People in the yard came back from get off work one after another. When they got home, they changed their clothes and immediately came over to have a meal.
This time we did not hire special pipes for the banquet. Instead, each household moved out its own Eight Immortals table, and the four tables were combined into one big table.
There were three tables in the middle courtyard and three tables in the backyard. There were no less than fifteen people sitting at each table, and some even had twenty people sitting at some tables.
There is no way to accommodate more than 20 households and over 100 people in one courtyard. Even the elderly and children are invited to come, so we can only squeeze in.
As the host family this time, Shazhu's family and Yang Jun's family sat at a table. There were a total of seventeen people sitting at their table. Even Ran Qiuye's parents also sat at this table.
Before the banquet begins.
The second uncle delivered a passionate speech.
He chatted for a long time. He first expressed his blessings to Yang Liu and He Yuyu for their honorable enlistment in the army, and then gave a long speech of encouragement. The two little girls were also invited to the front to say a few words.
It was the first time for these two little girls to be the protagonists, and they were very shy. It took only one sentence from you and one sentence from me to write a 200-word speech.
The third uncle also wanted them to perform an impromptu talent show, but Yang Jun interfered.
So much nonsense.
If you don't eat anymore, you will get cold.
Silly Zhu stood up and shouted, and everyone started to cook with an "ouch" sound.
The food is not very sumptuous, but it is large in quantity.
There are basically no dishes on the table to serve the dishes, they are all served in large bowls.
Sha Zhu and Ma Hua were too busy cooking the dishes alone, so they all changed to stews.
The stew is more practical for people with large courtyards. Not only is it delicious, but the soup is so watery that it can be eaten with steamed buns.
The meal took more than an hour to finish.
The men squatted together in twos and threes, chatting and spanking, while the women were busy clearing away the tables, chairs and benches.
Yang Jun was invited to the Intermediate Courtyard by the second uncle and others, and everyone asked him about recruitment news in the steelmaking plant.
Since the suspension of classes, many students have been idle at home. There are about ten children as old as Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and Yan Jiefang. They are all eagerly waiting for the steelmaking plant to be built and can use their connections to go to work.
"Young and old gentlemen, listen to what I have to say."
Yang Jun had a headache from the noise, so he raised his hands slightly and pressed them down to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone knows that I am just the deputy director of the factory. I can't make the decision on many things, especially for a unit like the steelmaking plant. The recruitment of workers is centralized from above, and there are certain restrictions on the recruitment conditions. The steelmaking plant
After the construction is completed, 5,000 employees will be transferred from the steel rolling mill. If anyone wants to work in the steel mill, I can help transfer you there, but I really can't make the decision on the recruitment of workers."
According to the preliminary plan, the steel mill is preparing to recruit workers. First, 5,000 people will be transferred from the steel rolling mill, and then the remaining 7,000 places will be recruited from the whole society.
7,000 places may seem like a lot, but in order to take care of employment in various places, the higher authorities will distribute these places evenly to various places.
These job quotas are decentralized layer by layer. Each county only has a maximum of five quotas, and these five quotas are not available to ordinary people. Those with some status and background will fight for them.
Therefore, it is simply not the case for children from ordinary families.
There are more than a dozen people of working age in the compound, and Yang Jun simply cannot arrange so many positions. Besides, if you help one family, you will offend that family, so Yang Jun simply won't help anyone.
It doesn't matter if you rely on my connections or spend money to buy it, just don't look for me.
Besides, there is no way this kind of thing can be said publicly.
If you really have this intention, you can just go to him privately.
"Junzi, didn't we have an agreement before? I..." The third uncle became anxious upon hearing this and immediately spoke up.
The third uncle had approached Yang Jun before, hoping that Yang Jun would help find a job for Yan Jiefang. At that time, the third uncle wanted to buy a job with 300 yuan, but Yang Jun refused.
Yang Jun raised his hand and interrupted: "Third uncle, plans are changing quickly. Now that classes are suspended, don't you see how many unemployed young people are waiting to join the factory?"
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, turned red, and his hands were trembling in anxiety.
When everyone heard this, they were all downcast.
Yang Jun is right. Children's classes have been suspended, and thousands of young people of school age are unemployed at home. This is a typical situation where there is too much food and too little food. It is definitely impossible to arrange for so many people to enter the factory at once.
At this time, they were a little envious of Silly Zhu.
Anyone who is not a fool knows that He Yuyu can join the army because of Yang Jun's help. Many people would break their heads to get into such a good unit as the Art Troupe. Without Yang Jun's help, he would have been a fool for the rest of his life.
Don't even think about finding a way out.
Yang Jun was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be affected by their emotions.
It just so happened that at this time, Yi Qiushui, Ma Xiangxiu and the others were about to go back, and Yang Jun took the opportunity to escape.
Early the next morning.
Yang Jun and Yin Qiushui did not go to work in the factory, but went directly back to their old house.
Today is the day when Yang Liu and He Yuyu enlisted in the army. Their family had a good meal early and waited at home for the people from the street office to pick them up.
The yard was full of people, and they were all neighbors from the surrounding courtyards. Those who were familiar with each other all came over to congratulate the two girls and give the two girls a ride.
Yang Liu and He Yuyu were wearing new military uniforms, with a big red flower on their chests, showing off everywhere with joy on their faces.
The military uniform was sent to me by the street office a few days ago, so I kept it for today.
At nine o'clock, people from the street office will come to pick them up and send them away with drums and gongs.
