During the day, Jiang Huamei takes the lead, with Jiang He and his wife providing support. Together, the three of them take care of the two children. After Jiang Huamei gets off work at 6 p.m., Yang Xiaobei takes primary responsibility for the children, unless he's working overtime. Jiang Shushu also helps out after work, allowing Jiang He and his wife some time to relax and chat with neighbors, take a walk, and unwind.
Before 10:00 p.m., Jiang Shushu and his wife will be responsible for feeding the children and coaxing them to sleep. After the children fall asleep, they will hand them over to Jiang He and his wife, letting them sleep in the same room with them. At night, Jiang He and his wife are mainly responsible for the two children.
In the morning, Jiang Shushu and his wife took turns to prepare breakfast, allowing Jiang He and his wife and the child to rest a little longer. With this arrangement, everyone contributed, but no one was too tired.
Jiang He and his wife smile every day and praise the young couple to their neighbors again and again, making those elderly people who used to or still help take care of their grandchildren from morning to night out of love for the young people very envious, because when they were taking care of their children, the young people not only did not help, but also did not care, and some were even dissatisfied.
After hearing about this, several elderly people who were taking care of children followed the example of Jiang He and his wife. As soon as the children's parents got off work, they would throw the children to them and would not take over until the children fell asleep.
Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei returned to their room, and Jiang Shushu told them about the city government's recruitment.
"I know about this. Someone over there was involved in corruption a while ago, and they reported it to the police. It also led to other cases, and a large number of people were arrested, over 30. They might not have enough replacements over there, so they're looking for someone from your staff. If you're interested, you can give it a try. This opportunity is truly rare. Shushu, which position would you like?"
"Haha... I don't have any big ambitions. I think that job in the Information Department is pretty good. Isn't that what the older woman downstairs does? Once you get to know her, it's pretty relaxing. What do you think?" Anyway, I have everything I need, and I don't have any grand ambitions to become a powerful figure or dominate the world. Why not stay there for a few years? I'll just muddle through. If the social climate changes in a few years, I'll go out and start a small business or real estate. Then I'll have nothing to worry about in this life.
"That's true. If nothing major happens and you have a lot of free time after you get familiar with the subject, go ahead and take the exam if you'd like. I support you. Some of my colleagues have family members working at the municipal government. I'll ask them tomorrow to see how they recruited people in previous years and what they tested. That way, you can be prepared."
Yang Xiaobei thought for a moment and said, "But Shushu, there's something I need to tell you in advance. Your relationships with colleagues may not be as harmonious as they are now. You all have fixed positions now, so there's no conflict of interest, so you're all very harmonious. But the competition in the city government is fierce. Honestly, there aren't many stupid people who can make it there. 70% of them come from well-off families. Everyone wants a decent job with a good salary, so you have to be careful what you say and do there, and don't easily form cliques."
"I understand. I can handle it. I don't have any lofty goals that require me to step on others to climb up. I'll just do a leisurely job and I don't care what others do. Besides, I just want to give it a try. I'm not sure if I can pass the exam." I can think about the rest later. If I don't pass, it will be useless no matter how much I think about it.
"Okay, I'll ask for you tomorrow. Don't worry. Whether you pass the exam or not, you're the best in my heart."
"Thank you, that's such a sweet little mouth. I'm so happy to hear that."
…
The next day, Yang Xiaobei asked his colleagues about the city government's recruitment exam.
The next day, Jiang Shushu went to work. As soon as he walked to the east gate of the state-owned hotel, he saw Qian Xiaoni and others gathered together chatting.
"Good morning." I came 15 minutes early today on purpose, hoping to test everyone's opinion, but I didn't expect these people to come even earlier than me.
Qian Xiaoni: "Good morning, you're the only one missing. Come on, Shushu, are you ready to sign up?"
"I'm interested in this. What about you?" Jiang Shushu didn't say anything definite.
Zhang Zhian: "Haha... I'll forget it. Although I'm very interested in money, don't worry if you laugh at me. Last night I dreamed that hundreds of dollars fell from the sky and hit me. I was so happy! But I'm not interested in those jobs. I'd rather learn how to cook from my dad. I like cooking and I think it gives me a sense of accomplishment." I could only reluctantly wave goodbye to my few hundred dollars.
Han Ri: "Me too. I've been learning pastry making for so many years and I've developed an attachment to it. I really don't want to change my career suddenly. I'd rather stick to being a chef. I won't count on this sudden fortune." But I can still count on my wife.
Zheng Juanjuan: "I went home and thought about it all night, and I decided to participate. To be honest, I prefer my current job because I am really happy working here. But the salary is almost a thousand yuan, and I admit that I am really tempted. I will go for it, otherwise I am afraid I won't be able to sleep." The job search is so fierce now. If I sell this position, even if it is not 1,000, it will be at least 900. How can I not be tempted?
Qian Xiaoni: "I'm participating too, haha. Actually, I'm just like Sister Juanjuan. I don't have any big goals. I just want money to buy a job." With this money, I can become a wealthy woman immediately.
Jiang Shushu: “…” People die for money, birds die for food, everyone’s love of money is so similar!
Jiang Shushu chuckled, "So everyone thinks the same thing. Then I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I also want to fight for the money from selling my job, at least eight or nine hundred. I want to give my child the best. Raising a child costs money... You said God has put money right next to my mouth. Although I don't know if I can chew it, I have to give it a try, right? Otherwise, I really won't be able to sleep."
Everyone laughed after Jiang Shushu finished speaking.
Zhang Zhian: "Then I wish you three good luck. If you pass the exam, you can get two more dishes so that we can share in the good news. If you pass, I'll brag about it. I have friends working in the city government, so it's a great honor."
Han Ri: "Come on! I believe in you."
…
After Zheng Dayong came to open the door, Jiang Shushu and the other two went to Zheng Dayong to get the registration form to fill out.
On the evening of September 8th, when Jiang Shushu got off work, Yang Xiaobei handed him a stack of information. "This is a summary of exam questions from the past five years. Take a look. It might be helpful to you."
Jiang Shushu looked down and saw that there were hundreds of sheets, each as thick as half a finger. He knew that Yang Xiaobei had put a lot of effort into it.
"Thank you, Xiaobei. I will definitely study hard and take the exam seriously. I will not let down the information you worked so hard to find for me."
