Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 297: World of Ages 49: Temporary Worker

This is Zuo Zhizhi’s habit of giving gifts.

First of all, there are some common supplements. Gu’s parents are not short of money, so they can buy whatever they want themselves, but some less common things are not available.

Especially for things like walnuts and dates, it’s not that they are impossible to find, it just depends on luck.

It just so happens that Zuo Zhizhi’s space can be used for continuous planting, so even if deliveries are made 365 days a year, there is no need to worry about running out of things.

Moreover, something like this that replenishes the body is definitely something that can be shown off no matter who it is given to or when it is given, and it can also make Gu's parents more proud.

In addition to these, Zuo Zhizhi occasionally prepares some things sold in stores, such as facial skin care products, silk scarves, socks, etc.

It is not particularly expensive, nor is it beyond the family's means, but it can let Gu's parents know that they always keep him in their hearts.

Mother Gu was already used to Zuo Zhizhi sending gifts, and she looked very happy, so she naturally pulled her aside to talk.

Maybe it is true that things smell better from a distance than up close, and now the relationship between the two is much better than before.

You have to know that before Zuo Zhizhi actually met Gu's parents, their evaluation of her was only average.

Everyone knows that Gu Jiqing can find a job, so it is normal to have impure thoughts when dating him at this time.

Gu's parents couldn't help but look at people through tinted glasses, but after such a long time, they finally truly accepted Zuo Zhizhi as their daughter-in-law.

The two were chatting happily here, but Luo Qiuxin on the side was not very satisfied.

Not to mention that the silk scarf Zuo Zhizhi brought to her house was only Gu's mother's, so she could only look at it with envy.

Just by looking at how excited my parents were, I knew I was being left far behind.

Although I am the eldest daughter-in-law, I can't help but have a sense of closeness and distance in my heart. What if they think the second son's family is closer and give up on me?

While Luo Qiu was thinking about this and that, Zuo Zhizhi had already finished what she needed to do for the day and was preparing to leave before dinner.

It’s not a good idea to go over for dinner at this time, as the Gu family doesn’t lack these things, but it’s obviously better for the two of them to go out for dinner together.

After Zuo Zhizhi left, Mother Gu couldn't help but glance at Luo Qiuxin. Seeing that she was still daydreaming, she curled her lips and returned to her room.

That night, Luo Qiuxin hurriedly urged Gu Jilin, "What should we do about this work? I can't stay at home all day, right?"

"Isn't it good to stay at home? You don't have to go to work, and there's not much to do at home. We can also have a child, isn't that great!"

Gu Jilin didn't take this matter to heart. Gu's parents had high salaries and his salary was not low either, so the family was definitely not short of money.

If Luo Qiuxin had enough money, there would be no need for her to go out to work.

Anyway, someone has to clean up the house. Before, it was her parents who took care of everything inside and outside the house. Now that Luo Qiuxin is married, it is natural for her to do it.

If Luo Qiuxin went to work, she would be busy at the company for half a day every day, and then she would have to run around the house when she got home. It would be really tiring.

Luo Qiuxin disagreed: "Then I can't stay at home every day! Look, everyone else is out working, and I'm the only one sitting at home with nothing to do, like eating a free meal!"

"Don't worry, we're not short of money at home, so you don't have to go out to work. Besides, I'm rich, right? I've given you all my money, so you can buy whatever you want yourself, don't worry!"

Gu Jilin is very chauvinistic. Although he finally got the girl he wanted, he naturally seemed ordinary after that.

However, although he kept a portion of his salary, most of it was given to Luo Qiuxin.

Gu's parents didn't ask for too much living expenses from me. Although I gave them a symbolic amount, I knew it was definitely not enough, and they definitely contributed some money.

Luo Qiuxin couldn't say it directly. After all, she didn't want to go out to make money, but wanted to find a job to enrich herself!

Although it is very good to get money without working, my experience in my previous life tells me that it is not advisable to always keep your palms facing up and ask others for money!

He's willing to give it to me now, and he should be willing to give it to me next year. But after a long time, who can guarantee that he will still have the same idea?

You have to know that there are still several years left before the college entrance examination. Various changes may occur during these years. If the other party changes his or her heart, you will not even have a place to cry!

Luo Qiuxin thought about it and decided to use Zuo Zhizhi as an excuse.

"My sister-in-law came over today and brought a lot of things, many of which are rare items. I don't know where she got a lot of walnuts and dates from, and she kept saying that she wanted to nourish Mom and Dad!"

"There's also this department store's incredibly hard-to-find silk scarf, and a pair of pillowcases. Even though they're defective, I don't see a single flaw!"

"Look how much they treat their parents. I also want to buy something for them, but the money is not enough. Then I have to go out and work!"

Gu Jilin heard Luo Qiuxin keep talking about work, and the behavior of the second brother's family. Although he didn't care too much, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell my parents later!"

Only then did Luo Qiuxin feel relieved.

As long as they are willing to look for one, it will be easy to find a job for yourself. Although it may not be as dignified as a salesperson, you will definitely not treat yourself badly!

The next day, Luo Qiuxin quietly hid aside and was relieved when she saw Gu Jilin asking his father for work.

Mother Gu's position is not very high, but it is no problem for Father Gu to arrange a job for her.

Gu Jilin thought this matter would be easy, but he frowned and said, "It wouldn't have been difficult to get a job in the past, but now the requirements for going to the countryside are getting stricter and stricter, and it's getting harder and harder to get a job!"

"How could that be? Isn't the factory short of people?"

Gu Jilin was a little bit unbelieving. After all, everyone in his family had a job. Wasn’t it all arranged by his family?

Why can’t I find a job for my wife now?

"Every household is now asking to go to the countryside, and factory leaders have a lot of targets. If you already have a job, it's not a big deal. But if you don't have a job, arranging another one requires layers of approval!"

"Then last year..."

"Last year the requirements were not very strict, but the situation of going to the countryside will only get worse after this, and it will be very difficult to arrange work."

Gu Jilin had initially given up hope when he heard his father's tone, but then he changed the subject: "There are quite a few temporary workers in the factory, and there are still vacancies. If it's just a temporary job, there's no problem!"
