Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Brothers, An Tong and An Song have graduated, An Huan and Amber have also gone to college, and they are all adults now. An Huan is a junior and Amber is a sophomore. Zhao Shanhe fulfilled his promise and gave Amber a car.

They drank until midnight, and the third uncle stayed there directly. The two brothers-in-law of the second and third uncles drove home with their wives.

An Tong and An Song entered the company smoothly. According to what Zhao Shanhe said, they were arranged by Zhao Shanhu to the bottom level, but not the lowest level. They were small leaders. The people at the bottom level were just doing the work, and there was no point in doing that.

What they need to learn is management, so let’s start with managing a few people.

"An Huan, your eldest uncle has also graduated, right? Do you know where your eldest uncle has been assigned?"

"My eldest brother-in-law hasn't graduated yet. They have a five-year program, but the place has been determined. According to his wishes, he was assigned to the Automobile Industry Department in advance."

四九城工业大学从85年率先试行“供需见面、以销定产”，提前一年预分八六届毕业生。据本报1985年4月4日1版《四九城工大提前一年预分毕业生》记载，

At that time, the Sijiucheng University of Technology was a five-year engineering college. Students were assigned one year in advance, and they could choose their jobs in their final year.

Teachers can consciously choose elective courses and arrange graduation projects; teachers can also consciously formulate teaching plans and carry out specific training. The implementation of such reforms has avoided some of the blindness in the previous graduate assignments, so that graduates can better play their roles after they arrive at their jobs with their majors.

"Oh, the Automotive Industry Division is a good place, too. I was thinking of bringing your brother-in-law to our company's R&D department. Now that the job has been signed, forget it."

In September, the situation changed. In 1987, 9 graduates from the capital's colleges and universities participated in the job assignment. By the end of September, 659 graduates were rejected by their employers. This number of graduates being rejected was unprecedented.

Zhao Shanhe also saw this report, which means that the supply and demand relationship is about to change, and the distribution model is about to change, becoming a two-way rush.

Sure enough, in April 88, Beijing took the lead in changing the model. Enterprises entered campuses and no longer guaranteed job placements. Enterprises and students chose each other.

In 1988, most colleges and universities in Beijing adopted an allocation method of meeting supply and demand and two-way selection. Some even directly invited employers to set up stalls in the school to let graduates understand social demand information and recommend themselves to the society.

In order to provide college students with more job-seeking opportunities, in April 1988, the city held its first college graduate placement consultation meeting. More than 4 employers set up consultation desks in the Temple of Heaven Park.

Nearly 50 fresh graduates from more than colleges and universities in the capital went to the job fair, and some "deals" were signed on the spot. The employment of college graduates in the city began to replace "arranged marriages" with "free love".

Not wanting to lag behind, the Zhao Group seized the opportunity to enter major universities and use high salaries to attract university talents.

Compared with the high salaries of the Zhao Group, public institutions are more popular. Only a small number of people choose the Zhao Group for money. However, with so many universities, the Zhao Group still attracts a lot of talents.

The quality of college students in the 1980s was very high, and they cannot be compared with the common college students in later generations.

Back in February 1988, Evian confirmed her pregnancy during the graduation season in July 2. She was already two months pregnant at that time, that is, she became pregnant in May. In February 1987, she was exactly full-term and reached her due date.

The Spring Festival of 1988 was on February 2th, and the due date happened to be around the Spring Festival. Yiyun was admitted to the hospital in advance, and Qin Jingru and Aunt Chen were taking care of her.

On New Year's Eve, the baby was still not born. As the baby was not born, everyone gathered together to have the New Year's Eve dinner. Yiyun, Qin Jingru and An Tong were in the hospital and did not come.

Everyone else was in the courtyard, and the topic was all about the unborn child.

Shanhai said, "Brother, I see this kid is holding back. After today it will be the Year of the Dragon, and he wants to get a good zodiac sign. Dragon is the best."

Uncle San also said, "I think so too. This child wants to choose a good day to be born."

"By the way, Shanhe, have you thought of a name for the child? Should we follow the family tree or give him a separate name?"

"Uncle San, I haven't thought about this yet. When An Tong was born, Uncle Er hadn't found us yet, and we didn't know the generation name in our hometown, so I decided to give him the character "An."

"Now that it's in the family tree, why don't we just name the child according to the tree? When we go back to worship our ancestors in the future, we can put the child in the family tree and then we don't have to change the name. I wonder what the next generation's name will be?"

"Five characters for each generation: Shan, Guang, Ding, Yong, and then a single character. I think it was Ding."

"Uncle San, isn't that right? If there are five characters in a generation, then Zhao Gang, who shares a dormitory with An Tong, should be in the Ding generation. How can he be given a single character?"

"I don't know either. Logically, he calls you grandpa, which is the Ding generation. I don't know why he is called Zhao Gang." (I dug a hole for myself earlier. Let me explain it to you.)

An Huan said, "Dad, I know this. Zhao Gang thinks his full name sounds bad, so he told us his nickname, which is "Gangzi". But he still uses his full name for everything when registering."

Zhao Shanhai came over and said, "Oh, what's his full name? Tell me, nephew, how ugly it is. Can it be even uglier than quail?"

"Uncle San, what quail? Zhao Gang's real name is Zhao Dingfang."

"It's not bad to listen to. Zhao Dingfang is quite nice."

"Uncle San, don't you think it sounds like a girl's name? By the way, Uncle San, what's this quail you mentioned?"

"An Huan, you forgot that this was not your name when you were a child. You were called Zhao Anchun before, and they all called you Quail. You cried and went to my brother, and then he changed your name to An Huan."

Zhao Shanhe was a little embarrassed. It was true that An Huan called him quail at the beginning.

An Huan was still reminiscing, "Dad, really? My name used to be An Chun, I forgot."

Zhao Shanhe changed the subject, "Uncle, you and my father are both gold, silver, and iron, all with the character for gold on the side. We are rivers, lakes, and seas, all with water, gold gives birth to water. An Tong and An Song are both wood, water gives birth to wood. How about we start with this? What do you think?"

"Brother, according to what you said, wood gives birth to fire. In addition to the character "Ding" in the generation name, will the next generation also have a radical with fire in it?" Zhao Shanhai asked

Zhao Shanhe nodded, "That's what I think, what do you think?"
