Before the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is customary to paste couplets.

However, in '62, there were no ready-made printed couplets. I bought some red paper on the street and asked someone to write it, and of course, there was also a place to write couplets. You can go and ask for the couplet, saying that it is begging, that is, buying. But in this era, you can't say buy, you can only say begging, and giving money is also talking about the pen fee, not the money to buy couplets.

Otherwise, the person who wrote the couplet would have become a speculator to make the difference, and in these years, the paper of the couplet was also good and bad, the cheap one was divided into money, and the expensive one was generally bought by a wealthy person, and it was worth two or three cents.

Some poor people can't eat, and there are also people who don't need couplets for the New Year. Some of them are not separated, and if they want to post a pair in front of the main house.

This time, the Luo family didn't spend money to find outsiders to write couplets, they asked Zheng Xue to write them, and she had good calligraphy. But in fact, the money to buy a brush and ink is more than finding someone to write, but this brush and ink are bought, and you can use it in the future.

The family is busy in the kitchen. When Luo Cheng came back, he got a lot of vegetables out of the system, and if he didn't get them out in advance, he would be suspicious if he got them out again during the Chinese New Year.

At noon, it is boiled rice, scrambled eggs, vegetables, and the like. The chickens, ducks and geese brought will stew the goose tomorrow, and the goose will show Luo Cheng the gate of the courtyard for a month or two. I still brought it back to my hometown during the New Year, and I will put it in the pot tomorrow and stew the goose in an iron pot.

But in fact, there is no such way to eat in the south, and the north is called iron pot stewed goose, and corn tortillas are pasted on the side of the cauldron to eat. In the south, it is simply a stewed goose, but this year there are geese to eat, this is meat, no matter how you eat it, it is delicious.

Luo Wen asked the soldiers to call the aunt and uncle, their children's marriage could not be delayed, if they couldn't negotiate, they would give an answer to that side as soon as possible, and if they could do it, they would also give them a rule. Basically, if you say yes, you will be able to do things immediately during the Chinese New Year.

And this time the uncle came quickly, and he lived on the streets of the town, and the distance between the two streets was not fast. Uncle Luo Wu brought his second son Luo Qiang over, how can Luo Qiang say that he is not so short that it is exaggerated, he should be more than one meter five and a half. But on the side of the Luo family's relatives, this is considered short. Looks, how to say it, it's actually not ugly, but the face shape is a little long.

But if you look closely, it's not actually a big long face, but a face that doesn't match your figure. Let's put it this way, if Luo Qiang sits in front of the table and talks to everyone, only the upper half is exposed, everyone will never see that he is just an individual of about 1.55 meters, just like King Kong Lori, a Lori, if you only look at her face, you will not think that her muscles are more developed than men.

After the uncle came to Luo Cheng's house, he first said hello to his father briefly, and he was enthusiastic about Luo Chengke. The director of the automobile factory in the city is still his own nephew, and he really gives him a face.

At this meeting, Uncle Luo Wu told Luo Cheng about Luo Qiang's family affairs, in fact, the uncle originally wanted to ask Luo Wen to borrow some food, and now that his daughter-in-law is easy to find, he will do Luo Qiang's affairs during the Chinese New Year this year. I know that Luo Qiang's image is a little worse, but there are more families who have not eaten in many places in other towns. Even if you don't look for someone from another town, this woman who fled from the famine is not decent to be thin, but she can raise it, and it's okay.

But isn't there a better girl to choose now, the matchmaker introduced a girl from the Liu family to his family, who looks okay, and looks like she can work and give birth. The uncle and aunt both like the girl of the Liu family, and the girl is not short, one meter five eight, this year, a woman is not short if she is one meter fifty-eight.

Of course, the uncle is not embarrassed by Luo Cheng, after all, the condition proposed by the other party is to work, which is not a matter of a few catties of grain and a few dollars. But if the other party doesn't mention such conditions and is willing to marry Luo Qiang, it would be strange.

Before Luo Cheng could say anything, the uncle said, if this thing can't be done, let Luo Qiang change to a girl. Those who flee the famine, raise one, and it is not bad.

