood up and said to Jiang Zi with a smile, "Jiang Zi, look who sent you something?"
The recruitment process is progressing quite quickly.
After settling the dozen or so people from her hometown that day, Xia Li told them to go out for a stroll around the city if they had nothing to do. There were plenty of job opportunities in big cities. They could visit larger restaurants and other types of factories, ask around, and get a feel for the market. They might even find better opportunities than the ones she'd introduced.
Sometimes it’s hard to explain a person’s opportunities, but the first condition is that you have to take that step first.
However, as they were young people who had just graduated and lacked courage, they didn't make much progress after a few days. However, they also realized that even in big cities with abundant opportunities, the job market is not easy to find.
Therefore, they attached even more importance to the job opportunity that Xia Li introduced to them. Xia Li had asked them to prepare and practice in advance, and everyone took it very seriously and did not dare to slack off.
On the day when Xia Li's factory was recruiting, Zhao Qingqing, Zhao Haiyan and their group did not dare to slack off and came to the factory gate early to wait.
It was a normal workday, nothing special going on. Xia Li didn't want to take a day off, so she had Zhao Qingqing and the others come and register on their own. After registering, they went straight to the interview, and then decided whether to hire them. The interview process was actually quite simple, mainly just asking about a person's age and place of origin, and then checking to see if they were practical, capable, and had no medical conditions.
According to Xia Li, these ten or so people who came from their hometown are all good people. If nothing unexpected happens, they will all be able to stay smoothly. Jiang Dong's mother didn't pick them in vain.
Xia Li was actually quite confident about this interview. The few people she valued, including Zhao Qingqing and the village chief's daughter, Zhao Haiyan, were 100% guaranteed to stay. Even if one or two of the remaining candidates didn't make the cut, she couldn't do anything about it. At most, she could help them keep an eye out for other opportunities. As for whether they'd be hired, it was up to fate. The electronics factory she worked for, while hiring this year, hadn't advertised publicly. After all, if someone showed up randomly, their connections wouldn't be clear, and they wouldn't dare hire them. Therefore, recommendations from veteran factory employees were more reliable. However, given the large number of applicants, it was inevitable that a small number wouldn't be chosen, and everyone knew it.
Xia Li was considered a senior employee and a junior leader in the factory, and she could have a say in front of the recruiters. If she gave them a heads-up, they would give her some face.
So, there is really no need to worry this time, and she can work in the workshop with peace of mind. Everything will be over after today.
But who could have expected that, as expected, an accident really happened.
