Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 58 So You Are Such a Person
If the approachable Ou Xiaoyang looks ordinary, then Ou Xiaojun is the ordinary among the ordinary.

Wearing an old cotton military cap on his head and a white military overcoat on his body, Wang Weidong noticed that he was wearing a pair of black suede cotton shoes on his feet.

Such cotton shoes are worn by many people in rural areas and towns in winter.

"I invite you two to dinner today, let's eat outside the guest house." Ou Xiaojun said.

The leader invites you to dinner. Of course, Wang Weidong will not miss this rare opportunity. He asked Chen Jihong to go back to his room to rest, and he followed the two brothers out of the second guest house.

Ou Xiaojun went straight to the corner of the guest house and took out the key to unlock a bicycle. It turned out that he came here on a bicycle!
"Let's go, I'll take you to find a good place!" Ou Xiaojun said.

He pushed the bicycle, and Ou Xiaoyang and Wang Weidong walked along the street on the left and right of the bicycle.

Wang Weidong squinted at the bicycle. Many places on the body had peeled off the paint, the seat had been crooked and half collapsed, and the pedals kept spinning as it was pushed.

"Many cadres don't want to go to Shencheng for other reasons. The main reason is that the environment of the people there is very different from here!" Ou Xiaojun stopped here, he didn't know how to express his meaning next.

"The people there are bolder and more daring for their own lives! And the people here are more obedient. My father was not born here, but he was sent here to fight RB people, and he has already become a Northeasterner , Xiaoyang and I were born here, and of course we are also from Northeast China. I will definitely not get used to it when we first arrived there, you are the first batch of people to come out, so I want to ask you, a brave person." Ou Xiaoyang Said while walking.

Ou Xiaojun speaks slowly and softly, from appearance to demeanor he looks like a factory technician or a school teacher.

He suddenly leaned his bicycle against the wall of a house on the street and locked it, pointed to the cotton curtain at a door and said, "That's right here. You educated youth self-employed opened it. I have eaten it often for the past six months. It tastes good."

The cotton door curtain blocked all the light and looked dark, but when the door curtain was lifted, it was discovered that there was something wrong.There are two tables in the room less than ten square meters.

Seeing someone coming in, two young men and women stood up hastily, they looked like a couple.

"Old rules, I have half a catty of sauerkraut and pork stuffed dumplings, what do you two eat?" Ou Xiaojun said.

"What else?" Ou Xiaoyang asked.

There was dissatisfaction in his tone, and he found such a crappy place after inviting him to dinner.

"There are also radish and pork stuffing." The man replied.

It is winter now, and there are no green vegetables at all.

Cabbage, radish, potato, and cabbage variant sauerkraut are all winter dishes.

Upon hearing the answer, both Ou Xiaoyang and Wang Weidong said that they also wanted half a catty of sauerkraut stuffing.

Ou Xiaojun took out money from his pocket and put it on the table, and then he took out six taels of food stamps and put them on the table. Now he can only go to the grain store to buy food, and use the food stamps except for the food book.

But Ou Xiaojun quickly put away the half catty food stamp on the table and exchanged it for a half catty food stamp.Then he smiled shyly at the young couple.

The one he was asked to put away was a national food stamp, and the one put back on the table was a local food stamp, which was also a half-jin food stamp, but the value was different.

After collecting the money and food stamps, the young man said: "It will be ready soon!" Then he walked into the back kitchen with the girl, and the sound of rolling dumpling wrappers was immediately heard inside.

Ou Xiaoyang said to Wang Weidong: "It's too late and no one comes to the door. Usually there are many people eating here. The couple should earn a lot a month!"

As soon as the words fell, the girl rushed out of the kitchen, pointed at Ou Xiaojun with a rolling pin and raised her eyebrows, and said: "This comrade, you have no right to speak without investigation and research! Who is married to him? My father and my mother are looking for a relationship with me." , I’ve been working here for a year or so before going to work!”

The young man who followed out fearing that the situation would escalate blushed when he heard this and murmured: "We are not, I am a person without a job, can she take a fancy to me?"

Ou Xiaojun hurriedly stood up and apologized to the angry girl, then asked the young man, "Are you willing to go to work even if you make a lot of money now?"

"Of course, who wants to do such a shameful thing? Isn't there no way now?" The young man replied.

The girl also felt that what she said just now would hurt the young man, so she said earnestly: "You also let your parents find a relationship, the big deal is to spend some money!"

What to do, how much money to make is not as good as entering the system, this is what the two of them think now.

Ou Xiaojun sat down again and muttered to himself: "No matter how much money I earn outside, I am willing to work."

Wang Weidong hurriedly said: "Chief Ou, this is what people here think. If you go to Guangdong Province, it may be different. Maybe some people are willing to go out and do it themselves!"

"Really?" Ou Xiaojun asked in disbelief.

Wang Weidong nodded solemnly.

After three plates of dumplings were served, the young man threw a few cloves of garlic on the table.

Three people peeled garlic and dipped in soy sauce to eat dumplings.

"I heard that Xiangyang Chemical Factory is very good now, why don't you go to work in the factory?" Ou Xiaojun asked Wang Weidong.

"Being restricted in the factory, I like freedom. Of course, I value money more than the two of them!" Wang Weidong replied.

The young man sat across a table and said: "What's the use of having money! Can it last long? How safe is the job? The house less than 20 meters away belongs to my grandparents. They see that I have no way out and let me live in the house." I earn two dollars here, if they weren’t boiler factory workers, I wouldn’t even have a place to make money!”

"Yes, they are old employees of state-owned enterprises, and they will still be paid after retirement." Ou Xiaojun nodded.

"There is no retirement salary for being self-employed, but the country will solve it in the future, right?" Wang Weidong said pretending to guess.

No one in the room spoke, the young man suddenly said: "Maybe the national policy will change again in the future, even the self-employed will not be allowed to work!"

"I think the road will only get wider and wider! Anyway, I'm going to go all the way to the dark!" Wang Weidong said.

Ou Xiaoyang turned his face and looked at Wang Weidong intriguingly.

The three of them walked down the street after eating, Ou Xiaojun said to his brother: "Xiaoyang, it's not easy for Wei Dong to lead three disabled people to work, you can help him if you can!"

"They're all friends, I didn't say anything!" Ou Xiaoyang said cheerfully.

"I don't have any difficulties now, but the procedures for decoupling from Xiangyang Chemical Factory have not been fully completed. Also, I want to leave this self-employed business license in Harbin."

"No problem!" Ou Xiaoyang said.
