Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

In the evening, Liu Guangtian suddenly came and called Li Gang to hold a meeting of the entire hospital, but no one knew what it was about.

Yi Zhonghai has been feeling better since he was beaten up by the Ding family. Could it be that he wants to punish Sha Zhu by holding this meeting? He doesn't have the courage to do so.

The eldest sister and the others also wanted to see the excitement, so they went to the central courtyard together. Sha Zhu saw that Li Gang and a group of people had come to the meeting with small stools, so he and his wife sat in front of Li Gang, and the two of them whispered to each other.

It was the first time for Zhao Dahua to see a meeting like this and she was very curious. Her head was turning around and suddenly she found that several pairs of eyes seemed to be looking at her. She took a quick look and saw a man with a long face looking at her and another man with a very thin body also looking at her. These two people were of course Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng.

But Zhao Dahua was just being sentimental. Xu Damao looked at her because of her black neck, and Yan Jiecheng didn't look at her because he liked her. It was because Yan Fugui said there was a girl in Li Gang's house who was Li Gang's relative. He just looked at her.

When the meeting started, Liu Haizhong said the same thing, "What kind of meeting? Today's meeting is about a few things. As for what they are, let our uncle tell you." After he finished speaking, he did not sit down, waiting for applause. Yu Li and Ding Qiuxia had already heard Li Gang introduce the uncles in the hospital. When they saw it today, it was true. Yi Zhonghai had already confirmed it, and this time Liu Haizhong also confirmed it. It seems that what Xiao Si said was right.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were still slightly bruised, but today's meeting was very important.

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and said, "We have received a notice from above that the steel mill will recruit 95 more people this year. Our No. yard has been allocated a quota for an apprentice. Let's see who is suitable."

"Huahuahuahua," the neighbors exclaimed. The steel mill was expanding its recruitment, but there was no news at all. This was too sudden. Yan Fugui, Liu Haizhong, and all the people working in the steel mill had not heard of the recruitment news. Who doesn't have children? Who doesn't have relatives?

Yi Zhonghai also received the notice suddenly, and was required to report the person tomorrow, otherwise the registration would be automatically cancelled.

There are many people who want this spot, including Yan Jiecheng, Qin Huairu, and the neighbors in the courtyard, such as Passerby A.

The most promising ones are Yan Jiecheng and Qin Huairu.

He said he was in a difficult situation and that his family had a hard time. In the end, it was Yan Jiecheng who got the quota because Yan Fugui won by producing one pound more corn flour than any other household. Why was Yan Fugui so willing to spend so much? It was because Yan Jiecheng agreed to his conditions, which was to pay Yan Fugui 350 yuan per month based on 10 yuan until the amount was paid. Only then did Yan Fugui suffer such a huge loss.

Qin Huairu also wanted to go to work, but Jia Zhangshi didn't want to pay. This was 11 jin of corn flour for the family, more than jin and almost jin. Where could Qin Huairu get it? Even if she went to borrow it now, it would be too late. If she had asked Yi Zhonghai before, she might have been able to borrow it, but since Jia Dongxu didn't help him when he was beaten, Yi Zhonghai has been alienated from the Jia family. These days, Jia Dongxu is trying to curry favor with Yi Zhonghai, so Yan Fugui took it. After the meeting, Li Gang invited Sha Zhu to sit in the courtyard.

A few people in the courtyard sat in the pavilion drinking tea

Li Gang: "Zhu Zi, I haven't heard anything about the steel mill recruiting, did you know?"

Sha Zhu: "I did hear the news, but I heard it yesterday when I was cooking. Li Huaide talked about it with several middle and senior leaders during dinner, so I just listened to it. No one in my family needs a job at the steel mill, so why should I care about it?"

Li Gang understood that the 3,000 people had been almost divided up internally, and only a few were released to the streets. This was right. If the news had been known earlier, people would have rushed to get them. Now the city is streamlining its population, and who doesn't want a job? Only important factories like steel rolling mills were given the same job, and other general factories were treated the same way.

Zhao Dahua suddenly said, "Xiao Si, can you arrange for me to work in the steel mill?" Several people were shocked. You went to the steel mill and called me Xiao Si. Let alone the steel mill, you didn't call me Xiao Si. Didn't you see that even the Zhao brothers called me Xiao Si? They didn't call me Xiao Si directly, and they arranged for you to work in the steel mill.

Li Gang looked at Zhao Dahua with disdain, and the eldest sister's face turned pale. Zhao Dahe was not a fool either, and he also waited for Zhao Dahua. Zhao Dahua was frightened by his second brother's scolding, "Second brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhao Dahe: "You will go back to Zhaojia Village tomorrow. This is not your home."

When Zhao Dahua heard her second brother asking her to go back tomorrow, she wondered what she was going back for. It was so nice here, with good food and good accommodation. She didn't want to go back.

Zhao Dahua: "Xiao Si didn't even let me go back, why do you want me to go back?"

Zhao Dahe slapped the stone table and said, "You still call me Xiao Si? Do you think you can call me Xiao Si? Stop talking. I will personally send you back tomorrow. Just wait for my father to beat you to death."

Zhao Dahua also refused to accept it. "I won't go back, I won't go back. Xiao Si didn't chase me away, you..." There was a crisp sound of "pa". Zhao Dahe really couldn't stand this stupid and silly sister, who was still calling Xiao Si "Xiao Si" all the time.

