Chapter 202 Railway Bureau
Speaking of Lu Mingxi.
Lu Yuanqing was also very worried!
There is currently a nationwide trend of sending educated youth to the countryside, which is clearly due to the overpopulation in cities and the shortage of job opportunities.
This is what led to the group of educated youth being sent to the countryside.
This has led to the fact that finding work in the city is becoming increasingly difficult!
Zhao Zhongcai's meaning was also very clear: no matter what, Lu Mingxi was a vocational school graduate, and if he couldn't be assigned a job outside, he might as well come back to the village.
Anyway, the bamboo ware factory is short of people!
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "She's already been assigned a job! Both she and Cheng Xia have been assigned jobs!"
Zhao Zhongcai was surprised, "Not bad! Xiao west and the others are really amazing!"
Having seen the outside world, he felt it was a pity to return to the village!
Lu Yuanqing shook his head helplessly, "What's so great about it! It's just so-so!"
Zhao Zhongcai patted him on the shoulder with amusement and laughed, "You're just showing off!"
Lu Yuanqing felt helpless, but no one knew the truth in his heart!
He wasn't showing off at all!
You know, if Zhao Zhongcai could think of something, how could he not think of it!
Knowing that Lu Mingxi was about to graduate, he was concerned about her inability to find a job, so he called her early on and told her not to worry, she could always come back to the village!
Their village is now just as good as the factories in the city! Their monthly wages might even be higher than theirs!
Lu Mingxi agreed readily! In the blink of an eye, he returned to school and somehow managed to send a telegram back a few days later.
The telegram only mentioned two things!
One thing is certain: her and Cheng Xia's jobs are sorted out, so there's no need to worry!
Another person wants to borrow some money from him! He'll switch jobs after he gets a new one!
When Lu Yuanqing received the telegram, it was like a bolt from the blue.
How could he not worry about such a vague explanation?
Lu Yuanqing immediately took the money and hurriedly went to the city.
Finally, we figured things out!
As for my job, it was Lu Mingxi who helped me find it!
Lu Mingxi could still clearly remember the expression on Lu Yuanqing's face when he heard about this decades later!
Then, the reason for borrowing money became clear: it was to buy a job!
Lu Yuanqing's complexion improved a little!
He had just breathed a sigh of relief after handing over the money decisively and seeing the work certificate in place, when he saw the classmate who had helped him give Lu Mingxi that kind of expression—well, how to put it—Lu Yuanqing said he could never make that kind of face.
That disgusting sight almost made him choke!
Anyway, things have come to this point, and Lu Yuanqing has nothing more to say.
Lu Mingxi and Cheng Xia also found jobs smoothly, so he had nothing to worry about!
"What kind of factory did they work in? Is it hard work? I'm telling you! The factories in the city aren't anything special. They might not even earn as much as our bamboo ware factory each year."
"Why go all that way just to be bullied? You might as well go back to the village."
Zhao Zhongcai is now someone who can hold his head high wherever he goes.
He was no longer the person who would act timidly and subserviently when visiting the commune because his own production team was the poorest!
Well, it wasn't just him!
The other villagers also felt very confident when they went out!
Lu Yuanqing sighed, "This is what money feels like!"
"It's not a big factory, and it's not hard work. The two of them have been assigned to the railway bureau!" Lu Yuanqing said.
Zhao Zhongcai was overjoyed for them, exclaiming, "Wow, these are great jobs!!"
Lu Yuanqing shrugged.
"A train attendant from the railway bureau!"
Working in a factory workshop is very hard!
If Lu Mingxi and Lu Yuanqing end up finding those kinds of jobs, Lu Yuanqing might even want them to go back to the village!
Lu Yuanqing didn't want them to be trapped in the countryside for the rest of their lives.
Boys grow up to start their own families, and girls grow up to get married.
If I come back, I'll be too old, and I'll have to consider these things.
Lu Yuanqing really didn't want them to go through all that hard work to get out of school, only to have to come back in the end.
He wasn't complaining about anything. After all, nowadays, the people of Shihua Village, apart from the necessary living conditions, are almost as wealthy as city dwellers!
However, what Lu Yuanqing least wanted was for them to return to their familiar places, slowly get married, have children, and have their changed mindsets subtly reintroduced, spending their days chatting and gossiping outside of work, living a monotonous life like going between three points!
Working at the railway bureau is a great idea! It's worth the money!
……
After chatting and resting for a while, Zhao Zhongcai called on the educated youth to continue their journey!
Lu Yuanqing remained as taciturn as he pulled the oxcart.
Zhao Zhongcai continued to walk and chat with the educated youth!
"Captain, we're all working hard for the country's development, there's no need to be so polite. We should unite as one, regardless of background. Although we don't know anything about farming, we'll learn diligently in the future!"
Although Lu Yuanqing didn't respond, his ears were certainly listening!
That's a very insightful statement; it comes from that person named Ren Jianhua!
The other three, although they echoed the sentiment, still had a hint of arrogance on their faces!
Putting aside the question of whether they were easy to get along with, the appearance of these four people, especially the male educated youth named Wu Cisheng, was really handsome.
Lu Yuanqing suddenly felt worried about the eligible unmarried young people in the village!
……
As soon as I entered the village, villagers surrounded me!
"The captain and Yuan Qing are back!"
"These are the educated youth? They're really good-looking!"
"He's wearing a military uniform, isn't he? If the kid sees him, he'll definitely cause trouble again!"
"Hahaha!!!"
"Oh my, that kid looks so handsome..."
"I heard they're all from big cities..."
Chattering away, Lu Yuanqing decisively handed over the job of driving the oxcart to Zhao Zhongcai and went home!
The villagers gathered around like they were watching a monkey, chattering amongst themselves, wondering when they would be able to settle down!
Anyway, once we're back in the village, we don't need to worry anymore!
Last winter, the vast majority of villagers in Shihua Village rebuilt their houses.
After learning that the educated youth were coming, Zhao Zhongcai had already figured out how to arrange things for them.
There are plenty of old houses in the village!
Wu Cisheng and his group did not expect that the village they arrived in would be in such good condition.
After they arrived and learned about the situation, they realized how lucky they were to have come to Shihua Village instead of being assigned to other places!
Just the place where I live.
There were no educated youth settlements in other villages. At first, they lived with the villagers and argued every day over trivial matters.
Later, the village even built a settlement for educated youth, but it wasn't very big. As more and more educated youth went to the countryside, several people were crammed into one room.
And the houses they live in are all spacious enough for one person per room!
Wu Cisheng and his fellow villagers don't yet understand the meaning of this good life. They are currently facing a group of villagers who treat them like monkeys. Although they haven't shown any outward disdain, they are extremely disgusted with them in their hearts.
