Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 19 Entering the steel rolling mill for the first time 3
Other families in the courtyard were also discussing how Gu Weijun got his job.

Those who don't have children at home and need to arrange work are basically envious of Gu Weijun's ability to find a job so quickly.

Those who have children at home who need to find jobs are more resentful than envious. How come a person who has just graduated from junior high school can go to work in a steel rolling mill and still be a regular employee!
"Don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality!" This is true in ancient and modern times!
After dinner, Qin Huairu held Sophora japonica and led Xiaodang to visit Gu Weijun's house. As soon as she entered the door, she called: "Aunt Wang, uncle."

Smiling, she opened the door curtain and entered the bedroom. Qin Huairu first put the Sophora japonica on the kang, touched Xiaodang's head, "Go play with Uncle Erjun, and then look at my sister." Then she quickly helped Gu Ma to dismantle it. Gloves said with a smile: "Brothers Junzi set off a big firecracker now! I didn't even dare to recognize it when we were in the cafeteria at noon!"

“As soon as I returned to the courtyard after work, I heard everyone spreading rumors about everything!”

"Some say that Junzi is lucky and just a fool; some say that Junzi has a keen eye and can do things on his own; some say that his uncle asked someone to sneak in and sneak through the back door... they all say it all. "

Gu's mother responded while taking off her gloves: "People have mouths, so just go ahead and say what you want. We have to live our own lives!"

"When Da Jun came back from get off work this afternoon, he was blocked in the front yard. Good guy, if you don't explain how you got to work? You won't be allowed to leave at all!"

"As a parent, I also understand that the children at home are grown up and there is no serious job. It will be difficult to find a wife by then! But it's not like this. Looking at that posture, I wish I could take off the skin of the army! Hey!"

Dad Gu, who was sitting on the desk by the window and reading, coughed.

Gu's mother turned around and glanced at Gu's father, "What are you coughing for?" "What? They did it, but I can't tell them?" Then she continued to Qin Huairu: "Everyone in the courtyard has seen the army working. On the surface, Say congratulations, and then ask behind the scenes, what should I say? The job does not belong to our family! Right, Xiao Qin? "

Gu Weijun quickly picked up the kettle and filled Gu's father with water. He smiled at Gu's mother and said, "Mom, isn't the weather too dry?"

Qin Huairu also changed the subject, "Auntie, you're right! Some people in our courtyard are indeed not very good? But maybe why do they envy you now? You have raised a good son!"

Gu Ma sat upright with her legs crossed, her face was indescribably happy, and she pretended to be humble and said, "How can I? Auntie just found out that Dajun did something wrong, and she would "rectify it" for him in time!" "Little Qin, let me tell you, this little tree won’t grow straight if it’s not repaired, and it won’t grow straight if people don’t repair it!”

"My mother once broke such a thick stick!" Gu Weimin suddenly interrupted and made a "so thick" shape with his hands.

"Little bastard, are you everywhere? Take Xiaodang and read your little book," Gu's mother yelled at Gu Weimin with a "fierce" look on her face, "Next time if you interrupt when the adults are talking, I'll give you a leg discount!"

Gu Weijun has a black line on his forehead!
Qin Huairu glanced at Gu Weijun charmingly, covered her mouth and smiled "hehe"!
Gu Ma was about to explain to Qin Huairu: "There was a time when the army stole it."

Then I heard Aunt Bai's voice coming from the other side of the door, "That's Aunt Gu!" Mom Gu responded: "He's in the house!"

Gu Weijun immediately stood up, opened the door curtain and came forward, "Aunt Bai, are you here?"

"Well, let's have some fun with your mother," Aunt Bai tugged on the hem of Gu Weijun's clothes, "You're such a big boy!"

"Hey, are you taking off your gloves to knit a sweater? Tsk, tsk, these gloves are newly issued by the army, right?"

"Isn't Dajun growing taller again? I need to add some thread to his sweater."

With the arrival of Aunt Bai, the second aunt, the first aunt and other middle-aged women in the hospital gathered at Gu Weijun's house.

Upon seeing this, Father Gu said to Mother Gu, "I'll send some medicinal wine to Lao Huang." He got up, went to the main room to open the box, took two bottles of medicinal wine and went out.

Gu Weijun was left alone in the room to listen awkwardly!Fortunately, after a while, Liu Guangtian came to see him, and Gu Weijun quickly got up, said hello to Gu's mother and all the middle-aged women, and went out.

