Qiao Baozhu's words "find a way out as soon as possible" made Zhang Cuilian's eyes go dark.
"sister in law!"
Seeing Zhang Cuilian's figure sway, Qiao Baozhu hurried forward to help her.
Xiao Ding was stunned by Qiao Baozhu's words, and when he heard Qiao Baozhu's call, he also reached out his hand.
The two men supported the staggering Zhang Cuilian and saw tears on her cheeks.
"Sister-in-law, is the Corps really going to be disbanded?"
Xiao Ding screamed out loud, he couldn't understand why it turned out like this.
Qiao Baozhu was horrified as she couldn't remember the exact time when the corps was disbanded. But I know that the rumors of disbanding started around New Year's Day, and many people privately clamored to go to the capital to make trouble.
When the army's morale is unstable, riots are very likely to occur. Later, no one knows what happened, but the corps became quiet again.
In this life, Shen Xiao went to the capital to study at this critical juncture. While others retired from the army and changed jobs, he was transferred and promoted.
I guess few people would believe if you said you didn't get the news in advance.
Qiao Baozhu secretly thought that this was not good. She should have pretended that she knew nothing and dealt with it to avoid any trouble.
Right now... it's really troublesome.
"Sister-in-law, do you know the inside information? I, I retired and returned to my hometown, and I can't do anything except farming. I don't want to go back, sister-in-law, please think of a way for me."
Xiao Ding's eyes turned red with anxiety. He stared at Qiao Baozhu with a pleading look on his face.
After Zhang Cuilian recovered, she also pulled Qiao Baozhu and asked her to explain herself clearly.
Qiao Baozhu gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know more than you do. I just heard it on the radio. It's just that I live in the city and I feel more about the environment outside than you do."
Zhang Cuilian didn't believe a word of this high-sounding talk.
"When you came here, did you notice that there were more vendors setting up stalls and hawking their wares on the street?"
Zhang Cuilian and Xiao Ding looked at each other, not understanding what this had to do with the Corps.
"During the time I was at my parents' home, I was not idle. I opened a clothing store with a friend."
Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Qiao Baozhu curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled faintly.
"Surprised, right? The policy has been relaxed. As long as the formalities are complete, you can apply to the community to open a business. As for why it has been relaxed, ordinary people like us don't know what's going on."
"I thought about it and started reading newspapers and listening to the radio. The loosening of policies means that not only ordinary people can do business. The army, factories, and schools will definitely change. The whole society is changing, all aspects and industries are changing."
Zhang Cuilian had a gloomy face and slumped in the chair, looking exhausted.
"No matter how things change, we can't let soldiers retire. I thought I had a stable job after putting on a military uniform, but I never thought that a stable job could leak."
Xiao Ding held his head in his hands, squatted on the ground and sighed.
Seeing Zhang Cuilian and Xiao Ding looking like they had been drained of blood, Qiao Baozhu felt uncomfortable.
We all got along well before, and both Zhang Cuilian and Xiao Ding were sincere to me.
She deserves a reminder at this critical time.
"Speaking of which, there is something new recently."
Qiao Baozhu changed the subject abruptly: "A glove factory that was very prosperous when I was a child has not paid wages for three consecutive months. Employees with connections are trying every means to transfer out. Those without connections are selling roasted sweet potatoes on the street."
"How come a glove factory that has been thriving for more than 20 years is going bankrupt?"
Zhang Cuilian was not stupid and she could tell there was something else behind Qiao Baozhu's words.
He raised his head and looked at Qiao Baozhu blankly: "Yes, why?"
Why does the Corps need to be restructured? What should happen to the hundreds of thousands of officers?
"I heard that it was because the previous leaders of the glove factory were too corrupt. They relied on the fact that the factory was a state-owned enterprise and that business was always booming, and they worked hard to put money into their own pockets. The employees below followed suit, were not active in their work, and competed with each other to dig into the corners of socialism and fleece the public."
"Such a large glove factory was hollowed out like this. Don't you think it's a pity?"
Zhang Cuilian rolled her eyes, thought of something, sat up straight, and looked at Qiao Baozhu thoughtfully.
"The glove factory is so big, there must be people who don't covet public property or take advantage of the public. If the factory goes bankrupt, what will those honest people do?"
Qiao Baozhu raised her lips and said, "Which workshop wouldn't want workers with strong abilities, high skills and good reputation?"
"If the glove factory is gone, there is still the woolen mill. If the woolen mill fails, there is still the cotton mill."
“If you have the ability, you can make a career anywhere.”
