Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

With the good news that the National Day factory successfully signed a contract with a foreigner, the whole factory seemed to be activated by an invisible force and instantly fell into a tense and busy atmosphere. On the production line, various machines roared non-stop. They were like tireless giants, running day and night, turning raw materials into exquisite products step by step. The workers were dressed in uniform work clothes and shuttled between the machines. They either operated the equipment or checked the product quality. Everyone's face was full of concentration and seriousness. In order to ensure that the order can be delivered on time, the workers voluntarily worked overtime. Their figures were elongated under the lights, reflecting pictures of hard work.

However, as the scale of production continued to expand, a thorny problem gradually surfaced - not enough manpower! In order to solve this problem, the factory management decided to launch an unprecedented large-scale recruitment campaign. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the city, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

In an old community in the city, there lived three educated youths, two men and one woman, Li Ming, Zhang Wei and Zhao Qing. Since returning to the city, they have not been able to find a suitable job. They have nothing to do every day, and their lives seem a bit monotonous and boring. They are eager to change the status quo, but suffer from the lack of opportunities.

It was a sunny day, but the mood of the three people was incompatible with the sunny weather and seemed a little gloomy. Li Ming and Zhang Wei were strolling in the small square of the community. Their steps were aimless, occasionally kicking stones and chatting about irrelevant topics to kill time. Zhao Qing was sitting on a bench nearby, holding an old book in her hand, but her eyes often drifted away. Obviously, her mind was not on the book, but on thinking about the future.

"Oh, this life is so boring!" Li Ming sighed and kicked a small stone away with force, as if to kick away the depression in his heart.

"Yeah, it's like this every day, and I don't know when it will end." Zhang Wei echoed, his hands in his trouser pockets, looking around aimlessly, his eyes revealing confusion and helplessness.

Zhao Qing gently closed the book, looked up at them, a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "I heard that some factories in the city are recruiting workers recently, should we give it a try?"

When Li Ming and Zhang Wei heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had seen a ray of light in the darkness: "Really? Then let's go and find out!"

After the three returned home, they immediately started asking around for job openings. They walked around the streets and asked their neighbors, and finally learned the good news that the National Day factory was hiring. This news filled them with joy and anticipation, as if they had seen the dawn of a new destiny.

"Great! Let's try it tomorrow!" Li Ming said excitedly, his voice full of firmness and determination.

"Yes, maybe I can find a job this time!" Zhang Wei also echoed excitedly, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Qing smiled and nodded, silently praying in her heart that tomorrow would go smoothly, hoping that she could change her destiny through this opportunity.

The next morning, as soon as the sky turned pale, the three of them got up impatiently. They knew that today was of great significance to them, so every detail could not be sloppy. Li Ming and Zhang Wei changed into the clean and tidy clothes they had specially prepared. They were new clothes that they usually didn't want to wear, and wearing them at this moment seemed to bring them new hope and strength. Their hair was combed neatly, and every strand of hair revealed their determination and fighting spirit.

Zhao Qing chose a simple and elegant dress. The soft fabric and elegant color perfectly set off her gentle temperament. Her makeup was simple but delicate, and every detail was just right, showing her intellectual charm without losing her feminine beauty.

They arrived at the Guoqing factory with trepidation, only to see a long queue of people lining up at the factory gate. Everyone looked expectant and nervous, as if this interview was the turning point of their fate. The three smiled at each other, feeling nervous and expectant. They knew that this interview would determine their future and was a key step towards a new life.

Finally, it was their turn to be interviewed. They walked into the interview room and faced the interviewer. Their heartbeats accelerated, but they all tried to stay calm.

Li Ming spoke first, his voice firm and powerful: "Hello, my name is Li Ming. I have worked in the countryside for many years and have accumulated rich practical experience. I know that work is not easy, but I am never afraid of difficulties and challenges. I believe that my hard-working spirit and perseverance will definitely contribute to the development of the factory."

Next was Zhang Wei, who confidently demonstrated his technical and learning abilities: "Hello, my name is Zhang Wei. I am good at machining and electronic equipment repair, and I also have a strong learning ability. I believe that in the big family of the National Day Factory, I will be able to continuously improve my skills and contribute my wisdom to the production and development of the factory."

Finally, it was Zhao Qing's turn. Her voice was gentle but firm: "Hello, my name is Zhao Qing. Although I don't have much technical experience, I am careful and patient. I believe that I can take every detail seriously at work to ensure the quality and safety of the products. At the same time, I am willing to continue to learn new knowledge, improve my abilities, and contribute to the development of the factory."

