Tuesday, February 14th.

This day is Valentine's Day in the West, but Chinese people at that time had no such concept. Except for Hong Yanwu himself, who couldn't help but think of "sugar heart" a few times, there was nothing romantic about this day.

.

On the contrary, it can be said that it was a bit frustrating.

This is because he begged his neighbor's aunt to take him and Chen Liquan to the subdistrict office to ask about work. But in the end, he didn't look good at all!

Aunt Bian was very dedicated. She took them around the big courtyard, visited several houses, and met many people. These people were quite familiar with Aunt Bian, but when I heard that they were "released from labor camps"

If you commit a crime, no one will bother you anymore.

That's right, in the eyes of these people, Hong Yanwu and the others are nothing but bullshit. Carrying such a criminal file, you still want to find a job? That's harder than a hen crowing!

The most outrageous one is an old lady named Pu who is in her fifties. She has triangular eyes, is fierce, looks down with a straight belly, and holds a cigarette in her hand. She is even more hateful than Mao Yuanfang. She has an arrogant attitude and is sarcastic and sarcastic without any scruples.

If you are capable of doing things, you will talk a lot.

"Where are the arrangements now? The world is so big, we can't say that crops can grow on every piece of land..."

"How can it be so easy? How many good people are still at home, not to mention the two-person workers who have been in the bureau. Besides, you don't know, in our area, there are boys and girls who have held study classes, and there are

Which one has been arranged..."

"I'll tell you the truth, even if there are jobs, people don't dare to hire them! What? A waste dump? That's a good idea, those are all regular workers! The toilet paper factory down the street? There are no young men there? Oh, it's early.

Just don’t grind..."

Who would have thought that Aunt Bian spent a long time talking about her face and smiling everywhere, but it didn't work at all?

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan suffered a lot of insults in vain. They didn't even find a chance to offer people cigarettes and say nice things, and they were completely disappointed...

On the way home, Aunt Bian felt embarrassed, while Chen Liquan was dejected.

Only Hong Yanwu was mentally prepared in advance and behaved quite calmly. He tried his best to comfort Chen Liquan, which even made Aunt Bian angry and apologized repeatedly.

"Aunt Bian, I'm sorry for you. Our affairs have made you angry..."

"I don't care what they say... But don't take what they said just to heart. Don't get emotional about it and go out to cause trouble later. I won't agree to it..."

"Looking at what you said, it will definitely not..."

"As long as you are sensible, you two have to keep up with each other. As long as you are down-to-earth and want to do serious things, Auntie will definitely find a job for you if you don't have this old face. Do you hear me..."

"Thank you, aunt, you are tired..."

When talking about this, Chen Liquan couldn't help but smile. Even if it was just a pretense, the aunt around him couldn't live up to the care he put in him. Besides, they didn't have to worry about having no money to spend, so what could they do if they really didn't have a job?

And just at this moment, a man in his forties with a serious face walked towards him.

When Aunt Bian saw him, she rushed up to him and called him "Director Li." She took Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to bow to the man, and took the opportunity to tell them their story again.

"Director Li" didn't say anything. He listened to Aunt Bian talking and glanced at them quite indifferently.

Hong Yanwu immediately realized that this was the top leader of the subdistrict office and quickly gave him a cigarette.

Unexpectedly, what came back was a frown from Director Li. "Oh, Da Chongjiu, you can smoke better than me! I don't need to be anxious about my work..."

After saying that, he cut off Aunt Bian's words, saying that he still had something to do and left. He didn't care how embarrassed Aunt Bian was, and waved her hands as she walked away, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Hong Yanwu was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that he would mess up the matter. But his mind was still quick. Suddenly, he let Aunt Bian and Chen Liquan go first, and he followed and chased after them.

It’s not for anything else. Although it sounds irritating on the surface, since Director Li can care so much about the quality of cigarettes, it is certainly possible to take advantage of it. There happens to be no one from the subdistrict office on the road, so wouldn’t it be the best time to test it out?

opportunity?

