Li Donglai frowned, tied his bicycle under the eaves, stared at Jia Zhang and said slowly: "It does happen, but what does this have to do with you?"
What does the recruitment of porters in the steel rolling mill have to do with Jia Zhang?
Even if we take a step back, the Jia family lives in poverty and wants to find some work.
But she, Jia Zhang, can’t do such heavy work!
Of course it is impossible for Mrs. Jia Zhang to work as a porter. She has never exerted any effort since she was young, and it is even more impossible now.
However, she can sell her recruitment quota to people!
Life in rural areas is difficult these days, and many people want to find work in the city.
Jia Zhang inquired and found out that the new workshop of the steel rolling mill offered porters a monthly salary of twenty-four and five yuan, the same as first-level workers.
This salary is not considered low, that is to say, the work in the steel rolling mill is heavy, and first-level workers can get such a high salary, but workers like some small workers cannot get such a high salary.
It's really a crime to let those stupid people take so much money!
Jia Zhang has already thought about it. There are many idle villagers in Jiajiagou. A salary of ten yuan per person per day can make them smile from ear to ear. She can definitely put in the remaining fourteen yuan.
In your own bag.
Ms. Jia Zhang raised her eyebrows and her triangular eyes squinted: "Of course it does matter. You are now the master of the courtyard and you have to take care of the residents in our courtyard, right?"
"Yes, that's right, but care has its limits. If you don't have food or water at home, you have to work hard.
Look at Zhou Sheng in our compound. He has five children. His wife has been paralyzed in bed for many years, and he has a blind old woman. He works as a worker in a lumber factory and his monthly salary is only thirty-two yuan. Logically speaking,
Said the money was not enough to live on.
But he is very diligent. He goes to the train station every day before dawn to unload coal. If he unloads a ton of coal, the station will give him 20 cents.
They also took jobs from the street office, and in the evening the whole family went to the lake to drink Matchbox.
Although it's hard work, if you look at other people's homes now, they're not rich, but they can't be said to be in poverty either!
Li Donglai knew that Jia Zhang was definitely up to no good, so he naturally had to shut her mouth first.
At this time, Zhou Sheng also came back from get off work and happened to pass by. After hearing this, he didn't feel a trace of embarrassment. Instead, he puffed up his chest proudly.
There is nothing to be embarrassed about if your family is poor, as long as you work hard!
Jia Zhang's face turned red and thick-necked by the rebuke, and he hesitated for a long time. Finally, he stopped pretending and resorted to his old weapon--Sarpo.
"Li Donglai, you can't see that our family is living well, right? I heard that there are a total of twenty-five porters, and I don't want them all, so just give me twenty. Don't worry, I'll find them for you.
The porters are all strong and strong."
"Aunt Jia, are you kidding me? To tell you the truth, I have already found a porter, so I won't bother you."
After saying that, Li Donglai turned around and entered the house without looking at Jia Zhang.
If you say one more word to such a messy person, you will lose.
....
Mrs. Jia Zhang froze in the cold wind for a long time, gritting her teeth so hard that they made a "clucking" sound.
She didn't think her request just now was unreasonable.
After all, the porter's quota is given to everyone, why not to the Jia family!
Life is so difficult for the Jia family. If you don't help, will you be able to sleep at night?
The more Ms. Jia Zhang thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she became, the more she thought. According to her temper, she would have blocked the door and cursed people.
But thinking about the losses she suffered at the hands of Li Donglai several times before, she felt a little timid.
"Bah" spat, Jia Zhang's big eyes rolled around, and he soon thought of a good idea.
She twisted her butt and came to Yi Zhonghai's house.
Since Yi Zhonghai was deposed as the First Master, he rarely appeared in the compound.
In the past, he wandered around the compound with his hands behind his back every day. Now, apart from going to work, he just stays at home every day.
Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang coming over, the aunt subconsciously wanted to close the door.
"Hey, sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Jia Zhang was the kind of shameless person. She stretched out her hand to hold the door frame, "I'm looking for the uncle."
The eldest mother said angrily: "We don't have a eldest son in our family!"
"Then I'll find Yi Zhonghai."
Mrs. Jia Zhang had something on her mind and was too lazy to argue with her aunt, so she squeezed into the house.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Zhang coming in, he pinched his brows in annoyance. In the past month, the Jia family had lost their source of income. As long as they had no money, they would ask him for it. Although he had special channels to get money, it would be useless if he continued like this.
It's not a problem.
"Aunt Jia, I've even advanced next month's salary, and I really have no money."
