On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 18 I Bet and Won a Job

Liu Jianguo...

This is it. Can you recite it backwards? From the middle?

"Little girl, are you serious?"

"Why should I lie to you?"

Jiang Tang was puzzled.

Didn't he make a bet with her to memorize the dictionary? She agreed, but he didn't believe it?
Jiang Tang frowned and looked at Liu Jianguo suspiciously, wondering if he was teasing her.

Liu Jianguo was shocked by Jiang Tang's expression and had a premonition that if he didn't let her carry him now, he might never be able to ask her to carry him again.

"Well, you follow my back first."

"Oh!"

Jiang Tang sat up straight, cleared his throat and began.

"Xinhua Dictionary."

"Revised and re-edited edition, 1971."

"Published by Commercial Press, reprinted by ** People's Publishing House, distributed by ** Province Xinhua Bookstore, printed by ** City People's Printing Factory, 787x1092 mm 1/64, 11 1/32 printing sheets 580 words, first edition revised in June 1971..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Seeing that Jiang Tang didn't hesitate at all, Liu Jianguo had to interrupt her.

Looking at Jiang Tang's attitude, he knew that this little girl was serious and was not joking.

She can really memorize a dictionary.

He reached out and took the covered dictionary from the table.

"I say the page number and you recite the content? Is that okay?"

"I can only recite up to page 200. I haven't read the rest yet." Jiang Tang didn't try to brag.

She can recite everything she has seen.

Liu Jianguo understood what she meant. While he was amazed, he still flipped through the dictionary and began to test her.

"Page 48..."

For the next period of time, Liu Jianguo kept testing Jiang Tang.

But no matter how he tested, Jiang Tang always had an answer.

Liu Jianguo became more and more excited and thrilled as he took the exam.

At last he simply closed the dictionary, clapped his hands and stood up, "OK, OK, OK, comrade, hello, on behalf of the Agricultural Machinery Station, I welcome you, welcome to join us."

Jiang Tang blinked. Could this be a job that pays for work?
"You're not going to recite it anymore?"

"No, no, no."

Liu Jianguo's tone was excited. If the other party was not a lesbian, he would have wanted to grab her hand and squeeze it hard to express his excitement.

Jiang Tang couldn't feel Liu Jianguo's excitement at all. "What kind of job are you going to give me? How much is it a month?"

"This job is easy to negotiate."

"Our agricultural machinery station is in need of an assistant station manager. The monthly salary is 32 yuan, ten kilograms of grain coupons, two kilograms of meat coupons, and half a kilogram of oil coupons."

"So little?"

Jiang Tang asked.

Liu Jianguo...

Is this rare?

He coughed and looked at Jiang Tang. "Well, I'll raise your salary to thirty-five a month. What do you think?"

He has no way to increase the value of the bill, after all, this is a national regulation.

The price can be increased by two or three yuan. The agricultural machinery station has this power.

Jiang Tang said "oh", and Liu Jianguo thought she looked down on this salary, so he immediately continued, "Although the salary and bills are fixed, if we complete the project and overcome difficulties, we will be rewarded."

"award?"

Jiang Tang was more interested in the reward, "What is the reward?"

"Money, tickets, or food, it could be anything."

"No meat?"

Liu Jianguo...

This girl is really good at making demands! How tight are meat tickets now? He thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and raised Jiang Tang's monthly meat ticket to three catties.

Jiang Tang still felt it was not enough.

Liu Jianguo, "Excuse me, do you have many family members?"

"Not much now, but definitely more in the future." Liu Jianguo...

Okay, just pretend he didn't ask.

"The salary at the agricultural machinery station can be increased. As the length of service increases, the salary will increase. Comrade, as long as you work hard, you will have endless meat to eat in the future."

Liu Jianguo made promises to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang nodded, but still had a question, "Is there a bus that can go to the agricultural machinery station?"

"Have."

"Oh, that's fine."

Jiang Tang's tone was indifferent, not at all like the joy he showed after getting a job.

Liu Jianguo was aroused by her curiosity and asked what her parents did.

"Did you come here with your parents to join the army?"

Her accent was from the south, so Liu Jianguo thought she had followed her parents into the army.

Jiang Tang shook his head, "Not my parents."

"I have someone."

Liu Jianguo...

Well, this girl looks young, but I didn’t expect that she already has a partner.

If she doesn't have a partner, then send her to school to be well trained. With her photographic memory, she will definitely be an extraordinary talent in the future.

Liu Jianguo loves talents. In his opinion, talents like Jiang Tang are rare in a century.

Therefore, even though she had no experience, he was willing to take her to the agricultural machinery station and let her become a staff member of the station.

As for the technology and stuff, we'll come to it later.

Let’s dig the person over first.

Just like that, Jiang Tang got a job.

Liu Jianguo asked her when she could go to work.

Jiang Tang thought about it seriously and said, "I want to finish reading the books in this library before going."

"Do you want to finish reading all these books?" Liu Jianguo looked around the library. There were at least a thousand books. How long would it take to finish reading them?

"How about this? You go to work first, and then spend an hour every afternoon reading? What do you think?"

Jiang Tang had never thought that she could do this, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was a good idea, so she agreed.

"it is good."

"Okay, then I'll leave you an address and you can go there at 8:30 tomorrow morning."

Liu Jianguo smiled and wrote down an address for Jiang Tang, telling her how to get there by bus from the town.

Jiang Tang remembered it.

"Go to the Agricultural Machinery Station tomorrow and ask for Station Master Liu."

Worried that Jiang Tang was young and had never been outside alone, Liu Jianguo gave him a few more instructions.

Jiang Tang nodded.

I silently thought that Liu Jianguo seemed to be quite good.

Liu Jianguo had to leave for something, so before leaving, he recommended a book he had read on mechanics to Jiang Tang, asking her to read it when she had time.

This will help her in her future work.

Jiang Tang agreed.

She left the library just as it was closing in the afternoon, holding two borrowed books on mechanics in her hands.

After get off work, Zhang Hongying cooked a meal and went to wait at the gate of the staff quarters. Finally, on the last bus from the city, she saw Jiang Tang coming back with a book in her arms.

She breathed a sigh of relief and walked over with a smile on her face.

"Aunt, you're back!"

Yaya smiled and ran over to hug Jiang Tang's legs. Jiang Tang rummaged through his schoolbag, took out a meat bun and handed it to Yaya.

Zhang Hongying was a little surprised and a little amused when she saw this. "Sister, why are you buying food for Yaya?"

"Reciprocity is reciprocated."

Jiang Tang thought about it and answered seriously, "I have to repay my sister-in-law for having dinner at her house."

"You……"

Zhang Hongying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why are you being so polite? Xiao Lu gave me money before he left, and my sister-in-law didn't cook for you in vain."

“That was hard, too.”
