After being in touch with him for a long time, you would find that the landlord was a very funny person. The two houses needed to be repaired, but Ye Ning didn’t go to tidy them up. When she went back two days later, the tiles on the roof had been turned over.
“You have to clean up the hygiene yourself. If there are no problems, we will sign a contract.” If the landlord hadn’t seen Ye Ning as a little girl, he wouldn’t have rented like this again.
“Thank you very much. I will clean the house myself. Let’s sign the contract now.” The contract was signed for three years in total. Originally, Ye Ning wanted to sign for five years. Thinking about it, Ye Lan would graduate from high school in three years. Without knowing what the situation was, it would be better to sign for three years first.
It took two days for one person to clean everything inside and out. The original homeowner was from a good family and had floor tiles both inside and outside. The walls were a little dirty. Ye Ning wiped them with a towel, but it was difficult to wipe them off. If it were in the future, she would just buy a bucket of latex paint. It was difficult to get white ash now, so she might as well ignore it and just stick newspapers on the bedside and the wall. This kind of old bed had four poles to support the mosquito net. Ye Ning thought about going back to the tailor to get two mosquito nets made.
The windows were all made of glass, and it took Ye Ning a long time to wipe them clean. She ran to buy two wires and a box of nails, pulled two pieces of cloth, and the simple curtains were completed.
The room was cleaned, and the washed cabinets and tables were dried. She spent some money to find someone to help move the cabinets and furniture home. She and Ye Lan’s room was slightly larger, and the bed was also larger, and there were also two wardrobes, one for each person. Ye Gu’s room was relatively small, with a cabinet and a desk. The furnishings were very simple, but Ye Ning already had a sense of accomplishment.
After locking the door and returning to school contentedly, she saw Wang Yao standing in front of the dormitory door.
“Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Wang Yao returned the key to the school when she moved away. She couldn’t even get in.
“I rented a house outside a few days ago and cleaned it there. I can’t live here at the school for too long.” Ye Ning said apologetically.
The two entered the dormitory. Wang Yao sat on Ye Ning’s bed, after standing outside for more than half an hour, she was exhausted.
“You rented a house? Where?”
“It’s on Houxi Road. There are many houses over there. I asked several houses in the yard, and I actually rented one of them.”
Ye Ning poured a glass of water for Wang Yao, “I scalded the newly bought quilt with boiling water.”
“Thank you.” Wang Yao happened to be thirsty. She took a sip and drank, “Houxi Road is a little way away from the pharmaceutical factory. How do you live there? Can’t you find a house next to the pharmaceutical factory? You can tell me and I will ask my uncle to help you arrange a dormitory. It also saves money.”
“No, there was a house next to the pharmaceutical factory. It wouldn’t matter if I was alone. But the main reason is that my brother and sister will come to the city in a few months. Teacher Zhang helped me contact the second primary school. My younger brother will go to the second primary school next semester. Houxi Road is close to the second primary school, so I decided to live there.”
Ye Ning realized that Wang Yao came to her because of her work in the pharmaceutical factory, and asked with a smile: “What is my position? Do you know?”
“Yes, my uncle told me. I’m going to tell you now.” It was the first time for Wang Yao to help a classmate introduce a job, so she was so concerned about it.
“I don’t know if your luck us good or bad? In the past, only 10 people passed the exam, and sometimes there was only a 30% admission rate. This time, all those who passed the exam were admitted. Do you know why?”
It was not because they were all admitted. Ye Ning knew the children of cadres, and shook her head cooperatively, asking Wang Yao to continue.
“Because this time they were mainly recruiting children of cadres. It is said to be an exam, which means that as long as you pass the test, you can get a job. I heard that two of them failed. I don’t know how stupid they are. It’s just a book. Eighty percent of the questions come from there, but you can’t even pass.”
Wang Yao shook her head sarcastically, “Despite having so many connections, you would definitely not be able to get a good position.”
