70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 102: Transportation Team Work

"There’s a spot open in the county transport team. Someone messed up and got fired, leaving an opening. My dad has a recommendation quota. Didn’t you say you wanted to find a job for your brother? I mentioned it to my dad," Du Yu said with a smile.

"It’s not easy to get into the county transport team, right?" Xu Mumu was very tempted by the position.

"Indeed, it’s not easy. My dad only has a recommendation quota, and others have it too, so when it comes time to choose someone, you know, it’s just one spot. Whether your brother can be selected or not will depend on luck," Du Yu said with a smile.

The position in the county transport team has always been sought after. Naturally, there are many who want to get in. It’s rare for a spot to open up, thanks to that person’s own fault, and there are quite a few people eyeing it now.

"I understand. I really need this opportunity. Thank you, Du Yu," Xu Mumu said sincerely.

"No problem. Have your brother come over to see my dad on Tuesday morning. My dad will take him to the interview then," Du Yu said with a smile. Although he had given up on liking Xu Mumu, he considered her a good friend and was naturally willing to help when he could, especially since his family didn’t need the job right now.

"I owe you one," Xu Mumu said, patting Du Yu’s shoulder. Even if her brother wasn’t chosen, Du Yu had helped her a lot.

After tutoring Du Yu, Xu Mumu hurried home.

When she returned home, Xu Minghui was cutting wood.

"Brother, I have good news for you," Xu Mumu said happily.

"What’s the good news?" Xu Minghui asked curiously, his chopping knife still cutting through trees thicker than his waist, then splitting them into pieces and putting the firewood into the storage shed.

"It’s news about your job," Xu Mumu sat next to Xu Minghui on a large log, with several curious little kids also gathering around.

"Is there a job opening?" Xu Minghui’s eyes brightened, and he put down his chopping knife, staring intently at Xu Mumu.

"Sis, what job is it?" Xu Minglei asked, very curious.

"It’s a position in the county transport team. Du Yu’s dad has a recommendation quota. Whether you can get in or not, it’s up to your own skills. There’ll definitely be a lot of people going for the interview," Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"I can definitely do it," Xu Minghui’s eyes shone even brighter. A position in the transport team was such a good opportunity, he felt like he was dreaming.

"I remember you used to drive the brigade’s tractor, right?" Xu Mumu’s mind flashed back to her brother confidently driving the tractor when Lin Aimin from the brigade got sick, and Xu Minghui temporarily took over.

"I can drive a bit," Xu Minghui said, a bit embarrassed.

"You should go ask Aimin for tips on driving a tractor. Since you can drive and know more about it, you’ll have a better chance than those who know nothing about it," Xu Mumu advised.

"Alright, I’m going right away," Xu Minghui dropped the chopping knife, realizing that a job was far more important than cutting wood.

"Go ahead, and be polite. Oh, Grandma gave me some egg cakes; take them to Aiguo." Xu Mumu ran to her room to get the egg cakes for Xu Minghui, originally intended to coax the little kids.

"Alright, once I have a job and earn some money, I’ll buy you lots of tasty food," Xu Minghui understood what Xu Mumu meant, knowing it would make asking for help easier.

"Brother, don’t mention the job too soon. Wait until it’s confirmed," Xu Mumu advised seriously, worried that talking about it too soon would make things awkward if he wasn’t selected.

"Don’t worry, I get it. Little brother, I’m leaving things at home to you for now," Xu Minghui said with a bright smile, determined to seize this opportunity at all costs.

"Big sister, what does the transport team do?" Xu Jiaojiao asked curiously.

"It’s about transporting goods, and you can go to many places," Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"Big brother is really lucky," Xu Tao envied. He was too young to drive a car, but it sounded really cool.

"It’s just good luck for brother. You guys need to study more. With enough knowledge, there are plenty of ways to make money," Xu Mumu said warmly.

When Xu Minghui left, no one was there to handle the few big logs at home, so Xu Mumu had to take over the task.

Fortunately, she was strong, and she wielded the chopping knife with vigor.

In no time, a pile of firewood had been chopped into smaller pieces.

"Sis, here’s the axe," Xu Minglei went to the shed to get the axe.

"Keep some distance so I don’t accidentally hit you," Xu Mumu said, a bit helpless, seeing the little kids gathered around her.

"Big sister, you chop wood, I’ll help carry it to the shed," Xu Jiaojiao said earnestly. The young girl admired her big sister even more now; finding a job seemed so easy for her.

"When I’ve chopped more, you can come and carry it in. If you have nothing else to do, go read a book. Do you remember the stuff I taught you this morning?" Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"Big sister, I remember everything. The brothers are dumb; they didn’t remember," Xu Jiaojiao said proudly, casting a disdainful glance at her brothers, as if saying "a bunch of useless fools."

"How about Jiaojiao helps teach them?" Xu Mumu’s smile deepened. The more one learned, the more obvious one’s talent for learning became. Xu Jiaojiao’s talent outshone all her little siblings.

"Big sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely teach them," Xu Jiaojiao said earnestly. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The boys felt quite defeated; they were always outdone by their youngest sister, and big sister always wanted them to learn various things.

However, Xu Minglei and Tiedan didn’t have any resentment; they were academic stars in the village school and had been praised by teachers many times, and they liked being at the top of their class.

English words and pronunciations sounded in the small yard. Xu Jiaojiao’s pronunciation was quite good; she remembered everything Xu Mumu taught her. Watching the young girl teach the little ones, Xu Mumu smiled, finding it quite interesting.

In no time, Xu Mumu had split the stack of wood into smaller pieces with the axe.

Without needing Xu Mumu to instruct them, the young ones rushed to carry the firewood to the shed and stacked it neatly. Perhaps this was the benefit of having many kids at home: once help was available, tasks got done quickly.
