Chapter 90 The children of the poor have become rich early
Several women in the family knew simple needlework, so the others did simple splicing work, while Dong Xiu'e was specifically responsible for double-threading.

My aunt is really amazing. The stitches are very straight, almost like those made by a sewing machine.

There is strength in numbers. A hand-woven bag was completed before dark, and Gu Wan was very satisfied.

Some of the wider strips of cloth can also be sorted out and saved for making bags.

The remaining scraps of cloth were the main materials for making jackets, so Gu Wan left them all to her grandmother, who could use them for patching or making jackets.

Not only her, but everyone in the family can use it.

I heard that Qi Bin got these scraps of cloth back from the county town today by using his connections. Shi Guixiang sighed in her heart once again. Qi Bin is really amazing.

She didn't quite understand the specific meaning of the word, but she heard it from her granddaughter. Anyway, it seemed that the pond at home could not grow lotus roots for the Qi family.

Two days have passed. There is no point in dragging it out any longer. It’s not like the village cadres are afraid of Aunt Liu’s tantrum.

So the team leader thought about it and decided to formally go to Zhang Laosi's house in the evening to inform Zhao Yujing and ask her to go to the commune with Gu Wan tomorrow morning.

"Go to the commune to work?" Zhao Yujing repeated stupidly.

She was a little nervous, and suspected that she had heard it wrongly, and her hands kept rubbing against each other.

"Yes, isn't Gu Wan working in the small kitchen over there in the commune? We need two helpers, and after discussion with the brigade, we specially let you go there to work." However, the brigade leader also emphasized: "For the time being, you can only be a temporary worker. Apart from a salary of ten yuan per month, there are no other benefits."

Zhao Yujing still couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to her?
After thinking about it, the captain still couldn't bear it, so he told her: "But don't worry, this job is very simple, just help Gu Wan when she cooks. Be diligent, you have to do all the work such as washing vegetables, cutting vegetables and washing dishes. Go there around 10 o'clock every morning and clean up the kitchen at noon and come back."

This way, she won't be delayed in taking care of the family.

It was not until now that Zhao Yujing finally realized that the news was true, and she immediately broke into a big smile.

Zhao Yujing didn't care at all about what the team leader said about temporary workers having no other benefits.

Ten yuan, how many work points does she need to earn to get that?

And those are not really work at all. These things also need to be done at home. If you do some work in the commune, you can get paid.

This is simply pie in the sky.

Then, the captain simply did his best to be a good person and suggested that Zhao Yujing ask Gu Wan how to do the job specifically.

In fact, Aunt Liu went to the brigade office to cause trouble a few days ago, and the news was widely spread among the villagers. Zhao Yujing also heard about it.

But she didn't take it seriously, because of her husband's illness, the burden of life has been on her in the past few years.

Zhao Yujing couldn't believe that she had such good luck. Plus, after the scene caused by Aunt Liu San, it was said that everyone in the old Gu family was very angry.

So Zhao Yujing felt even more strongly that the temporary worker position would never fall on her.

The man has been feeling unwell these past two days. He has difficulty breathing at night and cannot sleep all night long.

But the family has no money and cannot take the man to the hospital for treatment, which makes Zhao Yujing very worried.

Except for some dry food cooked for the man and the children, she has been eating porridge for two consecutive days.

If you are really hungry, just drink some water. Drinking water can fill your stomach. Anyway, the food will be left behind to exchange for money.

Before Zhao Yujing could go find Gu Wan to find out what happened, the little girl from the Gu family came over on her own initiative.

Gu Wan also knew that the team leader went to Zhang's house to inform Zhang Laosi's wife to go to work in the commune. Even her second aunt did not object to this.

"Hey, Zhang Laosi's wife is a good person. If someone else went to work with me, I would be worried that she would steal my job. But this is the Zhang family, Wanwan, so just do your best to help Yujing if you can." Gu Wan didn't know much about Zhang Laosi's wife, Zhao Yujing, except for a few words from her grandmother.

But the second aunt, who was the most shrewd and stingy in the family, spoke well of her, and Gu Wan also became rarely interested in Zhao Yujing.

We were also thinking about working together in the future. We all came from the Red Flag Brigade, so it was very important to maintain good relations and internal unity.

Therefore, Gu Wan also made this trip, mainly to tell Zhao Yujing to set out at around nine in the morning and they would walk together and arrive at the commune at about ten o'clock.

"Aunt, don't be too nervous. You can be with my second aunt when the time comes. Just watch what she does and follow her."

Zhao Yujing knew about it; the captain had told her.

The two temporary worker quotas given by the commune can be used by Gu Wan to arrange manpower, because these workers are supposed to cooperate with the chef.

Gu Wan was kind-hearted, so of course she reserved one spot for the old Gu family and gave it to her second aunt.

However, the other quota was arranged by the team leader, so Zhao Yujing was able to get the job.

The captain said this so that Zhao Yujing would remember to appreciate it.

To be honest, seeing Gu Wan's appearance now, Zhao Yujing felt a little embarrassed.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yujing finished her housework, asked her child to stay at home with her father, and then went out.

Her daughter is almost six years old and is very well-behaved. She always stays at home with her father when her mother goes out to work.

I will also do some housework within my ability seriously.

Zhao Yujing is living such a serious and hard life now. In addition to wanting to save some money so that her husband can go to a big hospital for a check-up, she also hopes to be able to support her daughter to go to school in two years.

It’s just a pity that you can’t earn much money working in the village even if you work hard all year round.

Now Gu Wan has given her a temporary job, which means more hope in Zhao Yujing's life.

Because there was no clock at home, Zhao Yujing didn't know the time and was afraid of being late for work.

So Zhao Yujing got up very early. In fact, when she arrived outside the Gu family's gate, she didn't see anyone along the way.

Zhao Yujing was a little anxious, but she also knew what was right and wrong, so she didn't say anything and just waited outside silently.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Gu Mingfeng and Shi Guixiang, the first people in the Gu family to get up to work, opened the gate and saw her.

Shi Guixiang immediately pulled her into the house and poured her a cup of hot tea. "Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?"

Nowadays, no matter if it is a courtesy or not, people generally don’t eat at other people’s homes.

After all, every family has a fixed amount of food rations, and each meal is cooked according to the number of people, so Zhao Yujing would definitely say that she had already eaten.

Zhang Laosi was in poor health and could not do heavy work, but he had no problem boiling water and cooking at home, so Zhao Yujing really had eaten in the morning.

The porridge is just a big pot of water with a few grains of rice added.

Early in the morning, her daughter would get up and start working. Every day before breakfast, she would go and pick up a basket of manure.

At this time, manure is a good thing. In addition to using it to fertilize your own vegetable fields and private plots, you can also earn work points by handing it over to the team.
