1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1810 I'm really going to have a job.
Hearing this, Xiao's mother felt much more at ease. She stared at the job application form in her hand for a long time, then suddenly looked up and said, "Can you read what's written on this for me?"

Chu Xue paused for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Mom, I've been watching you for so long, I thought your literacy class wasn't a waste of time."

Xiao's mother said somewhat embarrassedly, "Those literacy classes were just for passing the time. I did learn some characters back then, but it's been so many years, I've long forgotten them all by the teachers who taught me to read."

Du Juan was amused by her aunt's words and pointed to the job application form, reading it to her.

Xiao's mother took a deep breath: "I'll have Chunxiao teach me some more when she has time. I can't go into the factory without knowing a single word. I can't let people laugh at me."

Chu Xue, Fu Yancheng, and Du Juan exchanged glances: What's going on? Now that she has a job, Comrade Zhao Lamei has become more ambitious?

As soon as Xiao's mother looked up, she saw their expressions: "You don't believe me?"

Chu Xue didn't want to argue with her about this: "Believe it, how can you not believe it? There are still some days before you report for duty after the New Year. You can indeed use this time to let Chunxiao teach you properly. If you can really read, maybe she can arrange a better position for you, such as working in the logistics warehouse."

Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother immediately became enthusiastic: "Alright, I'll try my best to learn to read."

She often envied those with glamorous jobs. If Chu Xue really said that she could be assigned to logistics, that would be so prestigious.

After finishing their business, Chu Xue and the others didn't linger: "Mom, we still need to go help Uncle Fu, so we'll be leaving now."

Chu Xue thought of something and looked at Du Juan: "It's snowing outside, do you want your cousin-in-law and I to take you home?"

Du Juan waved her hand and said, "No need, no need, I've already told Minghua that she'll come pick me up after get off work."

Hearing her say that, Chu Xue said, "Okay, then we'll be going now."

After the two left, Xiao's mother was still somewhat incredulous: "Dujuan, am I really going to have a job?"

Du Juan smiled at her: "Really, Auntie, you'll have a job soon. No, I should say you do have a job now, you even have the application form in your hands."

Xiao's mother couldn't wait a moment longer: "Dujuan, come here, teach me to read the words on this watch." Dujuan didn't expect her aunt to be so impulsive and actually want to learn to read: "Okay, I'll teach you."

This teaching went very well; one of them was so engrossed in teaching that the other was so focused on learning that they completely forgot about the stone.

Jiang Minghua came to pick them up: "Where's Shitou? I haven't seen him."

Xiao's mother slapped her forehead: "Oh no, I forgot to pick him up."

Jiang Minghua froze, looking at Du Juan: "Wife, what's wrong with Auntie? How could she forget to catch the stone?"

Du Juan patted him on the shoulder: "I'll tell you in a bit."

She looked at Xiao's mother, who was busy changing her shoes: "Aunt, don't rush. Let Minghua run over to pick up the person first, and explain to the teacher while he's at it."

Jiang Minghua then realized what was happening: "Yes, Aunt, I'll go pick them up first, you can come over later. It's snowing quite a bit outside, so please be careful."

After saying that, he had already run out of the yard.

Xiao's mother didn't care about anything else; she changed her shoes and ran outside.

As a result, she had only gone a short distance from the gate when she ran into Xiao's father.

Seeing her like this, Xiao's father thought something had happened at home: "What's wrong?"

When she saw it was her own man, she forgot all about feeling guilty and hurriedly called out, "Quick, quick, go get Shitou! I was so busy I forgot!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao parked the car there and ran out, saying, "How could you forget to pick up the child on such a cold day?"
