Two young men about the same age as Song Yuanchao were sitting on the sofa, wearing a white shirt, a pair of blue pants underneath, and liberation shoes on their feet.

Although he was dressed neatly and decently, Song Yuanchao saw that both the white shirt on the upper body and the blue pants on the lower body were a little ill-fitting, because he was tall, the clothes were a little smaller and tighter, and one of the young people had a patch on the knee of his pants.

These two young people are the second and third of He Maoyong's family, the second is called He Wei, and the third is called He Xiao, among which He Wei looks calmer, He Xiao seems to be more extroverted, and now the two of them seem to be a little restrained, sitting with a pair of hands that don't know where to put appropriately, and they look a little nervous.

Since being implicated, He Wei and He Xiao have lost their jobs in a branch factory, which makes the two young men very sad.

Although they were only temporary workers in a branch factory, and their monthly salary was not high, less than 38 yuan, but in any case, it was a serious job.

It is too difficult for educated youths like them to find a serious job, He Wei and He Xiao have been back for almost two years, and they came back much later than Song Yuanchao, because of the differences in the implementation of the policy of returning to the city in various places.

After returning to Jinling, they have been worrying about their work, the He family is just an ordinary family, He Maoyong and his wife are just ordinary double workers, the family conditions are average, and there is no background, in addition to the two brothers who are educated youths in the city, there are also eldest brother He Hua and eldest sister He Qiu are also educated youth.

There is a family of seven, and He Maoyong and his wife have jobs, and the three sons and two daughters below are unemployed.

In order to solve the problem of the child's work, He Maoyong was worried, and the younger sister He Chun was better, because she didn't go to the countryside when she was young, and stayed with her parents, and now she is about to graduate from high school, and the state will assign a job after graduation, so that she can eat the emperor's food.

The eldest brother is the oldest, he is already an older young man but he is not married, no matter how he says, he has to solve his work problem first. There is really no way for my mother to retire early, and letting my eldest brother replace her can be regarded as a solution.

But the problem is that the eldest brother has solved it, and there are two eldest sisters and their brothers, but there is only one place to replace, and the mother has already made a sacrifice, so he Maoyong, who is a father, can't be sacrificed again, right? Moreover, even if He Maoyong retires early to give up a replacement place to his children, the efficiency of a branch factory is not good, He Maoyong has a long working experience and is a former production pacesetter, so the salary is relatively high, but once he retires, he will not get this amount, and whoever replaces him in the factory can only get the minimum wage.

There are more monks and less porridge, and the situation cannot be solved at all, so there is no way for the family to find another way.

Last year, I finally had an opportunity, first solved the work problem of my eldest sister, and went to a carton factory as a temporary worker. At the beginning of this year, He Maoyong finally got the second and third children into a branch factory, although they are also temporary workers, but in any case, they finally solved the children's work problems.

Everything is developing for the better, and the solution of the work has made the He family a lot of joy on weekdays. Before going to a branch factory as a temporary worker, He Maoyong personally talked to his two sons, asking them to be serious and down-to-earth in their work, although they are temporary workers, it is not without the opportunity to become a regular, if the opportunity comes, first of all, look at your usual work attitude, this is He Maoyong's heartfelt words after many years of work.

In the face of their father's explanation, He Wei and He Xiao both listened to it in their ears and remembered it in their hearts, and after going to a branch factory, they did it according to He Maoyong's requirements, and they were down-to-earth and serious in their work, never tossing those messy things, and they did not associate with those messy people.

To this day, they still remember the day they were paid their first month's salary, and when they received the wages in the cowhide envelope, the two brothers were extremely excited and at the same time extremely down-to-earth.

Finally, they are not idle people who can only stay at home and eat idle meals every day, they are also people who have jobs and get salaries.

That night, the two brothers each took a part of the money and handed it over to the family, and promised to pay half of their monthly salary to the family after the end of each month. In addition, the two also bought some small gifts for their parents and siblings, although these gifts were not worth much, but when they saw the happy look of the family members who received the gifts, their brothers were happy but had some indescribable sourness.

Day by day, they are developing in a better way, and as their work problems are solved, they have more hope for the future.

Maybe after a year or two, when the temporary worker becomes a regular worker, he will really serve an iron rice bowl, and then everything will be better than now.

He Maoyong actually didn't know that He Wei and He Xiao already had a partner, and they secretly talked about it from their family. They have a good relationship with their partner, and they haven't told their family for the time being because they just got a job, and they plan to wait for a period of stability before talking to their family.

Unexpectedly, just when the two brothers were full of longing for the future and yearning for a better life, their jobs were suddenly lost. Because of the theft of several temporary workers, the Nandu General Factory began to strictly investigate the disciplinary violations of the first branch of the factory to recruit temporary workers without the approval of the main factory, thus dissolving all the temporary workers.

