Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 122 Persuasion
Mother Yang would send a telegram to her third uncle at the beginning of every year, and would subsidize his family through remittances. Unfortunately, her hometown was a small place, and the most important thing was that the countryside was short of supplies. Many times she couldn't buy what she needed even if she had money.

Just like learning materials, many common materials in the capital are not available in Xishi's hometown.Therefore, the three younger sisters and younger brothers cannot study.

Comparing Yang Shuming and Yang Shuhao, we can see that although Yang Shuhao has always had poor grades, he is already in the second grade of junior high school, and Yang Shuming is only in the sixth grade.

Whether educational resources are concentrated will only depend on the local economy. Generally speaking, the more developed the economy, the better the education.From Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty to today's big cities, there is no exception.

Excellent teachers want to come to big cities, parents in big cities want to give their children a better education, and their children want to be admitted to an ideal university. This is the difference between the concepts in small places.

In today's era, how many women have never attended junior high school, and many women are even illiterate. When women reach the age of seven or eight, their parents use them as part of the labor force.

"Second brother, your house is so beautiful! The capital is also so majestic!"

The third uncle and the third aunt were fine. After all, they were from a wealthy family when they were young. But this was the first time for the three younger brothers and sisters to see each other, especially Yang Shuyi. The youngest one was outspoken and spoke what was in her heart. Yang Shuwen and Yang Although Shu Ming didn't say anything, it was still an expression.

"Come on, let's have a cup of malted milk first."

After Wang Xue gave the little watermelon to Mother Yang, she made a cup of malted milk for each of the three of them.

"Thank you sister-in-law, it tastes great and sweet."

I don’t know if the three of them have drunk malted milk before, but the way the three of them hold the cups and taste them slowly can tell that life at the third uncle’s family is indeed difficult.

In fact, it was strange that it was easier. A family of five was only counted as one and a half full laborers before Yang Shuwen went to work. Not to mention sufficient rations at the end of the year, there was a high probability that they would still owe money to the brigade.

In this era of rural distribution of grain according to work, everyone can receive an indefinite amount of rations (divided by gender and age). However, if a family does not have enough labor points, the village will still distribute rations, which will cause disruption. owe.

If a family owes money, it must try its best to pay back the points owed to the village, otherwise the village will take measures.

Therefore, the third uncle's family will most likely use Yang Muhui's money to buy work points.If the three younger brothers and sisters want to eat and drink well, they can only sleep, and dream about everything.

If it weren't for Yang's mother's support, in the previous three years, the three younger brothers and sisters would not have been able to go to school. Eating chaff and rice would have been a dream. In all likelihood, they would have had to eat tree bark and grass roots.

"Brothers and sisters, come here, eat some sweets."

Yang Shuning took out the white rabbit, and then said to his family:

"Third uncle, eldest brother, let's go to eldest brother's room. There are children and women here, so it's not convenient to smoke."

"Brother, I also want to see my eldest brother's house."

When Yang Shuwen heard that Yang Shuning was taking her father to Yang Shuchen's house, she couldn't wait to have a look.

As for Yang Shuming and Yang Shuyi, they are still eating sweets happily.

"Xiao Hao, if you are free during this period, take Shu Ming and the others out for fun, and ask your sister-in-law to get some tickets to use as funds for our activities."

After Yang Shuning said to Yang Shuhao, he left with his third uncle, eldest brother and Yang Shuwen.As for Yang's mother, she was still holding Little Watermelon and chatting with her third aunt.The reason why the third uncle was asked to go to the eldest brother's room was because Yang Shuning thought that there was still some time before dinner. Yang Shuning first arranged the residence of the third uncle's family and the third uncle's work arrangements:

"Third uncle, there is another room in the east wing. You and your aunt can live there. There is also another room in the main room over there for Xiaowen and Xiaoyi. As for Shu Ming, just live with Xiaohao during this period. ."

"And third uncle, please bring me your high school diploma when you are packing your luggage later. I will need it when I arrange a job for you."

"There are three places you can go to now. Of course, they will all be staffed by cadres. You can think about it yourself and give me an answer tomorrow morning."

"The first one is the sub-district office where we are now. I think the sub-district office is quite suitable for you. I think with your academic qualifications and knowledge, it will not be a problem to do a good job in the sub-district office."

"The second one is the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. The courtyard we live in now is actually the workers' courtyard of the steel rolling mill. And you have also worked as an accountant before. If you are willing, I can arrange for you to work in the logistics department of the factory."

"The third one is the district supply and marketing cooperative where my mother works. They can arrange for you to work in a supply and marketing cooperative in a certain street. Supply and marketing cooperatives are the same across the country. I think you must know about it."

"Both Shu Ming and Xiao Yi should continue to go to school. As for Xiaowen, I personally think she can go to work. I will arrange a formal job for her. Xiaowen is also 18 years old. With a stable job, it will not only be convenient for her to find a partner in the future, but also It can also contribute to future small families.”

Yang Shuning finished speaking in one breath, and after giving the third uncle and Yang Shuchen a blue peony, he looked at the third uncle.

Everyone in the room also turned their attention to the third uncle, especially Yang Shuwen. She was not too happy to hear that her cousin would arrange a job for her. She had had enough of life in the farmland.

The third uncle took a long drag on the cigarette, with a dazed expression on his face. Yang Shuning, a junior, arranged a job for him, which made him feel very worthless.

But the hardship of rural life forced him to accept Yang Shuning's kindness.

"Xiao Ning, you said you would arrange for me to be a cadre. Isn't this a very difficult thing? I think I'd better become a worker."

After listening to the third uncle's words, Yang Shuning looked at Yang Shuchen and felt that the third uncle still knew how to be grateful and understood the scarcity and value of cadres.

"Third uncle, my father left two cadre quotas when he died. My eldest brother and I didn't use these two quotas. My Xiaohao's grades are not good and he basically can't get into technical secondary school, so one must be reserved for him."

"So I want to leave this remaining quota to you. When Xiao Ming gets older and has no choice, you can withdraw in advance and pass the quota to him."

After hearing this, the third uncle continued to wave his hands and said:

"No, you already have Little Watermelon, not to mention you will have children in the future. Are you afraid of too many cadre quotas? You can pass it on to your children then."

Yang Shuning smiled and shook his head and said:

"Forget it, it will take at least more than ten years for Little Watermelon to grow up. Why should I keep this place? I will arrange the future affairs. Don't worry, Third Uncle."

After hearing this, the third uncle finally accepted Yang Shuning's suggestion and decided to use the cadre quota left by his second brother.To be honest, why wouldn't he envy cadres in his heart? Cadres are always better than workers.
