Zhao Chunhua is more than three months pregnant, which is a critical time.
Liu Yufeng asked her to do the laundry and cooking at home so that she no longer had to work. At worst, she would let her boss do more. The road outside is too slippery. If you accidentally fall, something serious will happen.
How cold!
Liu Yufeng couldn't help but shudder as soon as she went out. It was not yet dawn and everything was gray. The breath she breathed turned into white mist, and it took a long time to disappear.
All the villagers went to the warehouse to get farm tools, then stood in the drying field and shouted quotations, and finally obeyed the captain's arrangements for farm work.
Now that winter has not passed, there is no need to go to the fields to farm. In order to comply with the leader's instructions, the captain arranged for them to build roads. The leader said when he came last time that the road from their village to the county was in bad condition, with potholes everywhere.
Even if everyone had complaints in their hearts, they couldn't express them. They all stood at the designated place. Some were carrying stones, while others were paving the way. After a while, they were sweating profusely.
When I went back for lunch at noon, I heard that there was a commotion at the Educated Youth Point because of the quota for returning to the city. I heard that the factory is expanding its recruitment, and there is still one spot left to be selected from the educated youth of the Da'an production team.
There are only two ways for educated youth to return to the city. One is to find a job in the city, and the other is to be recommended by the Workers', Peasants and Military University. Jobs in the city are like a carrot or a pit. If the conditions at home are good, they can still operate, but if the conditions are average, they can only be envied. As for the university recommendation places, they were initially given to the poor, but later they all depended on connections.
Now there are ten educated youths, and there is only one quota. Everyone is busy trying to please Captain Zhao. Because how they perform is entirely up to the captain.
Zheng Jingwen wanted to go back, but she also knew that Captain Zhao would never say anything nice to her, and he might even slander her because of what happened to Fool Zhao.
It seems that there is no chance this time.
"Prepare carefully for the interview. The captain cannot cover the sky with just one hand." Liu Yufeng saw that her whole body was wilted and hurriedly comforted her.
The factory recruitment meeting will first take a face-to-face examination, and then learn the specific situation from the production team. Because when the educated youth leave, they need the signature of the production team, otherwise they will not be able to leave the county.
"Thank you godmother." Zheng Jingwen tried to cheer up.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the educated youth took the exam, and the results came out a week later. Zheng Jingwen came first in the exam. However, it was the second one, Su Mingli, who became a worker.
Captain Zhao did not say anything bad about Zheng Jingwen, but he told in detail what happened last year. After listening to the discussion for about ten minutes, the leaders finally decided to cross out Zheng Jingwen's name and change it to Su Mingli.
After the results came out, Zheng Jingwen went to Captain Zhao to ask for an explanation. The other party didn't hide anything and made it clear that the leader was concerned about being raped!
Zheng Jingwen felt like she was struck by lightning. She thought the incident was over, but unexpectedly it followed her like a nightmare. If the factory rejects her for this reason, will it mean that no matter how good she performs, she will never be able to return to the city?
Zheng Jingwen left with a pale face. The educated youth couldn't find her at night and hurried to Wang's house to look for her.
When Liu Yufeng heard that Zheng Jingwen was missing, she was afraid that she would not be able to think about it, so she hurriedly took a flashlight to look for her. From the woods to the river and anywhere else she might go.
She was finally found next to the reservoir. When she saw someone coming, Zheng Jingwen jumped from the shore.
With a pop, a huge splash rose from the water.
Liu Yufeng jumped in without thinking. The water in winter was very icy and her clothes were heavy. Even her heart would freeze, let alone swimming.
Even so, she still held on to him with all her strength.
People in the village also stretched out their hands to pull the two people ashore. Liu Yufeng was so cold that her teeth chattered. After returning home, she immediately boiled water to take a bath and drank a large bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold.
After Liu Yufeng finished drinking, she saw Zheng Jingwen sitting still, and hurriedly asked her to drink the soup quickly to avoid catching a cold and fever later.
"Auntie, why are you so nice to me?" Zheng Jingwen didn't understand why this rural woman helped her again and again.
