However, this news was not completely useless to her. After expressing her gratitude and then finding an excuse to decline, Jianshu asked Uncle Chen about the selection criteria. After learning that there was a nursery in addition to the Yuhong class, she immediately had an idea.
She can't go, but Wu Xiufang can.
She had considered this when she had advised her to free herself from housework.
The third step to change yourself is to find a job.
Only with a job and income can she have the confidence, gradually become self-confident, and fundamentally change herself.
Economic foundation is the key guarantee for women's independence.
Originally, she wanted to let Wu Xiufang study first, and then go to night school to get a diploma. With her qualifications and elementary school diploma, she would definitely be given priority when a job became available.
After all, there were only a few high school graduates in the family compound, and even fewer who graduated from junior high school, and most of them already had jobs. Of the remaining people, Wu Xiufang was on par in every way.
But this method is a bit slow. Even with her help, it will take at least one or two years.
The news of the nursery opening has greatly advanced the timeline. I imagine that once the news gets out, things in the family compound will be in turmoil.
"Really? If so, that would be great. But I don't know what the selection criteria are. Will I not be selected?" Wu Xiufang was very surprised. She didn't ask Jianshu where he got the news. She was just worried that she would not be selected.
Jian Shu nodded. "I think we'll be announcing the news in a couple of days. Sister-in-law, you have to have confidence in yourself. Daycare is all about taking care of children. It doesn't require a high level of education. You've raised four children, so you have enough experience. You shouldn't be afraid of being outcompeted by others. Besides, we're not just hiring one or two people, so there's a lot of opportunity."
"You're right. I've been helping my mother take care of my younger siblings since they were little. I've been raising Tiedan and the others all by myself since they were little. I'm quite experienced in taking care of children." Speaking of taking care of children, Wu Xiufang regained her confidence. She might feel a little timid when asked to do other things, but she wasn't afraid of taking care of children at all.
After all, as a military wife, her husband's family didn't help at all, so she took care of the child alone from birth to adulthood.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiufang felt a little melancholy. Who would have thought that the energy she put in to raise her child alone with gritted teeth and tears would now become her reliance for finding a job?
Jian Shu nodded. "Sister-in-law, you can go back and prepare. There will definitely be an assessment, so don't let anything go wrong at the last minute. But don't let this news spread. Just keep it to yourself. It's best to keep it a secret from your family for now."
"Oh, I know that, and I won't tell anyone," Wu Xiufang agreed quickly. Jian Shu telling her the news was already great, and she couldn't afford to make things difficult for him.
She remembered this kindness.
Although the job has not been finalized yet, it is basically done. With Wu Xiufang's ability, it should be no problem.
Jianshu relaxed all of a sudden. She had done everything she could. As for what would happen in the future, that depended on herself.
"Shushu, are you going to sign up for the teacher selection for the Yuhong class this time? If you go, we can go together." After the matter was resolved, Wu Xiufang did not forget to care about Jianshu.
Jian Shu shook his head. "Sister-in-law, you go. I'm different from you. I'm lazy and can't handle those kids. If I really go, I'll be misleading the students."
"Nonsense, you are a high school student. There are not many people in our family compound who can compare to you. And don't you get along well with Tiedan and the others?" Wu Xiufang disagreed with her. High school students? Her current wish is that several children in her family can also be high school students, so that they will not follow her old path.
People will always be trapped throughout their lives by things that they could not obtain when they were young.
Wu Xiufang was unable to go to school in the past, but now she wants all her children to go to school; she has no academic qualifications, but hopes that her children can have a high level of education.
Not only that, she also has more respect for people with higher education. The reason why she listened to Jianshu's advice so quickly before cannot be said to be without this reason.
After all, in her opinion, Jianshu has a high level of education, knows a lot, and what he says makes more sense.
Of course, this is also because she believes in Jianshu's character. It would not be so easy to replace him with someone else.
Jian Shu played with the empty cup on the table and laughed, "It's good as a playmate, but not as a teacher."
She can do whatever she wants when playing together, but she can't do that when she's a teacher. There are too many concerns, and she doesn't want to coax children.
Wu Xiufang seemed to understand, "Then I won't persuade you. I think with your education level, it won't be difficult for you to find a job. If you miss this time, there will always be next time. You must know that. But can you accompany me when the time comes to register? To be honest, I'm still a little nervous." She smiled helplessly at the end.
She had high hopes for this job. After all, if she missed it this time, she might never have another chance.
Jian Shu readily agreed to such a small matter, "No problem, just come find me when the time comes."
Wu Xiufang smiled and said, "Shushu, thank you. Whether you pass or not, your sister-in-law will treat you to a meal."
"Then I'll wait to celebrate with my sister-in-law. She won't be stingy and complain that I ate too much." Jian Shu didn't refuse. Favors shouldn't be delayed and must be resolved quickly, otherwise things could go wrong. Friendships last only when they are equal.
"I'll give you some good luck!"
The two changed the topic and chatted for a long time until Gu Mingjing came back, and Wu Xiufang said goodbye.
"Will you be unhappy if I don't go to work?" Jian Shu hugged Gu Mingjing's waist from behind, lay on his back, and asked softly.
Gu Mingjing was chopping vegetables and didn't stop when he heard this. "Why are you unhappy? Our family is not short of money. As long as it doesn't violate morality or the law, you can do whatever you want. What matters most is that you like it."
"Like you like being a soldier?" Jian Shu asked.
"Of course! This has been my dream since I was a child." Gu Mingjing said in a firm and powerful tone.
This is not only his job, but also his belief, and he will fight for this belief all his life.
So he would not have any dissatisfaction with Jianshu's choice. Everyone has different ideals, and he would respect whatever she chose.
