Chapter 71 The battle for quota
“He must be busy preparing the bride price. He said that it is ready at the third bell and the first bell. When his mother comes from the provincial capital, he will come to our house to make a decision.”
"What the hell is coming?" Liu Xiao'e looked at Lin Wei in surprise.
Lin Wei: "Well, July is not suitable for getting engaged. His mother should have chosen a date and set it on the eighth day of August. We should be more prepared then and we can't neglect our mother."
< br>When Liu Xiao'e learned the specific date, the stone hanging in her heart fell to the ground. She nodded, naturally she couldn't neglect it when her in-laws came.
The four children in the family gathered around Lin Guang asking for candies. Seeing this, Liu Xiao'e stood up and snatched the paper bag from Lin Guang's hand, grabbed two handfuls from it and put them on the table, and put the rest into the cabinet in the back room. How could you waste something as good as toffee? You will be entertaining guests in the future.
The brothers finished eating a large bowl of noodles and were almost soaked to the skin. Lin Dashan, who went to the village for a walk, came back and saw his two sons returning home with smiles on their faces.
Seeing that the head of the family was back, Lin Wei asked: "Dad, where is the third child?"
Lin Dashan walked to the recliner, lay down on it, and snorted: "He After work in the morning, I caught two fish with Baoguo and the others and had a dinner together in Baoguo. I am eating right now and will come back when I finish eating. Don’t worry about him.”
Lin Wei nodded, glanced at his family, thought for a while, and then told everyone what Xu Ming told him about recruiting workers: "Five hundred yuan is too much, we wanted to do it at that time. Rejected, but Brother Jiu told us not to refuse in a hurry. Let’s discuss it after we come back.”
Liu Xiao'e slapped her thigh excitedly: "Recruiting workers is a good thing. As long as the money is available, you can become a regular worker. As long as you go to work, you are not afraid of being fired by the unit without reason."
Lin Shu knew about this hydropower station in the city in later generations, but she Don't know She said that this power station was built during this period, "I also think this is a good thing."
She knew that this power station would stand for decades to come, and it was a municipal-level institution. The power station was still producing electricity when she died.
Lin Dashan took out the cigarette pack containing the cut tobacco from his pocket, took out a rectangular piece of cigarette paper, tore off a piece, took out some cut tobacco and rolled it up. After the cigarette was lit, he took a few puffs. He then spoke:
“This opportunity is rare, Brother Jiu, isn’t it? I couldn't bear to miss such a good opportunity, so I let you go home to discuss. Now that you have a temporary job, the conditions at home are definitely better than before. You can grit your teeth and come up with five hundred yuan, but you can only scrape it together. Five hundred yuan, I can’t get a second share.”
Lin Dashan looked at his two sons and said in a heavy voice: "It's because dad is incompetent. Such a good opportunity is in front of him, but he can't help you all seize it."
He Caiyun and Lu Yinhua, sisters-in-law. They all clenched their fists nervously. Formal work is too tempting for people of this era.
Since the family can only scrape together one piece of money, both of them hope that this rare opportunity will fall on their own man.
It’s just that men and women think differently.
Lin Guang spoke first: "Dad, the eldest brother is the eldest son in the family, let him take this job."
When Lin Wei heard this, he shook his head without thinking: "Thank you, second brother, for your humility. Dad, I already have a temporary job, which is enough for me to support my family. You should leave this opportunity to the third child.
< br>He has been pampered by us since he was a child. He cannot bear the hardship of farming, so we might as well let him Go be a worker. At least from now on, you and mom won’t have to worry about him not being able to get a wife or support a family.”
Lin Shu had always known that his brothers had a good relationship, but he didn’t expect to face such a big temptation. They were able to give up the opportunity without any hesitation, and it would be false to say they were not shocked.
Lin Dashan obviously had a plan in mind. After listening to his son's words, he took two puffs of cigarette and then spit it out.
"You are all good and sensible children. Your parents did not support you in vain. You know how to take care of your younger siblings and be filial to your parents. My father owes you this."
