As the sun sets in the west, the courtyard that has been silent all day becomes lively again.
The women are cooking at home and the children are doing homework.
After a tiring day, the workers gathered in the middle courtyard to chat.
In this era, many families cannot even afford radio boxes, so this is a way for them to obtain information.
"Hey, have you heard? The poverty alleviation workshop of our steel rolling mill is going to expand in size."
"Today the Logistics Department organized a dozen trucks to transport construction materials, and there was a lot of noise. But what does this have to do with us?"
"Oh, we will definitely need to recruit workers for the expansion of the workshop. I heard that this time the poverty alleviation workshop will recruit 800 temporary workers."
"You said that with so many places, there are many poor families in our compound, so we will definitely be able to get some."
When the workers talked about this, their eyes lit up.
They have heard that although workers in poverty alleviation workshops are temporary workers, their pay is no worse than that of regular workers.
I get thirty yuan a month and can eat in the cafeteria at noon.
and.
The work is easy and even lesbians can do it.
That is to say, they are reluctant to give up their status as formal workers, otherwise they really want to work in poverty alleviation workshops.
If the old woman and daughter-in-law at home are allowed to work in the workshop, life will definitely be much more comfortable.
Residents who met the conditions were excited when they heard the news.
Those who don't meet the conditions can only watch with greed.
They all know the temperament of Li Weidong, director of the poverty alleviation workshop.
but.
One person is an exception.
She is Qin Huairu.
Based on her deep relationship with Li Weidong, as long as she works hard at night and uses all her tricks, she will definitely get a spot.
Qin Huairu is very confident in her skills and appearance.
Especially this time, she spent a lot of money to buy two pieces of cloth from the pigeon market and made two beautiful clothes.
only.
Who should be allowed to work as a temporary worker in the poverty alleviation workshop?
Banggen, Xiaohuahua and Xiaodang are too young and do not meet the regulations.
It can only be the Jia Zhang family.
Thinking of the Jia Zhang family, Qin Huairu became extremely angry.
Ever since Jia and Zhang moved into the Yan family, they have been a little bit happy to miss Shu.
It stands to reason that if Mrs. Jia and Zhang were not at Jia's house to cause trouble for her, it would be too late for her to be happy.
However, Mrs. Jia and Zhang now sit in front of Yan’s house every day to collect shoe soles.
The Yan family lives in the front yard, and the entrance of the Yan family is the traffic artery of the courtyard.
Residents coming and going, seeing this scene, will inevitably feel that Qin Huairu is not respectful to the elderly.
Although Jia Zhang has done so many evil things and even eloped with others, she is Jia Dongxu's mother and a great grandmother after all.
Now Qin Huairu does not support the Jia Zhang family, but abandons her in the Yan family, which is too much.
The residents gossiped a lot behind Qin Huairu's back.
Qin Huairu didn't care about these rumors before.
If you can exchange steamed buns with the workers, can you be afraid of other people's rumors?
However, she is now the boss of the courtyard and the team leader of the workshop. She may be able to get promotion opportunities in the future.
In this era, the first condition for promotion is to have a good reputation.
If a person has ideological problems, no matter how capable he is, he cannot be placed in an important position.
Before promotion, interviews are required.
If you have a bad reputation, you have no chance of being shortlisted.
After Qin Huairu realized this problem, she also thought about remedying it, but she never had a good chance.
Now the opportunity has come.
If Jia Zhang can be employed as a temporary worker, Qin Huairu can achieve a win-win situation.
First, you can gain a good reputation.
Secondly, the Jia family can earn more than thirty yuan a month.
Qin Huairu made up his mind to discuss it with Li Weidong that evening.
After dinner, under dim light.
Qin Huairu was dressing up in the mirror, looking at the missing woman in the mirror, and sighed in her heart.
If it were before, she wouldn't have to use cream at all, and her skin would be white and tender.
Time really makes people grow old.
Qin Jingru put away the dishes and chopsticks, and saw Qin Huairu sitting in front of the mirror, wiping her hands, walking over, and said with a smile: "Sister, you look so good, are you going to find Li Weidong?"
"Qin Jingru, what do you mean by this!"
Qin Huairu's face drooped, "Don't forget who brought you out of the countryside and who pulled the string for you!"
"I'm just talking, do you need such a big reaction?" Qin Jingru shrank her neck in fright, turned around and hid in the house.
She looked at the dim white paper light bulb, curled her lips and said to herself: "We agreed a while ago that no one is allowed to secretly go to Li Weidong in the future. It has only been a few days, but you have changed your mind! Cousin,
In this case, don't blame me, Qin Jingru, for not respecting sisterhood."
