Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Even if someone registers at the local street office to find a job, the office will strictly screen their qualifications and only give jobs to families that are experiencing financial difficulties.

But things are different now. Although the machinery factory has expanded to more than 5000 people, He Yuzhu now needs to start a car engine business, and the car assembly plant also needs a large number of workers.

Now, as long as you register with the local street office, even if you are disabled, they will be given suitable jobs.

Qin Huairu is guaranteed a job as long as she registers.

This period is not selective for anyone.

Qin Huairu said shyly, "Anyway, if I sign up for a job, I'll end up working in a machinery factory, so I just wanted to ask for your opinion."

"Oh~"

He Yuzhu instantly understood that Qin Huairu wanted to find a more relaxed job.

You know, once a woman like her goes in, she'll either have to clean and tidy up or do some heavy physical work.

After all, there is a lot of construction going on right now, and the easier positions have already been taken up by people with connections.

He Yuzhu, as the deputy factory director, was well aware of these matters.

However, he didn't pay attention to these trivial matters, since he had set up an assessment system that required regular assessments of all positions.

He Yuzhu has plenty of ways to deal with those who occupy positions but don't actually work.

Although he understood Qin Huairu's plan, he pretended to be confused and said, "It's okay, you can just go to the street office, and they will arrange for you to work at the machinery factory."

Qin Huairu was a little dumbfounded. She had come to him willingly, and she hadn't refused He Yuzhu's kiss earlier.

Moreover, he even fondled her large, white breasts before she pushed him away.

She made such a big sacrifice just so that He Yuzhu would arrange a more relaxed job for her.

But now He Yuzhu has taken advantage of the situation and is now trying to shirk all responsibility.

How can that work?

Qin Huairu said delicately, "But I've never worked before, nor have I ever done any physical labor. There are many things I can't do."

He Yuzhu said, "It's okay, you'll get used to it after a while and you'll be able to adapt."

When Qin Huairu heard He Yuzhu say that, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, as if she had suffered an immense injustice.

"He Yuzhu, I misjudged you. How could you be so heartless?"

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

He Yuzhu said, "Alright, stop crying. I was just joking with you. But you're not my wife, so why should I help you like this?"

Qin Huairu pouted and said with a wronged expression, "You've bullied me so many times, and I haven't said anything."

"But I feel it's not enough."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he pulled Qin Huairu to the back row, hugged her in his arms, sat facing her, and then kissed her.

Qin Huairu was very compliant and responded gently, completely ignoring He Yuzhu's hand that reached into her arms, as if she hadn't felt it at all.

Her snow-white breasts changed shape...

He Yuzhu was stopped by Qin Huairu when he tried to take it a step further.

He pulled the sailor that He Yuzhu had placed on his lap, preventing him from putting it under his skirt, and then pulled it to his chest.

The meaning is obvious: the lower body is not He Yuzhu's territory yet, and he can only exercise his upper body.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to comply and didn't take any further steps. The fact that Qin Huairu had taken the initiative to come to him today was already a very good start.

Things always have to be done step by step; you can't get fat in one bite.

In other words, there is a recent food shortage, and people are struggling to make ends meet, so they can only eat cornmeal porridge.

Otherwise, Qin Huairu wouldn't have swallowed her pride and asked me for an easy job.

In order to earn more wages and food to survive, she has not yet reached the point of directly selling her body.

It's just letting He Yuzhu gain an advantage in words, and at most, he can get his hands dirty.

Not long after their lips parted, Qin Huairu asked shyly, "Could you find me a less demanding job?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Okay."

Qin Huairu then said, "But you know our two families don't get along, so you can't put me in the main factory."

Because the neighborhood had previously placed all collective enterprises under the name of the machinery factory, the machinery factory was located far outside the suburbs.

However, some of the affiliated primary schools, garment factories, processing plants, glass factories, and canneries—these small factories that originally belonged to the streets—are still located in the city.

