CHAPTER 1069: CHAPTER 1069: WORK

Before she could speak, An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao approached her for a conversation.

Bai Na was sitting with her child under the grapevine arbor, while Bai Xiao and An Zhiyuan sat across from her.

Seeing Bai the doctor and An, such a compatible couple, Bai Na felt a bit ashamed. She had nothing and couldn’t even contribute any effort.

The city isn’t very kind, and treats those from the countryside unfriendly.

"Bai Na, your brother-in-law has something to say to you."

Bai Xiao smiled at Bai Na. This girl has been worried these past few days, unable to relax her eyebrows. Watching her unable to eat even daily meals made him uncomfortable too.

Only someone with a conscience would feel this way.

Bai Na quietly called out, brother-in-law.

She was somewhat afraid of facing Second Lieutenant Zhiyuan. An Zhiyuan carried an aura that made people feel small, and facing him made Bai Na feel like a mouse meeting a cat. As long as An Zhiyuan was home, Bai Na wished to hide in the room and never come out.

"Bai Na, I know you’ve been looking for a job these past few days, but you haven’t found one, right?"

Bai Na bit her lip and shook her head, "No!"

"On the day you arrived, Bai the doctor told me about your situation and your difficulties. We all discussed it; given your current conditions, it’s probably hard to find a job. Your elder sister begged me to think of a solution for you.

I went back to inquire, and finally got some news today. The job may not be great, quite dirty, hard, and tiring, and it’s temporary work."

I’m going to say the harsh words upfront.

Bai Na’s eyes lit up, and she said urgently, "Brother-in-law, I’m not afraid of hardship, dirt, or tiredness. As long as I have a job that allows me to have food to eat and earn some milk money for Xiaobao, I can do any work."

It’s like grasping a lifeline.

Bai Na didn’t remember how terrifying An Zhiyuan was at this moment. As soon as this conversation began, An Zhiyuan rose tall in Bai Na’s heart, and Bai the doctor was simply a fairy, Guanyin Bodhisattva, basically all the kindest, most powerful deities from heaven to earth.

Looking at An Zhiyuan’s serious demeanor, Bai Xiao discontentedly nudged him, "Come on, An Brother, our Bai Na is almost burning with anxiety."

An Zhiyuan glanced at Bai Xiao, "It’s at the affiliated farm, there’s a chicken farm. Generally, family members are unwilling to work there because it’s quite remote in the mountainous areas, not in the urban district, and families don’t want to leave home and want to be with their husbands.

Moreover, the chicken farm requires only two or three people. The workload is heavy and the conditions are quite simple. However, the best advantage is you can move there with your child, there’s a place to stay and eat, but you’ll have to cook for yourself.

The other two colleagues at the chicken farm are disabled elders from here. After I mentioned your situation, they thought it would suit you to go there. On one hand, you can live separately with a room, which is convenient for bringing a child. Also, the work conditions allow you to bring a child without issues. Though it’s temporary work, as long as you work for three years and perform outstandingly, you’ll have the opportunity to transition to a regular job.

As for the salary, temporary workers get only 180 yuan a month, but every month grain is provided for free and the farm has its own plots for you to grow vegetables. In general, food and lodging are free of charge.

Consider if you want to go or not?"

There’s no need to consider at all. Bai Na immediately stood up with her child.

"Brother-in-law, I’ll go! Why wouldn’t I go for such a great opportunity falling from the sky? Even if it’s just 180 yuan a month, I’d do it even if it’s only a few dozen yuan. In our village, it would probably take a whole year to earn 50 yuan, while I’m earning several years’ salary in a month, why wouldn’t I go?" Bai Na was practically tearfully grateful.

Just like catching a pie falling from the sky, Brother-in-law actually says it’s hard, dirty, and tiring. In their village, men and women work and who doesn’t face hardship, dirt, and tiredness?

It’s just raising chickens, after all.

They’ve raised chickens at home before, if this work is called dirty and tiring, and if she still nitpicks, then she’d be unquestionably ungrateful.

An Zhiyuan watched Bai Na truly happy, almost wanting to jump up three feet high to celebrate.

"That’s good, if you think it’ll work, then pack your things today. Early tomorrow, I’ll drive you there, and then they’ll have a transport truck going to the chicken farm for feeding deliveries, it’ll take you there and you can see what’s needed and what’s missing. Bai the doctor will prepare everything for you; your elder sister probably can’t bear to see you or the child suffer, she’ll definitely pack a huge bag for you."

Bai Na shook her head because how come Brother-in-law’s words sound so sour?

She grinned, revealing her only happy smile since reaching here. This smile showed her relaxed brows, so bright.

"Bai the doctor, you don’t need to bring me anything, I have luggage myself, I’ll take the child there just fine."

She’s already enough trouble for Bai the doctor and An Zhiyuan, if she also takes food and supplies from them, it would be inappropriate, just like those hooligans from her village, people like that would get their spines snapped by villagers.

Bai Xiao nudged An Zhiyuan, daring to tease her.

"I won’t bring much for you, just some formula for Xiaobao. I don’t need to worry about what you eat or drink, as there’s food and drink provided there, you won’t starve but this little one surely can’t be taken care of by them. Besides, from the sound of it, it’s a remote place where formula might be hard to find.

Let’s take advantage of the daylight; we’ll go out and buy formula for the baby, then you pack up when we get back."

Bai Xiao hasn’t planned on buying a lot, adults can adapt but children can’t, especially this child who is barely over three months old.

These past few days, perhaps because Bai Xiao slowly added formula for the baby, over a few days this child seemed like a balloon being inflated, gradually growing plump, the complexion becoming pale and tender, appearing smarter and more active.

Perhaps the past months the child had been starving, she herself had no energy.

So Bai Xiao decided to ensure the child had a proper food supply.

Tonight she’ll educate Bai Na on supplemental nutrition knowledge for the baby. Though in her previous life she didn’t have a child, it didn’t stop her from liking children.

At that time, she indeed watched some videos on supplementing nutrition for babies, and in the following decades, children’s lives became increasingly superior.

The supplemental nutrition for children was varied and meticulous.
