Siheyuan, I am He Yushui's classmate

Chapter 5 Entering the Factory

A few months later, after going through written application review examinations and several rounds of interviews, the list of candidates to work in the factory was finally determined before the end of the year, and Zhao Jinhe also got his wish and realized the second step of his struggle to enter urban life!

"Because the end of the year is coming soon, all of you will report for duty after the new year. According to the factory's arrangements, first..."

The labor and management department of the factory held a new employee induction training meeting in early December. At the meeting, the leaders talked about it. First, they introduced the history of the factory, the current development situation, and imagined a bright future. Finally, they drew a big cake for them. .

The factory auditorium, which has several hundred seats, was filled with people. Most of them were young people in their late teens or early twenties. There were many more men than women.

Zhao Jinhe, who was sitting in the corner of the back row, was both looking forward to it and a little scared. His future work life would begin here.

Feeling a little hot on my face, I unconsciously looked at the surrounding environment. It seemed that other people around me were also like this. Although I didn't say a word, my face was full of excitement.

Because he could write and do math, he was about to graduate, and his family was politically reliable, Zhao Jinhe was assigned to the logistics department. There were still very few junior high school graduates in this era, and Zhao Jinhe could be regarded as the first wave of formal school graduates after the country was newly established. Health, not to mention special care, at least it is relatively important.

Others were vying to be a technical job, but he didn't fight for it. On the one hand, he didn't have any close relatives in the factory, so he shouldn't be able to compete, and he also had his own plan. Wouldn't it be better to learn a technology that ordinary people can't learn?

There are not many electricians in the huge factory. It is said that every master electrician is very popular. This position not only requires a certain practical ability, but also requires basic knowledge of cultural theory, because this industry is developing and changing the fastest. There are new electrical appliances. "Turning, pliers, pipes, and casting" are the most common types of work in the rolling mill. All of them are physical labor, and the most basic thing is to be physically strong!Otherwise, everything would be empty talk, and for Zhao Jinhe, who is currently thin, it would undoubtedly not be a kind of torture.Even if you are willing to work hard to improve, don't you need a process of gradually catching up later?

He is unwilling to be in this situation, and most of these jobs do not require much cultural knowledge and cannot give full play to his own advantages.

And the electrician who is considered dangerous by most people is his best choice, and it is precisely because there are fewer people who choose, in fact, Zhao Jinhe was notified of his future position early on.

Soon after the mobilization meeting for newcomers, Zhao Jinhe also completed all the entry procedures, and even moved his household registration to the factory, but he was still an urban collective household. Tickets, food stamps, oil tickets, tobacco tickets, wine tickets, etc.,

Today I checked into the last group dormitory, and I’m going to go back to my hometown tomorrow to check it out!

"Brother Zhuzi! Did you eat dinner today?" Zhao Jinhe once again saw Silly Zhu, an enthusiastic classmate brother, during the dinner party in the cafeteria of the factory, but his face didn't look very good today, even when he was eating. absent-minded.People are also a little listless.

"Oh, it's you! That Yushui's classmate? What's his name? I can't remember it all at once."

While talking nonchalantly, Sha Zhu subconsciously touched his head with one hand.

I have to say that after seeing him for dozens of days, his image didn't seem to have changed, he was still wearing the old padded jacket, which seemed to have more oil on it, and Da Yuanpan's face was greasy. The only change in the pair of slanted small eyes is that the hair is a lot shorter, making him look younger.

"My name is Zhao Jinhe, you can call me Xiao Zhao or Jinhe!"

"Oh, are new employees starting today? Seeing that there are many new faces in the cafeteria today, they are chattering non-stop!"

"Yes! Most of them are eighteen or nineteen years old, and only some are over 20. I have just moved into a dormitory and just started working. It is inevitable to be a little excited. After all, income is the real meaning. Once you become an adult, you can support your family in the future."

"Yes! I am an adult and can support my family. Looking at young people makes me feel a little old. I have been working for more than six years before I know it!"

Shazhu's melancholy look made Zhao Jinhe feel the same way. Apart from himself, Shazhu also needs to support his eight-year-old sister, and his responsibility is even heavier!If he hadn't changed his age by two years in order to establish a family in the old man, he is actually only fifteen or sixteen years old now.

Behind him are not only the old man who is old and frail, but also his mother with small feet, as well as his 13-year-old second brother, his 11-year-old third brother, and his nine-year-old fourth sister.The eldest sister who is six years older than him has been married for three years, and the dowry money from that year has almost been spent. Although the brother-in-law's family is more tolerant of her sister's behavior of helping her mother's family from time to time, how can she really expect a married woman to live? ?
"Hey..., brother Zhuzi is not easy! But the hard days are coming to an end, right? How is the rain recently? I haven't talked much for a while."

"Hey, what can I do? She spends most of her time at school, and occasionally she comes home looking like a reincarnated starving ghost, eating hard!"

Silly Zhu, who looked disgusted, said this like an old father. When his children grow up, they know how to eat them!
"What about other aspects?"

"Hey, don't tell me, there is a very strange thing. She has been home several times recently and helped me wash my clothes and tidy up the house. Tell me, why does this girl seem to be a different person all of a sudden!"

"Doesn't this mean that she has grown up! She knows how to care about you."

"Haha... That's right, you said it. I haven't felt this way for many years. I am very happy and happy! This feeling is so good!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Jinhe understood very well and had fun with him.

"Then why are you so gloomy today?"

"A guy in our yard who has been against me since childhood is getting married! I saw his fiancée a few days ago. Although she looked a little fat, she was pretty good-looking. She was educated and spoke softly. Gentle, to be honest, I am a little envious and jealous, that guy even laughed at me several times with a high-spirited look. I just talked about it for a while, no one stopped me, this guy runs so fast, I really want to beat him He paused. The villain is rampant when he is proud!"

"Hehe... Brother Zhuzi, it's not that he's getting married soon, but that you really should get married. He doesn't laugh at you if you're not married when you're old enough, and other people will laugh at you in private. You can still control everyone. Mouth? The key is that you really should get married."

"I also know that I have been on blind dates with many people in recent years. Either I don't like her, or she doesn't like me. There has never been a suitable one!"

"Oh, brother Zhuzhu, what do you think?"

"Can you have any ideas? Don't you just want to find a beautiful city girl with a job! I also have a job and a house anyway, why is it so difficult to find!"

"Of course it's difficult! There are only a few beautiful ones! Not to mention the need for urban girls with jobs! Young girls like handsome guys, and they will slowly pursue conditions when they get older! Is your house good? Bigger is indeed bigger. , but it’s not that good. It’s not new, and it’s not a building with a bathroom. It’s not that good! As long as people live in the city, which family doesn’t have a house? Then where do they live? Besides, your income, in In the factory, you are neither low nor high among your peers, right? Why do you have such confidence?"

"I don't have the burden to be alone!"

"You threw your sister away? Not only are you burdened, but you also have no one to help you!"

"then what do I do?"

"If you want to find a pretty girl, don't work, and be more liberal with your household registration! It's not like you can't support yourself, you are a chef! The salary is indeed not too high, but there is no shortage of food and drink!"

..., Didi Gugu and Shazhu chatted for a long time before they separated when the bell rang. Shazhu went home, while Zhao Jinhe stayed in a collective dormitory for the first time.
