Zhu Xiaomin found it funny, and she discussed the next work arrangement with He Lanfang at the brigade headquarters, and then returned to the educated youth point. As soon as she entered the yard, Miao Shiwen came up to her, smiled and held her hand: "I thought you wouldn't be back until next month."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled, "With the corn experimental field, I can't help but come here. It just so happens that the food factory is recruiting workers." Seeing that Lu Yi had squeezed onto Xie Jing's crib, rocking on the fence, his little butt bouncing back and forth, and giggling, she went over to touch his little head, reached out to pick up Xie Jing, weighed him and smiled, "With this in mind, Xiao Jing is a little heavier than Xiao Yi."

Miao Shiwen nodded: "We said that just now. It seems that goat milk is better than milk powder."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "That should be the reason."

After she held Xie Jing and played for a while, Song Zhian came over, looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Xiaomin, you don't know, the newly improved corn is really good."

Zhu Xiaomin looked at him and smiled: "You couldn't help but eat it secretly, did you?"

"No way!" Song Zhian shouted, then smiled and touched his head. "We were afraid that the cornfield over there would be ruined, so the team sent people to take turns guarding it. We watched the corns grow tall and thick."

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

Zhu Xiaomin's thoughts went astray for a moment, and she chuckled, but when she met his clear eyes, she quickly stopped laughing, nodded, and said, "I told Lao Meng on the way that we should break off some corn to try while it's still young."

Song Zhian nodded happily immediately: "If we calculate the output, it's not those few."

If everyone in the team is divided, it won’t be a matter of just a few.

Zhu Xiaomin is funny.

After chatting for a while, they asked about the situation of the food factory. Xie Chengzhi said, "We have already sent out the official recruitment notice. During this period, Wenhua and others have registered their names there, and they are gradually screening them. First, those who were rejected will be screened out, and the rest will undergo a final assessment after the autumn harvest."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "We will try to finalize the first batch of recruitment list by mid-October."

Xie Chengzhi nodded: "That's our plan as well."

"And how is the school?" Zhu Xiaomin asked again.

Xie Chengzhi and Chen Danqing looked at each other and nodded. "After the readjustment, the classes of our old educated youth have been gradually reduced, and the number of people has also been reduced. Those who do not intend to compete for the teaching position have withdrawn. There are no more substitute classes. The new educated youth have taken over. Now there are only two people in class every day."

Zhu Xiaomin was puzzled: "Isn't this great? Why are your expressions so weird?"

Yang Aijun beside him sneered and said, "I'm not talking about them. You don't know, Nie Yifei and Shi Meijun are also competing to be the teacher."

Zhu Xiaomin was surprised: "The two of them?"

"Yes!" Xie Chengzhi was helpless. "They said that they also graduated from regular high schools and were educated youth. Of course, they also have the right to compete."

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "Being a teacher doesn't just require talent, it also requires moral integrity. With just the two of them, the parents of the students wouldn't agree."

Chen Danqing nodded: "We said the same thing, but Nie Yifei is easier to deal with. Shi Meijun is a stickler. She has come to school several times and insisted on substituting for me."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "How did you deal with it?"

Miao Shiwen was helpless: "What can I do? I first reported it to the brigade. Director Huang came to persuade her several times but it didn't work. Later, I secretly asked the children to call their parents, but a few sisters-in-law dragged her away."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Ignore her for now. Although the final decision on teacher assessment lies with the county education committee, I also have the right to vote. I will never let such a person enter the school."

No one was worried, just annoyed.

Zhu Xiaomin asked again: "Where are Cao Liqing and Bai Zhiru?"

Miao Shiwen shook her head: "The Fifth Brigade is unwilling to release people, so Cao Liqing may not be able to participate. But Bai Zhiru has signed up for the food factory recruitment."

Zhu Xiaomin frowned: "He is an educated youth, he should not be included in the first batch of recruitment."

At least you can run for management.

Xie Chengzhi nodded: "He should just express an intention, we will not let him be an ordinary worker."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded slightly and said helplessly: "If he enters the factory, only Cao Liqing will stay in the Fifth Brigade? I'm afraid he can only see her once a week."

Everyone listened and shook their heads silently.

Not to mention that the couple is no longer at the educated youth center, even Jiang Xingyu and Guo Xingqi who are at the educated youth center are not very clear about how they get along.

After talking for a while, everyone went about their business. Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen were working, and they chatted about some family matters: "I tore off two pieces of material. The red one is for you, and the blue one is for me. I'll make them into thin coats. They'll be perfect to wear when the weather gets cooler in a few days."

"The washed cotton is for the two little ones. The clothes will be too small after being worn twice. You can do it as you see fit."

"Everyone has saved some money in the past few years. Tell these guys to stop being so stingy and buy themselves some new clothes later."

"You should let Aunt Chen make their clothes, or send them to the county. Don't give them to you. There are too many of them. It's tiring."

She said one thing, and Miao Shiwen responded with a few words. At the end, she couldn't help laughing: "I don't have much to do, so it's okay to do it. I'll ask Xudong to ask Secretary Yan if he can get a few whole pieces of cloth. It will save a lot of material if we cut them together."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Are they all made exactly the same?"

Miao Shiwen smiled and said, "Anyway, men's clothes are either blue, black, or gray. Just choose the same as when we made cotton-padded clothes."

Zhu Xiaomin listened and nodded: "Well, forget about the ones that are soaked in water and moldy. If it's fabric with minor flaws, we can just avoid it when cutting."

Miao Shiwen nodded and continued, "Last year, in addition to Mr. Luo and his son, we used the rabbit skins to make fur coats for Xudong and a few others who often go out. This year, we have almost collected enough and can make all of them."

Zhu Xiaomin laughed: "You said you were fine, but these are more than 30 fur coats."

Miao Shiwen smiled: "With a sewing machine, it can be done quickly."

In the evening, the educated youth who had gone to work came back and saw Zhu Xiaomin and others, and it became lively again.

It was not until very late that Miao Shiwen put little Xie Jing to bed, and then she came to the next room and asked Zhu Xiaomin: "How come your family didn't know that you returned to the city?"

Knowing that Zhu Xiaofeng went to find Zhu Xiaomin, He Lanfang and Jiang Sao must know about it, so he didn't hide it from them.

Zhu Xiaomin's eyes dimmed, and after a moment of silence, she nodded: "Last time I went back, something happened, and I didn't tell anyone, and we didn't get in touch much after I came back."

Miao Shiwen was helpless: "We heard that they came to see you, so we felt strange. We didn't want to tell them about you, but we couldn't hide it, so we could only tell them which unit they were from."
