Chapter 175 But what does that have to do with you?
The female educated youth were staying in their houses during the winter, so they naturally heard the news that Shen Yongfu said on the loudspeaker. Those who could sew wanted to go, as they thought that if they could sew clothes, they could also fill their stomachs.
In order to save food, some female educated youth whose families were poor and could not provide them with financial support lay in bed in the house all day and did not dare to go out. The first reason was that they did not have cotton-padded clothes to keep warm, and the second was that if they moved around, they would consume energy and waste food, which would mean they would not have enough food to last until the next distribution.
If I can earn money, filling my stomach will at least not be a problem. The team leader just said that he would make clothes for a long time, so I don’t have to work in the fields. Making clothes in the house is definitely more comfortable than working.
Some people immediately noticed Jiang Yuqing reading a book on the table. Everyone knew that Jiang Yuqing's partner was Shen Zhenjiang, and Shen Zhensheng loved his younger brother Shen Zhenjiang the most.
If Jiang Yuqing uses the back door to get a spot, then my chances will be much smaller. But if Jiang Yuqing is willing to say a few good words for me, then the situation will be very different.
Zhang Hui and Hua Yuanyuan were among such people. Both of them came from poor families. After the food was distributed, they sent part of it back home. The remaining food was not enough to last until the next distribution, and they had no money to buy more.
The two of them looked at each other and understood each other's meaning. They stood up and walked to Jiang Yuqing, "Yuqing, did you hear the news the captain just said?"
Jiang Yuqing continued reading, and answered them out of politeness, "I heard it, Zhang Zhiqing, Hua Zhiqing, what's wrong?"
Zhang Hui asked Jiang Yuqing with a fake smile, "Yuqing, what do you think? Do you want to go?"
Jiang Yuqing shook her head and continued with a smile, "Everyone in our room knows that I can't sew clothes. Xiaoyu sewed them for me."
Those who want to go are secretly happy, and this increases the possibility that they will be able to go.
Zhang Hui continued, "Yuqing, you should have a good relationship with Comrade Shen Zhenjiang's third sister-in-law, right? Can you talk to her?"
Jiang Yuqing already knew the purpose of the two of them coming here with fake smiles on their faces, and she finally said it out loud, so Jiang Qingwu was not surprised at what they said at all and continued to maintain a polite smile.
"Sister Baoer is a nice person and easy to get along with. I can talk to her, but what does that have to do with you?"
Zhou Yu was afraid that Jiang Yuqing would suffer, so she had already gotten up from the kang, ready to help Jiang Yuqing deal with the two of them. However, she forgot that Jiang Yuqing was a rose carefully raised by her parents. How could a rose from a family of two cadres in a big city be without thorns?
When Zhou Yu heard Jiang Yuqing's deliberate question, he burst out laughing, "Yes, two educated youths, what does the relationship between Yuqing and Comrade Xiao have to do with you?"
The two pretended not to understand the sarcasm in Jiang Yuqing's words, and continued to smile and said, "Then can you say a few good words for us, so that Comrade Xiao can give us more opportunities, and the possibility of us being able to go will be greater."
Jiang Yuqing pretended to be innocent and said, "I'm so sorry. I can talk to Sister Baoer, but I never interfere with her life. They recruit workers to work and earn money. Didn't the team leader say that everyone has a chance? Come on, everyone."
Then Jiang Yuqing turned around and started reading seriously. The two of them realized that she would not speak for them, so they didn't want to make themselves bored and lay back on their beds.
When other female educated youth who had the same idea as them saw that they were frustrated, they didn't rush forward to ask for trouble, and could only find a solution on their own.
When Shen Zhenjiang came to give Jiang Yuqing some White Rabbit milk candy after get off work in the afternoon, Jiang Yuqing mentioned this matter.
"Yuqing, do you want to go? We have to go back to work after hibernating. It's too hard to go to work. It must be much better at Third Sister-in-law's place than at work."
Jiang Yuqing laughed, "Have you forgotten that I can't sew clothes? You sewed my socks for me before."
