All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 770 771. People gather together, a new starting point

After Yue Wenxuan finished eating two buns, Mother Lu personally poured him a cup of hot water and placed it in front of him.

After drinking half a cup of hot water, Yue Wenxuan began to talk about the purpose of his visit today: "Songlin, I came here today because I have good news to tell you."

"Good news, what good news?"

"You probably haven't found a job since you returned to the city, right? I remember that you were able to assemble a radio by yourself when you were in middle school. I have a similar job here. Are you interested?"

Lu Songlin stood up suddenly and said excitedly: "Of course I'm interested! For someone like me, it's good enough to have a job, how can I dare to be picky?

After saying this, he said unconfidently, "You are not kidding me, are you? With my background, the leaders of the recruiting unit will never hire me after seeing my political review form."

"Others don't want you, but I do." Yue Wenxuan then began to introduce in detail, "Our street is about to set up a Red Star Maintenance Department. I am the director of this maintenance department, and the right to recruit workers is in my hands. I think you are quite suitable. As for political review, our maintenance department does not have this item at all."

"I can actually get a job! This is such a big surprise, I feel like I'm dreaming." This is simply a blessing from heaven, Lu Songlin was very excited, "You just returned to the city and you became the director of the maintenance department, how are you so amazing?"

"Our Red Star Repair Department is just a newly established small collective shop under the street. Our main job is to repair watches, radios, and various electrical appliances. There are only a few people in total, so don't hold your expectations too high."

Before Lu Songlin could speak, Lu's mother said in surprise: "What's wrong with a small collective shop? As long as I can have a job, it's fine.

After Songlin returned to the city, he couldn't find a job. Even when he went out to do odd jobs, he was looked down upon. Later, he had no choice but to go out and pick up scraps.

He himself didn't think there was anything wrong, but as his mother, I saw it and it hurt my heart.

I don't ask for anything else, and I don't dare to have too high hopes. As long as he can have a job, even if he earns less, even if the work is harder and more tiring, I will be very satisfied.

You don’t know, every time I see those people looking down on Song Lin with contempt and ridicule, my heart feels like it’s being cut by a knife.”

"Mom, please stop talking and wipe your tears." Lu Songlin held his mother's hand and comforted her. "What happened in the past is in the past. I will have a job soon, right? And it's my favorite job, repairing radios. This is simply pie in the sky."

"Brother Wenxuan, how much does my brother earn every month? Is it also 18 yuan?" Lu Xiaomei asked curiously.

It was just a newly established collective small shop. Mother Lu didn't think it could make so much money, so she quickly interrupted:

"A formal apprentice in a large factory only makes 18 yuan a month. Your brother is lucky to have a job. We don't dare to have such high expectations. A few yuan a month will be enough."

"It's just a few dollars." Lu Xiaomei was a little disappointed.

Yue Wenxuan smiled and said, "Both of you are wrong. The monthly salary of ordinary apprentices in our Red Star Maintenance Department is indeed 18 yuan.

But I plan to let him take on the position of deputy director concurrently, in addition to the 18 yuan per month, there will be a 5 yuan position allowance. "

"Songlin doesn't know anything, how can he be qualified for the position of deputy director? You can just let him be an ordinary apprentice."

Mother Lu was surprised and happy, but also a little worried. "I know you two have a good relationship, but you don't have to take care of him too much, so as not to let others gossip. Besides, a salary of 18 yuan a month is already a high salary that I dare not even think about. I dare not even dream of a leadership position."

“Our maintenance department has just been established, and Songlin is the first employee in our maintenance department. He also knows how to repair and assemble radios, so he is considered a technical talent. If he serves as the deputy director, no one will gossip about him.

By the time other people join the company, this will have become an established fact, and other people will have no objections. "Yue Wenxuan explained briefly.

The reason why Lu Songlin was able to serve as the deputy director was firstly because of Yue Wenxuan’s trust, and secondly because of his professional skills.

Among the several people that Yue Wenxuan was going to recruit, Lu Songlin was the only one who could repair and assemble radios, so Yue Wenxuan would of course pay attention to him.

