Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Zhao Yong hurried into the house. He had been eyeing the two bottles of wine his brother-in-law brought last time, but he didn't dare to take more than one bottle. Jiang Feng didn't take the best one, but only took two bottles of Fenjiu. Fenjiu was pretty good, costing several dollars a bottle. Today, when his brother-in-law came, he had to drink some good wine.

When Zhao Zhigang saw the wine Zhao Yong brought, his eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything. Zhao Yong opened the glass and filled his father's glass first, then poured his own glass. The seven people in the family sat around the table.

There were four dishes and a soup on the table. I guess the egg soup was added by the son-in-law. They made braised pork with the meat he brought. The usual dishes at home were potatoes, cabbage, pickled radishes and the like.

Zhao Zhigang and the other two picked up their wine glasses and started drinking. Liu Jing and the others picked up steamed bread and started eating. Zhao Xuelin ate two steamed breads and was full. The others at the table were still drinking. A bottle of wine was almost finished. Liu Jing looked at them and said, "Forget about it. Xiaofeng and Xiaoxue have to go back later."

Zhao Zhigang also nodded, and the others also quickened their pace. After a while, the wine was finished. Everyone ate another steamed bread. Jiang Feng really couldn't eat any more, so he said he was full.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Zhao Xuelin poured a few cups of tea and placed them on the table, then started to clean up with her sister-in-law and mother. Jiang Feng waited until everyone had finished eating, took out a cigarette and gave one to everyone, and then they sat at the table and drank tea.

When several people from the kitchen came out, Jiang Feng looked at everyone and winked at Xiao Xue. Zhao Xuelin said, "Dad, Mom, brother, I discussed with Xiao Feng. My job in the factory is a clerical job and I need to find someone to replace me. Xiao Feng said it's not a big deal and that he's looking for a job for me. What do you think?"

Zhao Zhigang, Liu Jing and Zhao Yong looked at each other, a little bit unbelievable. It was so easy to find a job now. Jiang Feng saw that they were silent and could only continue to say: "It's too troublesome to find someone to replace Xiaoxue's job. I have some connections in the factory, so I thought of finding another job for you. I came here today to ask you if you have any plans."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhigang took a long puff of his cigarette and started coughing. Liu Jing spoke up, "What plans do you have? It's good enough to have a job now. What else can you choose?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Mom, an ordinary worker can still be chosen. Our factory now cooperates with many factories and can still say a few words. For some unimportant matters, you can still say hello. It depends on whether my brother has any ideas."

"Is it really possible to choose?" Zhao Yong had never thought that there would be such a good thing. He was interrupted by Zhao Zhigang as soon as he said one sentence, "What do you choose? You can only do a lot of strength. Xiaofeng, you can arrange it. Arrange it wherever it is easy to enter. Don't owe them too much favor."

"That's fine. What I mean is that we can go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill or the Machinery Factory, one to learn fittership and the other to learn machine repair. Learning a craft is better than anything else. I'll find a master for you, and I promise to teach you clearly."

Zhao Zhigang glanced at Zhao Yong, seeing the expectation in Zhao Yong's eyes, then turned to Jiang Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, you can make the arrangements. Teach him well when he enters the factory. If he doesn't listen, come and tell me, or I will break his legs."

"That's good. Let me make it clear first. To enter the factory, you must start as an apprentice, which is 17 yuan a month. Generally speaking, it takes three years to become a regular employee.

Brother, I will find someone to take good care of you. You must study hard. As long as you can pass the first-class worker exam, I will find a way to get you a permanent job. Then you will get 33 yuan a month, and Dad can be more relaxed. "

"Okay, that's settled then. Xiaofeng, you go and make the arrangements. If it's too troublesome, we'll figure out a way when the time comes. I'll wait for your notification then."

Jiang Feng patted Xiaoxue's hand and said, "Well, it should be no problem. I prefer to work in a machinery factory, but it will require more effort and a flexible mind."

Zhao Zhigang said, "Xiaoyong is not stupid, he just didn't read enough books back then. From now on, learn to read with your sister. Don't wait until you have the materials and can't recognize any words. How can you learn the technology? Jiaojiao, this task is up to you."

"Yes, I promise to complete the task. Just watch me, Dad. What if I don't listen and don't study hard?" After hearing what his little sister said, Zhao Yong glared at Zhao Xuejiao. Zhao Xuejiao glared back in dissatisfaction.

"If he doesn't study hard, he won't be able to get the job Xiaofeng found. If he loses his job, I will break his legs."

Zhao Yong had a look of despair on his face. In this era, being able to find a formal job was like a pie in the sky for families with no one working. Zhao Zhigang was not joking when he said that he would even break his legs if he lost his job. His sister-in-law Wang Lan also agreed with him, saying that this job could be passed on to his children in the future.

Jiang Feng looked at the faces of several people who were as if they were facing a great enemy, and said: "Learn slowly, normally a junior high school education is enough. The cultural level of the mechanics in the factory now varies;

The steel mill also opened a night school to teach literacy, but those were old workers who had been taught by their masters. Now, if you want to learn to read some simple materials and drawings, a junior high school level is enough. "

Zhao Zhigang knew that he didn't know how many favors he would have to pay for it, so he told Liu Jing. Liu Jing went into the inner room and came out with a stack of bills and handed them to Zhao Xuelin. Jiang Feng stopped her and said, "Mom, there's no need for that. I'll do the work first and we'll talk about it later. It's not a big salary, just a meal at most."

