The matchmaking event has ended, but its impact is enormous. It made the Beijing Daily the next day and even made the front page.
Several other units, seeing how well this matter was handled, all came to Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office to learn from their experience.
Officer Liu was busy from early morning until noon before he could finally relax, because there were just too many people to receive.
However, Officer Liu had no complaints at all; on the contrary, he was full of enthusiasm.
Because Director Wang has already said that the higher-ups have made special arrangements and agreed to commend him, and a promotion and salary increase at the end of the year are a given.
After lunch, Officer Liu, without taking a break, rode his bike to No. 95 Courtyard.
"Ding ding ding..."
"Oh! Officer Liu is here. It's so hot, don't you guys even take a break? Come inside and rest."
"No, Lao Yan, I'm going to find Chen Xiaosan. I'll leave after I finish speaking."
After Liu parked his bicycle, he prepared to go to the backyard. Yan Bugui, remembering what happened yesterday, asked directly.
"Officer Liu, is it about the job quota?"
Officer Liu smiled.
"Yes! I was afraid he'd be getting impatient, so I brought it to him during my lunch break."
This kind of thing should be made public to show the credibility of their street office, so Officer Liu did not hide it at all.
The more people who know, the better, because he believes that no one will dare to covet this spot.
Watching Officer Liu walk towards the backyard, Yan Bugui, with mixed feelings, could only sigh and resent the injustice of fate.
The others at the door were equally envious. A job opening, even a temporary one, could be worth three to five hundred yuan. Why couldn't I have such a good opportunity?
Ten minutes later, Officer Liu and Chen Xiaosan walked out of the backyard, chatting and laughing.
For Liu, this job opportunity was just a casual thing to do, but for Chen Xiaosan, it was a godsend.
Therefore, despite Liu's objections, he insisted on seeing Liu off to express his gratitude.
"Alright, mistress, once you have a job, live a good life with your wife. Don't bother seeing me off, I'm leaving now."
"Oh! Thank you, Officer Liu."
Chen Xiaosan bowed deeply to Officer Liu.
Watching Officer Liu's departing figure, Chen Xiaosan secretly vowed to make something of himself so that he could live up to the expectations of those who had cared about him.
"Congratulations, mistress! Have you settled on a job yet?"
Seeing that Officer Liu had left, Yan Bugui asked sourly.
"Uncle, it's all settled. You'll be working at the steel rolling mill. As for the specific job, we'll have to follow the organization's arrangements."
Chen Xiaosan answered excitedly.
Once he reports for duty tomorrow, he will become a proud member of the working class.
After all, what does this era value?
Workers, labor is the most glorious thing!
"The steel rolling mill is great! If you work hard, even a temporary worker can become a permanent employee in a few years."
"Thank you for your kind words, Uncle. You go ahead with your work, I'll head back now, my wife is waiting for me at home! Hehe!"
Having just tasted the exquisite pleasure of the past night, Chen Xiaosan has no time for idle chatter. Isn't it better to go back and cuddle with his wife?
Looking at the triumphant Chen Xiaosan, and then thinking of his own son, Yan Bugui felt a little angry.
He got married yesterday, but his son didn't get up until eight or nine in the morning. He just finished lunch and then went to take a nap. He's like a manure-producing machine.
He just couldn't understand it. "Are you that tired?"
No, I have to go back and talk to him. Now that there's another person in the family, I need to find him some work to do.
Thinking about all this, he lost his mood to play there, grabbed a stool, and headed home.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Sun siblings all sat at the door.
Even when Yan Bugui called for a game of chess, Sun Zhengguo ignored him. They knew that their second uncle and aunt were coming over this afternoon because tomorrow was the day their cousin was to propose marriage.
Forty minutes later, my second uncle and aunt finally appeared. My second uncle was carrying a small bag on his back. The two of them arrived at the courtyard house, looking travel-worn.
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, you must be terribly hot. Come inside and rest."
Sun Zhengguo quickly took the bag from his second uncle and led the two of them into the courtyard, since this was not the place to talk.
"Hello, Second Uncle and Second Aunt."
"Hey! Hello everyone."
After a brief greeting, the group returned inside. The two siblings busied themselves pouring tea, while Sun Zhengguo glanced at the contents of the bag.
After reading it, Sun Zhengguo felt a mix of emotions. The bag contained some dried meat and flour, which were probably leftovers from his last hunting trip. His family hadn't been able to bear eating them, so they brought them over.
"Second Uncle, what did I tell you? I'll bring you more food when we finish eating. Why did you bring it all back? Take these things with you when you go back; we don't need them."
Sun Dahe felt a little embarrassed. These things were originally given to him by his nephew, and now his nephew had brought them over, but he had no choice! He really had nothing else to bring.
"It's alright. You gave us a lot last time, and we couldn't finish it all. It would be a waste if it went bad."
"hehe!"
Sun Dahe's words made Sun Zhengguo laugh.
What time is it now? There's a famine going on! You're telling me we can't eat? Would you dare say that in public?
However, Sun Zhengguo didn't say anything and just let his second uncle talk nonsense!
At worst, we can just prepare more things for him when he leaves. After all, he still has two elderly people to support, and his father also has responsibilities.
After finishing his tea, his second uncle and aunt recovered, and Sun Zhengguo then spoke.
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, let's go! Let's all go to Ju'er Hutong together. We already agreed to meet there after get off work tonight."
Sun Dahe didn't ask anything. He knew it was his nephew's house, and that his son would live there after he got married.
The group went outside, locked the door, and walked out into the courtyard.
"Hey! Zhengguo, your second uncle just arrived, why are you leaving already?"
"Uncle, my second uncle and aunt aren't leaving, they're going to spend the night at the house my brother rents. I'll take them there to get acquainted with the place."
Sun Zhengguo told a lie, but he couldn't let these people know that he had another house outside, otherwise, who knows what trouble they might cause him.
After leaving the courtyard, the group arrived at the courtyard in Ju'er Hutong in about ten minutes.
After entering the courtyard, Sun Zhengguo led his second uncle and aunt to see the grain he had stored and the dishes he had prepared.
"Second Uncle, how is it? I told you our family has enough! You can stay here in peace and eat whatever you want."
The second uncle and aunt were still in shock. What had they just seen?
A vat of flour weighs at least a hundred pounds, and the kitchen is filled with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and various vegetables.
The two bags of cornmeal that were the worst were not for my own consumption, but for my son's dowry tomorrow.
"No wonder, no wonder..."
Sun Dahe muttered to himself.
No wonder my nephew looked down on what he brought back. With so many good things, who would bother chewing on that dry, mushy jerky?
Sun Dahe smiled, a very happy smile.
