After Geng Xiaoyu graduated from high school at nineteen, she married a classmate of hers, who was the son of the head chef at the county's State-owned Restaurant. After her classmate graduated, he also joined the State-owned Restaurant and became the second chef.
Thanks to the convenience provided by her father-in-law, Geng Xiaoyu also got a job at the State-owned Restaurant as a waitress.
In those days, working as a waitress in a State-owned Restaurant, much like being a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative, was a sought-after and desirable job.
After graduating, Geng Xiaozen also followed in Geng Xiaowu's footsteps and went to join the army.
It was her own decision to go, and Yuan Chun didn't stop her. However, both Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng cried about it. After all, she was their eldest daughter, and it had been hard for her to graduate from high school, only to go off to join the army. Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng were very reluctant to let her go.
