Chapter 261 Work Problems

The courtyard where Yuan Changqing's family is located has three courtyards, namely the front yard, the backyard, and the middle yard. There are a total of more than a dozen families living there.

This is like a large courtyard. In this day and age, if something happens to that family, the neighbors will be eager to help.

Therefore, neighbors are more responsible than relatives at this time. After all, visiting relatives now requires going to the street to get a certificate. In addition, every household now has no extra food.

Therefore, I rarely go to visit relatives. If I need help with something, I basically go to my neighbors. This is in line with the saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

Yuan Changqing's family lives on the left side of the front yard. There are two rooms with a total area of ​​60 square meters. One room is 35 square meters in size and is divided into a bedroom and living room. Yuan Dongfang and Jiang Fen live here.

Yuan Changqing's house is 25 square meters, plus a wing room, which is about 15 square meters. Yuan Dongfang transformed it into a utility room and kitchen.

Therefore, the area of ​​the house of Yuan Changqing's family of three is about 75 square meters, which may be comparable to Shazhu's house in this courtyard house.

After all, housing in this era was not that wealthy, and it was relatively rare for Yuan Changqing's home to have such a large area.

In this front yard, across from Yuan Changqing's house is the third uncle Yan Fugui's house. Their family is similar to Yuan Changqing's, except that they have six people.

Moreover, Yan Fugui is also one of the stewards of this third-level courtyard house. He is a Chinese teacher at Hongxing Primary School. He is stingy and often says, "If you don't have enough food, you won't have enough clothes, you won't be able to calculate." Suffer poverty.”

There are only six people in the third uncle's family now, and one of them has a job. It is understandable that he is so stingy. Maybe it is because he has such clear calculations that he will be plotted against himself in the future.

However, these are all things for later.

Of course, there must be more than just two families, Yuan Changqing and Yan Fugui, in the front yard.

The steward of the Central Court is named Yi Zhonghai. He is a first-level master and an eighth-level fitter. He is from a poor family. He has an apprentice named Jia Dongxu who also lives in the Central Court.

However, Jia Dongxu died not long ago due to a work-related injury, leaving only two widows and two young children in the family, as well as Qin Huairu, who still has a baby in her belly, which is almost six months old.

Originally, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai took Jia Dongxu as his apprentice just to support him in his old age, but things did not go as planned.

Now Yi Zhonghai has changed his goal again and turned Silly Zhu's spare tire into a regular one.

There are also two brothers in the middle courtyard, He Yuzhu and his younger sister He Yuzhu. The house they live in is also the largest in the middle courtyard.

Moreover, Shazhu also brought the so-called leftovers from the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill to Qin Huairu's family every day, and he began to have a tendency to lick dogs.

After entering the Moon Gate, there is the backyard. The second uncle Liu Haizhong lives in the backyard and is a seventh-level forger at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, is an official fan. Besides being incompetent, he still wants to be an official. His favorite thing is to beat the second and third children in the family.

In addition, there is Xu Damao in the backyard, who also works at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and is a projectionist who specializes in showing movies.

And the deaf old lady with the highest seniority in the courtyard is also in the backyard. She likes to rely on her elders, pretend to be deaf and act stupid, and favor stupid pillars.

There are more than a dozen families living in such a three-in-a-siheyuan, with a total population of about 100 people.

And those three uncles were specially selected to help the street mediate some conflicts and disputes between neighbors.

…

In the evening, as soon as Yuan Dongfang got home, he asked about Yuan Changqing's heatstroke. Because he was still working in the cafeteria, and he knew that Yuan Changqing was fine, he didn't come back.

"Changqing, are you okay now?" Yuan Dongfang asked.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said: "It's okay. After taking a nap this afternoon, I'm much better, but I'm still a little exhausted."

After Yuan Dongfang saw that Yuan Changqing was fine, he felt relieved and said: "It's fine as long as everything is fine. The weather is hot now and the temperature is high. Don't go out and wander around during the day. Take a good rest at home."

"Yeah, I understand, I'll pay attention." Yuan Changqing replied.

Later, Yuan Dongfang thought that Yuan Changqing had graduated from junior high school and had not been admitted to high school, so he could not stay at home all the time.

So, Yuan Dongfang said again: "Changqing, you have graduated and your job is not good now. How about I get you into the cafeteria of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and become an apprentice? When there is a quota in the future, You can also become a regular worker, what do you think?"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said: "Dad, if you didn't ask me, I was about to let you see if you could get me to work as an apprentice in the canteen!"

Yuan Dongfang was very happy to see that Yuan Changqing was willing to work in the canteen of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

After all, if you want to find a good job now, you must either have a college degree or graduate from a secondary school, and the state will directly assign jobs.

However, Yuan Changqing is only a junior high school student, and his academic performance is just like that. Otherwise, he would not be able to pass the high school entrance examination.

Yan Jiecheng, who lives in the third uncle's house in the front yard, has just graduated from junior high school like Yuan Changqing, and they are still classmates.

