Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Early the next morning, Ye Zhiqiu went to the factory to ask for leave before returning to take Ye Liushi to buy food.

After running back and forth until she was out of breath, she realized that the family needed a bicycle, and she should buy it now while she didn't need a ticket, because she would need a ticket for everything in the future. So Ye Liushi bought food for the house, and she took her to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bunch of daily necessities, all kinds of things, regardless of whether they were needed or not, she bought them first.

Regina Ip was terrified to see her spending money, and when she saw that she wanted to buy a bicycle, she was so scared that she grabbed her and said, "Where did you get so much money? What kind of job do you do in the city?"

It's not that she is ignorant, but there is only one industry in which women make the most money from ancient times to the present. She doesn't care what Ye Zhiqiu does, but he must not learn bad things, and he must not ruin the reputation of the Ye family.

Besides her, the Ye family has other daughters, and she also has a granddaughter, who will marry into a good family in the future.

Ye Zhiqiu knew this would happen, but luckily she was prepared. She took out her work permit to prove that she really relied on her salary to make a living. Unfortunately, Ye Liushi was still skeptical. Which factory was so stupid as to hire a person who knew nothing as the director? Was this director more powerful than the village chief?

"I'll take you to the factory this afternoon, and you'll believe what I say after you see it." Hearing is believing, and seeing is believing. Ye Zhiqiu believes that Ye Liushi will accept the reality. For now, it's better to ride the bicycle home, so that it can save some effort when going to work in the future. When Ye Yuan enters junior high school, let her ride to school.

If she wasn't afraid that they would be too eye-catching, she would have wanted to buy two. With three people in the family, two bicycles were not too much. But bicycles are still rare, so she gave up.

After lunch, Ye Liushi forced Ye Zhiqiu to go to the factory without even clearing the bowl. She had to find out everything clearly, and it would be best if the factory director could come out to testify.

"You don't even know the factory manager, so even if you call him out, you won't know if it's true or not."

Ye Liu slapped her head and said, "I don't know the factory director, but someone else in your factory must know him. I can just ask anyone and we'll know if it's true or not."

What else could Ye Zhiqiu say? He could only ride his bicycle to take Ye Liushi to the factory. She arrived a little early, before the afternoon working hours. The security guard asked her to go in, but she shook her head.

The Finance Department is very important. She never goes into the office early. Even if she has the key, she will wait until the second person arrives before opening the door. She is never the last one to leave after get off work, just to avoid being wrongly accused. It would be a waste if the cashier says that there is less money one day.

The mother and daughter were waiting at the factory gate. There were many workers working in the factory. Those who knew Ye Zhiqiu or not took the initiative to greet him. He was the God of Wealth in the factory and they dared not offend him.

Mrs. Ye Liu looked at the people coming and going, and she began to believe that Ye Zhiqiu had not lied to her. However, why did such a large factory hire her to be the director? She wondered if other people in the family could also come to the factory to work as workers.

It would be best to be a temporary worker, farm at home during the busy farming season, and work in a factory during the slack farming season. Such a good opportunity cannot be missed.

Ye Zhiqiu was speechless. The old lady was more thoughtful than her. It was a pity that the factory did not want temporary workers. This was a key enterprise in Haicheng. In addition to being literate, the workers also had to pass a political review.

The Ye family did not meet any of the requirements. If she did not have a relationship with Li Fang, she would not be able to get in. She knew her own affairs, and in fact, she had some unexplainable flaws, but with Li Fang's guarantee and her past merits, no one would pursue those trivial matters.

After all, she just went from a country girl to a college student. This is not uncommon. This is an era of progress. There are also people who did not graduate from primary school but went to college. There are so many extraordinary people that her progress is not worth mentioning.

"Why not? We just know each other. There are literacy classes in the village. Your brother and your brother have all taken them."

"It's useless to be literate. The land you were allocated after entering the factory will be taken back. Are you willing to do that?" Ye Zhiqiu didn't believe that Ye Liushi was willing to give up the land she had just obtained. To the rural areas, land was more important than factories.

As expected, when Mrs. Yeh heard that the land was to be returned, she immediately shook her head and said, "That won't work. Without the land, how can we eat? Who knows how long this factory can last?"

"Why don't you go back and ask them. If they really want to work in the factory, even if ours isn't an option, they can still try other factories." If you want to find a job, you have to do it now. In a year or two, it won't be so easy to find one.

"Director Ye, you are not asking for leave, so why are you standing at the factory gate?" When the factory director saw Ye Zhiqiu, he immediately stopped his bicycle and asked while supporting the bicycle with one foot.

"Director, my mother came from the countryside and insisted on seeing where I work. I can't take her to the factory area, but taking her to the factory gate will also count as a visit."

"Okay, you can leave early after you finish reading." The factory director did not make an exception because of Ye Zhiqiu. Outsiders were not allowed to enter the factory area casually. If he made an exception today, there would be special circumstances tomorrow. Sooner or later, the rules would become a dead letter.

When the factory director questioned her, Ye Liushi didn't even dare to say a word. As expected, he was the director of a large factory and had more imposing manner than the village chief. And his clothes had four pockets, with pens stuck in the pockets. He looked even more impressive than the cadres from the county.

Only then did she believe what Ye Zhiqiu said. It was fine as long as she had a proper job. It didn't matter how much she earned, as long as she didn't do anything bad. There was still a lot of work to do at home, so she had to go back early.

A group of strong young men were pushing a wheelbarrow, which was piled with food. Ye Zhiqiu insisted that Ye Liushi take some daily necessities back home, which would be good gifts even if they were not needed at home.

Ye Liushi refused several times, but finally accepted it reluctantly. She accepted it because she saw that Ye Zhiqiu was rich, spent money lavishly, and didn't know how to save money.

Take these things home. If Ye Zhiqiu has a hard time in the city in the future, his son and daughter-in-law will help him out for the sake of the things. As for the Zhang family, that is always a troublesome matter. If they come to the door one day, his son will be asked to help.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't know that Ye Liushi was thinking so much. After sending the man away, she lived her life as usual. She went to work when it was time to go to work, researched food after get off work, and took the two children out for a walk on weekends.

The children were still young, so she could still carry them by herself on the bicycle. But after two years, she wouldn't have the physical strength to do so, as the bicycle was too small to carry two big children.

When Ye Liushi returned to the village with the grain, it caused a sensation. Everyone asked her where she bought the grain and where the money came from. Needless to say, she would not tell anyone about these things. Fortunately, she went back to her natal village first and then to Jinshui Village.

There were so many people asking for more food than just two sacks of food. If there were more, they would stop her from even entering the house. She didn't care who was asking the question, she just yelled at the top of her lungs, and while yelling she didn't forget to shout for her family to come out and carry the food, or else it would be snatched away by others.

If there was any movement in the village, the whole village would know about it immediately. Not to mention the commotion caused by Mrs. Ye Liu, everyone was more curious about the other good things she brought back than the two bags of grain.
