Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

But in this era, screwing is the top job among workers and is a synonym for skilled workers.

Skilled fitters, lathe operators, milling operators and planers can earn even higher salaries than workshop directors and factory managers.

If you are rated as an eighth-level worker, you can earn more than 100 yuan per month, which is higher than the salary of a university professor or a county magistrate.

Not to mention the welfare benefits, they have everything they need, even the housing is basically the same as that of the factory leaders.

He has a very high social status and can be rated as an eighth-level worker. He is basically the big shot in the factory and a giant panda-like figure in the entire province. He is also a well-known figure in the country.

The treatment they can enjoy is equivalent to that of section chief or deputy section chief at the bureau or department level, and director or deputy director at the department or bureau level in state organs.

Niu Xiaoyun's father is a fourth-level fitter in a machinery factory. He earns more than 50 yuan a month, which makes him the highest-paid person in Shuijing Hutong except for Han Zhaozhao's father.

Brother Xiaoyun is not cut out for school, so working in a factory is his best option.

With Niu's father's connections, even if the factory is not recruiting for the time being, it would be absolutely no problem to get him a temporary job.

When there are recruitment vacancies, with a high school diploma in hand and Father Niu, a level 4 worker, around, I will definitely be among the first batch to be converted to a regular employee.

Working in a factory as a worker may be the ultimate life goal that all families set for their children in this era.

"You are thinking too far ahead! We will start elementary school next year. Maybe you will be better than your brother and become smart in studying. You may even be able to get into university in the future." Han Zhaozhao's consolation was also nonchalant.

Niu Xiaoyun shook her head so hard that it almost fell off: "You think too highly of me. I know my own worth."

The two friends played for a while, and Han Zhaozhao heard a lot of gossip from Niu Xiaoyun.

The Xue family didn't plan to send their eldest daughter to school anymore, and wanted to send her to a cotton mill as an apprentice, but the mill refused to accept her, so she stayed at home doing housework and making matchboxes. If she couldn't find a job, she would be married off soon.

The daughters-in-law of the Li family were smashing pots and bowls every day and making a fuss about dividing the family property, and there were big fights every day.

What happened? Qi Mudan’s former sister was almost beaten to death by a man and hid in her house for several days.

What's the matter with Mr. Guan? His son sent him a big package. The old man has been showing off everywhere recently, and he is not afraid of being hated by others and being put in a sack and beaten with a club.

She even knew a lot of gossip about other compounds: There was a man named Zhu in Compound No. 3 who was a domestic violence maniac. He beat his wife and caused her to have six miscarriages. They still have no children, and as a retribution, he has left his family extinct.

There are several families in Courtyard No. 5 whose relationships are in a mess. The man from the Zhao family is having an affair with Old Wang's wife; Old Wang's son is flirting with the daughter-in-law named Lu; the son named Lu seduces the little girl from the Zhao family, and she cries and shouts that she wants to marry the poor Lu family, acting out a whole human ethics drama.

The two sons of Mr. Li in Yard No. 7 are suspected to be the children of Mr. Lin in Yard No. 9. When Mr. Li's wife was young, she sneaked into the woods with Mr. Lin and was caught. Now she is almost fifty, but they are still connected and have never changed...

There were so many big melons that Han Zhaozhao couldn’t finish them all at once!

While she was providing her ears, she also had to draw a mind map in her mind to sort out the relationships between these people.

Han Zhaozhao secretly praised in her heart, Niu Xiaoyun was simply amazing, she could definitely be called the gossip and intelligence queen of Shuijing Hutong!

In terms of the amount of gossip he knew, Xiao Sanzi, the know-it-all in Dongcheng, could only be on par with her at best!

Moreover, their focuses were different. Xiao Sanzi inquired about the news on several nearby streets.

Niu Xiaoyun, on the other hand, focused on the private and scandalous news that each household in Shuijing Hutong could not reveal.

If the two of them join forces, even if a fly flies through Shuijing Hutong, it will probably leave a trail.

