The county must hold a meeting to make a decision, a process that Zhang Guoquan hates the most, and this matter is not a trivial matter. It can be imagined that it will take a long time to make the decision.

But he had no choice but to wait. Such a big matter was not something that his little assistant could decide.

If workers receive pensions after retirement, this can be regarded as an iron rice bowl.

While working, they can also receive various welfare guarantees from the mine. Not to mention this, the "iron rice bowl" alone is enough for workers to stay in the mine.

Spring has begun. Zhang Guoquan took off his thick coat and put on a spring shirt. He went to the county to attend five meetings in total.

The wheat seedlings are growing like crazy. Standing on the ground and watching, there are children flying kites with strings, running wildly in the wheat field.

When the kite hangs high in the sky and turns into a black dot, seemingly disappearing, you will find that the child is also missing.

They all lay down in the wheat field. At this time, the wheat seedlings were not afraid of being crushed. The tall wheat seedlings directly hid the children in their arms.

The coolness of the wheat seedlings makes the child feel comfortable, and the presence of the child cannot be detected from the outside.

Beyond the land of Yangjiazhuang, there is a large wheat field.

It was an early day to get off work, and the sky was getting longer. The sun hung red in the west, with only half of my head exposed.

Widow Ma was riding a large bicycle on a narrow field road.

Suddenly, she was thrown into the wheat field by a man. Then, the man grabbed her clothes and dragged her deep into the wheat field.

Widow Ma just exclaimed, and then she felt relieved when she saw it was Zhou Sheng.

Lying in the wheat field, the wind blows through the wheat tops.

With a "stab" sound, the floral lining she was wearing was torn open.

Underneath the body are overwhelming wheat seedlings, and the exposed skin feels cool against the wheat seedlings. You can smell the fragrance of the wheat seedlings, see the afterimage of the wind blowing the wheat tops, and hear Zhou Sheng's low roar.

When Zhou Sheng scolded her, she would giggle, and the wind would carry her laughter far away.

Qingshan used to call her a bad person, but now Zhou Sheng also calls her a bad person.

Yes, she knew she was dead because she fell in love with Wu Dashen.

"I'm dead, and you still want me?" Widow Ma asked in a soul-like voice.

She was lying in the wheat field, the sky was dim, and the sky seemed to be soaked in a thick layer of dark blue ink, which was really beautiful.

Viewed from this angle, the entire sky looks like a porcelain bowl at home turned upside down.

Zhou Sheng just paused and continued: "During this period, Zhang Guoquan's prestige... was suddenly established in the mine. When I become... deputy mine director, just wait... and enjoy the blessings."

Widow Ma stretched herself: "Guoquan has always had prestige, and it's not something someone like you can see."

Zhou Sheng felt angry: "Who am I? Honestly, are you having an affair with Zhang Guoquan? You are a bad person."

Widow Ma just laughed: "I would like to have an affair with him, but people don't look down on a rotten bitch like me."

Zhou Sheng stood up and pulled up his trousers without hesitation. He didn't like what Widow Ma said. Zhang Guoquan didn't like it, but he was more enthusiastic. Then he was the same and a bad person?

"No more?" Widow Ma asked casually while getting dressed.

Zhou Sheng didn't say anything, turned around and left.

"It's time to give money." Widow Ma had already dressed, stood up, and stretched out her hands.

Zhou Sheng stopped but did not turn around, muttering: "Next time."

Widow Ma stopped talking, went to the town, bought a bottle of wine, some food and wine, and then returned to her husband's Qingshan Villa.

Qingshan ate and drank happily, and he didn't care about Widow Ma's torn lining.

Some time ago, he took Widow Ma to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that Widow Ma had taken a lot of contraceptive drugs and her body had been damaged. He didn't understand hormones or ovulation. In short, she couldn't have a child.

When she came back from the hospital, to her surprise, Qingshan didn't hit her. He just said, "I will rely on you to support me from now on. Otherwise, I will never see my child again in this life."

Under Zhou Sheng's instruction, she went to see Wu Da Scar. Only twice did she compromise with Wu Da Scar.

Wu Dashen patted his chest and promised that the child's matter would be left in his hands and she would find it for sure.

Yes, she compromised just twice. Compared with Zhang Guoquan's five meetings in the county, the two times she persisted were too short.

