Chapter 6: The Abandoned Capitalist Lady in the 1950s
A few more years passed, and Ning Ning's life was going smoothly during these years.
During the census, I successfully obtained my household registration, got my primary and junior high school diplomas, and successfully entered high school.
The age registered in the household registration book was deliberately two years younger than before, and the name was changed back to Ning Ning.
I'm afraid that the surnames Xu and Qi will cause trouble in the future, so I might as well change them all and put an end to it!
After the transformation by the strengthening pill and the beauty pill, she is now a little beauty who is strong inside and soft and sweet outside.
The skin is so white and translucent that it can reflect light!
But he is only 162cm tall, and I don’t know why.
It grew this tall only after taking the space elixir. If it hadn't taken the elixir, it would probably have only grown about 1.5 meters.
With this appearance and height, he looks like someone who is easy to bully.
But if anyone dares to do it, it will be a disaster! Looking at this soft little girl can make your teeth break.
Three or two grown men couldn't get close to her, mainly because she took the strengthening pill early and kept her body in good shape!
In addition, she knew that the world was not peaceful now, so she intensified her training and practiced regularly, which is why she has her current skills.
Ning Ning has been living alone in that small courtyard in the past few years.
But to outsiders, it seemed that Ning Ning and her grandson were the ones living in this courtyard. If there were no adults at home, it would be difficult for Ning Ning, at her age, to live here alone without being bothered by others.
But as she grew older, Ning Ning grew taller and taller. Three years ago, she dressed up as an old lady when she went out, and then changed back into her own clothes when she returned to the courtyard.
At night, Ning Ning went to the police station seriously to report that her grandmother was missing. In the end, she was never found, and the identity of Ning Ning's grandmother disappeared smoothly!
The main reason was that Ning Ning had started to grow taller at that time, and the old lady couldn't let her height continue to change.
Although it had grown a little before, it was not obvious as long as I bent over and I didn't see people often.
At that time, Ning Ning suddenly began to grow rapidly, so the old lady had to disappear in time.
She planted all sorts of vegetables in the yard and even raised a few chickens in the corner. Her goal was to not waste an inch of land.
It is already 1956. We should plant more and save more now. After all, the great famine will come in two years, so we should make some preparations in advance.
Ning Ning graduated from high school this year and was assigned to work as an accountant in a department store. She reported for work yesterday and today was her first day at work.
She happily pushed her bicycle out and happened to meet Grandma Liu from next door who was out for a walk.
"Grandma Liu, take a walk."
Ning Ning's voice was as sweet as honey, and the smile on her face was brighter than the spring sunshine.
"Hey, Ning Ning, are you going to work?"
Ning Ning nodded quickly, "Yes, Grandma Liu, today is the first day, I was thinking of going early."
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she clapped her hands. "That's right, child. Don't think I'm nagging you. You've just started working, so there's no harm in doing more. You need to leave a good impression on your boss and gain a firm foothold in the company first!"
Old Lady Liu waved her hand and said, "Go quickly, go quickly. I can't delay you from going to work. Don't get up so early and end up being late."
Ning Ning giggled, "Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing. Goodbye, Grandma Liu." As soon as she finished speaking, she pedaled hard on the bicycle and walked out of the alley.
This old lady is really kind-hearted!
She has only one son and one daughter. Her son is serving in the army in the south, and her daughter-in-law, whom she married in the army, is a military doctor. Her grandson is also with the army.
The eldest daughter married a local in Beijing. Both husband and wife are workers and they live a relatively stable life.
The old couple has nothing important to do every day, so they like to stroll in the alleys.
Since the establishment of the neighborhood committee, both of them have actively joined. It can be said that they have something serious to do, and they will no longer be idle and bored all day long, thinking about things!
When I arrived at the office, there was no one inside.
Ning Ning first boiled two pots of water, and then cleaned the entire office. When she was wiping the table, an older woman came in.
"Xiao Ning came so early."
Ning Ning looked up and smiled sweetly, "It's Sister Huang. This is my first day at work, so I'm a little nervous. I thought I'd come over early to see what I can do."
We all knew each other when we reported in yesterday, so we don’t feel unfamiliar when we meet again.
Sister Huang laughed heartily. "Don't be nervous. There are only a few people in our office and we're all easy to get along with. If you don't understand something, just ask. Everyone can answer you."
