Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Foolish Husband 29

The little silly one looked at his mother with admiration, saying, ”Mom, you’re amazing, you’ve defeated Aunt Bai again.”

Mrs. Chen proudly puffed out her chest, feeling triumphant as she said, ”That’s right, you should know what background your mother comes from. I’m from the military sisterhood.”

Mrs. Chen has a military background; before retiring, she was a deputy leader of the female soldiers’ group. Although she retired ten years ago, her skills make fighting an ordinary woman seem like child’s play.

The little silly one excitedly raised his big fist and waved it, ”Mom is mighty, Mom is mighty, I want to be like Mom in the future, driving away the bad guys.”

Aunt Bai calls him silly every time she sees him, but he’s not silly.

He’s very well-behaved and sensible, he’s not silly at all.

It’s Aunt Bai who’s bad, always scolding people.

Mrs. Chen looked at Yuan Chun, meeting her clear eyes, feeling deeply moved. She smiled and advised, ”Comrade Xiao Wei, don’t be in a hurry to go back yet. Our factory’s canteen is hiring temporary workers. Although asking a high school graduate like you to do vegetable washing and cutting might waste your talent, go try applying first. If you’re hired, there might be opportunities for other jobs later. As long as you’re educated, our factory won’t let talent go to waste.”

Others chimed in as well, ”That’s right, Comrade Xiao Wei, it would be such a waste for someone as delicate as you to go back home to farm. A few days in the sun would darken your face. Take our advice and go check out the canteen.”

”Comrade Xiao Wei, the head chef at the canteen is good friends with your brother. Whether the food is good there every day completely depends on your brother. If you apply at the canteen, the head chef will definitely let you work.”

”Indeed, in the steel plant canteens, the meats, fish, eggs, and chickens are all procured from the countryside by your brother. I heard he even encountered robberies a few times, but fortunately, he’s skilled at fighting. Otherwise, our canteen wouldn’t have such good meals.”

”And for the benefits the workers get during New Year and festivals, those are also procured by Purchaser Wei from out of town.”

”Purchaser Wei’s ability is the best in the purchasing department.”

”Comrade Xiao Wei, go check the canteen, you’ll surely get hired.”

”Ugh, having a high school graduate do vegetable washing and cutting is truly wasting talent. Those tasks can be done even by illiterate people.”

”Just let it be a temporary solution. Otherwise, Comrade Xiao Wei can’t stay in our residential area.”

”True, Zhao Dongxiu is really dark-hearted, just driving Comrade Xiao Wei away like that without fearing that a young girl might encounter danger on the road.”

”I’ve heard that recently, quite a few girls have gone missing in the city.”

”They must have been kidnapped by traffickers.”

”Comrade Xiao Wei, you better not return to your hometown yet. If you’re kidnapped on the way, you’ll regret it endlessly.”

”Comrade Xiao Wei, you have to decide quickly. Many people are applying for that job, and if you’re late, you’ll miss the chance.” Mrs. Chen urged her anxiously.

Having a legitimate reason to stay, Yuan Chun was eager.

She smiled and said, ”Thank you for the reminder, Aunt Chen. I’ll go apply at the canteen. Which dining hall is it?”

”It’s the first dining hall, I’ll lead you there.” Mrs. Chen cheerfully took her hand and walked ahead.

The little silly one trotted happily behind.

A few women who loved to watch the excitement followed along too.

Though Yuan Chun has delicate skin, she’s quick in working. The head chef let her wash a basin of vegetables, seeing her wash quickly and cleanly, he signed immediately, hiring her.