When passing by the house with a reversed floor in the front yard, Yan Jiecheng saw it inside the house. He stood up and wanted to go out. He hesitated for a few steps, sighed silently, and then "plopped" on the bed again.

Gu Weijun followed Liu Guangtian out of the courtyard and found a corner of the alley. Liu Guangtian handed over the cigarette and the two lit it for each other. Liu Guangtian took a deep drag on the cigarette and remained silent for a while before he said, "Junzi, can you follow me?" Tell me how you found someone in the class?" "You also know that in our family, the eldest son is your biological son! I am two years older than you. Now that you are at work, when our old man comes back, will you still be as good as me?"

Gu Weijun pondered for a while and then said something nonsensical, "Guangtian, I won't lie to you. I remember reading somewhere that a smile can solve 70% of the world's problems. Just say nice things." , can solve another 15% of the problems.”

Then he said: "I wandered the streets for a month, trying to take pictures of my mother-in-law, but when I heard that I didn't have a job, the look of contempt in their eyes was really unforgettable! So I started to pay attention to their news."

"We are mainly steel rolling mills here, but now the labor bureau all coordinates the recruitment. Unless you buy job quotas privately, how can you get into the factory? But a job can cost hundreds or even thousands, how can there be a few companies? Get up? Even if you get up, will it be your or my turn?"

"What should I do now? I found that the Labor Bureau will definitely arrange for graduates from technical secondary schools and technical schools first. Why? They have knowledge and skills!"

"I went to the Labor Bureau and inquired about it. Those with skills are popular everywhere. It's not that there is a shortage of people in the factory, but there is a shortage of people with knowledge and skills! So I went to take the electrician certificate exam."

Gu Weijun put out the butt of the cigarette, and Liu Guangtian quickly refilled it. Gu Weijun continued: "I have an electrician certificate, do I have to find a job? I will go to the labor bureau and the street to inquire and register, and then continue to ask around while doing odd jobs. Then I heard someone say that the police had an assessment. I asked Tiezi to ask Uncle Zhao, and he said that it was indeed the case! I was so upset that I asked him myself!"

"People ignored me at first, so I started to grind. A leader from the city bureau happened to pass by and asked what was going on? Seeing that my physique was not bad, they asked me to train with the police. At the beginning, it was 400 meters. It was the first time I ran down. I almost vomited, and after begging for a long time, I was given two more chances, and I finally made it within 2 minutes."

Gu Weijun pretended to be vicissitudes of life, turned his head 45 degrees to the right, and said in a low tone: "You will know later, the leader called the personnel, checked my background, and arranged me to the steel rolling mill!"

"Chairman Mao said it well, nothing is difficult in this world, as long as you are willing to climb!"

Gu Weijun looked sideways at Liu Guangtian from the corner of his eye, already thinking about his next show-off, but Liu Guangtian, his grandson, murmured for a long time and said, "Is it easy to take the electrician certificate exam?" He almost flashed Gu Weijun's waist, it's your turn. This grandson can’t find a job, so what the hell does he have emotional intelligence for?
I made up such a half-truth, half-false, untold hardships, perseverance, and heart-wrenching story. You should pay special attention to the electrician's certificate!

Shouldn't a qualified admirer first praise the hard work, then talk about the will, and finally rise to the spirit... playing the piano to others!Play the piano to a cow!
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in my heart!Gu Weijun pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's okay. I just need to understand the two volumes of electrical engineering textbooks. It took me two weeks."

Liu Guangtian said excitedly: "Junzi, I'm going to borrow electrician textbooks tomorrow!" Gu Weijun wanted to slap his forehead, but you kid didn't hear it. Did you still do odd jobs after registering for the electrician certificate... Besides, your junior high school Can you compare it to mine...

At this time, Xu Damao came back on his bicycle and asked in surprise: "Why are you two guys here so late at night? Were you beaten out?"

Liu Guangtian replied angrily: "Jun Zi went to work in the security department of the steel rolling mill!"

Xu Damao immediately got off his bicycle in surprise and asked urgently: "My brother has arrived at the steel rolling mill! When did it happen?"

Gu Weijun replied proudly: "Brother Mao, I just reported for duty today!"

"Haha," Xu Damao seemed to be happier than he was at work, "Well done to my brother!" He patted Gu Weijun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Junzi, it's too late today, it's too late tomorrow, it's too late tomorrow. Brother, I’m going to get you a hard meal to have a drink with you to celebrate!”