Sometimes, on a night when the spring breeze was blowing, when she compared "twice" and "five times", she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

People like Zhang Guoquan were in the sky, and she was in the abyss. Only with the gleam of light could she gaze at Zhang Guoquan, who was so high above.

She knew that she and Zhang Guoquan were no longer on the same page. The money she paid back to Zhang Guoquan was given by Wu Dashen.

However, she did not say that the money was given by Wu Dashen, otherwise Zhang Guoquan would not have asked for it. She continued to lie and said that it was the wages of her husband Qingshan from working in a small coal kiln.

She has lost count of how many times she lied to Zhang Guoquan.

Being able to get close to a rich man like Wu Dashen was all thanks to Zhou Sheng's contribution.

Zhou Sheng had not originally planned to take her to see Wu Dashen, and she had no plans to go. Just when she and Zhou Sheng were hooking up and often communicating in secret, Zhang Guoquan came back from the county that day and was very happy.

You have never seen him so happy since arriving at the mine.

Zhang Guoquan announced a major resolution. As long as all workers working in the mine are old enough, the mine will not ignore them after they retire. They will also receive the pension from the mine, which will be paid until the worker dies of old age.

.

Regarding the various subsequent benefits, Mine Manager Su is also trying his best to fight for it. Everyone has to wait patiently. This requires a process. Please trust the mine and the county.

Wait a minute, the pension alone is an iron rice bowl. You won’t be able to work in the future. The mine will pay you the same salary, although it is less, but you get it without having to work.

The mine has guaranteed their life in old age, so what are they waiting for?

The remaining workers were glad to have stayed, but the workers who left were very regretful. The wages for working in small coal mines were a bit too much, and they had to pay for it with their lives. Besides, small coal mines are very tiring and hard, and they seem to use up all their strength every day.

You can work as a coolie for a few years. When you can no longer work, the small coal mines will naturally kick you away, and there will be more young men with strength.

For the rest of the day, we can only farm. I heard that Yangjiazhuang is likely to collapse in the future, and by then, we won’t even be able to plant crops.

It can be said that the mine can have this kind of guarantee, which gives everyone a reassurance that the big guys are willing to contribute to the mine.

The coal under the mine is still being dug. As long as the mine is in good condition, it may not be a problem for several generations to dig it.

With the iron rice bowl, the entrance to the mine became lively. Everyone came to apply for workers and wanted to hold on to the iron rice bowl.

There were a lot of people coming, including villagers from other villages, and the local villagers in Yangjiazhuang were squeezed in at the back, but the villagers in Yangjiazhuang were not willing to crowd with those from other villages.

"Squeeze, even if you push to the front, the mine won't want you."

"Then why not? The mine is short of workers."

"Hey, you think you can get the turn of people from other villages. No matter how short of workers you are, there must be a number. Our Yangjiazhuang will have no one."

"What happened to someone? It's not the same."

"That's different. Do you know who is in charge of the mine? It's Assistant Zhang Guoquan from our village who is in charge. We are from the same village as him. Do you think those from other villages have a chance?"

The villagers of Yangjiazhuang will naturally think that the mine will definitely be used by Yangjiazhuang locals, and that Zhang Guoquan belongs to Yangjiazhuang.

Not only was the mine crowded with people, but the canteen at Yangjiazhuang East was also crowded with people, all of whom came to Zhang Guoquan to ask for a quota.

The mine has regulations. Including the existing workers, the mine can only recruit 85 more people. If there are more people, the mine will not be able to bear it with its current strength.

Even Zhang Guoquan did not expect that since the announcement of that resolution, the problem of employing workers was automatically solved.

Seeing so many workers applying for the job, it completely exceeded the number of workers expected to be recruited.

Therefore, being able to become a worker in the Yangjiazhuang Coal Mining Area has become a valuable position.

As for Zhang Guoquan, he could only hide at home after work and could not go out. Everyone came to ask him for a quota.

Zhang Guoquan is an assistant at the mine, and the villagers all know that he has the final say in the mine. If he wants to arrange for someone to go in, it's just a matter of words.

When asking for help, don't go to Zhang Guoquan empty-handed, carrying gifts in large and small packages.

Zhang Guoquan had never seen such a posture before, and they were all villagers, fellow villagers, who would bow their heads and not look up every day. Some of them were elders, so he simply chose to avoid seeing them.