"When I first saw you, I thought you looked a bit like Jianying."
"Jianying is braver than me."
"You are also very brave. Don't be afraid. The road is boundless. If you can't return to the city through recruitment, then keep waiting. You will always find the opportunity."
The chatter between the two continued until midnight.
The quiet night is dark, with floating light and mist.
Zheng Jingwen took leave the next day and did not go to work. Everyone was talking about it while they were building the road. Some people said that she was petty, and if she didn't recruit a good person this time, she wouldn't be able to do it next time, and she was looking for death. Some people mentioned what happened last year and said that she would never be able to go back in her life, so she might as well find someone to marry.
"Are you too busy?" Liu Yufeng asked with a stern face.
"Liu Yufeng, if you ask me, don't accept Zheng Zhiqing as your goddaughter. It would be great if you just let her marry the second child, and you can even kiss her, hahaha!"
"After all, I still dislike her for being slept with by a fool. Why are you pretending to be here?"
"In my opinion, your second son and Zheng Zhiqing are really talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven. Why are you hesitating?"
Several women from the Zhao family would criticize Liu Yufeng whenever they had the opportunity. They still resent Wang Jianan's rogue behavior. Because of him, Zhao Jiaojiao's reputation, which she finally recovered, became even worse.
Fortunately, these things only spread in the village. If this spread to a state-owned hotel, he might be fired.
"That's not possible. My second child is not worthy of someone as good as Zheng Zhiqing. She is beautiful, can work, is educated, and has a good temper. Although she was bitten by a dog, it is better than those who were not bitten by dogs but were not. The old woman who stopped the barking dog was much better.”
"Damn it, Liu Yufeng, what do you mean?"
"What do you think it means? Or do you want to fight with me? It just so happens that my hands are itchy recently." Liu Yufeng took out the famous kitchen knife and everyone stayed away from her silently.
Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, the willow trees bloomed with green buds, and the rapeseed flowers blooming in the fields were like a golden ocean, with no end or starting point in sight, flowing freely in the breeze.
In April, Wang Jianying came back and said that the county team was short of people, so Liu Yufeng immediately took Wang Jianan over for an interview.
Some time ago, Liu Yufeng taught her two sons to drive, using wood to drive. It's a pity that Wang Jianping can't learn it. He still prefers to do carpentry because he thinks driving is too dangerous.
Wang Jian'an is very courageous and dares to carry people even if it is his first time touching a car. The team leader was very satisfied and asked him to get the certificate quickly, otherwise he would not be able to get on the road.
The villagers originally looked down upon Wang Jianan because he was doing nothing all day long and was entangled with Zhao Jiaojiao. But regardless of the current fixed salary, he is still tall and thin, so he has become a hot cake.
The team was very busy, but the fuel level was high. Wang Jianan was sweet and coaxing, and he quickly became familiar with the team leader. Of course, his ultimate goal is not to be the team leader, but to deal with the Zhao family!
Wang Jianying met Wu Hongjun on his way home that day. Hearing that he was forced by his mother to go on a blind date, he smiled unkindly.
In May, Zhao Jiaojiao was taken in by the police for investigation because two patients who had been eating her pastries for a long time had recovered from the disease and were looking younger and younger, with their skin becoming fairer and tenderer.
After research, she found that there was a substance in her cakes. This substance could be used to treat diseases in small amounts, but in large amounts it was poison.
Zhao Jiaojiao said that the bracelet made her reborn, and confessed to Wu Hongjun, Wang Jianying, and Su Mingli. The Bureau of Investigation spared no one and arrested them all for interrogation. Only then did they learn that the three of them had the same dream, and the protagonist in the dream was Zhao Jiaojiao.
In the end, Zhao Jiaojiao's bracelet was taken off for research, and she either cooperated with the research or was put in jail to avoid talking nonsense.
Zhao Jiaojiao chose to join the research team, and the remaining three people could return to work, but they needed to be investigated regularly.
The current development is very different from the original plot, but Liu Yufeng's mission is not over because Wang Jian'an insists on running on the road of villain.
