Chapter 454: The County Labor Bureau Is Recruiting Workers!

November 1, 1979.

Thursday.

Western Guangdong.

Shijiao Commune, Lian County, Zhancheng District.

A place called Chenjia Village Production Team.

Since the beginning of this year, Chenjia Village has just distributed land to households. Each household has been uniformly distributed land by drawing lots according to the number of adults and the total land area of ​​the production team.

In total, in the Chenjia Village Production Team, each adult in a family has only about five mu of land.

In addition, the thresher (rice thresher), buffalo and other tools that originally belonged to the production team were also drawn by lot and distributed to each household. If they were lucky, a family could get a thresher or a buffalo.

Those villagers who were allocated threshers could thresh rice by foot when it was time to harvest rice.

Villagers who did not draw threshers could only borrow threshers from other villagers, or thresh rice in the most primitive way, but it was very hard and it was easy for a lot of mud and sand to seep into it.

There are also villagers who have drawn a buffalo and can use it to plow the fields. If they don't have one, they can only rely on the labor of their family to dig the fields with a hoe, which is still quite hard.

For the villagers of Chenjia Village now.

Every household has ten or eight brothers, which is normal.

Those with fewer brothers may have five or six.

In this era, before the land was distributed to households, people simply couldn't eat enough. Just after the land was distributed to households, with low labor and extremely low rice production, people still couldn't eat enough.

Because almost half, or even two-thirds of the grain needs to be handed over to the state as public grain.

The rest is their own.

The public grain handed over to the state must meet the requirements. If it can't be handed over, then you can only pay money to buy the public grain from others.

In this case, most people's families are still very poor.

So why are there no other jobs?

Don't even think about it!

Except in big cities, such as Yangcheng and Zhancheng, where there are many state-owned enterprises and many citizens can work in state-owned enterprise factories, in rural areas, especially remote rural areas like western Guangdong, there is no need to think about having a formal job.

In other words, after a month, not only can you not eat enough, but your monthly income may not even be one or two yuan.

If you have skills, you can make some woven products, such as bamboo products, and sell them on the streets of Shijiao Commune to exchange for some money.

If you don’t have these skills, then don’t even think about it.

In addition, there are some special skills, such as folk Taoist priests who perform rituals and fasts, who also have some income.

However, when everyone is very poor, the best life may be the production team leader or accountant, who has a much higher income, at least the family can eat a lot more.

As for studying?

There are still many families who support primary school.

Going to junior high school, in the case of a two-year system, that is, graduating in the second year of junior high school. Even if there are high schools, or even the college entrance examination is resumed, many families may not even have five yuan at home.

Chen Yajiu's family in Chenjia Village has six sons and one daughter.

Among these children, the daughter is the second.

She is good at studying and went to Shijiao Middle School in Shijiao Commune.

After finishing the two-year junior high school, it means that you either graduate or continue to take exams.

Now you can take the high school exam or the normal school in the county.

If you can get into the normal school, you can be a primary school teacher after graduation.

In this era, if an ordinary person can become a people's teacher, it is also a stable job and very glorious in the village.

Chen Yajiu's daughter Chen Xiulan knows the family situation. Now there are many brothers in the family, and it is difficult to even have enough food. If she wants to go to high school, her family cannot support her, so she wants to try to get into the normal school in the county, so that she can become a teacher after graduation.

When she learned from the class teacher that the registration fee and examination fee would cost 3 yuan, Chen Xiulan went back to ask Chen Yajiu for money to register for the exam.

3 yuan?

For Chen Yajiu, what is this concept?

This is definitely a huge sum of money.

He has no income at all in a year, and his family has to support so many people. After paying the public grain, there is not much grain left. At present, rice is less than 10 cents per pound (rice sold privately in rural areas is cheaper than in cities), which is equivalent to the price of 30 to 40 pounds of rice.

Where can he get 3 yuan?

What if he registers for the exam and fails, wouldn’t the 3 yuan registration fee and exam fee be gone at once?

Even if he passes, where will he get the money to pay her tuition?

"Xiu Lan, Dad really doesn't have the money to register for you to take the exam."

Chen Yajiu looked at his second daughter Chen Xiu Lan helplessly and said.

He has six sons and one daughter, and he still dotes on this daughter.

However, in Chen Yajiu's mind, what is the use of studying in this era, especially for women. When they reach a certain age, they have to get married.

As for the iron rice bowl of being a teacher, he has never thought about it.

It was from that time that Chen Xiu Lan knew that she could only give up this exam because of her family's poverty.

That day, Chen Xiulan took back all the books from school and did not sell them, but she did not review them again.

That very night.

Chen Xiulan's mother Lin Yingmei went out to chat with her neighbor and suddenly heard a piece of news that surprised her.

That is, the Labor Bureau of Lian County is recruiting people.

Although this job is not a permanent job, I heard that as long as you sign up and are recruited, you will get a salary of 20 yuan per month.

A monthly salary of 20 yuan!

For the current western Guangdong, Lian County, and even the rural areas of the country, it is definitely a huge income.

The eldest son of Chen Yajiu and his wife is called Chen Zhida. He is now 20 years old. After finishing junior high school, there is no job at home. Originally, I wanted to introduce him to the job of Changshan Farm through connections.

It is said that after working for a long time, after being converted to a regular employee, you can join the farm, become a farmer, and enjoy the benefits of a farmer. It is also a permanent job. When Chen Zhida went there, he found that he was going to cut rubber for the farm.

Most of the time, rubber cutting has to go to work in the early morning, and many times it is done alone.

Chen Zhida went to work with relatives on the farm a few times, and he had to go alone. He found that he often had to go to the rubber forest with many graves. He was afraid and ran back the next day.

A few years later, he followed an uncle to learn how to make furniture, which was considered as learning a craft.

However, he followed his uncle to learn this craft for a few years, but he didn't learn anything and didn't make any money, so he ran back.

It's not that he didn't want to learn, but he was really not interested, and his uncle couldn't teach him anything.

At the age of 20, Chen Zhida was already at the age of marriage. However, Chen Yajiu and his wife had no money at all, and the couple had no choice.

Now, when Lin Yingmei heard the news, she immediately ran back to discuss with her husband Chen Yajiu and asked Chen Zhida to apply for the job at the Lian County Labor Bureau.

Chen Yajiu agreed of course.

Now Chen Zhida can't do anything at home, and he has to take a portion of food to support him. It's better to let him do a job with a monthly salary of 20 yuan to improve the conditions of the family. When he makes money, he will have money to get married.

Nowadays, in this era, there are many men and women of marriageable age, and many families are very poor, which does not mean that there is no need for gifts, or that money is not needed when getting married.

That night.

"Zhida, the county labor bureau is hiring now, 20 yuan per month, do you want to go?"

Chen Zhida didn't even have to think about it, of course he would go.

The most important thing is, when he learned that his second sister Chen Xiulan couldn't even take out the 3 yuan exam fee and had to give up the exam and become a teacher, he felt that staying in the countryside was really a dead end, and it would be best if he could get a job.
