Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Everyone in the yard stared at the Jia family and saw that the large bowl in front of them was filled to the brim.

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise.

Suddenly, someone laughed out loud, and then everyone in the yard laughed.

No matter how thick-skinned Jia Zhang was, she felt a little embarrassed and her face turned red.

He turned around, pulled the stick, and went home with the bowl in his hand.

The Jia family was really capable. They stole the limelight from the banquet of the eldest master. The whole courtyard was talking about the glorious achievements of Aunt Jia.

"From now on, we can't invite his family to do things at home, otherwise it will be very ugly." An old lady reminded.

"Who said it wasn't true? Last time when Liu Guangqi got married, I sat at the same table with her. That meal was so awkward. If we hadn't been worried about making it look bad at her wedding, we would have left on the spot." Aunt Li looked at the Jia Zhang family with disdain.

"The next day she went to curse someone for drugging them. She blocked the door early in the morning and cursed at them."

"I went to the factory clinic to ask, and it was told that he had gastrointestinal discomfort. He doesn't normally eat much oily food, but now he has eaten too much meat. He must have diarrhea," explained a worker at the steel mill.

"What the silly wife of Zhu said is really correct?"

"Ren Shazhu is a hereditary chef after all, so it's normal for him to know something about food."

"Who eats like that? From now on, I don't want to bring their family along when my Jie Cheng gets married. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the food, they'll blackmail us." The third uncle took a sip of wine, shook his head and complained.

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Can your family afford to spend as much as the Liu family? I guess it's not even as good as the table of the old man.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about the Jia family leaving, he was still drinking with the people at the same table, his excitement was beyond words.

In the middle courtyard, the Jia family sat around the table, staring at the two large bowls of food, unable to take their eyes off.

"Mom, the food can't be kept in this weather, let's eat it together?" Qin Huairu said in a low voice, and set the table for Jia Zhang and Banggeng.

Jia Zhang was somewhat reluctant, but she really couldn't eat any more, so she had to agree to let them eat together.

No one in the family spoke, they were all just eating. They were very satisfied with the meal.

Liu Haizhong couldn't eat when he got home. He just drank some cornmeal porridge and went to bed.

Listening to the hustle and bustle in the central courtyard, I felt more and more annoyed, so I simply covered my ears and went to sleep.

……

As soon as Liu Qingshan arrived at the steel mill on Monday, he heard good news: the factory was going to build a new workshop specifically for the metal induction access control and handheld metal induction instruments made by the production technology department.

The factory has already held a meeting to discuss the issue and has allocated a piece of land in the factory. The preliminary work of leveling the site has already begun. The next step is to start digging the foundation.

The factory also posted recruitment information.

Section Chief Qin specifically told Liu Qingshan what the factory director had instructed him to do.

"The factory has two recruitment quotas for you. Everyone else in the technical department will get one. Here are two recruitment forms. Take them back."

Section Chief Qin still likes this smart young man very much. He always comes up with good ideas from time to time and always brings them surprises.

"Thank you, Chief, and thank you for the factory's concern for me. Thank you." Liu Qingshan exchanged a few polite words with Chief Qin, then left with the registration form.

Several people in the technical department received the registration forms. The atmosphere in the office was high and everyone was excited.

This form represents a quota to enter the factory, which is extremely precious to many people today.

For a rural person, it is a springboard to cross classes.

You can become a city dweller in just one step.

The fact that several people in the technical department had quotas in their hands could not be hidden at all; it was an open secret in the factory.

At noon, when Liu Qingshan was having lunch, Sha Zhu came over.

"Brother Qingshan, I heard that you have a quota to join the factory. Is that true?"

Liu Qingshan did not hide anything and simply nodded and admitted it.

"Brother, please keep this position for me. My wife has always wanted to work in the factory. I won't let you suffer any loss." Sha Zhu pulled Liu Qingshan's arm and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it for you if you need it." Liu Qingshan didn't say much. There were quite a few people in the cafeteria, and Liu Qingshan didn't want to attract attention.

"Okay! Okay! Let's talk when we get back." With that, the two of them parted ways.

All afternoon, people kept coming to visit the Technical Department, all of them were acquaintances.

He asked in a roundabout way about the quota for employment in the factory.

The technical department was unable to work normally for the whole afternoon. Tang Xiaoling didn't finish a single drawing in the whole afternoon.

Liu Qingshan even drank tea for half a day.

As soon as I got home in the evening, the third uncle came to my door.

"Qingshan, you and Jie Cheng grew up together. Jie Cheng is still hanging around the streets. I heard that you have a quota to work in the factory. Can you help Jie Cheng?"

These words are spoken with sincerity, and they do not offer even a penny of benefit. He is truly worthy of being called Yan Laoxi.

"Third uncle, this quota was taken at noon, and we really don't have any more. Why don't you go find first uncle and think of a solution? He is a senior worker in the factory and has face in front of the factory leaders." Liu Qingshan didn't want to be entangled by Yan Bugui, so he could only divert the trouble away.

"Qingshan, it's meaningless when you say that. How can it be announced so quickly when it was just announced today?" The third uncle is not going to give up so easily.

"If you insist on asking, then I'll tell you, don't talk nonsense when you go out. It's Zhuzi's wife, and Tian Xiuyun has to go to work. Brother Zhuzi came to me for help, how could I not give him the position? My Xixi eats at his house every day, how could I be so unreasonable?" Liu Qingshan chatted in a low voice with the third uncle.

The third uncle thought about it and realized that it was true. Tian Xiuyun had a good relationship with Qingshan's wife and was also his child's half-wet nurse. He probably had no hope of making any more of this relationship. He turned around and left without even saying hello.

Just after the Liu family finished dinner in the evening, Sha Zhu and his family of three came in.

"Everyone is here, Qingshan. I have told my wife about what I told you at noon. We have some money on hand. I will give you 300 first, and then 200 when we have more money. Do you think it's okay?" Sha Zhu felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

He also learned from others that the current quota for entering the factory is basically around 500. The steel rolling mill has good welfare benefits, and the basic salary is between 600 and 800.

It is a product that has a high price but is not in demand, and is rarely sold outside.

"What are you talking about? How can I charge you for money? Take this money back, otherwise people will know what kind of people our family has become." As he said that, Liu Qingshan stood up, took out an employment form from his briefcase and handed it to Tian Xiuyun.

"Sister-in-law, I asked around at noon. The new workshop has an easier job like custodian. You can ask when you get there." Liu Qingshan asked the recruiter at noon and got some information from him.

"Hey, thank you, Brother Qingshan."

"Take this money. We have to follow some rules. Otherwise, I won't be able to do my job with peace of mind."

Tian Xiuyun felt like she was dreaming.

"Sister-in-law, you are still an intern after entering the factory. Work hard. When you become a regular employee, your life will be better."
