Wang Xiaolan shook her head and sighed, "Hey, Mom's not stupid. I've been asking about this all along, but I just can't get it! Nowadays, a job doesn't pay a few hundred yuan like you think, it pays seven or eight hundred yuan!"
And it doesn't matter, they don't even consider it! After all, who doesn't have a few poor relatives, who doesn't have a few friends and relatives who don't have enough money? "
This makes sense. After all, no one is stupid. Nowadays, the job market is a seller's market, and buyers can only be selected. Without special value, no one is willing to earn a few hundred dollars from you!
Wang Fugui shook his head and said, "It's too difficult to find a job now. When supplies are scarce, there's no shortage of people everywhere! We have to wait until supplies are restored before considering finding a suitable job. For now, we can only make do with what we have."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa, have you ever thought about the fact that a group of children will soon be growing up? If they don't find jobs now, they will have to compete with young people like Wubing who have gone to school for jobs in the future!"
This was the first time that everyone had heard this point of view, but when they thought about it carefully, it was so terrifying that everyone gasped!
Ye Wubing is fifteen this year, or sixteen years old. If he fails to get into technical secondary school this year, he may have to go out to work!
As for college, no one had ever thought about it! Because nowadays, college is really not something that ordinary people can attend. The political review is extremely strict, to an astonishing degree!
Anyway, if Ye Wubing failed to get into technical secondary school, Ye Zhiqiu would not even consider letting him go to high school or take the college entrance examination. He would either find him a job or arrange for him to join the army!
Otherwise, he would not be able to avoid going to the countryside to work. Only this arrangement can best protect him!
As for Ye Bailu, I will definitely have to retire and let the girl take over, so that the two of them won’t have to go to the countryside.
If it were a boy, going to the countryside would only bring him hardships. But for a girl, the place she would go to would be darker and her life would be ruined!
Liu Cuihua smiled and comforted him, "Well, don't overthink it. Just take it one step at a time. We're not at the end of our rope yet."
Ye Zhiqiu knew that they didn't understand what was going on in the countryside, so he asked several of his younger brothers and sisters to come over and tell everyone what would happen in the countryside.
In fact, we are all from the countryside and understand the countryside better than anyone else, especially the poor countryside at this time, which is really a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones!
Who among the city kids would know about water? They would even kill someone just to get it.
But whether it is Ye Tianya and the others, or Qian Dafu and the others, they are all very clear about this matter!
Liu Cuihua's smile faded. She asked worriedly, "Zhiqiu, will the reinforcements really run into Xiaofang and the others when you talk about going to the countryside?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Right now we're just encouraging people to sign up, but there are more and more people without jobs now. Can we just leave them alone?
For example, reinforcements will become adults in four or five years, but can you guarantee that they will have jobs? You have to know that this group of people has the largest number of people attending junior high school!
Therefore, it is best to resolve Aunt Liu's job as soon as possible. That way, if things really get this bad later, they can take over. As long as they have a job, they won't be forced to go to the countryside.
This is the arrangement at my house: if my second son works hard and gets admitted to a technical secondary school, I won’t have to worry about him anymore.
If he fails the exam, I will find him a job now or let him join the army!
As for my younger sister, when she comes out, my mother can retire and inherit her job, so she can avoid this wave!
When I joined the army, I also met people who volunteered to go to the countryside. Life there was miserable. A 20-year-old boy looked like he was in his 30s, and once he went, he couldn't go back to the city..."
Wang Fugui thought about it and felt that what his eldest grandson said made a lot of sense. What he said was very likely to come true!
So he said to them, "I think what my eldest grandson guessed is very possible! No matter what, we should take this matter seriously!"
Dafu, you can go and try to get Cuihua into your factory. If you're short of money, I still have some savings, which I can lend to you to get you a job.
There's one thing my eldest grandson said that I completely agree with: going to the countryside will ruin the children! First, they don't know how to farm, second, they have no experience in labor, and third, there's no bottom line to what can be done in the poor countryside!
I'm not being disparaging, but they've lived like this for thousands of years. Our ideas and concepts are different. We can't expect others to be kind!"
Qian Dafu said gratefully, "Thank you so much, old man! I have to go and run. If I really cause them to go to the countryside, I will regret it later!"
Qian Yuanjun quickly expressed his attitude: "Thank you, Grandpa. When I work and earn money in the future, I will definitely be filial to you and buy you cigarettes and alcohol!"
Wang Fugui laughed and said, "Haha, even though you're making empty promises to the old man, who can blame me for that? But everyone should just know what the eldest grandson said, and don't say a word about it outside, otherwise it will hurt him badly! Especially you four little kids, don't say anything nonsense and hurt your eldest brother!"
"I understand, Grandpa. I won't tell anyone about this."
"Right, right, right. We can't let Big Brother get hurt. From now on, just pretend we never heard of this."
Speaking of this matter, Ye Zhiqiu did not say that it was a spur of the moment decision, but rather that he had entrusted the arrangements for his younger brothers and sisters to his family as early as possible.
Nowadays, many people are impulsive and take the initiative to sign up to go to the countryside. He doesn't want Ye Wubing to be like this. If he regrets it later, he won't be able to do anything!
So he warned Ye Wubing, "Second brother, Big Brother said that the person he's most worried about is you! Don't get carried away and sign up to go to the countryside.
I've only heard of people going to the countryside, but never of people returning to the city. Don't let others' incitement get you carried away! "
Ye Wubing nodded seriously and said, "Brother, I understand. I feel very confident in passing the technical secondary school entrance exam. My teacher also said so. My sister-in-law also thinks that my knowledge is very solid and has supplemented me with a lot of content.
Anyway, I'll listen to you, big brother. If I don't get into technical secondary school, I'll go work, or join the army like you did!"
Actually, joining the army was the most stable way to get by, but it was also very hard! During those turbulent years, there was no ease at all, let alone security.
Wang Xiaolan was particularly relieved. With her eldest son, the family had a backbone!
They couldn't have imagined these things. As soon as their son came back, he had already thought about and arranged the future of the second and youngest sons.
It's such a great feeling to have a son supporting the family! Unlike that bastard Old Ye, who spends all day hiding his own money. Otherwise, he's always trying to find ways to take pocket money from his own pocket. How heartless!
