Gong Linglong ran out with a smile, opened the door and shouted excitedly: "Brother Jing, I passed. I will officially go to work tomorrow."
Lu Jingchuan stood outside for more than half an hour, his body as straight as a javelin, and the sound insulation effect of the room was very average. He heard clearly what she said in the previous interview in the room, and he was sure of it at that time.
"Comrade Gong Linglong, congratulations." Lu Jingchuan smiled.
Gong Linglong smiled so hard that her eyebrows curled up, and she was a little excited at this time. She picked up her bag and couldn't wait to say: "Let's go and report the good news to my dear mother and respected mother-in-law."
"Okay, let's go."
Lu Jingchuan was happier than her and very proud of her.
Others who were still waiting for their results saw that she had been admitted, and they were all envious. Now that she had taken one of the places first, there were only two left, and the others instantly became more nervous.
The couple first went to the post and telecommunications office and called Zhou Lanqin's office.
Zhou Lanqin was extremely happy when she received a call from her daughter-in-law. She learned that she had found a job and had just passed the examination of the civil affairs department. She praised her for a while on the phone.
Phone bills are extremely expensive these days. Gong Linglong talked to her mother-in-law for five minutes, and Lu Jingchuan took the phone and chatted for another two minutes.
After calling her mother-in-law, Gong Linglong called Zhou Lanping again. She had corresponded with her aunt since arriving in Seoul, but this was the first time she called her.
After the phone call, the two went to the nursing home together.
After hearing the announcement from the communication room, Bai Narcissus asked for five minutes' leave from the old leaders and hurried to the door. When she saw them, she asked loudly: "Linglong, have you passed?"
"Mom, it's passed. I will officially go to work tomorrow."
Bai Narcissus ran to them, took the notice in her daughter's hand and looked at it with a smile on her face: "Linglong, congratulations."
After saying that, he took out five yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand, "I'm busy here and can't spare time to accompany you. You and Jingchuan go to the state-owned store to buy some candies, and then go to the meat factory. Buy some meat and go home to celebrate."
Lu Jingchuan responded: "Mom, go ahead and do your work. Let's go shopping now and catch the morning train back to the army."
"Go, go. I'll be back on Sunday. You're busy with your own work, so don't come to pick me up."
Watching the two of them leave, Bai Narcissus ran back to work. As soon as she arrived in the room, she thanked the old leader who told her the news.
The couple returned to the family home and learned that Gong Linglong had gone to the city and found a job. It was a golden rice bowl job in the civil affairs department. A group of military wives were extremely envious.
"Deputy Commander Lu's family, you know the news about the recruitment of workers by the civil affairs department, why didn't you inform us? It's such a rare opportunity, we should give it a try." A family member of the Third Regiment was so sore that his teeth dropped.
Gong Linglong knew that they were jealous. She had a golden rice bowl job in a government department, which was more dignified than an iron rice bowl job like a state-owned factory. They could understand their jealousy.
Although the other party's words were a bit provocative, she was in a good mood today and didn't bother to argue with her. She explained: "My mother found out about this job opportunity for me. There are educational requirements, and the minimum is a high school diploma. I want to go to the family home." I’m the only one in high school, so I didn’t tell everyone.”
"It turns out you need a high school degree."
Liao Qiuhua was also envious and wanted to ask Gong Linglong to recommend him, but he stopped thinking after hearing this condition.
"A high school degree is the starting point, and only three people are recruited."
Lu Jingchuan was handing out candies to everyone, and then he answered: "There is only one hour to register, and there are forty or fifty people who have signed up. We will first arrange a one-hour cultural course exam, and then the leaders will conduct an on-site interview and ask a lot of questions." The problem is that you have to calculate the accounts in person and mentally, and you have to be in good health and strong. The assessment for joining the army is much stricter than when we joined the army."
A group of military wives were all shocked: "So complicated?"
"Well, the cultural course exam was not bad. It only tested knowledge from high school textbooks. The most difficult part was the interview."
Gong Linglong responded cooperatively, pretending to have just calmed down, and introduced with a somewhat exaggerated expression: "The interview was in a large office. I sat on the bench below, and the five big leaders above took turns raising questions. Question. When I was answering, they were recording it. I was so nervous that my tongue was tied, and I broke out in a cold sweat after the assessment."
Lu Jingchuan: "..."
She answered easily, clearly and eloquently, with her usual tone of voice, and he didn't hear any trace of nervousness.
"Also, after I asked the questions, the leader asked me to lift a big table to see if I had enough strength. Fortunately, I grew up in a rural area and have a lot of strength, otherwise I would really be in trouble today."
"After moving the table, I was given such a thick statistical material and asked to do mental calculations on the spot. I couldn't use an abacus. I had to complete the calculations in half an hour. If I didn't finish the calculations or made mistakes, I would be disqualified."
After she finished speaking, the family member who had the sore teeth before said humbly: "So it's so difficult. No wonder this golden rice bowl is inlaid with gold. It's really not something ordinary people can get."
"According to what Linglong just said, my old Zhao may not be able to pass even if he goes there." Yu Ximei said.
Lu Jingchuan's eyes were smiling, and he followed the words: "I have read their test papers before and listened to the interview assessment questions of the leaders. I guess I can barely reach the passing mark if I take part."
Gong Linglong: "..."
Her man is really awesome.
Lu Jingchuan is the youngest and most promising deputy commander of the Seoul Military Region. He has a high school degree and not to mention military achievements. Now that even he has barely passed the exam, the sour feeling in the hearts of military wives is completely gone.
"Sister Linglong, you have gone to work in the city now and are much better informed than us. If you encounter any news about recruitment in the future, please let us know." There is a military wife in the second regiment who is very thoughtful and polite. very.
Regarding this matter, Gong Linglong responded without saying a word: "Sister-in-law, we are all military wives and we are a family. If there are suitable job opportunities in the future, I promise to inform you as soon as possible."
Everyone felt relieved after listening to her words. Regardless of whether there would be any job opportunities in the future, it was enough for her to have this intention.
After chatting for a while, the two of them turned around and went home to cook lunch. As soon as they arrived home, they looked at each other and smiled.
Political Commissar Zhao came over after get off work at noon and asked about Gong Linglong's assessment process. When he got home, he urged the children to study hard and asked them to ask Gong Linglong for advice in the evenings and weekends if they didn't understand something in their studies.
Going to work tomorrow, Gong Linglong spent the afternoon weeding and loosening the soil in the vegetable garden. He also picked up pig manure and returned it to water fertilizer. He also spent some time planting all the new land in the space with grains and vegetables.
When Lu Jingchuan came back from get off work, the strong aroma was already wafting in the kitchen, and the glutton in his stomach suddenly awakened.
A bowl of attractively colored and sizzling pork belly, a braised carp, a stir-fried cabbage, two meat and one vegetable, the couple sat opposite each other, happily and sweetly enjoying the sumptuous dinner.
