Chapter 43 Recruitment
Ding Dayong was so excited that he almost stood up and said, "Sister, is there anyone hiring in the city? Would they hire me?"
Ding Guo nodded and said, "There are two places that recruit temporary workers. One is Fengning Garment Factory recruiting loaders, and the other is Fengning Transportation Company recruiting escorts. I thought of letting you try your luck. If you can apply for the job, at least it's a job, and you can slowly become a regular employee when there is a suitable opportunity in the future. Although the hope is slim, if you don't even go, then there is no hope at all."
Ding Zhicheng, this honest man, was also a little excited, and said firmly: "Go, no matter what, we have to go and take a look. If they want us, that's the best. If they don't want us, we can go to the city to broaden our horizons."
Peng Guihua also nodded repeatedly, her eyes red.
Regardless of whether it will succeed or not, this is Ding Guo’s intention.
The child is thinking about helping her younger brother.
For example, the uncle of these children has been in the city for so many years, she didn't believe that he didn't even have information about a temporary job, but he never called his hometown to ask someone to try for him.
Come to think of it, Ding Zhigang and his wife didn't even arrange a job for their own daughter, let alone their nephew who is a step below them.
"Daniel, we won't say any more polite words, your aunt will remember them all."
Ding Guo said, "Aunt San, I remember all the kindness you guys have shown me. But this is just an opportunity. If it doesn't work out, let Dayong stay in the city for a while. I'll look for other job openings."
Peng Guihua shook her head: "If it doesn't work, let him come back quickly. If he stays for too long, your mother will be dissatisfied."
I heard from my eldest sister-in-law before that the place they live in is so small that it is not as spacious as the houses in the village. Even if Dayong sleeps on the floor, it is not very convenient for people to go in and out. It may be okay for one or two days, but who can be happy for a long time?
Ding Guo patted his head and said, "I forgot to tell you that there are too many dirty things at home. I am not comfortable living there, so I found a house to move out and live by myself. The house is spacious and has a small yard. I asked Dayong to live with me. It's just right for him to keep me company."
Peng Guihua was surprised and distressed.
If her parents loved Dani'er so much, why would the child not live at home? Why would she have to spend money to rent a house outside?
Next, Peng Guihua began to pack things for her eldest son.
Bring two sets of clothes for summer, two sets of clothes for autumn, and don’t worry about winter.
After all, I don’t know if it will succeed.
It's hard to find a job in the city, and it's not easy to salvage a job.
But Danier also said that if you try, there is still some hope, but if you don’t even try, there is no hope at all.
The next day, Ding Guo received a telegram from Xiao Hong, informing her that the interview time at the garment factory had been set.
Ding Guo looked at the calendar and thought that there was still enough time for them to rest for two days after they returned.
Two days later, Ding Guo and Ding Dayong boarded the return train.
In addition to Ding Dayong's clothes, Peng Guihua also packed 50 kilograms of corn, 30 kilograms of wheat and two days' worth of dry food for the two.
The dry food on the first day was vegetarian buns and a few salted eggs; the dry food on the second day was steamed buns, corn bread and shrimp paste.
It’s hot, so I don’t dare prepare too much for them.
Instead, I packed in a few pickled cabbages that I had made myself.
Ding Guo didn't want to let Third Aunt take the corn and wheat, but he tried to stop her for a long time and failed, so he had to take them.
Because Ding Dayong was there, she couldn't collect the food into the space, so the two of them returned to Fengning carrying 80 kilograms of food.
Including the several hours of reversing and waiting along the way, it took about two and a half days to get back to the city.
Tired to death!
After arriving in Fengning, I did not return to the steel plant’s family quarters, but went directly to the rental house.
Ding Guo has already cleaned up the rental house, but Ding Dayong's bedroom is still missing a bed. She will sleep on the floor for two days while she goes to the flea market to see if she can find a bed. If she can't find one, she will just get a wooden board and build a bed with bricks.
After getting home and putting down their things, Ding Guo took Ding Dayong to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, fetched some water and took a simple shower. Ding Dayong fell on the floor and snored loudly.
I didn't get much rest on the train.
Ding Guo also quickly slipped into the space and took a good shower. He did not dare to stay in the space to rest. He went out, lay on the bed in the rental house, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
It was just past four in the afternoon. If she woke up naturally in the space, it would probably not even be midnight outside, but the second half of the night would be difficult to endure.
