Chapter 13 Going to work

"Dad, why do you practice abacus?" Jiang Xiuxiu asked Jiang He. She had a lot of things to do now, so where did she find the time to practice abacus? Besides, it had been so long that she had forgotten it.

"Here's the thing. Our village's accountant, Lao Wu, has always been both an accountant and a scorer. Recently, he told me that doing two jobs was too tiring and he couldn't handle it. He asked the village to select another scorer. You don't have much to do at home. You go to work for three days fishing and two days drying the nets. This time, you should seize the opportunity and get the scorer job."

Although the accountant Lao Wu asked to select a scorer, the cunning Jiang He did not agree at the time and said he would think about it.

But in his heart, Jiang He has already started to plan the candidate for the scorekeeper, that is, his daughter Jiang Xiuxiu.

Scorer, Jiang Xiuxiu curled her lips. If it was her in her previous life, she would definitely be tempted. After all, scorekeepers get high work points, are not exposed to the wind and rain, and do not need to sell their labor, just move the pen.

But now she is thinking about how to save more money, and then leave the countryside and go to the city as soon as possible to develop her own business.

It's a pity that she can't do business now, and she has to wait for several years. However, as far as she knows, there seems to be a black market in the county, where there are many people who do business, and many people still make a lot of money. Jiang Xiuxiu is a little tempted.

But she has no money now. Jiang Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and put more strength in her hands: "Dad, scorekeeper is a good job, but will there be many people who want to do it? What if I can't get it?"

Jiang He frowned. Although he was the captain, he couldn't just give the scorekeeper job to his daughter. Old Wu also said before that scorekeeper is a delicate job. Not only must you be educated, but you must also be able to use an abacus. He plans to select from the whole village.

And the young people in the village went to school with Jiang Xiuxiu when they were young, so they naturally learned to use an abacus. Although few people went to junior high school like Jiang Xiuxiu, there are some.

Everyone knows that scorekeeper is a good job, so naturally others will not let it go easily.

So there may be a competition at that time, and the one with the best ability will get the scorekeeper job.

But Jiang Xiuxiu is his daughter, and she knew the news earlier than the villagers, so she can practice in advance and make more thorough preparations than others.

"You already knew it before others, so you are not better than others?" Jiang He tilted his head and glanced at Jiang Xiuxiu.

Jiang Xiuxiu gritted her teeth, a little unconvinced, "Dad, you can't say that, there are people who are better than you, and I can't guarantee that I am the best."

"Then what do you want to do?"

It's done, Jiang Xiuxiu raised her lips, "Dad, why don't I go to the county to find the teacher who taught me abacus before to learn from him, pay some money, and let him teach me a few tricks."

Jiang He pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible." Pay some money first, and when Xiuxiu gets this job, she can earn it back during the Chinese New Year, and before Jiang Xiuxiu gets married, she can continue to make money for the family, so this investment is not a loss.

"Thank you, Dad, then I will go to find a teacher to learn today." Jiang Xiuxiu smiled and said, but she thought in her heart that she would not go, and she would get the money first.