Jobs are lost overnight, income is gone, and the future is unpredictable. The sky that had been clear a moment ago was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the future became gloomy.

After being hit like this, the two brothers really couldn't understand the end of being kicked out of the first branch. For this reason, He Maoyong comforted the two of them, and told them that they had communicated privately with the factory director Jia Fan, and that the current homecoming was only temporary, and they would continue to go back to work after the limelight passed.

This news gave them a glimmer of hope, and the brothers waited for the next few days to be able to return to the first branch to continue working.

But wait, wait, wait day after day, week after week, month after month, in the blink of an eye, I waited for many months, but when I could go back to work was far away.

A few days ago, He Maoyong was in a very bad mood after returning home, but he didn't say anything. Seeing his father like this, the two brothers discussed and found an acquaintance in a branch factory and inquired about it, only to know that the sky had changed in the factory today, the original factory director Jia Fan was sick and retired, and the main factory directly sent a new deputy director to take over a branch factory.

Of course Jia Fan and Uncle Jia know each other, and they are the senior brothers of their father He Maoyong, and they were helped by Jia Fan when they entered the factory, but now that Jia Fan suddenly retired, then there is a chance that their work will be yellow.

No wonder He Maoyong's mood will be so bad, He Maoyong and Jia Fan have a relationship, but they don't know the new leader at all, and I heard that this new leader is very strong, so he directly sent a biao at the meeting announced on the first day of the factory, and severely dealt with a few people who were late for the meeting.

In the face of such a new leader, will his work continue as promised? This answer can be imagined. After understanding the situation, He Wei and He Xiao discussed it privately, and felt that it should be impossible to return to a branch factory, and it was better to find a way out than to let the family worry about it.

There are so many educated youths who return to the city, and there are many educated youths who don't have to work or work, and some of them start to be self-employed because they really can't do it, although the name of self-employed is a bit embarrassing, but it's still good to do a good job, at least you can earn money.

Instead of eating dry rice at home, it's better to go out and have a fight, than to do nothing every day, right?

In this way, after the two brothers discussed, they planned to do self-employment, and the second brother was thinking about setting up a stall to sell some needles and threads, as for the third child, he was more bold, saying that he thought it was good to collect waste, don't look at the waste collection is not good, he has inquired privately, and it is easy to earn a few yuan a day for a good job, and it is higher than He Maoyong's salary in a month.

Just when the two brothers secretly decided to let it go, suddenly He Maoyong went home last night and excitedly told them to dress neatly and go to a branch factory early tomorrow morning.

He Maoyong told them that he had the cheekiness to ask the new Director Song, and Director Song promised to give the two brothers a chance, but they needed to meet them formally and have a good chat.

This good news can make the family happy, and even He Wei and He Xiao, who are ready to be individuals, can't help but be moved, if they can go back to a branch factory, what else can they do? After all, self-employed people have a bad reputation, and whether they can really make money by themselves is two words, if it is not desperate, who will do this? Now that there is a chance to go back to the factory, a fool will go to the individual.

In this way, early this morning, the two brothers found all their best and cleanest clothes and put them on their bodies, although these clothes and pants were a little uncomfortable because they were very old and their current body shape, but they were still very energetic when they looked in the mirror after changing.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, they followed their father He Maoyong to a branch factory, registered in the guard room and led them to the factory director's office.

Seeing them coming, Song Yuanchao warmly beckoned them to sit, and He Maoyong said a few words with him, because there was still something to do in the workshop, he left first, leaving He Wei and He Xiao here.

"Don't be nervous, come, drink water." Seeing that they were a little nervous, Song Yuanchao smiled and pointed to the water poured for them on the coffee table, and at the same time took out a cigarette and asked, "You all smoke, right?" Come on. ”

Seeing Song Yuanchao handing over the cigarettes, He Wei and He Xiao were a little stunned, it was the first time for them that the factory leader gave them cigarettes, and in front of them was not Jia Fan before, but the deputy director of the Nandu General Factory, much higher than Jia Fan in terms of level, I heard that this young leader who is not much older than them is still a top student of Beijing Normal University.

"Thank you...... Thank you for the leadership ....... The two brothers hurriedly took the cigarette and thanked him, Song Yuanchao's cigarette was a good cigarette, but it was much stronger than what they usually smoked, and the feeling of taking a sip was completely different.

"I'm just here today to talk about it first, don't be so restrained, just talk casually like friends. Our ages are similar, I have read your information, I am the same year as your eldest brother He Hua, and I am also an educated youth, and I went to the northwest at the beginning. Song Yuanchao said with Yan Yuese, when he said this, He Wei and He Xiao were slightly stunned, they didn't expect that Song Yuanchao was also a knowledgeable youth, and the world's knowledgeable youths were comrades-in-arms, and this sentence suddenly brought the relationship between the two sides closer.
