The phone hung up and rang again within five minutes.
Switch grabbed the phone and said "hello", and a middle-aged man's voice on the other side asked: "Comrade Switch?"
"it's me."
"My surname is Xiao, and I have recently been recruiting people for Tianyang Yeyuan. I heard that you majored in computer applications? Are you interested in changing your job?"
Xiao Jinlang on the phone explained the treatment conditions again.
Schweic was still hesitant and hesitantly said: "The research institute where I am staying is a confidential unit. If I want to be seconded, I have to worry about multiple approvals. The institute may not release me yet. Am I myself..."
"I'm just asking you if you want to come to Tianyang?" Xiao Jinlang interrupted and asked, "If you want to, I will take care of the rest.
It’s nothing more than spending money. I’ll give your superiors a sum of foreign currency as secondment fee, and you won’t have to worry about job transfers or anything else.”
Sweat broke out on Schweic's forehead, and he said tactfully: "Is it really that simple? That's good. Okay, I will obey the organization's arrangements."
Xiao Jinlang responded and asked: "Do you have any other talented people? Introduce one to me, and I will give you two hundred yuan as an introduction fee after the deal is completed."
Hey... why is this a head-turning introduction?
When he heard the inquiry, Schweic's mind was still spinning. But when he heard 'two hundred dollars', his thinking became more alert and more vigilant, "Introduction fee? What kind of capable person do you want?"
"Machinery, electronics, chemicals, medicine, or if you think you have the ability and want to move to another job, you can talk to me.
You don’t have to be afraid, this is a formal secondment. I am also in the system myself. I understand the rules and will coordinate with your superiors."
After listening to Xiao Jinlang's encouragement, Shiwei was quite moved. However, he still kept in mind the 'confidentiality regulations' and did not dare to speak casually about the personnel affairs within his unit.
After saying the last word, "Wait for the news," the phone was hung up again.
Hearing the beeping sound coming from the microphone, Schweic just came back to his senses as if he had woken up from a dream. He was a little lost and stood outside the communication room for a long time, without any clue, and then ran to the director's office to explain the situation.
The director, Kuasvich, had a strong awareness of "anti-special" and advanced thinking, which was worthy of praise. He was dismissed with just a few words. He didn't come back to his senses until he got off work.
The factories and mines in Shangougou are not very big. Outside the office building is the family area. Cinder roads run through everywhere. The residences are red brick tube buildings with one side of the water. The living environment is quite simple.
Schweic returned home. His wife, who was also from the institute, had also just gotten off work. The child went to school in a nearby town and came back with a schoolbag on his back.
Seeing a family, he scratched his head, pushed up his glasses, and said, "Someone called me today and said they wanted to second me."
The lover and the children were silent. One was busy cooking, the other was busy doing homework, both waiting for Lao Shi to continue talking.
Schweic continued: "They said that as long as I nodded, I would be transferred immediately. The new job will pay one thousand a month, and I can take care of my family and work, and my children can go to school. As long as I work for three years, I will be assigned a room."
The lover and the child finally raised their heads and took one more look at their husband/father. They both felt that there was something wrong with Lao Shi's brain today - you, a poor coolie who writes code, do you deserve a monthly salary of one thousand?
The first time I spoke, no one in my family believed me.
Washing rice, washing vegetables and cooking. A family of three sitting at the dining table.
Tonight there was fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots. When Schweich picked up a few more chopsticks, his lover glared at him and then pulled the whole dish into his son's bowl.
Lao Shi was so bored that he could only take a few mouthfuls of rice and swallow it with some soup.
There are few products in the valley, and there is nothing you can buy in the towns near the Jiangbei Factory. The life of the mountain people is even harder, and they have to eat dried sweet potatoes with their rice bowls.
Even in ten or twenty years, the third tier will be poverty-stricken areas.
Schweic's home is also simple. The living room serves as the dining room. A square table is covered with plastic sheeting, and a yellow light bulb hangs from the ceiling to illuminate half of the room.
There are few furnishings in the house, and most of them were made by ourselves using leftover materials from the factory.
After dinner, Schweic took the initiative to wash the dishes. He grabbed a loofah sac and talked about the day's events while washing it.
"Someone really called me today and said that as long as I agree, I will be seconded to a place called Tianyang. Do you know Tianyang?"
My lover wiped the dining table clean and was helping his children with their homework. He said without raising his head, "I don't know what Tianyang is. I just need you to be transferred to Guiyang when. I don't ask for anything else."
Schweic could only wash the dishes obediently.
At seven o'clock, it's dark.
There were no entertainment activities at night. After the children finished their homework, the family of three went out for a walk to eat.
After walking half a circle around the cinderblock road in the family area, Schweic couldn't help but say: "My classmate from Shanghai Magic City introduced me.
The contact person’s surname was Xiao, and he seemed a bit capable. He said that as long as I nodded, I wouldn’t have to worry about the rest.”
The cinder road was dark and there were no street lights. Only a dim light bulb hanging at the door of the family area could be seen from a distance.
There are lush vegetation in the ravine, and there are a lot of mosquitoes. The children are running around, and the lover is chasing away the mosquitoes above his head.
Still no one paid attention to what Schweich said. My wife and children were not even interested in responding because they had heard too much 'good news' in the past, and every time the 'good news' turned into no news.
At half past eight, the whole family washed up and got ready for bed.
Shiwei still lives in the one-bedroom-one-living room assigned by the factory when she got married. When the children grow up, they can only set up a small bed in the living room. The bed was welded by a master from Lao Shi's Hospital out of scrap iron. It is quite strong.
It just doesn't look good.
The children clamored to watch TV before going to bed, but the signal in the ravine was not good, and all the channels received were snowflakes.
The child was stunned and watched a TV series because of the blurry picture, because the TV speakers were full of noise, so it could only be watched as a pantomime.
At nine o'clock, my lover turned off the TV and put the child to bed.
Lao Shi washed his feet and repeated his old words, "I'm serious, someone did say that they want to second me. Even if a monthly salary of one thousand is too exaggerated, five hundred would be fine.
They also asked me to introduce others to be seconded together. I was afraid that I would meet someone with unknown origins, so I didn’t dare to say anything. But the man named Xiao promised that as long as my introducer is seconded, he will pay an introduction fee of 200 yuan."
Speaking of this, Lao Shi suddenly came back to his senses and whispered: "Two hundred yuan for the introduction fee? Could it be that my classmate in Shanghai sold me as a piglet?"
His lover was finally happy, "You are so stupid, you deserve to be sold as a piglet. If you are successfully seconded, introduce me to me and make two hundred yuan in vain."
I’m not any worse than you. You can earn one thousand a month, don’t I get two thousand?”
Lao Shi and his lover were high school classmates and fell in love in college. One studied computing applications and the other studied medicine.
He came to suffer in the valleys of Guizhou. His wife did not hesitate to apply for a transfer to go to the place where the motherland needed her most, so she followed him into the valleys that could not be found on the map.
From youth to middle age, they had been together for more than ten years. Before the age of fifty, both of them had gray hair. Turning off the lights and lying on the bed, Lao Shi sighed, "I know today's news is a bit unbelievable, so
I've been sorry to you for all these years."
In the darkness, my lover cursed softly from the pillow, and soon I heard her intermittent voice, "Lao Shi, you haven't sorry for me, I came here voluntarily. But I feel sorry for my parents and my mother."
The couple both sighed, enduring the hard life like this.
