Chapter 136: Temporary Worker Quota at the Pharmaceutical Factory

Captain waved his hand and hurriedly said, “It’s appropriate, I should be.”

Yuan Weicheng looked around at the people in the room and said, “Coincidentally, I have a temporary worker quota at the Ji Pharmaceutical Factory here. Are you interested?”

The Gao family members were stunned when they heard Yuan Weicheng’s words, but once they reacted, they became excited.

Captain Gao Jiefang scratched his head and said, “Isn’t this inappropriate?”

Yuan Weicheng looked at Captain and said, “Don’t feel burdened. I happen to have this quota on hand. If I don’t give it to you, I’ll give it to someone else. Besides, Luo Qiao doesn’t want to go to Beijing with me, just help me take care of Luo Qiao more in the future.”

The Gao family members were so excited that they didn’t know what to say.

After Yuan Weicheng finished speaking, he and Luo Qiao bid farewell and left together.

As for who from the Gao family would go?

They could decide for themselves. Tomorrow morning, they would follow him to the city to handle the procedures.

Luo Qiao didn’t know that after they left, the Gao family discussed until midnight. Their youngest son was serving in the military elsewhere, their youngest daughter was currently working at a county tavern, but they still had their eldest son and second son at home.

In fact, according to Captain Gao Jiefang’s idea, he wanted the second son to go, so that the eldest son could support them in their old age in the village in the future. However, he was afraid that the eldest son and his wife might have objections.

Finally, it was Qiao Lanlan, the mother, who said, “Let’s draw lots. Let luck decide. No one should have any objections.”

In the end, Gao Baozhu, the eldest son of the Gao family, drew the quota. After a long silence, he said, “Let the second brother go. I’m the eldest son, so I’ll stay here in the village to take care of Mom and Dad.”

Gao Baozhu’s wife, Song Jiao, was somewhat unhappy to hear this. Although it was a temporary job, there was also a chance to become permanent. It could provide security for their own son and offer him opportunities for the future.

The second brother Gao Baoqing said, “Big brother, we agreed to leave it to luck. You should go. I can take care of Mom and Dad at home just fine. Don’t worry. Besides, isn’t my sister-in-law still at home?

Ji City isn’t far from our home. You can come back when you have time off. And if it becomes permanent in the future, you can pass it on to Hongwen.”

Second daughter-in-law Feng Qiaohui was initially angry when she heard her husband refuse, but hearing about the future succession suddenly made her not dare to make any trouble. After all, she had only given birth to a daughter so far.

That settled the matter. Song Jiao hurried back to prepare the things her husband would need for tomorrow.

Lu Yichen and Yuan Weicheng also talked for half the night. Lu Yichen asked Yuan Weicheng to keep it a secret for him. He didn’t want to go back yet; he was fine staying here.

The next day, Lu Yichen got up early and tidied up the room where Luo Qiao had previously stayed. He took the bedding in the room and placed it where it could be exposed to the sun.

After preparing everything, he greeted Luo Qiao and then went to the center to pick up Shitou.

Shitou had been waiting for Lu Yichen to pick him up since before dawn. The old director had already drained the blisters on his back. Last night, the old director examined the burn medicine and confirmed that it was indeed better than the center’s medicine.

When Lu Yichen and the others arrived, the old director had already checked Shitou and found no issues. However, after returning to the village, Shitou would still need intravenous treatment to prevent the heat from causing inflammation.

When Lu Yichen went to settle the bill, he was refunded six yuan and thirty cents. After inquiring with the person in charge of billing, he found out that the ten yuan Luo Qiao had given to Doctor Gao had been left with the accountant.

The accountant was instructed to keep the money on hand. If the Sun family paid for additional treatment, the ten yuan would be kept aside. If no one paid for additional treatment, the money would be used to cover the costs.