Zhao Dahua ran back to the house crying. Yu Li and the others also went home to sleep. Li Gang stood up and said, "If you are not destined to be a princess, don't have such wild dreams."

Zhao Dahe's face turned red after hearing what Li Gang said.

Li Gang took two steps, then stopped and said, "Brother, come to my room for a moment."

Li Gang walked into the house and sat down. "Brother, do you also want to work in the city?"

Zhao Dahe: "Who wouldn't want to work in the city? No longer have to dig in the soil for food, and be able to eat rations. Most importantly, it's easier to find a wife."

Li Gang: "Well, come back tomorrow after you send Dahua back. I'll go to the steel mill and ask if I can find a job for you."

Zhao Dahe stood up immediately. He was shocked by Li Gang's words. He had just heard people in the hospital say that an apprentice now earns at least 350 yuan. With just one word from Li Gang, he could become an apprentice and earn 18 yuan a month. How could he remain calm?

Li Gang: "First, tell me what kind of apprenticeship you would like to do. You may not know that there are many kinds of apprenticeships. For example, Yi Zhonghai is the one who attended the meeting in the hospital. He is a seventh-level fitter and his salary is 89 yuan, not including other things. And Sha Zhu is a chef. He is now a seventh-level cook with a salary of yuan, and a two-yuan squad leader subsidy. There are also forging, lathe operation, and electrician operation. These all take a certain amount of time to learn. Which one do you want to learn?"

Zhao Dahe was stunned. He didn't know which one to choose, so he said, "I don't know which one to choose either. Just give me the choice. I will do my best with any one of them."

Li Gang: "Well, I see that you have quite a bit of strength in your arms, so would you like to drive? I'll find you a trainer who is willing to teach you. In two years, I think you will be able to do it yourself. Being a driver is a good job, and there are a lot of benefits in it. You will know it later."

Zhao Dahe was shocked again. He could learn to drive. He was one of the Eight Great Officials that everyone envied. Haven't you heard that the wheels of a car can turn. Even a county magistrate wouldn't change it.

Zhao Dahe: "Yes, I am willing to drive, I am willing" Zhao Dahe said excitedly

Li Gang "You just saw it. Your younger sister asked me to find a job. First, there are very few jobs for women in the steel rolling mill. Second, she doesn't respect me at all. It's as if the job will come to me with just one word from her. The most important thing for me is that it doesn't matter if she doesn't respect me. She can't always be in my house anyway. What I can't stand the most is that she actually bosses my eldest sister around and asks me to add more food for her. She treats my eldest sister like a maid. When I was a child, my eldest sister was the best to me. She was holding the child, and you asked me to add more food for you. Why would I say that if you are not destined to be a princess, don't have such unrealistic thoughts. Look at Zhao Dahua these few days when she came here. She didn't go to help in the kitchen. She treated my place as her own and she became the master of this house," Li Gang said out loud all the things he didn't like in the past few days. This is called giving you a sweet date and then a stick. You choose for yourself.

Zhao Dahe's eyes were firm. "I will send her back tomorrow morning and tell my father. This is too outrageous."

There was no conversation that night, except for Zhao Dahe and Zhao Dahua who had trouble falling asleep. One was too excited to sleep, and the other was too unwilling to accept his fate.

The next day, Zhao Dahua was dragged back to Zhaojia Village by Zhao Dahe. He didn't know how the old man Zhao would deal with him after he returned.

Li Huaide, Logistics Officer of the Steel Mill, said, "You don't need a job at the steel mill. I tell you, when you turn 18, you can take over. Besides, if you say you don't want to come to the steel mill, with your skills, you can find any job by sending a few wild boars to any factory."

Li Gang heard what Li Huaide said, yes, the accessory factory is better than the steel mill, it is easier to learn to drive there, and Huang Dashan is also related to Li Gang. It is not better for Zhao Dahe to go to the accessory factory than to the steel mill, but it would be nice if the steel mill could keep a few vacancies.

Li Gang: "Who said I don't need a quota? Just because I don't come doesn't mean I don't have relatives or friends who won't come."

Li Huaide said with a serious expression, "Do you really want a quota?"

Li Gang "really want"

Li Huaide: "I can only give you one, and he's an apprentice in the workshop. As for more, it's not impossible. It depends on your ability."

Li Gang: "What conditions?"

Li Huaide: "Five wild boars for one spot, you can have as many as you want."

Li Gang curled his lips and said, "It's easy for you to say that. Five wild boars for one. Do you believe that I can get a job in another factory by taking three wild boars?" Cui Dake can get a job by taking a wild boar, but he dares to ask for five. However, Li Gang didn't see that Li Huaide's mouth was already smiling.

Li Huaide: "Okay, three is fine. The quota for wild boars is available and you can choose any type of job you want."

Li Gang: "One word is a deal"

Li Gang really wanted to ask for a few more places. Li Gang wanted to visit his second sister's home and give her one if needed. There was also Li Gang's grandmother's home in Wangjiazhuang. His grandparents were very kind to Li Gang and gave him all the delicious food. His eldest uncle, second uncle, second aunt and oldest aunt were all nice to Li Gang, but they had visited less frequently since their mother passed away. Li Gang also planned to go and see them.

The next day, Li Gang went into the mountains alone. This time he needed five places, which meant fifteen pigs. Li Gang did not plan to go to the steel rolling mill, the accessories factory, or the grain warehouse. Currently, Li Gang was only familiar with these three factories.