"Uncle, this work is easy for me, and this time I called you over to discuss this matter. Doesn't the Liu family just want Qiangzi and the girl to have a job, it's not difficult to arrange work. But the difficult thing is the place to live, if it was a few years earlier, it would be easy, do you know that the city is now implementing the urban population reduction policy? ”

"Where do I know the city's policies, Chengzi, let's just talk about what it is."

When Luo Cheng heard his uncle's answer, he didn't go around with him, and directly told him about the policies in the city. That is, in order to ensure the output of grain, after five or eight years, even if they were regular workers, they were dismissed and returned to their hometowns to farm. Of course, it's not like there was no one left. Some skilled workers still stayed in the city without exception, but most of the rural people who went to the city before did unskilled work, and there were a few who could learn technology and were willing to work hard.

So if you go to the car factory, the work is well arranged, but the place to live cannot be arranged. He only has a miscellaneous courtyard and three rooms in the city, and he can't rent an additional apartment if he wants to.

Although he will be assigned to the compound room of the staff building next year, there will be a lot of rooms, but Luo Cheng is also cautious. After the New Year, he has someone by his side, how could he be stupid enough to take the initiative to make some obstacles.

There is no place to live, what can be done to work, and living in the factory is not allowed now. Even if Luo Cheng agrees, it is a violation, it's okay if people don't report it, once they report it, they will be criticized and educated to some extent, and they still can't live in the back. In particular, if you live in a factory building, you can't register in the neighborhood office, you can't register, and you are a black household in the city, and if you go out and are found out, not only will you have to be repatriated, but you may be in the town, and some leaders in the town will come to educate you at that time.

Anyway, in these days, it is really very difficult for rural people to switch from agriculture to non-agriculture and eat commercial grain. The only formal channel is to study to become a high school and secondary school student. If you can become a college student, it will cause a sensation in the whole township. In addition, it is to be a soldier, and it cannot be an ordinary soldier, because if a rural person is discharged from the army, the most he will pay is a little discharge fee, and then return to the countryside to continue farming. Only after the people in the city are discharged from the army will they be given priority in the assignment of work. And the so-called priority is only the priority arrangement in the neighborhood office, not that the work must be arranged. It's also going to be arranged.

If a rural person wants to become a soldier and become an officer or soldier, he must at least be a platoon commander.

And when a rural woman says that she marries someone and marries in the city, she is only living in the city, but she is actually still a rural person.

In the last case, that is, Luo Cheng is like this, relying on connections to enter the city. First of all, in the form of taking refuge with relatives, at least there is a place to stay in the city. Then they have to arrange to work, and rural people can only be recruited into the factory in a non-standard form. As I said before, those who enter the factory like this, even the work clothes and hand-in-hand in the factory, in fact, do not have it, and they have to rely on the transfer from the factory.

And now it is the welfare of the automobile factory, if it is other factories, recruit a rural non-standard try. He didn't eat a ration for dinner, and if the average relative was not strong, he really didn't want to provoke his relatives in the countryside to arrange work.

But in fact, there is one best way to solve it, and that is adoptive. Rural people pass their children to relatives in the city, and this kind of adoption is to raise their children as children, and the hukou can fall in. But generally speaking, people in the city have no children, otherwise they have children, what if they are finally assigned a job quota for their working years, and to whom.

"Chengzi, in that case, is this something impossible? If so, you can forget it, it's not that your cousin doesn't help you, but it's not easy to help, and you'll let the matchmaker help you find one later. ”

"Hmm~~."

Luo Qiang is a little stuffy, except for calling people at the beginning, he only had a word for half a day. However, many rural people are actually more honest and introverted, and some people are nervous.

"Uncle, Qiangzi, I haven't finished my sentence yet. In fact, it is not difficult to solve the matter of hadrons, but the difficulty is that it is troublesome at the beginning. At least I don't have the capacity to arrange too many people at the moment, and there has to be a charter for this. I also have to solve the affairs of my aunt's family Yueyue. Now you have something to do with your aunt's family, and in the future, what about your uncle. My sister-in-law's child is still young, so I don't need to think about it. But what about my uncle, what if he also asks to come to the door? ”

For his own uncle, or others, Luo Cheng didn't want to hide it. He had to explain the difficulty of going to work in the city first, not that he was unwilling to help everyone, but that his ability was limited. And it takes time.

