"Zhou's maternal relative behaved recklessly in Xiao Zhao's company and caused a lot of trouble for Xiao Zhao. In a fit of rage, Xiao Zhao kicked her out of the company and even threatened not to hire any relatives into the company anymore."

"You tell me, my Hongmei just started dating someone and she wants to arrange for him to work in the company. I'm afraid this marriage is going to fall through."

"But don't worry, if Xiao Zhao's company doesn't work out, we can try the food factory. But Hongmei is also working for someone else, so whether she can get in depends on her boss. You guys should sign up tomorrow. If you get in, that would be great. If not, we can think of other ways, okay?"

Having said that, the relatives have nothing to say.

Yu Jin'e and Shen Zhong's actions saved their family from trouble, but Shen Mingzhu was very busy.

Some came to ask for jobs, while others wanted her to help them find a match.

The news that Shen Mingzhu had found a rich husband for Shen Hongmei spread throughout the area dozens of miles around Shenjiagou.

Whenever there is an unmarried person in the family, they all want Shen Mingzhu to help introduce a beautiful, rich and beautiful woman or a wealthy husband from the city.

Regarding this idea, Shen Mingzhu just wants to say: Raise your pillow higher when you sleep at night, and you will dream about anything.

But if you really say such things, it will only offend people.

The experiences of suffering losses in the past made her deeply understand one thing: don't make enemies easily.

Because you never know when these people will stab you in the back.

For those who are looking for jobs, Shen Mingzhu asked Shen Hongmei to arrange them to fill out job application forms one by one. Those who can be retained will be retained, and those who cannot be retained will be transferred to the labor market.

There are plenty of job opportunities in the labor market, but the work may be relatively hard and tiring, and the income is not high.

It’s everyone’s choice whether to go or not, but she has arranged the work anyway.

At least for those who wanted to find a partner, Shen Mingzhu directly gave the matchmaking agency’s phone number and address.

Because they are from the same hometown, she can help pay the registration fee. As for whether they can find a suitable partner, it depends on their respective abilities and fate.

Matchmaking agencies in that era did not have as many fancy tricks as those in later generations. The registration fee was calculated per person, two yuan per person. After paying the money, the matchmaking agency would arrange a blind date.

However, you can only take the photo three times. If you exceed three times, you will have to pay again.

You know what, there were actually a few couples who got together, and most of the couples were girls.

Girls in rural areas are more pragmatic. As long as they are good-looking and hardworking, they will have no trouble finding a husband.

In comparison, it is much more difficult for young people in rural areas to find a wife, as it is mostly because of poverty.

For such people, Shen Mingzhu always advises them to find a job first.

Marry a man to get clothes and food. If you don't have a job and can't earn money, why would a girl marry you?

Although Shen Mingzhu handled these things with ease, Shen Hongmei felt very guilty and felt that she was causing trouble for Shen Mingzhu.

In particular, Yu Jin'e and Shen Zhong were very unkind in pushing their relatives to the food factory.

Shen Mingzhu wasn't very angry.

You reap what you sow. It was she who first meddled in other people's business and criticized Yu Jin'e, which led to all the subsequent events.

If it were someone else's business, she might not care, but Shen Hongmei was not only her trusted subordinate but also her close friend. She sincerely hoped that Shen Hongmei and Zhao Dafa could achieve a happy ending.

Even if it caused some trouble, she was willing to do it.

She also took the opportunity to remind Shen Hongmei, "When you and Brother Zhao really become a family in the future, similar interpersonal relationships are inevitable. I have set an example for you. If your family members come to you for help in the future, you can follow my example to solve the problem."

"Try not to get angry about things that can be solved with a little money."

Shen Hongmei nodded and took note of it.

Time flies, and winter has arrived again. Although it is not yet snowing, pedestrians on the street are all wrapped in cotton-padded jackets.

Taking advantage of the good weather on the weekend, Shen Mingzhu built two rows of clothes drying racks with bamboo poles in the yard, and took out the cotton and down jackets of the family of four, and dried them in the sun to get rid of the musty smell.

While I was busy, Pei Ke and Cui Lianying came over uninvited.

"Uncle, Aunt Cui, when did you come back?"

After the wedding at the beginning of the month, Pei Ke took Cui Lianying to Hong Kong for their honeymoon.

Of course, the honeymoon is only one aspect, the other is also to take Cui Lianying to meet some old friends in Hong Kong.

Seeing Shen Mingzhu busy, Cui Lianying immediately rolled up his sleeves to help.

Pei Ke was also helping out and telling Shen Mingzhu about his experiences outside during this period.

After hanging up the clothes, the couple took out the gifts they brought for the family of four.

There is everything you need, including food, clothing, and daily necessities, as well as some medicines and health products that are not available in China.

During lunch, Cui Lianying learned that Shen Mingzhu had not found a suitable nanny, so she offered to give it a try.

Shen Mingzhu originally had not considered asking relatives to work at home, especially since Cui Lianying was her elder.

With Pei Ke's intercession and Cui Lianying's insistence, Shen Mingzhu had no choice but to agree to let Cui Lianying be on trial for one month.

There are no holidays during the probation period. You work from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. every day and are mainly responsible for lunch and dinner, as well as household hygiene. The probationary salary is 50 yuan.

The work is not hard, but it is not easy either.

Deep down, she hoped that Cui Lianying would give up.

After a few days passed, Cui Lianying not only did not retreat, but became more and more adept at his work. Every day the house was clean and bright, which made Shen Mingzhu feel reluctant to leave.

It is not easy to find a nanny who is both suitable and reliable.

During this period, I tried out four or five nannies. Some of them were careless, some did not pay attention to personal hygiene, some were talkative and gossipy, and some even had dirty hands and feet.

After consulting with her family, Shen Mingzhu made Cui Lianying a regular employee ahead of schedule. Her salary was the same as Sister Yu's, 70 yuan per month, with benefits and red envelopes for festivals and birthdays, and four days of vacation every month.

…

As the first snow of the year fell in Fengcheng, the cold wave of layoffs also blew into the hearts of every employee in the cotton mill.

"Alas, this day has finally come. For a family like ours, with old people and young children, how are we going to live from now on?"

The sigh of one employee was echoed by many people, but more people had numbness and confusion on their faces.

"Wen Ping, do you want to stay or take the money and leave?"

The cotton mill was restructured, not closed down, and there were three ways of making arrangements for its original employees.

One is the replacement of identity, where a stable job becomes a contract worker.

The second option is to use money to buy out seniority and find a way out on your own.

Third, if you retire early, the factory will give you certain equity or financial compensation.

Pei Wenping has not yet reached the retirement age, so she can only choose the first two.

But it is not possible to stay, and you may not be able to return to your original position. You may be transferred to a workshop as an ordinary worker, which is not only tiring but also low-paid. So it is not an easy choice to stay or leave. (End of this chapter)
