In mid-June, several large factories in the county began recruiting workers, and junior high school graduates were eligible to apply. In the past few years, the situation in the county was serious, and the factories with good performance only announced the vacancies internally, and all the recruitment was done through connections.
This time, several large companies are recruiting a lot of people together, so the news was announced to the public.
It was the time when high school and junior high school graduates were about to go on vacation, and with the addition of educated youth from various towns and villages in the county, although there were many people to recruit, the competition was also very fierce.
When a worker in the village who worked in the county town heard the news, he sent a message back immediately.
Everyone was working in the fields when the village's gongs, drums and radio began to sound.
Almost all the children in the family who have graduated from junior high school or high school are busy. After all, it is too difficult for people in rural areas to make a name for themselves nowadays. The best chance to change their fate is to pass the worker exam and get a stable job.
Because Shen Anning was already a village doctor and had a family to take care of, it was not realistic for her to go to the county to work. When she heard the news, she just listened to it and passed it by.
However, the people at the two educated youth sites were all trying their best to take advantage of this opportunity to try to pass the exam. After all, they had no hope of returning to the city, and it was a rare opportunity to have a regular job.
As usual, Shen An Ning was sorting things in the infirmary. Shen Zixi was now one year and eight months old. Running and jumping were no problem for him. He was very curious about everything. Shen An Ning arranged him to sit on the bench and pick beans.
"Xixi, separate the yellow and red beans. Auntie will make you something delicious later."
The little guy didn't even raise his head, and didn't stop the movement of his hands, "Okay, auntie, the baby wants to eat noodles and eggs."
When Xu Hongxia and Qian Hui walked in, they saw such a loving scene. The girl was sitting quietly on a chair reading a book, and the little girl was sitting beside her, picking beans with her head down and counting random numbers aloud.
"Hey, you two aunt and niece are really relaxed. Wow, baby Xixi is so well behaved."
Shen Anning put down the book in her hand with a smile, and watched Xu Hongxia pick up Xixi. "Why are you two here together today? Did you hear the broadcast just now?"
"That's why I came to see you."
Leaning on the table, Xu Hongxia said, "An Ning, you know, although there aren't many middle school and high school students in the village, there are still more than a dozen. Heishan County has so many towns, hundreds of villages, and several large farms. I guess everyone will sign up for the exam. We didn't bring textbooks when we came here to work in the countryside, so we came to borrow some books from you."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Shen Anning went to the north room and took out the high school textbooks given to her by the school. She only had one set, but the female educated youth at the educated youth site all had a good relationship and got along well with each other, so one set was enough for everyone to take turns reading.
He brought out a stack of books and placed them on the table in the infirmary. "Here, all the books from the first and second year of high school are here. My notes are also in there. Go back and take a look to see if they have any reference value."
Qian Hui and Xu Hongxia looked at the pile of books, their eyes shining. "Thank you, An Ning, thank you so much. If I can pass the exam, I will treat you to a big meal. If not, I will treat you to a meal that I cook myself."
Hahahahahahahahaha, "Okay, I'm looking forward to the feast, your cooking skills are not something I'm particularly interested in."
After seeing off Xu Hongxia and Qian Hui, Shen Anning looked at Xixi who was sitting on the stool. She looked at people with her big grape-like eyes, which was really cute.
Opening her arms, she said, "Come on, give Auntie a hug, and let's go make dinner, okay?"
"Um."
I don’t know if it’s because she comes from the Northeast, but compared to rice, Xixi likes pasta, buns, steamed buns, and noodles more. She eats them in rotation and never gets tired of them.
At the end of June, Shen Anning went to the county to take the high school graduation examination. Because their class of students only started school in April last year, they only took one and a half years to complete two years of coursework. Special circumstances were treated specially. In order to prepare for the county's large-scale recruitment, several high schools also tried their best to have more students from their schools take the exam. In particular, parents of students in the city made great efforts to prevent their children from going to the countryside. Those with connections used connections, and those with money spent money.
The people in the village didn't have any special skills, so they could only let their children read more books. During this period, there were no more junior high school and high school students in the fields, and the educated youth also spent all their available time studying.
Several large factories may have agreed to schedule the exams on the same day and at the same time, which means everyone only has one chance, so choice is very important.
The factories that recruited the most workers this time were machinery factories and machine tool factories, as well as food factories, textile factories, and glass factories. Among them, the machinery factories offered the best treatment, with workers' wages and benefits being better than those in the other factories.
Xu Hongxia and Qian Hui discussed it with each other and applied for clerical positions in a food factory and a textile factory respectively. After all, girls have limited physical strength, and it is not realistic for them to work as workers in places like machinery factories.
Shen Anning got up early in the morning and cooked some eggs. She gave one to each educated youth at the village entrance as her blessing.
On the day of the exam, the gates of several recruiting factories were full of people. Everyone had registered at the factory in advance, so the exam rooms were also assigned. Technical positions not only required cultural knowledge, but also some knowledge about mechanics.
Without taking the exam, Shen An Ning didn't know how difficult the questions were. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the mood to work that day, she took Xixi to the farm. Now that Xixi is getting older, Shen An Ning has also deliberately taught her some things at home.