Yi Zhonghai subconsciously pretended to be poor. Jia Zhang curled his lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lao Yi, I'm not asking you to borrow money this time. I'm here to tell you a great thing, something that will allow you to reinstate your official position."
A great thing."
"Oh, is there such a good thing?" Yi Zhonghai looked puzzled.
Mrs. Jia Zhang sat down on the chair, picked up the candy on the table and stuffed it into her mouth: "Can I still lie to you? Maybe you don't know, right? Li Donglai is now helping to recruit porters for the new workshop of the steel rolling mill."
"I heard that the new workshop wanted to transfer people from our first workshop a while ago, but no one was willing to go." Yi Zhonghai raised his eyebrows and said.
A trace of malice flashed in Jia Zhang's triangle eyes: "I heard that the porters Li Donglai hired this time are all from Qinjiagou. Do you think he is using his power for personal gain?"
Yi Zhonghai Mou Ran widened his eyes and asked excitedly: "Is your news accurate?"
"Of course! You have forgotten that my daughter-in-law is from Qinjiagou." Jia Zhang sneered. She knew very well that what Yi Zhonghai hated most now was Li Donglai. This old guy would not give up anyone who could bring down Li Donglai.
Chance.
This time she was right. Ever since Yi Zhonghai was ousted, life has been very miserable.
The residents who used to smile and greet him enthusiastically now see him as if they were a stranger, without even saying hello.
This was unacceptable to Yi Zhonghai, who had long felt he was admired by others.
What made him even more angry was that Silly Zhu, the pensioner he had trained for more than ten years, was actually killed by Li Donglai with Yu Juhua.
Yu Juhua is very tough, and now Silly Zhu avoids Yi Zhonghai when he encounters her.
Yi Zhonghai wanted to call Sha Zhu to stop and chat for a while several times, and wanted to take the opportunity to win Sha Zhu back again, but Sha Zhu ran like a rabbit.
Abusing power for personal gain is a big crime. Even if Li Donglai cannot be brought down, his reputation can still be ruined.
Let him not be the master of the courtyard!
Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment, nodded heavily, and said: "We still need to plan this matter carefully, and we may need your help when the time comes."
"I can help! Are you..." Jia Zhang stopped mid-sentence, staring at the piece of pork hanging on the wall, with a smile on her lips.
That piece of meat weighed a full two kilograms, and this damn old woman really had a big appetite.
However, in order to deal with Li Donglai, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to endure it, stood up, took off the meat, walked to the kitchen and cut it in half with a knife.
He took the half with the rope and handed it to Jia Zhang: "Sister-in-law, take it home and let the children taste it."
"How stingy!" Ms. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes. She was about to tremble a few words, but out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of the eldest mother watching eagerly next to her, so she could only take the meat, twist her butt and leave Yi Zhonghai's house.
Before leaving, she did not forget to leave a message: "This doesn't count!"
Auntie watched Jia Zhang's figure disappear into the Crescent Gate, closed the door, turned around and came to Yi Zhonghai.
"Old man, you can't go on like this. The Jia family is a bottomless pit. Even if you get a lot of money from the deaf old lady, it will always be filled up."
Yi Zhonghai also knew this and sighed: "You think I'm a fool? It's just that Qin Huairu hasn't given birth yet. When she gives birth to the child, the Jia family has no money. We can totally contribute a sum of money to let Qin Huairu
Ru gave the child to us. You and I are only over 50 years old now. Even if we raise the child, he will still be less than 70 years old. We can definitely let the child live with us till the end of his life.
After experiencing what happened with Jia Xudong and Silly Zhu, I finally understand that it is really difficult to ask others to support you in your old age if you are not related by blood."
After saying that, he looked calm and looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang: "As long as you can give me a son and a half in these years, I don't have to do this."
The aunt who was originally angry about Qin Huairu's pregnancy suddenly felt guilty when she heard this.
He hesitated and said: "I, I, I can't control you, but Li Donglai is not easy to deal with. You must be careful."
Yi Zhonghai crossed his legs and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "No matter how difficult it is to deal with, as long as it is confirmed that he is using power for personal gain, even Sun Wukong will not be able to find the palm of the Tathagata Buddha."
.....
In Qinjiagou in the early morning, the sun is still climbing hard, the mist has not dispersed, and the small village is silent.
However, the silence was soon broken by the ringing of a bell.
Qin Sanmin pinched his waist and shouted at the top of his voice: "Those who go to work in the city hurry up and cook. We will meet at the entrance of the village at 7 o'clock!"
Suddenly, the entire village returned to the real world from a heavily made-up ink painting, smoke and birds rose, and the air of the small village was filled with the smell of fireworks.
