Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 2 The Basic Survival Qualities of a Traveler
After Cao Zhiqiang crossed over, he immediately found that the situation in his home was not very good.

Although he has a house in a courtyard house, his parents are dead, he has a sister and a sister, and he is still a vagrant.

My elder sister is Cao Jiajia, she is married, and she is not in the capital, but in the third line of the Southwest University, where she works as a worker with her husband, and has always wanted to transfer back but couldn’t.

My younger sister is Cao Lili. She is 12 years old this year. She is with Cao Zhiqiang and is still in the sixth grade of elementary school.

Cao Jiajia is Cao Zhiqiang's biological sister, but Cao Lili has no blood relationship with them.

Because Cao Lili is Cao Zhiqiang's parents. When they were transferred to the Nanjing branch to work together, they adopted a girl from a disabled man named Qiao in the local area.

Later, when they were transferred back to the capital, they brought back the girl named Cao Lili.

Then.

Two years ago, Cao Zhiqiang's grandmother accidentally choked to death on a steamed bun while stealing it.

A year ago, Cao Zhiqiang's father accidentally fell to his death while repairing the roof.

Three months ago, Cao Zhiqiang's mother was in poor health and suffered a sudden death from overwork due to long-term fatigue.

In addition, the eldest sister went to the third line in the early years and never came back.

So at present, in the Cao family full of love in the courtyard, only Cao Zhiqiang and his younger sister Cao Lili are left to depend on each other.

This family background.

Just a capitalized tragic word.

It's just that it's nothing.

Time travel, it's often miserable, it's normal.

When he crossed over at this moment, he was not an orphan with no house, no money and no relatives to start the game, but a handsome guy with a sister, a sister and a house, and the treatment was already very good.

What really scares Cao Zhiqiang is his own personal situation, or the historical burden of his predecessor.

Cao Zhiqiang, the predecessor, was expelled from school because of fighting in school in his first year of high school.

After that, he didn't look for a job, so he hung out with a group of unemployed young people on the street all day long.

Soon, he became a well-known ruffian in the neighborhood. He smoked, drank and danced black dances all day long, or caused trouble and flirted with his wife.

In short, he is an ignorant little bastard who dislikes dogs.

On the third day of his mother's death, he took all the gifts and condolences and went to find those cronies and friends who were eating hazel.

Then on the way back after dinner, because he drank too much wine, he felt drunk for a while, so he leaned on the electric pole by the side of the road, urinated, and vomited for a while.

Spit and spit, then fell drunk and fell asleep on the side of the road.

It doesn't matter if he falls asleep after getting drunk, he will freeze to death on the side of the road soon.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang from another time and space traveled over.

After the new Cao Zhiqiang crossed over, he inherited the memory of the original owner.

He quickly learned about Cao Zhiqiang's family situation, as well as the bad deeds of his predecessor.

Especially when he knows that this year is already after 1983.

So I went home resolutely, and in front of the mourning hall of my cheap mother Lin Meili, I cried and shouted on purpose, saying that I would say goodbye to the past, showing a heart-rending appearance of changing my past.

Immediately afterwards, the day after he crossed.

After briefly handling his mother's funeral, he went to the work unit where his parents worked before his death - Beiping Hongguang Machinery Factory, a large state-owned enterprise with more than 8000 people, with a sad face.

In front of the factory manager, after performing a tragic scene of changing his mind and begging to be taken in, he was hired by the machinery factory smoothly, and became a worker in the machinery factory that his predecessor was unwilling to do at the beginning, and became an apprentice fitter.

Others said that he was enlightened after his old mother died, and he was a model of the prodigal son who turned his back and never exchanged money.

Only he himself knows that this is just a kind of self-avoidance, or self-salvation.

He didn't want to be called a street ruffian not long after he crossed over... you know.

Because of his special situation, in order to take care of him, according to the past practice, the factory specially allowed him to take over part of the working years of his dead mother during his apprenticeship, which was counted as a subsidy.

It is impossible to replace his mother's full working years. If that is the case, his income as an apprentice will be higher than that of a regular worker.

His mother has more than 20 years of working experience, and she is completely different from Qin Huairu's ex-husband Jia Dongxu.

Also because of this treatment, even if he is an apprentice, his income is not bad. He can get 30 yuan a month, which is much higher than ordinary apprentices who just entered the factory who only get 18.5 yuan a month.

Still, no one envied him.

After all, no one is willing to share in a situation as miserable as his family's.

What's more, this is just a special subsidy for apprentices who do not enter the official rank, and it belongs to the private care of the factory.

Once he passed the three-year apprenticeship and became a regular worker, this special subsidy would be cancelled, and everything had to be done according to the rules.

To put it simply, once he is rated as a professional title, the subsidy for replacing the seniority will be voided, and the seniority will be calculated according to the time you normally entered the factory.

In short, Cao Zhiqiang is now an apprentice fitter at the state-owned Hongguang Machinery Factory, earning 30 yuan a month.

Serious people with jobs.

However, at the current price level, if Cao Zhiqiang only relied on his own salary, it would be impossible to eat meat every day, let alone buy a three- to four-hundred-dollar tape recorder in a short time.

His mother didn't die at work, but died suddenly from overwork at home. There was no pension at all, only a 100 yuan consolation fund raised by the leader and the workers.

His family didn't have much savings in the past, and even if they had, the total amount of savings did not exceed one hundred yuan.

Therefore, even with the sympathy money plus the deposit, and all the money added up, he couldn't afford a Shanghai brand L-400 tape recorder.

It is obvious that he not only earns the salary of the unit, but must also have a lot of extra money far exceeding the salary income.

This is of course true.

In fact, after Cao Zhiqiang traveled here, he didn't pay much attention to the salary income at all, and he didn't expect to rely on the salary to make himself and his sister live a good life.

The so-called working in a factory as a worker is just to end his identity as an unemployed vagrant and street ruffian early, so as to avoid being dealt with in the future.

During this period, state-owned enterprise workers and jobless street ruffians are people from two worlds.

What?Self-employed?
Self-employment looks good, but there are many restrictions on self-employment at this time.

For example, recruitment restrictions, business scope restrictions, capital scale restrictions, etc., are difficult to expand.

Moreover, the self-employed person at this time has no social status, and is looked down upon by others, no matter how rich he is, he cannot be a talisman for the ruffian on the front street, nor can he be regarded as a reformer.

But being a worker in a state-owned enterprise is different. With the status of a worker in a state-owned enterprise, the waist is hard during this period.

To put it bluntly, being a worker in a state-owned enterprise is nothing more than a conservative means of survival for him.

He never thought of being a worker all his life, let alone getting rich by being a worker.

The Hongguang Machinery Factory is just the Xinshou Village where he temporarily lives in seclusion.

In other words, being an apprentice at Hongguang Machinery Factory was just a means for Cao Zhiqiang to protect himself.

Everything is just for survival.
