Chapter 456 Looking for a Summer Job
Jiang Yanqiu returned to the dormitory to pack her things, and Fang Jing walked up to Jiang Yanqiu with confidence.
After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Jiang Yanqiu, can you help me find a temporary job?"
Her tone was very sincere, and she didn't know why, but she just felt that Jiang Yanqiu could help.
Jiang Yanqiu looked at Fang Jing in front of her and did not refuse immediately.
Instead, he asked curiously, "What do you know? What kind of summer job are you looking for? If you find one, will you be able to do it?"
Jiang Yanqiu's first impression of Fang Jing was that her personality was a bit similar to Lin Xiaomei's, and Jiang Yanqiu didn't like people like that.
But after spending some time together, I discovered that there are still some differences in their personalities.
At least until now, Fang Jing's family conditions are not very good, but she has a strong self-esteem.
I've never seen her take advantage of others. Even if she used someone else's hot water, she would always return it to them.
Moreover, Fang Jing never suffers any loss and never flatters anyone. He always studies honestly and conscientiously.
Jiang Yanqiu didn't like her at first because she spoke up for Zhou Yue first and then criticized Zhou Yue.
But think about it, maybe she was not speaking for Zhou Yue at the time, but she really felt that Jiang Yanqiu's quilt did not need to be washed, so she said those words.
It happened that Jiang Yanqiu and her classmates were going to build a house during the summer vacation, so Chu Tingnan suggested that some of their classmates majoring in architecture come to help.
The cafeteria is closed during winter and summer vacations. Since we have asked students to help, we must be responsible for their food and accommodation.
We need someone to help with cooking right now. If Fang Jing is willing to work hard, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let her cook with us.
I'm afraid that she is too ambitious and too picky, and it will be troublesome if I ask her ancestors to come back.
Hearing Jiang Yanqiu's question, Fang Jing answered without a second thought: "My requirements are not high. I just want three meals a day to fill my stomach! Whether it's physical work or housework like cooking and washing clothes, I have no problem. I can do any work. Even carrying manure is fine!"
His words were full of confidence, without a trace of disgust.
Jiang Yanqiu looked at Fang Jing and felt a little uncomfortable. She guessed that if Fang Jing didn't go home, she might not even have the money for the bus fare.
So I joked, "You're so amazing! You're both talented in literature and martial arts. You really hold up half the sky!"
After being praised by Jiang Yanqiu, Fang Jing felt a little shy. She blushed and said, "Don't say that. These jobs are nothing to us country people. Everyone can do them!"
"I'm not as good at studying as you!"
Jiang Yanqiu actually had no idea how Fang Jing was doing academically. They were not in the same major and she didn't know the specific situation.
However, she truly admired Fang Jing's serious and hardworking attitude towards study, and she was also one of those who went out early and came back late.
And to be honest, in rural areas, not many girls can go to school.
Not to mention someone like Fang Jing, who is already 23 years old and still has the opportunity to go to college regardless of whether she is married or not.
This shows that her family is at least quite good to her, but no matter how good the countryside is, one still has to work.
She is Jiang Yanqiu from the previous life, a girl born in the 1990s.
No matter how much a family dotes on their children, girls have to cut grass for pigs and do housework. There is nothing they are not allowed to do.
What’s more, these are rural girls born in the 1950s and 1960s.
Lin Shuhua hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yanqiu, if there's a job that provides meals, please keep an eye out for it for me. I'm not picky and can do any kind of work."
After hearing this, Jiang Yanqiu did not refuse this time. Lin Shuhua was still relatively steady.
I responded readily, "Okay, but I can't guarantee it. I'll ask around for you and let you know the results when I see the transcript."
The school will release the results in a few days, and everyone will wait until the results are released before leaving school.
Lin Shuhua hurriedly thanked Jiang Yanqiu sincerely: "Thank you so much!"
Lu Haiyan, who was standing by, came over curiously and asked, "Jiang Yanqiu, what are you planning to do this summer? Are you going to take a class too?"
Jiang Yanqiu answered her cheerfully, "I don't need to look for a class. I'm studying on a paid basis, so I have to go back to my old workplace to help out during the summer vacation."
Lu Haiyan was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She exclaimed: "You are actually studying with pay. We didn't know this before. We thought you had quit a long time ago."
Jiang Yanqiu explained, "I used to work at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic and was part of the health center system. We'll all be in this business in the future, so it doesn't matter where we work. There's no need to quit!"
Lu Haiyan was about to say something, but suddenly swallowed her words back.
She thought that Jiang Yanqiu was a local and would definitely be assigned a job in the capital in the future, so there was really no need for her to resign.
Unlike them, I was worried about being assigned back to my hometown, so I quit my job in order to be assigned to a better place.
As soon as Jiang Yanqiu returned home, she told Chu Tingnan about Fang Jing and the others' job search.
Chu Tingnan didn't say anything after hearing this, and said slowly: "As for the cooking matter, we can ask them to go to the street office to register and ask the street to help recruit people in their name;
For those who helped build the house, I also asked them to go to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau to find the relevant person in charge to help find people on their behalf, so that we won’t become capitalists by then.
Most of my male classmates who are looking for jobs here are from rural areas. They stay here mainly to save money on the trip home."
Jiang Yanqiu listened quietly to Chu Tingnan's words without saying a word.
These days, there are not many people who are not in difficult situations, especially in rural areas. I can’t sympathize with them all.
After a while, she slowly spoke, "There's one more important thing. You have to make it clear to Deng Xingrong and Director Chu. Don't let anyone know that the house is ours, or else if something goes wrong, it'll be hard for the school to handle."
Chu Tingnan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said: "Okay, I have an idea. But now I have to prepare the relevant materials first.
Anyway, the Gaokao is only a few days away, so we should wait until it’s over before starting construction. Many people there are taking the Gaokao and are sprinting hard during this period, so we should not affect their review.”
Jiang Yanqiu nodded gently in agreement: "There's no rush for this matter in the next few days, just take care of it. There's another important point, after the construction begins, you must remind everyone to pay attention to safety."
This summer vacation, Jiang Yanqiu and Chu Tingnan are going to move to her old place.
Why this arrangement? Because Chu Tingnan's sister-in-law Zang Jinghan is about to give birth to her second child.
There has been no news of Chu Munan and his father since they left on the day of Jiang Yanqiu and her husband's wedding.
Later he called and said he was going to the base, and then he seemed to have disappeared.
Now Zang Jinghan is about to give birth, and I am worried about her living alone in the base. It is safer to bring the child back. After the birth, Nan Wanwu can also help.
