For several days, Hanhua Machinery Factory was immersed in a state of uneasy emotion.

On that day, Peng Jun, who committed suicide by taking poison, was sent to the county people's hospital by truck in time by the factory, and after gastric lavage and rescue, he was able to pick up a life, however, the reason for Peng Jun's suicide was like a heavy stone, pressing on the hearts of many workers in the factory.

It turned out that the reason why Peng Jun committed suicide was that the object he had just talked about for half a month was blown off again, and this was already the fifth object he had blown off, and there was only one reason why the object and him blew the lamp, that is, he was still a temporary worker.

Peng Jun, who is 27 years old, like many older children in the factory, has been working as a temporary worker in the factory since graduating from junior high school, waiting for the opportunity to recruit workers into the factory indefinitely.

China's state-owned enterprises have gone through several different periods of recruitment. In the 50s, factory recruitment was open to the whole society, including the children of peasant families, who also had the opportunity to enter the factory and become workers who ate commercial grain. Before rural communization, peasant families with abundant labor were even better off economically than workers, so the desire to become a worker was not urgent.

After entering the 60s, the gap between urban and rural areas began to gradually widen, and the state strictly controlled the number of urban residents who ate commercial grain. At this point, the scope of factory recruitment was narrowed to urban residents, and rural children had few opportunities to become workers. However, during this period, the pressure of new jobs in the city was not great, and almost all children in the city were able to be arranged by the state as long as they reached adulthood.

Since the end of the 60s, the employment situation in the cities has become tense, and a large number of children born after the founding of the country have entered the employment army, while the country has been slow to increase jobs due to the economic stagnation caused by frequent political movements. In order to solve this problem, the state has introduced a policy of young people with knowledge going to the countryside to push some young people from cities to the countryside to reduce the pressure of urban employment.

At this stage, the number of workers recruited by state-owned enterprises has become an extremely scarce resource, and all provinces, municipalities, and industry systems have strictly limited the scope of recruitment to their own jurisdictions, and they are easily unwilling to leave the country. For example, the recruitment index of Hanhua Machinery Factory is generally issued by the Department of Light Chemical, and the scope of recruitment is limited to the children in the system of the Department of Light Industry and the students who graduated from chemical technical schools.

Even so, in the face of the birth boom of the fifties and sixties, the number of jobs that companies could create was limited. In 1979, the state introduced a policy of returning educated youth to the cities, and tens of millions of educated youths from all over the country poured back to the cities, which brought a heavy pressure on urban employment.

Hanhua Machinery Factory was built in the late 50s, and most of the workers were in their twenties and thirties when the factory was built, and now it is just in time for their children to be employed. According to the statistics of the factory office, there are as many as 100 children of workers who need to be employed in the whole factory. Peng Shaozhe, Chu Hongyang, Zhao Yongqun, Yang Xin and others all belong to this category, but they are still relatively young and have not yet talked about marriage, so the requirements for turning into regular workers are not so urgent. But for a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old child like Peng Jun, the problem is very serious.

In later life, not getting married at the age of 27 is not a thing at all, and it is quite rare to be able to get married before the age of 30 in a big city. But back then, the legal age of marriage for men was only 20 years old, and the average person was already married at the age of twenty-two or three, and it was definitely very late to delay to 27 years old.

Peng Jun's family conditions are not very bad, his parents are dual-income workers, and for the marriage of this son, Peng Gang and his family have saved a complete set of furniture, and the house can also be vacated. There is only one obstacle that prevents Peng Jun from engaging in a partner, and that is his status as a temporary worker.

As a temporary worker, Peng Jun's monthly salary is only more than 20 yuan, and after getting married, unless he is cheeky enough to ask his parents for money, the life of a small family will be relatively poor. Girls in this era are very practical, and no one wants to marry a man who is financially unable to support himself.

In this way, Peng Jun talked about five objects before and after, and without exception, they were "kicked" by the woman first. Peng Jun felt that his face was really unbearable, and he had lost hope for recruiting workers into the factory in the future, so while his parents were going to work, he stayed at home alone and drank a small bottle of dichlorvos for mosquito control.

Fortunately, Peng Gang's wife happened to have something to do and left the workshop early to go home. As soon as I pushed the door, I smelled a strong smell of medicine, and when I looked closely, I found that my son was lying on the bed, foaming at the mouth, and immediately screamed in fright. The surrounding neighbors ran over together, and after finding out the situation, some hurried to find the doctor from the infirmary, some went to the workshop to call Peng Gang, and some went directly to call the car in the factory. Everyone got Peng Jun into a truck and sent him to the hospital, so that it didn't cause a tragedy.

