at the same time.
Director Wang from the Subdistrict Office has already reached the gate of the courtyard.
Siheyuan.
It's lunch time now. Several middle-aged women are washing vegetables and chatting by the sink.
Jia Zhang whispered, "Have you heard? That bad boy Liu Xiaojun went to the steel mill this morning. He must be out of money and looking for a job!"
Second Auntie pursed her lips in disdain. "Liu Xiaojun has never been to school and doesn't have any skills, yet he wants to take advantage of others. What kind of place is a steel mill? Does he deserve it?"
The third aunt also said: "Haha, I guess, the meat at home has finally run out, and they can't afford to eat anymore, so they want to look for a job."
When it comes to eating meat, Aunt Jia looks angry.
Liu Xiaojun, this unwanted little bastard, took advantage of the fact that he had hunted a few times and eaten some meat and didn't take her seriously.
Dongxu told himself that he met Liu Xiaojun at the entrance of the steel rolling mill in the morning. This little bastard actually wanted to go for an interview for the position of fitter.
He thought the steel mill belonged to his family, and he even interviewed for a fitter position. It would be a big deal if he could become an ordinary worker!
These are not the main points. The main point is that this little bastard probably has no money to squander.
Thinking of this, Jia Zhang was extremely proud.
My son Jia Dongxu passed the exam to become a first-level fitter from a fitter apprentice this year, and his salary increased from 27.5 yuan to 33 yuan!
With such a big happy event at home, we must eat meat!
Just this morning, I went to the pigeon market and bought two taels of fat meat.
As Second Auntie was washing vegetables, she saw the meat in Auntie Jia's vegetable bowl and was immediately surprised: "Oh, sister-in-law, your family is eating meat now!"
Aunt Jia tried hard to pretend she didn't notice Second Aunt's envious look and said nonchalantly, "Oh, how did you know our Dongxu passed the exam to become a first-class fitter?"
"What? Dongxu passed the exam to become a first-level fitter?"
This time, not only the second aunt was surprised, but also the women next to her.
There was envy in their eyes.
Jia Dongxu is worthy of being the apprentice of the sixth-level fitter. It has only been a short time since he was promoted from a fitter apprentice to a first-level fitter.
How much better life would be for this family!
A woman said with fiery eyes, "Aunt Jia, your son Dongxu is so outstanding! No one in our compound's sons is as outstanding as your Dongxu!"
A woman flattered him, "Your Dongxu is already a first-class fitter. He might even become a director or something in the factory. When he does, please help take care of my brat."
The other woman quickly snatched the vegetables from Jia Zhang's hand: "Yes, Aunt Jia, why are you washing vegetables in this freezing weather? I'll wash them for you! But, when Dongxu becomes successful, you can also take my second son as your apprentice!"
"Not everyone can be a fitter. Some people think they can become rich and powerful after eating meat for a few days, but after eating it, they still can't afford to eat." Aunt Jia said casually as she looked at those who came to please her one by one.
Then he received a burst of courtesy from the woman next to him.
"Yeah, having meat for a few days a day is nothing. Your Dongxu has become a first-class fitter this time, so he must have meat every meal in the future!"
Aunt Jia glanced at Widow Liu who was coming towards her with a basin of vegetables.
She said, "Widow Liu, your son went to the steel mill this morning and said he wanted to be a fitter. He's got his eyes wide open, and you, as a mother, don't do anything about it."
Liu Huizhen doesn't like people talking about Liu Xiaojun.
He said angrily, "Whether I succeed or not is none of your business."
They came to their house several times to beg for meat, and now that they can't get any advantage, they started targeting them, an orphan and a widow. Liu Huizhen didn't want to tolerate it anymore!
Aunt Jia glared:
"Widow Liu, how can you say that? There are three people in your family, and none of them has a proper job. Look at what else you can eat after you finish eating the meat. Are you jealous that my Dongxu is a first-class fitter?"
Hearing this, a hint of loneliness flashed in Liu Huizhen's eyes.
Originally, her husband had a stable job, but now that he is missing, the whole family really has no stable source of income.
Liu Huizhen had experienced hunger and knew what it felt like. She was very worried that all the food at home would be eaten up and she would have no financial resources to buy food. What would she do then?
However, this is just my own idea, and it doesn't mean that I have to suffer the anger of Jia Zhang!
Liu Huizhen was just about to retort when the voice of Director Wang from the Street Office came from the door.
Director Wang: "Comrade Liu Huizhen, the Subdistrict Office is here to send you warmth!"
Liu Huizhen was stunned and pointed at herself and said, "Send me warmth?"
"Yes, you are one of the few poor households in our courtyard, and you are also a military family member. Our street office now has a cleaning job, 20 yuan a month, do you want to take it?"
Liu Huizhen's eyes suddenly turned red: "Go, go, go."
She was originally holding a vegetable basin, ready to wash the vegetables, and now she quickly placed the basin next to the sink.
He wiped his hands on his clothes and said, "Director Wang, I'll go! I can go right now!"
Liu Huizhen never thought that such a good opportunity would fall upon her.
What does it mean to work in a street office? It's basically equivalent to a stable job.
As long as I don't make any big mistakes and don't leave on my own initiative, I won't fire her easily.
Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office smiled at Liu Huizhen's excitement. She held Liu Huizhen's hand and said,
"Comrade Huizhen, don't get excited. I'm just here to inform you today. Just report to the neighborhood office early tomorrow morning!"
Tears flickered in Liu Huizhen's eyes, and she nodded hurriedly:
"Okay, okay, I will report on time tomorrow."
