Finally finished being busy, and everyone scattered like chickens in the soup, running faster than rabbits, so angry that Shen Erdan couldn't find anyone when he wanted to arrange people to guard the venue. After looking left and right, in addition to being an accountant, Shen Erdan could only name Chen Sanchuan and Ma Tianlong, who had been driving to pull crops and were about to send the cattle and horses back to the cowshed, to stay on the field and go home directly.

Ma Tianlong smiled, sent the cow and horse back, wearing a coat made by himself, wearing a patched hat, or asked the old man to borrow it, taking advantage of the heavy rain, there was only Chen Sanchuan alone in front of him, he reached out to grab a handful of semi-dry wheat grains under the straw mat, rubbed them in the palm of his hand, rubbed off the wheat mangs, husks, blew them clean, stuffed the wheat kernels into his mouth, chewed and swallowed, ate enough to support his belly before stopping, and then erased the footprints in front of the wheat pile.

"You...... You...... You take it without asking, you steal it. Chen Sanchuan pointed at Ma Tianlong.

Ma Tianlong rolled his eyes, "After a day's work, I didn't have time to eat half a mouthful of food and a mouthful of water, do you have to starve to death in vain?" ”

"Unreasonable! I ...... I'm not with you!" Chen Sanchuan brushed his sleeves and squatted aside.

"Then you're hungry!"

Ma Tianlong didn't bother to pay attention to him, tsk, he didn't eat if he had something to eat, it was really pedantic!

Qi Shufang didn't know what these two old men did, she came home against the wind and rain, and the first thing she did when she entered the house was to release her spiritual power to observe the roof of her house, fortunately, fortunately, the freshly repaired roof was very strong and strong in the wind and rain.

On the way back, she saw that the roof of Shen Yaowu's house had been scraped off.

The roof was safe and sound, and there was no trace of rain leakage in the house, Qi Shufang felt that her body was sticky, and her clothes were very uncomfortable against her skin, so she hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil water and take a bath.

When He Jianguo collected old furniture, he saw that there were a few good cedar trees in the warehouse, so he bought them with his own money, and when he got home, he made a large bath bucket for her, which was polished very smooth inside and out, and found a carpenter to find tung oil to coat it, saving her from using an enamel basin to hold hot water every day, and she could only soak her body with a towel.

After taking a bath and washing her hair by the way, she didn't use the Seagull brand shampoo that He Jianguo brought her, but the rice washing water accumulated yesterday, which had a sour taste after fermentation.

She began to miss He Jianguo again, after walking for so long, there was no letter and no telegram, could something happen?

He must have been transferred somewhere else, so he didn't have time to write letters. Qi Shufang tried not to think about He Jianguo, the rain outside was falling, she wiped her hair and let it fall behind her, after washing her clothes, she first reviewed the foreign language knowledge written by Chen Sanchuan and Professor Jin, and an hour later opened the box and took out a copy of the Romance of the Gods to read.

She likes to read books and absorb the knowledge in them, although the classical classics are not textbooks, but they teach her many truths, but this rain will end the next day, and she will not have time to read.

After the rain and the sky was clear, Shen Erdan immediately organized the members to gather and go to the venue to lift the straw mat, so that the wheat grains and wheat below could see the sun, and when Qi Shufang and Zhang Cuihua worked together to lift a large piece of grass mat, there was a hot air in the wheat grain pile under the bottom that hit their faces directly. Because the rain was so great that the site was soaked, and there was a deep footprint under one foot, bringing up a piece of mud, so there was no way to spread it out, so it could only be dried by the wheat grain mountain and the wheat stack first to disperse the heat.

Shen Erdan wanted everyone to go to the plough and make ridges to prepare for planting the next season's crops, but the ground was also muddy and inaccessible.

As a result, the majority of members have no work to do for the time being, and they are all squatting near the site, or gossiping in groups, or squatting in the shade of the trees to enjoy the shade, and as soon as the weather is clear, the temperature rises.

With this time, it is better to go home and read.

Qi Shufang stood in the shade of the tree and muttered in her heart, hearing people ask about the raincoat and rubber boots she wore yesterday, she smiled and said: "When else can you buy it?" That is, the last time I went to Shanghai with Jianguo, and later saw that there were sales in thrift stores, I bought a raincoat and a pair of rubber boots with him, which were somewhat flawed. ”

Zhang Cuihua stomped her feet and said, "I should have asked you to bring one to my family if I knew it, but it's not easy to buy it now." ”

Wang Chunling echoed on the side.

"The next time I have the opportunity to go to Shanghai, I will bring one each to my sister-in-law and sister-in-law. "It's not fun to play once, Qi Shufang has long been thinking about when to go to Shanghai again.

Wang Chunling asked the price, and quickly shook her head, it was too expensive, but Zhang Cuihua nodded with bright eyes, and before she could speak, she saw her youngest son He Daoxing running over barefoot and stepping on the mud, panting: "Third aunt, third aunt, someone is coming from your door, looking for you! ”

"Do you know who it is?"

