Chapter 938 The Honest Girl Who Went Crazy (13)
When Lu Qingzhi heard Mu Zhou say he was looking for a job, she subconsciously thought of the man in military uniform on the train.
His stern eyes and cold demeanor didn't make him seem like the type to dote on his wife.
No wonder she came from afar to join the army and still had to think about how to support herself.
Lu Qingzhi paused, then suddenly said:
Are you looking for a job?
"I want to, but I can't find one, and I don't have a degree."
He spoke mysteriously:
"You can do whatever you want, leave it to me. Wait until tomorrow, I'll give you a definite answer tomorrow."
Seeing the certainty in his voice, Mu Zhou felt a glimmer of hope.
"Thank you then."

The next day, Lu Qingzhi actually took her directly to Beicheng University.
Mu Zhou suddenly stopped in his tracks at the school gate.
Is this a place she can enter?
"Come on, we're still inside."
“…Lu classmate, did I forget to tell you that I didn’t even finish junior high school?”
Lu Qingzhi smiled, grabbed her arm, and walked towards the campus.
"You told me that, and I remember. Don't worry, come with me."
Lu Qingzhi led her all the way to the library.
The head of the library is Lu Qingzhi's aunt, and there just so happens that they need a librarian here.
Although it's not a formal employee position, it's still a job at the school, which sounds good, isn't too tiring, and is sheltered from the wind and rain—it's a highly sought-after job.
"It's just a job, it's quite trivial. I need to clean and organize books. But lunch is provided, and I get off work early. It's not much, only fifty yuan a month."
Mu Zhourang was naturally satisfied with these conditions.
The support staff arrived quickly, greeted Lu Qingzhi, and only asked Mu Zhou one question:
Can you read?
"I recognize it."
When Mu Zhou was in the countryside, she was busy with farm work and didn't have much time to study, but she was indeed smart and learned to read very quickly.
She remembers almost everything that was taught in school.
The logistics teacher nodded:
"That's fine."
So they agreed that he could officially start work tomorrow.
When Mu Zhou left Beicheng University, he still felt a little unreal.
She actually got a job just like that.
Still at Beicheng University.
She couldn't help but tell Lu Qing:
"I'll definitely treat you to a meal when I get my salary."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Mu Zhou happily returned to the family compound.
On the other side, after Gu Huaiyuan got home from get off work, he habitually rolled up his sleeves and started cooking.
During this period, he has been the one cooking.
As he was working, he suddenly remembered what Mu Zhou had said.
She clearly said she would come and serve him well.
But in reality, he washes the clothes and cooks the meals.
So... where is the care?
He couldn't help but recall the political commissar's teasing remark during a training break.
"Huaiyuan looks great lately. It's true what they say, marriage really does take care of you. Your wife is taking very good care of you."
The political commissar's tone was slightly ambiguous when he used the word "take care of," and his eyes were sarcastic.
Although Gu Huaiyuan didn't want to understand, he instantly grasped the political commissar's meaning.
He felt a tightness in his chest, a stifling and itchy sensation, and couldn't help but think of the night he was drugged.
Someone may seem brave and reckless, but is actually a coward.
Thinking of the word "care" again, Gu Huaiyuan chuckled.
take care of?
He's more likely to take care of Mu Zhou.
The dishes were prepared, but Mu Zhou had not yet returned.
He remembered Mu Zhou saying that he was going to the city today with some people he knew from the compound.
He didn't know when she would be back, so he didn't start cooking right away.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mu Zhou's coat lying outside.
She was wearing clothes that had been watered yesterday, and they were covered in mud.
Gu Huaiyuan casually took it off and washed it along with his own clothes.
Just as Mu Zhou was hanging up the laundry, he pushed the door open and came back.
"Second Brother Gu, you're back so early today."
She looked cheerful; she must have had a great time today.
Gu Huaiyuan grunted in agreement and went back to the kitchen to start cooking.
After washing his hands, Mu Zhou hurriedly followed him in to help, talking about the day's events.
"I found a job!"
She shared it happily.
This means that she can earn money and support herself.
Gu Huaiyuan listened attentively, and after analyzing and judging, he did not find any problems for the time being.
It's a pretty good job, not too tiring, and the people I interact with are all students.
She is simple-minded and innocent, and this kind of environment suits her well.
Upon hearing her monthly salary, Gu Huaiyuan silently calculated it in his mind.
That's really not a lot.
However, he also gives her his monthly allowance, which should be enough for her.
So when Mu Zhou asked for his opinion, he nodded and said:
"If you like it, just go."
However, he still plans to personally see her off tomorrow.
Regardless, it was her first job, and he had to make sure it was safe.
Otherwise, if anything happens to her, it will be his responsibility.
Mu Zhou was naturally happy to hear that he was willing to give her a ride.
"I'll treat you to Peking duck when I get paid!"
A slight smile played on Gu Huaiyuan's lips:
"Then I'll wait."

The next morning, Gu Huaiyuan took Mu Zhou to Beicheng University.
He only left after confirming that there were no problems.
After seeing this, Ms. Xu, the logistics staff member, asked her:
"Is that your husband? Is he an officer?"
Seeing Mu Zhou nod, she smiled and said:
"Your husband is so kind; he even came to see you off on your first day of work."
Mu Zhou lowered her head shyly:
“I just came from the countryside, and he’s worried about me.”
Teacher Xu is more than ten years older than Mu Zhou. She has a mild temperament and is easy to get along with.
I didn't ask Mu Zhou to do anything all day, just to clean the house and wipe the bookshelves.
The day ended quickly.
After get off work, Gu Huaiyuan noticed that she didn't seem sad, so he knew she was having a good time in class and didn't ask any more questions.
Mu Zhou is very adaptable; in just a few days, she had already sorted out her work.
Her classmates were all easy to get along with and respected her.
In my spare time, I can also read novels.
She couldn't understand those obscure professional books, but she enjoyed reading some novels and short articles.
That day, after cleaning, she leaned against the bookshelf in the corner and intently read a Hong Kong and Taiwan novel.
She was engrossed in reading when she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye. She turned around and saw Lu Qingzhi standing not far away with a notebook in her hand.
Seeing her turn her head, he instinctively hid the notebook behind his back, feeling guilty.
Mu Zhou walked over with a puzzled look. Under her watchful gaze, Lu Qingzhi's ears turned red, and she took it out on her own initiative.
"I'm sorry, I saw this scene and found it so beautiful that I couldn't help but draw it."
He didn't know why, but every time he saw Mu Zhou, he felt as if she was covered by a halo.
Every shadow on her face was so perfect.
Mu Zhou glanced at the painting in his hand, but didn't seem to care much.
"It's quite pretty, give me this one."
The previous one disappeared after Gu Huaiyuan took it; she actually really wanted to keep it.
Lu Qingzhi relaxed a little when he saw that she wasn't angry:
"It was originally a painting of you, so I'm giving it to you if you like it."
Mu Zhou admired it one last time before carefully putting it away.
After getting off work, Gu Huaiyuan, as usual, had already arrived home and started cooking.
Mu Zhou tossed her handbag onto the table and was about to head to the kitchen when Sister Yan came to bring her something.
She wiped her hands:
"Here comes Sister Yan."
Gu Huaiyuan brought out a plate of food and saw Mu Zhou's handbag on the table. He picked it up and prepared to take it to her room.
As soon as I picked it up, a piece of paper fell out.
He picked it up, and froze the moment he saw it.
