Chapter 138 The Zhou family depends on you three daughters to keep the family going
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Xu Man took Chen Zhan Ning and Chen Xiao Wei to Chang'an to play again.
Watching the two kids standing on one leg, using their hands to bend the other leg into a triangle shape, with their knees facing outwards, attacking each other with their knees, fighting cocks without any image with Zhou Jiaguang, Dawa and others.

Xu Man smiled and said, "My mother wanted to train her two children to be gentlemen and ladies. If she saw them like this, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood."
Zhou Rong: "Children's childhood is only a few years long. If they don't have fun, when they grow up, they will have all kinds of troubles in life and won't even have a happy memory. How sad it is."
Xu Man: "I thought so too, so I didn't tell my mom what they played here. I just said that your children are very capable and can do everything. Zhan Ning and Xiao Wei like to be with them.
My mother was very happy to see that the two children had become more cheerful. I asked her to help Uncle Zhou and his friends arrange jobs, and she readily agreed and made sure it was done. "
Zhou Rong asked in surprise: "Really?"
Xu Man: "Well, Fan Zichuan, the deputy director of the meat processing factory, is a member of the labor union and the boss of the meat processing factory before it was nationalized. He has a good relationship with my father-in-law. My mother asked him to arrange a general worker position, and he agreed.
Uncle Zhou will go to the meat processing factory to find him tomorrow. He will take Uncle Zhou to report to the personnel department. The salary seems to be 30 yuan a month, with one day off a week, and gifts during festivals.
My mother owns a teahouse and a porcelain shop.
The teahouse is in need of errand runners, but there's a mixed crowd, mostly male customers, so it might be inconvenient for your sister-in-law to go to work.
After discussing with my mother, we can arrange her to do odd jobs in the porcelain shop, with a monthly salary of 20 yuan, including food and accommodation. There is a small kitchen at the back of the shop where she can bring her own food to heat up. The other clerks do the same. If you agree, she can go to work on the 16th of the first lunar month.
As for Miss Zhou, my cousin’s wife is in the embroidery business, but her shop is not hiring at the moment.
I went to see her yesterday and explained Miss Zhou's situation to her. My cousin's wife then said that if Miss Zhou had any embroidery works, she could take them to her for consignment.
If the store has a rush order, you can also ask Miss Zhou to embroider it for you. The remuneration is based on the simplicity of the embroidery and the embroidery work.”
Zhou Rong said gratefully, "Thank you so much! Can I talk to my parents about my work and then get back to you?"
Xu Man: "Okay, I'll go see Zhan Ning and the others."
Zhou Rong brought Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Xie Cuilian to his room, told them the content and salary of the job introduced by Xu Man, and asked for their opinions.
Father Zhou said happily: "We also have a meat processing plant in our county. I heard that the workers there are very arrogant. People from outside try to curry favor with them, hoping that they will save some good meat for them, or give them some bones and offal.
I never thought that I, Zhou Chuanmin, would be able to work in a meat processing factory one day. If the Zhou family's ancestors knew about this, they would probably be so happy that they would go have a few drinks with the King of Hell!"
Mother Zhou glared at Father Zhou and said angrily, "How unbelievable! Why are you mentioning the King of Hell on New Year's Day?"
Father Zhou smiled innocently and said, "I am just happy. I just said something wrong. Don't be angry."
Xie Cuilian counted on her fingers and said excitedly: "I make 20 a month, plus Jiahua's salary, we can save several million a year!
I have no objection to the job that Boss Xu introduced. I will thank her later!"
Mother Zhou took out a few coins and gave them to Xie Cuilian: "Boss Xu is such a good person, worrying about us so much.
Add a few dishes for lunch, and ask Sigui to go to the market and see what he can buy. We will express our gratitude first, and then express our gratitude properly after we get our salary."
Xie Cuilian: "Hey! I'll go right away!"
Zhou's mother agreed to let her do embroidery part-time at home, which could increase her income, take care of her grandchildren, do some housework, and reduce her daughter's burden.
In order to understand the embroidery market in Jiangcheng, Zhou's mother thanked Xu Man and asked for the address of the embroidery shop.
The next day, he dragged out the box from under Zhou Rong's bed, took off a small key from his neck, opened the box, and took out a picture of hundreds of children and grandchildren.
(Picture of Hundreds of Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren)
She had spent most of her time embroidering this, but she kept it because she couldn't sell it at a good price in Hong'an Township.
Zhou Rong looked at the vivid and dynamic picture and praised: "Mom, your embroidery is so vivid and ingenious, it will definitely sell for a high price!"
Zhou's mother smiled and said, "Life is hard now. Fewer and fewer people are buying this kind of embroidery that can't be eaten or drunk. You accompany your father to the meat processing factory, and Sigui and I will go to the embroidery shop."
Zhou Rong: "Okay, my mother's embroidery is finely stitched, with no visible seams, dazzling velvet colors, and vivid spirits. It's worth the high price. If no one knows the value of it, I'll keep it."
Zhou's mother asked with a smile: "Who did you learn these complimenting words from?"
Zhou Rong: "Of course I learned from my teachers! Our teachers at Night University are all knowledgeable and talented, and they are the pillars of our country. If I can learn a little bit from them, it will be useful for my whole life."
Mother Zhou: "Really? Then Sigui and Wucai must study hard and try to get into night college. They should learn some solid skills and use them for the rest of their lives no matter where they go in the future."
Zhou Rong: "They study very hard, so it's only a matter of time before they go to night college."
Mother Zhou: "Alas, my son can no longer be counted on. The Zhou family depends on you three daughters to keep the family going."
Zhou Rong: “…”
On the way to the meat processing factory, Zhou Rong bought two bottles of Fenjiu and a pack of Xinhua cigarettes.
Zhou's father knew that his daughter was going to give the money as a gift, so he said, "I didn't bring any money with me when I go back. Ask your mother to give it to you when you get back."
"it is good."
Every time I pushed it back and forth, I was tired. A large family lived together, and "brothers should settle accounts clearly" to maintain family harmony. Zhou's father offered to give money, and Zhou Rong did not refuse...
Fan Zichuan was an easygoing person. When Zhou Rong and his father met him, they introduced themselves and exchanged a few pleasantries. Zhou Rong handed over a gift: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Fan Zichuan smiled and said, "You don't have to do this. The Chen family and I have a long-standing friendship, and President Xue personally asked for it. I'm just an ordinary worker, so there's no need for such a heavy gift."
Zhou Rong: "Thank you and President Xue for your concern for my father's work. These cigarettes and alcohol are our small token of appreciation. My father has always lived in the countryside and is a little unaccustomed to the city. If there is anything that is not considerate in the factory, please take care of it, Director Fan."
Fan Zichuan: "That's easy. If you run into any problems at the factory, come to my office anytime. The factory is building a family quarters. If you work hard, I'll give you a house in the future."
Father Zhou: "Thank you, Director Fan!"
Thanks to Fan Zichuan's relationship, Zhou's father's employment went smoothly.
Zhou's father said he wanted to go back to his hometown to pack his luggage and come to work a few days later. The people in the personnel department said it was no problem.
Who would dare not give face to the deputy factory director who personally brought me here to start work? !