As soon as he turned the corner, Hong Yanwu hurriedly ran a few steps and caught up with Director Li. He didn't waste any time and just handed over the two unopened packages of Dachongjiu.

"Director Li, you dropped something!"

Director Li stared at the cigarette in his hand, full of disbelief.

"What do you mean?"

Hong Yanwu began to use his eloquence again.

"Hey, let me tell you, for people like me, I usually smoke 'Dagong Cigarettes'. How can I smoke this 'Dachongjiu'? It's specially prepared for nobles. You see... I can't even be polite.

No, my face is still red! I feel that you might be my noble person..."

Section Chief Li laughed because he was fooled, but his eyes were still quite casual and had the smell of charity, and he glanced condescendingly at Hong Yanwu's face.

"Your matter is not easy to deal with. I have to think about it again..."

Hong Yanwu continued to act stupid.

"It's okay, don't worry. I know the difficulty here... By the way, I'll get you two more 'Peony' products later. Are you used to them? I don't understand either. Do you think the blue one is better?

Is red good?"

This is not nonsense. But Director Li really got serious and took a good look at Hong Yanwu. He said thoughtfully, "The blue one is from Shanghai. The red one from Beijing is slightly different. Just like the two of you.

, even if we have to do the same thing, we can’t just do it alone, right..."

"Okay, I understand, then I have two feelings. So what is convenient for you? When should I send it to you?"

Director Li really seemed to have his armpit scratched at this moment, he was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and his attitude completely softened.

"Bring the stuff back when you really know something about it, and remember to keep the cigarette bag tight. By the way, do you have any requests? Let me hear it first..."

Hong Yanwu rolled his eyes and quickly said the goal he had been thinking about.

"Can you see the scrap yard?"

Unexpectedly, Director Li immediately shook his head and his answer was exactly the same as that of Park.

"Let me tell you first, not to mention the waste station, you can't even collect garbage or clean toilets. Those are regular workers! I can only help think of solutions within the scope of contract work. Do you understand? Like some kind of construction team, street

A factory or something is better than a temporary job..."

Only then did Hong Yanwu realize the power of the system. As long as it was an iron rice bowl, it was not something they could care about. He chewed his teeth and stopped picking.

"Then you can figure it out. In fact, it doesn't matter if you have little money or hard work. We don't care about contract workers or temporary workers. The key is not to get too dirty! Also, it would be best if the working hours can be shorter and the time can be more flexible...

"

Director Li's face bloomed with a smile again.

"You do understand people and are very aware of current affairs. To be honest, the work that our street can arrange is not very good even if it is available. Besides, with your conditions, the work of the receiving unit will never be easy. Then just wait and see.

, I will ask Director Bian to tell you if there is news. By the way, what is your name..."

In this way, Hong Yanwu relied on flexibility and flexibility, and finally managed to find a job. But when he went back to find Aunt Bian and Chen Liquan, he was not very happy in his heart.

Why is there any need to say that? He never thought that he was not even qualified to clean the toilet!

And his long-premeditated plan to become the "King of Rags" and use his job to collect some antique calligraphy and paintings also came to nothing!

Fortunately, he has always been optimistic that giving gifts is a special magic weapon to conquer everyone. No matter who they are, as long as they accept his gifts, their shoulders will be as tall as his.

But now he finds that the actual situation is not like this at all. Under the current rigid and rigid social system, the society still does not have much room for him to move. Some barriers cannot be broken through with money!

Alas! He couldn't even find a job by himself. How was he going to solve the problem of "Hongye" forcing his family of dozens of people to earn a living?

But then again, after all, he now has food at home and no financial worries. After all, as time changes, his living situation will get better and better, and there is no need to worry about it for a while.

What's more, if you think about it carefully, it's actually not a pity not to go to the scrapyard.

Not to mention the dirty working environment. After all, Nancheng doesn't have as many high-end households as there are in the north. Most of the people living here are ordinary craftsmen who usually only sell some toothpaste skins and old waste paper.

Let alone collecting any national treasure-level cultural relics, the probability of encountering folk kiln artifacts here is not high.
