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

Chapter 502 You Guessed It

Chu Xue sat up when she thought about being able to enter the railway compound.

To avoid arousing Ji Kunlan's suspicion later: "You're not afraid of the dark, are you? You want me to be your bodyguard?"

Ji Kunlan laughed: "You guessed that?"

Ji Kunlan did indeed have this thought: "Then do you want to come with me?"

Chu Xue naturally agreed: "Sure, let's go for a stroll."

She wanted to take a risk and see if Jiang Huiwen had any clues about her father's background.

The two went out and took a bus directly to the railway compound. Looking at the darkening sky outside the window, Chu Xue wondered how she could act alone for a while after entering the compound.

To her surprise, after entering the railway compound, Ji Kunlan walked in the direction of the Wang family's house.

As luck would have it, Xiao Wanxia's family home happened to be not far from the Wang family's.

Ji Kunlan was unaware of what had happened to the Wang family and did not notice the change in Chu Xue's expression.

When the two arrived at the Xiao family's house, the front door was open.

Ji Kunlan stood at the front door: "Second sister-in-law, are you home?"

Someone came out from the main house: "Who is it?"

Upon hearing the question, Ji Kunlan replied, "Auntie, it's me, Kunlan."

The woman who came out looked to be in her early forties, but her hair was completely white: "Oh, Kunlan, you've come to see Yaoyang?"

"Yes, a few days ago my mom found someone to exchange some milk powder coupons and had them brought over. I thought I hadn't seen Yaoyang in a long time, so I thought I'd come over for a visit."

"Then you'll have to wait a bit. Your second sister-in-law took him out for a walk to digest his food."

"It's okay, I'll be fine in a bit."

"Who is this?" "This is Liu Chuxue, she shares a dorm room with me."

Liu Chuxue smiled and nodded at the woman: "Hello, Auntie."

"Oh my, this girl is really pretty. Come on in and have a seat."

Ji Kunlan waved her hand and said, "Auntie, just sit in the yard, it's cool outside."

Clearly, Xiao's mother was quite familiar with Ji Kunlan. Hearing Ji Kunlan say this, she didn't insist anymore: "That's fine then. You sit down, I'll go cut some watermelon for you."

Seeing the person enter the kitchen, Ji Kunlan whispered, "This is my second sister-in-law's mother."

As the two were talking, Xiao's mother brought over a slice of watermelon: "Try it quickly, I've been soaking this watermelon in the bucket for a while."

Ji Kunlan, fearing that Chu Xue would feel embarrassed, handed her a piece: "It hasn't rained for more than half a month now, and it's not even very cool at night."

Mother Xiao smiled and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days, followed by the Autumn Equinox. It won't be hot for more than a few days."

At this moment, Ji Kunlan thought of something: "When I went to the logistics department to pick up some things today, I heard them say that the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits can be brought into the factory tomorrow, and maybe I can get them after get off work tomorrow."

Xiao's mother looked at her with a smile: "It's the same old stuff every year, nothing new."

Ji Kunlan finished the watermelon in her hand: "I heard that there are more varieties of fruit this year than in previous years."

Chu Xue asked curiously, "What did you usually give out for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Ji Kunlan was also receiving it for the first time, but her second sister-in-law had been working at the steel rolling mill for several years and knew it very well: "It is distributed according to seniority and grade. The benefits for regular employees and temporary employees are different. The types are similar, but the difference is in the quantity."

Even regular employees are divided into three tiers: factory leaders and those at level six or above are in tier one; those at level three or above are in tier two; and everyone else is in tier three.

Chu Xue asked with a look of curiosity, "So, which category do we fall into?"

Ji Kunlan laughed: "We newly hired office staff will receive benefits at the middle level."

As the group was talking, they heard a child's voice coming from the front door: "Grandma, Mom and I are back."
