Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Time passed quickly, and it was the 1960th day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and the New Year of was getting closer and closer.

Although supplies are scarce at the moment, there are still many people selling things on the streets. People come out to buy New Year's goods in an endless stream, making it very lively and full of the festive atmosphere.

In the laboratory of Tsinghua University, Professor Wu and two other students had just finished lunch.

"Lianshan, Zhengguo, the New Year is only a few days away. This afternoon, let's clean up the laboratory and then officially have a holiday."

"okay!"

The two replied happily.

Who doesn’t like a holiday? They are no exception.

"Hey! That's not right? Mr. Wu, you just said that tomorrow is a holiday, so when will we come back to work?"

After being happy, Sun Zhengguo asked doubtfully.

"Jungguk, you are not our official employee, but you don't get paid. After the holiday, do you still want to come?"

Professor Wu still hopes that Sun Zhengguo can come. After all, there are still many days to earn money! Only when you learn something can it be yours!

At the same time, he also wanted to see how his most respected student would answer this question.

"Mr. Wu, I'd better come over normally! I still want to learn more skills and don't care about the salary. Just tell me when I can come over."

"Haha! Good!" Professor Wu praised happily.

"Since you are willing to come here to learn some skills, then you can come directly on the sixth day of the New Year like us. If you really have something to do at home, it's okay to come two days later."

"It's okay. I won't make any special arrangements. I'll just come on the sixth day."

After talking about holidays and work, Sun Zhengguo picked up a few people’s lunch boxes and walked outside to the pool.

No way? Although his skills are not bad, he has the least experience here.

You know, Senior Brother Chen has been washing lunch boxes for several years and has never complained. Now it's his turn, he can't break the rules.

In the afternoon, several people began to clean up the laboratory and put some drawings, books, tools, etc. into storage boxes.

I also put some dismantled machinery in order and finally cleaned it up, and the work was basically done.

"Mr. Wu, do you think this is okay? If it's okay, I'll tell Senior Brother Chen to withdraw first."

Sun Zhengguo asked cheerfully.

Senior Brother Chen standing by also had a look of anticipation on his face.

"Go ahead! Drive slowly. I wish you all a happy new year in advance! Especially for Zhengguo, I wish you to have another big fat boy next year."

"Hahaha……!"

"Thank you for your kind words! We also wish you good health and success in everything."

Amidst happy laughter, everyone greeted each other and the holiday officially began.

After leaving school, Sun Zhengguo looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so he didn't rush home, but instead prepared to go to Liangcai Garment Store.

The clothes and scarf I made for my wife some time ago should be almost finished, so I went to pick them up today.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, many people came to Liangcai Garment Store. Some came to pick up clothes, while others just collected enough cotton coupons and were preparing to make a cotton jacket before the New Year.

By the time Sun Zhengguo arrived, the two shop assistants were so busy that they even had to queue up.

Fortunately, Sun Zhengguo was not here to make clothes, so it was not that complicated. After waiting in line for a while, he got the clothes. After checking them carefully and finding no problems, he drove home.

At the gate of the courtyard, Yan Bugui greeted Sun Zhengguo warmly, but when he learned that the bag contained new clothes, he immediately lost interest.

However, some young girls and wives showed envious eyes when they saw the new cotton-padded jackets and new scarves in the bags.

"Zhengguo, your school really knows how to employ people. The New Year is coming in a few days, and you don't pay them a penny, but you're still letting them work for free! This is more capitalist than a capitalist."

Yan Bugui's words seemed to be out of concern for Sun Zhengguo, but actually he was mocking him in his heart. What a fool! What the point of working without money.

The neighbors nearby looked at Sun Zhengguo as if he were an idiot.

"Uncle, you can't say that. I'm still a student, why should I ask for a salary? I'm mainly learning technology, but it's almost over. I won't have to study after the Chinese New Year."

Sun Zhengguo said half of his words and left the other half, then pushed the cart and tried to go into the house.

"Wait, Zhengguo, what do you mean by that? Why didn't you go after the New Year? Is there something wrong?"

Yan Bugui grabbed Sun Zhengguo's bicycle and asked in confusion.

Not only Yan Bugui was curious, but some people around him were also curious. The Sun family was not short of money, so why did they just say they would not go?

Seeing that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, Sun Zhengguo was ready to vent his anger and let you guys laugh at me. You will probably be shocked in a while.

"Uncle, let me tell you this! I don't want a penny of salary every day. I go to the school to help. The school leaders see that I am doing a good job, so they decided to let me graduate early, and also assigned me a job, and exempted me from the internship period."

"How is this possible? I don't need to be paid to work, and this is a benefit."

Yan Bugui said he couldn’t understand?

The neighbors nearby were also excited and started talking about it.

"See! What did I say? The kid is not stupid, how could he work for nothing every day? Now, he's been noticed by the school leaders."

"Aunt Li, that's not what you said just now. You even said that he was like an idiot and didn't know what he was trying to do."

"Keep your voice down so no one can hear you."

The entrance was so big that although the people were talking quietly, Sun Zhengguo could still hear a little bit. But who cares! If you don't make people jealous, you are mediocre.

"Jungguk, didn't you just say that you would be assigned a job? Then where were you assigned to?"

This is the issue that Yan Bugui is concerned about. So what even if you are guaranteed a job?

If you can't get a good job, it would be a waste of your time as a college student.

"Uncle, I don't know the details yet? It seems that several ministries and commissions want me. I still need to think about which unit to go to. I will give them a reply after the Chinese New Year. No rush, no rush."

After successfully pretending to be awesome and getting slapped in the face, Sun Zhengguo pushed the cart away. This time no one stopped him. Everyone was still thinking about what he had just said.

Why couldn't Yan Bugui understand this? College students are in such short supply now, he could choose from a few ministries and commissions, and once he started working, he could even waive the internship period and earn 55 yuan a month.

Such a salary, in the compound, is the peak of one's career as soon as one debuts, and very few people can get it.

"Hey! Why isn't Sun Zhengguo my son? If he were my son, I could earn 10 yuan a month... No, no, no! How wonderful it would be to earn 20 yuan for living expenses!"

Yan Bugui, standing at the door, fell into endless reverie.

But in the end it was just a dream!
