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

Chapter 389 The Glorious Moment of Liushanliang
After the meal, Liu's mother and Chunxiao watched Liu's father and Chuxue leave.

Because the father and daughter left early, the police station hadn't opened yet when they arrived at the commune: "Dad, after I've settled down in the city, we'll go together next time we leave, and they can give you another check-up."

Mr. Liu thought the same thing. Now that his leg was recovering well, he wondered if the metal plate could be removed sooner so he wouldn't have to keep worrying about it: "Okay, let's go together next time."

After the police station opened and the household registration was transferred, Liu's father carried his bedding roll to the intersection to see Chu Xue off to wait for a bus: "You must take good care of yourself when you are away from home. If you can't find anyone to send a message, send a telegram back."

As Mr. Liu continued his rambling, the bus pulled up.

Chu Xue took the bedding roll: "Dad, I'm leaving. You can go back now."

After watching the car leave, Mr. Liu turned back.

His daughter now has a secure job, which makes him happy, but he is also worried and concerned. After all, he lives far away from his daughter, and if she is bullied, he will be unable to help her, especially since they have no power or influence.

Thinking about what was going on, I walked into the village.

Someone saw him coming in from the village entrance: "Shanliang, where have you been so early in the morning?"

Liu Shanliang didn't hide it. After all, it was a happy occasion for his daughter to go to the city to receive government-supplied food. In addition, the gossipy women in the village had been spreading rumors about their daughter behind her back: "Chuxue got a job in the city. I just saw her off on the bus."

"What? Chu Xue went to work in the city?"

"The county or the city?"

"I went to the city."

Which factory?

"Steel rolling mill".

"Which steel mill?" "The Third Steel Mill near Dongzhimen."

"Wow, that's a huge factory with tens of thousands of employees! How did Chuxue get the job?"

“She went to the city a few days ago and helped someone out, which gave her a chance to get a replacement.”

Upon hearing "job swap," everyone immediately understood that it must be a job bought with money. Those who overheard the news felt a little better, but even so, everyone was still very envious: "Brother Shanliang, what position does Chuxue have?"

When asked the question, Mr. Liu's face lit up with pride: "It's a finance position."

"What? That's great! It's an office job! Wow, that's really a wonderful thing. In our village, only Accountant Liu, oh no, Quanwen's son works in the city, and the Party Secretary's second son works in the county. Your Chuxue is the third person to get a ration, and she's already in a cadre position. That's unique in the village."

Those who had gathered to watch the spectacle began to whisper amongst themselves upon hearing about the cadre position: "My goodness, that girl Chuxue is really something. Not only does she have a job, but she works in an office, and it's a cadre position. This is truly remarkable. Ever since Shanliang separated from her family, good things have been happening non-stop."

"Wait a minute, didn't Chuxue get a job as a substitute teacher at the village primary school? How come she's working in the city now?"

"Are you stupid? How much do village school kids earn a month? And they're not even permanent employees. How can their benefits compare to those of state-owned factories in the city?"

"That's true, but what about the work at the village school?"

Mr. Liu quickly spoke up, "I already spoke with the Party Secretary last night, and they will discuss how to handle it. My daughter Chuxue is going to work in the city, which will free up a spot, so it's a good thing."

"Just watch, they'll probably fight tooth and nail for this one spot again."

"What's there to argue about? If Chuxue gives up her spot, then let the person who came in third place take it. What's there to say?"

Within half a day, the news that Chu Xue had gone to work in the city spread throughout Willow Village.
