Ye Zhiqiu was playing with his watch conceitedly. He had already acquired two of the four major items! Actually, at that time, he didn't really care about the four major items, because they were really hard to get!
Things like sewing machines are now extremely rare. Take the Butterfly brand sewing machine, for example. Even in Shanghai, where it was manufactured, they were sold at a rate of one per 100 people.
Not to mention Beijing, there may not be one for every two hundred households, so you really can’t buy one even if you have money!
The hardest items to buy among the four major items are watches and sewing machines, followed by bicycles, and finally radios.
"Xiaoye, Xiaoye, are you home?"
At this time, a voice sounded. Ye Zhiqiu listened carefully and found that it was Wang Weihua's voice!
He hurriedly walked out and replied, "I'm at home!"
Seeing Wang Weihua in a new outfit, Ye Zhiqiu said happily, "Secretary Wang, no, it should be Director Wang! He looks so formal in this outfit!"
Wang Weihua laughed heartily and said, "Haha, I think this outfit looks smart too! Also, you should call him Deputy Director Wang. It wouldn't be good if Director Gao heard it."
Ye Zhiqiu said cheerfully, "Director Wang, did you just come back from studying at school?"
Wang Weihua said cheerfully, "Yes, I just came back today and have already reported to the subdistrict office. Director Gao asked me to officially start work tomorrow."
Ye Zhiqiu led them into the living room. Wang Weihua greeted Wang Fugui and took the tea that Ye Zhiqiu had brewed for him.
He then stated his purpose and said, "Director Gao here gave me a job quota. I remember Xiaoye, you said you wanted to arrange for your mother to work in the neighborhood office, so I came here to discuss this with you."
Ye Zhiqiu said happily, "Yes, Director Wang, how much should I take? I've never done this kind of work in a neighborhood office before, so I don't know how much I should be paid!"
Wang Weihua didn't speak in official language, but said frankly: "I have two job assignments now. If I want to be a civil affairs officer, it will cost 400 yuan. 300 yuan is the fee for the job quota, and I won't say more about the remaining 100 yuan.
If you're a sanitation officer, 350 is enough. But it's not an easy job. You need to go door-to-door frequently to give lectures, and there are also some sanitation issues that need to be monitored."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't even think about it and said to Wang Weihua, "Director Wang, although my mother can read and write, she has never been to school.
So I think the position of health officer is very suitable. At least the cultural requirements for this job are not so high. Do you think it is okay to arrange this position?"
Wang Fugui then asked, "Xiao Wang, isn't there a woman doing this? My daughter is the most suitable for this job, why don't you assign her to do it?"
Wang Weihua said embarrassedly: "Grandpa, there are no more vacancies for women's affairs, and the last one was assigned to my wife..."
Although Ye Zhiqiu was surprised by Wang Weihua's quick arrangement, she didn't find it unusual. After all, being a women's affairs officer at the time was a relatively easy job, so it was normal for someone to assign this to one of their own.
On the contrary, the job of health officer is really busy, but there is no way around it. Wang Xiaolan does not have a diploma, so it is really difficult to arrange other work for her.
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the room and counted out three hundred and fifty yuan from the space, leaving only more than seven hundred yuan. This amount of money was not enough to last!
After returning to the living room, Ye Zhiqiu placed the money in front of Wang Weihua and said with a smile, "Director Wang, I'll have to ask you to take care of my mother's work."
Wang Weihua nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoye. I'll go discuss this job offer with your mother after I get to work tomorrow. I'll send the recruitment letter over then, and you should be able to start the day after tomorrow!"
Ye Zhiqiu thanked him repeatedly. After Wang Weihua counted the money, he said he would go home to make some arrangements and prepare for the move.
This was because he had been promoted and was assigned a better house, so he needed to move. Director Gao asked him to come back to work tomorrow to give him time to settle down and find a place to stay.
Ye Zhiqiu sent Wang Weihua away and returned to the living room. He said to Wang Fugui with a smile, "Grandpa, do you think my mother will jump for joy when she gets the news that she got the job?"
Wang Fugui thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know if she'll jump for joy, but she'll definitely be moved to tears! Your mother is someone with a very emotional personality. Upon hearing this kind of news, she'll definitely burst into tears of joy."
"Hehe, our family is a three-worker family. All we need is for you to arrange a cadre position for me!"
"I'm going to make your brain explode... Everyone says that Grandpa doesn't have the ability to do this anymore, why do you keep saying this..."
"I don't believe it. What if one of your students becomes a high-ranking official?"
"You're not even a Party member, what's the point of being a cadre..."
The old man and the young man laughed for a long time. Ye Bailu next to them dozed off and fell asleep on the table.
Seeing this, Ye Zhiqiu carried her back to the room. It was normal for the girl to feel sleepy after studying with Wang Fugui for a long time.
When he returned to the living room, Wang Fugui said to him, "Your mother will be getting a job soon. Think about what to do with those rabbits, you little brat! They say you can buy bran to feed the chickens. You can't let your mother go out to cut rabbit grass and feed the rabbits after get off work, can you?"
This matter has really been dealt with. Now that my second child is in school and my mother has to go to work, there is no one to cut grass for the rabbits!
As for Wang Fugui, forget it! This old man needs a cane to walk, so he's not the type to go out and cut rabbit grass.
"Okay, I'll see if I can sell the big rabbit. I can only wait and see if anyone wants to keep the little rabbit."
"You can ask your Aunt Liu if she wants to take the rabbit home to raise. She has time to cut grass for it. Now that your mother is at work, she can't continue making sweet potato vermicelli.
Just let Xiao Liu raise the rabbits, so don't put them over there, as they'll be easily reported. Just keep them here."
Ye Zhiqiu had no objection. Rabbits were just something Wang Xiaolan needed to do. Now that the vegetables in the yard were growing, taking care of them was enough to keep her busy, excluding her commute.
Ye Zhiqiu remembered something, so he asked, "Grandpa, can you bring my mother to Shougang to meet Aunt Chen? Which of your students works there?"
Wang Fugui paused, then looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said unhappily, "Don't worry about it. I really can't arrange anything for you..."
Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips. This old man was saying one thing and thinking another. He must have a very high-ranking student at Shougang! But he really didn't mean to ask for an arrangement. He was simply curious!
If you really want to be a cadre, you might as well listen to your uncle's advice and work as a cook in the canteen first. Then wait for him to arrange for you to be the canteen director. This way it's more stable!
Unfortunately, Ye Zhiqiu really didn't want to work in the kitchen! The job of a buyer is so comfortable...
