Zhao Ailing smiled and said, "You heard me right, my son-in-law found me a job."
The two of them stared at her with their mouths agape, unable to believe their eyes.
"How is that possible? We've lived here for so long and searched for jobs for so many years, and we still haven't found one. How could you find one as soon as you arrive?"
“We’re about the same age. You have neither skills nor qualifications. How could you possibly find a job so quickly?”
"Besides, I didn't see you go out. Did this job come to you on its own?"
Zhao Ailing knew that anyone who heard this would be greatly surprised.
She was just as surprised as they were.
After all, having a job at this age is an incredible blessing.
“My son-in-law helped me find it; I only just found out myself.”
"When do you go to work? Is it cleaning toilets or carrying heavy loads?"
"If you go to work, will you be unable to take care of the housework? Will you be unable to take care of your daughter during her postpartum period?"
"Since you're going to work, why don't you just let us help you take care of the kids?"
"Cleaning the outhouse is no easy job. Not only is it exhausting, but you also smell terrible, making it impossible to take care of the children."
"I heard that cleaning outhouses on the street only pays eight yuan a month. Although the Third Aunt's cardboard box factory is not doing well, at least it's not so tiring, and you don't have to smell bad. Plus, you can get ten yuan a month."
Zhao Ailing looked at them with a smile.
“You don’t need to worry about it. My son-in-law found me this job. All I have to do is cook one meal a day at noon. I can manage the housework.”
Cook?
So she went to help out in the cafeteria?
This is a fat one!
Not only can they eat their fill, but they also have the opportunity to smuggle things home.
Two members of the He family currently work in the cafeteria.
So that means they can take two lunchboxes home every day!
Their eyes were practically popping out of their sockets with envy.
"How many people are you cooking for? Are you a permanent employee or a temporary worker?"
"The meal for a dozen people was prepared by a temporary worker."
Hearing her say that, my tense heart finally relaxed.
If it only cooks for a dozen or so people, it must be a small factory.
It turns out he was just a temporary worker and probably wouldn't earn much money.
Moreover, they only get one meal at noon, and they might not even earn as much as someone cleaning the outhouse.
"How much can you earn in a month, five yuan or eight yuan?"
“Your daughter can earn more than 30 yuan. If she only earns five yuan a month, she might as well stay at home.”
“My son-in-law said that I can earn 20 yuan a month. Why should I stay at home when I am so young? It won’t interfere with my housework anyway.”
"I can manage both jobs well, and even if my daughter has a baby in the future, I can still take care of her!"
what?
Can you earn 20 yuan by just making one meal at noon?
He was just a temporary worker, yet he earned about the same as Jia Dongxu!
They simply didn't believe it.
I thought Zhao Ailing was just bragging.
How come she was able to find such a good job after only one day?
Why is it that after all these years, they still can't find any jobs?
"Who introduced this job to He Hongyang? Why can't we find it?"
"You're not from Beijing, and you don't have a local household registration, so why should such a good job fall into your lap?"
He recalled what He Hongyang had just told him about registering his household registration.
"My household registration should be transferred here soon."
“This is the son-in-law who found this for me. If you’re so capable, you should find a son-in-law like him too!”
"I can't talk to you anymore. My son-in-law must be hungry, and my daughter will be back soon. I need to hurry up and cook."
Then he went to the small kitchen.
Jia Zhangshi and an old woman were left standing there in a daze!
Judging from her expression, this matter is definitely true.
Judging from her expression, she couldn't be happier with her son-in-law!
He Hongyang is really amazing.
He found Wang Liying's job, he transferred Sha Zhu to the steel rolling mill, and now he's even found such a good job for his mother-in-law.
If they could have jobs like that, wouldn't they no longer have to worry about making ends meet?
Jia Zhangshi was extremely distressed.
Her son worked at the steel rolling mill for so many years and only earned a little over 20 yuan.
Seeing that a woman from out of town was earning more than her son.
Not only is their work easy, but they also provide meals.
This is outrageous!
Why is it that all the jobs the He family finds are both easy and lucrative?
They work themselves to the bone, but only earn a pittance each month.
The older woman was extremely envious.
She spent her whole life at home, listening to news from the outside world every day, and wishing she could find a job herself.
