Chapter 344 He has been doing this job for so many years, why should he give it to others?
On June 61, 6, in order to implement the spirit of the Central Working Conference, the Jiangcheng Municipal Committee issued an "Emergency Notice on Rapidly Mobilizing Rural Labor to Return to Hometowns for Production."
Since 58, the city has had about 17.1 people move from rural areas to the city. Since early June, a widespread mobilization has begun to reduce the city's population.
After the notice was issued, the city concentrated its efforts on handling the return of workers from rural areas since 58. By the beginning of July, 7 workers had returned to rural areas.
From July to August, while continuing to mobilize workers from rural areas to return home, we began to mobilize urban residents and young and middle-aged people to go to the countryside for production, mobilize students from rural areas to return home, and reorganize enterprises, relocate factories, set quotas, reduce staff, streamline cadres who were transferred to other places, and organize retired people to go to the countryside for production...
Except for dual-income families, almost all the people from Zhoujiawan who moved to the city during the Great Leap Forward were persuaded to return home after the "Notice" was issued.
Some people didn't want to go back, so they tried to give gifts to the personnel chief of their unit, but it didn't work, so they went to Zhou Rong for help.
Zhou Rong refused all of them, saying that she had no way to defy the organization's policies, and asked everyone to return to their hometowns without worry and enter the city when the policies were relaxed.
Zhou Rong is a cadre and has a high prestige in the village. There will always be times when she needs help. No one dares to say anything unpleasant. Seeing that she is really unwilling to help, they can only return home helplessly...
Many of the Shen family's relatives had moved to the city during the Leap Forward and expansion in 58. They were unwilling to be persuaded to return to their hometown this time, and wanted Shen Chunheng and Qin Yanhua to negotiate and keep them.
Qin Yanhua said with embarrassment: "When you first came to the city, we agreed that we would only help you find a job, but we don't care whether you can stay or not, it all depends on you.
In the past two years, the supply in the city has been tight and many people have moved to the countryside. If you don’t have a city hukou, it is only a matter of time before you return to your hometown.
You should have saved a lot of money in the past few years. If you go back to the countryside, your life won't be that bad. When the policy is relaxed one day, it will be the same if you move to the city again."
A relative said: "We earn money alone to support the whole family, so we don't save any money. Even if we had money, we can't buy anything in the countryside!
I heard that the disaster in the countryside is very serious and many people have starved to death. If they send us back at this critical moment, won’t they be killing us?
We are relatives. You have a comfortable life in the city, you can't ignore us!"
Shen Chunheng: "It's not that we don't care, it's that we can't. Anyone who doesn't obey the organization's arrangements will be criticized, and serious cases will be brought to a meeting.
Before, the policy allowed you to go to the city to find a job, and we helped you every time. Now the government is in trouble and needs everyone to return to their hometown to build their hometown, so we should contribute our own efforts. "
A relative of the clan retorted: "Then why don't you go to the countryside?"
Qin Yanhua: "My son and daughter-in-law have gone to the countryside. Old Shen and I stayed behind because the unit hasn't notified us yet, and we also want to take care of our granddaughter. We have always strictly abided by the organization's policies. I hope you won't make things difficult for us."
Seeing that Shen Chunheng and Qin Yanhua refused to give in, everyone had no choice but to return home unwillingly. When they returned to Shenjia Village, they started to speak ill of the two, saying that they disregarded family ties and did not help people in need.
Xu Yingzi's grandson and Liu Yan's son came to the city early and attended night school. They were soon converted to full-time employees and married city wives. In recent years, they have also sent a lot of money and food and daily necessities home.
They were grateful for the help that Shen Chunheng's family had given them before. When they heard someone saying bad things about the Shen family, they would step forward to help defend them. They also scolded those people who returned to their hometown for being ungrateful, taking advantage of others and being ungrateful, doing things against their conscience, and knowing that they would be punished sooner or later.
The village has received books sent back by Shen Bohang many times. The children like them very much. After their interest in reading was aroused, their grades improved. Currently, there are several junior high school students and technical secondary school students.
The production team leader appreciates the Shen family's contribution to the village, but will also scold those who make up stories.
After being scolded and reprimanded, those people became much more honest, but some of them were still unhappy and felt that Shen Chunheng's family was heartless and ungrateful...
Yang Yaodi's family is in a big turmoil because of the issue of going to the countryside.
Cao Zhi is the only one in the Cao family who is a regular employee of the pickle factory. His father Cao Pengfei and older brother Cao Yong are both temporary workers at the timber factory. His mother Kong Furong and younger brother Cao Quan are unemployed.
Except Cao Zhi, everyone else meets the criteria for going to the countryside.
Kong Furong favored her youngest son Cao Quan and didn't want to go to the countryside herself, so she did ideological work with Cao Zhi, hoping that he would give the job to Cao Quan and then take Yang Yaodi to the countryside. As for the child, she would help take care of it.
Cao Zhi was unwilling, saying that he had done this job for so many years, why should he give it to others?
Kong Furong: "Is that someone else? He's your own brother! I asked someone to find your job for you, and it cost me two kilograms of meat and several kilograms of eggs!
In order to get you married, we took out all our belongings and borrowed a lot of money. It was only in the past few years after Dalian and Xiaolian got married that we slowly paid off the debt.
Because the family has no money, Xiaoyong has not yet started a family. You have taken so many benefits from the family, so you should make some contribution to the family.
I'm not asking you to do anything immoral, I'm just giving the job to your younger brother. This is your responsibility as the eldest brother!"
Cao Zhi snorted coldly, "Responsibility? All my wages from work over the years have been handed over except for a small amount for breakfast and cigarettes. I don't owe my family anything, and I have never heard of any eldest brother having the responsibility to support his younger brother.
If you favor your younger brother, just go and find a job for him yourself. Don't target me. I have to do my job alone!
Don't put the blame on me for Xiaoyong not getting married. He was dating someone before, and if you hadn't despised her poor family background and insisted on finding a good wife for Xiaoyong, and you couldn't afford a high betrothal gift, he would have been married a long time ago!"
Kong Furong: "You unfilial thing! Are you going to piss me off to death?! I don't care. Xiaoquan and I won't go to the countryside. You must give up your job."
Cao Zhi was too lazy to argue with his mother, so he ran outside to smoke and sulk.
Yang Yaodi didn’t want to go to the countryside either. After finding Cao Zhi, she whispered, “I heard someone say that if you go to the countryside, you can’t come back and you can only be a farmer. Moreover, the countryside has been severely affected by disasters and there is no food. If you go there, you will starve to death.
You have made a lot of contributions to the family over the years, but Mom has never seen it. Instead, I think Xiaoquan, who eats free meals at home, is better than you in every way. I really feel sorry for you."
Cao Zhi glanced at Yang Yaodi and said, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you think."
During these years of getting along, Cao Zhi discovered that although Yang Yaodi looked honest on the outside, she was actually more evil than anyone else. She always said bad things about his mother and even taught him how to hide his salary.
Some of his mother's actions were indeed excessive, and since hiding the money was beneficial to him, he did it.
Now his mother is forcing him to give up his job and go to the countryside to fend for himself in order to protect her younger brother. Don't blame him for disregarding the relationship between mother and son...