Why do you say that it takes time, for example, Xiaoyu soldiers have become regular workers, and they can be separated. When the time comes, they can also arrange a house, and the vacant house can be borrowed to relatives. Even the house arranged for Xiaoyu and them has more rooms, and they can also let relatives borrow their side. But the cycle is too long, not two or three years, Xiaoyu and they don't want to turn positive.

The only person who can quickly turn into a regular is Bingzi, because after letting him learn to drive a forklift, he will get a work certificate in the future, and turn into a regular worker in the form of skills, so that he doesn't have to simply stay up for time.

And now there is only one way to solve the work of relatives for Luo Cheng, and that is the cooperative in Longjin Town. The work in the cooperative is composed of personnel from the town unit and personnel dispatched by the automobile factory, so the salary and benefits of one unit are two teams.

For example, the financial accountant arranged by the automobile factory, her salary and benefits are all paid by the automobile factory, rice, flour, fish and all kinds of things, in fact, there are a lot of them. As for Luo Cheng's father, his salary was paid by the town commune, and he belonged to the public officials in the town. This Chinese New Year, I also got a little pork from the pigs raised in the brigade.

Officially, because of this situation, in fact, how many people are arranged to work in the cooperative, the town will not interfere with how the automobile factory arranges. Anyway, each has its own salary in terms of wages, and your car factory arranges a hundred people, and it has nothing to do with the town. But what can be arranged appropriately bloated cannot be completely unreasonable.

In other words, if you want to work, you can arrange to go to the cooperative, but the number of people cannot be too many, and the entire cooperative cannot be Luo Cheng's relatives.

Now Luo Cheng's charter is very simple, give a few places, and when the time comes, gather these relatives who are relatively close, and you will discuss and solve it yourself. Throw the problem at you, in this way, the number of places is not enough, or someone will ask for it later, it really can't be arranged, there is also an explanation.

However, as long as the cooperatives in the town develop well, the scale is bigger, and more people are needed, people will definitely be arranged. But development takes time, if you have the ability to solve the housing problem in the city by yourself, Luo Chengcheng will arrange it for you directly, and if you can't solve it, you can only wait. If the cooperative can't develop, wait for Xiaoyu and them to become regular workers in the future.

It didn't take long for the aunt to bring her eldest daughter Wang Yue over, and her uncle Wang Lin also came. Now the eldest aunt Luo Juan is at her uncle's house, the rocker is hard, she has the support of her mother's family, and her father Luo Wen also arranged for her to feed the pigs to earn work, so this income is not less than that of her uncle.

And as soon as Wang Yue, the eldest daughter of the aunt's family, saw Luo Cheng, she obediently called her cousin. is not as introverted as Luo Qiang, a man.

Luo Cheng also asked about the situation of his aunt's family, how to say it, people in these years have gone on a blind date, in fact, there is nothing about love at first sight. It's actually easy to look at the right eye, just don't be disgusted. And until you agree to the official treatment, you can't know who the other party is. And if you agree to deal with the object, in fact, as long as you don't have a corrupt character and find some minor problems, you can't deal with it, and you will be gossiped about.

So Luo Cheng asked his cousin Wang Yue, she actually couldn't say anything, she just felt okay, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad, so she could only listen to the matchmaker's introduction. The matchmaker said that the man was okay, from the county seat, but he didn't have a job. It is normal for young people to be unemployed nowadays, and if they have a job, how can people be willing to come and talk to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue is an authentic image of a rural girl, at most, compared to a rural girl, she has passed. But in Luo Cheng's eyes, the aunt's daughter and the sister-in-law's daughter are not good-looking. My sister-in-law's daughter is still young, and generally speaking, little girls are good-looking, but Luo Cheng still thinks it's not good-looking, and I just hope that my sister-in-law's daughter can change into a girl.

However, in this era, the general appearance of domestic women is much worse than that of later generations. So in Luo Cheng's eyes, it may not be good, but in the eyes of others, it is actually good.

For example, Luo Cheng's sister, who has been in the city for more than two months, has a better complexion, and her body is a little fleshy, and she is still whiter. But in Luo Cheng's eyes, it was just a passing moment, and in the eyes of others, such as uncles and aunts, they all praised them for their good looks, like girls in the city.

If they are all good-looking, then what is Zheng Xue like this.

