At that time, even if you were a worker, you couldn't just be a worker. The word "guanxi" is still an indispensable reality with national characteristics and national conditions. Who makes us a humane society?

If the peasant wants to become a regular worker, rather than waiting for his employer to choose a temporary worker in the labor market, he has to do the hardest, most tiring, dirtiest, most dangerous, at least one of the jobs.

Not to mention the present, in the past, there are still three, six, nine and so on among the peasants. The reason why Sun Shaoping was able to get the job opportunity as a coal miner was because he went to work in the home of an ordinary cadre, and he was favored by him as honest, hardworking, educated, and good at literature.

So, the husband and wife combined, originally intended to marry their daughter to him, but unexpectedly, the daughter still disliked Sun Shaoping's status as a farmer.

Even if her hukou is also in the countryside, it belongs to the countryside not far from the county seat, and she grew up in the county seat, and she also has a good sense of superiority.

Sun Shaoping represented rural people like him at the time, who had to start as non-regular workers. They persevered and did a good job to have the opportunity to become regular workers, and finally they were able to jump out of the farm.

"Ordinary World" describes that among the people who went to the mining area to work as miners with Sun Shaoping, there were also related households, sons of ordinary cadres, and so on.

The latter are just going to make a transition, either to be transferred back to work in the city, or to wait for the official indicators of the work of a certain unit in the city.

As a result, the captain of the mine led the newcomers for a walk around the mine and went down the mine. When it was time to officially go to work in the coal mine again, basically half of the people were gone and ran away. Half of the remaining half, a quarter of the original, fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and was absent from work at every turn.

Only people like Sun Shaoping, who have a particularly difficult opportunity to come by, will cherish it. No matter how hard it is, as long as there is a small change, it will be as good as a drink.

It can be seen that there was a formal job at that time, and even being a worker was not easy. After all, after his father retired, one of the children in the family could continue to work and replace him, and the post was still in the same family. On the premise that there is no increase in jobs, is it possible for outsiders to want a piece of the pie?

At that time, first, the economy had not developed, and there were indeed few jobs in the cities; second, people's ideological concepts had not been completely changed, and they had to be attached to a unit, and only when they worked in a unit could they be serious people.

Even if reform and opening up had been established in 1978, it had not completely reversed people's inherent thinking in the past, and there were few self-employed people in the city.

In the 70s and 80s, except for a very small number of people who had foresight, judged the situation, and had foresight, they were either educated youths who returned to the city to wait for work arrangements, or those who were released from prison. Otherwise, it is the rural people who go to the city. This is the case with the fundamentals of the whole country.

It will not be like today, when you ask what you do, do business, even if you just resell onions, ginger and garlic, you will be superior and proud, as if you can form a monopoly by individuals. In those days, if you said that, you would definitely be ridiculed.

Jia Youwei clearly remembers that when he was in elementary school, he said that his family was in business. As a result, he was also laughed at in public by his classmates.

No one would ever say they wanted to be a businessman when they grew up. To this day, Jia Youwei doesn't like to do business, and I'm afraid that nine times out of ten it was planted at that time.

He was red-faced, and he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. Therefore, I have a psychological shadow that my childhood can't erase. He never felt that doing business was awesome.

The era that Jia Youwei remembers is also the final stage of the cultural explosion. Even so, in the streets and alleys in the evening, the most fashionable thing for literate young people is to stand and talk about literature.

Especially in the summer, when the daylight hours are long, everyone gathers in a pile after eating and going out. Whoever reads a work of foreign literature that no one has seen, such as Kafka's works, is immediately the focus, and is listened to by the stars and the moon.

Only those uneducated young people will feel fashionable and literary to go to the park to play with a broken acoustic guitar in their hands, and fight from time to time or something. Otherwise, it's some kind of break dancing or something.

Jia Youwei also has the same characteristics as other children, that is, he likes to run behind the buttocks of older children, and older children do not like to play with children younger than themselves.

The older kids like to run behind the butts of the youngsters, and the youngsters dislike them the least. So, after Jia Youwei came to the gathering place of the literary youth, he stayed in the periphery and listened to them talk about literature. Even if I couldn't understand it, I enjoyed it.

At that time, he admired the Wenqing brother in this area the most. As soon as the other party came, everyone not only respected him from the bottom of their hearts, but also the beautiful sisters all circled around him and took the initiative to pay for drinks and fruits......

Brother Wenqing's dream is to become a writer, and he is willing to fight for it for the rest of his life without regrets. For this reason, this person has deeply affected Jia Youwei's growth.

In the past era, when I asked the children, what do you want to do when you grow up, you are either a PLA or a scientist.

There is also a game in which another person crosses one of your arms with their hands crossed and the ferrule is facing upwards, the PLA, scientists, farmers, workers, and repeats this until the crutch to finalize your "occupation".

It is the children of the People's Liberation Army or scientists, all happy and proud. If it's a worker, it's fine. If it is a farmer, he will be unhappy on the spot, shouting that it will not be counted, and he will have to start again.

The background of "Ordinary World" is that era. It's just that what is written in the book is about rural changes, and the corresponding urban changes are Jia Youwei's memories of the past.

The spring that the general public benefited the most from arrived, and that was when the policy introduced by the state came later, and the three gongs turned positive. This was followed by a large number of temporary workers being regularized.

Otherwise, if you want to become a full-time worker, you can only be successful in the war against Vietnam between 1979 and 1989.

After retiring from the army, you can get a job in the public security system, railway system, power system, etc., which still seem to be one of the jobs of a good public unit in the eyes of ordinary people.

Today, those peasants who insisted on gritting their teeth and surviving in the past have the treatment of workers and retirement wages. Otherwise, they will be like their peers in the village, even when they reach retirement age, they will not have to rest, and they will still work on the farm.

At this time, these people hold tea cups, either to play mahjong, or to play chess or something, and the leisurely retirement life makes them very satisfied.

Their reminiscences, not vainly from the hardships they endured back then, proudly said that they retired, took the retirement fee, and also added points to their children in the marriage and love market.

Rather, their fellow villagers. Those who came out of remote places with them, but did not hold on, and then returned, life was inevitable.
