Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 83 Zhang Cuicui's Abnormal Behavior
The two arrived at the popsicle stand, and Bai Jing spent three cents to buy two milk popsicles. They then sat down under the shade of a tree and ate them.

"You mentioned before that the exam is divided into different job categories. Could you tell me more about that?" She really wanted to know.

“Of course you can, but don’t even think about office matters. Not everyone can take that advice.” Zhang Cuicui understood Bai Jing’s thoughts perfectly well, but it would be difficult to get any advice from her.

After all, not everyone can take the exam.

Is there some other explanation behind this?

"Of course, do you think getting a job is so easy?" After saying that, Zhang Cuicui noticed the popsicle in her hand and said embarrassedly, "Um, I didn't mean you couldn't do it, I..."

"I know, don't be nervous. I won't overthink it. I'm not from this town, so I don't know much about what's going on here. It just so happens that I ran into you and we get along well, so I wanted to ask you a lot of questions. It's okay if you can't give me any advice. It's already great that I can find a job."

Yes, that's exactly what she thought.

She really doesn't think much of the paper mill job; she hasn't decided where to work yet.

"If that's what you think, then I'll explain the ins and outs to you. I don't know if it's right or wrong; I just heard it from someone else."

Seeing that she was saying this and eating someone else's popsicle, Zhang Cuicui couldn't very well not reveal anything.

One spoke earnestly, and the other listened attentively.

To put it bluntly, if you want to get into an office, the exam isn't the key; the key is having connections in your family and having places to pull strings.

After hearing this, Bai Jing knew she had no chance, since she had no connections or way to give gifts.

"It seems I can only be a glorious frontline worker." A hint of disappointment appeared on Bai Jing's face.

"Hey, don't think like that. If you don't like this job, you can sell it after you pass the exam. You can also apply for other jobs in a few months. You'll eventually find a job that you like."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing's clever mind immediately figured out why the comrade in front of her was so optimistic.

"You mean selling jobs?" Bai Jing said in a low voice.

When Zhang Cuicui saw that she had guessed it so quickly, she immediately knew that the person in front of her was also intelligent.

That's right, Zhang Cuicui is already twenty-one years old, but she doesn't have a proper job yet. However, she doesn't look like someone who is short of money. The clothes she wears and the accessories she carries don't seem like the kind of thing that only has one worker in the family.

After guessing her intention to take the exam, Bai Jing felt that there were really a lot of clever people in this world.

After all, that's what she was thinking too, isn't it?

However, her job wasn't for sale; it was for her family.

“I didn’t say anything.” Zhang Cuicui was a smart woman and naturally wouldn’t agree to that.

"If you actually pass the exam but are still dissatisfied with the job, you can come to me; my family needs help finding work."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing understood everything.

"it is good."

After asking a few more questions, Bai Jing went to the hospital.

Upon learning that lunch at the hospital was so expensive, Bai Quanfu took the children home to cook. Of course, Luo Chunhua still ate the hospital's meals.

After Bai Jing told her mother about her idea, Luo Chunhua was quite supportive.

"This method is good, but it's delaying your own time, Xiaojing. Do you have any thoughts on this?" Luo Chunhua had already accepted the fact that her daughter had become the family's support and was willing to put her first in everything.

"I want to help my second and third aunts get jobs first. I need to find other jobs for my father and second uncle, since working at the paper mill would not be good for their future development."

When the whole family is together, they naturally want to make their lives prosperous.

“What’s wrong with that? It’s good enough that they have a job. They’re so picky. Look how capable they are.” Luo Chunhua rolled her eyes. “You didn’t think that much. They are elders after all. They can’t expect you, the younger generation, to do everything. Once they’re familiar with the town, let them find jobs on their own.”

Between her husband and her daughter, she chose her daughter. "Okay, I'll listen to you. But you need to get better soon, Mom. The job at the police station canteen is waiting for you; it's a permanent position."

She was a temporary worker before, but her efforts led to her being promoted to a permanent employee by the bureau.

"I remember. I'll go back to work when I'm better, and then I'll have money to support you all." Luo Chunhua was very happy.

Life at home is really getting better and better.

The next day, Bai Jing arrived at the paper mill early to wait for the exam.

After hearing what Zhang Cuicui said yesterday, she stopped worrying about the exams in the next few days and decided to focus on getting the job first.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Zhang Cuicui again.

"I thought you weren't coming today." Zhang Cuicui was also surprised to see Bai Jing. From their conversation yesterday, she could tell that this new neighbor was ambitious, but she didn't expect her to come today.

“We’re all workers, there’s no distinction between noble and lowly jobs, all jobs are the same, we’re all serving the people, aren’t we?” Bai Jing’s pretty words flowed so smoothly.

This made Zhang Cuicui feel a little embarrassed.

"That's right, it's all about serving the people and striving for the country."

After a few dry words, it was their turn to enter.

The two were not assigned to the same examination room, and Bai Jing didn't have the mind to think too much about it at the moment.

When she received the exam questions, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she could understand them and do the questions.

Although some things have been forgotten, some knowledge is deeply rooted in the mind and cannot be forgotten even if one wants to.

Bai Jing finished writing all the papers in about half an hour, and some people had already handed in their papers and left before her.

"Hello teacher, I've finished writing." Bai Jing raised her hand to indicate.

An elderly man with a full head of white hair came up to Bai Jing, glanced at her test paper, and waved to her, "Leave when you're done, come back at two o'clock this afternoon to check your results."

"Yes."

Get up and leave.

There wasn't the slightest pause.

As soon as she came out, she saw a beautiful figure standing not far away, as if waiting for her. When she saw her come out, the person immediately raised their hand and waved at her.

There was nothing Bai Jing didn't understand.

She quickly ran to the person's side, "You waited for me on purpose?"

"That's right. I ate your popsicle yesterday, so I have to treat you to one today. Come on, let's go eat popsicles, and then we'll go home together."

That's right, the person waiting for Bai Jing was none other than Zhang Cuicui.

Bai Jing smiled and said, "Okay."

Each of them held a milk popsicle and walked step by step toward home.

"It seems the job we were tested on today was inspector. We're really lucky."

Zhang Cuicui revealed a shocking piece of news.

It's important to know that paper mills have many production workshops, but the inspection department, packaging department, and sorting department are the easiest and least polluting departments, and are very popular with the workers.

Unfortunately, to get in here, you either need real skills or connections, especially in easy departments like the inspection department, which isn't a place anyone can just get into.

Nine out of ten got in through exams.