Qin Huairu's plan was not to go to the main factory, but to work in these affiliated factories.

He Yuzhu remained silent for a moment, not immediately agreeing.

Qin Huairu shook He Yuzhu and said coquettishly, "I've already done this much, so please say yes?"

He Yuzhu said, "But the place is already full, and it's not easy to arrange for people unless you can agree to one condition."

Qin Huairu was a little nervous, worried that He Yuzhu would make such an excessive request, so she braced herself and asked, "What conditions?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "I'm a little hungry today, and you've brought two steamed buns with you..."

Chapter 317 Test Drive

"what!"

Qin Huairu exclaimed in surprise. If He Yuzhu were to ask her to be his wife, she definitely wouldn't agree.

She hasn't seen any benefits yet, so how could she easily give herself away?

Even if He Yuzhu offers some favorable terms now, Qin Huairu still hasn't made up her mind to take that step.

To be honest, in his previous opinion, He Yuzhu's suggestion was also a very excessive thing.

So Qin Huairu is currently in a dilemma. She has already put in so much effort, should she put in even more to get this excellent job?

Somewhat hesitantly, he asked, "Then what kind of job can you arrange for me?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Those small factories in the city are actually not easy to run either."

In this environment lacking specialized equipment, almost all positions require physical labor, with few easy tasks.

Qin Huairu knew this too, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to He Yuzhu directly out of grievance.

I was thinking of being assigned to a better position directly, so as to avoid being assigned a worse position first and then being reassigned, which would be more likely to cause criticism from others.

Although Qin Huairu had never worked a regular job, she had heard Jia Dongxu talk about things that happened in the factory.

They were well aware of these connections.

Qin Huairu lowered her head and kissed him on the lips before saying, "There must be some easier positions, right?"

Before liberation, Qin Huairu went to junior high school and did not contribute much to the family.

Later, she married Jia Dongxu, and her job was to cook and do laundry at home. Although she was busy, it wasn't tiring.

Suddenly forced to go to work, Qin Huairu was very resistant to the kind of physically demanding work.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gritted their teeth and gone after that old rogue, He Yuzhu.

After all the hard work I've put in, it's finally time to decide on my job position.

Qin Huairu told He Yuzhu to close his eyes, and then shyly unbuttoned her blouse.

He Yuzhu squinted his eyes and then took in the breathtaking scenery.

Qin Huairu playfully straightened her body, allowing He Yuzhu to feel her warmth up close.

He then sat back down and covered himself with his clothes.

"Just help me find an easier job!"

He Yuzhu had already thought it through, and then said, "Recently, there has been a sudden increase in the number of workers, including some dual-income families, so we have decided to set up another childcare class in the city. Why don't you go in and take care of the children?"

The so-called "Yuhong Class" is actually a combination of kindergarten and daycare.

Because the factory is short of workers, many of the family members of the original workers have recently come to work there.

Although most families have elderly relatives to help with childcare, some families lack such caregivers, so many workers have suggested that the factory should have a childcare team.

This is a rather prominent issue, and He Yuzhu had already discussed it with the neighborhood committee a few days ago.

Near the primary school, they acquired another yard and renovated the existing house to set up a kindergarten.

"You want me to take care of the kids?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Other jobs are quite tiring, this one is a bit easier. Besides, you don't have any technical skills but you have experience taking care of children, so I think this job is quite suitable for you."

Qin Huairu thought about it and realized that was indeed the case; if you didn't have the skills, you could only contribute your physical strength.

I've already given birth to a baby boy, and now it's time for him to start kindergarten, so I'll be working at that kindergarten.

The work was relatively easy, and she was still able to take care of her son, so she nodded and said, "That's good, it's just the right time for Banggeng to start school."

Seeing that he had agreed, He Yuzhu smiled and asked:

"Can I eat steamed buns now?"

Qin Huairu blushed, opened her clothes, and closed her eyes.
