Chapter 72 Each has its own abilities

Gu Wan also said in front of the whole family: "If the two temporary worker quotas are interested, the eldest aunt and the second aunt can get one. But only one. I will give the other quota to the team leader and let him arrange it."

Then Shi Guixiang also gave some instructions and told her daughters-in-law that after all, Gu Wan was now an educated youth in the Red Flag Brigade.

She is not only a member of the Gu family, but also represents the face of the entire Red Flag Brigade. If both places are taken by members of the Gu family.

In the future, the Gu family might be ostracized in the village, and their lives will not be easy.

It is unnecessary to offend the entire village just for a temporary job. It is a case of losing the big picture for the small.

Qiao Yuemei said directly that she was not interested in being a helper and would not compete with her elder and second sisters-in-law for this position.

Dong Xiu'e, the eldest daughter-in-law of Gu Lao, was more modest, while Huang Chunlan, the second daughter-in-law of Gu Lao, was more active. In the end, it was Shi Guixiang who made the final decision:
"The second oldest, you go. The oldest still has to help take care of the baby."

But Shi Guixiang also made it clear that this temporary worker position was obtained because of Gu Wan, so that the second son's wife would be nicer to her eldest niece in the future.

As I said before, it is the eldest family that has been sacrificing and dedicating themselves all the time, so the second family should be nicer to the eldest family.

Of course, the next time something good happens at home, we will definitely think of the old family first.

Huang Chunlan was of course happy, but as for whether Dong Xiu'e had any other ideas in her mind.

It is impossible to say that there is absolutely no difference, but she knows it in her heart.

When her daughter-in-law had a difficult delivery, and later when the child needed milk powder and her daughter-in-law needed to recuperate during the confinement period, her parents-in-law paid for it and provided help, and her eldest niece also helped a lot.

The current temporary worker quota was earned by the eldest niece with her own ability. It is good enough that the Gu family can get one. Even if it can only fall on the second wife, they have nothing to say.

As for the other temporary worker's quota, although the daughters-in-law of the old Gu family felt unbalanced, they understood it after the mother-in-law explained it.

The key point is that they saw the ability of their eldest niece.

Wanwan had only been in the countryside for a short time, and not only had she found a job in the commune, she had also been able to get two temporary worker positions from her superiors.

I believe that with her ability, she will be able to find other accommodation options for her family in no time.

Therefore, they did not have much complaints about this and agreed to the plan of giving the other temporary worker quota to the team leader for allocation.

Gu Baoguo was also very shocked when he received the news. In addition to being surprised and admiring Gu Wan's ability, he also respected her open-minded and righteous style.

The team leader discussed it with the public security director and the women's director of the Red Flag Brigade, and finally they all agreed to allocate the temporary worker quota to Zhang Laosi's wife.

Speaking of which, they are a poor family. Zhang Laosi is in poor health and is said to have a serious congenital heart disease.

He gets out of breath after walking a few steps and can't do any heavy work, but his family is poor and has no money to treat the disease, so he can only rely on luck.

The family finally found him a wife, but his brother and sister-in-law thought they were a burden and insisted on dividing the family. Then the whole family was supported by Zhang Laosi's wife alone.

Zhang Laosi's wife is a capable person who can handle all kinds of work inside and outside the house.

But no matter how capable she was, she was just a country woman. The annual output from the fields was barely enough to provide food and drink for her husband and children. Therefore, their family could be considered the most difficult one in the Red Flag Brigade.

If this temporary job quota was given to Zhang Laosi's wife, the money she could earn by working in the commune every day for a month would definitely be better than the work points she could earn by working in the fields. With the help of the men and children at home, life would definitely be better than it is now.

Naturally, the village cadres unanimously decided to give this job opportunity to Zhang Laosi's wife, Zhao Yujing.

Considering that most of the names given to children in the countryside, especially girls, are flowers and plants, Zhang Laosi's wife, named Zhao Yujing, is quite special.

Zhao Yujing is also a capable person, although she was almost sold out by her family before she married Zhang Laosi.

But after marrying Zhang Laosi, she lived with him wholeheartedly, even though his health was poor and he was despised by his parents-in-law and his brothers and sisters-in-law when they separated from the family, making life extremely difficult for the three of them.

However, Zhao Yujing did not give up and took care of the men and children in the family without complaint. The villagers, especially the cadres, admired her very much.

Therefore, the director of the Women's Department proposed to give this temporary worker quota to Zhao Yujing, which was unanimously agreed by the brigade cadres.

The result had not yet been announced in the village, but it had been discovered by others, who even went to the brigade headquarters to argue with the village cadres.

As for the person who came, how should I describe her? Logically, she should be of the same generation as Shi Guixiang.

But for some reasons, although he had an average relationship with Shi Guixiang, he always smiled and had something to talk about when he met her three daughters-in-law.

If the old Gu family is well-known for loving their daughters, not to mention that the whole family dotes on the youngest, Gu Wan.

In the past, their family had three sons and one daughter, and Gu Xiang was loved by the whole family since she was a child. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her, a country girl, to go to middle school in the county town.

In contrast, Aunt Liu is well-known for favoring boys over girls.

Aunt Liu was as fertile as Shi Guixiang, but she gave birth to six daughters before she had a son.

The only precious baby is naturally cherished by the whole family, but the six daughters all have a very miserable life.

When they are young, they need to go to the fields to earn work points. The men and sons in the family are supported by the daughters. When they are older, they can go out to earn some dowry money.

If you marry a girl from their family, you have to give a gift of marriage gift, but it is impossible for them to give you a dowry.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with using the bride price for marrying off a daughter to raise a son. Many people do this, but at least they will choose a reliable man for their daughter.

After all, the kind of man a girl marries will determine her destiny for the rest of her life.

But Aunt Liu San is not a human being. As long as the other party is willing to pay, she will marry off any girl, no matter how weird they are.

The men her daughters married were either addicted gamblers or beat their wives, or were idiots or widowers. In short, they would do anything for money.

Now there is only the youngest daughter left in the family. In addition to going to work every day, she has to do various chores when she gets home. The other youngest son is actually ten years old, but he does nothing at home.

This time, I don’t know where Aunt Liu heard the news from, but the commune’s small kitchen was recruiting temporary workers, and they wanted people from the Red Flag Brigade.

Aunt Liu San is not a fool. She will definitely not be able to grab the temporary worker quota that is destined to belong to the old Gu family.

What about the other one? Why should it be given to Zhao Yujing?
