After fishing for less than two hours, Li Ming caught a grass carp weighing more than two kilograms from the Jinshui River. He quickly tied a knot through the gills of the fish with a grass rope, picked it up and rushed back.
It was already evening when I returned to the courtyard. When I entered the front yard, I saw the lights on at home. My sister Li Rui was standing at the door, looking out from time to time to see if her brother had come back.
"Brother, you're back!"
"Ah, I caught another fish today. Parents, come and take a look!"
The little girl's startled voice alarmed Yan Fugui, the "bacus master" in the front yard. The third uncle came out and looked at the grass carp in Li Ming's hand with envy, "Hey! Mingzi got another big one today!"
Seeing this, Li Ming smiled at Yan Fugui and said, "I'm pretty lucky today. Third uncle, I waited two hours by the river to get this grass carp." After saying that, he picked it up and waved it in front of Yan Fugui's face. shake.
"Xiao Ming, come and have dinner as soon as you get back." My mother walked out of the house.
"Okay, third uncle, I'll go back to eat first." Li Ming said to Yan Fugui.
When I entered the house, I realized that there were meat and vegetables on my table today. Li Ming smiled and said to his mother, "Mom, you found out today that I got my diploma. Did you make it specially for me?"
Mom rolled her eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly."
"Lao Li, take the fish to the kitchen and keep it for now. Let's cook it tomorrow."
Old Li took the big grass carp from Ms. Wu and put it in the kitchen.
While eating, Lao Li asked, "Mingzi, is the letter of introduction you wrote to me from the steel rolling mill?"
Li Ming nodded, didn't reply, just stuffed it into his mouth. Father Li is already used to his son's behavior. Since the last time he mentioned that he wanted him to get engaged to He Yuyu of the Intermediate Court, he has been disciplined by his wife for several days and has long since become honest.
“Where does your school recommend you go?”
Li Ming looked at the three pairs of curious eyes around him and said, "Purchasing."
Although next year will be the beginning of the disaster year, I think I can stock up on some things as a purchaser this year so that I can make more preparations for the next three years.
And when I officially join the steel rolling mill tomorrow, the system will be activated. Although I don’t know what the specific system is, it can be useful no matter what.
I still have some confidence.
Father Li nodded, "That's good. It will be convenient to buy more things for the family when the time comes."
"Okay, come with me to the steel rolling mill tomorrow."
Li Ming went back to his house after eating. The area of his house was pretty good. Although it was not as good as He Yuzhu's main house, in terms of area, it was suitable for a family of four.
Moreover, if you join the steel rolling mill tomorrow, you will probably be assigned a room, so you will make free money!
The Li family is located in the east wing of the front yard, opposite the third uncle's house. When you enter the Li family's house, you can see the main room, which is regarded as the living room and dining room.
To the right of the door is a cooking station, and to the left is a washing station. The bedroom on the right is the bedroom of Li's father and Li's mother. There is a door on the east wall of the bedroom, and behind it is the Li family's storage room.
Li Ming and his sister Li Rui are on the left, separated by three huts. Li Ming and Li Rui each occupy one, and the empty room is currently also a storage room, so even if the steel rolling mill does not allocate housing, it is enough to live in.
However, Li Mingna is a technical secondary school graduate. Not only will he be a cadre when the time comes, he will also need a house. Therefore, Comrade Li is still full of expectations for joining the steel rolling mill tomorrow. State-owned, this is an iron rice bowl!
The next day.
As soon as the sky got slightly brighter, Li Ming was stretched out of bed by his father.
"Dad, you don't have to go so early. I remember you didn't go so early before!"
Li's father gave Li Ming a shudder, "You join the job today and have a lot to do, otherwise you would think that you and I would be happy to get up so early!"
There was nothing wrong with what he said. Li Ming had no choice but to get up, dress, wash and eat in one go.
"Old Li, are you taking Xiao Ming to join the company?" The third uncle, Yan Fugui, got up very early, probably because he was getting older.
Father Li nodded, "Yes, I will take this boy to join him today. There is a lot to do, so go early."
Then he took Li Ming to the steel rolling mill.
There is a vestibule outside the gate of the steel rolling mill, where rifles stand guard with bright bayonets. Today's large state-owned factories have security departments and armed departments, and the arrogant ones are equipped with automatic weapons and mortars.
Father Li took his son and entered the steel rolling mill with a letter of introduction. Now, if you don't have documents to prove your identity and you are not a worker in the steel rolling mill, let alone enter the factory, you can just wait at the gate for a while. No chance.
"Okay, you can go to the Human Resources Department and join me. I'll go to work." After finishing speaking, Father Li lit a cigarette for himself and walked leisurely to the workshop.
Comrade Li Ming's lips twitched when he saw this, wondering how he could file a complaint with his mother when he went back.
Outside the Personnel Department.
As the new generation of young people and current technical secondary school graduates, we must be polite.
"Dong dong"
"Please come in."
"Hello, comrade, I'm here to join our steel rolling mill. I just graduated from a technical secondary school this year. The letter of introduction requires me to report to our steel rolling mill." With that, Li Ming handed over the letter of introduction in his hand.
The female comrade in charge of personnel immediately became enthusiastic when she heard that she graduated from a technical secondary school. There is no way, you will be a cadre when you join the company, and you will be a good person when you become a regular employee.
"Hello, your letter of introduction is fine. We currently have vacant positions in the Purchasing Department, Transportation Department and Security Department. The Purchasing Department is currently the most short of people, so Comrade, you need to go to the Purchasing Department on the second floor to report."
"Your salary level is as a level 16 clerk during the internship period, and the salary is thirty-seven yuan. After becoming a full-time employee, the salary of a level 15 clerk is forty-two and a half yuan."
"Okay, thank you, comrade." Li Ming took the materials and turned around to leave, closing the door for her by the way.
When I arrived at the Purchasing Department door on the second floor, I still knocked on the door and was called in by someone inside.
"Hello, I am Li Ming, the employee who joined today. This is my letter of introduction." Li Ming continued to hand over the materials and letter of introduction.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Li, I am the section chief of our purchasing department, Xie Weiguo." The middle-aged man took the materials and raised his glasses to look over.
"Hello, Section Chief Xie."
"Xiao Li graduated from a technical secondary school, which is really good, haha." The smile on Section Chief Xie's face appeared very naturally. After all, graduating from a technical secondary school is really good.
"Our Purchasing Section now has three units, one of which is responsible for planned material procurement and two units. There is no shortage of people for the time being. The third unit is responsible for unplanned material procurement. Xiao Li, please go to the third unit to report to Xu Qiang, the unit chief."
"Their Sangu office is on the far right." Section Chief Xie pointed along the right side.
Li Ming nodded quickly, "Thank you, section chief." After saying that, he left without any further delay.
