Chapter 55

The draw time is not slow.

After Pang Lihua deducted Ding Feiyan's share, all the unemployed military dependents came forward one after another.

The quantity was counted in advance, and each person got a paper ball.

Naturally, there is also a share for Tang Wenlan.

Everyone has selfish desires. Since arriving at the family compound, Tingting and her mother-in-law have received a lot of care from Sister-in-law Wenlan.

So, that morning, she specifically reminded the other party that even if she didn't go after winning the lottery, she could still sell it to another military wife.

These days, selling a formal job, even at a preferential price, is still a considerable income.

The key is that many people have money but have nowhere to buy it.

Even if she doesn't sell it, giving it to a good friend would be a favor.

So, we have the scene before us, where Sister Wen Lan and everyone else are ready to fight.

Pang Lihua was a very experienced person. She was worried that someone might take two at once, so she told everyone to hold on to the paper balls and not to open them.

After confirming again and again that everyone had one, we let them see if they had won.

Frankly speaking, at this moment, even those who did not participate in the lottery, like Ruiting, couldn’t help but feel their hearts tighten.

Suddenly, someone stood up with a bang and laughed, "I got it. It says 'win' on my ticket!"

With this sound, it was as if a switch was turned on, and the silent classroom suddenly became noisy with a buzzing sound.

There are sighs of disappointment, but also the joy of winning.

Standing on the podium, Ruiting could clearly see everyone's reactions.

Of course, we also saw that...some of the family members who didn't win have already started wiping away tears.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Because of the good popularity of my mother-in-law in the family compound, even though I rarely go around the family compound, I know that most families have conflicts of one kind or another.

For example, the thin woman with a sallow face sitting in the corner, still wearing patches on her body, is the wife of a deputy battalion commander under the Third Regiment. She has many children in her family and has to split half of her husband's salary and send it back to her hometown.

Huo Xiao is a regular soldier, and with some subsidies, he earns a little over 100 yuan a month.

The deputy battalion commander gets even less, and half of the several dozen yuan has to be deducted. And the remaining half has to be used to deal with emergencies from time to time, such as today's fundraising, a comrade's wedding... or sacrifice, all of which require money.

In fact, deep down, she hopes that the poorest families in the community can get jobs.

But if you do this, others will resent you.

So although Li Ting sympathized with the other party, she didn't say anything.

Because there was Mrs. Pang to keep them in check, and also because the distribution of work this time couldn't be fairer.

Therefore, even if someone feels uncomfortable, no one dares to say anything to their face.

While the eight winners stayed to register their information, the rest left one after another.

During this time, Ding Feiyan was swearing outside.

Seeing that these people had no chance like her, she, who was originally angry, could not help but reveal a gloating expression.

Just as she was about to say something provocative, she heard the woman, who was a head taller than her, threateningly say, "I'm in a bad mood right now. Come on! If you say something nasty, I'll give you a beating to vent my anger!"

Hearing this, Ding Feiyan shuddered subconsciously. At that moment, she even felt that the bruises under her clothes, which were caused by her man's beating, were more painful.

So she immediately shut up, turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, the tall woman yelled "Pooh!" at the person next to her and cursed, "You idiot!"

Ruting didn't pay attention to what happened outside the house. Her attention was now focused on Tang Wenlan.

Wen Lan's sister was lucky, as she actually got a spot in the draw.

However, the person who finally came forward to register was Wang Di, the wife of Political Commissar Huang of the Second Regiment.

Others might not have noticed, but Li Ting, who was standing on the podium and had been paying attention to Sister Wen Lan, naturally saw her surprised expression when she opened the paper ball.

Of course, this also included the fact that she stuffed the paper ball into Wang Di's hand without saying a word.

Although Lu Ting was not familiar with this Mrs. Wang, she learned from Mrs. Wen Lan that they had a very good relationship. Before they moved into the military family compound, the two families had even been neighbors for several years when they were in the military compound outside.

Thinking of Wang Di's eldest daughter who was facing the crisis of going to the countryside in order to graduate soon, Li Ting couldn't help but feel a little better.

After I registered for work, it was already getting dark.

Then Ruting went home with everyone else.

The only thing that made her uncomfortable was that on the way back, the military dependents who had gotten jobs kept praising her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, we arrived at the family compound in about ten minutes.

She breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to everyone politely, and then rushed into the house without looking back.

I thought that was the end of the matter.

But she did something great without making any noise, and in just half an hour, it spread from the family compound to the army camp ahead.

All of a sudden, in addition to admiring and praising her, all the warriors were more envious of Huo Xiao.

I envy him for being able to marry such a good wife.

Some people are in a good mood, and naturally some people are in a bad mood.

For example, Political Commissar Liu who received the news.

When he heard the news and sent someone to find out the whole story, he immediately went to find his partner and asked, "Old Wei, what you did was wrong, wasn't it?"

