Chapter 422: I'll Just Lie Down for Two Days

Jia Dongxu was silent for a long time after hearing these words. Qin Huairu knew it was time for her to interrupt, otherwise her husband might not be able to get over the difficulty today.

"How about I go to the street office tomorrow and look for Zhang Xingwang to see if I can find some work to do."

Jia Zhang stared at Qin Huairu for a long time, then replied quietly:

"I think the matter of Yi Zhonghai's family was instigated by this chatterbox. Why are you going there like this? What if that person with a bad brain has bad intentions towards you?"

Jia Dongxu was speechless at this moment. He didn't understand what my mother was doing. She shouldn't be so paranoid, right? He interrupted helplessly and said:

"Huai Ru is not that kind of person. That chatterbox already has a boyfriend. Mom, I'm afraid you are not thoughtful enough to say that."

The soles of Jia Zhang's shoes, which had just calmed down, were irritated by Jia Dongxu again. She jumped over with the shoes in her hand and started beating him, saying that her son was stupid, that he could not do his job but only knew how to pick on his mother, and that he didn't even keep an eye on his own wife.

Jia Dongxu spent more than ten minutes and called out "mother" forty times before he succeeded in calling back Jia Zhang's maternal love. However, the matter of going to the street office to paste matchboxes was also put on hold. There was no other way. Now the priority for paste matchboxes was given to poor families, with an average monthly income of less than five yuan per person. Obviously, the Jia family was not included in this list.

The whole family could only start thinking of ways to deal with Yi Zhonghai. Jia Dongxu still had feelings for Yi Zhonghai. After all, Yi Zhonghai had thousands of calculations and ideas about others, but to Jia Dongxu, he was really like his biological father. It could be said that he spared no effort to help him, and accommodating Jia Zhang was also for his own sake.

There were some things that Jia Dongxu had kept in his heart and had never said. Yi Zhonghai was not plotting against him to support him in his old age as Jia Zhang said, but he had made it clear the next day after he became their disciple.

He implied that they watched me grow up and thought I was reliable, and asked me if I minded having more elders.

I am not stupid. On one hand, there is the burden of supporting a family, and on the other hand, there is the olive branch of a senior craftsman, plus the property and daily assistance a hundred years later. This is not a multiple-choice question at all.

Jia Dongxu almost knelt down and called him godfather, but Yi Zhonghai didn't agree after thinking about Jia Zhangshi. Later, with the help of Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu became the most promising one in the courtyard. The cooperation between the master and the apprentice can only be described as a perfect match. But the good times didn't last long, and were ruined by the sickly girl in the backyard...

Jia Dongxu felt something was not right after the exam today. Although his master did not say anything harsh, his disappointment was written all over his face. Jia Dongxu also knew that his master had a hard time recently and was counting on him to be proud after the upgrade, but he was beaten to a pulp by Liu Haizhong...

Although Director Wang likes to add burdens to people, he is still trustworthy. Zhang Xingwang was called to the office early the next morning. Looking at the drawn curtains, Zhang Xingwang knew that this was a safe thing.

"Xingwang, I did my best this time, but you know the current situation. Each position is assigned to a specific job. We have been merged into the commune, so there are really no other positions except purchasing."

Zhang Xingwang frowned, thinking that purchasing was not bad, and his short-legged partner was used to being wild, and he could also go out to work and go around so that she wouldn't be idle and always want to run to the Third Aunt's place. Although he wanted to, Director Wang had to pretend, so that the other party wouldn't take the opportunity to ask Bai Xiaoya about her talent, which would be nonsense. Then he smiled bitterly and replied:

"Aunt Wang, are you and your wife doing procurement together? If something goes wrong, won't they be taken away in one go? I may be a bit stupid, but Xiaoya is innocent. Is there a less stressful and easier position with a lower salary? I'm afraid Aunt Liu will come over overnight to challenge me if she finds out. What should I do?"

"It's good enough to have it, but you're still nitpicking. I'm an experienced person, so you have to listen to me. You know the saying that the longer the night, the more dreams you have. No matter what kind of job it is, you have to get Xiaoya to come and get married first. Apart from sending the wild boar tomorrow, don't think too much about other things for now.

I know your abilities, and I'm not a rigid person. It's not wrong for a married couple to go fishing occasionally. I heard that Xiaoya grew up in the mountains, so she's probably a good hunter. You two can do it first, and then you can move when there's a chance..."

"What if Aunt Liu comes? You know my future mother-in-law. I can't get a word in at all when she talks."

"Don't worry, Liu Jiaque is not that kind of person. Now we are new people, new things, and a new country. How can she interfere with your freedom of marriage? At most, she will scold you for a day or two. Even if she hits you, it won't be a big deal. Anyway, you are thick-skinned now, so the worst that can happen is that you just lie down for two days..."

Director Wang had probably rehearsed it long ago, and his words were very logical. He seemed impatient and asked him to return to the village overnight, lest the wild boar run away. Zhang Xingwang rolled his eyes helplessly, thinking that he had to talk to Director Qi about this matter again.

As a result, he was greeted by a middle-aged man as soon as he went out. He was standing at the door with a smile on his face. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time. He greeted him with a flattering look.

"Hello, Section Chief Zhang. Director Wang asked me to come and report to you. From now on, I will be a member of the Civil Affairs Department. Section Chief, please give me more guidance in the future."

Zhang Xingwang stopped and looked at the man in front of him. He was a little familiar with the man who spoke slickly but had a simple face. He was stunned for a moment and replied in surprise:

"Are you Brother Guo, the purchasing manager? Are you here to report to me? Let's go together first, and we can talk while we walk."

The man surnamed Guo chuckled and said as he followed Zhang Xingwang back:

"I've finally made it this time. You know me. I used to go around shopping in fear all day long. Yesterday, when I got off work, the director called me back and told me to hand in my job and transfer me to another position. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night..."

Zhang Xingwang rolled his eyes when he heard this, turned his head towards Director Wang's office and took a few deep breaths before calming down. It turned out that Aunt Wang was planning to make the couple work like slaves for her.

After hurriedly settling the newcomer Brother Guo, he turned around and knocked on Director Qi's door. Looking at Director Qi who also had a sad face, Zhang Xingwang wondered whether this good brother had also been tricked by Director Wang.

"Brother Qi, let me tell you, Director Wang forcibly changed my position from purchasing to a new one..."

Director Qi waved his hands and replied with a smile:

"Don't say any more. I know everything. Sister Wang is determined to tie you to the purchasing department this time. But you don't know that at the meeting yesterday, she directly nominated you as the deputy director of logistics and said that you would be recommended for the salary of a section chief by the end of the year. The secretary asked in confusion, and this person almost slammed the table. It's just that the secretary has a good temper."

Zhang Xingwang's face darkened when he heard this, and he quickly asked:

"It's not enough to just do the purchasing. She actually wants me to take over the entire logistics? I'm from the Civil Affairs Department. Brother Qi, you must have refuted her, so she didn't succeed."
