Chapter 110: Civil Servants
Fang Ya walked into the yard. Shao Xiang was watering the locust tree in the yard.
As soon as she saw Fang Ya coming back, she went up to her and asked, “How was it? Did you have a good day at work?”
Fang Ya paused for a moment. There was a strange expression on her face.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you have a good day?” Shao Xiang immediately became worried.
Fang Ya shook her head. “No, it’s not that!”
As Fang Ya spoke, she took a small shovel from Shao Xiang’s hand and began to clean the weeds and soil around the locust tree.
“Then what’s going on? You’re making me anxious!”Shao Xiang walked to Fang Ya’s side and watched her busy on the ground.
Fang Ya raised her head and smiled helplessly at Shao Xiang. “I sat there for a whole day. I did absolutely nothing.”
“Ah? Why? Were you given a cold shoulder?” Shao Xiang became even more worried.
Fang Ya saw that Shao Xiang was worried, so she stood up and said to her, “Don’t worry! It’s just that the leader was in a meeting the entire day, so he didn’t give me any tasks.”
Shao Xiang heard Fang Ya’s words, and her heart immediately felt a little more at ease. “This child, I was almost scared to death by you!”
Fang Ya smiled, turned around, and squatted down to continue her work. “I did nothing the entire day. I have to do something productive here!”
Shao Xiang looked at Fang Ya’s hardworking look and could not help but shake her head with a wry smile. “Okay! Work hard! I’m going to cook.”
Fang Ya looked at Shao Xiang’s back as she left, but the words that Sister Zhai had said today lingered in her mind.
She had always felt that those who were clear about themselves were clear about themselves.
However, Fang Ya was also clear about the reason why people acted and spoke the way they did.
Moreover, working in a government building would inevitably attract attention.
She had encountered such a situation on her first day of work. What if in the future, someone like Sister Zhai went out of their way to spread rumors and others really believed her?
A person’s lie was not scary.
But if a lie was repeated enough, things could get scary!
Fang Ya thought as she poked the soil on the ground.
When Wang Xu walked in from the yard, she saw Fang Ya dealing with the soil in front of her as if she was venting her anger.
“Sister Ya, what happened to you?” Wang Xu quickly went forward to check on Fang Ya.
When Fang Ya heard Wang Xu’s voice, she turned to look at her. “Why are you here?”
Wang Xu smiled and said, “The neighborhood committee gave out some benefits. Sister Niu asked me to bring some over for you!”
Fang Ya looked at the bags in Wang Xu’s hands and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
She quickly got up and walked to the basin to wash her hands. She called Wang Xu to sit down in the house.
Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya with concern. “The girls of the Neighborhood Committee don’t know how your first day at work was like, so they asked me to come over as a representative to offer my condolences.”
Hearing Wang Xu’s concern, Fang Ya felt her eyes heat up.
Wang Xu saw that Fang Ya’s expression was a little strange, so she asked, “Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
Fang Ya shook her head and took Wang Xu’s hand. “I just missed you guys a little!”
“Sister Ya, it’s really strange to hear these words from your mouth!” Wang Xu couldn’t help but laugh.
“How is it strange! Really! The people of our Neighborhood Committee are too good!” Fang Ya could not help but sigh.
Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya’s appearance, and there was doubt in her eyes. “Are you being bullied?”
“Who is it! Tell me! I’ll go and take care of them!” Wang Xu immediately stood up and said heroically.
Seeing Wang Xu’s appearance, Fang Ya could not help but burst out laughing.
“No one is bullying me!” Fang Ya sighed. “It’s just that I can’t adapt to the new environment so quickly!”
Wang Xu thought for a moment and said, “Indeed, Sister Ya, your personality is too refined and elegant. It’s not suitable for such a chaotic environment!”
“But going to the government office is a great opportunity. You must persevere!” Wang Xu said and made a cheering gesture for Fang Ya.
Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu with a smile. “Okay! I will do my best!”
“I heard that you are preparing to take the civil service exam?” Fang Ya asked curiously.
Wang Xu lowered her head shyly. “I just wanted to learn from you because you are so good!”
Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu and smiled. “You will definitely do it!”
“Yes! I will work hard!” A smile hung on the corner of Wang Xu’s mouth.
Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu’s lively smile and the dullness of the day instantly disappeared.
“Wang Xu, thank you!” Fang Ya said sincerely.
Hearing Fang Ya’s words, Wang Xu was a little surprised and confused.
However, she did not ask anything more and just chuckled. “You’re welcome!”
In the evening, Fang Ya coaxed Tang Tang to sleep and sat in front of the table to start writing her diary.
This was a habit that she had started recently.
She recorded the things that happened every day, as well as the things that she could remember from her previous life.
She wanted to try her best to figure out which things had changed after her rebirth.
More importantly, she had to spot any situations that she could salvage or intervene for a better end!
Fang Ya secretly swore to herself: if she had been given another shot at life, she had to make full use of it!
