Xu Jiajia said with a smile: "Why don't you go and take a look tomorrow? If the job is solved, you will make money. If it is a lie, it will only delay you for a while. It's no big deal!"
After hearing what Xu Jiajia said, Uncle He no longer felt any pressure. He patted his thigh and said, "Let's do it."
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Xiaoyao and said, "Xiaoyao, your uncle and his family are not familiar with Kyoto. I'd like to trouble you to go to the train station and refund your train ticket."
Xu Xiaoyao happened to have time, and she was willing to go: "Okay——"
When Xu Jianguo came back from get off work and learned about Uncle He's rescue, he smiled and said, "Uncle, you have to control your temper when you have a job. You can raise your voice but don't use your fists.
Sometimes when fists are used, even the right thing becomes wrong.”
Uncle He also felt that he had to control his temper. He scratched his hair and said, "I'll try my best. I'll try my best."
Grandma He said sternly: "It's not about trying your best, it's about making sure it changes.
In the countryside, if you encounter a rude person, you can solve the problem with your fists.
In the city, you have to be reasonable. No matter how rude you are, you can’t do anything to them. If you really can’t do anything, you can ask the police for help.”
Uncle He also knew that the city was different from the countryside, so he took this to heart: "Okay—"
Grandma He continued to teach him: "Use your brain before you speak, and memorize more quotations."
"Ah——" Uncle He made a bitter face: "I still have to recite quotations, isn't this going to cost me my life?"
Grandma He said sternly, "You have such a bad temper, you need to recite more quotations to avoid making mistakes.
Do you want to commit a crime by not reciting the quotations?"
Uncle He shook his head like a wave drum: "No, no, I don't want to."
Under the pressure of Grandma He's eyes, Uncle He reluctantly agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll carry you on my back, it's okay to carry you on my back!"
Uncle He is not a bookworm.
Finished primary school.
He doesn’t even know as many words as those in the first grade.
Grandma He looked at Uncle He who had just entered the room and said, "Big brother, you supervise the children to recite the quotations. If they don't listen, they will copy the book and be fined ten times the amount."
Uncle He came back later than Xu Jianguo, so he didn't know about Uncle He's rescue. When he heard the old lady say this, he looked at her in confusion: "Didn't you say you were going back to your hometown? Not going back?"
Grandma He told the story of Uncle He saving people.
Uncle He was quite surprised. He didn't expect that his silly old man would have such good luck. He said the same thing as Xu Jiajia: "If the old man really gives you a job, you will make money. If he is just teasing you, it will only delay you for a while."
Uncle He has gone to work.
The first thing I did was to get the factory uniform.
The uniforms of a machinery factory are work clothes.
When he put on this dress, his whole appearance changed. He looked energetic and spirited.
Uncle He was itching to be a worker: "Brother, I want to be a worker too."
…
The next morning, before seven o'clock, the old man's grandson came.
He knocked on the door.
It was Uncle He who opened the door.
When he saw that it was the old man's grandson, he excitedly said, "You're here, come in and sit down."
The old man's grandson shook his head and said, "No need. My uncle is waiting for us at the factory gate. Let's go."
After that, he added: "It's a temporary job. If you do a good job, you can get a permanent job in one or two years. If you don't do a good job, you won't be a permanent job even after four years. Temporary workers are paid about ten yuan a month.
The salary of the security department staff is higher than that of ordinary staff, with regular staff earning 40 yuan, and the benefits of temporary staff are also halved. "
Uncle He thought it was enough to do it at ten, let alone ten more: "I have a lot of money, I will work hard and live up to your grandfather's kindness."
Textile factory.
There are more than two thousand people.
It is a big factory.
The old man’s youngest son is also the factory director.
The factory director personally took charge of the formalities. People in the factory thought that Uncle He was his relative and were very friendly to him.
Uncle He and the factory manager were not afraid of the people behind them. When they saw people, they greeted them generously.
The reason why I have such courage is that I have been traveling around in the past few years. If it were in the past, I would definitely be scared to death when I saw the factory director.
So, this person should go out more often.
Complete the formalities.
Uncle He asked the factory manager, "Manager, how much is the salary? How much do you pay?"
Xu Jiajia lent 100 yuan to Uncle He.
The factory manager didn't expect that Uncle He still wanted to give him money.
Uncle He's action made the factory director think more highly of him.
He smiled and said, "No need to give me money, this is given to you by your dad, it's yours. You saved your dad yesterday, and he hasn't thanked you yet."
Uncle He thought the factory manager was too polite: "You're welcome, it's just a small favor.
You guys are already very happy to work for me, otherwise you won’t pay me.”
The factory manager patted Uncle He on the shoulder and said, "No need to pay me. If I take your money, my dad will beat me to death. You should work hard and try to get a permanent job as soon as possible.
Formal workers have higher wages, more benefits, and can also transfer their household registration here.”
Uncle He certainly knows the benefits of being a formal employee: "I will work hard. This money is used to buy my job."
Uncle He gave the Baiquan borrowed from Xu Jiajia to the factory director.