"I never thought Songlin would be so lucky. Not only does he have a decent job, but he also earns a high salary. He can have such a job. I don't have to worry about him in the future." Lu Songlin's mother was very pleased and was sincerely grateful to Yue Wenxuan.

"Then you have to choose a suitable partner for him in the future. We can't agree to one with poor conditions." Yue Wenxuan joked.

Mother Lu did think so. "I do have this idea, but I don't know if there is any good girl who would like our Songlin."

Although Mother Lu knew that her family's conditions were too poor in all aspects, in her mind, her son was always the best in the world, so she naturally hoped to find a good wife for her son.

“Take your time, I believe our maintenance department will get better and better, and Songlin’s salary will get higher and higher.

There is also the matter of food rationing that I want to talk to you about.

The street office has secured a monthly food ration of 33 kilograms for our Red Star Maintenance Department employees. Once Songlin has completed the formal employment procedures, we will have to transfer the food quota as soon as possible."

After hearing what Yue Wenxuan said, Mother Lu's eyes lit up and she said happily, "There is a ration of 33 kilograms. This is really great! You young people have a huge appetite. You can't get enough with a ration of 27 kilograms per month. If we can get an extra 6 kilograms of food per month, that should be enough."

Yue Wenxuan and Lu Songlin agreed to meet in the maintenance department tomorrow, and left after drinking a cup of hot water.

Yue Wenxuan planned to recruit two other educated youth from the street, one named Cai Youliang and the other named Chi Xingmao.

Both of them graduated from high school. Cai Youliang has inherited cooking skills from his family and is said to be quite good. Yue Wenxuan plans to set up his own canteen in the maintenance department. Cai Youliang is a person with special skills after all, so it is a good opportunity for him to use his expertise.

There are many unemployed educated youth in the street office, but there are really few who have any special skills. Cai Youliang and Chi Xingmao can be regarded as generals among dwarfs, and they can always be of some use.

Chi Xingmao's specialty is his dexterity. It is said that he can learn anything once he learns it. He has also learned how to repair bicycles before. After being recruited into the maintenance department, he can be considered a talent that can be used immediately.

After Yue Wenxuan met the two, they heard that they could get 18 yuan per month as an apprentice salary, so they agreed on the spot. Moreover, the main work of the maintenance department is to repair watches, radios and household appliances, which is a decent job to say, so of course the two were even more satisfied.

In addition to the three educated youth from this street, Yue Wenxuan also plans to recruit one more person, that person is his childhood friend Chen Xiaoliang.

Before Yue Wenxuan's parents came to the institute, they had always lived in a large courtyard. Chen Xiaoliang was Yue Wenxuan's best playmate during his youth.

A few months ago, Chen Xiaoliang wrote a letter to Yue Wenxuan, telling him that he had returned to the city.

Chen Xiaoliang is just a child from an ordinary working-class family. Yue Wenxuan feels that he may not be able to find a job in such a short time, so it is a good opportunity for him to go and see him.

If Chen Xiaoliang already had a job, Yue Wenxuan would certainly not mention this matter and would just treat it as a visit to his home; if Chen Xiaoliang did not have a job yet, he could just help him solve this problem.

Yue Wenxuan knew that Chen Xiaoliang was a person who could not sit still, so in order to stop him, he specially went to visit him at noon.

The tenement where Chen Xiaoliang's family lived was a quadrangle with two entrances, and Chen Xiaoliang's family lived in the east wing of the front yard.

Yue Wenxuan hadn't entered this courtyard for four years. It felt quite familiar when he stepped into this courtyard with his childhood memories again.

When they arrived at the door of the east wing, Yue Wenxuan shouted loudly in the yard: "Xiaoliang, is Xiaoliang home?"

"Who?"

Following this question, a short young man walked out of the house.

