Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 200 - 199: Two Job Quotas

Ever since Ningning got married, she’s sent back so many things from the Northwest Military Region.

Especially those rare cans of milk powder, she sends back several at a time.

How could Yang Manman and Su Miao not be grateful?

"Why don’t we call Ningning now and tell her?"

"Sure."

Thus, in the Sang Family of Beijing City, Gu Jia Ning quickly received a call from her parents, who told her about the job opportunities.

"Dad, Mom, just allocate those two job positions to my brothers and sisters-in-law as you see fit," Gu Jia Ning said happily, knowing the county leaders provided two job quotas.

She didn’t need them herself, but her brothers and sisters-in-law could use them.

In this life, Gu Jia Ning hoped to assist her family when she had the means.

After all, she felt she owed them too much in her past life.

"Alright, alright, Ningning, your dad and mom will listen to you, don’t worry, your brothers and sisters-in-law are not ungrateful people."

"Dad, Mom, how could I not know about my brothers and sisters-in-law?"

"That’s good."

After hanging up, Yao Chunhua and her husband returned home with joy.

When all the Gu Family members gathered, the couple immediately announced the good news about the two job quotas.

The Gu Family was shocked!

They were already proud of their younger sister for making it into the newspaper.

Unexpectedly, because of her, their family could benefit.

In those days, a job was like gold—a stable position that could be passed down, coveted by everyone, rural or urban.

Jobs at the grain station and supply and marketing cooperative were the choicest of all.

Positions that money couldn’t necessarily buy.

And now, because of their little sister, they got them for free.

"Ningning already said, these two positions can be allocated by us old folks as we see fit," Yao Chunhua stated authoritatively.

"What do you three think?"

Yao Chunhua and Old Man Gu looked toward their three sons and two daughters-in-law.

At this moment, the eldest son, Gu Yunting, exchanged a glance with his heavily pregnant wife, Yang Manman.

Then Gu Yunting spoke first, "Mom, Dad, we don’t need this job opportunity."

"Firstly, I have a job, and besides, with Manman about to give birth, she’ll likely need to take care of the baby, so these two jobs should go to the second and third brothers."

Yang Manman nodded, "Yes, I think so too."

If her husband didn’t have a job, Yang Manman would have certainly hoped for one.

However, her husband already had a job at the steel mill, and after giving birth, her energy would be more focused on childcare, so she didn’t need a job.

Thus, the two job positions were more suitable for the two younger brothers-in-law.

Gu Yunan and Gu Yunzhou had no objections.

Eventually, it was decided that Gu Yunan and Gu Yunzhou would take the two job positions.

Gu Yunan would work at the grain station, while Gu Yunzhou at the supply and marketing cooperative.

After all, physical strength was best suited for working at the grain station.

Among the three brothers, Gu Yunan had the greatest physical strength.

Upon returning to her room, Su Miao, holding her baby, was full of excitement and joy.

"A nan, I never thought we could also have a stable job one day," Su Miao had thought they might farm all their lives.

Indeed, farming wasn’t too bad, as Gu Yunan was strong and earned full work credits daily.

However, having a job was certainly better than working in the fields.

Especially a job at the grain station.

"Yes, I didn’t expect it either."

Jobs were coveted by everyone; he envied his elder brother when he got a job back then.

Even though he was strong, given a chance to work in a factory, who would choose to labor outside in the elements?

But that job was earned by his elder brother through his own efforts.

Gu Yunan never dared to hope, aware that he couldn’t handle such a job.

Yet, unexpectedly, he now had a job, a much-desired position at the grain station.

"A nan, we must remember our little sister-in-law’s kindness; it’s because of her we got these jobs," said Su Miao.

Gu Yunan nodded quickly, "I know, Ningning has been too good to us."

"She sent so much milk powder before for you and Zhuangzhuang, and now we’ve got jobs thanks to her. We must remember this kindness and stay grounded."

Holding the chubby, over-six-month-old Zhuangzhuang in her arms, Su Miao told him: "Zhuangzhuang, did you hear? Your aunt has been very kind to us; you must be filial to her in the future, okay?"

Meanwhile, Gu Yunzhou also returned to his room and began writing a letter to Gu Jia Ning.

Regarding the job opportunity, Gu Yunzhou felt deeply grateful.

He swore to always be there for his little sister whenever she needed him.

As he wrote, the village broadcast began to play.

It was the village secretary reading the newspaper report about Gu Jia Ning...

Gu Yunzhou listened intently, a smile spreading across his face.

Meanwhile, the villagers, after hearing the broadcast, were buzzing with excitement.

Soon, they all made their way to the Gu Family, leading to a rare and festive scene as most of the village gathered to congratulate them...

-

In Beijing, after finishing her lecture, Gu Jia Ning returned to the Sang Family.

The next day, official representatives came looking for her.

The reason, of course, was related to Elder Chen’s previous mention of a reward for her.

Because of her outstanding contributions to the country’s medical field.

First, she was awarded the title of professor.

Then, they wanted to reward her.

Regarding the reward, there were two choices.

One was a cash reward of 5,000 yuan, the other was a piece of land in Beijing—about one mu in size.

Naturally, they hoped Gu Jia Ning would choose the latter.

In those times, money was scarce, and land was abundant.

Much needed for development across the nation.

However, since they provided options, their hopes aside, the choice was still up to Gu Jia Ning.

After considering...

A plot of land in Beijing...

Gu Jia Ning, having been reborn, knew all too well the outrageous rise in property prices in the future.

Especially in a capital city like Beijing.

Seeing the one mu allocated to her, even within the third ring—one mu!

The future value wouldn’t be cheap at all.

Although 5,000 yuan seemed a lot then, given workers earned merely dozens per month.

But the future value of the land was way beyond that.

Money wasn’t an issue for her right now.

So...

"I’ll choose the one mu of land."

Upon hearing her choice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, I’ll arrange the paperwork for the transfer in the next few days."

"Good."

When she finally received the property rights to the one mu and saw her name on it, Gu Jia Ning felt pure elation...

She thought that, with the several Beijing courtyard houses, small villas, shops, and land she currently owned, her future could almost be worry-free.
