The second uncle, Zheng Chengye, went to the ministry for a one-day meeting the next day, and went to the train station early on the third day to take the bus back to the northeast.

After Zheng Zhendong saw off his second uncle, he rode his bicycle around the city.

I didn't go home at noon, so I ate a bowl of noodles at a roadside shop and continued to shop.

When passing by the big front gate in the middle of the afternoon, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, Zheng Zhendong had no choice but to get off his bicycle and push inside.

"Huh! Three masters, how have you changed? also made a living pulling foreign films, why did he take advantage of the school holiday to come here to tinker with a side hustle? ”

Zheng Zhendong pushed the bicycle, and when he saw the "Yan Bugui" who was working hard to explain, he couldn't help but ask jokingly.

"This comrade, you recognize the wrong person, I'm not your third master, my name is Qiu Spectrum, everyone calls me a filmmaker, and I have always relied on foreign films to make a living!"

Qiu Spectrum listened to Zheng Zhendong talking to himself, so he stopped to explain and distinguish with him.

"Mistaken person? No, I can't! Otherwise, this also looks like it, it's just carved out of a mold! Zheng Zhendong said with suspicion.

Qiu Spectrum said: "The world is full of wonders, there are really people who look similar to me, this is not surprising, you may still have relatives with my family!" ”

Zheng Zhendong could only believe this after hearing this, and then asked: "Lao Jia, this Comrade Qiu, do you know a person named Yan Bugui?" ”

Qiu Spectrum thought for a long time and replied: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it, and even this name is the first time I've heard of it!" ”

"Yan Bu is expensive, hey, salt is not expensive! How did you come up with that name? That's interesting! ”

Zheng Zhendong glanced at Qiu Spectrum speechlessly, but apologized in his mouth: "Comrade Qiu, I'm really sorry, I'm delaying you to do business, the main thing is that you and my three masters look a little alike!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay! Anyway, few people watched! ”

Qiu Spectrum waved his hand with a smile on his face and said, and then asked Zheng Zhendong again.

"This little comrade, what is your surname? Where did it come from? ”

Zheng Zhendong parked his bicycle and said, "Comrade Qiu, your surname is Zheng, Zheng Zhendong lives in Nanluoguxiang!" ”

"Comrade Xiao Zheng, hello! You said that you live in Nanluoguxiang, how can you have time to come to Qianmen Street and walk around without going to work? Qiu asked with a little curiosity.

Zheng Zhendong smiled unabatedly and said, "You don't have to go to work, I haven't graduated from secondary school yet, Comrade Qiu!" ”

"Disrespectful, disrespectful, it turns out that you are still a student, which is amazing! Forgive me for being clumsy, I really didn't see it! Qiu Spectrum arched his hand at Zheng Zhendong and said.

"You're polite, thanks to the good policy of the file, I can have a book to read, thank you!" Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said humbly.

Qiu Spectrum also hurriedly said: "Thank you, thanks to them, we ordinary people can live their lives!" ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Zheng Zhendong suddenly asked: "Comrade Qiu, do you live by pulling foreign films, why don't you make a living in other ways?" ”

"It's not that I look down on the business of pulling foreign films, but your job is really precarious, and I'm afraid life is not easy, right?"

When Qiu Spectrum heard Zheng Zhendong's words, he poured bitter water, and only listened to him: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, do you think I don't want to?" ”

"But I won't do anything else, I've been living on foreign films all my life, plus I'm getting older, what can I do?"

Zheng Zhendong carefully looked at Qiu Spectrum, looked at his little arms and legs, thin like a little firewood chicken cub, first ruled out the vigorous work, and then asked: "Comrade Qiu, are you literate?" ”

Although Qiu Spectrum was curious about why Zheng Zhendong asked this, he still replied: "I know so many baskets of Dou Dazi, what are you asking for?" ”

Zheng Zhendong smiled at Qiu Spectrum and said: "On the way over, I saw a notice posted at the door of the state-owned Sanliang store, which said Recruitment, you are carrying a large bag of grain in this situation, you estimate that you will not be able to do it, if you are literate and numeracy, you can go over to them to keep accounts and check the number or something, do you want to go over and take a look?" ”

Qiu Spectrum immediately said anxiously: "There is still such a good thing? Take me there! ”

After saying that, he didn't even bother to clean up the things of the guy who was eating, and urged Zheng Zhendong to leave.