Shen Zhenjiang touched her hair and held her in his arms, saying distressedly, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way for you and I will definitely not let you go to work again."
At this time, Shen Zhenjiang certainly didn't expect that his third brother and his sister-in-law were always thinking about him. They could naturally guess what he was thinking. The thing that worried him so much could be solved with just one word from his sister-in-law.
When Shen Zhenjiang returned from Jiang Yuqing's place, he also went to Shen Zhensheng's house. In addition to bringing milk candy for Jiang Yuqing, he also brought candied haws for his third sister-in-law and the little one. He thought that his third sister-in-law's family would definitely not be short of milk candy, and now that she was pregnant and loved sour food, he bought candied haws and brought them back.
"Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, look what your uncle brought back for you?" Shen Zhenjiang started calling the three children as soon as he entered the house.
The three children ran out of the house, and when they saw the candied haws in their uncle's hand, they were extremely happy and said sweetly thank you to their uncle, saying that they loved him the most.
Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng also came out of the house. Shen Zhenjiang gave the remaining four strings of candied haws to Xiao Baoer, "Third sister-in-law, I bought them for you and the children. I thought you would like to eat something sweet and sour."
Shen Zhensheng happily took two skewers and left the other two untouched. "Your third sister-in-law was clamoring to eat candied haws today, and you bought them just in time. Xiuxiu is back today, so take these two skewers home for Xiuxiu and mother to eat. If your third sister-in-law wants to eat them, I'll let you bring them next time."
"Okay, Third Brother," Shen Zhenjiang took two strings of candied haws in his hand.
Seeing that he was different from usual, hesitating and wanting to say something but not saying it, Xiao Baoer simply asked, "What's wrong? Why are you hesitating and not saying anything today? Are you in trouble at work?"
"No, no, Third Sister-in-law, it's about Yuqing. I wanted to ask her to come to your place and try to sew clothes, but I forgot that she can't do needlework, and I couldn't bear to let her continue to work after the winter, it would be too hard."
Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng both laughed when they saw him like that. No one in the village dared to mess with this kid, and he would worry about a girl even if he didn't have any thoughts.
Shen Zhensheng patted his shoulder and said, "Your third sister-in-law has made up her mind this afternoon. Yuqing is literate and careful, so let her come to work at home. She will be mainly responsible for counting the number of clothes made by the workers, and then check and pay the workers' wages every time a batch of goods is delivered. The rest of the time, she will follow Aunt Song Yun to manage the workers and check the quality of the workers' clothes. Give her 15 yuan a month, okay, little brat."
Shen Zhenjiang was ecstatic. "Okay, okay, that's great. It's okay if I don't get paid. Thank you, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law. Third Brother, go and send the candied haws home to Xiuxiu and mother. I'll go talk to Yuqing about this."
Before Shen Zhensheng could take the candied haws, he had already rushed out the door and ran towards the educated youth point, running like a dog.
"This kid still can't learn to be steady. Wife, let's send the candied haws over."
Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer took the children to the old house. They had just finished cooking and were waiting for Shen Zhenjiang to come home from get off work to eat.
"Mom, Xiuxiu, these are the candied haws that Laowu brought back. He asked me to bring them back to you," Shen Zhensheng handed the candied haws to Shen's mother.
"Where is that kid? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Shen Zhensheng told Shen's mother, Shen's father, and Shen Xiuxiu what had just happened, and the whole family laughed at him.
Shen's mother looked at Xiao Baoer and said, "Old Third, you have already thought of a partner for Old Fifth. I will ask Old Fifth to remember this and ask him to repay you."
Shin Soo-soo smiled and said, "We have to thank Third Sister-in-law. Without her, Fifth Brother wouldn't even have a girlfriend. It was Third Sister-in-law who introduced Fifth Brother to a girlfriend by using her own fruits and her own son."
Shen Zhensheng had never heard them talk about what happened, so Shen Xiuxiu told him everything as a joke, including the story of Dabao and Erbao acting as matchmakers, which made the whole family laugh.