"I asked, and he said that it was my third uncle's classmate, surnamed Huo, and he had something to do with you. He said that the third aunt knew who he was. He Daoxing raised his foot and shook the mud on his feet and replied.

Huo Jianfeng: The ground is wet, what is he doing here?

Qi Shufang pressed the doubts in her heart, and in the eyes of everyone, she turned her head to the old man He who was not far away and said, "Dad, the classmate of Jianguo is here, I am young and knowledgeable, and I have to ask you to go over to meet the guest." "Don't think she doesn't see someone's mind, a big man comes to her, they must be crooked.

Old man He let out a "hey", stood up, and expressed his satisfaction with Qi Shufang's words and deeds.

He also knew Huo Jianfeng, so when he saw Huo Jianfeng, who was carrying something on his trouser leg and didn't come by bicycle, he said in surprise: "Jianfeng, the road is very sticky, why are you here? ”

"Uncle He, I have something to find Shufang, just ask you to sum it up. As soon as he saw Old Man He, Huo Jianfeng smiled, and then his face turned straight, "This matter is very important, Uncle He, let's go into the house and talk." It's a good thing, not a bad thing. Finding that Old Man He and Qi Shufang had a worried face, Huo Jianfeng immediately added this sentence.

Old man He and Qi Shufang relieved their hearts at the same time, hurriedly invited him into the house, and poured water.

Huo Jianfeng brought something

It's this job, and Old Man Huo has also worked hard.

Of course, there are other factories in the city and county to recruit workers, textile factories, heavy machinery factories, food factories, etc., but it is more difficult to work as a workshop worker in a factory than a flight attendant, especially in a heavy machinery factory, which treats male and female workers equally, and has one day off a week, even if the food index is high, it is not suitable for a delicate woman like Qi Shufang.

Of course, the main reason is that Old Man Huo is not good at dotting, and the Railway Bureau has people he knows, who happens to be in charge of recruitment, but those factories don't have them, and the indicators for entering the factory are also divided up, and it is not easy to go through the back door.

Hearing Huo Jianfeng's intention, Old Man He was overjoyed, "There is such a good thing? My family Shufang can also go to the city to become a worker? Go to apply for the recruitment of the Railway Bureau?"

Workers, peasants and soldiers, workers, peasants and soldiers, who does not want to become urban workers? From now on, they will receive commercial grain with their wages and industrial vouchers every month, and they will completely get rid of the fate of facing the loess with their backs to the sky.

Old man He is aware of the lofty status of the workers, but Qi Shufang has never thought of trapping herself in the countryside for the rest of her life, He Jianguo has been away from home for many years, she really doesn't want to go out to work every day and come back to gossip and chat with people, and spend every day like a line at three o'clock, so when she heard that the Railway Bureau was recruiting, she was also very excited, "Brother Jianfeng, can I really do it?"

She did not mean to discriminate against the peasants, but the workers were indeed the best way out before the college entrance examination.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

Qi Shufang has never been an enterprising person, she also has her own ideals, wants to have her own status, and wants to protect this beautiful environment from pollution.

"Okay, you can do it, why can't you do it? Brother and sister, don't underestimate yourself, I used to take the train, and the attendants I saw were not as articulate as you. "To be honest, Qi Shufang is very beautiful, and her accent is also very positive, close to Beijing dialect, without a local accent, as long as she passes, she must be the first person to be selected, and the passenger flight attendant must also pick a good image and temperament.

"Daddy. Qi Shufang looked at Old Man He.

Old man He clapped his hands and said: "Go! Brother Huo has done everything, why don't you go? Now how rare is the worker's index, I know a little bit, this indicator must not be easy to come by, and others know that they can't ask for it." If you go to work, you won't have to work at home in the future, and you can rest assured that Jianguo is outside. ”

"Home ......"

"You don't have to worry about it at home, I'm having dinner with your eldest brother and sister-in-law now, and you just remember to go home when you take turns off in the future." You have a job this year, and your eldest brother is the branch secretary, so you don't have to worry about having no food to share this year. "Old man He doesn't want to be a burden to his little daughter-in-law, the youngest son and daughter-in-law are both employees, what a great honor!

Old Man He didn't object, Qi Shufang was very happy, and said, "Brother Jianfeng, thank you and Uncle Huo for your trouble! I'm willing to participate in the application for the Railway Bureau, but I don't know when it will start? ”

"Three days later, the railway bureau posted an announcement, I went to work that day, you went to my house to find my father, and my father sent you to sign up. ”

Huo Jianfeng had already planned it, and advised: "When the time comes, my father may take you to meet Director Wu, who is in charge of recruitment, don't be afraid, he will definitely be more comfortable hiring you when he sees someone." This is a quota for the reserved place, so don't worry. ”

"That's okay, I'll go to Uncle Huo in three days. ”
