When Li Cheng'an opened the room, he found it much cleaner than before, and more importantly, the blankets on the bed were gone.
It's obvious who took it. Did she take it to wash?
At the dinner table, watching the woman across from him eat quietly, Li Cheng'an hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Um..."
Looking into his mother's eyes, he immediately fell silent.
Su Jingjing asked softly, "An'an, what's wrong?"
It was rare for the brat to speak up, so she was quite curious about what he would say.
To avoid his mother making fun of him, he changed his question, "Where did my blanket go in my room?"
Su Jingjing ignored the blankets in the man's room. "I washed all the blankets this morning. They may need to be aired for a day. You and your sister can take a nap later. I have a thin blanket here."
She had considered this beforehand and deliberately left a thin blanket.
Li Cheng'an, like a docile kitten, simply said "Oh" and lowered his head to eat.
If this continued, he felt he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
No, no, Li Cheng'an, don't forget how she treated her younger sister when she was little.
If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have to sneak around when they met with their grandmother.
Su Jingjing couldn't understand why the brat's expression suddenly changed, acting so startled. She really couldn't understand this father and son.
After a busy morning, Su Jingjing spent the entire afternoon lying around, feeling sore all over, whether from not having worked for too long or from her own lack of physical agility.
The next day, after finishing breakfast, Su Jingjing rushed to catch the early bus.
When Li Hanting returned from training, he found the room empty. He ate breakfast alone, but it tasted bland.
These past few days, he would linger at home for a little while after breakfast. Today, seeing that Su Jingjing wasn't home, he immediately returned to his office.
Liu Yang was standing guard at the gate when he saw Commander Li walking over from not far away. He couldn't help but wonder, wasn't it still early today?
Before he could even salute, Commander Li spoke up, "Xiao Liu, could you go and find out where Madam is?"
lady?
Liu Yang was momentarily stunned; it was truly unbelievable that those two words would come from the commander's mouth.
"Hurry up and go, what are you standing there for?"
"Oh, oh, oh."
Liu Yang immediately regained his composure and nodded firmly, "I'll go right away."
Oh no, has the commander's wife run away?
Li Hanting didn't think too deeply about it; he was actually more worried about Su Jingjing's safety.
Liu Yang, nicknamed "Little Smarty," found out the regimental commander's wife's whereabouts in less than ten minutes.
"Report."
"Please come in."
Li Hanting paced back and forth in his office. Hearing Liu Yang's voice, he immediately turned around and asked anxiously, "How is she? Where did she go?"
"Reporting to the commander, the lady took a car towards the city this morning."
Why are we going to the city again?
Are we supposed to give that pretty boy thirty yuan?
Thinking back to the previous gossip, Li Hanting's face grew even more gloomy. Could she really have gone to see that man?
Liu Yang stood to the side trembling. Why did the commander look like he was about to eat someone alive? Was it too late for him to sneak away now?
At this moment, Su Jingjing had just arrived in the city by car. The roads in the 1980s were winding and twisting. The car ride was so bumpy that she felt dizzy. Even though she never gets carsick, she felt lightheaded.
As soon as I got out of the car, I leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.
Whew, I almost threw up my breakfast.
The first two times I didn't have such a strong reaction, but today for some reason, the ride was extremely bumpy.
Fortunately, I didn't run into any acquaintances from the family compound this time. But they don't have the spare money to come to the city to shop; they only come once a month at most.
After living here for the past few days, Su Jingjing finally understood the hardships faced by women in the 1980s. They were constantly revolving around the men and children in their families, and perhaps because they had never been to school, they couldn't find work to support their families.
No, she can't go with the flow.
Although the Li family was wealthy, she didn't want to ask for money. Striving to be a modern woman, she decided to first see what jobs were available in the city.
She wandered from the east side of the city to the west side, but couldn't find a satisfactory job. The only options were factories or restaurants where she could wash dishes. Naturally, Su Jingjing didn't want to do these kinds of jobs.
In the 1980s, factory work was highly sought after, and one could earn more than thirty yuan a month, which was more than enough for a family.
Su Jingjing was not satisfied with thirty yuan. She was someone who pursued a high quality of life, and thirty yuan was not enough for her to live a comfortable life.
Who could have imagined that a few years later, all of these workers would face the prospect of being laid off?
She was happy to set up a stall, but unfortunately no one dared to defy the rules. Even now, in this new era of reform and opening up, there are still very few people setting up stalls on the street.
Su Jingjing considered that living in the military area would be too troublesome, and besides, the thought of taking the early bus every day made her scalp tingle.
But what other jobs can I do?
Just as Su Jingjing was feeling confident, she glanced up and saw a job posting on the wall. Out of curiosity, she went closer to take a look and found that a newspaper was recruiting English translators.
I almost forgot, she has an English proficiency level of 8, and coupled with her interest in English since childhood, her English has always been outstanding, and she has no problem communicating with some foreigners.
Just as Su Jingjing was overjoyed, she accidentally saw the date in the lower right corner, and her smile instantly froze on her lips.
This was a job posting from a month ago, and I don't know if they've found anyone.
Regardless, we should ask about it.
Following the address in the newspaper, and of course asking for directions along the way, I finally found the newspaper office.
The signboard clearly reads "Shuqi Newspaper Office," and while the exterior decorations are ordinary, the interior has a unique charm.
There was someone dozing at the door, and Su Jingjing walked over and greeted them gently.
The man paused for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and instantly perked up.
Who are you looking for?
Holding the newspaper, Su Jingjing asked, "Are you still hiring English translators?"
"Here, here, here... Go to the innermost office, our president is inside."
Su Jingjing was secretly delighted. So they hadn't recruited anyone yet, which meant she still had a chance.
After knocking and receiving permission, she gently pushed the door open and went inside.
The office was rather simple and simply decorated. A man in his forties sat at the desk, wearing reading glasses. Although he was old, he exuded an air of scholarly refinement.
Lin Jianji adjusted his glasses, looked Su Jingjing up and down for a moment, and asked, "May I ask who you are...?"
Su Jingjing smiled politely and explained her purpose, but was immediately interrupted before she could continue.
Lin Jianji casually took out an English document from the drawer and said indifferently, "Ms. Su, hello, I am the president of this company. Please translate this document first, and then we can proceed to the next step."
In the past month, so many people have come to recruit, and while they all seem smart, none of them have any real skills. He's given up hope.