"Comrade Qiu, why are you in a hurry? Let's pack up our things first! ”

Qiu Spectrum heard Zheng Zhendong say this, and hurriedly began to pack up his things, saying while cleaning up.

"Yes, yes, you see I forgot about it, I'm so excited, I'm so excited!"

Zheng Zhendong, who stepped forward to help him, saw that his things were cleaned up, and said, "Where is your home?" Let's put things back in first! ”

Qiu Spectrum waved his hand and said, "No, I'll put the things in the tavern first, and then I'll take them when I come back!" ”

After that, Qiu Spectrum took Zheng Zhendong and walked forward, came to the door of the tavern and knocked on the door, shouting: "Old man He, open the door!" ”

After a while, the door of the tavern opened, and a thin old man about 60 years old smiled when he saw Qiu Spectrum, and said, "It's a piece of master, I haven't seen you often lately, what are you busy with?" ”

"What else can I do? I'll do this, too! Qiu Spectrum opened the door, and was about to go inside with his things.

Old man He hurriedly stopped and said, "It's not that I said that the film, you can pull your foreign film well, why do you still bring the guy into my small shop?" No one here is watching your foreign film! ”

"Who's going to pull a foreign film from you? I have something to go out, so I can leave it here for a while, okay? Qiu Spectrum saw that Old Man He was stopping him, and said with an anxious face.

After listening to Qiu Spectrum's words, Old Man He withdrew the hand that was holding him back, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, why not, it's not okay for others to come, it's definitely no problem for you to come!" Who made you a filmmaker! ”

Zheng Zhendong nodded at Old Man He, and followed him into the tavern.

Because he didn't get off the board, with the sunlight refracted at the door, Zheng Zhendong saw that there were seven or eight broken tables and stools in the tavern, which was not a very large space.

There are two wine tanks in front of the seven-foot-long counter, and on the shelves behind the counter, there are three tiers of bottled wine.

The abacus, account books, pen and ink are all available on the counter.

Just when Zheng Zhendong was looking energetic, he only heard Qiu Spectrum shouting: "Comrade Zheng, let's go, go and come back quickly, and I'll invite you to drink when you come back!" ”

Zheng Zhendong nodded at him, and then walked outside the tavern.

nodded to Old Man He at the door, said hello, and then came outside.

"Old man He, I'll go first, what's the matter, we'll talk about it when I come back!" After Qiu Spectrum finished speaking, he followed Zheng Zhendong, who was pushing a bicycle, and wanted to walk forward.

The two walked out of Qianmen Street, and Zheng Zhendong rode a bicycle with Qiu Spectrum to the state-owned Sanliang store.

When he arrived at the door of the grain store, Zheng Zhendong stopped his bicycle, pointed to the recruitment notice at the door, and said: "Comrade Qiu, I didn't lie to you, don't you see it's written!" ”

"Yes, yes, you're right! That's true, Comrade Zheng! After reading the notice, Qiu Spectrum replied to Zheng Zhendong with a smile.

Zheng Zhendong parked his bicycle at the door, and then said: "Since it is true, then let's go in and inquire, can we recruit people?" ”

At this time, Qiu Spectrum felt that a broad avenue was in front of him, and after listening to Zheng Zhendong's words, he hurriedly said: "That's that, it's time to go in and inquire, then let's go in?" ”

After speaking, the two of them walked towards the grain store, and before they could speak, they heard the grain salesman behind the counter ask enthusiastically.

"Do the two comrades buy grain? Whatever food you want, just say, I'll get it for you. ”

Looking at the enthusiastic grain salesman, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said: "No, no, this comrade, we are not here to buy grain, I am tired, let me ask you, are we recruiting?" ”

Hearing that Zheng Zhendong and the others were not here to buy grain, the grain salesman comrade still smiled and said: "Yes, we are recruiting people here, I don't know if you want to work, or the uncle in the back?" ”

"He's looking for a job!"

"Okay, then you wait a minute, I'll go find the director and let him talk to you!"

After seeing Zheng Zhendong's answer, the grain salesman walked out of the counter and walked towards the office inside as he spoke.

After a while, the grain salesman came out again and said to the two: "Our director invites you in!" ”

Zheng Zhendong and Qiu Spectrum, under the guidance of the grain salesman, knocked on the office door.

