Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

Your job position can be replaced by an immediate family member.

I have consulted Director Zhao, and he said that your spouse is currently unemployed, so he can take over your job. He can be a fitter in a workshop, or he can choose other positions in the workshop! "

Hearing the factory director's words, Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment. In fact, he was not opposed to continuing to work, but he didn't want to see his beautiful and virtuous wife go out to work.

"Director, apart from jobs like cleaning or sweeping, I really don't have any other suitable jobs to choose from?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"There is no other choice!" Factory Director Yang replied. Actually, there are relatively easy and respectable jobs like warehouse management. But everyone is vying for good positions, and there are no vacancies left in the factory for ordinary employees with no power or connections like Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu had to ask: "Director, can I consider this matter and discuss it with my family?"

"Of course you can. There's no need to make a hasty decision. Once you've thought it over, just report the situation to Director Zhao." Director Yang responded generously.

"Thank you, Director. I will give you feedback as soon as possible." Jia Dongxu nodded and was about to leave.

At this time, Director Yang stopped Jia Dongxu and asked, "Jia Dongxu, as far as I know, you and Chief Engineer Lu live in the same yard, right? How long have you known each other?"

Jia Dongxu replied: "We did live in the same courtyard, but he was not often there, so I didn't have a close relationship with him."

Director Yang waved his hand slightly to signal Jia Dongxu to leave: "I understand, thank you for your hard work!"

Jia Dongxu left the factory office building and scratched his head in confusion: "It's really strange, why would Director Yang suddenly ask this?" However, he didn't know that this question and answer would cause him to miss the opportunity to be a warehouse manager. If Jia Dongxu could show that he had a close relationship with Lu Weimin, perhaps Director Yang would give him this easier job opportunity for the sake of face.

Back in the workshop, Jia Dongxu repeated the factory director's words to his colleague Yi Zhonghai, and asked him to give guidance on the current situation. After a moment's thought, Yi Zhonghai put forward his own opinion:

"Personally, I think it's meaningless and hopeless to continue doing menial manual labor in this factory. In contrast, it would be more appropriate to let your wife Qin Huairu take over your position. As a fitter, I am willing to teach her the basic skills. You can focus on things at home, such as cooking and raising children! Of course, this is just a suggestion, and the final decision still needs to be negotiated between the couple."

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu began to think seriously. He thought that it would be a good solution to let his wife work and earn money for him while he stayed at home to take care of the children. But he was a little reluctant to let his wife work hard. Despite his inner struggle, he also knew that there were no other feasible options.

With a lot of thoughts in mind, Jia Dongxu returned to his courtyard that night and told his wife Qin Huairu about the situation in detail. Qin Huairu was also confused by this proposal. According to her traditional point of view, women should focus on the family and take care of their husbands and children. If there is a chance, who would not want to stay at home comfortably. But the reality is ruthless and cold: once you give up this opportunity, your husband may have to do menial and hard work or even disabled work in the future, such as a lifelong cleaner. Not only will the reputation of the profession be unbearable, but the salary level will also be greatly limited, and it is likely that even making a living will become a problem. So, in the middle of the night that day, Qin Huairu was still tossing and turning in bed and unable to fall asleep, constantly thinking about work matters and potential safety risks in her mind, especially the lingering worry about snake attacks.

The next morning, Qin Huairu made the final decision. "Dongxu, give up your position to me! I will go to work and earn money to support our family. You stay at home to take care of the kids, cook, and take care of the family!" She firmly expressed this idea to Jia Dongxu.

Finally, after listening to the advice of many people including the deaf old lady, the couple made the same decision - Qin Huairu took up the job and became the new pillar of the family. They went to the factory together to report the matter, taking a new step.

The workers who met on the road saw Jia Dongxu's wife Qin Huairu for the first time. Seeing such a beautiful Qin Huairu, everyone was surprised and jealous.

Especially since Jia Dongxu lost one hand, this seems even more mismatched for him.

Jia Dongxu noticed that there was a mixture of admiration and dissatisfaction in his colleagues' eyes, and he felt mixed emotions.

Then he took Qin Huairu to the first production workshop.

Swish it!

Almost instantly, everyone's attention in the workshop focused on the two people who walked in, especially Qin Huairu, which triggered whispers and discussions among everyone.

"Who is this beauty?"

"She is Jia Dongxu's wife!"

"Oh my, Jia Dongxu's wife is so beautiful!"

“He’s so lucky!”

"I don't know how he got so lucky that he could bring his wife to the factory? How strange!"

With doubts, Jia Dongxu found Director Zhao of the workshop to introduce Qin Huairu.

Director Zhao glanced at the young woman, his eyes revealing surprise and admiration.

Jia Zhang (Jia Dongxu's mother) explained flatteringly: "Hello, Director Zhao, this is my daughter-in-law Qin Huairu. I have decided to let her take over my position in the workshop. Director Zhao, please take good care of me in the future!"

Director Zhao replied with a smile: "No problem! No problem!" Then, Jia Dongxu helped Qin Huairu complete the transfer procedures. An hour later, all the steps were completed.

Starting tomorrow, Qin Huairu will officially start working.

When Jia Dongxu and his wife walked out of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, they could not help but feel a surge of emotions. After today, he will no longer be a member of this factory.

This thought made him sad, and he couldn't help but look back at the familiar factory building many times.

"Let's go!" After a while, Jia Dongxu held his wife's hand and walked forward, and their figures gradually moved away from the Red Star Steel Mill.

When the couple returned home, the news quickly spread around - Jia Dongxu had transferred his job to Qin Huairu, and he himself no longer went to work. The neighbors were talking about this:

"After Jia Dongxu becomes disabled, his wife can take over his position. This way, at least there is a source of income to support the family!"

"The current policy is really good. Family members can replace each other. If it was in the past ** enterprise, once you get disabled, you will have no job!"

"You're right, we should all be grateful for the times we live in now!"

The next morning, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu got up early. Even Jia Dongxu, who didn't need to go to work,
