Chapter 107: Got a job

Chapter 107 Got a job

Chen Jun glanced at a few people and entered the room with his head lowered.

Tian Xiaohui originally thought that the militiamen were here to arrest her. Seeing Chen Jun go in, the militiamen stood still in the yard with their guns on their backs. They became bolder. She walked over and asked curiously: "Brother, don't you mean that Chen Jun is going to arrest her?"

Reeducation through labor? Why did you come back?"

The militiaman chuckled, "Of course we must reform. He is coming back to get his own rations."

It turns out that the labor reformers did not care about food, they had to take rations and make their own food.

After a while, Chen Jun came out.

Tian Xiaohui made a face when she saw that Chen Jun was carrying grain on his shoulders and carrying bags in his hands, looking like he was struggling, "Chen Jun, you should deeply reflect on your own problems and reform yourself."

Chen Jun was almost furious. He glared at Tian Xiaohui and followed the militiamen out.

Yuan Gang stood at the door of the house and touched Qiao Mu with his elbow, laughing.

······

I spent several days cutting fish grass.

Except for a few female educated youths, those who cut fish and grass were the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village.

That morning, not long after I had been working, a strange-looking man came over to Xu Zhiqiang and said, "The county called the commune and asked you to go to the county labor bureau."

Xu Zhiqiang looked confused, "Labor Bureau? Why should I go to the Labor Bureau?"

The man said: "I don't know. Anyway, the phone call just told you to go to the Labor Bureau as soon as possible."

Xu Zhiqiang was a little panicked, feeling that something big had happened.

He stretched his neck and shouted, "Susie, Susie, come here."

Susie carried the sickle over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhiqiang said hurriedly: "I have to go to the county. I don't know when I can come back. When I finish work in the afternoon, you can help me weigh the fish grass that everyone has cut and count the numbers."

Su Qian wanted to say that she didn't recognize the scale, so Xu Zhiqiang handed her a key, "This is the key to the warehouse. Remember to put the tools in at night."

He raised his feet to leave, then added, "By the way, tell Xiaoxue when you go back, I may not come back today."

Xu Zhiqiang left in a hurry.

Su Qian thought for a while, it didn't matter if she didn't recognize the scale, Zhao Tingting did, just ask her to help her look at it when she finished work in the evening.

After returning from work at noon, Su Qian walked to the door of Yu Snow House next door and said, "Xu Zhiqiang has gone to the county. He may not be able to come back today. He asked me to let you know."

Yu Xue walked to the door and asked, "What did he do in the county?"

Susie shook her head, "I don't know. You can ask him when he comes back."

Yu Xue stamped her feet, "I'm so annoyed, I still have to cook!"

Now Xu Zhiqiang is the one doing the cooking, and Yu Xue has become the hands-off shopkeeper.

Susie rolled her eyes and left.

In the afternoon, Su Qian saw that the sun was about to set, so she and Zhao Tingting went to the warehouse to weigh fish and grass for everyone.

Zhao Tingting said that Su Qian counted, and after counting, she asked the members to put their thumbprints next to them.

After weighing a few, Huang Chunzhen dragged a basket over. Susie went up to help her, weighed the quantity, and Huang Chunzhen took the empty basket and left.

After a while, Huang Zhaodi also came over carrying a backpack.

Boss Yang broke his leg and found a barefoot doctor in the team to patch it up. Huang Zhaodi was reluctant to give up the money and didn't use any medicine. She still can't get out of bed.

Without Mr. Yang as the main labor force, Huang Zhaodi, who had not worked for a long time, could only work out to earn some work points.

Zhao Tingting quickly used the scale beam to lift the basket, and after weighing it, she reported the number. Just as Su Qian was about to write on it, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Huang Zhaodi's basket is about the same size as everyone else's, but her basket of fish grass is several kilograms heavier than others'.

Although some of it was because the binding was very tight and weighed down a bit, Susie felt it was weird.

Huang Zhaodi's fingers were stained with ink pad, and she urged Su Qian impatiently, "Hurry up and write, I'm in a hurry to go back and cook!"

Susie put down her pen and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take a look at your grass."

Huang Zhaodi looked obviously panicked, "What do you mean, you don't look at other people's things, but you just look at mine?"

Susie ignored her and poured out all the grass in the basket.

She picked up the bundles one by one and weighed them in her hands, and soon realized something was wrong.

Two bales of grass felt particularly heavy.

Susie knelt down and untied the rope, and a stone rolled out of the grass.

Susie sneered and untied another bundle, which also contained a stone.

Before she said anything, several aunts nearby began to accuse Huang Zhaodi, "You are the most shameless in the entire production team!"

"You will die if you take advantage of the public!"

"Huang Zhaodi, you are shameless!"

"What kind of food is delicious, lazy to make, and yet you like to take advantage of it!"

Huang Zhaodi couldn't scold everyone by herself. She had a few quarrels with the aunts and shut up angrily.

Su Qian pursed her lips and smiled, then bundled the straw again and asked Zhao Tingting to weigh it again.

After weighing the weight, Su Qian wrote the number on Huang Zhaodi's work score book and shouted: "Huang Zhaodi, come here and put your fingerprints on it."

Huang Zhaodi was now scared to death of Su Qian, so she didn't dare to say anything. She pressed her fingerprints and hurried away with her backpack amidst everyone's scolding.

Su Qian and Zhao Tingting finished their work, locked the warehouse door and went back to cook.

That night, Xu Zhiqiang did not come back.

At noon the next day, Su Qian had just finished work and was washing her hands outside the stove when she saw Xu Zhiqiang riding a bicycle into the yard. He had a very strange look on his face, he seemed a little happy but also very troubled.

He got out of the car, parked it, and hurriedly walked towards the igloo.

Su Qian shouted to him, "Uncle, Yu Xue is in the kitchen room!"

Xu Zhiqiang turned around and came towards the kitchen house.

Susie stood up and shook off the water drops on her hands, "Uncle, wait a minute, I'll give you the key to the warehouse."

Xu Zhiqiang took the key and suddenly sighed: "You gave me the key, but I still have to hand it over."

Susie asked curiously: "Why?"

Xu Zhiqiang seemed a little troubled and said: "I have a job."

Su Qian raised her eyebrows, and before she could say anything, Yu Xue rushed out of the kitchen room, "What did you say? You have a job?"

Xu Zhiqiang held Yu Xue's hand with some guilt, "Xiaoxue, I have a job, and I will go to the city to report in two days."

Once he goes to work, it means that he will be separated from Yu Xue. Along the way, he is both happy and sad.

He and Xiaoxue were newly married, and he left his newlywed wife to work in the city. From now on, he didn't know if he would be able to see her once a month.

He is a little hesitant now and doesn't know whether he should go.

"What!" Yu Xue's voice was so sharp that it was a bit harsh, "How come you have a job? Did your elder brother arrange it for you?"

Xu Zhiqiang scratched his head: "I don't know. My eldest brother hasn't written a letter recently, and no one from the county labor bureau has told me. I don't know how the job came about."

Yu Xue said sharply: "It must be your eldest brother! Otherwise, why would you have a job for no reason?"

"Xu Zhiqiang, you are not a human being. You clearly promised me that your elder brother would arrange work for me, but in the end you still arranged it for yourself!"
