"Yeah, I work well with my hands." Her mood was uplifted. "Can you refer me?"
"Of course!"
"Oh, right. Are you working on the afternoon shift today?"
"I'm on night shifts this week and will only start work at seven in the evening. I'll help you enquire about the job later in the afternoon, then tell you more about it."
"Sure."
Later in the afternoon, Chu He came home appearing all elated. "Qingxue, I asked about the job. The workshop isn't far from here, just several hundred meters away by foot, but I was wrong about the pay. You'll only get ten yuan for making one lantern. Are you still keen on taking up the job?"
"Yes! Ten yuan a lantern is already a generous pay."
"Don't overexert yourself, though. You're pregnant, after all. Is your morning sickness serious?"
"A little; I guess."