The questioning was out of context, but the brigade commander, who had just finished dinner and was drinking tea, knew what was going on. He did not play dumb and said bluntly, "I really didn't tell you about this, but I won't take the credit from you. When I submit the evaluation to the division headquarters at the end of the year, it will still be yours."

The reason why he intervened, without even letting Old Liu know, was because he was worried that Old Liu would make a simple matter complicated, not because he wanted to take credit for it.

After hearing what his old partner said, although he got the answer he wanted, Political Commissar Liu still felt very aggrieved.

Thinking of the initiator of this incident, Lu Ting, Political Commissar Liu narrowed his small eyes and felt that no one took him seriously.

Ting Ting had no idea that Political Commissar Liu had become more and more petty due to his continuous setbacks and had even become dissatisfied with her.

Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to care because she is very busy.

The time came to the next day.

Early in the morning, she took the military card specially arranged by the army, led eight military wives and her eldest sister, and went to the city again.

Adhering to the principle of seeing things through to the end, and besides, Li Ting was planning to take her sister to the steel plant to report in person.

So when the brigade commander sent someone to ask if she could accompany the military families on another trip tomorrow, she agreed immediately.

Of course, that assumes it's Sunday.

In order not to affect the normal teaching on the next day, Ting did not dare to delay the whole process.

He first took the eight military wives to the factory to handle formalities, and then negotiated their positions with the factory staff based on whether they could read or not.

After the military wives had completed all the formalities, Tingting took her eldest sister straight to the steel plant.

Until she got her employment certificate, Ruishuang was still confused.

She...has become a glorious worker?

She had originally planned to go back to her hometown after her brother-in-law returned home.

But I never thought that what my sister said about helping me find a job was actually true!

By the way, the person who helped me with the registration process just now said...that the work is very leisurely and it is a good department.

Thinking of this, Lu Lu felt even more dreamy.

After being unlucky for half a year, is her luck...changed by her sister?

"Sister, the factory director only gave you half a month's leave. I'll ask Huo Xiao to ask someone to find you a house in the next two days, and try to get it done within three days." After entering June, the weather became gradually hotter. Standing at the gate of the steel factory, after running around with everyone for a day, Li Ting saw some children drinking cold orange soda and wanted to drink some too.

Zhui Sheng came back to her senses, carefully put her employment certificate into her bag, and asked, "Three days? Can I buy it in such a short time?"

Tingting looked around, trying to find a place that sells soda: "It should be possible. When we bought a house last time, the people from the Housing Authority said that smaller houses are easier to buy. As long as you can get a house purchase certificate, you can transfer your household registration when you go home this time."

Only then did Zhuo Zhuo notice what her sister was looking at. She untied the water bottle on her body and handed it to her: "I heard that it is full of saccharin. It is not good to drink it. Drink boiled water instead."

Of course, Tingting knew it was not good, but she was really hungry, so she took the kettle and drank two sips before she said, "I don't know why, I suddenly wanted to drink so badly, it was really annoying."

Hearing this, the person who came over, Luo Shuang, said helplessly: "Then... Sister, go buy a bottle? But you can only drink one sip, and give the rest to me."

藺葶...Okay!

It was already evening when I returned to the unit.

Ruiting did not go home immediately. After saying goodbye to the excited military wives, she went to the brigade commander's office alone.

Knowing that the brigade commander was busy, she didn't have the habit of talking about irrelevant things.

After a simple report and work arrangements were completed, the military dependents would be able to start work the day after tomorrow, and then they got straight to the point: "When I went to the factory today, I found that small factories such as the shoe factory and the match factory had outsourced work."

Brigade Commander Wei immediately responded: "Comrade Xiaolue, what do you mean...?"

Li Ting nodded: "There are still more than a dozen military dependents in the family compound who are unemployed, and some of them can't even get enough food. I'm thinking, can our army arrange a person to take the lead and contact these factories for outsourcing? I have asked several companies about this, and they are willing to cooperate with the military dependents in the army because it will be beneficial to their factory's reputation."

The brigade commander really didn't understand this. He hesitated for a few seconds and then asked, "How is the income?"

Tingting: "I asked around today. These are all piecemeal. The more you do, the more you earn. If you work hard, you can earn eight or nine yuan a month. If you work harder, it's not uncommon to earn more than ten or twenty yuan."

Don't underestimate this amount of money, it's a part-time job and if you save a little, it's enough for many families' food expenses for a month.

Of course, the reason why Li Ting was worried about all this was not because she was being careless.

Instead, he always adheres to the principle of taking care of himself when poor and helping the world when rich.

She is not a "rich" person, but she can make many people's lives much better with just a few words, so why not do it?

The brigade commander, who was sure that the income was considerable, slapped his thigh and said, "Take it. I'll send someone to negotiate later."

After saying this, the brigade commander looked at Li Ting again and praised him strongly: "Your sister-in-law is right. Xiao Li has a heart that selflessly dedicates itself to the people!"