When the factory manager stuffed the wad of money into his hands, he knew it was a lot of money. With a cold face, he stuffed the money into Uncle He's hands and said, "We agreed that you don't have to pay me. Why are you like this?
If you really feel embarrassed, just work hard and don’t cause any trouble.”
After refusing twice, Uncle He finally took back the money. He promised loudly: "I will work hard and will never cause you any trouble."
From a textile factory.
Uncle He exhaled a breath of air, and with it came a sense of relief.
Now he is also a worker.
Return to the courtyard.
Uncle He handed her the 100 yuan he borrowed from Xu Jiajia: "The old man's youngest son is the factory director. He took us through the formalities. He is a temporary worker, earning 10 yuan a month. He wants us to work hard, saying that formal workers will have higher wages, better benefits, and they can also transfer their household registration here.
Give him a hundred dollars.
He won’t take it.”
Grandma Xu said, "If you don't want to accept it, forget it. Go to the department store and buy some things and go to the factory manager's house later."
Uncle He had his own ideas about gifts: "Isn't it said that workers have a fixed amount of food? Otherwise, don't go to the department store, borrow ten kilograms of rice from Jia Jia, and another ten kilograms of flowers to send over."
Before coming to Kyoto, each of the uncles gave Xu Jiajia 100 kilograms of food and several dozen kilograms of flowers.
Grandma He thought this was a good idea: "That's fine."
Xu Jiajia had no objection: "Take it."
Uncle He was afraid that Xu Jiajia was feeling uncomfortable, so he patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Jiajia, I will ask your aunt and uncle to send some more food and flowers."
Xu Jiajia was not a stingy person, she smiled and said, "It's okay, you brought so much food, you can't finish it in a short time.
It is hot and if you eat it for too long, it will easily cause worms.”
After the discussion, Uncle He carried ten kilograms of grain and ten kilograms of flowers to the factory director's house.
When the old man saw Uncle He bringing so many things, he was immediately unhappy: "You saved my life, but I didn't buy you anything. In return, you brought me so much food. If people knew about this, what would they think?"
Uncle He smiled innocently: "These are all food grown by ourselves, they are not worth much money."
After saying this, Uncle He ran away.
There is only an old man at home.
How could he, an elderly man, outrun Uncle He?
…
Uncle He stayed in Kyoto for two days before boarding the train back home.
Xu Jianguo sent the man to the train and said, "Brother-in-law, if anyone in the factory wants to sell their work, I will tell you as soon as possible."
Uncle He nodded and said, "Okay."
There were many people when we came.
Taking the late night train was not unbearable at all.
Being alone on a train, with no one to talk to, Uncle He felt that riding a train was more tiring than being in jail, and there was no freedom.
The train arrived in Shunan at 7pm.
This point.
There is no car back to the county town.
He stayed at the guesthouse for one night.
The next morning.
At daybreak, he got up.
After breakfast, he boarded the bus back to the county town.
From there, we went to the county seat.
It's a two-hour drive.
It was already ten o'clock when we arrived at the county seat.
It takes an hour to take the bus from the county seat to the town.
As soon as we arrived in the town, we saw the captain coming out of the government office.
The captain saw him and walked over quickly: "Didn't you say you came back with your husband? Where is your husband?"
Uncle He brought a lot of things. When he saw the team leader, he gave some of them to him: "On his first day back from work, he saved an old man. The old man thanked him for saving his life and gave him a temporary job."
The captain was full of envy for the He family: "His luck is too good, isn't it?
How much does a part-time job in Kyoto make per month?
"He's in the security department, and he works about ten days a month."
The captain took a deep breath and said, "It's very high. The regular workers in the sugar factory only make 10 yuan, and I heard that the temporary workers make 10 yuan."
Uncle He smiled and said, "Well, relatively speaking, the salary in the security department is higher."
The captain came on a bicycle.
Uncle He simply took his car back.
He Xiaoxiao, the daughter of He Xiaojiu, was playing hide-and-seek with her friends. She saw her father coming back, so she left her friends and ran over: "Dad, Dad, you're finally back. I missed you so much!"
Uncle He stuffed some things into He Xiaoxiao's hands and looked at her with a smile: "Your sister Jiajia bought you a lot of candies, new clothes, and beautiful leather shoes, which are only sold in big cities."
Every time Uncle He said something, He Xiaoxiao's smile became brighter: "Sister Jia Jia is so nice. I haven't seen her for several years. I miss her so much."
"Next time I go to Kyoto, I'll take you with me."
He Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Uncle He: "Of course it's true. You are old enough to help her take care of the baby."
He Xiaoxiao was so happy that she wished she could grow wings and fly to Kyoto: "Dad, how about we go to Kyoto tomorrow?"
Uncle He had a headache. He was really a child, and he would think whatever he wanted. "Not so fast. We have to wait for two years."
The smile on He Xiaoxiao's face froze immediately: "So long? The babies have grown up!"
The father and son went home while talking.
When the eldest aunt saw He Laoji coming back, she rushed forward and asked, "Where is your eldest brother? Where did he go?"