A factory is a small society, and Peng Gang's family can't hide it from others at all. In just half a day, all the workers in the factory knew the reason for Peng Jun's suicide, and the more than 100 unemployed workers' children all felt a feeling of sadness when they heard about it. As for the children who were about the same age as Peng Jun, they were even more sad, as if the person who was lying in the hospital bed at this time was himself.

"Isn't it just a regular job, as for going to a dead end for this?" When Lin Zhenhua had dinner with Yang Xin, he couldn't help but mention this topic.

"You're a regular worker yourself, so of course you don't know what we temporary workers think." Yang Xin retorted.

"You temporary workers?" Lin Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Yang Xin was also a temporary worker, and he was in the same camp as Peng Jun, so he hurriedly picked up the bowl and sniffed it again, and looked at Yang Xin with suspicious eyes.

"What do you smell?" Yang Xin asked.

"I'll smell and see if you put dichlorvos in your meal."

"You're going to die!" Yang Xin scolded, "Even if I want to drink dichlorvos, I won't pull you to drink it together." ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Lin Zhenhua said.

"You don't care if I live or die?" Yang Xin said angrily.

Lin Zhenhua said: "No, if you are a temporary worker, you will die, and if the factory closes down and everyone is laid off, shouldn't the Hanhua factory be changed into a cemetery?" ”

"What are you talking nonsense? How could a state-owned factory go out of business? Yang Xin said.

"Alas, people have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries." Lin Zhenhua said, he put away his ridiculous face, and said to Yang Xin seriously: "Yang Xin, let me tell you, no matter what happens, you can't learn from Peng Jun." You have to remember that there is no hurdle in the world that cannot be overcome. ”

"Brother Xiaohua, you said it lightly. If I were a temporary worker, would anyone want me? Yang Xin asked tentatively, this was actually her biggest heart problem.

"How could no one want it? Nobody really wants it, I want it. Lin Zhenhua blurted out.

"Bah, you want it, who will give it to you." Yang Xin scolded with a red face, but her heart was warm.

"I'm serious." Lin Zhenhua said, "Yang Xin, in fact, you don't need to care about any regular or temporary workers. Let me tell you, as the reform progresses, the employment system will definitely change. At that time, what kind of preparation and the like are floating clouds, as long as you have the ability, a monthly salary of tens of thousands is not a dream. If you don't have the ability, even if you are a regular worker, you will be laid off if you are laid off. ”

"Tens of thousands of dollars a month?" Yang Xin smiled, "Brother Xiaohua, are you also reliable in bragging?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "How is it impossible? Do you know how much Xiong Lijun earns a month now? ”

"Well, I know he earns a lot of money, does he have 200 yuan a month?" Yang Xin asked, she knew that Xiong Lijun's business had Lin Zhenhua's shares in it, but she didn't know that Lin Zhenhua was actually the real boss.

Lin Zhenhua said disdainfully: "200 yuan? Who are you scolding? Let me tell you, Lao Xiong earned at least 2,000 last month. ”

“2000！” Yang Xin's eyes widened, "How can he make so much money?" ”

"Do you know what a market economy is?" Lin Zhenhua said, as if he remembered something, he got up and took out an envelope from the drawer, handed it to Yang Xin, and said, "By the way, this is a dividend for you, not much, 200 yuan." ”

"What red am I going to share?" Yang Xin raised his hands and dodged the envelope from a distance.

"Lao Xiong's store is called Shin Shin Store, and it uses your name, and this money is the name usage fee." Lin Zhenhua said nonsense, after he made money, he kept thinking about giving some money to Yang Xin. Although he has not officially decided to take Yang Xin as his girlfriend, the relationship between the two is very deep. Even if he doesn't consider the relationship between men and women, for the sake of brother and sister, he is not willing to earn a lot of money by himself, and let Yang Xin's family live a tight life.

"You lied to me, I can't ask for this money." Yang Xin insisted.

"You just take it." Lin Zhenhua stepped forward and grabbed Yang Xin's clothes. Yang Xin can't struggle anymore, and if she struggles again, it will be very ambiguous. Her face was flushed, her hands were still raised, and then she watched as Lin Zhenhua stuffed the envelope into her pocket.

At that moment, the two people were very close to each other, and Lin Zhenhua could even feel the heat radiating from Yang Xin's face.

Will he take the opportunity to kiss me? Yang Xin thought in horror.

Would you like to take the opportunity to kiss her? Lin Zhenhua is also fighting against the celestials.

To be dear or not to be pro, this is a question......
