Arriving at the coal mine, Lin Chaoyang showed his ID to the security guard and then waited in the security room with his younger brother for the union officials to come and take him away.
The security guard was very enthusiastic. He poured him some water and started chatting with him.
"I have been a gatekeeper in this coal mine for many years. My last name is Guo, and everyone calls me Lao Guo. You can just call me that."
Lin Chaoyang smiled at him and said, "Uncle Guo, you can call me Yangzi. People in my hometown call me that."
Uncle Guo glanced at Lin Chaoxing and couldn't help asking, "Why did you bring a child to report? You are so young, and your child is already this big?"
Lin Chaoyang quickly shook his head, "No, no, he is my brother. My parents are gone, so I can only bring him with me."
Uncle Guo showed an embarrassed expression, "Look, I'm old and confused, don't mind it, but your brother is quite different in age from you."
Lin Chaoyang didn't care and replied directly, "The age difference between me and my younger brother is a bit big, because there is another one in between, but as for them, alas..."
Speaking of this, Lin Chaoyang's expression did not look good. He sighed and fell silent again.
When Uncle Guo saw him like this, he knew there must be a big hidden story behind this.
Lin Chaoyang didn't say anything, but Lin Chaoxing reached out her little hand and touched his face.
"Big brother is not angry. They bullied big brother. I will ignore them in the future."
When Grandpa Guo heard this, he quickly praised, "This child is so good, he loves you so much, Yangzi, your love for him is not in vain!"
Lin Chaoyang smiled and said, "Well, at least I still have a relative who loves me. As for the others, I raised them to this age, so I have done my best for my parents."
The more Uncle Guo listened, the more curious he became. He continued to inquire before the union representatives arrived.
Lin Chaoyang sighed, and without hiding anything, he told her everything about his family's situation.
After hearing this, Uncle Guo couldn't help but spit.
"Yangzi, you are such a kind person. You have raised your younger brother and sister in law in vain. You even raised them to be enemies!"
Lin Chaoyang smiled bitterly, "Maybe I am useless as the eldest brother, but I only have two hands, how can I feed so many mouths?"
Uncle Guo looked indignant, "Your two sisters are already old. They can earn work points by cutting grass and feeding pigs. Can't they support themselves?"
Although Uncle Guo had worked in the coal mine for many years, he was born in the countryside and he knew very well what kind of work a girl could do.
"You are already an adult and you still don't work. You are waiting for your elder brother to support you, and you still complain that you don't have enough to eat. What kind of person is this!"
Lin Chaoyang continued to smile bitterly, "Who made me stupid? I felt sorry for them but didn't let them go to earn work points. As a result, they complained that their family was poor and they couldn't eat enough."
"There was really no food at home, so I asked them to go to work, and this made them my enemy, alas..."
Uncle Guo got even angrier after hearing this. If he had a child like this at home, wouldn't he be so angry that he would die?
"Fortunately, you are rewarded for your kindness. Now you have a proper job. In the future, be nicer to yourself!"
Lin Chaoyang nodded and hugged his younger brother tightly. "From now on, I will only have this one younger brother. If they don't recognize me and say that I am being punished, then I won't recognize them anymore."
Uncle Guo patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you think so. Don't be a sucker in the future."
As the two were talking, the union representatives arrived.
A girl came, she looked about 4 years old, with a gentle face.
Uncle Guo quickly introduced him, "This is Director Li from the labor union, the logistics director of our coal mine."
Lin Chaoyang quickly nodded and greeted, "Hello Director Li, I'm Lin Chaoyang, I'm here to report today."
Director Li smiled and said, "Hello, Comrade Lin Chaoyang. If you have any problems in your life in the future, feel free to come to me."
Probably because he had learned about Lin Chaoyang's family situation in advance, Director Li was not surprised at all that he brought a child to the class.
"I'll take you to the dormitory and put your luggage away first."
As she said that, she took the lead and walked out. Lin Chaoyang put on the backpack and followed with Lin Chaoxing in his arms.
As they walked, Director Li introduced him, "This building is where our union offices are located. The logistics, finance, and procurement departments are all here."
"There's a cafeteria on the back floor, and behind that is the dormitory building. Single employees can apply."
There are many employees in the coal mine, and the dormitory building is divided into several buildings. Director Li took Lin Chaoyang to the last one.
The two walked to the dormitory building together. Because it was working hours, the building was quiet.
Director Li took him to the first floor and opened the door of one of the rooms.
"This room is temporarily unoccupied, so you can stay here first."
This dormitory is not very big. There are four wooden beds in it. It looks like it should be four rooms.
"Put your luggage away first. Your brother will rest in the dormitory for a while. Come with me to the office building and I will take you to register."
Lin Chaoyang put down the backpack and told Lin Chaoxing to stay well in the dormitory. Then he went to the office building in front with Director Li.
Director Li took him to the second floor of the office building and directly into the office of the Logistics Department.
"According to Deputy Secretary Zheng's request, you should first familiarize yourself with the situation of the first mine in our logistics department."
"There will be a temporary worker conversion exam in a month. You can take the exam with me to see which position you are suitable for."
"Don't get me wrong, you will be a formal employee once you come in, and you will enjoy the treatment of a formal employee. We just let you take the exam and assign you a position."
Lin Chaoyang nodded, and Director Li called over a chubby older sister.
"Sister Hong, he is Lin Chaoyang. He will come to our logistics department to adapt for a month. I will hand him over to you. Please take good care of him."
The fat lady looked at Lin Chaoyang with a smile, "My name is Zhang Qinghong, they all call me Sister Hong, you will follow me from now on."
Lin Chaoyang called out "Sister Hong" with a smile, and was then led to his workstation by Zhang Qinghong.
"Come on, let's get to know Lin Chaoyang. He's a hero who helped the county catch many drug traffickers. From now on, he will be a part of our logistics department!"
When everyone heard this, they all applauded, except for one person who had a dull expression and clapped perfunctorily.
Lin Chaoyang noticed it, but he didn't care. Maybe his family just wasn't that enthusiastic.
After arranging a workstation for Lin Chaoyang, Zhang Qinghong came over and started asking about his situation.
"Comrade Xiaolin, do you have a partner?"
Lin Chaoyang quickly shook his head, "No, I haven't thought about it yet."
Zhang Qinghong looked confused, "I heard that people in rural areas get married early. Didn't your parents arrange one for you?"
Lin Chaoyang blushed a little, and a big sister next to him said mischievously, "Comrade Xiao Lin, she is the gossiper in our department. She has to ask a few questions about everyone who comes."
Zhang Qinghong scolded him with a smile, and the elder sister laughed again, "Not only is she nosy, but she's also a trumpeter. If she knows anything, the whole coal mine will know it."
Another colleague echoed, "A person like Sister Hong should go to the Propaganda Department. They will make everything clear to you, big or small!"