When he came out, he saw that the person standing in the yard was Yue Wenxuan, and he immediately stepped forward in surprise. Then he raised his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and asked with a smile on his face:
"Brother Xuan, when did you come back? Are you coming back to visit your family or are you staying here?" Chen Xiaoliang is a few months younger than Yue Wenxuan and has called him brother since childhood.

"I just came back these two days, and I came to see you right after I got back." Chen Xiaoliang grabbed Yue Wenxuan's arm and pulled him into the house. As they walked, he asked, "Have you had lunch? If not, come and have a bite at our house. I'll ask my mom to make you a bowl of noodles and add a few drops of sesame oil. I guarantee you'll be so fragrant that you can't walk."

"I came here after lunch. I was worried that you would be nowhere to be found after lunch, so I came here specifically to stop you."

After entering the house, Yue Wenxuan saw that Chen Xiaoliang's mother and sister-in-law were at home, and hurried to greet them.

Yue Wenxuan chatted briefly with the two of them and then told them the purpose of his visit.

Everyone's reaction was similar to that of Lu Songlin's family, all of them were surprised and happy.

Chen Xiaoliang's family is an ordinary working class family, and their life has always been difficult. Chen Xiaoliang's mother and sister-in-law are both housewives without formal jobs. They are both unemployed and can only do odd jobs to earn a little money. Chen Xiaoliang has not been back to the city for long, and his family has no strong connections, so he has been unemployed.

Yue Wenxuan also arranged a deputy director position for him, which sounded more respectable and also gave him an extra five yuan per month in position allowance.

After explaining the situation clearly, Yue Wenxuan did not stay long. He left the small gift he brought and then went out with Chen Xiaoliang.

After going out, Chen Xiaoliang still wanted to put his arm around Yue Wenxuan's shoulders like he did when they were children, but unfortunately he was less than 1.7 meters tall, and the height difference between them was too big. He tried it, but had to give up the idea.

Seeing his actions, Yue Wenxuan couldn't help but complain: "Have you only grown up in these years? I think it must be because you are too cunning that you are hindering your growth."

Chen Xiaoliang has been a naughty child since he was young, with a lot of evil intentions. Most of the bad things that Yue Wenxuan did when he was a child were instigated by him.

In the original body's cognition, Chen Xiaoliang is not only thoughtful, but also very righteous. During the most difficult period of the original body's family, Chen Xiaoliang had brought a group of people to protect him and his family many times. It is precisely because of these experiences that Chen Xiaoliang's weight in Yue Wenxuan's heart is more important than Lu Songlin.

The two of them walked forward for a while while talking and laughing. Yue Wenxuan saw Chen Xiaoliang hesitated to speak several times, so he simply asked directly:
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart. Are you starting to distance yourself from me just because we haven't seen each other for a few years?"

Chen Xiaoliang slapped Yue Wenxuan on the back and said, "Just keep your distance! I just feel that telling you this might embarrass you, so I'm a little hesitant this time."

"What's so difficult about it? If it can be done, do it. If it can't be done, just send it."

"Okay, then you listen. Just like you said, if it can be done, do it. If it can't be done, just send it and pretend I didn't say anything.

You should still have an impression of Mou Keyong, right?" Chen Xiaoliang still planned to say it.

"Of course I have an impression of him. Isn't he the most important general under your command? With your small stature, you wouldn't have achieved your current fame without his support."

The original body had a deep impression of Mou Keyong. Mou Keyong was of the same age as the two of them, but four years ago, Mou Keyong was already a burly man over 1.8 meters tall.

Moreover, this person had learned boxing from a master, had a strong physique, and was a martial artist, so his martial arts skills were undoubtedly great.

Chen Xiaoliang said: "It's good that you have an impression of him. Since returning to the city, I have specially gathered a group of people to wash Buddha. It is with these people under my hands that I can live a good life even though I have never had a formal job.

Now I have a formal job, so I can ignore others, but it is hard to leave Yongzi behind.

Can you hire one more person in your maintenance department? Even if it's just a temporary job."

"Are you going back to your old ways? Wouldn't it be too much of an injustice for you, a big boss, to be a deputy director in my small maintenance department?"