“Yes. For me, just having a job is enough.” Looking at Wang Yao’s tone and expression, she knew it wasn’t particularly bad, otherwise she wouldn’t have made this trip, “You haven’t told me what position am I allocated? What do you want? It is making me anxious!”
Wang Yao raised her eyebrows, “My uncle assigned you to work as an assistant in the workshop first. You will usually help the workshop director run errands and organize some information. The work is not difficult. You will have contact with many leaders and grassroots employees, and you can learn a lot. When there is a chance in the future, I will get you a better job.” The latter words were added by Wang Yao herself.
“This position is already very good.” Ye Ning knew very well that without Wang Yao’s help, she would not even be qualified for the exam, let alone such a position.
“Don’t keep telling me thank you! When you get paid, just remember to treat me to dinner.” Wang Yao was half-joking.
Speaking of inviting her to dinner, Ye Ning remembered the clothes she ordered from a tailor last time. She had already gone to get them yesterday and was worried that she would have no chance to give them to Wang Yao.
“Last time we went shopping for clothes, I always felt that some of the clothes were not what I wanted, so I designed a set myself. I also designed a set for you. Do you like it?” Ye Ning took down a bag of clothes from the upper bunk, it had a dress and a jacket.
“Custom-made clothes for me? Did you design them yourself?” Wang Yao took the clothes and shook them off, her eyes brightening slightly. It was a simple and elegant style, mainly a little playful, and she also liked the color, “Wait a minute, let me try it on.”
Wang Yao had big breasts, and many clothes made her look thick when she wore them. People who were not fat were made to look a lot fatter, so Ye Ning specially designed the shoulders and chest to reveal her slim body. The long neck prevented the breasts from appearing so big, and the waistline was raised to better show Wang Yao’s slim waist. Wearing a cute belt alone made it a little sexy, and when paired with a jacket, she immediately became very elegant.
Wang Yao couldn’t take it off. “It’s so beautiful. I didn’t know you had this talent. I’m going to wear this dress for my college entrance banquet.”
“As long as you like it.” Ye Ning certainly didn’t have it herself. Such a talent couldn’t stand up to the many beautiful clothes she had seen. This suit was a classic model of a big brand in the 1980s. If it was not even out of date thirty years later, how could it not conquer Wang Yao.
“I like it very much. Can I ask you to design clothes next time?” Wang Yao changed her clothes and folded them carefully.
“I liked designing clothes when I was a child. At the earliest, I wanted to be a designer. But my mother didn’t agree, saying that the only way out was to study, so I studied secretly. But as you know my family’s conditions, I never had any spare time. I was asked to practice on the fabrics. When I saw the tailor shop last time, I suddenly thought, could I tell it and let the tailor do it? I didn’t expect the effect to be so good.”
Two days after sending Wang Yao away, Ye Ning received notification of selection from the pharmaceutical company.
“Congratulations to Comrade Ye Ning for becoming a member of our Everbright Pharmaceuticals. From now on, we will be colleagues. If you have any difficulties, please come to me.” The woman who named Ye Ning during the written examination said enthusiastically to Ye Ning.
“Thank you, Director Lin.” Ye Ning signed and officially became a worker in Everbright Pharmaceutical Factory, “I really have something to trouble you with.”
Director Lin asked with a smile: “What is it, tell me.”
“I haven’t been back to my hometown for almost two months in order to take the college entrance examination and the exam at our factory, so I wanted to go back to my hometown first. One is because I really miss my family, and the other is because I want to tell my family the good news of being admitted to Everbright.” Ye Ning looked at Director Lin expectantly.
“What else should I do? Don’t worry, the factory will give employees three days to settle down. Since you live far away, I can approve you a few more days.” Director Lin was very easy to talk to.
“No, three days is enough. Thank you, Director Lin.” Ye Ning wanted to go back to see her younger siblings and tell them about her situation so as not to worry them.
