Chapter 62 The Hidden Benefits of Milk Delivery

It turned out that Jia Zhang was not very happy about Qin Jingru eating and drinking for free in her house, not helping her with work, and even going to help Wu Zhen with work.

However, out of consideration for Qin Huairu's face, Jia Zhang could only sullenly face and secretly mutter behind her back.

However, when Jia Zhang saw that Qin Jingru got the job of a milkman introduced by Wu Zhen, she suddenly became very enthusiastic.

Jia Zhang also took the initiative to ask Banggeng to help Qin Jingru with directions in the Nanluoguxiang community, deliver milk together, and help with some odd jobs.

When she heard that Qin Jingru agreed to give half of her wages as meal expenses at the Jia family and as compensation for Banggeng's hard work, Jia Zhang's old face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum.

The job of delivering milk requires getting up very early, before dawn, and also calculating the route for delivering milk.

In addition, every household that orders milk has a milk ordering card. The milkman must deliver milk according to the milk ordering card and keep a record of the milk bottles.

Because Nanluoguxiang is a civilian community, although there are tens of thousands of people, there are not many families who order milk. There are only about a hundred households that order milk, and they are distributed in various alleys.

However, because a few wealthy families order two bottles of milk, we have to deliver about two hundred bottles of milk a day.

The milk boxes of this era had no locks. They were actually just wooden boxes that could hold just two bottles of milk.

However, people in this era are of higher quality and very few people steal milk. But there are some naughty children who do not steal milk but secretly take away the rubber band on the milk bottle!

There is an unwritten hidden benefit of delivering milk, which is that when you are delivering milk, sometimes the owner is away on a business trip. Then when you deliver milk on the third day and see the milk from the previous day, the bottle of milk becomes yours.

Because the milk box can only hold two bottles of milk, and only the freshest milk, the bottle of milk from the day before yesterday belonged to the milkman, because milk bottles need to be recycled.

At this time, there is no concept of food expiration. As long as it is not spoiled, you can either drink it directly or cook it at home before drinking it.

So the Jia family could sometimes drink free milk, which made other neighbors in the courtyard envious.

Wu Zhen didn't care about the money anyway, so he ordered a bottle of milk, and Lou Xiao'e in the backyard also ordered a bottle of milk.

However, other neighbors were reluctant to spend the money to order milk, saying that it would be more cost-effective to buy eggs with the money!

At first, many people in the courtyard were secretly laughing at Qin Jingru for being stupid. It was not until she got the job as a milkman that they understood why she did that.

It turns out that she did this in order to make the "fool" Wu Zhen owe her a favor, so that Wu Zhen, who owed her a favor, would help her find a job that was easy and profitable!

The one who gave Qin Jingru the idea behind the scenes must be Qin Huairu. Didn't you see Banggeng helping Qin Jingru deliver milk? The Jia family must have a share of this benefit!

However, some people in the courtyard vaguely guessed Qin Huairu's plan. On the surface, she wanted to introduce Qin Jingru to He Yuzhu for a blind date, but in fact, she wanted Qin Jingru to marry Wu Zhen.

Once the sisters marry into Wu Zhen's stable, wouldn't they be able to live a good life?

What's more, if it fails, Qin Huairu will not suffer any loss. If it succeeds, she, Qin Huairu, will be the biggest contributor. How can she be left out of the benefits?

Not to mention anything else, Wu Zhen found Qin Jingru a good job delivering milk just because she helped with housework, and Qin Huairu's family all benefited from it.

If they really became a family, Qin Jingru would have directly joined a good unit. Rural household registration would not be a problem at all for the children of high-ranking officials, right?

Moreover, this time when he helped Qin Jingru find a job, he just gave a heads-up to the street office. Wu Zhen didn't even know what kind of job he had found for Qin Jingru.

In addition, it was Director Wang from the Street Office who came in person to inform them of this matter. At first, the three old men in the courtyard didn't know what was going on and why Director Wang had to come in person.

Unexpectedly, just because Wu Zhen mentioned it casually, Director Wang was invited to come and take charge of the matter personally, and he also helped to select a lucrative job among the temporary workers.

After this incident, everyone also understood from the side the weight of Wu Zhen’s casual words.

Just a casual remark could cause a leader at the town government level to come in person to help arrange work, while Wu Zhen himself had no idea about the situation. What does this show?

The smart people in the courtyard started to have some ideas, but what made them depressed was that Wu Zhen didn't seem to need their help, and the job of helping with housework had been taken away by Qin Jingru.
