Chapter 230 Hometown (6)
Jin Gui waved his hand.
"The matter hasn't been resolved yet! Don't thank me in time."
Jin Gui took a sip of wine.
"Fifteen years old, the same age as my Xiaofeng. She's a girl, so she can work as a sales clerk in a department store. It's a leisurely and respectable job."
At that time, the department store was the only store in the county town that sold daily necessities. On market days, it was packed with people. To buy in-demand items, you had to find someone you knew and pull strings. It was indeed a respectable and leisurely job.
Jin Gui's youngest daughter works there.
Su Jinru: "Can we go to other companies? Too many people want to work at the department store. Let's not join that crowd. As long as we have a stable job, we don't need to go to such a good company."
Jin Gui understood the implication in Su Jinru's words.
What kind of organization do you want to work for?
"If you have a choice, it's best to go to the power company."
Su Jinru knew that in twenty years, department stores would face restructuring and layoffs, while power supply bureaus would be highly sought after, not only for their high salaries and good benefits, but also for the ease of employment for their children in the future.
Jin Gui doesn't understand.
"Why would you have thought of going to a company like the power supply bureau?"
"Brother Jingui, to be honest, as electricity becomes more and more common and its use becomes more and more widespread, it can be said that in the future, people's lives will be inseparable from electricity. Therefore, the future prospects of units like the power supply bureau will be better than those of units like department stores, with higher profits and incomes. It would be best if your daughter Xiaofeng could also switch to a different unit."
"You mean the department store's future is bleak?"
Su Jinru: "So far, the department store is doing very well and the job is respectable, but the future may not be so good."
“Sister-in-law Dingxiang, your Dalong came back from the army and even learned to drive. Why did he go to the steel factory? He should go to a better company.”
Dingxiang: "The steel plant is now the most profitable and highest-paying unit here. Dalong learned to drive in the army, and now he drives a truck at the steel plant."
Su Jinru: "We are family, so I'll say a few words from the bottom of my heart. No matter what kind of factory it is, twenty years from now, it won't be as good as a government agency. We need to make long-term plans for our children."
Jin Gui: "How do you know so much? Is it true? Twenty years from now, all factories and businesses will be inferior to government agencies?"
Su Jinru chuckled awkwardly: "I guessed it. If you believe me, then let the child transfer to a government agency. If you don't believe me, then pretend I didn't say anything, and don't spread these words around."
Dingxiang asked worriedly, "So, we carefully selected three companies with the best benefits and highest profitability for our three children, Dalong, Erlong, and Xiaofeng. But according to you, Aru, none of the companies they work for are the best. So, what companies are good?"
“Government agencies, armed forces departments, power supply bureaus, water resources bureaus, tax bureaus, finance bureaus, civil affairs bureaus, banks... these are all good organizations.”
Jin Gui seemed to be deep in thought.
"So, all the companies you listed are companies with good future prospects, and Daya can go to any of them?"
Su Jinru nodded.
"Yes, any of these organizations is fine, but why did I suggest the power supply bureau? Because this organization doesn't have high educational requirements, so with only a junior high school education, no one will say anything if you go to such an organization, and it won't put you in a difficult position. Other organizations require certain professional skills, such as the finance bureau, banks, and tax bureaus, which have certain requirements for education and professional knowledge, but generally, these positions don't require a specific educational background."
Jin Gui: "Okay! After the New Year, I will have several companies conduct semi-public recruitment. Then I will notify Daya to register for the exam."
When they got home that evening, Dingxiang said to Jingui, "Do you believe what Aru said? According to her, none of our three children work in good companies."
“Aru wouldn’t say something she wasn’t sure of, especially since she wanted her niece to go to the power company. She said that electricity would become more and more common in the future, and everyone would have to rely on it, which makes some sense.”
Dingxiang: "Aru has helped our family before, and now that she's making this request of you, you simply can't refuse."
“It’s not a difficult thing to do. Just help her. Otherwise, we don’t know when we’ll be able to repay the favors we’ve owed her over the years.”
"Are you really planning to let Daya work at the power company?"
"If you're going to help someone, then help them all the way. They really want to go to that company, so let's just grant their wish!"
“I saw that Da Long was staring at Da Ya in a daze today. Da Long is already nineteen years old. If he hadn’t gone to serve in the army for three years, he would have been married long ago. We should keep the good stuff in the family and make Da Long and Da Ya a couple.”
"This... isn't a good idea! We help people find jobs and then expect them to become our daughters-in-law. What will Aru think of us?"
"Is a family like ours not good enough for a family like hers, Da Ya's family?"
"It's not a question of whether we're a good match or not. The problem is that kids these days prefer free love. What if that girl has already promised herself to someone else, or she already has someone in her heart? Wouldn't we be taking advantage of her kindness? It was supposed to be a good thing, but if we do it this way, it will turn into a bad thing."
“Our Da Long is not young anymore. I just want to help him find a family he knows well.”
"Ask Da Long if he likes her. If he does, he should go after her himself. If he doesn't even have that much ability, then he's wasted three years of military service."
“Didn’t Aru say that the steel plant will be finished in twenty years? Let’s move Dalong to the power supply bureau too, so that it will be convenient for them to be together.”
"Don't rush to put the two of them together. Let's see if they want to be together first, otherwise it will just make things awkward."
The next day, Ding Xiang invited Su Jinru and the others to his home for dinner.
Su Jinru went over early to help with the cooking, while the others arrived around mealtime.
The whole family went to Dingxiang's house, with Anxin and Daya being the last to arrive.
The two girls were the same age and always had so much to talk about.
Everyone else had gone far away, and the two of them, engrossed in their conversation, fell behind.
They were walking hand in hand, chatting intimately, when suddenly they felt someone blocking their way.
Before me stood a disheveled person, his clothes filthy.
Both girls were startled.
"An Xin, is that you? It really is you."
"you you……"
An Xin was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
"I... am Daddy! Anxin!"
An Xin looked at the man approaching her in horror and involuntarily pulled Daya back.
"You...don't come over."
Qi Zhengyang also realized that his appearance might have frightened his daughter.