"It costs money to treat people to a meal. I don't have any tickets, so you have to think of a way. We still have some money at home. How can you get things done without money? Xiaoxue, take it."

"Mom, no need. I have money. I'll remember how much it costs for this trip, and I'll pay it back after my eldest brother starts working. Our family is not well off, so it's better to keep some money in hand so that we can have a safe haven for anything." Zhao Xuelin said, holding Liu Jing's hand.

"Yes, Mom, this is what we promised Big Brother, so we should do it. When it's done, just treat us to a meal."

Seeing that both of them said so, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Zhigang nodded, and they chatted for a while. Zhao Xuelin urged her eldest brother to study hard, at least to understand some basic knowledge of junior high school, and then to enroll in night school after entering the factory so that he could learn more.

Before Zhao Yong could say anything, Wang Lan nodded quickly. The determination in her eyes made Zhao Yong know that they would have no good days in the future.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two stood up and said they wanted to go home. Liu Jing saw them off and Zhao Yong followed. He waited until the two got in the car before turning back to the house.

Jiang Feng was riding with Zhao Xuelin, and nothing was going on, so they rode slowly and leisurely. Zhao Xuelin hugged Jiang Feng's waist from behind, and it felt good to have someone to rely on.

After returning to the courtyard, Jiang Feng continued to chat and brag with the third uncle, and Zhao Xuelin went into the house. More than ten minutes later, Jiang Feng also came in, and the two sat in the house for a while.

Jiang Feng thought about it, then took Zhao Xuelin's hand and told her about the situation in the yard, which ones he could interact with and which ones he should stay away from, especially the deaf old lady in the backyard and the Yi and Jia families in the middle yard. Now Jiang Feng had no hope for the old lady, it had been so long, since she didn't want to divorce, so forget it.

After talking for a while, Zhao Xuelin went to fetch some water. The two of them washed and went to bed. After another round of tossing and turning, Jiang Feng simply wiped the sweat off his face and fell asleep with his arms around Zhao Xuelin.

Jiang Feng went to work as usual, entered the technical department, greeted a few people in the same department, thought about what his wife said last night, took out the documents from the drawer, flipped through them, and found the mechanical data of the clothing factory.

There aren't any machines in the bedding factory now, probably just to join in the fun. The tailors and packing are all done manually. Jiang Feng looked at the information about several sewing machines in the file and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But he also thought about it. Relying on manual labor is not efficient now. The highest manual efficiency was in the 1990s. It was only after the assembly line came out that manual efficiency was the highest. Jiang Feng had no choice but to think about whether to move this thing out. In fact, it is very simple, just a conveyor belt.

Jiang Feng thought for a moment, picked up the phone and called Director Yang, asking first: "Director, what's going on? Why did the clothing factory send over several sewing machine materials? Do you want to design a sewing machine?"

Hearing Jiang Feng's doubts, Director Yang was also stunned. He didn't even look at the information. Anyway, there were people in the factory, so he just left it to them to figure out. He said helplessly, "Then ignore them for now. We gave them the information about sewing machines. Are they going to change their career to make sewing machines?"

"That's not the case. I just thought about it. Most of the work in the clothing factory is done manually. If we can add some auxiliary machinery, we can greatly improve the efficiency of manual work. This is a good idea, but I want to go to their factory to take a look. Director, is it convenient for you?"

Director Yang was stunned. He was not here to complain. He turned around and thought, "Okay, if you want to go and have a look, go ahead. Oh, I was wondering if the pillow is leaking air."

"Hey, Director, this still needs to go through the official channels. Can you help me contact them and see if we can arrange a time to go over today?"

"Wait for notification." Director Yang said this and hung up the phone. He was still thinking, no wonder they were so active so early in the morning. The bedding factory was well-informed. Yesterday was just the first day of work after vacation, and they were immediately arranged. He picked up the microphone, shook the handle, waited for a while and said, "Please connect me to the Sijiucheng Bedding Factory."

I heard a few beeps from inside, and then a female voice came from inside: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"I'm Yang Guowei from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, looking for your factory manager."

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll transfer you right away."

I was waiting again, but after a while, a woman's voice came from the phone: "Director Yang, why are you free to call me today?"

"Sister, stop teasing me. Last time you brought some information here and said you wanted to make some improvements. The technical department has some ideas and would like to go to your factory to take a look."

"Welcome. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up anytime."

Director Yang looked at his watch and said, "Let's go to 9:30. I'll let him know and you can just go to the entrance of the machinery factory. Sister, let me tell you something. It shouldn't be to improve the machinery.

It may be to redesign a set of auxiliary machinery to improve labor efficiency. The person who came today was Chief Jiang from the Technical Department. If you have any requests, just ask directly. Isn’t his wife in your factory? "

"Okay, I see. I didn't expect Xiao Li to be so efficient. I'll praise her later."