The interviewer listened to their introduction and nodded his head to show his approval from time to time. Their abilities and strengths were fully demonstrated in the interview, which also left a deep impression on the interviewer.

After the interview, they walked out of the factory with their hearts full of expectations and hope. Although they didn't know the results, they believed that as long as they worked hard, they would definitely gain something. They encouraged each other and looked forward to a better future.

A few days later, when they received the employment notice from the National Day Factory, the three of them were so excited that they almost jumped up. They hugged each other tightly and celebrated this hard-won victory. This job not only means that they will have a stable income and life security, but also means that they have found their own stage and life direction.

In the National Day factory, they use their sweat and wisdom to contribute to the development of the factory. They work hard, constantly learn new knowledge and skills, and strive to improve their ability level. Their efforts have been rewarded, and the development of the factory is also booming.

They know that this is just a new beginning, and there will be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them in the future. But they believe that as long as they work together, they will be able to create a better future. They look forward to writing their own wonderful chapters in the big family of the National Day Factory.

The three of them, along with other new employees who passed the interview, stepped into the yard of the Guoqing factory. The yard was spacious and clean, as if every inch of land revealed rigor and order. Several rows of tall sycamore trees stood upright with lush branches and leaves, bringing a rare coolness to this hot summer day. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on the ground, forming mottled light and shadows, as if the fragments of time condensed at this moment.

The deputy director had been waiting in the middle of the yard for a long time. He was wearing a neat dark blue work suit with the factory logo embroidered on it, which was particularly eye-catching. His face was serious but kind, and his eyes revealed his expectations and care for the new employees. When the new employees stood still, the deputy director cleared his throat, and his voice was loud and powerful, penetrating the entire yard.

"Welcome to join the big family of National Day Factory!" The deputy director's voice was full of enthusiasm and sincerity. "Here, you will start a new career and will also face new challenges and opportunities. But please remember that safety is our top priority at all times. During the production process, you must strictly abide by the operating procedures to ensure the safety of yourself and others. Only when we are safe can we work better and live better. National Day Factory is a united and enterprising collective. We believe that with everyone's joint efforts, we will be able to create a more brilliant tomorrow!"

As soon as the deputy director finished speaking, the new employees nodded in agreement. They knew that safety was the foundation of production and the guarantee of their future work. Looking at the deputy director's determined eyes, they were filled with confidence and expectations.

After the training, the new employees, led by the old employees, came to their respective workshops. Li Ming, Zhang Wei and Zhao Qing were assigned to the same workshop. They were nervous and excited. Following an experienced old employee, Master Wang, they began their learning journey.

Master Wang was wearing a blue work suit and a yellow safety helmet. The hat was particularly dazzling in the sun, as if it was a symbol of his professional identity. He wore a pair of thick labor protection gloves, and each knuckle was tightly wrapped, revealing his rigorous attitude towards work. He smiled at the new employees, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation, and his voice was gentle and kind: "Hello everyone, I am Master Wang. Starting today, I will teach you how to use these machines. Don't worry, although the machine operation looks complicated, as long as you study hard, you will soon master the skills."

As he spoke, Master Wang walked to a tall machine that exuded a metallic luster and shone brightly under the light. He gently pressed a button, and the machine emitted a low roar, as if showing its power to the new employees. Master Wang explained while operating, and every movement he made seemed so skillful and natural, as if he had become one with the machine. He introduced in detail every component and every function of the machine, as well as their roles and precautions during operation. His explanation was clear and concise, as if every detail was engraved in his mind, making it effortless for the new employees to understand.

The new employees gathered around him, watching and listening attentively. Li Ming and Zhang Wei were very interested in the operation of the machine. They stared at every move of Master Wang with wide eyes, afraid of missing any details. Their eyes were full of curiosity and desire, as if they couldn't wait to operate the machine themselves. Although Zhao Qing was not very familiar with the operation of the machine, she also listened carefully and tried to remember every step. She nodded from time to time to show her understanding, and occasionally asked some questions, and Master Wang would patiently answer them for her.

Under the careful guidance of Master Wang, the new employees quickly mastered the basic operation methods of the machine. They began to take turns to operate the machine, and everyone seemed so focused and serious. Master Wang guided and corrected them on the side. His eyes were sharp and accurate, and he could always find the shortcomings of the new employees' operation at the first time. Whenever someone operated improperly, he would patiently point out the problem and teach them the correct operation method. His voice was gentle and firm, as if there was a kind of magic that enabled the new employees to quickly master the skills and continue to improve in practice.

