Aunt Zhuang took the basket and looked at it, then she immediately blamed it:
"Dongzi, are you afraid that I, your aunt, can't afford to give you a meal?
You finally come back, why bring back so much meat?"
Zhang Xudong quickly said, "Aunt, I really have something to discuss with you all today.
I was thinking that we could get together and have a meal, so I brought some meat and wine.
Come inside first, I'll explain the situation, and you and my uncle can come up with a plan first."
Zhang Xudong entered the house and told them about the wild boar and the temporary workers.
"Uncle, aunt, that's it.
I originally thought of giving each of these kids a place.
But Brother Zhuzi has already joined the army, and there is no suitable candidate in their family.
Uncle Youshan’s children are all young, so there is no suitable candidate.
What do you think is the appropriate way to deal with this matter?
Also, what do you think my brother Gangzi should do?
Should he be assigned to the security department or become a carpenter or bricklayer?"
Zhang Dazhuang and his wife were stunned after hearing what Zhang Xudong said.
"Uncle, aunt, please give me some advice!"
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Zhang Xudong shouted again.
"Dongzi, what do you want your uncle and aunt to say?
You've done all this, is it enough for us to just say thank you?
Uncle will now call the fathers of these kids to come over and go up the mountain to hunt wild boars together.
We don't want any money for this pig, we'll give it to the factory."
After Zhang Dazhuang came to his senses, he went out to greet people.
"Uncle, wait a minute, you can't handle the wild boar issue, so don't worry about it.
Just help me figure out how to secure this spot."
Aunt Zhuang also came back to her senses, wiped her eyes and said:
"Dongzi, I really want to thank you for this.
We are worried about your brother Gangzi's marriage.
Now when I introduce a guy to her, the first thing she does is ask for a lot of food.
Although our village is no longer short of food, no family is much richer, right?
The three men in this family all have a lot to eat, so how can we afford so much food to marry him off?
Now that Gangzi has a job, we don't have to worry about it anymore. We can just wait to choose a wife."
"Aunt, please don't thank me. We are a family and it's pointless to thank each other over and over again.
But why didn't you tell me if you had any problems?
Can we delay Brother Gangzi's marriage just for a little food?
From now on, we can no longer hide anything. Let's all think of a way out. We can get through this."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll remember this. It was your uncle who didn't want me to tell you because he was afraid it would be difficult for you."
Zhang Dazhuang, who was listening, immediately interrupted and said:
"Okay, don't mention those trivial things.
Dongzi has important things waiting for us to do.
Go and ask some kids to call their family members over.
The six of us families will get together today to have some fun."
After hearing this, Aunt Zhuang glared at her husband and went out.
"Dongzi, I think we should sit together and talk it out.
No one who doesn't have a suitable candidate should be criticized and given a bad reputation just for the sake of this spot.
If they plan to sell the quota you gave them for money or transfer it to someone else, then we will not have any dealings with them in the future.
It’s the children’s business to be together, and if the adults can’t get along, then forget it. We should go our separate ways from now on.”
Zhang Xudong nodded and said, "That's fine. It's exhausting to be associated with those who can't figure things out.
So what should we do with the remaining spots? Who should we give them to?"
"No matter how many places are left, each family can only be given one. If there are more, it will easily attract resentment.
Let's let your brother Gangzi go to the security department. He likes to play around all day and has never learned any proper skills.
I think, even if I asked you to exchange these places for money, you would not agree.
So, the remaining quotas, if any, will be reserved for the village, and the candidates will be selected based on their work points."
After hearing his words, Zhang Xudong quickly said:
"We can't trade this position for money. If the factory finds out, they'll look down on us and we won't have another chance.
Uncle, let’s do as you wish. Just make sure there are no more than seven people in total.
The factory will expand in the future, so we will definitely have to continue recruiting people.
As long as they don't cause any trouble, I will try my best to get more places for the village."
After hearing this, Zhang Dazhuang frowned and said:
"We are all from the same village, and if things go well, we should help as much as we can.
But if there are really those who don't know what's good for them and cause trouble, we will just ignore them and even cancel the quota and not give it to them.
Let everyone go and argue with them, and they can forget about staying in peace in the village from now on.
At worst, I can just quit this tedious job."
Zhang Xudong nodded after hearing this. This uncle Dazhuang is indeed courageous and has some means.
"That's what we'll do. You have to ensure a good political review.
It's useless to submit the names of those who are not suitable.
Once you have finished preparing it, please give me the list as soon as possible. The factory is urging us to do so.
Xiaojing and I are going to catch two wild boars now.
First, you distributed it to the villagers. Before the New Year, when my family was building a house, everyone donated food. I want to repay this favor.
On the other hand, you have to deliver it to the factory early tomorrow morning.
If they insist on paying you, you should take it. If they don’t, we won’t make any money.”