What is it, anyway, when Zheng Xue was serving tea to his uncle, Luo Qiang, this kid, didn't dare to look at it anymore. Like the girl who came out of the painting, how can there be a fairy in my cousin's house.

At first, everyone thought that this was Luo Cheng's object, but I had heard that the object Luo Cheng was looking for in the city was a female soldier. Literary and artistic soldiers are also soldiers, and the image of brain supplement is completely different from Zheng Xue. Fortunately, I only found out what was going on when I asked.

But since she is not Luo Cheng's object, this girl is a real water spirit, if ~~ forget it, he is not worthy.

Wang Yue's affairs are different from those of the uncle's family, but they have to be said well. Don't look at it because my cousin is married to someone in the city now, but if it's just her, the aunt speaks, in fact, she can still be arranged to go to the city and live with Xiaoyu and them, at most the problem of adding a bed.

As long as Wang Yue works honestly in the automobile factory for a few years in the future, Luo Cheng can make him a person who eats commercial grain and regular workers in the city, she is only sixteen now, and she is still virtual, as big as poetry. In the city, people wanted to introduce Xiaoyu and Shishi to Luo Cheng, not to mention that Wang Yue was still talking about the county town now.

Therefore, Luo Cheng told his aunt and uncle more simply, don't look down on your own family too much. It's okay to find a partner, and you must be optimistic about the man on his side. People are obviously from the relationship between Aunt Tu and Luo Cheng, but the relationship between Tu is no problem, blind date, you always have to do something with each other.

But what Luo Cheng means is that don't think that the other party is from the county seat, and some things have to be passed. If you want to figure this, next year, when Luo Cheng finishes dealing with the matter at hand, he will let Wang Yue also go to work at the Nghe An City Automobile Factory, if you want to find a partner, you can find it in the city, it is better than the county. Of course, if the person he is talking about now is really good, he will assume that he has not said anything.

As soon as Luo Cheng said this, his aunt and uncle were really silent. Yes, the county seat is good, but the daughter only lived in the county seat at most when she got married, and it is a fact that the city people look down on the rural people. Because if you get married, you have to eat their rations, and if you have a child, you still follow your mother's household registration, and you are still a rural person.

People are willing to marry Wang Yue, blind dates are similar to trading, buying and selling is not cost-effective, people are really willing to suffer.

This is the first work to be solved by Luo Cheng, and then Wang Yue's household registration, I'm afraid I still have to find Luo Cheng. is not Luo Cheng, the other party is a county household registration, and it is easy to turn positive. But Wang Yue's words, even if he has worked for three years, it doesn't matter, he can't turn positive. If you can't turn positive, you still can't settle down.

"Chengzi, what you said is true, even if she finds a partner in Yueyue, you are willing to take her to work in the city next year?"

"Wang Lin, what are you talking about, what my nephew said, it will fool me, you person, what kind of heart."

Hearing Luo Cheng's words, the eldest uncle asked with doubts. But after the aunt heard the eldest uncle speak like this, the anger came up directly, not looking at someone beside her, so she almost didn't move. What do you mean, your eldest nephew is so kind, you dare to question it. My eldest nephew is the director of the factory, a person who has studied in high school and served as a soldier, you are only a few pounds and a few taels, and you still question my eldest nephew, even if you are a husband and wife, this face will be turned over to you in person.

"Aunt, uncle just casually asked, what are you doing with this anger. But I said that I can put this, no matter whether Yueyue's family affair is successful or not, she will go to the city to find Xiaoyu and them after the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival. I have something to do when I go on a long trip after the year, and when I come back, I will arrange for her to go to work. ”

As soon as Luo Cheng said this, his uncle was very excited, but he was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he didn't dare to speak up in front of his aunt.

And since Luo Cheng wants to make this matter into a charter, he naturally has to inform other relatives. Luo Cheng simply asked the soldiers to have lunch and called their uncle and sister-in-law. Even Luo Cheng told his mother that she should go and call her uncle, second uncle and aunt in the afternoon. Anyway, these are the ones who are more close, as for the other Luo family cousins with the same surname, Luo Cheng can't take care of it now, and if the business develops more in the future, there may be opportunities.

Those relatives, at present, can only rely on their father, Luo Wen, the director of the cooperative, to take care of them when they arrange work. At most, it is to earn more work, and it is impossible to take care of the rest in the short term.
