State-owned hotel
"What about the interview? Are there any requirements?"
"Just introduce yourself in front of the leader, then read an article, and answer a few questions after the interview. It's very simple. Don't be nervous. There are definitely requirements. The hard conditions are that you have a good appearance, can speak Mandarin, can read, and it's best if you can write some manuscripts yourself..." "
But don't worry, I think you can definitely pass the interview." Huang Yali waved her hands, and she was very confident in Liang Qingqing.
What Huang Xiaoli said was almost the same as what Liang Qingqing had guessed before. After hearing this, her heart finally fell down. When the time comes, Hongmiao Commune will probably recruit people according to what Huang Yali said.
Without a lot of shady operations, her chances of appearing in public have greatly increased. Apart from other things, she has practiced for so long in advance, which gives her many advantages over others.
Thinking of this, Liang Qingqing's smile deepened. She was very grateful to Huang Yali. In addition, she was interested in making friends with her. She rolled her eyes and immediately took out two juicy peaches from the bag in Fan Yanxing's hand. "Thank you for telling me this news. I am really grateful. Take these two peaches and eat them."
Looking at the pink peaches stuffed into her arms, Huang Yali's eyes flashed. When she saw these peaches when she passed by the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday, she wanted to buy them, but she couldn't bear to buy them because of the price. Who would have thought that today she just said a few more words of news that was not a secret, and the girl in front of her gave her two peaches.
Seeing that both of them were dressed expensively, had excellent temperament, and were generous, it was estimated that although they were from the countryside, they must be decent and particular about people, and they might even be educated youths from a good family.
But no matter what, she liked Liang Qingqing's personality! She was neither humble nor arrogant, beautiful and respectful, and had a perfect grasp of the ways of the world. The only word to describe getting along with such a person was comfortable.
She wanted to make friends with this person!
Huang Yali made up her mind, and seeing that Liang Qingqing was generous, she did not refuse. She raised her two fist-sized peaches and smiled, "Comrade Liang is so good to me, so I can't accept it for nothing. It's just right that I can tell you about the usual precautions of the announcer before work."
"Don't call me Comrade Liang, call me Qingqing." Liang Qingqing curled the corners of her lips, her eyes were dark and bright.
"Then you can call me Yali too."
The two of them hit it off immediately, leaving Fan Yanxing behind completely, and started talking about the topic of announcers. But how long could they talk about this? Soon they talked about clothes, hairstyles, hair ties...
Girls, especially those who love beauty, always have endless things to talk about.
Huang Yali also went to her workstation and brought back three new hair ties, which were hung with colorful decorations, including yellow stars and red flowers. They were all bright colors. If worn on the head, they could add a touch of color to the black, white and gray clothes that were usually worn. They were very popular among girls of this era. They were not too eye-catching, but very beautiful.
But the patterns on this hair rope are also exquisite. The cheap ones are just the same, and most people can't afford the expensive ones, so if someone wears a new style, they will be chased and questioned for a long time.
"This is what my aunt bought for me when she went on a business trip to the provincial capital. It's not sold in the county town."
"It's so beautiful!"
"What's so beautiful?" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly came from outside. Everyone turned around and saw Li Qingfeng standing at the door with a bag in her hand. "Qingqing sister, why are you here?"
Li Qingfeng was not sure at first, until she saw Liang Qingqing's beautiful face clearly, she smiled.
"Yali gave me some hair bands, we were just talking about it." Liang Qingqing stood up from the bench and walked to Li Qingfeng, two faint dimples on her face, the sunlight shining on her porcelain-white skin made her look even brighter.
"I came here to see you, Sister Feng, and I'll give you something by the way."
As soon as the voice fell, Fan Yanxing, who was standing by, handed over the watermelon and peaches he was carrying.
"Oh, you're here, so why are you bringing anything?" Li Qingfeng was stunned when she heard Liang Qingqing address Huang Yali. It should be the first time they met, and she didn't know how they got so close. However, friendships between young girls always come quickly, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.
Instead, she was surprised for a long time after seeing the things in the bag. She didn't expect that Liang Qingqing still remembered her after not seeing her for so long, and even sent her so many good things.
"You helped me a lot last time. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Sister Feng, please don't be polite to me." Liang Qingqing's voice was soft and intimate, and no one could bear to refuse her.
Li Qingfeng pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but after meeting Liang Qingqing's sincere eyes, she finally nodded, took the two bags from Fan Yanxing, and her eyes fell on him. Looking at the tall and handsome man in front of her, an idea flashed in her mind, and she looked at Liang Qingqing and asked, "Who is this?"
"My boyfriend." Liang Qingqing introduced Fan Yanxing, and she was like a fish in water, without any discomfort or awkwardness.
Fan Yanxing also liked her attitude. She explained the relationship between the two of them openly and without hiding anything, which made him feel like he could see the light of day. But he didn't know when he could get this kind of treatment in front of her relatives. Hey, it's a long road, so let's take it step by step.