But those jobs either paid little or involved manual labor, which I simply couldn't do.
If there were a job like Zhao Ailing's, she would have taken it long ago!
"Do you really think He Hongyang found this job? How could he find such a good job after only being out for a short while?"
"It's because we don't have a son. The men in our family are useless. Unlike the He family, they can't just find jobs whenever they want."
The old woman was saying this to herself, and also to Jia Zhangshi.
She used to think that no one in the neighborhood could compare to her son.
Now it seems her son is a complete coward!
Not only does he earn so little money each month, but he also failed to help either his mother or his wife find jobs.
Both are the pillars of their families (aeec) and the heads of their households.
Why is the son of the He family so capable, while the Jia family is nothing?
The news that Zhao Ailing had found a job caused a huge uproar in the courtyard.
I watched as she finished her work at home before going to work every day, but left work early in the afternoon.
They only work half a day and they can earn this much money.
And he never comes back empty-handed.
Like Sha Zhu, he was holding a lunchbox in his hand.
It's definitely either vegetables or steamed buns inside.
Every time Yan Bugui saw it, he wished he could put both hands on her lunchbox and catch it for her.
Zhao Ailing has only been here a short time, but now she not only has a rosy complexion, but also speaks with poise and grace, which is incomparable to the other women in the courtyard.
She has her own job, and she's always happy.
Unlike the other old women in the courtyard, she never gossiped about other people's business.
Every day after get off work, I get home and am busy with housework and cooking.
I heard that she made the cotton-padded jacket she was wearing by hand!
This was the first time Yan Bugui had ever disliked the woman in his own family.
"Look at the mother-in-law of the He family. They are the same age, but why can she manage everything at home and outside, while you can't do anything?"
“If you could earn 20 yuan a month, I would have bought my radio long ago.”
“Every time she comes back, her lunchbox is heavy; it’s probably full of steamed buns.”
“If you could find a job like this, our family could not only save on lunch for one person, but also have enough lunchboxes for the whole family in the evening.”
"I never expected someone from out of town to be more capable than you, a local. We both have two hands and two legs, so why is he so capable while you do nothing at home?"
The three aunties were also extremely envious.
She would wait by her front door every day to see Zhao Ailing off to work.
I was so envious!
But what's the use of just being envious?
She didn't find this job herself; her son-in-law helped her find it!
Her daughter is still young, so she can't count on a son-in-law.
But the men in the family are even less reliable.
"You're all talk and no action. If you're so capable, go out and say a few words and you can find a job like He Hongyang."
"If you only rely on my salary to buy a radio, you could buy us a bicycle, let alone a radio."
“I raise four children every day, haven’t I done enough work? I consider myself no less capable than Zhao Ailing as a woman, but you are far less capable than He Hongyang as a man!”
The fight at Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard was even more chaotic.
Not only Auntie Er, but even Liu's three sons are causing trouble every day.
Every time I pass by He's house.
Watch Zhao Ailing humming a little tune as she does her housework.
She can manage household chores without missing a beat, and she can also earn money outside.
That's so enviable!
The Liu family's sons returned home and sighed every day.
"Dad, can't you talk to the leaders of the steel rolling mill and find me a job?"
"I don't ask for anything else, just the same job as my mother-in-law."
"We'd be perfectly content as long as we can earn a little over 20 yuan a month and have a meal provided every day at noon."
“If a 40-year-old woman can do this job, why can’t I? It’s been so long, and there’s been no progress in finding me a job.”
His second aunt also kept urging him on.
"If you're talking about cooking in the canteen, I can do it too. I don't need to cook in the steel mill canteen, but like Zhao Ailing, I can cook for the workers in the small factory run by the neighborhood committee. That would be no problem at all."
"You should think of a way to help us find work. You're the only one in our family who works, and there are so many idle people in the family. Helping one person is better than nothing."
"Didn't you say you're a level 5 forging worker in the factory with a lot of apprentices under you? Can't you use your connections to help our family get a job?"
Liu Haizhong also wanted to.
During this period, he racked his brains and tried everything to get things done, practically begging and pleading with everyone he could.
But he simply doesn't have that ability!
Those apprentices at the steel rolling mill weren't recruited by him.
He was only responsible for training apprentices, not for recruiting people.
