Chapter 276 Details Determine Success or Failure
The north wind is howling and the cold wind is biting.
There were several snowfalls in Zhaojiatun, and in the blink of an eye it was the seventh day of the New Year.
Uncle Zhao suddenly came to his second brother Zhao Tiezhu's house and discussed some things with him in the main room.
Not long after he finished speaking, he left again.
Zhao Tiezhu and his wife Wang Caihong thought about the matter carefully and felt that it was a good idea, and they were somewhat tempted.
But I still need to discuss this with my son.
However, things do not wait for anyone, so Wang Caihong immediately called her youngest son from the next room to the main room for a talk.
"Congcong, you are grown up now. You will be 19 years old in two days. Your father and I don't have much ability.
I have no ability to find a good way out for you, everything depends on you."
Zhao Cong remained silent, blinking a few times subconsciously, as if thinking about something.
"In a few days, it will be time to sign up for the military. Your father and I hope you will join the army and go out and experience the world.
If you stay in the village, you can only do farm work to make ends meet."
"Your father and I have the same idea as your uncle. He hopes you will join the army, but you are the one who makes the decision. Which of the two paths do you choose?"
Father Zhao took a puff of his tobacco, looked at his wife, and waited to hear his son's answer.
I heard from the second brother that he would help his younger brother find a job in the city.
But it costs money and time, and I don’t know exactly when I can wait.
Waiting at home will only make you grow older and waste your time. Being in the army will give you a monthly subsidy and you can be arranged a job when you come back, so it's a good place to go no matter how you think about it.
What's more, now is not the same as before, and being a soldier does not mean you have to go to the battlefield to fight immediately.
Zhao Cong thought about it for a while, and without much hesitation, he quickly came up with the answer.
He wasn't too moved by the idea of joining the army, but he knew that farming at home had no future.
"I'm going to join the army, but why did uncle suddenly think of bringing this up?"
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao's father and mother breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Tiezhu smiled and said, "Everyone in your generation has found a way out. If you are the only one left, your family will naturally consider and make plans for you."
Zhao Cong didn't quite believe this. Although his uncle was the village chief, he was definitely not someone who meddles in other people's business.
He joins the army every year, and he graduated last summer. If you really wanted to consider him, why didn't you mention it last fall?
It's obvious that there's a villain behind this.
As for the reason, he and I both know it clearly.
Zhao Sheng was seven years older than him and had not spent much time with him, but he still knew him to some extent.
His second brother never does anything without a purpose.
He doesn't care about useless people or things. His ex-wife was completely ignored by him.
The person died in a car accident. Apart from calling his uncle to mention the matter of engraving the inscription on the tombstone, he did not show up at all.
The departure of some people is just like the changing of seasons to him.
Don't care.
After Zhao Cong agreed to join the army, things were quickly put on track. After his birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month, he registered, filled out his file, and underwent a physical examination and political review.
There were many people who signed up to join the army, but with the help of Uncle Zhao, Zhao Cong was naturally on the list.
After the Chinese New Year, the Zhao family returned to their peaceful life.
Zhao Xing and his family returned to the provincial capital to work, and Zhao Sheng and Zhao Liren returned to Ze County Steel Plant.
Zhao Li was the last to leave. When the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University started, it was also the time for Zhao Cong to undergo a physical examination and political review.
As soon as everyone left.
Most of the house was empty, with only the elderly, women and children left, Lin Yiyi, her sister-in-law, two nephews, and her parents-in-law.
Because Lin Yiyi is older and clumsy, she basically stays indoors every day.
There was snow and ice outside, so it was impossible to walk in the yard.
The days were so boring.
There is nothing to do except reading a few books over and over again.
Ze County.
The first day Zhao Sheng returned to the city to work, he went to the raw material mine and asked an old headhunter to order a few live pheasants, but they would be needed in March or April.
After a busy day, Zhao Sheng returned to Ze County in the evening. After handing over the work in his hands, he went to Director Xu's house under the cover of darkness.
He left behind a ten-year-old ginseng that he had prepared long ago, said a few meaningless words, and returned to the family compound.
The next day.
There was a small disturbance in the factory, but the gossip atmosphere was obviously much more depressing due to the news of the death of a big shot.
There were no rumors spreading like in the past.
The small two-bedroom apartment vacated by the transport team last year has long been coveted by many people, but since it is not the staff housing for their own department, most of them can only envy it.
But there are many people who ask about it.
Zhao Sheng bought the house at a bargain price at the end of December last year. By January, when others were busy with New Year's preparations, he had almost finished cleaning up the house.
All the big items are ready, you can move in directly as long as you bring your luggage.
But all this was done quietly.
By the time the New Year holiday is over, those who are still thinking about the house will come and ask about it, but it has already been taken by someone else.
So there was a small quarrel.
Zhao Sheng's three years of work experience and fourth-level employee level are not enough to qualify for applying for a small two-bedroom apartment.
But he just happens to be lucky.
The transport team just happened to have this small two-bedroom apartment vacant, and older employees who had been in the team longer than him had already been allocated a larger house.
So this matter just happened to fall on him.
This is the truth: it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
In fact, there is another candidate who can apply for this house like him.
It’s Zhang Yanli.
However, the people in the transport team did not have a very good impression of him, and there were some opinions that were not expressed openly.
The reason is very simple. Wang Daqiang was transferred and resigned, and he was the one who benefited the fastest at the height of the storm.
No matter how you think about it, you feel like there is something fishy going on.
No matter what the truth is.
With this previous experience as a lesson, the people in the transport team became somewhat wary and cautious of him.
A person who can make old employees lose everything with just one move is not someone you want to mess with.
On the contrary, Zhao Sheng is a man of few words in the factory.
Be down-to-earth and work hard to do your job well.
There is no overt action to form cliques or curry favor with anyone, nor does he have too many personal relationships with anyone.
He Qi, the only partner with whom he has a close relationship, is also a loyal and righteous person.
He Qi was taken to the police station twice and others avoided him.
Only Zhao Sheng interacted with He Qi's family, and everyone saw them talking at the gate of the family compound.
In addition, considering what Master Guan, the nice guy from the transport team said, they had no objection to him taking the small two-bedroom apartment.
It's just a matter of moving a year or two earlier.
Lihua Alley in Ze County.
The things Zhao Sheng had ordered in the past few days were moved into his "relatives'" small courtyard one after another.
It's the kind of relationship where we're relatives and only make five dollars a month.
There are four and a half houses in the yard, half of which is a kitchen, and the other four can be used for living.
One dollar a month for a room.
Zhao Sheng took two rooms, and the remaining two were reserved for his eldest cousin's family.
One of the rooms has a good orientation and can see the pear tree in the yard, and the furnishings inside are also the best.
All bed sheets and quilts are provided.
The other room has a single bed and a baby cot.
This is left for Aunt Sun to live with her children.
Zhao Sheng planned to drive over to pick up Lin Yiyi in early March, where she would be taken care of by his eldest cousin’s wife and Aunt Sun.
After the child was born, Aunt Sun took care of the child while my cousin's wife cooked and did the laundry.
Lin Yiyi can just take good care of herself and recuperate after the baby is born, and his biological mother is not within his consideration.
Not only did he not cause any more trouble, he also made Lin Yiyi unhappy.
After the child was born and registered, he took his wife and child back to the steel plant to live in the new house a hundred days later.
It is actually better to live there for more than half a year. If you go back to the steel plant, it will be difficult to ask Aunt Sun to take care of the children.
Working-class families do not tolerate nanny capitalism.
Everything is going according to Zhao Sheng’s plan, and the future is promising.
