60s: I have a store

Chapter 79: Running around
The team leader could come up with four or five hundred yuan, but he didn't think this amount of money could buy a job in a steel plant. There must be favors and connections involved to benefit the people.

Since the other party didn't come to their house, there is no need to make things difficult for them.

You must know how to be a human being.

He knew in his heart that Zhou Dazhong had a close relationship with Yimin's family, and because of the special circumstances of Dazhong's family, he received special care from Yimin.

Although his surname is also Zhou, he is already five generations away from his kin.

There are many people with the surname Zhou in Zhoujiazhuang! It is impossible to take care of every family.

"Don't talk nonsense outside." The captain was really afraid that his wife would say something nonsense and annoy Yimin.

Zhou Dazhong hurried back home, and his mother stuffed the remaining pension into his hands.

"Let me make it clear first! This money is for all three of you siblings. You are the eldest, so you use it first. Later you have to get your salary back when you work, until you have made up for your brother and sister's share." His mother made it clear first.

"Yes! Mom, I know."

Zhou Dazhong had no intention of monopolizing the money, but he did have the responsibility as an eldest brother.

"Also, this amount of money can't buy a job in the steel mill. Your sixteenth uncle must have invested some money. You must remember his kindness and listen to him when you get to the steel mill..." His mother gave him all kinds of instructions and talked for a full five minutes.

Zhou Dazhong took it to heart and went to see Zhou Yimin with 450 yuan.

"Sixteenth uncle, great uncle, great uncle." When Zhou Dazhong arrived at Zhou Yimin's grandfather's house, he hurriedly greeted them.

"Dazhong is here? Come in and sit down." The old lady said with a smile.

She also went to get some food.

"Uncle Sixteen, my mother asked me to bring the money. It's all here." Zhou Dazhong immediately took out the 450 yuan and wrapped it in several layers of cloth.

Zhou Yimin took it and pretended to count it.

"Get ready. Go ask the old branch secretary for a letter of introduction. Come with me to the steel plant tomorrow. You will either do purchasing with me or help in the kitchen. Bring clothes and other things with you." Zhou Yimin told him.

After hearing this, Zhou Dazhong realized that he could definitely get in, and he was very grateful.

He is honest, but that doesn't mean he is a fool or knows nothing.

"Thank you, Uncle Sixteen."

Zhou Yimin waved his hand: "What are you thanking me for? Your family paid for it."

Zhou Dazhong didn't say anything. Just as his mother said, the four or five hundred yuan was definitely not enough to buy a job in a steel factory. It was useless to say more words of thanks. I had to prove it with actions in the future.

Then, Zhou Yimin told Zhou Dazhong some things he needed to pay attention to so that he could be prepared.

Zhou Dazhong spoke less and listened more, and he listened very carefully, even repeating some of the words over and over in his mind several times.

After leaving Zhou Yimin's house, he went directly to the old branch secretary to get a letter of introduction.

"That's good. You can use that money to buy a job. It's not a good idea to just sit there and do nothing. Remember! When you go to the steel plant, try not to cause trouble for your sixteenth uncle..." The old branch secretary said to Zhou Dazhong while writing a letter of introduction.

"Got it, Uncle!"

When he took the letter of introduction home, his mother, although she could not understand the words, read it several times and was very happy.

Later, her family also had a worker who went to the city to eat commercial grain.

Since Yimin asked her son to bring a letter of introduction and clothes, it meant that the job was a sure thing and there was no suspense.

"Uncle Sixteen also said that when we get there, he will help me ask the factory to arrange accommodation for me as soon as possible," Zhou Dazhong added.

His mother sighed and felt grateful.

It was only four or five hundred yuan, who would be so willing to help? Only my sixteenth brother Yimin.

"Listen to the secretary, and try not to cause trouble in the future. Don't cause trouble for your sixteenth uncle." Of course, she also knew that her own son was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to cause trouble.

Then she took out the little money left in the house.

His son had just started working, and he might need to buy some things, so he couldn't do without some money. "Mom, if you take all the money, what will happen to the family?" Zhou Dazhong refused to take it.

His mother glared at him and said, "The family doesn't need any money for now, so just remember to bring your salary back. When you need money, don't let your Sixteenth Uncle pay for it."

I have already troubled my sixteenth brother so much, and now I still want him to pay for it. How unreasonable!

Zhou Dazhong held the scattered money tightly in his pocket.

In order to let him work in the city, I spent all my money. If I don't know how to behave, I'm worse than pigs and dogs.

The news of Zhou Dazhong entering the steel plant spread more and more widely in Zhoujiazhuang.

Young guys are so envious!

Especially Chow Tai Fook, who was longing to go to the city to work.

Unfortunately, their family couldn't afford that much money. Otherwise, they could ask Uncle Sixteen for help.

"Hey! Do you want to go into the mountains to hunt? I've thought it through. We really can't do it without money." Zhou Dafu asked his friends who often played together.

Just like this time, there was an opportunity to work in the city, but he had no money so he had to pass it by. As long as he could kill a lot of deer like last time, he would have a chance to work in the steel mill.

"My father won't let me go."

"If the village knew..."

Zhou Dafu interrupted him: "Just don't let the villagers know! After we kill the prey, we will go directly to the city to find Uncle Sixteen."

He also learned from the last lesson.

After catching the prey, we must bypass Zhoujiazhuang and send it directly to Uncle Sixteen.

"Dashan, can you take out your hunting rifle?" Zhou Dafu looked at Zhou Dashan.

"It's possible, but I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? I'm just afraid of being poor."

"Fine!"

The five of them agreed to find an excuse to escape tomorrow and go hunting in the mountains. As long as they could catch prey and make money, it would be worth it even if they were beaten by their families.

They were not jealous of Zhou Dazhong, after all, that money was earned by his father with his life.

In the courtyard where Zhou Yimin works, unemployed young people are also running for jobs in the steel plant.

For example, the third uncle Yang Zhenhua, his eldest son has also reached age.

Today, he found the director and asked about the relevant situation. The director told him a number, indicating that it was his internal quota.

If you don't want to pay, just go and register and wait. If you are lucky, you may be assigned a place, but there is uncertainty.

The third uncle is also aware of this.

His director also said that there was no shortage of people taking the internal quota, but they were willing to give him priority because he and Zhou Yimin lived in the same courtyard.

Uncle Three naturally understood that there was no shortage of jobs, even if they cost money.

So he asked the director to reserve the spot for him and he would bring the money the next day.

The money for buying the job will be deducted from my son’s salary anyway, so I must explain this clearly to my eldest son.

We will discuss how much to hand over every month when we get home.

Those whose families have no money can only go to the street office to register and see how the street office arranges it.

In this era, many jobs are arranged and allocated by the street office. The street office has first-hand information on how many people are needed in each factory.

So, never offend the street office.