When he woke up, it was past five o'clock the next day and Ding Dayong was still sleeping.
This cousin is not the type who doesn't care about anything. He is a responsible child. He took care of Ding Guo everywhere on the train. He looked after things by himself and managed to stay awake with almost no sleep. He was exhausted.
Ding Guo bought two bowls of hand-rolled noodles, a dozen golden and crispy fried dough sticks, and millet porridge from the system mall.
She ate a bowl of noodles, two fried dough sticks, drank half a bowl of millet porridge, and put the remaining half bowl on the coffee table in the living room to drink at noon.
Keep the rest for Ding Dayong.
She poured the portion for Ding Dayong into the blue-rimmed bowl she bought, and took back the tableware that came with the shopping mall after eating.
I was worried that the noodles would clump together, so I put them in some space.
Ding Dayong slept until half past six and his eyes were still a little red.
While he was washing up, Ding Guo put out the breakfast he had prepared and said, "Come and eat after you finish cleaning up."
Ding Dayong wiped the water off his face and walked into the house. He was stunned when he saw the food on the table. He said, "Sister, you don't have to eat so well in the future. Do you have cornmeal at home? I'll make two pots of steamed bread and cut some pickled vegetables. It's enough to fill my stomach."
Ding Guo laughed and said, "You can also make steamed bread?"
Ding Dayong smiled and said, "Yes, it's not difficult to steam dry food and cook. I'm not as good as my mother, but I can make do."
After dinner, Ding Dayong went out to wash the dishes, picked up the broom in the corner and swept the yard.
After packing up, he scratched his head and said, "Sister, are you going to visit my grandpa and grandma today?"
Although his parents had a lot of complaints about his uncle and aunt, he had come to Fengning anyway and couldn't help but visit them.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll go after the work is done. Otherwise, if your uncle asks you why you came to Fengning, you can't say you came here to see them, right? That would be too shameless of them. If you tell the truth, it would be equivalent to leaking information. Remember, there are no good people in that family, so you should be on guard against them."
He added: "If the job is done, tell them; if it's not done, let your uncle find a job for you. Don't be polite then, just bring it up openly."
When Ding Dayong was at home, he heard his mother talk about what happened to his eldest sister at home, and he was very angry.
He came over and squatted beside Ding Guo, looking up and said, "Sister, how about I go beat up Brother Jianguo and the others to vent your anger!"
"You have nothing to do. Do you need to do anything to deal with them? Forget about it. Come on, I'll take you to get a haircut first. Let's get dressed up and have the interview the day after tomorrow."
Ding Dayong touched his long hair and said in annoyance, "I forgot about it. I should have asked my mother to cut it earlier."
After taking Ding Dayong to get a haircut, the brother and sister visited several scrap collection stations, carried back a sturdy wooden board, and left it in the sun for several hours.
Bricks were not easy to find, so I found a few and barely made a low shop, and then I would slowly finish it later.
On the day of the interview at the garment factory, Ding Dayong got up early in the morning, swept the yard, heated up the steamed bread he had made the day before, and fried some shredded pickles with oil as Ding Guo had instructed.
His sister bought some dried chili peppers from somewhere, and asked him to stir-fry them. They were really delicious.
The steamed bread is not made of pure cornmeal. A small amount of flour is mixed in. It doesn’t taste so choking. Ding Guo quite likes it.
As for cornmeal and flour, Ding Guo bought them from the system mall, and he didn't grind the corn kernels and wheat he brought.
Ding Guo could see that Ding Dayong was a little nervous during the meal, so she smiled and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, just relax."
Ding Dayong asked, "Why do stevedores need to take literacy tests?"
He graduated from junior high school, so his academic qualifications should be fine, but his academic performance was not very good when he was in school, so he was worried that he would not be able to pass the first hurdle.
"They can't hire an illiterate person." Ding Guo said with a smile, "You don't have to worry too much. This kind of cultural test is usually not difficult. Besides, today is just registration, not the exam right away, why are you afraid?"
Ding Dayong nodded.
After dinner, Ding Guo chased Ding Dayong back to change into the clothes she bought for him. The brother and sister took the city bus to the garment factory in high spirits.
On the way, Ding Dayong asked quietly: "Sister, when will the interview for the escort worker be held?"
He would rather be a truck escort than a loader.
It’s not that he is picky, he just thinks that being a guard gives him a chance to learn how to drive.