Han Zhaozhao asked with admiration: "Xiaoyun, you are amazing, how do you know so much?

Where did you hear this from? How come I don’t know anything about it?”

Niu Xiaoyun: "This is not a secret, almost all old ladies know it.

Grandma Huang in our courtyard would gossip in the courtyard after dinner every day. She could tell any old stories or bad things from them.

We are a hospital, and we have found more bargains than you know.

Your grandma must know these things. She used to visit the Huang family often. Why? Didn’t she tell you when she got home? "

Han Zhaozhao shook his head: "My grandma is too much. She tells me stories about ghosts and monsters, but never tells me about other people's families!"

Xiaoyun is very understanding: "Your grandma might be afraid that you won't pay attention and say it in front of others and offend them!

It’s not your grandma’s fault. It’s your fault for being so stupid and innocent before!

By the way, Xue Ying said that she will enroll in elementary school with us next year. I don’t like her, so we will try to get rid of her and not be in the same class with her.”

Han Zhaozhao seconded: "I'll listen to you. I don't like her anymore!"

After Niu Xiaoyun finished talking about all the gossip in her stomach, she was about to go home. Han Zhaozhao brought her a bunch of eggplants and a large handful of spiced dried radishes.

She had a great time chatting this afternoon, so Niu Xiaoyun must be rewarded!

When I got home, Niu Xiaomin and Niu Xiaolian had just finished school.

"Where did you get the firewood with all these big and small things in your arms?" Niu Xiaolian reached out to take the eggplant stalk and wanted to put it in the corner of the house, preparing to use it to light the stove.

"Is this an eggplant plant? Don't we have enough firewood to burn it?" Niu Xiaomin asked.

"Sister, don't put it in the firewood pile. This is a gift from Zhao Zhao. She uses it to boil water for our dad and brother to soak their feet at night. She said it can cure frostbite!"

"Really? Then boil some more water so I can soak in it. My feet are frozen too. Once they warm up, they'll itch like hell!

My hands are frozen, so I can soak them in water, right? My hands are frozen, too, and I can’t even hold the pen when I write.” Niu Xiaolian asked in surprise.

"It should be possible! But at night you should soak your hands first and then your feet, otherwise your hands will smell!"

"I'm not stupid, do I need you to teach me this?"

Niu Xiaomin saw that Niu Xiaoyun was holding a small wicker basket with a lid in her hand.

"Is this the basket Zhao Zhao gave you? It's pretty. No wonder she didn't go out to play much this year. She's been busy making these little things at home."

"Hehe, Zhao Zhao not only gave me a small basket, but also filled it with half a basket of spiced dried radishes! It's just right for my dad to have with him as a snack tonight."

Niu Xiaomin: "It's fine if you want a basket, but why do you want someone else's dried radish?"

He opened the lid and took a look. "There are so many! You can't make these dried radishes without five or six big radishes," he said as he pinched one and put it in his mouth to taste it. "Not to mention there are a lot of seasonings added to it."

Niu Xiaolian put the eggplants away, came over to take a look, and also scolded Niu Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, don't do this in the future. It's not a good habit to ask people for things!"

Niu Xiaoyun didn't want to hear this: "Who is going to ask for things? I'm not like Xue Ying.

I said no, but Zhaozhao insisted on giving it to me. We have a good relationship, and both Grandma Han and Zhaozhao like me.

At worst, I can help out a little more at Zhaozhao's house if there's any work to do. I won't take her things for free.

Sister, I helped Zhao Zhao knit woolen socks today. When our mother comes back, ask her to buy some woolen socks. Now that I have learned how to knit woolen socks for our father and eldest brother, their feet won’t get cold after they wear them. "

Niu Xiaolian looked down on her sister, "You helped Zhao Zhao knit socks? It was Zhao Zhao who asked you to use her wool to teach you how to knit, right? You're so old, but you don't know what's good for you!"

Niu Xiaoyun thought about it and realized that it was true. She was just too self-righteous. "What should I do? How about I send it back?"
