Reborn 1980: Marry a rough soldier

-

"Big news, big news." Several little children from the village ran over and shouted as they ran: "The people chosen by the Xia family to work in the city have come out. Come and see."

Someone threw away the hoe in his hand and said, "Let's go, let's see if any of our children are chosen."

"Let's go and see who's there."

The people working in the fields dropped their tools and ran to Xia's house. This kind of excitement was worth mentioning for a year. It would be impossible for them not to join in and watch the excitement.

When they arrived, there were already so many people on the third and third floors outside Xia's house that they couldn't even count them.

"Don't squeeze, my shoes will be squeezed off."

"Let me see, let me see if our Sanya's name is on it."

"Who pushed me? Slow down."

"Hurry up and leave after you finish watching. People behind you are still watching, so don't wait."

"Brother Ermao, why don't you know how to read? Why are you going so far? Do you understand?"

So many people attracted Father Xia who was inside. He came out to watch mainly because he was afraid that something might happen if there were too many people.

But seeing many of them squeezing in there, and fearing that they would start fighting again, Xia's father shouted loudly at the door: "Everyone, be quiet, don't crowd in yet."

"Listen to me, this list is for the people who have been selected. There are 75 people in total. Please don't move. I will ask Yan Wen to read the people on the list to you later. Otherwise, if you continue to make trouble like this, I don't know when we will be able to See it."

"Isn't there only 75 places? Why were [-] chosen?" someone asked from the crowd.

Father Xia smiled and said: "These are not the thirty for our family. We didn't use them up, so we made five free and included them together."

"Okay, Yanwen, come over and read the list to everyone."

Xia Yanwen walked out of the room, passed through the layers of people, took off the two red papers on the wall, walked among them, cleared his throat, and started reading.

Those whose names were read were very happy, and those whose names were chosen were also very happy. There were also families whose names were not chosen, and they were all disappointed. Anyway, some people were happy and some were worried.

After reading them all, some people still couldn't believe they didn't choose, so they asked Xia Yanwen to read them again to see if there were any omissions.

He was also afraid that something would happen to him, so he read it again. This time, there were still no names that had not been named before. Those that were chosen were chosen, and there was no reason to say that he had read them wrongly.

Although the names have been announced, no one wants to leave yet. They all want to see what the chosen ones will do if they stay, so they keep surrounding them.

Seeing that they were really unwilling to leave, his wife had no choice but to ask them to keep quiet. He wanted to talk to those selected about their wages and benefits.

Father Xia stood at the door and said loudly: "Since you don't want to come, please keep quiet. What I'm going to say next is very important. Everyone who has chosen please listen."

"Everyone knows that this factory is in the capital and is a bit far away from us. If you want to go there, you need to take a train."

"The first thing to talk about is the fare. I know it's not easy for everyone. It may be hard to bear to spend so much money, and it may also make life difficult."

"I am aware of these issues, and we have all considered this issue."

"Xiao Jin said that this time, the factory will give you 25 yuan in advance for each ticket. When you are paid, you will return it to the factory. Ten yuan will be deducted every month and five yuan will be deducted in the third month."

Everyone felt sad and happy to hear that it cost 25 yuan to get to Beijing from here.

The happy thing is that those families who were worried about the fare money before are so happy to hear that the factory will pay for it first. They were worried before and thought about borrowing some money, otherwise their lives would be tight.

Now travel expenses are paid by the factory, which solves most of their worries.

What hurts most is returning from the ticket booth, but there is nothing they can do about it. The city is far away from them, and it costs money to take the bus, so they can't walk there.

Seeing that everyone around him understood, Xia's father continued: "The next thing is the salary. Men get 80 yuan a month, but your work is a little more tiring than female workers."

"Girls get 60 yuan a month. Of course, it depends on where you are allocated. If you are assigned to the packaging department, you can choose piece rate, which means you will be paid for each package. You will definitely earn more."

"Then if you perform well, your salary will be increased when you become an official."

"You all don't understand this, but you probably won't be in the packaging department. If not, it will cost you 60 yuan a month."

People in the crowd were shocked when they heard about this salary. They knew the salary was high, but they didn't expect it to be so high. This doesn't mean that they can earn as much as their family can farm for a year in less than half a year.

It's easier than them, sitting in the house, protected from the wind and rain.

The people who were not selected all sighed. Some people regretted that they did not perform better when they were selected. When would they be able to earn so much money?

The selected people and their families were happy and excited. Of course they understood. Why didn't they understand? It's just 60/80 yuan a month. If you do well and become an official, it will increase. It's really great.

This is a great thing. There is nothing better than this. These uneducated roughnecks can actually make so much money one day.

If you calculate it this way, if you work for two years, you can renovate your family's house, or build a new house. Not to mention building a house like Xia's house, an ordinary small bungalow is still okay.

It would be easy to get a wife by then, but since his son was working in the city, some people in the city might be interested in him, but they didn't dare to think about a house in the city.

"Then there's the issue of accommodation. Food and accommodation are included, and then there are four days off every month so you can go out and explore."

"If you understand everything, you can go home and prepare. Someone will come to pick you up in mid-May. Don't worry."

We all understand why we don’t understand. Everyone agrees with all of this and thinks it’s very reasonable. Taking care of food and housing, having so much money every month, and holidays, this is really a fairy life.

Those who were not chosen thought in their hearts why they were not chosen, and they did not know if there would be such an opportunity in the future. In the future, they would become more and more distant from those people.