"Two comrades, are you two looking for jobs? Sit down, sit down, sit down! ”

A man about 40 years old, dressed in a tunic suit, stood up from behind his desk and said enthusiastically.

"No, this leader, I'm not looking for a job, it's this Comrade Qiu next to me who is looking for a job!" While Zheng Zhendong sat down for a while, he hurriedly explained.

At this time, Qiu Spectrum also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's me looking for a job!" I wonder if you have a job here that suits me? ”

While pouring water for the two of them, the director of the grain store asked, "How many jobs do I have here, I don't know what you can do?" ”

"Thank you!"

Zheng Zhendong didn't wait for Qiu Spectrum to answer, first thanked the director of the grain store who poured the water, and then asked: "This leader, please inquire, what is your surname?" ”

"Don't have your surname Ma, you can just call me Lao Ma!" Director Ma put down the thermos and said with a smile.

"Director Ma, hello! Could you please help me introduce me, what do you do? Let this Comrade Qiu next to him see what he is suitable for! Zheng Zhendong stood up, shook hands with Director Ma of the grain store and said.

Director Ma warmly shook Zheng Zhendong's hand back and said, "This comrade, you are good!" Don't ask me what I do, I don't think you two have a weird relationship! ”

"How do you match his comrade? Aren't you familiar with it? ”

"Director Ma, you are really sharp-eyed, you can see this, admire and admire!" Zheng Zhendong said with admiration.

"I really don't know this Comrade Qiu well, we only met this afternoon!"

Director Ma of the grain store suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so that's what happened!" I said, why is this such a strange name! ”

"Sit down, sit down, sit down, let's talk!"

Zheng Zhendong looked at the owner of the horse who stretched out his hand to give up his seat, and sat down as he said.

Seeing Zheng Zhendong sit down, Director Ma asked again: "This little comrade, what is your surname?" Why did you just know each other, and you helped this Comrade Qiu? ”

"Director Ma, my name is Zheng Zhendong, when I passed by your grain store on a bicycle today, I saw a notice posted to recruit people, and I remembered it!"

"When I was at the front gate, I had a little misunderstanding with this Comrade Qiu, and I recognized him as an uncle in our yard, so we chatted for a while, and I found out that I recognized the wrong person!"

"Although I recognized the wrong person, but I also knew him, I saw that he lived by pulling foreign films, this hungry and full meal, I really couldn't bear it, so I remembered that your grain store recruited people, so I told him! You see? ”

Director Ma gave Zheng Zhendong a thumbs up and said, "Comrade Zheng, you are really this!" You are willing to lend a helping hand to people you don't know when you meet in Pingshui, which shows how high you usually do things for others! ”

"Director Ma, you have won the prize! Boy, I really don't deserve such a compliment! Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said humbly.

The two of you come and go, politely, Director Ma didn't wait for Zheng Zhendong and the two to ask, and said: "Comrade Zheng, just with such a good person as you, I won't hide it, our grain store now needs two warehouse clerks, to help us unload trucks, carry grain, etc. ”

"You also need an accountkeeper to record the situation of grain going out and going into storage, I don't know if this Comrade Qiu can read and count?"

When Qiu Spectrum heard this, he didn't wait for Zheng Zhendong to speak, and hurriedly said: "I know how to read, I know how to read, I can do this job!" ”

Seeing that Qiu Spectrum spoke by himself, Zheng Zhendong didn't say anything anymore, but Director Ma of the grain store got up and brought paper and pens, put them in front of Qiu Spectrum and said.

"Comrade Qiu, please write a few words and I'll take a look!"

Qiu Puyi picked up a pen and wrote dozens of words on the paper, and then handed it to Director Ma of the grain store.

Director Ma took it and read: "Speaking of which, Liu Bowen will repair our bJ, and the repair is the fourth of the Seven Imperial Cities outside the ninth and outer areas, and outside the back door, the bell and drum tower has been repaired!" ……”

After Director Ma finished reading, he carefully touched it, and then said with a serious face: "Comrade Qiu, your handwriting is okay, but what is this Liu Bowen, the Imperial City and the like in the future, try not to say anything in the future, these are the dregs of the times!" ”

Qiu Spectrum saw Director Ma's face change, immediately stood up, and replied respectfully: "Hey, hey! You say yes, you say yes! I'll pay attention later! ”

"Hmmm! Just sit down! ”

After Director Ma saw Qiu Spectrum's statement, he waved his hand to him and asked him to sit down.

