Chapter 158 Connections
After these words were spoken, the room became even quieter.
It was so quiet that it seemed as if the only sound was each other's heartbeats.
Xu Sui's cheeks felt hot. She raised her hand to touch her burning face, blinked, and boldly looked directly into the eyes of the man in front of her.
A man's eyes reveal only seriousness, not perfunctoriness, and certainly not casual remarks.
She could almost feel her heart beating slightly faster.
"real?"
"Yes, really." Qin Yunzhou nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Xu Sui's flushed cheeks, pausing for a moment.
She was indeed beautiful, with an impeccable appearance.
Although their marriage started as a mistake, things seem to be going well afterward.
Now that they even have children, it seems... their future won't be too bad.
No woman dislikes being complimented on her looks, and no woman doesn't love beauty.
Xu Sui was no exception, especially since the person who praised her was no ordinary person.
She couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
Qin Yunzhou's gaze fell on her bright smile, his lips slightly upturned, and his eyes also held a hint of amusement.
Such days don't seem so bad.
For most ordinary people, a simple and ordinary life is actually a kind of happiness.
Suddenly, Xu Sui remembered something else and asked in confusion, "Right, wasn't it said that this watch would take at least one or two months to arrive? It's only been less than a month, how come it arrived so quickly?"
Qin Yunzhou paused for a moment, then explained, "I sent a telegram to Hai City; I have acquaintances and friends there."
"He happened to have a watch ticket. He wasn't short of money. When he heard about our wedding, he used his own watch ticket to buy us watches and sent them to us."
That's why it was so fast; otherwise, it would have taken about one or two months to go back and forth.
He actually knows quite a few people, some of whom he met when he was in military academy. After graduation, they were assigned to different regions and different units.
Some of them I knew from the military have retired, some have transferred to other jobs, and some have been reassigned to other places over the years.
Not to mention that he grew up in Beijing and has a group of close childhood friends.
Of course, some people might distance themselves from him because he's not family-oriented, but there are definitely not those kinds of people.
To be honest, he knows quite a lot of people. To avoid getting them mixed up, he even has a special notebook where he writes down all the friends he has made over the years.
They are generally trustworthy true friends.
No matter where Xu Sui goes to university in the future, if anything happens, his connections can help her.
Xu Sui understood. She raised her wrist and glanced at the brand-new, beautiful watch, somewhat curiously asking, "This watch... it must be expensive, right? How much did it cost?"
Anyway, in their small county, those watches that cost one or two hundred yuan are far inferior to this one just by looking at them.
"About four hundred yuan."
Xu Sui paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the watch on her wrist; it was indeed expensive.
That four hundred yuan is enough to buy the temporary job that Liu Feng has.
"This one on your wrist must be pretty expensive, right?" Xu Sui looked at Qin Yunzhou's wrist, noticing that the style of the watch was somewhat similar to hers.
Her watch is a Plum Blossom brand watch from Shanghai.
However, the one Qin Yunzhou was wearing seemed to be from a different brand than hers.
Qin Yunzhou glanced at the simple yet elegant watch on his wrist. "Hmm, it's definitely not cheap."
"I bought this at a foreign exchange shop in Beijing years ago. It was bought with special foreign exchange certificates, and you can't buy it anymore."
The two talked for a while.
Qin Hai's voice came from outside, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, dinner is ready."
The dinner table.
When Grandma Qin saw Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui, she couldn't help but ask immediately.
"Yunzhou, Suisui, have you talked to your mother about the job? How much money does she want? We need to raise the money for her as soon as possible."
This kind of good thing is so rare, it's best to settle down as soon as possible.
What if someone else beats it to it? Wouldn't all that joy be for nothing?
Qin Yunzhou nodded. He had indeed gone out today and visited the county hospital again.
"Based on the current market rate, a temporary worker's job is roughly 370 yuan, let's say 370 yuan."
These words were spoken.
Grandma Qin quickly considered the price in her mind: 370. This price wasn't high or low; it was about right and within her budget.
After all, temporary work is not as good as that of permanent work, it doesn't solve the household registration problem, the salary is not as high as that of permanent work, not to mention the benefits.
"Yes, yes, Yunzhou, Suisui, you two tell Yinhua that the price is fine."
After saying that, Old Lady Qin took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from her body, and unfolded the handkerchief layer by layer. When she unfolded one layer, there was another layer inside.
They opened several layers before finally taking out a stack of ten-yuan bills and placing the money on the dining table in front of the entire Qin family.
"This is the two hundred yuan I contributed; I still owe one hundred and seventy yuan."
After speaking, she looked at Qin Min and Xiao Fen and cleared her throat.
"Boss, you've been working for so long, and you eat and live at home most of the time. Even if you hand over half of it to me, the other half is still in your and your wife's hands."
"Buying a job for your mother isn't for anyone else, but mainly for the sake of this family. Over the years, your parents have worked incredibly hard for you and your husband."
"So, how much are you planning to offer?"
Qin Min has started coming back to sleep these days. He takes after his father, Qin Youtian, and is also a man of few words.
Speaking of this, he looked at Xiao Fen beside him and said to Grandma Qin, "Grandma, you can ask Xiao Fen about this. All the money is with her; I don't have any on me."
"Of course, I have no objection to giving money to Mom to buy her a job."
After all, given his mother's personality, once she starts working and earning money, she'll probably spend it all on this family anyway.
Grandma Qin looked at Xiao Fen, "Your husband has no objections, but what about you? What are your thoughts? How much are you planning to contribute?"
Xiao Fen glanced at everyone present, thought for a moment, and said, "I have no objection to giving money to Mom to buy her a job, but I have one request."
These words were spoken.
Everyone present looked at Xiao Fen. Everyone knew that she also wanted this job. If it weren't for the old lady stopping her, she would have gotten it.
Xiao Fen took out a bankbook from her person and, like Old Lady Qin, placed it on the dining table.
"There is a total of 150 yuan in this passbook, which is all the savings of my husband and me. After all, Mom is getting old and can't keep working forever. My request is that when Mom can't work anymore and retires, this job should be given to me."
My mother-in-law is almost 46 years old. Even if she were given a job, she would only work for a few more years before retiring.
All things considered, she didn't lose out.
