I was a daigou in the 60s

Su Zhengan knew how difficult it was to get a job in a department store.

And Xiao Dongqing actually did it!

Unable to contain his excitement, he turned around abruptly and announced loudly to everyone in the warehouse:

"My brother-in-law got admitted to a department store! Xiao Dongqing got admitted to a department store! And he got first place!"

There was silence in the warehouse for a moment, and then there was a burst of exclamations.

"What? Xiao Dongqing really passed the exam?"

"This is a department store! It's amazing!"

"This kid is really promising. He just left the supply and marketing cooperative and in the blink of an eye he became an employee at a department store."

Su Zhengan said proudly.

"That's right, my brother-in-law has this ability!"

"This kid is amazing! Not everyone can get a stable job at a department store."

Su Zhengan answered proudly.

"Of course, you're envious!"

"Hey, you guy..." The colleagues around him also laughed.

Everyone was surprised and delighted.

"..." Xiao Dongqing stood there with a frown, his shoulder hurting from his brother's pat.

Although some people congratulated him, no one dared to approach him.

The young man was embarrassed, and the warehouse manager didn't know how to communicate with the new employee.

Therefore, after getting confirmation, everyone surrounded Su Zhengan.

I expressed my envy and congratulations to him, patted his shoulders and congratulated him with a smile.

Su Zhengan smiled innocently and looked like a big boy.

In this era where news spreads fast.

Soon, the entire textile factory knew the news that Xiao Dongqing had been admitted to Nantong No. 1 Department Store!

Being able to work at the First Department Store not only means having stable job security.

Moreover, the welfare benefits of this company are far better than those of other places!

After all, who can ignore its impact on material supply!

People in the family quarters were extremely envious.

"Dongqing has been different since he was a child."

"He was playing while others were studying hard, but he still managed to get into high school!"

"Exactly! This proves how smart he is!"

"Others may not be able to get into such a good unit after three years of hard work, but Dongqing can do it with only a junior high school education."

"Oh, that's what you're talking about!"

"Dongqing passed the advanced placement test and already got a high school diploma!"

"He also took the college entrance examination recently. Have you forgotten?"

"Is this true? Did he really get his diploma?"

"This is what Yang Xueqin told me privately. She and Su Zhilan have a good relationship, as you know!"

"Hey, this, this! Why didn't Su Zhilan tell us? She's really hiding it!"

"Who would have thought he would be so lucky to get a stable job at a department store on the first try?"

"If my son could be like Holly, I would laugh in my dreams at night!"

As they chatted, people began to compare Xiao Dongqing with Xu Chunfang.

These two children have been compared since they were young.

"So, Deputy Director Xu's daughter is just lucky."

"The parents are capable, but she herself is not as capable as Holly!"

"Indeed! Holly has already started earning money, but that girl is still spending her parents' money!"

"But I'm lucky, haha!"

When Xu Chunfang heard these words, she was so angry that she burst into tears at home.

"Mom! It's all my dad's fault! If he had let me take the college entrance exam, I would have gotten my diploma too!"

"Maybe he can even get a job in a department store! Where would Xiao Dongqing have a chance to show off!"

Wei Xiumei wiped the tears of her daughter lying on the sofa with concern.

He was actually feeling unbalanced, and his face turned slightly pale.

He coughed twice and spoke in a gentle but firm voice.

"Chunfang, don't bother with her. We don't care about that kind of thing."

"With a high school diploma, your grandfather can always help you out."

"But you have to remember that your goal is to go to university, and you will become a government official after graduation."

"And she might just be a peddler her whole life, how can she compare to you?"

"We must have higher aspirations. In the future, you will understand that these little things are not worth mentioning at all."

After Xiao Dongqing finished speaking, he coughed a few more times.

Whether they were familiar or unfamiliar neighbors, they all greeted the Su family warmly when they saw them.

Many people looked at Xiao Dongqing curiously.

"Zhilan, where are you going?"

Su Zhilan's excitement had not yet subsided, and she answered without concealing her joy:

"Yes, my Holly just recently got a job at a department store."

"He's been busy preparing for the exam lately, let's take him out for a nice meal to celebrate!"

Everyone around them felt a little uncomfortable, as they had really come out on top this time.

Look at Su Zhilan, she seems to be more confident when speaking.

"The old people are probably back home. Why didn't you invite them to join in the fun for such a great occasion?"

The person who asked this question was not unintentional, she was deliberately trying to embarrass Su Zhilan.

Su Zhilan glared at the man quietly, but with a smile still on her face, she responded generously:

"Please! The old man was unwell and couldn't come out."

"Next time I'll cook a delicious meal at home to honor them, so you won't have to worry about it, Aunt Ying!"

Aunt Ying's expression changed slightly.

"Oh, I'm just asking casually, don't mind."

Having said that, he quietly left the crowd.

After she left, Su Zhilan snorted coldly.

I hate people like this who love to find fault the most!

After this scene, no one disturbed Su Zhilan's good mood anymore.

After all, today is her husband's big day, who wants to be the bad guy!

Others were just busy congratulating and celebrating.

Then the family chatted and laughed, and finally arrived at the state-owned restaurant in the south city.

Xiao Dongqing and his family sat down in the restaurant. The waiter came forward to serve them and everyone started ordering.

Xiao Dongqing stared at the menu with a gleam in his eyes.

It had been a long time since he had enjoyed delicious food so comfortably.

Everyone else seemed very excited, including Su Zhengan and Su Wenlan.

After all, the last time the whole family went out to eat together was last year.

"Wife, let's order some braised lion's head." Xiao Dongqing couldn't help but suggest.

"Okay." Su Zhilan agreed with a smile.

People around.

"..."

As the hero of the family, Xiao Dongqing was not stingy this time and ordered several dishes at once.

"Why save money? You might not be able to eat it again if you want to in the future."

Xiao Dongqing thought that the family might become even more financially strapped in the coming years, so he made sure everyone enjoyed the meal this time.

Su Zhilan was in a particularly good mood today, even though the expenses were quite high.

There was no hesitation when he handed the waiter a thick stack of bills.

Soon after, the dishes were served one after another, and the aroma filled the air.

The chef's cooking skills are as good as ever and every dish is mouth-watering.

The table was filled with sumptuous dishes: braised lion's head and braised fish.

Stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried cabbage with pork slices, boiled radish, a big bowl of egg drop soup and a bowl of white rice.
