Chapter 80: 80 Comrcial Mutual Praise
Li Xiuli was stunned for a mont, “Who doesn’t like the city?”
Everyone in the city likes it.
The countryside is too bitter.
Working the fields for a year, earning a year’s work points, but still not having enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear…
Who doesn’t want to have a secure job and beco a city dweller?
Just like Liu Guohui, didn’t he also make a fuss about calling off his engagent just because he got a temporary job?
In these tis, you have to admit, city folks are considered a cut above.
Li Xiuli lowered her voice and said, “In the city, you don’t have to toil in the fields. You can live respectably and earn a salary of several dozen yuan every month. Who wouldn’t envy that?
If you can beco a worker, mother would be especially happy…”
Lin Tang’s eyes curved, brimming with starlight.
“As long as mother is happy! If you like the city, I will bring father and mother to the city in the future.”
Confidence filled her words.
Li Xiuli had great confidence in Lin Tang and laughed readily.
“Alright, then mother will wait to enjoy the good fortune my daughter brings.”
While talking, the mother and daughter arrived at the ng Family’s ho.
Inside.
The Zheng matriarch, ng Shichang, Lin Anan, and her two brothers, ng Louming and ng Louhui, were all at ho.
Upon hearing the knock, the ng Family was sowhat surprised.
“Who could it be this early in the morning?” mumbled the Zheng matriarch as she went to open the door.
Upon opening the door,
Seeing Li Xiuli clad in patch-covered clothes, her heart instantly skipped a beat.
It was an ominous sense of poor relatives coming over to mooch.
“It’s Anan’s sister-in-law,” the Zheng matriarch forced a smile, stepped aside, and said, “Co in first.”
The daughter-in-law had given the old ng Family two precious grandsons, so of course she had to be sowhat polite to her daughter’s family.
There was no need to upset her daughter-in-law over such a trivial matter.
Seeing the Zheng matriarch’s alright attitude, Li Xiuli heaved a sigh of relief and handed over the eggs she had brought.
“Sorry to bother you, auntie. My daughter and I ca to visit my younger sister,” she said with a smile.
The Zheng matriarch took the basket.
Upon opening it, she found it contained about a dozen round eggs.
The smile on her old face beca a lot more genuine in an instant.
“You’re here already, why bring sothing with you? Co on in,” she said politely as she ushered Li Xiuli and Lin Tang through the door.
“Anan, your sister-in-law and your niece are here.”
Lin Anan quickly ca out of the house upon hearing this.
“Sister-in-law, why have you co? Is sothing wrong with dad and mom?” she asked anxiously.
Fearing to embarrass her, her family had never visited although they knew where she lived.
Lin Anan started to worry with their sudden visit.
ng Shichang followed behind Lin Anan, also asking, “Sister-in-law, dad and mom are alright, aren’t they?”
He still cared a lot about his in-laws.
Li Xiuli shook her head, “No, no, dad and mom are just fine.”
Hearing this, the couple’s hearts, which had been suspended in anxiety, finally settled back down.
Seeing the graceful Lin Tang, a smile spread across Lin Anan’s face.
“Tangtang is getting prettier by the day.”
Upon hearing these words, a motherly smile that Li Xiuli couldn’t suppress sparkled in her eyes.
“Her little aunt sure knows how to talk.”
Lin Tang, listening to her mom and her aunt exchange pleasantries, maintained a polite, shallow smile on her face.
She felt utterly helpless inside.
Fortunately, their small talk ended after a couple of sentences.
That’s when the Zheng matriarch brought over so water for them.
“You must be thirsty after the long journey, have so water first.”
Li Xiuli took it with a smile, “Thank you for the trouble, auntie.”
Lin Tang followed with thanks as well.
Lin Anan was pleased to see her mother-in-law giving face to her family and looked at the Zheng matriarch with the fondness one has for their own mother.
“Thank you for your trouble, mom!”
The Zheng matriarch was easy to please and imdiately grinned, showing her back teeth.
“What’s so hard about that?”
“You guys chat, I’m going to see the two grandsons.”
Having said that, she left them alone.
Lin Anan looked at Li Xiuli and asked, “You must have sothing specific in mind coming to see , just say it, we shouldn’t stand on ceremony with each other.”
She is the youngest daughter of the Lin Family.
When her sister-in-law entered the family, she was still in school.
She got along well with the sisters-in-law at ho.
That one sister-in-law who was willing to let her parents and brothers continue to support her education—she would rember that for a lifeti.
Li Xiuli knew her sister-in-law was straightforward and didn’t hide anything from her. She said:
“Indeed, there’s sothing, but it’s not about the family, it’s about Tangtang.”
She played coy.
Lin Anan’s curiosity was piqued, and she asked, “Tangtang? What’s up with Tangtang?”
A hint of pride colored Li Xiuli’s face.
“Tangtang has beco a worker at the cotton Textile Factory!”
Lin Anan, living in the county, knew how hard it was to find a job these days.
“What? Tangtang has beco a worker at the cotton Textile Factory?” Her tone was thick with disbelief.
That’s the cotton Textile Factory we’re talking about.
Even the always silent ng Shichang looked surprised.
“Of course it’s true. I wouldn’t joke about such a thing,” Li Xiuli said with a smile.
Lin Anan was extrely curious.
“Really? Tangtang is amazing.”
“Whose help did she get? How did she manage to secure a job at the Textile Factory, which is so hard to get into!”
The Textile Factory is a major plant.
The benefits are good, the pay is high, everyone wants to get in.
But, the quota every year is pitifully small.
Without solid connections, it’s as hard as reaching for the skies.
Li Xiuli couldn’t help but straighten her back.
She was unspeakably proud.
“She didn’t need anyone’s help!”
“It was Tangtang herself who found the opportunity. She got lucky, helped soone out, and obtained an exam qualification. She got in through a legitimate examination.”
Now, the expressions on Lin Anan and ng Shichang’s faces were even more incredulous.
An exam? She got in by taking an exam?
They had never even heard about the Textile Factory recruiting workers.
That luck is indeed sothing else.
Lin Anan said, “That’s because Tangtang is capable.”
“If she hadn’t put in the work ordinarily, how could she just walk in and get the job?”
If soone has no real skills, even if a job is handed to them on a platter, they can still ss it up.
ng Shichang felt it was strange that they hadn’t received any information about the recruitnt.
So he spoke up, “Tangtang’s position at the Textile Factory isn’t just that of an ordinary female worker, is it?”
If they were hiring ordinary female workers, there would have been so talk about it.
Li Xiuli’s gaze towards ng Shichang changed.
Not for nothing was he the Team Leader at the at factory.
He was the first one to hit the nail on the head.
If it hadn’t been for her third brother ntioning last night that Tangtang had beco an official directly.
She would have thought her daughter was just going to work on the factory floor.
Unfortunately, she left ho too early this morning, and she hadn’t found anyone she could share her news with.
Therefore, when she heard ng Shichang’s words, the smile on her face grew even more radiant.
“Her uncle guessed correctly. Tangtang isn’t just an ordinary female worker at the factory; she’s sothing at the Broadcasting Station, an official of so sort.”
“I, a rural woman, don’t know exactly what an official does.
All I heard from Qingmu is that Tangtang ca first in the exams and beca an official at the Broadcasting Station; she’s already sitting in an office.”
When it ca to this matter, she couldn’t be prouder.
Her, Li Xiuli’s daughter, wasn’t just a worker. She had leapt several levels and beco an official in one go.
Whose daughter could achieve such a feat?!
Lin Anan took a deep breath, her face full of amazent.
This niece of hers is really sothing!
