Chapter 655 Ahead of Time
Liu Haizhong's departure was just an episode and did not cause much waves.
Time flies, and it is April 1969 in a blink of an eye.
Life goes on. Apart from making money, the most discussed topic throughout the winter, or rather, the entire Spring Festival, is the workstations whose prices have skyrocketed like a rocket.
As long as a workstation appears, no matter where it is, no matter whether it is good or bad, it will be sold out in seconds.
What’s even more exaggerated is that almost all the workstations of workers who are about to retire or have one year left to retire have been booked.
Many people are also forced to retire early, either to sell their properties at a good price or to pass them on to their children and nephews.
Courtyard No. 95 is similar.
In order to make Yan Jie Di work, the whole family almost ran themselves ragged.
This is the first time I see Yan Bugui being so dedicated and not stingy.
Fortunately, his job as a teacher was not in vain. He had some connections and spent 1,250 yuan to let Yan Jiedi accompany He Yushui and work as a worker in the textile factory.
The monthly salary is 18 yuan. I became a regular employee at the age of 18 and received 24 yuan per month. I started working officially after the summer vacation.
The Jia family, who were also looking for jobs, seemed to be much slower.
Qin Huairu was also looking frantically, but she was helpless. She was just a woman, and a woman with a bad reputation. She could only go to the black market or use her connections to look for the person in this small piece of land.
Unfortunately, resources are limited, and capital is even more limited.
With only a thousand dollars in hand, I could not compete with those equally crazy parents.
Fortunately, there is still plenty of time.
The next batch of students will graduate in July, so it will be fine if they find a job before September.
If she really can't find the workstation, Qin Huairu can give up her workstation to Banggeng in advance.
It's better to be an apprentice in a workshop than to go to the countryside and never come back, even if it's hard.
New Year, new atmosphere, new people, new faces.
After the original Liu Haizhong's house was renovated, No. 95 Courtyard welcomed three new residents, who were also relatives of Wang Tiedan and residents of Dawang Village.
For other residents in the courtyard, they have long been accustomed to it.
The only difference is that Wang Tiedan comes significantly more often.
Sometimes he comes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, and sometimes he even eats two meals a day in the yard.
no way.
Wang Tiedan’s eldest son and second son can already run and jump, and his little daughter can also run very fast in her walker like a follower.
The three children didn’t like to go anywhere else, they just liked to follow other children to Yard 95.
And Wang Tiedan, the full-time nanny, can only follow patiently.
Fortunately, all you have to do is throw it into the yard and you don’t have to worry about anything.
There were people to help him look after the front, back and middle courtyards, so his life was very easy.
On this day, Wang Tiedan came to Yard 95 as usual, followed by the three little ones.
Before we even entered the yard, grandparents and aunts came out to greet us.
"Hey, Jinbao, Jinyao, and Jinlu are here. Come, let grandpa hug you."
"Come on, grandma hug."
"It's my turn today."
"Tiedan, your wife's belly should be showing signs of pregnancy, right?" a grandmother asked.
"Yes, it's been more than half a year, it's time for some action."
Wang Tiedan didn't want to pay any attention to the daily urging for labor. She brought out a recliner, lay down on it, and waved her hand.
"I'll leave the child to you. I'll take a nap."
After saying that, he immediately pretended to fall asleep.
"This kid pretends to sleep when he hears about giving birth."
"That's right. It would be great if you could have more children while you are still young. It would be a big family and lively."
"you do not say!"
The grandparents knew they couldn’t persuade Wang Tiedan, so they could only continue teasing the three little ones, loving them very much.
Wang Tiedan turned his body to the side, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep.
He is really sleepy.
While he was in a daze, Wang Tiedan was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.
When I woke up, I didn't expect that there were already quite a few people gathered in the front yard.
"Isn't it the second half of the year? Why are you sending out the notice now? Xiao Zhang, are you mistaken?"
"That's right, this is too sudden, the child hasn't even graduated yet!"
Wang Tiedan sat up and saw a group of middle-aged women, some from this yard and some from nearby yards, gathered around a clerk from the street office and talked.
"What's wrong? What's happening?" Wang Tiedan asked.
"It is said that the list of people going to the countryside has been released, ahead of schedule! I don't know what is going on."
"Earlier?"
As soon as Wang Tiedan asked, Xiao Zhang from the street office and the residents started arguing again.
"Everybody be quiet, be quiet, and listen to me.
This notice is a list drawn up by the street office leaders yesterday. We have to set off in three days. It is very urgent. Everyone should get ready quickly. "
"What's the rush? Why come early?"
"Yes, Xiao Zhang, you have to explain it clearly."
"Xiao Zhang, can you postpone it for a day or two? I need to get my child employed, and it will be done tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Really, can we discuss it?"
"Listen to me, normally, the busy farming season in the north starts in May, but in the northeast, land reclamation begins in March. From this month, spring ploughing begins. It's very busy and there is an extreme shortage of manpower," Xiao Zhang explained.
"There's no other way, so we can only recruit people temporarily."
"If we are short of staff, we have to wait until the children graduate, right? The children are so young!"
"Can you slow down and give the child some time, and also give us some time?"
The street office official took control again.
"Everyone, listen to me. This opportunity is really rare. As we all know, in the Northeast, people can catch roe deer with sticks and fish with ladles. The former Great Northern Wilderness is now becoming the Great Northern Granary.
The educated youth who go there, don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will definitely not starve. It's a good place, and you couldn't go there before."
After hearing this, many people felt better.
When children go to the countryside, parents are afraid that their children may not come back, and also that the place where their children go is not a good place.
Since things cannot be changed, going to a good place is also an option.
"That's not OK!"
Just then, a roar came from the middle courtyard.
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw Jia Zhang holding her shoes and running towards them.
"I don't agree. Our Bangteng hasn't found a job yet. No matter how good the job is, our Bangteng won't go there."
Suddenly, the scene became quiet.
The Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement was a basic national policy. You could not actively participate in it, but you could not openly oppose it.
Although everyone was anxious, they spoke very tactfully.
Delay a little, slow down a little, be flexible.
As a result, you, Jia Zhang, clearly opposed it right from the start. You are simply ignorant and fearless.
Xiao Zhang from the Street Office also looked unhappy.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, please say it again."
"me……"
Seeing the teasing looks from the people around her, Jia Zhang realized that she might have said something wrong, so she quickly changed her words.
"Xiao Zhang, it's like this. We have already arranged everything. Our Bang Geng is now a worker and should not be on the list."
"Now that you have a job, why didn't you report to the street office?" Xiao Zhang asked.
"We are going to report it right away, but there is not enough time."
"Not yet. Well, what is Jia Geng's workplace? He may not have a work certificate, but he should have an employment form. Show it to me."
"Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, I want to be an apprentice in the workshop. I don't have one yet. Can I give it to you in a few days?"
Jia Zhang said nonsense.
As she was speaking, people came in one after another. They were the employees who were getting off work.