Knowing that they were going to the city, the commune members were very active. They poured sweet potato porridge into their stomachs and slapped each of their children on the buttocks.
"My boss is not at home, so be honest and help your mother do more work. When my boss gets paid, I will buy you sweets."
When it comes to wages, the members' backs are straight. They have never been so happy.
Ever since her mother-in-law learned that the men were going to work as workers in the city, she changed her past indifference and served them as if they were emperors.
The workers in the city are so nice!
....
The members of the commune soon gathered together, all carrying baggage containing black crotch bags, quilts, a change of clothes, etc.
This is the experience passed down to them by the senior livestock herders. Even drinking water in the city costs money, so everything must be prepared.
Qin Sanmin's eyes slid over their faces one by one, he pinched his waist and shouted: "Today, you will represent our Qinjiagou Commune to work in the steel rolling mill. When you get there, each of you should be more active.
, who dares not to work hard, give me a pick, smear the face of Qinjiagou Commune, and embarrass Donglai, let’s see what I do to him soon!”
"That can't be done!" the members shouted in unison.
Just kidding, it’s so easy to come across such an opportunity. The mother-in-law and children at home are all looking forward to it. Who dares to cheat!
"Time is tight, so I won't say much more, let's go!"
Qin Sanmin waved his hand and pointed to several ox carts parked on the roadside: "In order to take you into the city, I borrowed a few cars from the commune next door. Now get on board!"
While the commune members were rushing towards the bullock cart, Qin Sanmin pulled Qin Fen to the side, and slapped Qin Fen's shoulder with a hand as big as a cattail leaf fan: "Shit boy, you are a minor in the commune.
Captain, when you enter the city this time, you have to take care of all these goods."
"It makes, it makes!" Qin Fen nodded heavily.
Qin Sanmin looked around and asked: "When you arrive at the steel rolling mill, whose words should you listen to the most?"
"I will listen to whoever is in charge!" Qin Fen was a little confused.
"Pah!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the head. The pain made him grin: "Uncle Sanmin, why are you hitting people!"
"I'll beat you up!" Qin Sanmin grabbed his collar, stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "You kid, remember it clearly. When you get to the steel rolling mill, you should listen to Dong Lai's words.
, he asked you to go east, if you dare to go west, be careful when you come back, I will break your legs."
"....why?"
"You are really ignorant, you only know how to use a hoe, right? There are so many communes in the suburbs of the capital, and many of them are poorer than us. Why did the steel rolling mill choose our commune as the target of assistance and let you go to the city to make money? Isn't that right?
Dong Lai is here to help. People, you can’t do those heartless things.”
Qin Fen understood and nodded heavily: "Uncle Sanmin, don't worry, even if Brother Donglai asks me to jump into the manure pit, if I, Qin Fen, blink my eyes, then I will be a coward."
Qin Sanmin was very satisfied with his attitude and patted his shoulder happily: "No more words, let's go."
"Deerjia"
The handlebars were struck with a whip, and the ox cart started slowly, gradually disappearing into the early morning mist amid the sound of "creeping, creaking, creaking."
"My Healing Game"
They took away the hearts of those women and brought back the hope of Qinjiagou.
Even Qin Fen, who has a lot of experience, has only been to the pigeon market in the capital a few times to sell things, and has never entered the city in broad daylight.
Smooth cement floor, blue brick wall, oh, why are there so many bicycles on the street.
Everything in the city made Qin Fen and the members feel novel and frightened at the same time.
Five bullock carts formed a long queue and soon attracted the attention of the man wearing a white uniform with a big brim.
While passing by an intersection, a man with a big brimmed hat stepped forward and saluted towards the handlebars.
"Comrade, where do you come from?"
Qin Fen, who was sitting in the car behind, remembered Qin Sanmin's instructions, jumped out of the car and ran over quickly.
He took out several letters of introduction from his pocket: "Comrade Traffic Police, we are members of Qinjiagou Commune. This time we are here to support the steel rolling mill. We are here to help the big brother, the worker. This is a letter of introduction."
Big-brim Hat was speechless for a moment when he read the letter of introduction. Logically speaking, bullock carts were not allowed to enter the city.
However, rural commune members are here to provide support, and letting people walk is not the same thing.
"Okay, you go quickly, but be sure to clean up the cow dung on the way."
"Don't worry, this thing is a good thing. If you hand it over to the commune, you will get a few points for the work." A man raised the half basket of cow dung in his hand with a proud expression.
In the village, you can only get a little bit of cow dung by robbing.
