Chapter 70

Job Postings

Qin Yunzhou thought for a moment and decided to give Xu Sui a heads-up first.

"The chances of finding a job for a junior staff member are very low. Sometimes you might not find one for several years, but you can always try to find out more."

"If one unit isn't enough, there are other units."

"I'll have someone ask around for you."

The clerical position is easier and more respectable than the factory worker position, but relatively speaking, the requirements for education and other aspects are also higher.

She has a high school diploma, which is considered a high level of education, so she usually doesn't have any problems in this regard.

Xu Sui looked at Qin Yunzhou and found that this man always managed to give her some surprises.

"I didn't expect you to know so many people, even in this remote place of ours."

"Were they all your comrades-in-arms who returned to your hometown after being demobilized?"

Qin Yunzhou shook his head. "It's not as much as you think. Currently, in Fengyang County, I only have one comrade-in-arms with whom I have a good relationship. He was demobilized last year and is now working at the grain station in Fengyang County."

He paused for a moment, as if thinking of something.

"You should have heard of him."

Xu Sui paused for a moment, and then a name popped into her head.

"You're not talking about... Hong Tao, are you?"

She probably didn't know many of Qin Yunzhou's comrades-in-arms, but in Fengyang County, if someone was Qin Yunzhou's comrade-in-arms, then they must have been Gu Shu's comrade-in-arms before.

So she must have heard of it at least a little.

Hong Tao and Gu Shu's relationship was so-so.

She had heard of this person, but had never met him.

Qin Yunzhou nodded, "Yes, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should come to visit me in the next couple of days. I'll ask the grain station if they have any job openings then."

The grain depot is a good place, and in this year of famine, it's even better. Even just being a regular temporary worker there would attract a lot of envy.

Xu Sui smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

Having a relationship is certainly better.

Who wouldn't want to take shortcuts with connections? Nowadays, if you don't have connections, you might not even know when they're hiring, let alone get in.

night.

The entire Qin family finally gathered and sat down for a hearty, oily meal.

The aroma of meat permeated almost all the neighboring houses, making many people feel envious and sigh repeatedly at their own meager meals.

These damned days, when will they ever end?

After the meal, Xiao Fen, who had just argued with Xu Sui twice, became more well-behaved and was no longer so confrontational when she saw her.

They even took the initiative to talk to him, greeting him with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

Living under the same roof, Xu Sui got to know what kind of person her sister-in-law Xiao Fen was. However, as long as the other party didn't provoke her, she was too lazy to provoke her and simply treated her like a stranger.

at the same time.

The Xu family next door also had a good meal, and the whole house smelled of meat.

We've eaten and drunk our fill.

Wang Yinhua turned and went next door, intending to tell her daughter the job information she had found out today.

You know what?

There was indeed a vacancy at the textile factory, but they hadn't announced the recruitment to the public. If she hadn't overheard the head of the personnel department letting it slip in the restroom today...

I guess they really don't know this news.

Wang Yinhua deliberately chose to go there right after the Qin family had finished eating.

After all, no one has it easy these days. If she went there at mealtime, given the relationship between the two families, the other party wouldn't feel comfortable not inviting her to dinner.

At that point, she wouldn't know whether to eat or not. Anyone with a modicum of sense would deliberately choose a time when people aren't eating to avoid this situation.

However, they arrived halfway there.

Wang Yinhua thought about it and then decided it wouldn't work.

These days, a job posting is practically a secret.

The Qin family has many members, and there are a few who don't get along with her daughter. What if those people overhear her and Sui Sui's conversation and cause trouble behind her back?

The more I thought about it, the less it seemed right.

Wang Yinhua turned around and went back into her own house. She pulled her youngest son, Xu Fei, who was doing his homework, over and said, "Xiao Fei, go next door and call your sister home. Tell her I need to talk to her."

Upon hearing that it was to see Xu Sui, Xu Fei instinctively wanted to refuse, "I won't..."

"A piece of meat," Wang Yinhua said slowly.

Xu Fei immediately changed his mind, "Okay, but I want to eat meat first."

Without saying a word, Wang Yinhua ran into her room, took out her key, opened the cabinet, and took out an oil can.

There was some lard in the jar, and a few pieces of cooked meat were soaking in the lard.

She carefully picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks, waited for a long time to shake off the oil and grease, and then put it into her son's mouth.

"Go quickly, and remember, you must bring your sister home."

Upon finally getting to eat the meat he had been craving, Xu Fei's eyes lit up. He ate with gusto, his mouth greasy, chewing the fragrant meat in big bites, nodding haphazardly as he ran over.

Not long after.

The man ran to the Qin family's house next door and knocked on their door.

The person who opened the door was Qin Hai, the third son of the Qin family, who was in the same class as Xu Fei and the two were about the same age.

Upon seeing him, they quickly pulled him aside and whispered.

"Why are you here? I haven't finished my homework yet, so I can't let you copy it."

Xu Fei quickly covered his mouth and warned him in a low voice.

"Who copied your homework? Don't talk nonsense. If others find out, I'll ruin my reputation."

The next second, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Xiaofei, Xiaohai, what are you two doing?"

"What do you mean by copying homework? Which of you copied whose homework?"

Xu Fei's body suddenly stiffened.

Oh no, she heard him! She's going to laugh at him to death.

He instinctively tried to run, but was caught.

When he looked up, he was met with a face that was incredibly beautiful, yet so frightening that he dared not look directly at it.

"...Sister, I...I was wrong." Faced with the choice between confronting him head-on and running away, Xu Fei covered his face and chose to cowardly bow his head and admit his mistake, his voice as weak as a mosquito's buzz.

Xu Sui glanced at her younger brother, who was clearly apologizing, and guessed why he had come. Considering their current relationship, she didn't say anything about what had just happened.

"Did Mom send you to call me back?"

"Okay, Mom's waiting for you at home. You should go quickly, or it won't be good if the lights go out any later." Xu Fei nodded hurriedly, showing no trace of the arrogance he had displayed when he threatened people earlier.

Qin Hai, standing to the side, was already used to it.

The two families were neighbors and grew up together.

Xu Fei fears nothing in the world, except for a single glance from his sister.

The news has already spread throughout their entire class.

However, if anyone dares to speak ill of his sister, he will not hesitate to fight that person.

Xu Sui patted Xu Fei's head and sighed, "Let's go. Don't always copy other people's homework in the future. You can ask if you don't understand something, but you can't copy."

Xu Fei kept his head down and didn't say anything, just followed behind her.

He didn't want to cheat, but he's just not cut out for studying.

They were born to the same father and mother.

Why is there such a big difference between the siblings?
