"Aren't you going home for dinner? Why did you come back here again?"
Yan Jiecheng asked curiously as he looked at Liu Guangqi who had walked halfway and suddenly came back.
"Isn't it okay? I'm busy at work every day. I haven't been out of the city for a long time. Today I'll go out with you for a walk and breathe in the fresh air outside the city."
Liu Guangqi looked at Yan Jiecheng and explained with a smile, and then put Zhou Qiao and Yan Jiedi on his bicycle.
"Who makes you a busy person? Among the younger generation in our hospital, you are the most capable and earn the most. Every day you are either seeing patients in the hospital or performing operations in the hospital. Others have never had the opportunity to be so busy."
Yan Jiecheng looked at Liu Guangqi and said with envy and jealousy.
"Haha, haven't you arranged your work yet?"
Liu Guangqi asked after looking at Yan Jiecheng's envious expression and laughing.
"No, I've been squatting at home for half a year, and the factory hasn't given me any confirmation, so it's been delayed."
When talking about his work, Yan Jiecheng has a sad look on his face.
"The economic situation in the past two years has indeed been pessimistic. You also know that we had some troubles with Big Brother. Big Brother withdrew all investments. It's good that we haven't reduced the number of people in the factory."
Although at this time, it was still a few months before the relationship with the rabbit and the furry bear completely broke down, and the furry bear withdrew from the experts. But more than two years have passed since the dispute between the two countries began. Since then, Mao Xiong has continued to shrink its investment in rabbits.
When Rabbit first founded the People's Republic of China, with the support of Mao Xiong, the industrialization process could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, and the First Five-Year Plan was overfulfilled in less than five years.
But industrialization costs money. Now that the support of the bear is gone, the industrialization process of the rabbit has stopped immediately. In order to relieve the pressure on the city, the country has started a program of sending educated youth to the mountains and countryside.
The reason is that the stalls were too big before, but without the support of Mao Xiong, these stalls could not be implemented. The country cannot continue to support those workers who were previously recruited from the countryside into the city. In fact, it cannot afford to support them. It can only send those workers back to the countryside, along with some educated young people who have just graduated and are waiting to join the work.
It can be said that it is good that the sub-district office did not send Yan Jiecheng to the countryside to support rural construction.
"I know everything you said, but I can't stay at home and grow old. After all, I am a serious high school student. Guangqi, you have a good relationship with the leaders of the factory. Can you help me ask? Ask to see if there are any positions in the factory that need people."
Yan Jiecheng originally didn't want to beg Liu Guangqi. After all, he also had his own arrogance, but he happened to meet him today. Thinking of what his father had said in his ears these days, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but feel better. . Besides, losing status in front of Liu Guangqi is not a loss. After all, there are few people in Nanluogu Alley who can compare with Liu Guangqi.
"When it comes to finding a job, you should talk to a big man. How prestigious is he in the factory?"
Liu Guangqi looked at Yan Jiecheng's tangled expression and said
"Looking for it, the uncle said that there is no shortage of people in the factory now, and then I will wait. I have been waiting for so long. How long can I wait? The next class of graduates will graduate. By then I will There is no advantage anymore. You lose face in front of the factory leaders."
Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng's brows came together.
"Okay, I'll ask for you, but you don't have to think about fitters, forgers, and welders. These workshops are now too crowded with people, and you're a high school student who can't carry your shoulders or lift, so you probably won't be able to do it. These, let alone management positions, are nothing but pitfalls.”
"Well, the electrician exam will start in just over a month. If you have nothing to do at home during this period, read more books on electricians and get an electrician certificate. With this electrician certificate, I can help you if you ask. That’s a lot easier to say. And the job of an electrician is not too heavy. Usually it’s mainly inspections, and occasionally you can earn some extra money, but you have to spend some money.”

pp]
Liu Guangqi thought for a while and came up with a good reason for Yan Jiecheng. However, help is help, and it was impossible for Liu Guangqi to pay for it. Yan Jiecheng still had to bear the expenses himself.