Now Yan Jiecheng has not found a job, so he can only look for temporary jobs outside.

Today's temporary jobs are also unstable, intermittent, and basically all manual labor.

Fortunately, Yuan Changqing's family is a dual-income family, and both parents are working. Therefore, after graduating from junior high school, Yuan Changqing did not work as a temporary worker like Yan Jiecheng.

Now Yuan Dongfang proposed to let himself work in the cafeteria, and Yuan Changqing took advantage of the situation and agreed.

After all, in this era, jobs are all on a first-come, first-served basis. When the city's population increases, it will be even more difficult to find a job.

"Okay, just wait at home for a few days. I'll talk to the canteen director first. You should be able to go to work in the canteen in a few days." Yuan Dongfang said again.

"good."

"It's time to eat." Jiang Fen shouted at this time.

Yuan Dongfang is usually the one who cooks at Yuan Changqing's house. After all, he is a chef, so the food he cooks will definitely be much more delicious than that of someone who is not a chef.

However, because of Yuan Changqing's heat stroke today, Jiang Fen took leave and came back to take care of Yuan Changqing. Therefore, today's meals were prepared in advance and waited for Yuan Dongfang's return.

Moreover, most people now only eat two meals a day, and some people in poor conditions only eat one meal a day.

Therefore, nowadays people are rarely fat, and they are basically skinny.

In the courtyard, only the first uncle, the second uncle, Xu Damao, Shazhu, and of course Yuan Changqing's family can eat three meals a day.

For example, there are only two people in the family of the first grandfather, and the first grandfather is an eighth-level bench worker with a monthly salary of 99 yuan. It is easy to have three meals.

Moreover, as an eighth-level fitter, the first man not only has a high salary and a high quota, but he also has no children. The first mother is also an urban population and has a high quota.

Therefore, the rations for the couple's family are enough to make their living standards much higher than most people.

The second uncle is a fan of officials and likes to compare. Seeing that the first uncle eats three meals a day, he naturally can't lose his momentum. In addition, he is a seventh-level blacksmith with a salary of 87, so he only eats three meals a day. Easy.

In the second uncle's house, the second uncle is just like the landowners in the past. All good things come from the second uncle first, and then the eldest son Liu Guangqi.

However, Liu Guangtian, the second eldest son, and Liu Guangfu, the third eldest son of the second uncle's family, do not have that kind of treatment and only have one meal a day.

Moreover, when the second uncle encountered something bad, he would really beat the two brothers to death, as if they were not his own sons.

That's why the deaf old lady who lives in the backyard said that "unkind parents will make unfilial children". In the end, it really came true. Even Liu Guangqi, the most favored eldest son, didn't care about the second uncle and his wife.

Next, let alone Silly Zhu. If you look at the era when cooks were hungry, Silly Zhu would often say, "If the cook doesn't steal, the grain will not be abundant."

Not to mention Xu Damao. In this era when there is not much entertainment, projectionists are very popular.

In addition to the screening tasks arranged by the factory, when he has nothing to do, Xu Damao will go to the commune near Sijiucheng to show movies. When he comes back, he will bring home a bagful of local specialties. From this, he knows that oil and water have how old are you.

Finally, it’s Yuan Changqing’s family. Yuan Dongfang is the cook, and Jiang Fen also has a job. The three members of the family are from urban areas, so naturally they won’t treat themselves badly in terms of food.

After dinner, Yuan Changqing's family also went to rest early. There are few entertainment activities now, and they eat less.

Therefore, in order to reduce consumption, most people are basically unwilling to go out for activities and go to rest early.

…

The next morning, Yuan Changqing got up early. Perhaps because he slept too much yesterday, he woke up early today.

After he left the room, he saw the third uncle opposite the door holding fishing tools.

"Good morning, Third Uncle. You're up so early. It seems you're going to go fishing!" Yuan Changqing greeted.

When the third uncle heard this, he looked over and said, "It's Changqing. I heard that you had heatstroke yesterday. How are you? Are you okay?"

"Thank you, Third Uncle, for your concern. I'm fine now. I'll be fine after a night's rest." Yuan Changqing replied.

The third uncle nodded and said: "That's good. I see, the weather is so hot now, you young people should stop running around outside. If you get heat stroke like you and there is no one around, it will be dangerous. ”

Yuan Changqing smiled and said: "The third uncle is right, I will stay at home these days and don't plan to go out."

The third uncle said again: "Don't stay at home all the time. When you have time, go out for a walk and get some fresh air. When you have nothing to do, you can do the same as me and go fishing and enjoy the wind by the river. You will definitely not get heatstroke." .”

Yuan Changqing nodded and said: "Then I won't worry about the third uncle going fishing. I wish you a successful fishing today."

"Oh, forget it, I know you young people won't listen, so I'll go catch my fish." The third uncle said shaking his head.

However, Yuan Changqing thought at this time that if I were to be based on my mental age, I would be your grandfather.