"Comrade Qiu, I see that your handwriting is okay, you can come to our grain store to work, but there is no formal establishment, you can only work as a temporary worker!"

When Qiu Spectrum heard this, his face was a little disappointed, but he still said: "Temporary workers, just temporary workers, as long as you can mix a bowl of rice to eat!" ”

"Comrade Qiu, you can rest assured, we are now in a new era, and we will never let a common man starve to death!" Director Ma of the grain store replied sonorously.

Seeing that Director Ma was so confident in his future life, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but ask him: "Director Ma, this Comrade Qiu came to your grain store to work as a temporary worker, I don't know how much money I can get a month?" ”

After Zheng Zhendong asked, Qiu Spectrum also hurriedly looked at Director Ma, for fear that he would not hear clearly.

Director Ma of the grain store said proudly: "You can rest assured, Comrade Qiu came to our grain store to work as a bookkeeper, and we will give him a salary of 220,000 (yuan), although the money is not much, but it is definitely enough for a family of three to use daily!" ”

"By the way, Comrade Xiao Zheng, do you want to come to work in our grain store too?"

"No, no, Director Ma, I'm still in school, and I can't come out to work for the time being, thank you for your kindness!" Zheng Zhendong hurriedly excused himself.

As soon as Director Ma heard that Zheng Zhendong was still a student, he asked, "Comrade Xiao Zheng, you are still a student!" Don't know where to study? What do you plan to do in the future? ”

"Director Ma, I am studying secondary school in the Institute of Technology, as for what work I will do in the future, I will just follow the arrangement from above when the time comes!" Zheng Zhendong said lightly.

Director Ma nodded and said, "Yes, you have to listen to the arrangement, don't pick the fat and the thin in your work, I like your attitude very much!" ”

Zheng Zhendong smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "Director Ma, when can Comrade Qiu come to work?" Is there any other formalities to be done? ”

Director Ma nodded, showing a natural look, and then said: "You have to go through a formality, Comrade Qiu, tomorrow you go to the street household registration department to issue a certificate, I have to see if your background is innocent, and whether you have any experience in doing things with Japan!" ”

"After all, we are a state-run grain store, and those who have a bad background and experience as a traitor will not be hired, I hope you can understand!"

Zheng Zhendong hurriedly nodded in agreement, and said at the same time: "Understand, of course we understand, people with these experiences, don't say you don't need it, other employers have to consider it, otherwise you won't have to mess up!" ”

At this time, Qiu Spectrum suddenly asked: "Director Ma, my family used to have a little money, but it was almost defeated by my father when he was alive, and now there is only one set of yards left, I wonder if I can come to work in your grain store with my background?" ”

"Huh? I just heard you say, aren't you a foreign filmmaker? How could there be any other situation? Director Ma listened to Qiu Guangpu's words and asked with doubts.

After asking, he didn't wait for Qiu Spectrum to reply, and said again: "I have to check with the street office to see if you meet the conditions, it's not too early, it's not okay today, so let's come over tomorrow first, let's go to your street to ask!" ”

"Thank you so much, Director Ma, look at it, I'm really sorry to make trouble for you tomorrow!" Qiu Spectrum immediately stood up, held Director Ma's hand and said.

"Comrade Qiu, you don't have to be so polite, you are all serving the people, these are what I should do!" Director Ma said while shaking hands with Qiu Spectrum.

……

After the two exchanged polite words, Zheng Zhendong saw that the time was not early, got up and said, "Director Ma, it's not too early, let's not bother anymore and leave!" ”

Hearing that Zheng Zhendong was leaving, Director Ma didn't keep him, and said directly: "Well, okay!" Comrade Zheng, Comrade Qiu, then you go slowly, I'll send you out! ”

"Director Ma, you stay, stay! Don't be so polite! Zheng Zhendong looked at Director Ma who was sending him off, and hurriedly said.

Qiu Spectrum heard Zheng Zhendong say this at this time, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, Director Ma, you don't have to send us, we can just go out by ourselves!" ”

Director Ma didn't listen, insisted on sending Zheng Zhendong and the others to the door of the grain store, and shook hands with Zheng Zhendong and Qiu Spectrum respectively, and waited for the two of them to ride their bicycles and walk away, and then returned to the grain store.