"Ah, you still have to spend money."
Yan Jiecheng frowned again when he heard that finding a job would cost money.
"How strange, you think this was only two years ago, and you could join the factory alone. Now the positions in the factory are basically full. If you want to join the factory, someone must retire or take someone else's place.
Either it is arranged by the superior unit. Except for the second one of these three, you can't take advantage of it. Whenever someone retires, the leader in the factory will immediately put the children of his relatives and friends into the job. Even if they are not formal employees, they can still hold the quota first. As for the certificate, you can just take the exam later.
You don’t have to worry about your superiors assigning you a job. You are neither a cadre’s son nor a veteran. How could your superiors assign you a job? If you have this background, you don’t have to worry about work. "
Liu Guangqi looked at Yan Jiecheng's innocent look and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Approximately how much is needed."
Yan Jiecheng swallowed his saliva and asked stammeringly.
"It costs about four to five hundred. If you have a certificate, it might be cheaper. Three hundred is enough."
Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi's third uncle are different from Xu Huizhi's original two brothers. Liu Guangqi's third uncle and Xu Huizhi's two brothers are about the same as illiterate people who cannot read or write. Their cultural level is limited to being able to write their own names. If the carrying pole falls over, they are a person. First, it is naturally more difficult to arrange for them to enter the factory.
"Three hundred, that's a lot. Even if you chop me up and buy it, you still won't be able to buy it for that much money."
Yan Jiecheng was so frightened that his legs went weak when he heard the price Liu Guangqi said.
"Then I have no choice. Unless you think you are lucky enough to wait until someone retires without anyone replacing you, and you happen to still have an electrician's certificate in your hand. But if you are so lucky, I guess you will also I won’t wait until now.”
Liu Guangqi shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. At worst, I can just borrow some money from your dad."
Seeing Yan Jie Chengchou almost crying, Liu Guangqi patted him on the shoulder and gave him an idea. In view of his understanding of Yan Bugui, Liu Guangqi didn't dare to ask for it, but said to borrow it.
"My dad, how can he have money? It's not thirty. My dad's salary is less than forty yuan a month. How many years does it take him to save three hundred yuan? Don't say he doesn't have it. Even if he has it, you Do you think my dad will give me that kind of character?"
"Don't be too pessimistic. I think the third uncle should give it to you. After all, you are his son, and it's not like you have borrowed the money and won't pay it back. The salary of an electrician is not low. When you get your salary after you go to work, you won't be able to use it. This money can be closed in one year. If you tell your father about this account, your father will definitely be able to calculate it clearly. He is the iron abacus in our courtyard. If it doesn't work, you can go door to door in our courtyard. Borrow something, three hundred yuan may seem like a lot, but actually it’s not much if you really want to borrow it.”
"Okay, I hope things are as you said, otherwise I will really have to shame myself and borrow money."
After talking about this, Yan Jiecheng also knew that Liu Guangqi was really thinking of a way for him.
While talking, the group of people came to the wild land outside the city. Looking around, the ground was covered with green wheat seedlings. Although there was no harvest last year, this would not affect the normal farming of the people. After all, there was a natural disaster. I come here every three to five years, which is normal. According to what the common people say, if you hear the cries of crickets and crickets, you will stop farming?
"Brother, there's nothing here. How can I dig it? I'll dig up a piece of cake in a long time."
After arriving at the place, Yan Jiecheng took Yan Jiefang with him. The Yan Jiekuang brothers ran into the ditches on both sides of the road. Zhou Qiao and Yan Jiedi also ran down. Not to mention that Zhou Qiao looked even more dignified than Yan Jiedi when he dug up wild vegetables. Professional, it seems that he used to dig wild vegetables when he was in the mountain city.
After digging for a while, Yan Jiefang couldn't stand it anymore. He threw the shovel on the ground and started a strike.
