"What nonsense are you still talking about? Calm down quickly." Sun Qiuyu scolded her mother when he saw her mother gasping for breath.
"Divorce her..." Mother Sun completely ignored what Sun Qiuyu said. She stared at Wu Qiuju unwillingly, and her breathing became heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, his head tilted and his arms fell limply.
"Mom—" Sun Qiuyu shouted in a terrified tone.
He nervously placed his finger between his mother's nose and held his breath. After a while, he felt a faint breath and suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
"Mom is still alive, hurry up and send her to the clinic!"
However, no one paid any attention to Sun Qiuyu.
Sun's father was used to being silent and always stood by and watched coldly. Wu Qiuju, feeling so disappointed, wished Sun's mother would die, so how could she help?
Sun Qiuyu was furious and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and push the cart over here!"
At this moment, Dad Sun finally reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream.
But Wu Qiuju pretended not to hear and remained motionless with an indifferent expression.
Sun Qiuyu was furious when he saw this.
However, now was not the time to be angry. He and Sun's father pushed the flatbed cart in a hurry to the clinic, and happened to pass by Zheng Dandan who was coming to Ginkgo Village.
"The people who just passed by seemed to be from the Sun family. Old Mrs. Sun was lying in the car and didn't look well." Tan Xueming retracted his gaze from the car window and looked at Zheng Dandan to remind her.
"Yes, I saw it." Zheng Dandan said in a light tone, without any emotion. The Sun family was just strangers to her. She was more concerned about the purpose of her trip - recruiting workers.
"Dandan, you are finally here. The villagers are waiting for you in the factory!" The village chief looked at Zheng Dandan with joy. He knew in advance that Zheng Dandan would come to recruit workers today, and he had been waiting at the village entrance for a long time.
"Then let's go there quickly." Zheng Dandan nodded without wasting any time.
"Dandan, according to the requirements given by Assistant Tan, the first two hundred people who registered are waiting in the factory for assessment. How many people do you plan to recruit?" On the way, the village chief asked Zheng Dandan.
"The number of recruits depends on their assessment results. The more qualified candidates, the more we can recruit. If there are few qualified candidates, we would rather have no one than hire unqualified ones." Zheng Dandan said without hesitation.
"Dandan, the people in our village are all peasants. They are definitely not as capable as your father. You can't hold them to your father's standards." The village chief said with a smile. He was really worried about the villagers' abilities.
"Village chief, I have great confidence in our fellow villagers." Zheng Dandan smiled confidently.
The village chief choked when he saw Zheng Dandan's sincere expression. He was very puzzled where Zheng Dandan's confidence came from...
We talked all the way and soon arrived at the cannery.
The villagers waiting in the factory knew that Zheng Dandan had arrived, and immediately caused a commotion.
"Dandan, you're here!"
"Dandan, I'm Uncle Heming who watched you grow up. You must recruit me!"
"Dandan, I have an elementary school diploma and can read, so you can bet on me!"
"Humph, what's the point of an elementary school diploma? I went to junior high school!"
"You haven't even graduated yet, but you've only studied one grade longer than me. What are you so proud of?"
In the relatively small, enclosed space, two hundred people chattered loudly. Their voices were so loud that Zheng Dandan felt like her head was about to explode. It was even noisier than a vegetable market in later times!
"Quiet!" Tan Xueming saw that Zheng Dandan was uncomfortable and said loudly.
Most of the villagers couldn't hear anything at all, and continued to talk one after another, recommending themselves and criticizing each other.
"I told you to be quiet!" The village chief's face turned pale. He picked up the loudspeaker and said sternly, "Can't you hear me? Do you still want to recruit workers?"
The sound of the loudspeaker spread throughout the factory. When the villagers heard it, they looked at each other and shut up in anger.
"If you have anything to say, just use the loudspeaker. It's loud and doesn't strain your throat." In the silent and stagnant atmosphere, the village chief was not affected at all and handed the loudspeaker to Zheng Dandan with a smile.
"Thank you," Zheng Dandan accepted it and thanked the villagers. "Hello, folks. I understand your excitement, but I hope you can remain quiet during the upcoming assessment."
The villagers were very simple and honest. After hearing Zheng Dandan's words, they nodded in agreement. In order to practice keeping quiet, they kept their lips tightly closed from beginning to end, as if performing a pantomime.
Zheng Dandan couldn't help laughing when she saw this.
"I announce that the recruitment examination begins now." She suppressed her smile and said seriously.
As Zheng Dandan gave orders, Tan Xueming took out a stack of test papers from his briefcase.
"Now everyone form twenty rows, ten people in each row."
"How do we line up?" A villager wondered. As soon as he opened his mouth to ask, he remembered Zheng Dandan's words to be quiet, and immediately covered his mouth.
"There is no requirement for the arrangement. Twenty rows with ten people in each row will do," explained Tan Xueming.
There were still some villagers who did not understand the procession, but the smart ones among them understood the meaning of Tan Xueming and immediately demonstrated it.
The villagers who didn't understand followed suit, and the team quickly lined up according to Tan Xueming's requirements.
"Very good. Now everyone will receive a test paper, and the extra ones will be passed on to the back." Tan Xueming gave ten test papers to the people at the beginning of each column.
"Dandan, if you have any requirements for literacy, please tell me earlier. Many people here are illiterate." The village chief looked at the villagers worriedly.
If Zheng Dandan had literacy requirements from the beginning, those who did not meet the requirements could not come, thus saving time.
Moreover, giving people hope and then letting them down is a bigger blow.
The village chief may have his own selfish motives at ordinary times, but when things go smoothly, he still protects the villagers.