The educated youth site will be built soon, and when he moves out of the Liang family, he can make the relationship public!
At this time, Fan Yanxing didn't know how disliked he was by his mother-in-law. Some things should not be celebrated too early! Of course, this is all later.
"Hello, Sister Feng, my name is Fan Yanxing, and I'm Qingqing's boyfriend."
The guess was confirmed, and Li Qingfeng couldn't help but look at Fan Yanxing a few more times. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was. His standard Mandarin also made her feel comfortable. After working in the radio station for a long time, she liked this kind of young, handsome boy who spoke good Mandarin!
What's more, the man in front of her was dressed neatly, exuding a heroic and upright sunshine. At first glance, he was a serious and positive young man, and he was a perfect match for a beautiful and sensible girl like Qingqing.
"Hello, hello." Li Qingfeng smiled so that her eyes curved into crescent shapes. She remembered something and quickly took out the bag at hand, "I made some pork fried dumplings, you guys can all try them."
She has been very busy recently, and she will probably have to work overtime again tonight, so she made up her mind to make some dumplings to reward herself. She brought these dumplings here to prepare for dinner and midnight snacks, but she couldn't care about these now. At most, she could go to the cafeteria or the state-owned hotel to eat in the afternoon.
People gave her such good fruits, so she naturally had to show her appreciation.
Otherwise, she would feel uneasy if she took other people's things for nothing.
Unfortunately, Liang Qingqing refused her, "Forget it this time, I still have to accompany him to mail the letters, otherwise there will be too many people later, and we may not be able to get a place in line."
Today is a holiday in many towns in the countryside. It is estimated that many people will come to the county to mail letters. If you don't go there early to queue up, you may be left behind and may not be able to queue up until the post office closes.
"Then next time you come to see me, Sister Feng will take you to my house for dinner." Li Qingfeng grew up in the county and naturally understood this. She and Huang Yali could only send them to the door.
Seeing them disappear at the corner of the street, the two of them retracted their sight. Li Qingfeng learned from Huang Yali that Liang Qingqing was going to participate in the selection of rural announcers. She couldn't help but smile with relief: "She is ambitious. If she had a city hukou..." If she
is well trained, it is not impossible for her to enter the provincial radio bureau in the future!
But it's useless to say this. The current recruitment restrictions are here. Unless you have connections, jobs in the city are very hard to come by. People in the city are fighting for them, so how can people from the countryside get a chance?
Huang Xiaoli understood the unfinished meaning. She agreed, "Qingqing speaks better Mandarin than me. It's a pity."
The two looked at each other and sighed.
Liang Qingqing and Fan Yanxing went to the post office first. Next to the post office was a state-owned hotel. Fan Yanxing didn't want her to wait with him in the hot sun, so he asked her to go inside to order the food and come back after he was done.
"There is an umbrella." Liang Qingqing glanced at the big black umbrella above her head, but in the hot sun at noon, most of her calves were still exposed. The fabric of her skirt was thick and not breathable, like wearing a cumbersome stove.
She actually wanted to stay indoors in the cooler climate, but she said considerately and obediently: "You are so bored here alone, I want to chat with you to pass the time."
These words made Fan Yanxing's lips rise, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, but he still frowned and whispered: "Be good, go inside and wait."
"But..."
Fan Yanxing narrowed his eyes and made a look that could not be refused. Liang Qingqing was happy in her heart, but on the surface she still pretended to be embarrassed and helpless, looking back at him every few steps, and she was reluctant to leave.
Who knew that she was almost at the door of the state-owned hotel, but she ran back. Fan Yanxing was about to ask helplessly, when she raised her little face and asked, "What do you want to eat?" At
this moment, Fan Yanxing's heart was wrapped in tenderness. He resisted the urge to lower his head and kiss her, and pinched his palm, "I'm not picky about food. I will eat whatever you eat. Pick what you want to eat."
"Okay then." Liang Qingqing nodded her head and reminded, "Come to me as soon as you send the letter."
"Okay."
Liang Qingqing smiled only after she stepped into the state-owned hotel and could no longer see Fan Yanxing. She happily found a cool window seat and sat down. The table was empty, with nothing on it. This was her first time eating in a state-owned hotel. She looked around curiously for a while, then looked away.
"What would you like to eat, female comrade?" The waiter came up quickly. Seeing that she was good-looking and wearing a blouse, the smile on her face deepened a little. "All the dishes on the wall, except the one on the far right, can be made today."
Some ingredients are not available every day, and except for a few popular dishes, some dishes may not be made even if ordered.
Liang Qingqing looked up at the wall not far away. There was a piece of red paper with the names of dishes written in black ink. The dazzling array of dishes almost dazzled her eyes. She looked around and ordered her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, then coriander beef, stir-fried water spinach, tomato scrambled eggs, and two bowls of rice.
"You ordered so much, will you not be able to finish it by yourself?" The waiter kindly reminded her.
