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

Chapter 349: Don't go out and show off before the results are in.

Mr. Liu's face was full of pride, but he remained very modest in his words.

After exchanging pleasantries, Deputy Factory Director Gu got down to business: "I came here today for three reasons: first, to thank Chuxue; second, to familiarize myself with the place; and third, to deliver a message to Chuxue."

Chu Xue was initially puzzled, but when she saw the smile on Li Xiaoya's face, she suddenly understood.

Sure enough, Deputy Factory Director Gu said, "Our steel rolling mill will have a recruitment exam next week. Chu Xue is a high school graduate and meets the recruitment requirements."

Chu Xue wasn't stupid. Even in the county, factories had all sorts of rules and regulations for hiring: "I have a rural household registration, can I still take the exam?"

Li Xiaoya directly explained to her, "Normally it wouldn't work, but the factory leaders will have one recommendation slot. As long as you meet the other requirements, you'll be fine. Once you pass the exam, your household registration will naturally be transferred to the factory, and your household registration won't be a problem."

Mr. and Mrs. Liu were surprised by this good news, but remembering that their daughter had just received a spot in the village primary school a few days ago, they both looked at Chu Xue.

Chu Xue naturally understood what they meant: "Since Uncle Gu has given me the opportunity, I will definitely give it a try."

Upon hearing her words, Deputy Factory Director Gu nodded and said, "This opportunity is indeed rare. As long as you pass the exam, you can become a full-time employee immediately after the three-month probation period."

Chu Xue agreed for her own reasons. Only by getting away from Liu's parents and the villagers could she make good use of the space to improve her family's life. If she worked at the village school, she would have to rack her brains to get things out.

Deputy Factory Director Gu and his team did not stay long, as it would take more than an hour to get back to the city, and driving at night was not safe.

The first snow didn't let anyone leave empty-handed. She picked a lot of vegetables grown by her family from their private plot, as well as melons and watermelons to take with her. This made Gu Qianshan very happy: "Auntie's melons are delicious."

Chu Xue pinched his little face: "If you like it, come to Auntie's house again next time."

When they came out, there were quite a few people standing around the jeep: "The first snow in Shanliang family is really lucky, it actually hit the jackpot with a big leader in the city." "Sigh, they're out, they're out."

Although they love gossip, they stepped aside when they saw someone approaching.

Only after the Gu family got into the car and left did they gather around and ask, "Chuxue, what does that big leader do?"

Just as Chuxue was about to say something, she heard Liu's mother say, "How can we tell them what they do? A few days ago, Chuxue helped their grandson, and they came over to thank us."

Someone in the crowd asked, "I heard they brought quite a few thank-you gifts."

This time, Liu's mother didn't hide anything: "Indeed, she brought quite a lot of things over."

She didn't say exactly what she mentioned.

She learned this from her second daughter. Since everyone already knows, there's no need to hide it. It will give the family a good reason to improve their living conditions in the future, so as to avoid being gossiped about.

When they got home, Liu's father asked, "Chuxue, if you really get accepted, what will happen to your job at the village school?"

Chu Xue smiled and said, "If you really pass the exam, just tell the village officials the truth. Working in a state-owned factory is definitely better than going to a village school. People always want to improve their lives, and they will understand."

At this moment, Liu's mother chimed in, "Let's talk about it after you pass the exam. Didn't you hear what Deputy Factory Director Gu said? He can only provide opportunities, but Chuxue has to take the exam herself. If she doesn't pass, even he, as the deputy factory director, can't do anything about it."

So don't go out and show off before the results are in.
