Chapter 104 Li Baoguo
The captain of Lijia Village looked at Li Dashun and his son pulling him towards the brigade headquarters, and he felt a little confused. He almost cheated Li Dashun's family out of more than 200 yuan for a pack of cigarettes.
If the matter is really investigated, I will have to bear the brunt of it, after all, I am the guarantor.
However, Li Dashun did not pursue the matter afterwards, and Captain Li also replaced Li Dashun's wife with a scorekeeper as a compensation out of his conscience.
"Shunzi, what are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Captain Li was dragged to the team headquarters and asked in confusion.
"Baoguo wants to go to the region to work as a worker and came to you to get two letters of introduction and the grain transfer certificate."
Li Dashun couldn't stop smiling, but he spoke very softly.
"Shunzi hasn't learned enough from the last lesson. What's the next trick?"
Captain Li quickly consoled him.
"Captain, this time it's different. This is what my nephew came to tell me. It's a sure thing."
Li Dashun said in a low voice.
Captain Li was even more confused. Li Dashun had only one daughter, Li Daju, and she married to Wangou Village. Wangou Village was not as well off as Lijia Village, either in terms of population or food rations.
Besides, there is no side income from the county town, after all.
Wangou Village was not even considered for recruitment.
"Okay, be more careful. We can't see through the tricks of the scammers now, and we can't play with them."
Captain Li still gave Li Baoguo a letter of introduction, a certificate of household registration transfer, and a certificate of grain transfer.
The two returned home happily.
At this time, the aunt had already prepared the meal, and several uncles and aunts came over to see Zhao Yi and chat with him. No matter how the aunt persuaded him, he refused to sit at the table to eat. Now the food ration is fixed, and in the countryside, those with more work points will have more food rations at the end of the year.
However, with so many people eating one meal, I don’t know how many meals my eldest brother’s family will have to save to make up for it, so they all said they had already eaten.
After dinner, Zhao Yi was about to leave. Everyone knew that Zhao Yi was a worker now and must be very busy, so no one tried to keep him.
I just felt a little confused when I saw Li Baoguo leaving with them.
The family accompanied Zhao Yi to the brigade headquarters, and only stopped waving when they saw Li Baoguo and Zhao Yi jump onto the back of the tractor and drive away.
"What is Baoguo going to do?"
Everyone looked at their eldest brother in confusion and asked.
"We'll talk about this when we get back. There are too many people here."
Li Dashun led his family home.
After returning home, the family looked at Li Dashun curiously.
"Xiaoyi found a permanent job in the city, so he hurried over to bring Baoguo over. Everyone knows what happened last time. It would be embarrassing if he didn't succeed this time, so I didn't tell anyone."
Li Dashun looked at everyone and said in a low voice.
When Li Baoguo wanted to be a worker, Li Dashun's family spread the word so much that they wanted the whole village to know about it. In the end, it was discovered that he was a liar and he was laughed at by the villagers for many days.
When everyone heard this, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
"Brother, even if they recruit workers, they will definitely not select people from our rural household registration. It will definitely cost money. Didn't you pay back all the money you borrowed?"
"This time Xiaoyi said that he would pay Baoguo the money, and he would pay it back slowly after Baoguo got his salary. When Baoguo settles down, we can go to the city and ask around after the spring ploughing is over, and we'll know everything.
Xiaoyi must have taken leave to come here, so he can't be delayed too long. ”
Li Dashun said to everyone.
evening.
Area East City.
Zhao Yi brought his cousin Li Baoguo and came to Master Liu's house in the slum with some things in hand.
"Xiao Zhao is here, come in and sit down."
When Master Liu saw Zhao Yi, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Auntie, this is my cousin. Bring him over to show Uncle Zheng."
Zhao Yi introduced Li Baoguo to the two men. Li Baoguo was also smart and quickly took out the gifts he had bought in the county town and handed them to the two men.
"Okay, you're a smart guy. Meet me at the gate tomorrow morning. We'll go to the factory together to complete the handover."
Zheng Bo looked Li Baoguo up and down.
He was twenty-five or twenty-six years old and looked quite energetic, but his clothes were all patched up, and his life was much harder than that of most people in the area.
Li Baoguo hurriedly handed the envelope that Zhao Yi had given him to Zheng Bo.
After chatting for a while at Zheng Bo's house, Zheng Bo found that Li Baoguo was a child who grew up in hardship in the countryside and didn't talk much, so he felt much more relieved.
Zhao Yi arranged Li Baoguo to stay in a guesthouse as it was inconvenient to make arrangements at home.
Although I bought a bed, I didn't buy a quilt. Although the weather has improved a lot, it is still very cold at night.
After explaining something to his cousin, Zhao Yi went back home.
At this time, Zhang Jing was listening to the radio and making a fake collar.
"Where's my cousin?"
Zhang Jing saw that Zhao Yi was the only one there, and immediately asked.
"At the guesthouse, report with Zheng Bo tomorrow morning. When he's done, come find me. I'll take him to the second-hand market to buy bedding."
Zhao Yi smiled.
Zhang Jing nodded after listening.
early morning.
Li Baoguo got up early and waited at the gate of the slum. Soon he saw Zheng Bo coming out with a smile on his face.
"It's so early, have you eaten yet?"
Zheng Bo asked.
"I ate at the guesthouse."
Li Baoguo nodded.
Zhao Yi helped pay for the accommodation and breakfast at the guesthouse. At this moment, Li Baoguo didn't know how to thank Zhao Yi and repay this favor.
The two chatted casually and soon arrived at the food factory.
"Morning, Master Zheng."
Along the way, the familiar workers greeted Master Zheng, and Master Zheng responded one by one.
Soon the two arrived at the Labor and Personnel Department.
"Master Zheng really can't bear to stay for even one more day. He has already found someone to take over the shift so quickly."
The staff of the Labor and Personnel Department joked.
At the beginning of this year, Master Zheng came to him every now and then to ask when he could retire.
"I haven't stayed any longer. I've already stayed for two months. I'm waiting for my nephew to finish his work in the village and come over to take over. Well, let's not talk too much. Let's finish my retirement procedures. My grandchildren keep asking me to go to the park with them. Now I finally have time."
Master Zheng handed the prepared cigarettes to the staff.
Someone had been eyeing his job for a long time, and even offered 300 yuan, but Master Zheng refused. This was because his wife was afraid that her apprentice would not pass the assessment and was about to give birth, so he would not be able to enjoy the treatment of a formal employee, so he kept delaying it until now.
Otherwise, Master Zheng would have retired long ago.
"Okay, okay, don't rush me. I will arrange for you to retire with Master Zhou from Workshop 3 later."
The staff laughed.
Nowadays, when retiring, the factory will send them off with drums and gongs, hold a meeting to praise them, give them an honorary retirement certificate, and give them a hot water bottle with a big red flower, which will be knocked all the way to their home.
Master Zheng pushed Li Baoguo and quietly stuffed a pack of cigarettes prepared for him into Li Baoguo's hand, motioning Li Baoguo to hand over his letter of introduction, grain transfer certificate, and household registration transfer certificate.