If he can pass the interview for the loader today, he will stay and do the job, but when the interview for the escort worker comes, he also wants to go and take a look.
In fact, not only Ding Dayong, but Ding Guo also had the same idea.
But she also has concerns, it seems that sports cars are particularly dangerous in this era, but there are also many opportunities.
In addition to broadening your horizons, you can also collect great things from all over the world.
What’s more important is what Ding Dayong wants, that is to have the opportunity to learn how to drive.
But this is actually difficult.
Nowadays, everyone takes their own skills very seriously. It is wishful thinking to think that you can learn other people's skills just by becoming familiar with them. You must work hard and strive to find a master.
It all depends on Ding Dayong's luck.
But it’s a bit early to say this now, we may not even be able to get through the door.
"There are still seven or eight days left at the beginning of next month." Ding Guo said, "Let's try each one and do our best."
"Sister, I understand!"
I accompanied Ding Dayong to an interview today. She also has an interview the day after tomorrow, for an apprentice position in a food factory.
The food factory requires urban household registration, but there is no requirement for loaders and escorts.
Otherwise, I could take Ding Dayong to the food factory to have a look. After all, this job is easy and clean.
When he arrived at the entrance of the garment factory, Ding Guo saw Xiao Hong at a glance.
Xiao Hong looked thinner than last time, which showed that even though she was the one who broke up with Ding Jianguo, she herself was not feeling good about it.
But it is better to feel uncomfortable for a while than to suffer for a lifetime.
"Sister Ding Guo!" Xiao Hong saw Ding Guo, smiled and waved, and ran over. Her eyes fell on Ding Dayong and she was slightly stunned.
The Ding family members are all good-looking. Ding Dayong and Ding Jianguo have some similarities in their eyebrows and eyes. This makes Xiao Hong feel as if her heart is pricked by a needle, and it hurts slightly.
Of course, she would not target Ding Dayong for this reason.
On the contrary, it can be seen at a glance that cousin Ding Guo is not as slick as Ding Jianguo at all.
The so-called slipperyness can only be seen when she changes the angle, distances herself from it and tastes it carefully.
There had been no such discovery before that night.
Moreover, Ding Dayong looks like a simple country boy with clear eyes.
She glanced away and looked away, then spoke to Ding Guo: "When did you come back?"
"The day before yesterday!" Ding Guo held her arm and whispered with concern: "Are you okay?"
Xiao Hong nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Ding Guo, I'm fine."
When I broke up with Ding Jianguo, my family was surprisingly supportive.
Although Ding Jianguo came to find her later, she avoided him every time.
Now the two of them have no relationship at all.
"Come on, I'll take you in to fill out the registration form." Xiao Hong whispered, "Register today, and then have an interview and a rough screening. The test will be tomorrow. Tell your cousin not to be too nervous, just answer whatever is asked. The test content won't be difficult. After all, loaders still rely on strength, and the main thing is physique. Your brother is used to doing farm work, so there must be no problem with his physique."
After giving some instructions, Xiao Hong went to work, and Ding Guo accompanied Ding Dayong to register.
Ding Dayong was still nervous and his palms were sweaty.
When filling out the application form, I wiped my hands vigorously on my clothes before picking up the pencil.
After filling out the form, he queued up for the interview. When it was his turn, Ding Guo found that the child was walking with his hands and feet shaky and couldn't help laughing.
The interview didn't take long and it only took a few minutes.
Ding Guo asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
Ding Dayong felt much better now, grinning, "It's OK, not that scary, they asked me to carry a bag of things back and forth, told me I was in good shape, and then said it was OK, I should come for the test at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
This means you passed the interview.
The next morning, Ding Dayong finished the garment factory's exam and told the factory to post the admission notice in three days and to come and see it himself.
Ding Dayong's interview was over, and he was about to have an interview with Dingguo Food Factory.
Ding Guo got up in the morning, went into the space to take a shower, and made himself feel refreshed.
He was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, army green pants, and black cloth shoes.
She also used the cheating spray to improve her affinity and try her best to get the job at the food factory.
After raising it for so many days, this palm-sized little face finally doesn't look so scary anymore.
Ding Dayong naturally had to accompany them, and the brother and sister went out together and went to the food factory.
Ding Guo also realized that this was a factory that made bread, snacks and the like.
Compared to the recruitment of loaders at the garment factory, the food factory was much busier. The number of people was at least three times that of that day. The fierce competition could be felt before it even started.