"elder brother,
I dug one out. "
Yan Jiedi on the side also followed suit.
"It's really evil. If a person is unlucky enough to drink cold water, his teeth will be choked. He can't even dig up a wild vegetable."
Yan Jiecheng felt a little gurgling in his heart when he saw his younger brothers and sisters arriving in the basket empty.
"Okay, don't stay down there. The wild vegetables down here have been dug up several times by others. Then it's your turn. Come up quickly and I'll take you to eat roast chicken."
Seeing the disappointed expressions on the little guys, Liu Guangqi, who had long expected this situation, raised the pheasant in his hand.
"pheasant"
"pheasant"
Seeing the pheasant in Liu Guangqi's hand, the little guys all opened their eyes and screamed in surprise.
"Where did you get the pheasant?"
Yan Jiecheng also looked at Liu Guangqi in disbelief.
"Of course I went to the grove over there while you were digging for wild vegetables."
Liu Guangqi pointed to the grove a few hundred meters away. In fact, it was more suitable to be called a cemetery than a grove. There were a lot of graves there. Some trees were planted in front of the graves, and over time it became a small forest. forest.
"In just a moment, you managed to kill a pheasant. You must be so amazing."
"Don't forget, I am the number one marksman in our courtyard. As soon as I see it, don't even think about running away. Come on, Jie Di, Qiao Er, I will take you to eat roast chicken."
Upon hearing Liu Guangqi's call, Yan Jiedi and Zhou Qiao immediately climbed up from the ditch on the roadside. Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang climbed up soon after.
Soon Liu Guangqi took Yan Jiecheng and a few little guys to the small river where he often came. He first took out a lighter and lit a fire, then took the pheasant to the small river and took out a knife to kill it. The pheasant is disemboweled and its feathers are plucked out. Liu Guangqi originally wanted to make beggar's chicken, but there were no lotus leaves nearby, and Liu Guangqi couldn't get used to eating beggar's chicken with feathers, so he could only eat roast chicken.
"What are you doing?"
Just when Liu Guangqi was busy picking up the pheasant, he saw Yan Jiecheng throw him into the river and pick up all the internal organs, intestines and stomach, and then wrap them up in a leaf.
"No matter how pickled this thing is, it's still meat. If you go back and wash it, you can make another dish."
Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.
"Let me go, you are really good at scheming. I am afraid that others will not know that you are the third uncle's son."
When Liu Guangqi heard this, he gave Yan Jiecheng a thumbs up.
"It doesn't count. Our family can't compare with yours. My dad only makes about forty yuan a month including bonuses and subsidies. He's not even half as much as you. A family of six depends on this little money to survive. Is it okay if we don’t count it out? To be honest, our family hasn’t eaten meat for half a year.”
In fact, Yan Jiecheng didn't need to say it, Liu Guangqi also guessed that the reason why he followed was to take advantage of this opportunity to help them open meat and eat teeth as a sacrifice.
TV dramas always say that Qin Huairu's family has a hard time, but what really has a hard time in the courtyard is the third uncle's family. Not only does one of the six members of the family earn money, but he also has to raise three sons. The half-grown man will eat me to death. This is not just a casual statement. When a boy and a half eats, he can even eat more than an adult.
"Okay, you guys wait here while I go get some soy sauce,"
After setting up the plucked pheasant, Liu Guangqi rode in a random direction and left the river.
As he walked, Liu Guangqi saw many people bending over with knives on the road. It seemed that there were many people who could not afford food or food.
"Mom, wake up, Mom. Someone is here, my mother has fainted."
Liu Guangqi shook his head and continued to drive forward, planning to stop in the woods ahead and then turn around and go back. At this moment, a clear and sweet voice like an oriole suddenly came from the distance in the ditch. However, this voice did not have the joy of an oriole, but was full of anxiety.
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Liu Guangqi immediately pressed the brakes and rushed towards the sound along the ditch.
