Chapter 79 Everyone has different selfishness
In Huang Chunlan's view, washing and cutting vegetables was nothing. She could also do wiping the table and washing dishes after dinner by herself.

No matter what, it won’t be more tiring than working in the fields.

If she worked harder and performed better, the commune leaders might see and remember it, and would even give her a regular job ahead of schedule.

Although Huang Chunlan had some small calculations in her mind, she didn't have so many evil thoughts, and she didn't even think about one person for each job.

It’s easy to deal with temporary workers, but how could the commune easily convert a temporary worker to a regular worker and add a staffing quota?
At that time, jobs were all stable jobs that could be passed down from generation to generation.

The reason why Gu Wan was able to become the chef of the small kitchen was not only because of her excellent cooking skills, but also because of the great efforts put in by Secretary Qi Bin and Zhao.

Huang Chunlan didn't understand all this. She just thought that old ladies didn't need to do cleaning work at home.

Anyway, the Gu family has many descendants and most of the children are filial, so why do they actively ask for work when they go to the commune?

Thinking of this, Huang Chunlan became nervous. Could it be that the old lady also wanted to compete with her for this job opportunity?
With just one glance, Gu Wan saw through his second aunt's little thoughts. She just had a low EQ in love, but her IQ was very high in other areas.

She thought it was funny but didn't point it out. This job opportunity was originally brought by her, and Gu Wan would be happier if her second aunt was willing to work hard.

In addition to accompanying her grandmother to the county town to visit her aunt, Gu Wan is now thinking about going to Secretary Zheng's house to cook private dishes.

Yes, in the future, going to someone’s home to prepare a family dinner is just like cooking a private meal, right?
It is not time to open up the economy yet. Even if the college entrance examination is resumed, it will take several years. Gu Wan is confident in his cultural level.

By then she will definitely take the college entrance examination, and there will be no problem in doing business or other things in the future, but no matter in which era, academic qualifications are a good stepping stone to do business.

And now, in addition to the convenience that the red envelope group can bring her, Gu Wan also hopes to expand her own family resources.

Now that I've used my cooking skills to get a job opportunity, it would be great to take this opportunity to make more friends.

Going to Secretary Zheng's house to cook a private meal is a great opportunity. Nowadays, being able to hire someone to cook for you requires an open mind and financial freedom, which is the most important qualification.

In fact, ordinary people nowadays are generally not very rich. After all, given the overall level of the national economic strength, not many people can afford private dishes.

Gu Wan doesn't care about money, but about Secretary Zheng, his lover, and the circle of friends around him.

Because Gu Wan’s cooking was delicious, leaders of the commune, both big and small, had lunch in the small kitchen almost every day these days, including the enthusiastic Ma Hongli, so she heard a lot of gossip, big and small.

Among them is Zheng's family. He is also old and now works as the deputy secretary of Yongfeng Commune purely as a transitional period before retirement.

In fact, Secretary Zheng used to be very capable, and all of his children have great prospects in the outside world.

So Gu Wan felt that he must seize this opportunity, and on the day of the meal he needed to firmly control the stomachs of Secretary Zheng and his lover.

Before she even started cooking, Gu Wan was already thinking about how she could make this meal given the limited raw materials she had available.
According to habit, Gu Wan only needed to arrive at the commune around ten o'clock.

But early in the morning, she saw the old lady and second aunt were both fidgeting there, so she decided to set off early to reassure them.

So even without a watch, Gu Wan estimated that it was probably only a little after eight o'clock and not yet nine o'clock, so she told her grandmother and second aunt that they were ready to leave.

Of course, the three female comrades were accompanied by Qi Bin, who was currently listed by Gu Zhiqiang as the most annoying and the cutest (needing his help in matchmaking). It was just after nine o'clock when they arrived at the commune. Gu Wan thought she arrived early today, but the commune leaders were already sitting there and working.

Gu Wan sighed in his heart, it turned out that most of the public servants at this time were dedicated to the public and worked sincerely for the people.

Secretary Zhao, who had just made a cup of tea and was about to drink it and read the newspaper while learning about the specific production conditions of the various brigades under the commune, smiled and said, "Xiao Gu came so early today. Are you going to make us something new for lunch?"

Except for Secretary Zhao, other leaders in the commune do not have separate offices.

Coincidentally, the small kitchen was built on the side of Secretary Zhao's office, so it was the first thing Gu Wan saw when he arrived.

Gu Wan held her chest and pretended to be sad. "Uncle Zhao, is it possible that the food I cooked before was not delicious?"

The commune leaders were all very kind. Except for the younger ones like Ma Hongli, everyone else let Gu Wan call them uncle.

If we address the leaders one by one by their positions, it would seem that they are not approachable enough.

Gu Wan also followed suit, calling them Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zheng, and her sweet words made the leaders very happy.

In fact, this is how life is. Everyone likes Gu Wan because she cooks delicious food, and to be honest, there is no direct conflict of interest between them.

Therefore, whatever Gu Wan does is good and he will get praise from the commune leaders.

If you are an unlikable person, or if you have affected the promotion of others because of your position in the commune, see if anyone will like you.

At this time, someone else came here to report to Secretary Zhao on official business. After hearing what Gu Wan said, he quickly said, "Which bastard is talking nonsense? Comrade Gu, your cooking is the most delicious."

But before, the two helpers transferred from the canteen were not doing their job. Xiao Gu was the chef, but she was the only one who did the work of washing, cutting vegetables, cleaning the table and washing dishes.

They have been very happy eating in the small kitchen these days. What if they annoy Xiao Gu and she doesn’t want to cook for them in the future?

So when he heard Xiao Gu's words, he quickly refuted it.

Later, they found out that Xiao Gu was joking with Secretary Zhao. The leader was afraid of offending Secretary Zhao, so he felt a little awkward standing there for a while.

It was Gu Wan who took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment: "Uncle Zheng asked me to select two helpers from the Red Flag Brigade. Today I brought my second aunt to help. This is my grandma, who came along to see me. I have to take my grandma to the county town for something in the afternoon. Leaders, can I do this?"

"Of course no problem." This was Secretary Zhao's response.

After that, Ma Hongli was asked to take Huang Chunlan to register for employment, while Secretary Zheng told Shi Guixiang in a friendly manner:

"Grandma, your eldest granddaughter might have done it. We all like the dishes she cooks."

Then he said, "Since you are here at noon, why don't we just eat together in the kitchenette?"

Anyway, the meals were originally supposed to be enough for two helpers, so it wouldn't be considered a violation of the rules if Xiao Gu made some extra food at noon today.
