Chapter 656 Banggeng is going to the countryside
"Why are there so many people around? Hey, Xiao Zhang, why are you here?"
Someone saw Xiao Zhang from the street office and asked him hurriedly.
"You're here just in time. The new list of people who are going to go to the countryside has been released, and we're here to notify you."
Xiao Zhang turned to look at the people in the courtyard, and then said, "The list is indeed a bit urgent. If anyone has any objections, such as those who have already started working but have not reported, please hurry up and report to the street office. It is only today, and no one will be accepted after the deadline.
All the educated youth who are going to the countryside will gather at the old place the day after tomorrow morning, that’s it.”
After saying that, he led other street office staff out of the yard.
Everyone's eyes lit up as they listened.
One day, no, I should say, half a day, there is still a chance.
Without saying a word, Jia Zhang launched a wild boar charge and rushed out of the yard.
In the crowd, the three aunts breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Yan Bugui acted decisively during the Chinese New Year, otherwise his little daughter would definitely be on the list of people going to the countryside.
Wang Tiedan watched this farce and shook his head.
Where is this?
Historically, 1969 was also a big year for going to the countryside. In total, four such activities were organized, and even all temporary workers were later dismissed to fill the quota for going to the countryside.
As for the reason, let’s take the examples of Bang Geng and Yan Jie Di.
The "little six-nine" generation in history, also known as the "little fart nine", the worst one.
The movement started when I was promoted to junior high school, but it lasted for two years. Even after the resumption of classes, I didn’t have any serious classes for a year.
So most people only graduate from primary school, or even do not have primary school level.
Just a group of people like this enter the unit. They can learn how to be a cook, a barber, or a body scrubber, but they cannot learn anything if they go to units that require professional terminology.
Since he has no training value, I have no choice but to fire him.
On the other side, Jia Zhang came out of the alley and didn't run far before she met Qin Huairu who was returning home. She hurriedly pulled her towards the steel rolling mill.
"Qin Huairu, hurry to the factory, there's no time left."
"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to go to the factory?" Qin Huairu asked puzzledly.
"The subdistrict office just came to inform us that Banggeng is on the list of people going to the countryside. He will leave the day after tomorrow. You should quickly give up your workstation to Banggeng. As long as we can get it done today, Banggeng won't have to go to the countryside."
"Ah? You can finish it today?"
"Yeah, let's go."
Jia Zhang pulled Qin Huairu's arm and pushed forward.
However, as I pulled it, I found that it became heavier and heavier.
Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't want to leave, she suddenly became anxious.
"Qin Huairu, you don't want to give the workstation to Bang Geng? Let me tell you, this workstation belongs to our Jia family and must be passed to Bang Geng, no matter what."
Qin Huairu shook off Jia Zhang's arm and almost cried.
"Is it because I don't want to pass it on? Did you know that the factory just issued a notice today to temporarily stop recruiting workers this year?"
"He can stop if he wants, we are not recruiting workers."
"Stop recruiting means we won't accept apprentices for the time being. If someone with Banggeng's education doesn't become an apprentice, he won't be able to enter the factory. Do you understand?"
Qin Huairu was almost pissed off by her mother-in-law.
During the Chinese New Year, she finally found a work station and wanted to buy it. After much persuasion, she was only a hundred yuan short of the money, but Jia Zhang refused to pay no matter what.
He also said that everything is expensive during the Chinese New Year, but after the summer vacation, everyone has found a work station, so prices will naturally become cheaper.
What a smart guy.
As a result, now, I haven’t bought a work station, and I can’t get a good job at home.
Jia Zhang also stood there in a daze, muttering to herself.
"No, I only have this one grandson, he can't go to the countryside to suffer."
Qin Huairu was also heartbroken.
I only have one son by my side now, how can I bear to leave him?
"Qin Huairu, think of a way. There must be a way, right?"
Jia Zhang reacted and spoke quickly.
"I'll pay. I'll take out all the money. Is that okay?"
"Mom, forget it. It's already this late. Where can I find a workstation?!"
"You can't just watch Banggeng suffer in the countryside! How can you be a mother?"
As Jia Zhang spoke, she became angry.
They were still on the road, and there were workers getting off work everywhere. Qin Huairu didn't want to argue with Jia Zhang, so she turned around and left.
The matter has been decided, there is no point in being sad.
I don’t know if there is a chance for me to work hard in the countryside.
As soon as Qin Huairu reached the entrance of the alley, she saw Banggeng running towards her with his schoolbag on his back, laughing happily. He looked so happy.
"Mom, are you off work?"
"Yes."
Qin Huairu rubbed Banggeng’s head.
He is only seventeen years old, and he is already as tall as me.
"Hey, grandma, why is she over there? Where did she go?"
Bang Geng pointed at Jia Zhang who was walking slowly towards them from a distance and asked.
Qin Huairu turned around and took a look, gritted her teeth, and prepared to tell him about going to the countryside.
"Bang Geng, Mom wants to tell you something, don't be anxious."
"What's wrong? Have I found a job? Mom, we agreed that I won't be an apprentice."
Qin Huairu was filled with grief and indignation.
This child has a really hard life.
"Bang Geng, it's my fault. I couldn't find you a good job. The neighborhood office has already issued a notice for you to go to the countryside. You will leave the day after tomorrow."
Banggeng scratched his ears, his expression a little bit unbelievable.
"Mom, stop joking. Don't you still have your job to take care of our family?"
"No kidding, the factory also issued a notice today that it will no longer recruit apprentices, so maybe you have to go to the countryside this time."
Qin Huairu said truthfully.
Banggeng's expression changed, but in the end he still found it hard to accept this fact.
"No, I don't want to. I don't want to go to the countryside, Mom. You must have a way, right? Please help me. You must help me. I don't want to go to the countryside."
Qin Huairu burst into tears immediately.
"Bang Geng, you know that Mom has been helping you find a job, but the job market is really tight right now."
"What's so hot? It's because you, as a mother, are useless."
At this moment, Jia Zhang came behind Qin Huairu and put the blame on her.
"My dear grandson, how can grandma live without you?"
Jia Zhang walked around Qin Huairu and was about to hug the stick as usual.
But this time, Bang Geng took a step back and looked at Jia Zhang with resentment.
"Stop pretending. It's you who's always worried about money. If you had taken out all the money, my mom would have bought me a workstation long ago!"
Jia Zhang was dumbfounded.
Qin Huairu was also dumbfounded.
Neither of them expected Bang Geng to say such a thing.
However, the former is fear, while the latter is relief.
"Great, no, I gave all the money to your mom. It's not my fault."
"Stop it, I hate you!"
After Banggeng finished speaking, he ran straight home.
Jia Zhang wanted to pursue him, but there was no way an old woman like her could catch up with such a big guy like Banggeng.
"Qin Huairu, what did you say to my grandson? You must be the one instigating this, right?!"
Qin Huairu gave Jia Zhang a cold look.
"Bang Geng is already seventeen, do you think he is still a child? He can see it by himself, do I need to tell him?"