By the time Liu Guangqi arrived, the unconscious man had been surrounded by people digging wild vegetables.
"Girl, your mother must have fainted from hunger. You should take her back to eat something quickly."
"Are you stupid? If she had something at home, she would come out to dig wild vegetables."
Amid the discussion of the people around him, Liu Guangqi put down his car, pushed through the crowd and walked in. Then he saw a familiar face.
"Senior Brother, come here, quickly see what's wrong with my mother."
Ding Qiunan, who was so anxious that he was about to cry when he saw Liu Guangqi suddenly appearing in front of him, suddenly had a bright light in his eyes. If she hadn't been holding him in her arms and passed out, her mother would have pounced on Liu Guangqi. In my arms.
"Don't worry, you are about to become a doctor. No matter how hard you practice, you still don't have enough concentration. What should you do if you encounter some special situation in the future? It's nothing serious. It's just syncope caused by long-term malnutrition. It’s normal, a lot of people are like this recently, even our hospital has several.”
Liu Guangqi knelt down, first opened Ding's mother's eyes and took a look, and then took Ding's mother's pulse.
"Aren't I anxious?"
When he heard that his mother was okay, Ding Qiunan breathed a sigh of relief and defended himself in a low voice. The people around him who had originally planned to come to help dispersed and went about their own business when they saw an acquaintance coming.
"You are a doctor. You can't be anxious when anyone is in a hurry. If you are anxious, you will easily make mistakes. If doctors are like you, how can you treat people?"
Ding Qiunan was quite happy to see Liu Guangqi. After all, since the two were caught that time, the two rarely met. When they did meet, they would say hello from a distance, and then they would be guarded against thieves by Lao Ding. Drag him away. Unexpectedly, they finally met each other alone today. The first thing Liu Guangqi did was not to say that he missed her, but to lecture her. Ding Qiunan was so angry that he turned his head away.
Seeing Ding Qiunan having a little temper, Liu Guangqi didn't tolerate her. He took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and swept it into Ding's mother's mouth. Unexpectedly, this action attracted Ding Qiunan's attention, and he swallowed subconsciously.
"What? You want to eat too."
Seeing Ding Qiunan's eager eyes, Liu Guangqi took out another Snickers bar from his pocket.
"I don't want to eat, I won't eat."
Even though Ding Qiunan's saliva was so greedy that he almost drooled out, but thinking of Liu Guangqi's attitude towards him just now, Ding Qiunan still had the guts to turn his head away. As long as I can't see it, then there is no such thing in this world.
"Little girl, you are quite stubborn. Come on, eat. Look at your hungry little face, which is sallow."
Liu Guangqi reached out and pinched Ding Qiunan's shriveled cheek.
"Hate"
Seeing Liu Guangqi's playful smile, Ding Qiunan slapped Liu Guangqi's hand away and snatched the Snickers bar. The sweet and delicious chocolate plus the crispy peanut kernels were so delicious that Ding Qiunan narrowed his eyes.
"Uh, why are you here, Guangqi."
After being comatose for a while, Ding's mother finally woke up and looked at Liu Guangqi, who was lost in the lake and said.
"My friend, his brother, sister, and my cousin were digging wild vegetables nearby. I went over to take a look. When I was going back to get something, I heard someone calling for help, so I ran over and took a look. I didn't expect it to be you."
"Oh, that's it. I'm really troubling you, Mitsuaki."
Mother Ding nodded after hearing this, and then she was about to stand up, but she couldn't exert any strength at all. She tried several times and failed to stand up.
"It's better for me to support you, Master."
Seeing Ding's mother who was as soft as a noodle, Liu Guangqi did not ask her why she was like this. Instead, he helped Ding's mother onto the bicycle.
"Let me take you to have something to eat first. I happened to roast a pheasant there."
Seeing Ding's mother's weak appearance, Liu Guangqi decided to take her to eat something first, as he happened to be passing by there on his way back.
