Return To 1977 Chapter 266: Looking for a job

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Tuesday, February 14th.

This day is Valentine's Day in the West, but Chinese people back then had no such concept. As for Hong Yanwu himself, except that he couldn't help but think of "Tang Xin'er" a few times, there was nothing romantic about the day's content.

On the contrary, it can be said that I was a little frustrated.

This is because he begged his neighbor Aunt Bian to take him and Chen Liquan to the subdistrict office to ask about work. But as a result, I didn’t see any good looks at all!

Aunt Bian was very dedicated and led them around the courtyard, visiting several houses and meeting many people. These people were quite familiar with Aunt Bian, but once they heard that they were "released through labor prisoners," no one started talking to her again.

Yes, 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 is simply harder than a hen crowing!

The most outrageous one was an old lady named Pu who was in her fifties. She had triangular eyes, fierce eyes, a straight belly and 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. She talks too much.

"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 , who else has arranged it..."

"Let me 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? Oops, stop grinding before it’s too late..."

Who would have thought that Aunt Bian spent a long time talking about her smiling face, 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. What happened to us made you angry..."

"I don't care what they say here... However, don't take what they said just to heart. Don't get emotional about this and go out to cause trouble again. I won't agree to it..."

"Look at what you said, definitely not..."

"Just be 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 care about 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's just pretending, I can't live up to the aunt's care. What's more, they don't have to worry about having no money to spend. What can they do if they really don't have a job?

And just at this moment, a man in his forties came forward with a serious face.

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. "Hey, Da Chongjiu, you can smoke better than me! I don't have to worry about work..."

After saying that, he cut off Aunt Bian's words and left, saying that he had something else to do. He didn't care how embarrassed Aunt Bian was. She 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 cares so much about the quality of cigarettes, it is certainly possible for him to take advantage of the loopholes. There happens to be no one from the street office on the road, wouldn't it be the best time to test?

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 is specially prepared for noble people. You see..." I don’t even know how to be polite, and my face is still red! I feel that you might be my noble person..."

Chief Li was fooled into laughing, 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 handle. 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. You said the blue ones are better. Ah, is it better to be red?”

This is not nonsense. However, Director Li really became serious and took a good look at Hong Yanwu. There is something in the words, "The blue one is native to Shanghai. The red one in the capital is 'peony', which is slightly different. Just like you two, although you have to do the same thing, you can't just do it as one person, right... ”

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

Director Li really seemed to have his armpits scratched at this moment, 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 requirements? Let me hear it first..."

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

"Would you like a 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, let alone the scrap 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? What kind of construction is it like? Teams, street factories, etc. are better than temporary workers..."

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. As soon as he chewed his teeth, he stopped picking.

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

Director Li's face bloomed with a smile again.

"You understand people and are aware of current affairs. To be honest, the work that our street can arrange is not very good even if it is available. What's more, with your conditions, the work of the receiving unit will never be too easy. That's practical Just wait, I'll let Director Bian tell you if there's news... By the way, what's your name..."

In this way, Hong Yanwu relied on flexibility and flexibility to finally get a job done. But when he went back to look for Aunt Bian and Chen Liquan, he didn't feel very happy.

Why do you 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!

Thankfully, he has always been optimistic that giving gifts is a special magic weapon to conquer everyone. No matter who he is, as long as he accepts his gift, his shoulders will be as high as his.

But now he found that the actual situation was not like this at all. In the current rigid social system, there is still not much room for him to move. Some barriers really cannot be broken through with money!

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

But then again, after all, he now has food at home and has no financial worries. In short, as time changes, the 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 not a pity that you didn't go to the scrap station.

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

Not to mention the actual collection of any national treasure-level cultural relics, the probability of encountering folk kiln artifacts here is not high.

Nothing else, just be brave enough to be yourself and do whatever you want!
