News soon came from the machinery and agricultural machinery factories in the city. Gao Feng and Zhou Qingshan managed to get three tillers from the agricultural machinery factory by means of their silver tongues and the credit for contributing the tillers.
With sufficient materials and complete blueprints from the agricultural machinery factory and the machine shop, the tiller was quickly put into production.
When Zhou Cunzhi drove the tractor to transport the tiller home, he was still a little dizzy.
"Fourth brother!"
Zhou Qingshan returned to the brigade and went straight to his younger brother's house, excitedly patting him on the shoulder, "Fourth brother! The machinery factory is very happy, and they're preparing a job as your reward."
"Fourth brother, I never expected that someone your age could still find a job."
Zhou Qingshan was genuinely happy. His younger brother had been intelligent since childhood, but he hadn't had the opportunity to work in the city back then.
Who would have thought that he would get a job in the city at the age of forty?
Zhou Qingyun stopped mid-sentence, looking at his brother with a puzzled expression. "Give me a job?"
"Yes, they seem to be very interested in your tricycle. The tiller is quite good. The higher-ups think you are very capable and hope you can go to the machinery factory to shine."
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Qingyun shook her head, "I won't go. Let's keep this job for Cunzhi."
"Huh? Dad, what did you say?" Zhou Cunzhi didn't expect that he was involved, and he didn't react at first.
"Dad, I'm already a tractor driver in the brigade, why should I go to work in the machine factory?" Zhou Cunzhi was actually quite reluctant to give up his job, but didn't he already have a proper job?
Zhou Qingyun looked at him and said, "Just tell me honestly, do you want to be a tractor driver or work in a machine factory?"
Zhou Cunzhi fell silent.
It's obvious he wants to go to the city. What country person doesn't yearn for the city? Who doesn't long to be a city dweller?
"You need to think this through, otherwise you can transfer this job to someone else."
Before Zhou Cunzhi could speak, Xu Huixue, who had overheard their conversation, grabbed his sleeve, wanting to go to the city.
"Cunzhi, shall we go to the city?"
She would feel even more proud if her husband became a worker in the city.
Moreover, the wages of city workers are much higher than those of rural tractor drivers, and the latter have two children to support.
The main reason is that she wants her children to be city dwellers, and she also wants to be a city dweller.
Zhou Cunzhi looked at his wife and saw the emotion in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said to his father, "Then Dad, I'll go to work in the city."
Zhou Qingyun nodded.
Looking at him like this, Zhou Qingshan was a little worried. "Do you think this will work? The machinery factory and the agricultural machinery factory have both said that they hope someone with your skills will come to work here."
“Cunzhi is smart, but he is still not as good as you.”
What if the machinery factory is unwilling?
Originally, they wanted to hire Zhou Qingyun, a highly skilled person who could also tinker with impressive machinery, but instead they got Zhou Cunzhi, a young man. Would the factory leaders agree to that?
Zhou Qingyun, however, was very confident.
In his previous life, he worked in a machinery factory his entire life. Even after the reform and opening up, the factory did not change from a state-owned to a private enterprise, and he was not laid off.
Even when he was in his seventies or eighties, after retiring from the factory, he was rehired as a consultant. It can be said that he spent his entire previous life in the machinery factory.
In this life, he went from being a factory worker to a farmer in the village, and he had no intention of going back to work.
Sometimes he also wanted to be willful and try a life with irregular working hours and doing whatever he wanted.
After the tillers were brought back, autumn plowing in Guangming Brigade became much more convenient. The three tillers, which were jointly developed by the machinery factory and the agricultural machinery factory, plus the one that Zhou Qingyun made himself, made a total of four tillers working continuously.
So that autumn, they dared to turn over the fields before the heavy snow and sow the seeds.
Since it was decided that Zhou Cunzhi would work in the machinery factory, his skills had to be improved. Now, Zhou Qingyun tutored his son in mechanical knowledge every day.
We need to introduce him to various machines and cultivate his hands-on skills. We must hone his technical abilities before he starts working.
Zhou Qingyun was capable. After he discussed with the leaders of the machinery factory and the agricultural machinery factory, although the leaders regretted that he could not be hired by the factory, they did not object to hiring Zhou Cunzhi.
With such a capable father, Zhou Cunzhi must be doing quite well.
Moreover, with such a "host" around, Zhou Qingyun will likely not forget them if he comes up with any good ideas in the future.
As for Zhou Cunzhi's job as a tractor driver in the brigade, it was naturally transferred to someone else.
It was given to Zhou Qingshan's son.
We should keep the good stuff within our own community; when something good happens, we should think of our own people, not just give it away to outsiders.
Zhou Qingyun taught his nephew how to drive and repair a tractor, and after practicing for a while, he quickly got the hang of it.
It doesn't matter that Zhou Qingyun's repair skills aren't very advanced yet. He'll stay in the brigade and not go anywhere else. If his nephew encounters a problem he can't solve in the future, he can always ask Zhou Qingyun for help.
Two weeks later, Zhou Qingyun took his son Zhou Cunzhi to the machinery factory in the city to complete his employment procedures.
Of course, Zhou Qingyun also brought a generator with him.
The generator that Zhou Qingyun brought was made using materials he had previously obtained from the machinery factory, along with the machinery they had borrowed.
