He Fangfang hung up the phone and finally paid the 20.9 yuan phone bill, which immediately made her the focus of the whole audience. After all, it was rare to meet someone who could spend almost a month's salary to make a phone call throughout the year. It was not easy to meet such a stupid person, so she had to take a good look at him.
He Fangfang didn't feel it when she was talking on the phone, but when it came time to actually pay, she was heartbroken and wished time could go back. She would definitely not cry into the phone again, and if she had to cry, she would wait until Ayi came back.
When the three of them returned to the compound, Grandma Jin asked, "Is Zhou Yi coming back? Are you going to join the army?"
"Yes, he will be back in a few days. Ayi has been promoted to the rank of company commander for his meritorious service and can bring his family with him."
"It's fine to go with the army. It's not good for you and your wife to be apart for so long. As for the child, maybe you can have it when fate allows. Old Lady Zhou won't be able to trouble you anymore."
"I think so too." As long as he leaves here, he won't have to face the Zhou family's group of scoundrels anymore. As for the child, he really hopes that it will be like what Grandma Jin said.
Jiang Shushu was afraid that He Fangfang would confirm the job while chatting with Grandma Jin, and it would be too late to talk about it then, so he decided to act preemptively.
"Sister Fangfang, if I may ask, if you're joining the army, will you sell your job? If so, can you sell it to me?"
He Fangfang and Grandma Jin both turned to look at Jiang Shushu, one in surprise, the other frowning.
"Shushu, do you want to buy a job?" Jobs are not cheap. Does Shushu have so much money?
I had originally wanted to ask about Fangfang's job on behalf of my relative, but the girl had gotten there first, and now I'm stuck asking. This girl's family is from the countryside, so they probably don't have that much money, right? Fangfang's job is worth 700 yuan.
"Yes, I want to find a job. I just graduated from high school and still don't have a job. Today I went to the city to look for a job. Sister Fangfang, you name a price and I will give it to you according to the market price."
"This..." He Fangfang was at a loss for words. If she said too little, she wouldn't be happy. But if she said too much, she was worried Shushu didn't have enough money. After all, Shushu was her lifesaver. So He Fangfang turned to Grandma Jin, hoping she would speak for her.
Grandma Jin understood immediately and said, "Fangfang works at the east end of a state-owned restaurant. It's an easy job and she's a regular employee. She gets 25 yuan a month, and if she sells it, she'll get 700 yuan on the market."
Jiang Shushu didn't bargain. After all, he had found the money himself, so he spent it. "It's very reasonable. I can accept this price."
He Fangfang and Grandma Jin hadn't expected Jiang Shushu to be so forthcoming. "That's 700 yuan! Are rural families that wealthy these days? He just took it without batting an eye. He should at least have the nerve to bargain!"
He Fangfang and Grandma Jin immediately thought of their own small treasury, and then they found that their family assets were not as much as those of rural families, and they felt depressed.
He Fangfang: "Shushu, 700 yuan is not a small amount of money. Do you want to go home and discuss it with your parents?" Otherwise, you will be beaten by your parents when you go back.
Grandma Jin sighed in her heart. Alas, it seems that her relative has no chance of getting this job. The price is 700 yuan, and the girl didn't bargain at all. If her relative came, she would definitely bargain. The two are simply not comparable. She is embarrassed to ask Fangfang to give this job to her relative.
"Sister Fangfang, no need. I can make the decisions about my family's affairs." What was there to discuss? He was afraid that the longer the night, the more trouble he would have. It would be best if he could get things done today. After all, it was still early, and he had already brought his household registration booklet and graduation certificate.
"Sister Fangfang, it's still early. Can the work be handed over today? I have brought my household registration book and graduation certificate. I can give you the money today." If she doesn't get such a good job, she won't be able to sleep tonight.
"Ah, so soon?" The preparations are really complete. If someone doesn't know, they would think you were waiting for me to hand over the work.
"Quick? Not really! My dad said, if you hesitate when you should make a decision, you'll suffer the consequences. When you encounter the right thing to do, you must be brave enough to take action."
He Fangfang smiled awkwardly, "Your dad is quite special."
Anyway, as long as he wasn't embarrassed, it would be others who were embarrassed. Jiang Shushu took He Fangfang's words as a compliment: "Yes, my dad is quite interesting and has a lot of insights. Sister Fangfang, can we go through the procedures today?"
"Shushu, there's one more thing. The Zhou family is quite difficult to deal with. If they can't find me, they might come and cause trouble for you. Are you sure you still want this job? I originally wanted to find a family with many male descendants so that the Zhou family wouldn't dare to cause trouble."
"Don't worry, Sister Fangfang. I'm not afraid of this. I'm from the Hualing Brigade. Our village is not far from the city, only about half an hour's drive away. My family needs everything, but we definitely don't lack men. I have more than 100 uncles, cousins, and nephews in total." If the Zhou family dared to cause trouble for him, he would make them pay for it.
He Fangfang, Grandma Jin opened her mouth wide: "..." There are so many boys?
"Okay." After hearing what Jiang Shushu said, He Fangfang no longer had anything to worry about. She was also happy that the work could be sold so quickly.
Then He Fangfang wrote a transfer agreement in duplicate. After both parties signed it, they each took one copy.
He Fangfang took Jiang Shushu and walked towards where she worked - the state-owned hotel east.
"Our Q City is a small town, with only five state-owned restaurants, one each in the east, west, south, north, and center. We're on the east side of Q City, so my workplace is called State-Owned Restaurant East. My colleagues are very nice, and you'll see when you get to know them."
"Okay, Sister Fangfang, what are the working hours?" If it's too late, I still have to find a house in the city. I wonder if the house in He Fangfang's compound is for sale? I have to ask after I get the job. I can't be too greedy now. I have to take it one step at a time.
"In my case, I arrive at 8:30 in the morning, officially open at 9, and officially close at 7 in the evening..."
It’s quite late. It seems that I have to either rent or buy a house, or buy a car. Anyway, I don’t want to live in the dormitory.
I have my own secret space. Although I sleep very quietly, I'm not afraid of the worst. What if I accidentally dream or talk in my sleep? What if I let something slip? I have to sleep alone.
As He Fangfang was talking, she realized that Shushu had no place to live in the city, and the state-owned hotel had no dormitory. She had told Grandma Jin before that if she went to join the army, she would give priority to renting her house to Grandma Jin, and she definitely couldn't rent it to Shushu now.
I'll look for her myself these few days. If I can't find her, I'll have to ask Shushu's family to pick her up in the evening. Shushu hasn't asked about the dormitory, maybe she has already solved the accommodation problem?