Gu Weijun quickly pretended to refuse, "Brother Mao, no, it's too expensive!"

Xu Damao looked displeased and said, "Jun Zi, are you treating my brother as an outsider? My brother has officially started working, so why can't he express his feelings? It's settled like that!"

"Are you done talking? Let's go back together!"

After saying that, he pushed the bicycle with one hand and pulled Gu Weijun with the other hand into the courtyard.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, the lights at Shazhu's house were still on. Xu Damao shouted to the room: "Hey, Shazhu, my brother Junzi has gone to work in the security department of the steel rolling mill. How dare you bump my spoon! How dare you bump our army?" Brother’s spoon?”

The door of Shazhu's house opened with a bang, and Shazhu cursed angrily: "Hey, Xu Damao, your grandson! Are you looking for a beating?"

Gu Weijun quickly grabbed Xu Damao's arm with his backhand and pushed him forcefully towards the backyard. As he walked, he explained: "Brother Zhuzi, Brother Mao drank too much!"

The troubled night is finally over!

Early the next morning, Gu Weijun, who was full of energy, neatly dressed and carrying a schoolbag on his waist, went straight to the steel rolling mill. He was calm and excited, "The time has come to show off my fishing skills of more than 20 years!"

Gu Weijun casually walked to the duty room. As a result, everyone in the security department arrived and lined up neatly, including two internal staff members, Bai Ling and Shang Chun.Section Chief Zheng Chao and Deputy Section Chief Hao Chuan were preparing to give a lecture. When Wei Pingan saw Gu Weijun, he secretly waved his hand. Gu Weijun quickly sneaked into the team and stood behind Wei Pingan.

Chief Zheng glanced at Gu Weijun seriously, and Chief Hao also glared angrily. Gu Weijun secretly shrank his neck and hid, trying to reduce his presence!

"I continue," Section Chief Zheng said in a tough tone, "From now on, no one is allowed to ask for leave. Everyone must be on call 24 hours a day!"

"At the same time, strengthen security patrols, fire prevention, and special defense efforts!"

"Squad leader Duan Peng, the investigation team, starting today, will expand the observation circle to include all family members of senior technical personnel in the factory. Without affecting their lives, we must find out whether there are outsiders coming in contact!"

"Squad leader Rayong, patrol team, starting today, we will strengthen security at all entrances and exits. No screws are allowed to be taken out of the factory!"

"Squad Leader Wanlin, fire brigade, starting from today, all flammable points in the factory must be guarded by someone, and fire prevention publicity and drills will be strengthened, and the intervals between fire patrols will be shortened!"

"Everyone, did you hear clearly!"

"Listen clearly!" the security department personnel responded loudly in unison.

"Wei Pingan!" Section Chief Zheng suddenly called his name.

"Arrived!" Wei Ping'an shouted immediately and stepped out of the queue.

Section Chief Zheng pointed at Gu Weijun behind Wei Pingan, "From today on, you will take care of this Gu." Wei Pingan replied loudly: "Gu Weijun!"

"Yes, Gu Weijun! You take him for two weeks of recruit training first! I'll check him after two weeks!"

"Yes!" Wei Ping'an responded loudly.

Then, Section Chief Zheng shouted loudly: "Everyone, disband where you are!"

At the same time, the three aunts were squatting in the front yard holding a cross basket. After meeting a few aunts in the yard, they praised Gu Weijun, "The eldest son of the old Gu family is really amazing! We don't even need the adults in the family to think of a solution. He's in junior high school." Two months after graduation, I went to work as a formal worker in the steel rolling mill!"

After that, several aunts from the courtyard went to the market to buy vegetables, or to the supply and marketing cooperative to make soy sauce, or to repair their clothes.

After meeting people and chatting for a few words, they would always bring the topic to Gu Weijun, "Oh, the eldest son of the old Gu family is incredible. He just graduated from junior high school and went to work in the steel rolling mill two months ago!"

"Oh, Lao Gu deserves to be the doctor in our steel rolling mill!" "What's wrong?" "My eldest son entered the steel rolling mill just two months after graduating from junior high school!" "Ah! Is he so careless?"

"Did you know that the eldest son of the Gu family went to the steel rolling mill by himself two months after graduating from junior high school?" "You can't, right? What does a grown-up know?"

The news gradually spread like this.