Qin Jingru now works in a poverty alleviation workshop, so she can naturally get the first-come-first-served advantage.
Qin Huairu didn't expect that her impromptu move would create a gap between Qin Jingru and her.
Entering the next cubicle, I saw Banggan, Xiaodang, and Xiaohuahua doing homework.
She warned: "You three stay at home and be honest, while Mom goes out to do some errands."
Finished.
Qin Huairu turned around and left Jia's house, walking into the darkness.
Coincidentally, Yu Li was a little worried about Yu Haitang. She was staying at her parents' house tonight, and Li Weidong was the only one at home.
Seeing Qin Huairu standing under the orange light, Li Weidong was stunned for a moment.
It's not that he was surprised by Qin Huairu's appearance.
But Qin Huairu is dressed particularly differently today.
Today she is wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket and tight-fitting black cotton pants. She has a very voluptuous figure and charming eyes.
What surprised Li Weidong even more was that she actually wore double ponytails.
Oh, this woman.
It really shouldn’t be underestimated.
Qin Huairu stretched her head and took a look inside the house. She didn't see Yu Li, and she was immediately relieved.
He pursed his lips and smiled: "Comrade Weidong, the second uncle has been busy promoting fire prevention work these days, and he must not be able to take care of things at home. In the spirit of caring for the residents of the courtyard, I, the first uncle, went out to help Comrade Yu Li do some things.
housework."
"."
Good guy, I haven’t seen you for a few days. Qin Huairu’s skills have improved and he talks in one way or another.
Li Weidong looked up at the residents walking not far away and nodded: "Come in."
Just as the door closed, Qin Huairu suddenly rushed forward and saved Li Weidong's neck.
"I miss you so much, brother Wei Dong, I miss you so much."
After a period of rapid and heavy breathing, the two finally separated.
Qin Huairu was panting. She hadn't seen Li Weidong since she reached an agreement with Qin Jingru. She was so worried that she couldn't hold it back for a while.
Li Weidong quickly turned around and locked the door. When he came back, Qin Huairu had already closed the curtains.
There were only two people in the room at this time. Qin Huairu couldn't help but tremble anymore and rushed forward.
"Give me."
Half an hour later.
Qin Huairu took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, took out one, held it in both hands and lit it for Li Weidong.
She snuggled up next to Li Weidong and lay down again. After relaxing for a while, she rubbed Li Weidong's chest with her fingers and whispered: "Brother Weidong, my sister is in trouble this time. You must help her."
Hearing this, Li Weidong felt relieved.
Compared with simple monetary transactions, investing in emotions is much more troublesome.
Now he is not short of money. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Moreover.
Li Weidong suddenly remembered that since he had given Qin Huairu money several times before, it seemed that he had always paid in vain.
Li Weidong took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled a cloud of white mist: "What's going on?"
"Recently, the poverty alleviation workshop is recruiting temporary workers. I, I want a quota."
Qin Huairu was a little unsure. Seeing Li Weidong frown slightly, he quickly explained: "It's not for me, it's for my in-laws, Jia Zhang."
".Is there any difference?" Li Weidong was surprised,
"It's a big deal!" Qin Huairu sat up and explained: "In my family, I can get a salary every month, so I am not considered a poor household. But Jia Zhang's family is different. She is divorced from the rag collector.
, the household registration has not been transferred back, so in a sense, she is a member of our Jia family."
This woman is so smart.
The requirement for recruiting temporary workers in poverty alleviation workshops is that they must be from poor households.
Since Qin Huairu can receive a salary of nearly thirty yuan per month, the Jia family is not considered a poor household.
But after Jia Zhang married someone else, she transferred her household registration.
Although the two are divorced now, they broke up due to unhappiness.
The household registration has not yet been returned to the Jia family.
She is an old woman with no income, so she can naturally be considered a poor household.
Li Weidong couldn't help but pull at it twice, and couldn't help but smile:
"Sister Qin, I find that you are getting smarter and smarter.
I can make the decision on this matter. As long as Jia Zhang is willing, she can work in the poverty alleviation workshop."
There was a hidden smile on his lips.
Ms. Jia Zhang is happy now, how can she be a temporary worker?
Qin Huairu is afraid that this time he will steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Qin Huairu was pulled so hard that she looked shy and blushed. She grabbed Li Weidong's hand and said, "Stop making trouble. Isn't it enough to torment me just now?"