Yue Wenxuan had a very good understanding of Chen Xiaoliang. He knew that before he went to the countryside, he had gathered a group of people to specialize in washing Buddha statues.

The Buddha Ye are thieves, pickpockets, burglars and the like, and the Buddha Xi Ye specializes in robbing them and then forcing them to pay tribute.

"You're embarrassing me, aren't you?"

Chen Xiaoliang glared at Yue Wenxuan and said unhappily, "If I could have a formal job, do you think I would be willing to do such a lowly job?

We are all forced by life. We are all young men in our twenties. Who wants to be looked down upon by others? "

At this point, Chen Xiaoliang just happened to confide his distress in front of his friends:

"There are so many people in my family, but my dad and my eldest brother are the only workers. I am a grown man who eats white rice every day. Even if my mom didn't nag me, I would still feel unhappy.

Besides, my sister-in-law is not a kind-hearted person and she always says some sarcastic remarks to me from time to time. How can I stand it with my temper?

I also know that what I'm doing is not a long-term solution, but for now, if I want to make some pocket money, this is the only way I can think of. "

Although Chen Xiaoliang is a small man, he is a very arrogant person with a strong self-esteem and cannot stand other people's contempt. Moreover, he has the potential to be a big brother and is also very smart. Otherwise, he would not be able to gather a group of people under him.

In fact, Chen Xiaoliang is the youngest child in the family. His elder brothers and sisters are married and have children, and his second brother and second sister are still working in the countryside. He is the youngest son in the family, and he is actually quite spoiled. I don't know how he developed this character.

"With your temper, this is indeed something you can do." Yue Wenxuan returned to the previous topic, "Don't be a temporary worker anymore, wouldn't that be embarrassing for you? One more person is enough, and let Yongzi be a formal apprentice, and the basic monthly salary is also 18 yuan."

Among the people Yue Wenxuan recruited, only Lu Songlin and Chi Xingmao had some basic knowledge. The others had to start from scratch, and he didn't mind having one more person with no basic knowledge.

"What a good friend!" Chen Xiaoliang punched Yue Wenxuan hard on the chest. "Then I'll go find him now. This is simply pie in the sky, and it hits him directly on the head. When he hears the news, he will definitely be so happy."

"Go ahead if you want to. We'll meet at the entrance of the maintenance department at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Also, remember to tell him to bring his ID and transfer the food allowance as soon as possible."

Normally, a small maintenance department would not be able to hire so many people. If it cannot pay their salaries, everyone would be dissatisfied.

Of course Yue Wenxuan doesn't have to worry about his salary. With his ability, he can just think of some way to make the maintenance department's business prosper.

But he didn't want his maintenance department to attract too much attention, so he still had to control the recruitment of personnel and try to hire as few people as possible.

He also had other plans. Once his idea started to be implemented, he would probably have to add a few more people to the maintenance department, so he also had to consider the future.

At 8:30 the next morning, Yue Wenxuan arrived at the maintenance department on time.

Before he arrived, the other five employees had already come and were waiting.

The door is not a place to talk, so after Yue Wenxuan opened the door, he invited everyone into the house and then began to introduce them to each other.

The first people he wanted to introduce were of course the two deputy directors.

The other three were newly recruited employees, so they certainly had no objection to having two more deputy directors above them. They just listened to whatever Yue Wenxuan said.

After everyone got to know each other, Yue Wenxuan first took everyone around the courtyard.

The courtyard faces north and south, and the three rooms facing the street in the south are shops facing the outside. Although the courtyard of the three rooms is relatively narrow, it is long enough. Between the three shops facing the street and the three main rooms, four side rooms are built on the west side of the courtyard.

This courtyard was previously occupied by a magazine company. Although they have moved out, many tables, chairs and benches are still left behind.

These tables, chairs and benches all belonged to the street office, and Yue Wenxuan kept them specifically. These things were included in the monthly rent of 22 yuan.

With these tables, chairs, benches and a few bunk beds, Yue Wenxuan should not need to buy too many things.