If the family has three, five hundred yuan, then all three sons can solve their job problems. If they can be transferred from farming to non-farm, even their grandchildren can be transferred to urban household registration.
Lin Wei and Lin Guang both said that it didn't matter. There might be another opportunity in the future. They could just wait for a few years to save up money before buying work indicators.
He Caiyun glanced at Lin Shu who was sitting against the wall, "Little sister, can you ask your partner to help with this matter?"
She really didn't want to lose this opportunity. If her husband doesn’t want it, it’s better to give her a son.
Lu Yinhua also looked at her expectantly.
Liu Xiao'e and Lin Wei both glared at He Caiyun. Lin Shu and Gu Jiu hadn't gotten engaged yet, how could she be so shy as to beg Gu Jiu?
This made Gu Jiu and the Gu family look down upon their Lin family. They had no choice but to look down upon them before entering the house.
Lin Shu had a panoramic view of the expressions of the family,
Lin Shu chuckled lightly and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help, but that a hydropower station is not Only our family wants to join. There must be many unemployed young people in the city and counties below the municipal level who want to work in this unit. Tell us the news." "You said, if three rural people enter a power station at the same time, and these three rural people are three brothers, do you think this move is not hateful? What will other people think? If the quota blocks the way of many people, others will look for death. What if Xu Ming is implicated? ”
This year and next are the peak periods for the educated youth to return to the city. Not all the educated youth from the Xiaohe production team have returned to the city, which shows that the city's resources are too many for monks and too few for meat.
If it is true that all three brothers entered the power station, the people hiding in the dark really don’t know what will happen.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to help. She said it would be the best arrangement for one person to enter the power station.
He Caiyun's eyelids jumped after hearing this, and he said with a smile: "It seems that I have suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated. I only care about my own interests in everything, and I don't have the long-term perspective like my little sister."
Lin Shu: "Sister-in-law, you are very good."
Lin Dashan nodded happily and made the final decision: "This matter is settled. I will let the third child go for this recruitment, and I will let you two go when there is a chance next time. However, this year, there is smoke coming out of our ancestral graves, maybe you will be here Maybe the power supply station can be turned into a regular one."
Lin Shu's mouth twitched, her father also knew how to make a big deal for his eldest brother and his second brother.
Before the sun was about to set in the afternoon, Lin Shu went out with a sickle. The sun was setting in the west, and there was no direct sunlight at the foot of the mountain to the east.
This season is the harvest season for herbs such as prunella vulgaris, motherwort, plantain, pinellia, and mint.
These kinds of medicinal herbs grow everywhere on roadsides and in wastelands. The system purchase price is not high, but they cannot withstand large quantities.
Based on the principle of not wasting, Lin Shu collects as much as he can.
Of course, she also had to pick some and take them home to dry in the sun. She would take them away with her next time she went to the county town, and then give them to Comrade Liu Xiao'e after she had exchanged them for money.
Otherwise, if she doesn’t go to work or go to the fields every day, her sisters-in-law will have objections.
Lin Gang heard that a company in the city was recruiting workers, and his family gave him this opportunity.
At that time, he felt as if he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky. It was too unreal.
As a result, I was so excited that I didn't fall asleep all night. I finally squinted at dawn and was woken up by my elder brother again.
I got up in a daze, and followed my two brothers out of the house in a daze, one foot deep and the other shallow, out of the village.
Walking on the mountain road, he looked at Dongfang and said, "Big brother, second brother, after I go to work, I will buy a bicycle for you after I collect enough money, so that you can go back to the village after work. "
Lin Wei gave him a funny look: "Okay, it will be good if you can solve the marriage issue yourself after you go to work."
In the countryside, the Lin family took out these five yuan. The money is equivalent to taking away all the money that Lin Gang and Lin Dongfa had to get their wives.
If Lin Gang can solve life-long problems by himself, it will reduce the burden on his family.
“I must buy this bicycle, otherwise I will pass my level.”
Fortunately, the eldest nephew is still young and can wait two more years to find a wife.
