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

Chapter 85 Passed the exam

The younger brother, Xiaoyong, was the first to come to Bai Jing's side. "Big sister, how did your exam go? Did you pass?"

The little guy is very concerned about his older sister's job application.

"What do you think?" Bai Jing pinched his little face. He wasn't very fleshy, but he looked much better than when she first came back.

"Big sister can definitely do it."

The second and third sisters nodded in agreement, "That's right, eldest sister can definitely do it."

Bai Jing felt immense pressure being trusted so much by her younger siblings, mainly because she genuinely lacked self-confidence.

Thinking about those who handed in their papers earlier than her, she felt a little uneasy.

Ugh.

"Then I believe in you."

Once inside, Bai Jing asked, "Did Dad go to the hospital?" Not seeing her father, she asked.

"Yes, Dad was worried about Mom, so he went to the hospital and asked Second Sister to cook lunch for us," Xiao Qing answered first.

Bai Jing put the snacks on the table. "Good girl, let's go see what other dishes we have."

Upon entering the kitchen, Bai Jing saw that there were still plenty of vegetables, but not much meat. Remembering the food rations her family had just received, she decided she had to go and buy some meat first thing tomorrow morning.

"Let's eat this for today." She took out a dried pheasant that her third aunt had prepared. "Would you like it stir-fried or stewed?"

"Stir-fried."

After having lunch at home and taking a nap with her younger siblings, Bai Jing went out again.

However, at noon, Xiao Jin told her why Zhang Cuicui was looking for her.

As long as it doesn't harm her, that's fine.

So when Zhang Cuicui was waiting for her at the intersection in the afternoon, she didn't try to hide it from people.

"Bai Jing, I'm sorry. I was wrong this morning and scared you." Her first words upon meeting were an apology, showing Zhang Cuicui's sincerity.

Bai Jing took out a White Rabbit milk candy. "I forgive you, but you're really bold. You've only known me for a short time, yet you dare to tell me anything. What if I were a bad person? Have you ever thought about what would happen to you?"

Zhang Cuicui is really bold.

"Well, I didn't think about it because we're neighbors." Zhang Cuicui blushed. Her second brother had already told her that she hadn't thought things through.

“But you don’t need to feel pressured. If you don’t want to, that’s fine too. I won’t force you,” Zhang Cuicui added, afraid that she might overthink it.

Bai Jing almost rolled her eyes. If you want to force yourself, you need to have the ability.

"Alright, go check your grades."

Bai Jing didn't give a direct answer, but she was somewhat tempted.

After all, Xiao Jin said that this method is actually quite safe, but you need a source of information, otherwise no matter how capable you are, it's useless.

When the results came out, both of them were on the list, but their jobs were different. The inspector job that was originally promised did not come true, and he became a worker on the baking line instead.

This job is not bad, but it's a pity that it will be very tiring in the summer.

Bai Jing planned to give the job to her second aunt, since no one in her second uncle's family had a job yet.

To avoid worrying them, let's put their minds at ease first.

“Your job is pretty good, it won’t be too difficult. Mine is much harder.” Zhang Cuicui looked at the work certificate in Bai Jing’s hand and felt envious.

"Her job could only fetch three hundred yuan, what a waste." Bai Jing looked at Zhang Cuicui, this time with a serious expression. "Do you know many people who sell jobs?" If Zhang Cuicui had someone selling jobs, she might as well buy one for her father and second uncle as well.

Zhang Cuicui was taken aback, wondering why she asked that question.

Seeing her stunned expression, Bai Jing directly stated her meaning, "Don't overthink it. I just wanted to ask if there are any suitable jobs for my dad and his family. I want to buy two jobs for my family."

Hearing this, Zhang Cuicui immediately came to her senses. "Yes, yes, what kind of job do you want?" She could ask her second brother to inquire, since he was more familiar with them and had helped her sell most of her jobs.

It's just that my second brother's grades weren't good, so I stepped in to take the exam.

What kind of work is this? It seems there are indeed many connections in their line of work.

"I'll go home and ask around. You can ask around for me too. See if anyone at the lumber mill is selling jobs, preferably the kind that can lead to promotions. If not, see if any steel mills are hiring, preferably ones close to home."

"Okay, I'll ask in a bit. Bai Jing, I really want to be friends with you. I don't have any bad intentions. Can you please not be angry with me?"

Zhang Cuicui looked like she was pushing her luck.

Bai Jing looked helpless. "I'm not angry. You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against others. I'm not very familiar with you, and you said those things this morning, so naturally I have to be more wary of you."

She's not a god; she can't judge good or bad at a glance.

"It's so good that you're not angry."

The two went home together this time.

This was the first time Bai Jing had ever known where Zhang Cuicui's home was. Seeing Zhang Cuicui showing her around the house, Bai Jing's guard against her lowered a little.

Back home, three pairs of eyes were fixed on her, making Bai Jing uneasy. "I passed the exam," she said, pulling out a certificate.

Bai Ling was quick and snatched it first to check.

Upon seeing the official red seal, she burst into tears.

"Reading is useful."

No one expected her to cry, let alone that she would say that studying is useful.

Bai Jing could somewhat understand her feelings, so she stepped forward and patted her on the back, saying, "I'm using facts to prove my good intentions. Xiao Ling, you must study hard."

If she could change her life, she would want her second sister to have a different life than in her previous life.

She would support them if they were to get back together, at least her second sister's wife was a bit rough around the edges, but she was really good to her second sister.

After calming her second sister down, Bai Jing began preparing dinner. Just as the dinner was ready, her father returned home.

At the dinner table, Bai Jing also asked him what kind of job he wanted.

Bai Quanfu was startled. "Why are you asking about this?" He wanted to look for a job, but he would have to wait until Chunhua recovered.

“I met a friend today who has connections, so I thought I’d help you and your second uncle find jobs. Of course, you’ll have to pay for it yourselves, I don’t have that much money on hand.”

Bai Jing wasn't reluctant to spend the money, but she didn't fully trust her father and didn't dare tell him about her family's situation.

He can only truly know the situation at home if he has the support of everyone in his family.

“Of course we can’t let you pay, but we don’t have the money to buy a job right now. Your mother isn’t well yet, so why don’t we wait a little longer?” Bai Quanfu didn’t think much of it and just answered based on what he knew.

"This is a rare opportunity, Dad. Just tell me what kind of job you're looking for," Bai Jing asked directly, not wanting to waste time.

When Bai Quanfu saw his eldest daughter ask this question, he casually replied, "I learned repair when I was in the army. If you really want to find a job, find one that you know how to do. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease taking the salary."

"Of course, I also know some woodworking. I learned it from a comrade-in-arms. I'm not an expert, but I can still make finished products," he added.
