Li Youguo threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. There was no such thing as an ashtray here. He replied, "I'm in the army. In fact, when you were in the 211th Regiment, I wanted to take some time to see you.
Because the unit I am in is not far from yours, but when I had the opportunity to go there, you were transferred here!
I was able to confirm your location based on the change in your mailing address. But when we were escorting the machine here, we encountered a sandstorm, and we only arrived today.
I just wanted to ask for your information, but someone carried you back. When I heard someone say your name, I ran here to wait for you to wake up.
Of course, I told others that you were an elder's child and that I had to pass on some messages to you, so I was waiting here for you to wake up."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, indicating that he understood what to do.
Li Youguo asked seriously, "Cousin, what are your plans for the future? We have some connections at home that can help you."
Ye Zhiqiu had never thought about this before, so he repeated Feng Yuanzheng's words and asked Li Youguo to give him some advice.
Unexpectedly, Li Youguo looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said with emotion: "You really met a good father-in-law! He really treats you well!"
Ye Zhiqiu was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that? I didn't know before that he wanted to take me with him to teach me. I was actually a little angry with him.
But after that conversation with him, I realized he wasn't trying to make things difficult for me. But after all, making me run away and dig sand for a year wasn't really being kind to me, was it?
"Silly boy, the friend he mentioned, this kind of project can get you out and arrange for you to transfer back to the city, what kind of person can do that?
Do you know how valuable your participation in this project, your contributions, and your promotion to Party membership, is?
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu had never really thought about joining the system. He just wanted to survive and live a stable life until the 1980s.
But now that it has come to this, I'll just have to transfer to the city and live an honest life.
There are still five months before he is discharged from the army, and he can go home then. He really misses his family and Feng Xiaomei.
Although there were letters every month, it was this kind of contact that made him miss her even more.
Li Youguo thought for a moment, then said to Ye Zhiqiu, "The situation is not good right now. I want to ask you, is there any unit you want to work for?
After all, your father-in-law just asked someone to help you transfer to another job, but the unit that accepts you will definitely not worry about it for you.
But if you have a company you want to work for, my dad can definitely use his connections to help you find a job. It just depends on what kind of job you want."
Ye Zhiqiu perked up when he heard this. He asked curiously, "Cousin, with my current rank, I wonder what rank of cadre I can be assigned after I retire?"
Li Youguo looked at his cousin with amusement, shook his head and replied, "What rank do you want? You'd be lucky to get a deputy section chief when you go back!"
"But if my dad does me a favor, I can get you promoted to a regular officer. But it also depends on the unit. It won't be so easy for key units!"
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment and then asked, "Well, cousin, do you know my partner?"
Li Youguo nodded and said, "Yes, I have. Actually, when I looked up your family's information, I also looked up your girlfriend. She is a very outstanding girl and gets along very well with my uncle and his family."
"Then do you know where she's been assigned a job? When I'm discharged from the army and she's graduated, it's time to get married. I don't want our units to be too far apart."
Li Youguo thought about it and said helplessly, "Your partner is a physics major, so the most likely candidate is the Second Ministry of Machine Building. Forget it, I'll ask your uncle for help!"
When the time comes, we'll arrange for her to work at the Machine Tool Factory. Her prospects won't be as good as working at the Second Ministry of Machine Building, but she'll have the advantage of being only three kilometers away from Sanlitun."
Ye Zhiqiu was overjoyed. He quickly said to Li Youguo, "Then my cousin, please take me back to the brewery! The factory director is my uncle who taught me cooking. He'll be there to protect me."
Li Youguo frowned. He felt that this unit was not good because there was no future in it.
But if you think about it carefully, having a promising future also makes it easier to fall into a vortex. It would be better to let my cousin live a stable life in the brewery!
However, he was not sure whether his parents would agree to this. They still valued his future, so he said uncertainly: "I will talk to my parents about this, but I can't guarantee that they will agree.
Some things are hard to say, I'm afraid they want to find you a job with better prospects, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Cousin, please tell my aunt and uncle that I am a person without big ambitions. I just want to live a life with a wife and children and a warm bed.
As for my career, I'm content as long as I can get by. Although I don't understand politics, I can still see that a storm is brewing.
I really don't want to get involved in these storms. I just want to stay safe and protect my family and wife and weather this storm smoothly."
Li Youguo was a little surprised, because he didn't expect that this cousin was so capable! He actually saw that something bad was about to happen. That was why his family decided not to recognize his uncle yet.
This kind of family is particularly sensitive to some rumors and so they will consider many things before doing anything and will not let their emotions sway them at will.
"Okay, I'll convey your message. As for whether they listen or not, I can't do anything about it. After all, my brother's words are useless at home."
At this time, the medical staff came in and the two stopped talking. After checking, the doctor said to Ye Zhiqiu, "Instructor Ye, you should pay attention to drinking water when you work in the future.