After a while, she turned around and couldn't help but said: "Have you rested yet?"
Li Weidong smiled, threw away the cigarette butt, and rushed towards him: "Hey."
The next day.
Qin Huairu limped to the kitchen to serve the dishes, but Banggeng saw her.
Banggeng asked curiously: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Huairu's face turned red and she had no way to explain it.
Qin Jingru, who was sitting at the table eating, curled her lips: "Your mother went up last night to steal meat and eat it!"
"Stealing meat? Mom, why don't you bring me some meat?" Banggan swallowed.
Qin Huairu:
The boss didn't care about her injury, but was thinking about eating meat, which reminded Qin Huairu of Li Weidong's words.
If BangGeng continues to indulge, he may turn into a white-eyed wolf in the future.
Qin Huairu glared at Qin Jingru fiercely, then turned to look at Banggeng: "Jia Geng, did you take the exam yesterday and how many points did you get?"
"98 points!" BangGeng said confidently.
"98 points?" Qin Huairu looked suspicious. Banggan's score was only at the bottom of the class. How could he get such a high score this time?
Qin Huairu said coldly: "Where is the paper!"
"Here." Banggan calmly took out a test paper from his canvas bag and handed it to Qin Huairu.
On the top of the test paper, the number 98 written in red pen looks particularly bright.
Qin Huairu instantly became happy: "It's really 98 points. BangGeng. You've been really attentive. Mom will prepare delicious food for you tonight."
"I want to eat meat!" Bangge jumped up excitedly.
Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, mother will buy you meat!"
Qin Huairu washed the dishes and hurried to Yan's house in the front yard before she had time to send the sticks out.
Seeing Qin Huairu's figure disappearing behind the Crescent Gate, Banggeng ran into the back room and gave a thumbs up to Qin Jingru who was sitting in front of the mirror getting dressed: "Auntie, your method is really amazing. My mother didn't see that at all.
I drew the scores myself. Every time I cheated, my mother would find out."
"Of course, you just need to follow my instructions and score less than 10 points every time, and then draw a 9 with a red pen in front of the score. Your mother will definitely not be able to see it."
Qin Jingru felt happy that Gang Banggong had deceived Qin Huairu.
Who asked you, Qin Huairu, to steal a man from me?
You really think that I, Qin Jingru, are stupid. You brought me to the capital because you thought I was stupid and easy to control.
These days, I have learned a lot from Niu Meng in the poverty alleviation workshop!
Qin Huairu didn't know that Banggeng was drawn at 98 minutes, but she was in a great mood at this time.
With such good grades, Bangge will definitely be admitted to high school and university in the future, and his future will be bright.
And Jia Zhang entered the poverty alleviation workshop, and she could earn more than 30 yuan a month.
If you really work hard, your life will become sweeter day by day.
Qin Huairu knocked on Yan's door with a smile on her face.
Yan Bugui had classes in the morning and had already gone to work. Only the three aunts and Jia Zhang were left in the house.
When the third aunt saw Qin Huairu, she quickly stood up and invited her into the house.
"Huairu, you came here this time to invite Mr. Jia Zhang back?"
Since Yan Bugui is obsessed with money, the only way to destroy the cooperation between the two is to send Jia and Zhang back to the Jia family.
Avoid disasters.
Of course, she just asked subconsciously, after all, everyone knew that Qin Huairu hated Jia Zhang family the most.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu actually nodded: "Yes, I am here to invite Banggeng's grandma to come home this time."
As soon as these words came out, not only the three aunts were shocked, but even Mrs. Jia Zhang poked her head out of the bowl of the sea.
She wiped the corn grits from the corner of her mouth and looked at Qin Huairu in disbelief: "Huairu, have you figured it out? Are you finally going to take me home?"
"Yes, these days, I am also reflecting on myself. No matter how bad you are, you are still a great grandma. It is really inappropriate for me to kick you out."
Qin Huairu endured the discomfort and smiled: "So, starting from today, you can return to Jia's house."
Hearing this, Jia Zhang was completely relieved.
Although I lived very comfortably in the Yan family, I could open my mouth when food came and stretched out my hands when clothes came, and I didn't even need to wash my clothes.
but.
After all, this is not her own home.
"Go home, I want to go home now." Jia Zhang stood up and wanted to pack her luggage.
The third aunt had already taken the lead and took out Jia Zhang's package.
"Sister-in-law, I will send you home."
While the third aunt was talking, she was carrying the package and heading out.
But he was stopped by Qin Huairu.
"Wait a minute, before Bangge's grandma comes home, I have a small request."
