Chapter 275 Envy
When Xu Sui first arrived at the military base, there were still a lot of things to deal with, such as arranging and organizing her new home, finding a job, dealing with her two children's schooling, and Du Mei's wedding, among other things.
They all need to be resolved as soon as possible.
Especially regarding Du Mei's marriage, although the old lady didn't say it, she was actually very worried and always concerned about it.
I didn't have a chance to mention this to Qin Yunzhou last night, but I definitely have to today. I know a lot of unmarried men in the army and I know their character. I'm sure I can find a good match for Du Mei.
Not long after I finished eating, someone knocked on the door.
So Du Mei was teaching her two children to read when she went to open the door.
The door opened, and there stood a young and beautiful woman in her twenties or thirties.
Lu Mei was taken aback. She had just arrived at the army and didn't recognize the person in front of her, so she asked, "Excuse me, who are you...?"
Yang Yun looked into the room and said softly, "I'm Xu Sui's former colleague. I've come to see her. Is she home?"
Meanwhile, inside the house, Xu Sui, who was teaching two children to read, heard a familiar voice. She subconsciously looked up and saw Yang Yun. She then spoke to the two children.
"Mom has something to do, you guys study on your own."
She got up, walked to the door, welcomed the person in, and sat down on the sofa.
"Come in, come in and sit down. I was thinking of tidying up the house and coming to visit you, but I didn't expect you to come here first."
"It's alright, it's the same if I come to see you." Yang Yun smiled, sat down, and looked around at Xu Sui's home.
The house wasn't as big as theirs, perhaps because they had just moved in, and it was quite simple, lacking many things, making it seem somewhat empty.
However, it was cleaned very thoroughly, showing that it was done with care.
"Are these two your children? They're so cute. I can't believe how much time has flown by. Are they twins?" Yang Yun looked at the brother and sister who were diligently practicing calligraphy on the table, a hint of envy flashing through her mind.
"Yes, they are twins, a boy and a girl." Xu Sui beckoned the two children over. "Come here, Yan Yan, Yao Yao, this is your Aunt Yang. Quickly, call her Aunt Yang."
The two children immediately stopped what they were doing, looked up, blinked their eyes, and greeted her in their sweet, childish voices, "Hello, Aunt Yang."
Yang Yun smiled and said, "Good, you're such a good boy."
"By the way, the reason I came here is to ask you about the kindergarten in our military base. They need a teacher, and I think you'd be a good fit. Would you like to give it a try for an interview?"
Most of the family members in the residential compound came from the countryside and were not very educated. Many of them were even illiterate. Occasionally, some of them were highly educated and were usually assigned to be primary or junior high school teachers.
Finding a teacher for a daycare center is not easy, because the children in daycare centers are very young, and the teachers needed not only need to be educated, but also need to be able to take good care of so many children.
This leads to a very heavy workload and is very tiring.
Military spouses with high levels of education do not choose to work in nurseries.
Next time, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting people with education levels below junior high school teach my child.
She left the performing arts troupe several years ago and now works as the deputy director of a nursery, where she is in charge of these matters.
Yang Yun had been worried about this for a long time, but unexpectedly, Xu Sui came back.
She remembered that Xu Sui had a high school diploma, making her one of the most educated people in the family compound.
Xu Sui was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised, and shook her head, saying:
"I'm sorry, I already have a job."
Yang Yun was taken aback. "You have a job? What kind of job?"
Xu Sui had resigned from the performing arts troupe voluntarily. In addition, she was already married, had a child, and was no longer a teenage girl.
It's practically impossible for him to rejoin the performing arts troupe.
There are very few positions available for family members in the military. Most of these family members are unemployed and stay at home to take care of the children and the family.
Unless the military dependents have a high level of education or a strong background, they may be assigned to work in military schools or military service organizations such as supply and marketing cooperatives.
Xu Sui didn't hide anything from Yang Yun, after all, her job had already been arranged when she came to join the army.
"I worked as a technician at the Nanshan Machinery Factory in a nearby county town."
She originally had a job in Beijing, so her move here wasn't exactly a resignation, but rather a relocation with the military.
Before making the decision to accompany the army, she had already discussed this matter with Qin Yunzhou.
Qin Yunzhou then submitted a report, which was then handled by the political department of the division within the military. This contacted the local personnel bureau in Nanshan County, and she was eventually assigned to work as a technician at the Nanshan Machinery Factory.
The job title remains unchanged at level 13 technician, and the salary also remains the same at 55 yuan per month.
In a few days, she only needs to take her documents to report for duty. The only downside is that the county town is quite far from the military base, so she needs to buy a 28-inch motorcycle.
Yang Yun was stunned, and it took him a long time to react. "A technician? A technician from the machine factory?"
Moreover, it was a military relocation.
Military transfers are not easy; the conditions are very strict, and the number of available positions is extremely limited.
Among the family members who came to accompany the military in the family compound, there were several who had jobs in their hometowns and wanted to apply for transfer to accompany the military, but none of them were successful because the military did not have enough positions for them.
"Yes, this is the position." Xu Sui nodded.
Yang Yun's gaze towards Xu Sui became more complex. After a moment, she slowly spoke:
"How did you suddenly become a technician in a machine factory? I remember that's a technical position, not something just anyone can do."
"Aren't you a dancer?"
You need to have real skills and technical expertise to be called a technician.
These days, having a skill or trade is the real livelihood, a secure job. No one will starve, especially those with skills and expertise.
Xu Sui smiled and said, "Over the years, I went to university and worked in a machinery factory, which was a good fit for my major. After graduating, I successfully found a job and then applied for a transfer to the military."
"Compared to dancing, being a technician is my profession."
Yang Yun's eyes widened in surprise, almost thinking she had misheard.
"You...you went to university, did I hear that right?"
"Didn't you get married and have kids all these years ago? Why are you suddenly going to university? Are you kidding me?"
University, that's a university! Among all the military wives in their entire family compound, there's only one university graduate.
It's not surprising that someone from a good background, from a big city, is a college student.
But Xu Sui... she's already married and has such a grown child. She used to be their colleague in the same performing arts troupe.
How did you suddenly become a college student?
