"That's not true! You can't afford to be rich and be poor, and you can't risk your life! Think on the bright side, at least we can leave Inner Mongolia and go home first! Think about those people who stay there, who are still blowing the wind every day
Bai Maofeng, smelling of cow dung, not seeing anyone for twenty-nine days a month, is still living the same life as "Su Wu". Is it worse than us? And when they come back, the situation may be even worse.
To be honest, when I saw the police stamping the last stamp on me and handing me the household registration card, I felt like kneeling down to him..."
"Yes, I was wrong! In order to go home, I drank!"
The four people at the table all drank heavily. A glass of wine lit up the bottom of the glass.
Perhaps it was stimulated by this glass of wine, and Bian Jiangong's solid state sprouted, just like in Inner Mongolia, and he couldn't help but sing loudly out of habit.
"Hunte is MZX, Hunte is MZX, Tabule is full of peace, Linzhule is very resistant to Ulanal..." (Dear MZX, dear MZX, you are the red sun in our hearts...
…)
The tune that was originally quite beautiful was actually bleak and distant when he sang it. After he finished howling, he smiled unnaturally with his big mouth and raised his neck to drink another drink.
"It's fun to laugh. After spending a long time with those old men, I also like to get excited. I love to sing when I get excited. It's true, women cry when they're sad, and men sing when they're sad..."
But unexpectedly, it was because of this song that "Xiao Cui" brought them a bottle of Erguotou after bringing "osmanthus pork" and "sweet and sour pork" to the table. He said that Master Lu's youngest sister was also in Inner Mongolia.
It was a gift from the master.
"Xiao Cui" came to Master Lu a little later and told him to let the brothers drink and sing beautifully without caring about others. Anyone who dares to have an opinion should just let him play.
For this reason, these boys couldn't help but drink a cup of wine and thank the master collectively.
If Master Lu is like this, let alone Hong Yanwu. Because of his second brother Hong Yanwen, he can also understand the pain of Bian Jiangong and Su Jin's generation of educated youth.
Starting in 1968 and ending in 1978, for ten years, nearly 20 million young people rushed towards the horizon of the motherland with yearning and passion.
Although they are said to be educated youths, in fact they have not attended school seriously for a few days. However, they have devoted the most precious years of their lives and made "unprecedented" sacrifices, but they have achieved very few achievements.
Hong Yanwu's second brother worked hard in Yanbei for seven years, and he was almost exhausted. But Yanbei still looked the same.
And this is considered a good thing. For example, Bian Jiangong and Su Jin worked for eight years, but the final result was not only an ineffective work, but also an unprecedented destruction of the ecological environment of the grassland!
How fucked up is this! The harder you work, the more you commit a serious crime against the grassland!
And when this group movement no longer had any cohesion, these people turned around and poured back into the city like beggars.
They had to fight desperately and use all their means to compete for the few chances of survival with their brothers and sisters who had shared weal and woe together.
How miserable it is for the weak to kill each other.
Even if they are lucky winners, their generation is still a disadvantaged group in the workplace due to their low educational level, lack of skills, and age. Increasing wages, starting a family, and sharing houses have all become difficult problems.
And just after they had worked hard to solve some of these problems, the economic era entered again, and the ensuing "wave of layoffs" happened to catch up with them at an older age and younger ones...
Someone once specially summarized the life trajectory of this generation. He said that when they need to eat, they catch up with natural disasters. When they want to study, they make movements and imitate Dazhai. When they want to work, they rush out of the city. Finally, they return to the city.
, I was assigned a job, either working in the sun or selling vegetables. I talked about a partner, but the salary was 300 bucks and no one loved me. I finally got promoted. Without a diploma, who are you? You worked hard and worked hard. You graduated from a junior college, and you have wrinkles all over your face.
Get up and wait until you are in the prime of life. All the factories will be auctioned off. Let’s live out our old age peacefully, with welfare housing and no medical care. Let’s walk around the streets, sweat it out, and it’s only 400 yuan a month.
So no matter how you look at it, this is a generation that is extremely unlucky. Good things cannot catch up, but bad things catch up. They pass away without any mistakes. This kind of life can only be described as "step by step".
As for individuals, if Hong Yanwu had not intervened this time, Bian Jiangong and Su Jin's original fate would have been far worse than now.
In the past history, they survived for two more years, and it was not until 1981 and 1983 that they returned to the capital.
Bian Jiangong, who came back first, worked as an unemployed youth for two years, selling vegetables and working as a hotel cleaner. Later, he changed his job several times and joined a nearby leather factory. But with hard work, he just became a workshop director and a factory manager.
It fell down.
Not to mention, not long after Bian Jiangong was laid off, he happened to catch up with the 1998 Hong Yan armed demolition of the house in the east courtyard of Fululi.
At that time, in order to facilitate the demolition, Hong Yanwu introduced Bian Jiangong to a job as a security manager in a hotel with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan on the basis of relatively low economic compensation, and tricked him into signing the agreement. He was removed from this "nail house".
As a result, as soon as the house was demolished, the other side of the hotel no longer had any scruples and let Bian Jiangong go. Hong Yanwu had greatly deceived his old neighbor.
Later, Bian Jiangong had no choice but to buy a second-hand car and make a living by recruiting hackers. This situation lasted until he could afford his retirement allowance.
