Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 659 World 119

After Yin Yin nodded, Zhou Lingling whispered to her, "My dad said their cannery is going to expand its recruitment. Although priority is given to students from the town, there are quite a few spots available this time, so they'll definitely recruit more. You can ask your brother to give it a try."

Yinyin was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Thank you, Lingling."

Zhou Lingling shook her head: "I'm just letting you know, it's not certain whether I can get on."

"Besides, it was our family that took advantage of you."

“My dad thought the pickled vegetables I brought back from your house were delicious, so he tried making some in the factory kitchen. When the supervisor saw them, all the supervisors at the factory said they tasted good and asked him to make them more often.”

Yinyin understood; they were using her family's pickled vegetable recipe in exchange for job postings.

If Zhou Lingling's father was the head chef at the town's cannery, then it's easy to understand why her cooking was better than others, and why she wasn't as greedy for meat, and why she often shared it with Yinyin.

As a chef, how could I let my family go hungry?

“Then I have to thank you and Uncle,” Yinyin said. “If it weren’t for you, my family wouldn’t have known about this job posting. This is something that a pickled vegetable recipe can’t compare to.”

Yinyin spoke so well that Zhou Lingling felt a little embarrassed.

She told Yinyin the approximate time and where to register, and then she stopped there.

Once the holiday started, Yinyin was eager to go home and rushed back.

Since everyone in the family was there, Yinyin went over to Di Heping when she saw him.

Six months ago, Di Heping had an opportunity to be transferred to work in the brigade, but before he could go, the brigade leader's son got together with an educated youth.

Di Heping's job transfer fell through, so he had no choice but to stay in the village.

Although he did everything well, he was always looking for other opportunities.

Just then, Yin Yin approached him and told him about it.

"Although it's not a sure thing, you should give it a try, bro. There's always a chance."

Di Heping nodded, then asked with some concern, "Are you and your classmate really that close? Don't compromise yourself just to help me find a job."

“No, she told me herself,” Yin Yin reminded her with a smile. “Last time I brought an extra jar of pickled vegetables as a gift for her.”

As she spoke, Yinyin repeated how Zhou Lingling's father had taken a liking to the pickled vegetables and how he had made them in the factory kitchen and received praise from the leaders.

"They're using job postings to repay a favor they did me."

Di Heping then believed it.

Summer vacation in the countryside is anything but relaxing. The work in the fields takes place all year round, and a good harvest depends on the weather.

In previous years, Yin Yin was too young, and her family felt sorry for her and told her to avoid going out in the hot sun.

But now that she's older and on holiday, she has to work in the fields to earn work points, just like her parents.

Yinyin is hardworking and efficient, and she's also a high school student. Excluding the educated youth, she's one of a kind among the locals, so naturally someone would be interested in her.

However, since Di Heping lived so close to her family, some people inevitably suspected that the Di family wanted to strengthen their ties through marriage and came to sound out Jiang Xianjun's intentions.

Jiang Xianjun denied it with a wry smile, but also refused the marriage proposal, making it clear to outsiders that her family only wanted live-in sons-in-law.

This statement discouraged many people from pursuing the idea.

There were indeed some who were willing to come to the door, but the Di family scrutinized them from appearance to character, and rejected them if they didn't meet their standards in any way. They especially ignored those who were determined to come and take advantage of the family's lack of descendants.

As a result, people outside said that his family was picky, and fewer people came to visit.

While Yinyin was at home, an aunt who wanted to play matchmaker pulled Yinyin aside and asked, "Yinyin, what kind of man do you like?"

Yinyin was startled; she was only in high school and had no intention of getting married.

"Auntie, why are you asking this? These are all decisions made by my parents."

The aunt said, "It depends on fate whether two people can be together. How can you let your parents decide? We live in a new society now, and everyone says that we advocate free love."

"Don't be shy, tell me first, and when I meet someone suitable, I'll introduce you to someone."

“Auntie, I’m still in school, so I don’t want to think about these things,” Yin Yin paused, “Besides, many places are now advocating for late marriage and late childbirth, so who knows when it might happen here.”

"But it hasn't arrived yet," her aunt insisted, demanding an answer.

Yinyin was unhappy, but she couldn't just leave, so she said seriously, "But Auntie, I'm still young. Even if I graduated from high school, I still have to start working first and put my enthusiasm and energy into the development of society."

"As for marriage, I'll definitely have to wait until I find someone who is as positive, motivated, and dedicated as I am."

After saying that, Yin Yin turned and left, giving the impression that her thoughts were not on the same level as Yin Yin's.

The aunt who was left behind by her was not angry. Instead, she said to the other person, "No wonder Yinyin was able to go to high school. She is a very bright girl. When I look at her, there is not a single young man who is a good match for her."

When the news reached Di Heping's ears, he quietly gave Yinyin a thumbs up.

Not only Yin Yin, but he's also being pressured to get married.

Although Di Heping's family may seem flawed to outsiders, he is emotionally stable, has the support of his maternal uncle's family, is only a junior high school student, and his mother is not difficult to deal with.

The key point is that he's different from ordinary country men; he knows how to take care of himself.

Everyone else is dirty, but he's always kept clean and tidy, so of course he attracts a lot of attention.

Di Heping always made excuses, saying that he was too young and wanted to save up for a few years before getting married, but matchmakers still came one after another to propose marriage to him.

Di Shulan was even persuaded several times and turned to work on Di Heping.

Fortunately, Di Heping was not easily swayed and was very persistent in his decisions, which is why the matter was delayed.

The brother and sister grew up together and are now in the same boat, so they decided to teach together. Seeing them so engrossed in their studies, outsiders naturally didn't want to bother them anymore.

When it was time for school to start again, Yinyin walked away from home and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Finally, we can hide for a while.
