Chapter 8

"Well, let's make do with it for now. From now on, our family will only eat white flour.

I will give you another thirty yuan, and to the outside world, you can tell me that I will give you three yuan a month for household expenses. People in the courtyard will know that you have no money, so they will not plot against you."

As soon as Zhang Qian stood up with her hands on her hands, Zhou Jianguo came over to help her get dressed, and even squatted down to help her put on her socks and shoes. She really found the right man.

Then he brought hot water for her to wash her face and rinse her mouth. By the time it was served to her, the food was ready.

"No, why did you just steam three steamed buns?"

Zhang Qian can eat two at a meal, but these two people are not enough.

"I have a small appetite, so I feel full after eating just one."

"I'll go. Our family is not short of money. We can pretend to be poor to the outside world, but behind closed doors we have to eat well and eat well."

"One and a half for each person. You can steam more for lunch. I will bring food and vegetables back in the evening."

She couldn't help but share the breakfast. Forget it, let's just have a simple breakfast. Anyway, we can eat in the cafeteria at noon.

After eating, Zhang Qian rode her bicycle to work. She worked six days a week, and even during the Spring Festival, she only had three days off. She really couldn't take this kind of work anymore.

But she cannot resign. For a good young person like her, it is a crime to not go to work when she has a job.

So she didn't want to go to work, so she had to let Zhou Jianguo take up the job. There was no other way.

Zhang Qian hummed a little tune all the way to the factory. After parking the car, she realized that it was early today. Having a car was different.

Simply going to the hospital again and pretending to have a stomach problem is a waste of time. Let everyone know about it first before they can accept her discharge and return to work at such a young age.

"Doctor, my stomach hasn't healed. I can't even eat breakfast today."

Zhang Qian thought to herself, I really didn’t eat much, missing half a steamed bun.

"Master Zhang, in your case, you can only treat it slowly. Stomach trouble won't be cured in a day or two."

There was nothing the doctor could do. If she had already been admitted to a big hospital if she had such superb medical skills, why would she be assigned to the infirmary in the factory?

"Okay, I'll have to trouble you more in the future. I'll take a rest here first."

Zhang Qian took advantage of the situation and stayed in the infirmary, where she could be lazy for a while.

It's a big collective now, and it's not like the more work you do, the more you get. The factory is so big, and her workload is not lacking.

Besides, when she stepped back and let her lover take over the job, she had to start from an apprenticeship. This saved wages for the factory and also made a contribution.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that the doctor couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Master Zhang, your stomach pain is getting better."

"Hey, I'm feeling better. I'll go back to the workshop right away."

Zhang Qian had no choice but to get up, but instead of rushing to the workshop, she diverted to the office building and consulted the factory manager.

"Director Wang, I have a serious stomach problem. I'm afraid it will affect my work."

She came here to test it out first, and once she got familiar with the situation, she would be able to find the door and give some gifts, even if she didn't give them.

But although she doesn't plan to go to work, she will still come to the factory, so it is necessary to build a good relationship in the factory.

"Master Zhang, you have to relax, no one will be left behind in the factory. Besides, medical treatment is free."

What can Director Wang do? If he dares to say that someone else's illness affects his work, if word spreads, he will become an exploitative worker. Does he still want to make progress?

"Okay! Then I'll stick to it."

Zhang Qian left after not staying for a while. Now this worker has a really good status, and the harvest is guaranteed despite droughts and floods.

Unless she steals machinery from the factory, even if she gets some scraps and is caught, she won't be fired.

Basically, this position is an iron rice bowl and can be passed on to the next generation. Of course, the premise is that the factory is profitable and does not close down.

As soon as she entered the workshop, she heard the discussions among her co-workers.

"Hey, I really didn't expect that Zhang Qian, who looked at people and animals as harmless, turned out to be a ruthless person and pried away Xue Ling's blind date."

"This is an open robbery, it's so bullying."

"To be honest, what Zhang Qian did was not honest."

"Who says it's not the case...Hey, Master Zhang, you're here."

Although this person was not afraid when he saw Zhang Qian coming, it was hard for him to gossip in front of her.

"Well, I had a stomachache, so I went to the infirmary."

Zhang Qian pretended to be sick again. I believe that soon everyone in the factory would know that she had a bad stomach.

At this moment, she came to the work station, picked up the tools and was able to work, but it was too boring.

Suddenly, she faintly noticed a malicious gaze. When she raised her eyes, good guy, Xue Ling was staring at her viciously from a few machines away.

Zhang Qian smiled and was too lazy to care.



After Zhang Qian went to work, Zhou Jianguo did not rest. He tidied up the house inside and outside again. Although it was not as good as the compound left by his grandfather, it was still his home and the house of the old Zhang family. Of course, he had to take good care of it.

Take care of.

"What a sin!"

"This isn't a marriage, it's just finding a servant."

The aunt in the hospital who is not at work is the man who has been paying attention to Zhang Qian.

I found that people are really hard-working. They started working in the yard yesterday and have been working this morning.

When it was time to eat at noon, Aunt Jiang couldn't sit still and pretended to visit Zhang's house, which was actually next door.

It turned out that there was only a steamed bun on the table, with some leftover cabbage, and boiling water was being poured.

"You're going to have this for lunch?"

Aunt Jiang was shocked, she couldn't treat people so badly.

"Hello, Aunt Jiang, I have a small appetite, these are enough."

Zhou Jianguo wiped the sweat on his forehead and picked up a steamed bun with a smile on his face.

"Oh, this Qian doesn't treat you as a human being. How much does she pay you for your household expenses every month?"

"It's three dollars."

"What a sin!"

Aunt Jiang couldn't help but shake her head. Looking at the room, even if there was no wine for the wedding, Zhang Qian indeed had no elders, and she had no relatives to invite anyway.

But you can't just prepare everything. Among other things, you have to buy a red washbasin, a new spittoon, new sheets and so on.

As a result, I didn’t see anything new in this house, and I only gave my man a steamed bun. Although he was a bride-in-law and had a low status, I couldn’t waste my man like this!

Aunt Jiang couldn't stand it and said, "In this case, you can go to the yard in the afternoon and talk more with the aunts."

This child was indeed from a poor background, with good character, and worked hard without complaining when he got to the city. It seemed that his brain was not working well, and Zhang Qian took advantage of it.

"Yeah! I'll take down the curtains and wash them this afternoon, so I'll be free."

Zhou Jianguo is very satisfied with his current life. He has money in his pocket, he is in his early thirties, there are two noodles in the kitchen, and his wife is working to earn money.

There is also the huge wealth left by grandpa, and everyone in the village is envious of his life, so what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

"well!"

Aunt Jiang let out a long sigh and gossiped about the situation as soon as she went out.

Several other aunts in the courtyard took a breath of cold air when they heard this, and they all wondered if this was a new society.

"It's a sin, but I have to say that Zhang Qian's little girl has a vicious eye. At first, I thought this man was so handsome that he couldn't do the job."

"Isn't that right? I really didn't expect that I could be so hardworking and uncomplaining. I only had some cabbage steamed buns for lunch. Zhang Qian wasn't around, so she didn't dare to be lazy and find work by herself."