When Su Jin came back later, his situation was even more difficult.
Although he didn't work as a pedicurist when he returned to the city, he was assigned to the cleaning team and worked as a garbage man. Every night from ten o'clock at night to five in the morning, he had to follow the garbage trucks and empty the already full trash cans all over the city. The smell...
Even more amazing than feet.
Later, "Tailor Su" tried his best to ask for help, and finally got Su Jin into the "Kun Opera Troupe", where he was responsible for opening the curtain for the troupe.
Unfortunately, an accident occurred just six months after starting work. Su Jin's right hand was accidentally hit by a headlight that fell on the stage and broke the tendon. He lost a "disability certificate" and became a disabled person.
Unexpectedly, after 2000, Hong Yanwu unexpectedly saw Su Jin on TV.
At that time, the TV was broadcasting a program introducing folk art. Only then did Hong Yanwu know that Su Jin had been working with his father and worked hard to practice the clothing making skills with his left hand.
Later, gradually, sons inherited their father's business. As soon as Tailor Su retired, and as the clothing market became increasingly segmented, Su Jin started doing business with some high-end custom clothing stores.
In the end, he became famous for using gold thread to embroider a dress for a domestic female star to appear at the Cannes Film Festival, and was regarded as a contemporary embroidery master.
It's a pity that although the disability of his right hand did not affect Su Jin's career, it caused him to remain single.
Although he can be regarded as a rare outstanding person among his generation, the regrets and inferiority complex caused by his physical disability cannot be compensated by material things.
But now it's better. Now that Hong Yanwu has intervened, he has the plan to help people to the end and send Buddha to the west.
To be honest, in order to make up for the bad things they have done, for the friendship between the neighbors in the street for so many years, and for the Bian family, the Su family has been kind and tolerant in continuously helping the Hong family in the difficult years.
Hong Yanwu had to do his best for Bian Jiangong and Su Jin's future. What's more, he has this ability now?
So when the dishes were on the table, Hong Yanwu started to mention this matter.
This was also his original intention for today's treat. He expressed his willingness to help Bian Jiangong and Su Jin think of a way to see if they could find satisfactory jobs in exchange for them.
This is of course a good thing. Neither Bian Jiangong nor Su Jin would disagree. But the question is, can it really be done?
Hong Yanwu saw that they didn't believe it, so he said, "Brothers, I know what you think. It's a problem that our aunts can't solve. Can I solve it? What's more, Quanzi and I are also temporary workers and haven't made any arrangements ourselves.
Okay, saying I can help you is a bit bragging."
"But you have to look at this matter from both sides. First, Aunt Bian is very popular. But she is too principled. As an older generation, you should act upright and sit upright. In today's social atmosphere, relying only on favors and face is unacceptable.
. People have to look for affordable things, and when it comes to this, I’m afraid no one in our street can compare to me.”
"Secondly, Quanzi and I are in different situations than you. First, we are working two jobs. With this in mind, it will be several times more difficult for you to go anywhere than it is for you. Even if you go, it will be a waste. It will be even harder to upgrade in the future.
In addition, we don’t want to be restricted. So, our affairs and your affairs are completely different things. Of course, I won’t guarantee it until it is done. Now I just want to ask you about your ideal destination...
…”
After saying this, Bian Jiangong and Su Jin both understood. They had already seen the power of the back door, and they really had a lot of hope. However, this was obviously a huge favor, so how could you be so embarrassed?
Woolen cloth?
Hong Yanwu really got a little angry and got angry again.
"Hey, you two should just be happy. Otherwise, I'll worry about you. Look, now that I'm offering to help, you're all blushing. If you have to come to your door to ask for help, you'll be so embarrassed! Don't even think about that.
Duo, I really want to repay the favor. When you all get along well, will there be no chance?"
Well. In this case, Su Jin spoke first. He had no other ideas, he just wanted to be a tailor.
Yes, this kid has been following such a father since he was a child, and he didn’t even play boy’s games. He sat at home every day, sewing dolls and making clothes for the dolls for Su Xiu and Hong Yanru. For this, he was even called "" by the bad boys in the alley.
Big girl".
It can be seen that these genes and talents are always working.
Then it was Bian Jiangong's turn, but he hesitated.
One moment I want to be an industrial worker, with good benefits and labor insurance. Another moment I want to learn a craft and be a cook to enjoy my life. Another moment I want to work in a movie theater so that I can watch movies for free. Another moment I want to be a security officer with prestige...
Su Jin couldn't help but scold him. "You are so greedy! You want all the good things. How can such a thing happen in the world! Besides, you think Xiao Wu is the district chief. One sentence makes you want to go."
Where are you going..."
These words made everyone burst into laughter. Even Bian Jiangong himself said, "Isn't it just chatting? I can't think about it by myself! I'm dreaming about marrying a wife in broad daylight..."
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu finally said, "The requirements for meritorious service, in my summary, are to be affordable, prestigious, and preferably to learn a craft. Not to mention, there is really a profession that can meet all his requirements. However, I have a concern. You guys
I have stayed in Inner Mongolia for too long. From now on when I go to work, can you not drink this wine, Jiangong?"
Bian Jiangong's eyes lit up. "Ah? You're not confused by me, are you? If you really want it to be like what you said, I'd really like to talk to you and stop drinking..."