Watching the time getting closer and closer, the faces of the two girls became more and more serious.
Yang Liu hugged Wang Yuying and kept crying.
This is my first time away from home. I don’t know when I will come back, and I still feel reluctant to leave.
This emotion also affected everyone. A few aunts with shallow eye sockets secretly wiped away tears.
When He Yuyu saw Yangliu crying so sadly, her eyes were red, and she wanted to find a shoulder to lean on, but when she saw Si Zhu's cheerful look, she curled her lips and turned around to go back to her room.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Liu hugged Yang Mei and cried for a while, and then told Yang Laosi in a serious voice that he must be obedient at home and not be naughty.
In order to save Yang Liu's face, Yang Laosi agreed in person, but in the blink of an eye he was running around the yard with a bunch of brats.
Yang Liu held Yang Huai in her arms again and wiped his nose with a handkerchief.
Yang Huaigen was not ungrateful and kept struggling in her arms. In a blink of an eye, he went to eat melon seeds.
Yang Liu walked up to Yang Jun, his mouth opened and closed slightly several times, and his eyes were red.
Yang Jun smiled and walked over.
"Why are you crying? You're not married anymore. If you miss home, just write a letter, or I'll go see you when I have time."
Yang Jun wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at her with doting eyes.
"elder brother……"
Hearing this, Yang Liu couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Yang Jun and cried loudly.
Yang Jun patted her shoulder gently and said, "Today is a happy day. You must go out happily later. Do you understand?"
"Well...I'll cry for a while longer."
At this time, Shazhu ran over.
"Junzi, hurry up, they are coming."
When Yang Jun heard this, he immediately said to Yang Liu.
"Liu'er, wash your face quickly."
Then he said in a low voice: "You will be happy to go out later, don't let mom look uncomfortable, got it?"
"I know, brother." Yang Liu nodded heavily.
A few minutes later, Yang Jun carried his luggage bag and took Yang Liu's hand to wait at the gate of the compound.
At this time, Silly Zhu kept smiling on his face and happily showed off to the people in the yard.
Almost everyone in the courtyard came out.
Two of the cutest people came out of the yard, and they all came over to give them a ride.
The closer they are to separation, the more tightly they hold on to their loved ones.
Yang Liu seemed to have forgotten what Yang Jun had just told her, and tears flowed down her arms while holding Wang Yuying.
He Yuyu, for the first time, hugged Silhu and cried bitterly.
"Yu Yu, when you join the army, work hard. We won't cause trouble and we won't be afraid of it. If someone bullies you, send me a message and I will go and kill him."
Silly Zhu solemnly patted his chest and promised.
Yang Jun was speechless.
You're like you, and you still want to exploit others?
However, he didn't want to break the warmth between his brother and sister.
At this time, there was a sound of gongs and drums in the distance.
Two military jeeps drove slowly forward, followed by people playing gongs and drums.
The car stopped at the entrance of the compound, and Wang Yuying and Qian Jiajia got out of the car.
"Brother-in-law, I'm here to pick up the troops in person, aren't you very excited?"
Qian Jiajia smiled and hugged Yi Qiushui's arm and said playfully.
Yang Jun rolled his eyes at her, turned back and pointed at Yang Liu and He Yugong,
"I leave our two sisters to you, you have to take good care of me."
"It depends on your performance. If you can ask me to go to Lao Mo for a meal every month, I can consider it." Qian Jiajia tilted her head, rolled her eyes, and immediately made an offer.
"If you want to eat Western food, come to your sister anytime. I don't have time to accompany you." Yang Jun said angrily.
"Stingy guy." Qian Jiajia stuck out her tongue.
At this time, Wang Yuying held Wang Xuemei's hand and kept telling her to take good care of Yangliu.
Wang Xuemei and Uncle Qian are old acquaintances, and she will take care of everything without Wang Yuying having to explain.
Besides, isn't there Qian Jiajia? With her here, can the two little girls still be wronged?
Wang Xuemei saw that everyone was almost done talking, so she said,
"It's getting late, hurry up and get in the car. We have to go to the next house to pick up the troops, so we can't delay for too long."
When Yang Liu and He Yuyu heard this, they burst into tears. They turned back three times and reluctantly got into the car.
Yang Jun personally carried her luggage bag into the car and patted the luggage bag aisle.
"You have two hundred dollars in your bag that my brother left for you. Remember to keep it."
Yang Liuhong nodded and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry about me, just take care of your family."
Yang Jun's eyes turned red, he stroked her head with his palm and choked,
"Don't worry, my brother is taking care of me at home. If you encounter any difficulties, just ask Sister Qian for help. She will definitely help you."
Yang Jun looked at He Yuyu who was sitting next to him and said: "Yuyu, you two grew up together, went to school together, and now you are enlisting in the army together. Remember to take care of each other. If you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, go to Sister Qian.
,Do you understand?"
"I understand, Brother Junzi." He Yuyu responded with red eyes and nodded.
"Yes, listen to your Brother Junzi. If you have any problems, go to Sister Qian. If she can't solve it, write a letter and tell me..." Silly Zhu agreed beside him.
Yang Jun was afraid that this guy would say something inappropriate again, so he quickly closed the car door and pulled Silly Zhu aside.
Looking at the two people in the car, everyone waved goodbye.
The two girls looked out the window with tears in their eyes, staring at the familiar figures that were getting farther and farther away and were about to pass away.
