Chapter 69: Chance Encounter
early morning.
Zhao Yi came to the repair shop of the department store. At this time, a comrade from the Transportation Department was already waiting at the door. He had a brief handover with Zhao Yi, handed the home appliances delivered today to Zhao Yi, asked Zhao Yi to sign, and then left.
After opening the door of the repair shop, Zhao Yi began to repair the two radios that had been delivered.
The radio was repaired in a short time. Seeing that no one came to repair the home appliance, Zhao Yi, who had nothing to do, started reading the newspaper.
"I really don't know how many home appliances Master Wang squeezed in the past. When he first came, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat."
Zhao Yi muttered a few words while looking at the newspaper.
Zhao Yi didn't know how much time had passed while reading the newspaper. He looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost time to get off work.
"This is how a normal maintenance worker should live."
Zhao Yi put on a smile and prepared to go off work.
"Master, please help me work overtime."
A familiar voice sounded.
Zhao Yi turned around and saw that it was Deng Min.
"Sister Deng."
"Xiao Zhao."
Deng Min looked at Zhao Yi in surprise.
"Is the radio at Sister Deng's house broken?"
"Well, it's been broken for a while. The last time Master Wang came, he couldn't fix it. Our supply and marketing cooperative hasn't been able to take a leave, so I heard that a skilled repairman has come. I took an hour off today and rushed over. I didn't expect you to be off work soon."
Deng Min looked at Zhao Yi and smiled.
"You don't have to help others, but you have to help Sister Deng. Working overtime is nothing."
Zhao Yi joked, then took the repair order and the radio and started working on it. Deng Min walked to the state-owned restaurant not far away and soon brought two dishes, one of shredded potatoes with green peppers and one of tofu soup.
I ran back and bought some steamed bread.
"Xiao Zhao, stop working and eat your meal."
Deng Min shouted.
"It will be fine in a moment, Sister Deng, just eat first and don't worry about me. I've been working overtime a lot lately."
Zhao Yi responded while lowering his head to work.
"Xiao Zhao, you just won't listen to advice. The weather is cold now, and the food will get cold and not taste good if left out for a while. Eat first and then get busy."
Deng Min said with a straight face.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, big sister."
Zhao Yi smiled, put down the tools in his hands and started eating lunch with Deng Min.
"The last time you came to our supply and marketing cooperative wearing work clothes, I thought you went to work in that factory. I didn't expect you to be a maintenance worker. I didn't realize you had such skills."
Deng Min and Zhao Yi have been in contact for a long time and have dealt with each other a lot. When they chat, it is more like a conversation between friends.
"Hehe, you can't judge a person by his appearance, you can't measure the depth of the ocean, and you can't show off your skills everywhere, right?"
Zhao Yi smiled.
The two of them finished their meal while chatting. Zhao Yi returned to the maintenance table to continue his work, while Deng Min returned the plates and bowls from the state-owned restaurant.
When Deng Min came back, Zhao Yi had already repaired the radio.
"Not bad, not bad. You really have this skill. Next time someone comes to our supply and marketing cooperative to ask about maintenance workers, I will recommend you one."
Deng Min said with a smile on her face.
I've made several trips to fix this thing, and today I finally got it fixed.
The two chatted briefly for a few more sentences before Zhao Yi closed the door and went home.
"Working overtime again today?"
Zhang Jing was eating at this time. She knew that Zhao Yi had not returned because some workers had brought home appliances to ask Zhao Yi to help work overtime.
"I met Sister Deng. She came to repair the radio. She happened to be off work. Since we are friends, she helped me work overtime. She had to accept a gift and forced me to give her a pack of cigarettes."
Zhao Yi took out the Daqianmen that Deng Min had stuffed into his pocket before leaving and said with a smile.
Zhang Jing had heard of Deng Min many times. She was the one who received Zhao Yi every time he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell things. Sometimes she would also give Zhao Yi something as a gift. If Zhao Yi declined, Deng Min would say that she was giving it to herself to eat.
"By the way, Xiaojing, how long do you have to study?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and asked.
"The master took me to see the workshop director today. He said that I was smart and could learn things quickly, and wanted me to stay in the garment factory as an apprentice for a long time. I was undecided and didn't answer. He said he would go home and discuss it with you."
Only then did Zhang Jing remember the important matter.
"You are not a technician at the factory, and your household registration is not from the city, so you cannot be a regular employee. You can only be an apprentice for a long time, and you only get 14 yuan a month. You don't get the treatment that a worker should get.
It’s better to just use a sewing machine at home and earn at least 12 yuan a month. ”
After thinking about it, Zhao Yi decided not to recommend Zhang Jing to become an apprentice.
As for the issue of children's education in the future, having Zhao Yi as a formal employee can completely solve this problem. Although there is no school in the department store, it is linked to knitted fabrics, which include textile factories and garment factories.
Naturally, these are the benefits that large companies should have, so Zhao Yi doesn't need to worry about this issue.
"Then I will go and talk to my master about this problem this afternoon. After one week of study, I will no longer need to go. Now my master has helped me to master many things."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
Zhao Yi would pick out some of the gifts he received and let Zhang Jing take them to give to his master. After giving them to his master twice, the master felt a little embarrassed and taught Zhang Jing to do it by oral instruction. He asked for an extra set of tools from the logistics department and let Zhang Jing work with him at the operating table next to him.
After get off work, everyone stayed in the workshop to teach Zhang Jing how to operate the sewing machine for half an hour. Zhang Jing can now catch up with those workers who have just entered the factory to replace the workers.
"But you don't have to rush to tell me. I want to ask someone if they can solve your household registration problem. If they can, it would be best if you can be converted to a regular employee when there are quotas for regularization.
Your family doesn't need you to work hard to earn money, so just think of it as studying for a while longer. ”
After chatting with Zhang Jing for a while, it was almost time to go to work.
Only then did Zhao Yi send Zhang Jing towards the garment factory.
After returning to the department store, Zhao Yi went to Director Li's office.
"Master Zhao is here, please sit down, what can I do for you?"
Director Li looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"Director Li, I just want to ask, my wife is pregnant, she definitely can't do any farm work to earn work points in her hometown, and I don't want to send her back, I want to ask if it's possible to solve her household registration problem, who would be the most suitable person to ask for this question?"
Zhao Yi said somewhat embarrassedly.
"This problem is a bit complicated, but it's not impossible to do, it's just more troublesome."
Director Li looked at Zhao Yi and said.
It is more difficult to convert farmers into non-farmers nowadays, but it is still possible. However, according to Director Li's words, Zhao Yi will have to prepare a lot of gifts to get this done.
Transferring household registration and food supply is much simpler than getting a job, especially since Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing are husband and wife. Zhao Yi is also considered a technician in the city. These people in the city have home appliances and will need Zhao Yi at some point in their lives.