As time went by, the new employees became more and more skilled in their operations. They exchanged experiences with each other, helped each other improve, and seemed to have integrated into this united and progressive collective. They not only learned how to use the machine, but also how to maintain the machine and how to troubleshoot. They began to understand how to judge the machine's operating status based on the machine's sound, temperature and other parameters, and how to quickly find the problem and take appropriate measures when a fault occurs.

After several days of learning and practice, Li Ming, Zhang Wei and Zhao Qing have become proficient in operating the machines. Their movements are smooth and accurate, as if they have established a tacit understanding with the machines. They know that this is just the beginning of their careers, and there will be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them in the future. But they believe that as long as they keep learning and working hard, they will be able to realize their dreams and values ​​in the big family of the National Day Factory. They look forward to working hand in hand with their colleagues in the days to come to create a more brilliant tomorrow together!

Li Ming walked briskly out of the heavy and historic gate of the National Day Factory. His mood seemed to be dyed golden by the setting sun, bright and warm. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the alley, covering the low brick and tile houses with a layer of soft brilliance. He turned into a narrow alley full of life. It seemed like a corner forgotten by time. Every brick and tile revealed the traces of time.

On both sides are low brick houses, in front of which are some leisurely old men and women sitting or standing, waving fans or chatting about family matters, their faces filled with satisfaction and tranquility. When they see Li Ming, they all cast envious glances at him, as if he is the pride of this alley.

"Oh, isn't this Xiao Li? I heard that you work in the National Day Factory. That's a good place!" An old man said with a smile, waving a palm-leaf fan, his eyes full of admiration and affirmation for Li Ming.

"Yes, Xiao Li is really promising, unlike our kid who just hangs around all day and can't even find a decent job." An old lady next to him echoed, her eyes full of praise and envy for Li Ming. She gently patted her grandson beside her, as if to say, "Look at Xiao Li, he is so promising!"

Li Ming felt a surge of pride when he heard these compliments. He smiled and nodded in response, and his steps became lighter. He knew that this job not only gave him a stable income, but also earned him respect and envy among his neighbors. He secretly made up his mind to work harder and live up to everyone's expectations.

When Li Ming got home and opened the door, a familiar and warm atmosphere hit him. His father was sitting at the table reading a newspaper, his eyes behind his glasses revealing a bit of wisdom and calmness. His mother was busy in the kitchen, the clashing of pots and pans played a cheerful movement. His elder sister was mending clothes, the needle and thread in her hands seemed to be her delicate care for this family. His younger sister was sitting on a small stool, holding a comic book in her hand, but her eyes kept glancing at the door, obviously waiting for Li Ming to come back.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Li Ming shouted happily, his voice full of attachment and warmth for home.

"Hey, you're back. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner." The mother poked her head out of the kitchen with a loving smile on her face. Her eyes were full of love and care for her son, as if to say, "My son, you've worked hard. Come sit down and have a rest."

At the dinner table, the family sat together, and Li Ming became the center of conversation. His father asked him how his work was going and if it was going well; his mother asked if he was tired and if he wanted to eat more; his sister asked about interesting things in the factory and wanted to hear about his brother's experiences. Li Ming answered them one by one, and did not forget to mention that there would be a bonus at the end of the month, and the salary would reach 100 yuan. This was undoubtedly a considerable amount of money in the 80s, enough to make this not-so-rich family feel happy and proud.

"Really? That's great!" Dad smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. He gently patted Li Ming's shoulder, as if to say, "My child, you are really great!" Mom also patted the back of Li Ming's hand excitedly, "Our Xiao Ming is really promising, Mom is proud of you."

The younger sister was so excited that she almost jumped up. She held Li Ming's hand and said coquettishly, "Brother, can you buy me a new dress? My classmates all have them, but I don't." Her eyes were full of trust and expectation for her brother, as if to say, "Brother, you will definitely be able to fulfill my wish."

Li Ming looked at his sister's expectant eyes, and his heart softened. He smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll buy it for you when I get my salary." His voice was full of love and promise to his sister, as if to say: "Sister, I will definitely help you realize your wish."

The family was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and the dinner became even more delicious. Li Ming knew that the meaning of this job was far more than money. It was also a bridge connecting the emotions of his family, which made him feel unprecedented happiness and satisfaction. He secretly made up his mind to work harder, not only for his own future, but also for this family, to make this family better and warmer.
