070: Tired little face turns yellow
After a round of flattery, Jia Song felt very comfortable.
"But----" Jia Song was still a little hesitant.
"But what?" Yu Xiaoye washed his hands and shook off the water.
Jia Song paused and said worriedly:
"But what if I can't hold back my laughter?"
Yu Xiaoye advised:
"It's in our company anyway, and we're not going to perform outside. If you laugh, you can laugh. Then continue the performance. No one will hold you responsible."
Jia Song: What you said seems to make some sense.
Jia Song suddenly began to wonder, why was he, a high school graduate, well-read and talented, always being led by the nose by this little girl who had only attended literacy classes?
That doesn't make sense—
Logically speaking, shouldn't the little girl follow him with admiration on her face and believe everything he says?
How come it's the other way around?
But no matter what, Jia Song was indeed convinced.
After Jia Song returned to his office, he re-copied the script that was full of typos and gave him a headache.
After copying it, I felt more and more uncomfortable looking at Yu Xiao's handwriting that looked like pheasant claws.
Unable to bear it any longer, he called Yu Xiaoye to his office again and instructed her word by word, teaching her everything she didn't know and correcting her spelling mistakes.
He also took out a primary school student's homework book and asked Yu Xiaoye to rewrite the things he didn't know or made mistakes.
He didn't let Yu Xiaoye go until she corrected all the typos.
I have to say that the little girl is very smart and can learn things easily. If she is given some guidance, she will definitely have a bright future.
Jia Song suddenly had an idea of loving talent and wanted to cultivate this talent well.
It would be a shame to leave such a smart girl at home to do laundry and cooking, get married and have children early in the future, and then be dragged down by the heavy workload and become a haggard woman. We must find a way to promote her and save the girl.
Jia Song kept this in mind and planned to find a suitable opportunity in the future to bring Yu Xiaoye out and find her a formal job.
For now, this is all we can do.
On the other side, Yu Xiaoye didn't know that he had been targeted by Director Jia.
If she knew that Secretary Jia wanted to assign her a job, she would definitely be unhappy.
How much can you earn working on a farm in a month? Only twenty-eight dollars!
Although together with my father's salary, it is fifty-six dollars.
But this amount of money is only enough for their family to survive, and it is far from the "life" they want.
If they want to achieve the standard of living they want, they cannot rely on the fixed salary on the farm, but must develop their own business and earn some extra money.
For example, the shrimp paste business she had discussed with her mother before.
It’s also because the house repair work has been too urgent these days and I haven’t had time to do anything else.
During that day, she and Yu Jiahui repaired the collapsed stove and the chimney, and through Jia Song's connections, they got ready-made thatch from the barn.
The thatch was also cut last autumn so that it could be kept until this spring so that each household and dormitory could repair the roof before the rainy season arrives to avoid leaks.
Jia Song borrowed a flatbed truck for them, and Yu Xiaoye pulled the thatch to his yard. He and his father figured out how to tie the thatch into bundles and how to put them on the roof.
He even climbed onto other people's roofs to see how they did it.
There were also several enthusiastic women who came to teach them.
With the help of others and my own exploration, I was able to cover the four main rooms with new grass.
Now, the house looks brand new and very beautiful!
After finishing all these tasks, it was almost dark.
Yu Xiaoye tiredly pulled the flatbed cart to return the ladder and other tools.
Every day, I open my eyes and start working. There is not a single day of rest. When can I really rest?!
I really want to lie on the deck of the yacht all day!
The flatbed truck stopped in front of the office door. Jia Song was sitting in the office staring at his watch, preparing to play music and broadcast on time.
Turning his head, he saw Yu Xiaoye coming out of the window. He quickly got up and ran out. Seeing Yu Xiaoye's tired face, he said:
"You need to stop for a while and take some time to rehearse that play. May Day is only a week away. Don't let it be performed by then."
Yu Xiaoye was listless:
"I wrote the script, I'm very familiar with it. Brother Jia, just memorize the lines, and then we'll rehearse together. I guarantee it will go smoothly."
"No, you have to stop what you're doing tomorrow and come to my office to rehearse the play. I'll go get a few more shows tonight and we can rehearse together then."
Yu Xiaoye said indifferently:
"I'm not a farm worker. I'm just the child of a farm worker. I don't get paid, so I don't have to listen to Director Jia's arrangements, right?"
Jia Song's expression gradually froze.
After a moment of silence, I suddenly remembered something. Damn it, I still have to play the radio!
I looked at my watch and found that the time was already past. I hurried back to the office, turned on the microphone and speaker, started telling the time on the hour, and then played the song "Returning from Target Practice" again.
When the broadcast was over and I came out, Yu Xiaoye had already left.
After Yu Xiaoye got home, he took his lunch box to the cafeteria to get some food.
Today's dinner is cornmeal steamed cakes again. The cornmeal steamed cakes they made the day before yesterday are still in the yacht kitchen. Except for the occasional bite when they are extremely hungry, no one wants to eat them.
Yu Xiaoye only took half a steamed cake from the basket and prepared to return it to the educated youth wearing glasses. He also discussed with the chef in the kitchen to make two servings of vegetable soup.
The soup tonight seems pretty good. It’s a wild vegetable soup with some egg drops and mushrooms in it. It looks like it should be delicious.
There were not many people coming to get food at that time. The fat chef saw that she was a thin and small girl, so he didn't make things difficult for her and let her get two servings of vegetable soup.
She took the soup and the half cake to the office and handed the half cake to the
Give it to Jia Song and ask him to pass it on to the male educated youth wearing glasses.
Jia Song looked at the half piece of steamed cake and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said that he just wanted to tease the male educated youth named Lin Maosheng that day.
Lin Maosheng was universally recognized as the stingiest person in the entire company, even stingier than Widow Wang, the poorest person in the company.
How stingy are you?
If you lose a needle, you have to search the entire dormitory to find it.
If he had something delicious, he would never eat it in front of others. He would hide it in a urine bucket that had never been used, and then lock the urine bucket in a box. He would secretly take it out and eat it when no one was around, and never share it with others.
But every time someone takes out something delicious, such as biscuits or meat sauce, he is the first one to go there.
People in the dormitory usually can't stand his stingy and mean-spirited behavior, but they are too embarrassed to say it to his face.
Jia Song was too lazy to pay attention.
Yesterday, Jia Song discovered that Lin Maosheng was secretly using his soap. If Lin Maosheng had told him after using up his soap, Jia Song wouldn't have cared. He wasn't such a stingy person.
But Lin Maosheng used it up secretly without saying anything, and passed by Jia Song as if nothing had happened.
When Jia Song went to get the soap, he found that the soap was wet. Only then did he realize that Lin Maosheng had just used his soap.