When I walked to my seat, I saw that the little girl had also wiped her table clean, which made me feel even more satisfied. Although this little girl is young, she is very perceptive and can help me in the future!
This is how the times are. Young people who like to work hard and be down-to-earth should not be too detached from the masses since they have come to this world. They can only live a good life by following the crowd.
Their finance department is indeed small in number, and the section chief is a calm and capable man in his forties.
Sister Huang is estimated to be around 40 years old this year. She is married to a bright and beautiful woman named Yu Li who is in her early twenties. The girl has just entered the marriage hall and is brimming with happiness.
Finally, there is Chen Jianguo, who is 27 or 28 years old and mature and steady.
Including Ning Ning who had just arrived, the Finance Department had only one section chief who was in charge of the four of them.
There are naturally fewer disputes when there are fewer people. Moreover, there is a clear age gap between everyone. Unless there is a real conflict of interest, it is unlikely that intrigue will occur.
As they were talking, Chen Jianguo and Yu Li walked in one after another. Ning Ning was the first to greet them, "Sister Yu Li, Brother Chen."
Yu Li has a bright appearance and a cheerful personality. "Xiao Ning is here. Oh, she even wiped the table for us. I feel so embarrassed. I have some chocolates here. You can try them." As she said that, she opened the drawer, took out two chocolates and handed them to Ning Ning.
Ning Ning didn't hesitate and took it, "Thank you, Sister Yu Li."
We all work in the same office. If she is too polite, it will make them feel alienated and uncomfortable when getting along with each other in the future.
It would be better to accept it cheerfully, and then treat the other party in return when you bring food in the future. This is the way of social etiquette.
Chen Jianguo also saw the cleaned table and said, "Thank you, Xiaoning. If I come early tomorrow, I will help everyone clean the table."
Sister Huang took over the conversation: "Haha, that's great."
The Finance Department doesn't usually have much to do, except for the few days at the end of the month when it comes to reconciling accounts and paying employees' salaries. The rest of the time is quite leisurely and comfortable.
The section chief brought Ning Ning some past financial statements and said like a concerned parent, "Ning Ning, take a look at these and see if you can understand them. If you don't understand, just ask." After that, he turned around and went back to his small office.
Sister Huang and Yu Li both took out their wool and started knitting sweaters. It was obvious from their skilled posture that they had done this many times before.
The two chatted while knitting.
Chen Jianguo was lying on the table, writing something carefully, stroke by stroke.
Everyone is busy with their own things, and this kind of office life is really worry-free.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Yu Li, who was impatient, was the first to shout: "It's almost time, let's go, let's go have lunch, I heard that the cafeteria has braised pork today!"
When Sister Huang heard this, her eyes lit up, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Several people hurriedly packed up their things and rushed to the cafeteria.
As Sister Huang hurried along, she turned her head and enthusiastically called out to Ning Ning, "Xiao Ning, you must try the braised pork today! It's our chef's specialty!"
Yu Li followed suit, her steps still pacing. "That's right, Xiao Ning, this braised pork is just as good as the ones in state-owned restaurants! It's just that the chef makes too little each time. If you go too late, you'll just be staring at the empty plate. I'm afraid you won't even get to see any meat scraps!"
Ning Ning also quickened her pace. "Then I have to order one. You all praise it so much, so it must be good! My mouth is watering!"
In the Finance Department, we have more freedom when it's not busy, so it doesn't matter if we come to work a little earlier or later.
They were the first ones to rush to the cafeteria.
Ning Ning ordered two taels of rice, a plate of fragrant braised pork and a vegetarian dish, and then sat down with her colleagues from the Finance Department.
You know what, the food in this cafeteria is really good, especially the braised pork, which is cooked to perfection, with great color, aroma and taste, it is simply at the master level!
After dinner, they returned to the office. Sister Huang and Yu Li continued knitting sweaters, while Chen Jianguo leisurely read the newspaper.
Ning Ning didn't have anything specific to do. She just sat there, listening to the two ladies knitting sweaters chattering about gossip.
This was Ning Ning’s experience on her first day at work. This is really a great job for retirement.
Who would have thought that at such a young age, he would be living a godly life of drinking tea, reading newspapers and getting paid!
