My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 182: Who is job number assigned to?
Chapter 182: Who is job number 182 assigned to?
Li Xiuli quickly set down the farming tools in her hands and hurried toward the kitchen.
Once inside, she saw on the stove a dish of smashed cucumbers, a dish of Tomato Scrambled Eggs, and a stir-fried loofah.
The colors were appealing, suggesting that the taste wouldn’t be bad.
"Tangtang, you cooked, didn’t you? Are you hurt anywhere?" Li Xiuli asked, her face filled with concern.
She went over and grabbed Lin Tang’s hand, inspecting it several times, turning it over and over.
"I’m not hurt; I’m fine, not a scratch, Mother, you don’t need to worry," Lin Tang said, feeling both warmed and helpless at her mother’s overprotectiveness.
Li Xiuli, looking serious, replied sternly, "How could I not worry? You’ve never done the cooking by yourself. What if you cut or burned yourself?"
Lin Tang: How could she explain to her mother, whose heart was full of maternal love, that she had already learned to cook several dishes?
After a brief silence, Lin Tang said, "Mother, haven’t I always watched you cook? I’ve learned by watching. Today I tried it out and thought it wasn’t too bad, but later I’ll need Mother to taste and offer some suggestions..."
She felt quite pleased with herself, believing the outcome to be good.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuli looked again at the delicious-looking dishes on the stove.
A hint of pride surfaced on her face.
"They must be delicious, with these colors and aromas. I smelled it the moment I walked into the yard; how could it not be tasty?"
As she spoke, her gaze towards Lin Tang was tinged with pity.
The child had grown up, and that’s not entirely a good thing.
How could those hands, which should be holding a pen, do such coarse work?
She sighed heavily in her heart, feeling her daughter had suffered more than her fair share.
Lin Tang: "?!"
What had happened...
After the family finished their meal, Goudan was called away by villagers to talk about films and news from the county because of his eloquence.
Lin Lu and Lin Qingmu were about to follow, but Lin Tang stopped them.
"Father, Mother, Third Brother, wait a moment, I have something to say," she said.
They all paused and then sat back down.
"Daughter, what do you have to tell us?" As the head of the Lin Family, Lin Lu was the first to ask.
Li Xiuli and Lin Qingmu looked at Lin Tang, waiting for her to speak.
Lin Tang took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Lin Lu.
"Father, have a look!" she said with a smile.
The girl’s eyes curved slightly, her gaze sparkling like the countless stars of a summer night.
Seeing his daughter’s joy, Lin Lu guessed it was good news and instantly felt relieved.
However.
He expected good news, but not something this incredibly good.
He quickly scanned the two sheets of paper.
Lin Lu felt no sense of reality, as if his mind had gone blank, as though he was dreaming.
He read them carefully again, twice more.
Then.
He stood up swiftly.
His eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, and he gasped softly.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock as he looked at Lin Tang.
This this this...
A job, a job?!
"Tang, Tangtang, is this real?" Lin Lu’s voice was hoarse from the shock.
His blood pressure soared to 140.
Lin Qingmu, seeing his father so astounded, was puzzled.
He took the papers and looked at them himself.
The next second, his expression mirrored Lin Lu’s.
The only difference was that his eyes were shining, fiery red like a volcanic eruption.
"Sister, is this true? Our family is going to have two jobs now?!" he nearly held his breath as he spoke.
Li Xiuli, being illiterate, itched with curiosity from her husband and son’s reactions, but nobody answered her.
She asked the head of the family, Lin Lu, but he was too stunned to respond.
Asking the third son, it seemed like he hadn’t heard her at all!
Li Xiuli, who was naturally impatient, also heard that those two pieces of paper were potentially two job offers.
Her heart raced, almost jumping out of her chest.
Feeling extremely anxious, she carefully took the two pieces of paper from Lin Qingmu’s hands.
Looked and looked, but couldn’t understand a word.
Suddenly, she became anxious. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Tangtang, tell your mother quickly, what’s going on?" Li Xiuli’s tone was filled with urgency.
Lin Tang faced three pairs of eager eyes and explained the situation in a few sentences.
After they listened to her, the three of them were stunned for a long while.
When had jobs become so easy to get? It was like picking cabbages in the field...
"...So that’s how it is. Dad, Mom, third brother, do you have any thoughts?" Lin Tang threw the two job opportunities out there for the family to decide who should take them.
She would not interfere.
Anyone would be fine!
Li Xiuli quickly regained her composure, her expression still somewhat dazed, "...Our family is suddenly going to have two jobs?"
Two jobs.
Two stable iron rice bowls!!!
Counting Tangtang, that made three.
Were the Lin Family going to soar to the skies?
Just thinking about it made Li Xiuli’s face flush with excitement.
"Yes, mom, what do you think would be the best way to arrange these two jobs?" asked Lin Tang.
If it were up to her, she would definitely want to give one to her third brother.
The eldest brother was developing a pig farming business, so becoming a technician wouldn’t be a problem.
The second sister-in-law, both in terms of capability and temperament, would be best off working at the Sauce Factory in the future.
In a year or two, the outside world would... cough cough...
The second sister-in-law speaks without thinking; if she went out to work, it would be easy for trouble to arise.
She also wanted to place the second brother in the Sauce Factory.
Men and women working together, work wouldn’t be so tiring.
With the second brother watching over the second sister-in-law, the whole family would be at ease.
The eldest sister-in-law was educated; the county job was tailor-made for her.
But then again.
The eldest brother’s career was in the village; separating the lovey-dovey couple, Lin Tang felt extremely guilty.
This was a problem! It needed attention, needed to be solved...
After much thought, one of the jobs should go to the third brother.
The third brother was well-educated and lively, and he had been eager to secure a steady job for more than just a day or two; it was time to fulfill the child’s dream.
Li Xiuli subconsciously glanced at Lin Qingmu, feeling a bit uncertain in her heart.
So she looked at Lin Lu.
"Head of the house, what do you think?"
After pondering for a moment, Lin Lu made a decisive decision, "Give one to the eldest daughter-in-law..."
The eldest daughter-in-law was an educated person; it would be a pity for her to toil in the fields for work points.
"The other one..."
As he spoke, he suddenly fell silent.
If it was given to the third son, their family would have three stable jobs.
From what his daughter suggested, the Sauce Factory had at least two more spots for their family.
The second branch was increasingly prosperous, but the eldest and third branches were still marking time; this worried Lin Lu.
... he had the thought of ’giving up’ one job slot.
Lin Tang noticed her third brother’s head lowered, his expression indiscernible.
She pursed her lips and said, "...give it to my third brother."
With a job within reach, there was no reason to still let the third brother be disappointed.
Lin Qingmu’s heart gave a fierce tremble, as if intense emotions were spreading through the depths of his eyes.
Like a tremendous wave surging underneath a calm sea.
It seemed like just an instant.
Then it was calm again.
He reached out and ruffled Lin Tang’s hair, his voice containing laughter, "I’ll go along with Dad’s arrangement."
"Dad doesn’t need to consider my feelings, go with what you think is best!"
"It’s only a matter of time before I get a stable job, and although this opportunity is rare, there’s still a long road ahead."
With that, he looked at Lin Tang with a gentle gaze.
"If my sister could get two jobs in just a short month, then it’s not impossible for her to help me get one later on..." he said half-jokingly without any reservation.
Lin Lu felt a heaviness in his chest hearing his youngest speak this way.
