Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home

The guest house is indeed easy to find, because it is less than three blocks away from the repair shop. You can see the accommodation price at a more conspicuous location when you enter the door. It is three cents for a single room and five cents for a double room.

There is running water in the corridor, so you can wash clothes and so on. The bar also provides boiling water, which is filled with hot water bottles. There is no automatic heating water heater like that of later generations.

You can bring hot water bottles into the room, but you have to register and sign, and you have to take the initiative to bring them over if you can't stay.

There are no tiles on the floor and there is no space. It is the kind of polished cement floor that is very smooth.

"Comrade, this is a guest house. To stay in a guest house, you need a certificate of introduction."

When the guest house staff (waiter) saw Luo Cheng come in, they had no enthusiastic expression and acted businesslike.

This attitude~~, well, customers are not God, nor are they their parents. It is state-run, and no one lives in the guest house for a month, which has no impact on the employees here.

Luo Cheng looked around the wall. Fortunately, there was no friendly reminder sign like 'Don't beat customers at will'. It is said that they can only be found in restaurants or supply and marketing cooperatives. I wonder if I will have a chance to see it.

In fact, what Luo Cheng didn't know was that the staff at the guest house treated him quite well today because he was wearing a veteran's uniform. At least they took the initiative to say hello, and tried on someone else who was wearing something worse, but they didn't respond to her.

"Yes, this is the proof. I'm only staying for one day and I need to issue a ticket."

"Hey, comrade from the auto repair shop, I'll give you the key to Room 201 upstairs. Go upstairs to the far right. It's a good location."

When the staff received Luo Cheng's letter of introduction and saw that it was a certificate from a nearby auto repair shop, their attitude changed immediately. Although this auto repair shop is small in scale, it is not like some large factories with thousands or even tens of thousands of employees. But at the high end, apprentices can get the wages of regular workers in other factories. The benefits and benefits are good, but the thing I'm exposed to is cars.

A good job and unit can make people take a high look these days. Even when looking for a partner, your ability and the conditions of the workplace can add a lot of points. No matter how handsome a rural boy is, he can't compare to someone who has a job in the city.

Luo Cheng took the key, paid the money, took the receipt, thanked him, and followed the guest house staff's advice, and took two bottles of hot water directly upstairs.

"He's from a car repair shop. Hey, he's really nice."

After Luo Cheng went upstairs, the guest house staff whispered enviously in their hearts. The work in the guest house is indeed enviable, relaxing and leisurely. But there is no technical skills, and the salary is a few yuan higher than that of ordinary workers, but they are only first-level formal workers. Any company with second-level employees is better than them.

But what makes the guest house staff envious is not the other party's salary, but the fact that the unit level is much higher than theirs. Auto repair departments are now established at the city level at least. Cities below the city level do not have repair shops.

But due to technical reasons, cars are currently a high-end industry. Those with good car repair skills can easily find jobs in provincial enterprises or even central enterprises. At least those who apply for redeployment will be accepted.

This leads to a problem. If the enterprise level is low, it may have no impact on ordinary workers, but for senior technicians or leaders, there is an upper limit.

Just like in township and village enterprises, the highest level of the director of a small factory may be deputy department, while in a big city, the canteen director of a factory can have the salary level of deputy department.

What is said in this era is correct. Wherever we need to go, we are a nail in the back of the motherland. But there are local needs, and not many people are really selfless. I can go to an urban enterprise instead of staying in a provincial enterprise. If the company level is not equal, it is not a job problem.

Just like a teacher teaching, a high school teacher who has the ability to teach high school will receive the same treatment as an intermediate teacher. Because the junior high school department needs capable teachers, will the treatment of intermediate teachers be changed to junior teachers instead of teaching junior high schools?

You must know that the benefits, benefits and even retirement in the future are very different depending on the level.

Although the address of Ngee Ann Auto Repair Shop is in Ngee Ann City, the department it belongs to is actually a higher-level provincial department. This is actually a provincial enterprise, so the treatment of an apprentice is better than that of a formal employee in other units. This means that it does not recruit workers from outside. If it recruits workers, it will be replaced by the supply and marketing cooperative position that is most envied by ordinary people. Others will not take it. hesitantly.

Two bottles of hot water are a benefit provided by the guest house staff on their own initiative. Others staying in the guest house will not let you take two thermos bottles, even if you take one thermos bottle and use it to exchange for hot water. This hot water is for you to drink. Drinking one bottle alone will not suffocate you.

Use hot water to wash your face and feet. You think this is home and there is cold running water at the corner of the corridor. I want to use hot water to wash my face and feet, so please stop being pretentious. Think of yourself as a foreign guest. This is Nghe An, not the capital. There are no foreign guests in sight.

When Luo Cheng took two bottles of hot water, the people at the guest house took the initiative to ask him to take one to wash up. This unit is of high level, and it really makes people take a high look.

Luo Cheng carried his backpack and two bottles of hot water up to the second floor. Regarding his treatment in the guest house, he did not feel that he was being treated specially. The main reason was that there was no comparison, but he could clearly feel it. After knowing that he was a repair shop, After that, the tone and attitude changed.

The floor of the guest house was a polished and waxed smooth cement floor. When I entered the room with the key, the floor was still the same. There were no tiles or solid wood floors like those of later generations. The walls are whitewashed and look relatively white.

There is a wooden basin shelf at the entrance, and there is even a basin placed for customers to use. A wooden bed with bedside tables, wardrobe, and clothes racks (wooden racks for hanging clothes, not clothes hangers for drying clothes).

It's quite simple. There is no toilet or water in the room. There is a separate toilet outside, separated for men and women. It is relatively simple anyway, but in rural areas, even in Ngee Ann City, most ordinary people cannot live in such a house.

There are many old houses, and most of the people who work are assigned houses. They don't know if they will leave due to job transfers or other reasons, so naturally they won't spend money on renovations. Even if there is a quality problem with the house, you have to go to the street to repair it without spending any money yourself.

After a brief tidying up, Luo Cheng was ready to wash up. There was nothing to see in Ngee Ann City at night. Only some main roads have dim street lights with relatively low intensity, and the shops are all state-owned and closed. There is nothing to eat or play, so what is there to see when going out?

(In this era, many departments have higher administrative levels due to their special nature, and are not necessarily based on local areas. Even in terms of management, some units may not be subject to local restrictions.)
