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

Chapter 89 Everything is settled

Bai Jing has done another good deed this time.

However, this credit was suppressed by the higher-ups because, according to those individuals, they had countless accomplices.

However, Bai Jing's information also caught the attention of some people.

Bai Jing was also a calm person. After settling her younger siblings' schooling, she began to travel with Zhang Cuicui to various factories to take exams.

The two were kindred spirits.

As time went by, their relationship grew stronger.

"By the way, this time it's a recruitment exam in Longsha Town. Do you want to go with me?" Zhang Cuicui's second brother brought her another piece of news: the glass factory in the nearby Longsha Town was recruiting workers, but they were looking for apprentices who needed to have some knowledge of physics.

No residency restrictions.

Zhang Cuicui didn't think much of it; she just shared the news with her friend.

Bai Jing was speechless after hearing this. "This job obviously requires a certain level of knowledge. I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell."

Even if you pass the physics exam, who will buy the job?
It would be better to give it to those who are truly capable.

Besides, it's far away, and she doesn't want to go.

"I don't want to go. I won't take recruitment exams that require specific qualifications unless I want to work for myself," Bai Jing stated her position.

Zhang Cuicui nodded, "That's what I was thinking too. That's why I asked you. After all, the factories in our town are hiring, and if there are any available, it will be next year."

"Next year is fine, no rush. But Sister Cui Cui, shouldn't you have a stable job? I heard last time that the neighborhood committee is planning to take a headcount and start preparing for going to the countryside."

Bai Jing was actually a little speechless. Her family had many children, so they would definitely get a spot in the rural areas. She had already graduated, and by next April she would be seventeen, which would also be the age to go to the countryside.

If this isn't handled well, she might not get away with it either.

This is also one of the reasons why she was interested in the proposal from Team Leader Lin.

Another thing is, you were really moved by what Xiao Jin said, weren't you?

There is no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life; there is only the burden that others bear to move forward.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

If she were an ordinary person like in her previous life, then all she would care about would be her own little corner of the world.

Now that she possesses the system, although she cannot help the common people, she still feels a slight stirring in her heart.

For example, in this incident involving external enemies, she also wanted to contribute her share, within her capabilities.

Of course, she knew in her heart that she was selfish and loved her family more than the larger family.

Zhang Cuicui also became agitated upon hearing this. "My family has been targeted. Last time, Director Zhu came to my house to talk to my parents."

At this point, Zhang Cuicui sighed, "It seems I'm going to be tied down." She was well aware of the rural assignment and was worried about it.

"I heard the grain station needs people, but you need connections. Xiaojing, how about we give it a try?"

Places like grain depots and supply and marketing cooperatives are impossible to get into without connections, unlike factory work. The benefits at these places are unimaginable for most people. "Didn't they say there were no factories in our town hiring this year? Why is the grain depot hiring again?" Bai Jing asked, puzzled. She had just been told that there were no factories in the town hiring.

"This information came from private inquiries. You know my situation; I'd rather take the exam myself than give gifts," Zhang Cuicui said, rolling her eyes.

Bai Jing understood. "Their jobs are different." Putting aside the supply and marketing cooperative, the staff of the grain station could buy a certain amount of welfare grain with their own money. These days, who doesn't lack grain?
Do you dare say your family has enough food to eat?
How can we ensure that adults, children, and the elderly can all have enough to eat at every meal?

"You need a place to take the exam if you want to. What kind of place is the grain station? As soon as they are short-staffed, they have insiders filling in or family members taking over. There is no chance for outsiders. I think you should just focus on giving gifts. If you can get a good job by giving gifts, it's not a loss."

Having followed Zhang Cuicui to so many places, Bai Jing has come to know that some jobs in the town are so hard to come by that you can't even ask for them.

Don't be fooled by how easily her family bought jobs with money; people often get stuck at the very first step: money.

That's right. These days, most families don't have money, so buying a job is just wishful thinking.

These days, selling jobs is difficult because there are many buyers but few who can afford to pay for them.

It's hard to buy a job because every family treats their job as a family heirloom. Unless they're driven to desperation, who would be willing to sell their job?

Bai Jing's family was able to buy two jobs at once because they were lucky and had cash on hand; otherwise, they would have been in dire straits.

Zhang Cuicui understood this perfectly well. "It seems that's the only way. Let my second brother help me think of a solution. My parents definitely won't be happy for me to go to the countryside." Zhang Cuicui's parents still loved her very much.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have let her play around until now, never even forcing her to go on a blind date. They let her keep the money she earns from selling her job, and she only needs to give home a small amount of living expenses each month, just like her two older brothers.

In the past, Bai Jing would have been extremely envious of her.

“Then I’ll go. I need to settle down too. Although I’m young, I did graduate from high school. If I don’t find a job, I’m afraid I’ll have to go to the countryside. Sigh, what a mess. I just came from the countryside to the city.” Bai Jing was speechless, but she didn’t regret it.

Leaving the village was her wish for two lifetimes, and she certainly has no regrets.

"Why don't you come with me to the grain station and give it a try?" Zhang Cuicui invited in a cheerful voice.

Bai Jing shook her head, "Forget it, I don't know how many connections your second brother has to use to do a favor. I'll just let it go. Besides, the grain station isn't what I'm looking for. I'll think of another way. Director Zhu hasn't even come to my door yet."

She still has time.

"Alright then." Zhang Cuicui didn't insist anymore. Besides, her own situation had already put her second brother in a difficult position. Adding Bai Jing to the mix would make it hard for him to explain, especially since she herself wasn't even married yet.

After parting ways, the two went home separately.

Her younger siblings are now attending school in town, so she's home alone during the day while her parents have started their own work journeys.

After Luo Chunhua had her stitches removed, her body recovered almost completely. Now, apart from drinking a dose of traditional Chinese medicine to regulate her body before going to bed every day, she is fine.

She's the only one left in the family who has nothing to do.

Her second aunt took over her job, and she also helped her pass the exam for her third aunt; both jobs were at the paper mill, but they weren't in the same department.

Looking at the empty house, Bai Jing felt a little uncomfortable.

She glanced into the kitchen and found that the house had no shortage of grains and oils. For a moment, Bai Jing didn't know what to do.

She was bewildered.

Xiao Jin noticed the change in the host. [Is the host troubled by something?] Ever since the host settled down at home, she has been completely listless. If it weren't for Zhang Cuicui occasionally dragging her out to take tests, the host would probably be rotting at home.
