In this era, a formal job was equivalent to an ancient title, which could be hereditary. When parents retired and their children took over, they could also be sold to others. This is why people today are proud of workers in state-owned factories.
This is the golden rice bowl, glorious and great.
After getting off work at 11:30, Tang Niannian first went to the workshop to find her second uncle. She had already taken off her black windbreaker and scarf, revealing her beautiful, dewy face and slender figure.
Just standing at the door of the workshop attracted the attention of many young men, like a wolf seeing flesh.
"Hey, who is that girl looking for?"
"Who's here?"
There are many male bachelors in the machinery factory. It's not that they can't find a partner, but the requirements are too high. After all, they are holding golden rice bowls, and they look down on ordinary girls.
"Comrade, please call my second uncle Tang Manyin."
Tang Niannian called an older master at the door.
"Man Yin, your niece is here!"
The master didn't move, he shouted at the top of his lungs, and the sound of the machine tool was suppressed by him.
The eyes of the young men in the workshop shone brightly, it turned out to be Tang Manyin's niece.
Later, Tang Manyin was particularly popular in the machinery factory, which made him feel flattered. He thought that the leader appreciated him and wanted to make him a regular employee!
This is something to say later. Now Tang Manyin is still grinding nuts hard, his face is covered with gray.
Hearing that his niece was coming, he hurriedly ran out and was stunned when he saw it was Tang Niannian.
This was the first time that the second niece came back to his place. The ones who came the most were Wu Jin and Liu Jin. Liu Jin went to school in the city and would come here often. Nian Nian didn't like the machinery factory and said it was too dirty and was too lazy to come.
"Niannian, why are you here? Is there something going on at home?"
Tang Manyin was a little panicked. Could it be that something happened to his mother?
"It's okay, I'll give you something."
Tang Niannian took out the hare from the basket on his back and shook it. Tang Manyin's eyes shone brightly and drool came out of his mouth.
"Where did the rabbit come from?"
Since his father passed away, the family has not had game anymore, and he is so greedy.
"I'll fight, uncle. I'm hungry. Let's go home and cook."
Tang Niannian's stomach growled a few times. She ate some bread on the way, but she wasn't very hungry.
"I'll talk to the director."
Tang Manyin went in to ask for leave.
"Uncle Manyin, I'll do your work for you!"
The young men rushed to help him with the work, and even asked him about Tang Niannian's age, "Uncle Man Yin, how old is your niece?"
"You're only 17, and you're already engaged."
Tang Manyin saw through these people's thoughts at a glance and quickly explained that he didn't know about breaking off the engagement yet.
The young men were extremely disappointed, but they quickly cheered up. It was just an engagement, not a marriage, so they still had hope.
Tang Manyin ignored them, washed his hands, and took Tang Niannian to the dormitory building.
The dormitory building of the machinery factory has four floors and is a tube building. There is a corridor in the middle and rooms on both sides. It was passed down from the Soviet Union. Tang Manyin's family lived in a single room of 15 square meters.
The small house was divided into two rooms with cloth. The inside had bunk beds, where Tang Manyin's son and daughter lived. The outside room was where they slept, and it also served as a dining room and living room. The furniture was so crowded that it was difficult to even turn around. .
The stove is in the corridor, as are other homes. The corridor is full of stoves. Everyone is cooking outside at noon, and everyone can clearly see what food is being eaten.
It was not yet time to get off work, and there were few people cooking in the corridor. My second aunt, Xuan Zhenzhen, had lunch at the sock factory. Both children were in school, and they also had lunch at school.
"I'll light the fire."
Tang Manyin usually had lunch in the cafeteria, but when his niece came, he definitely couldn't eat in the cafeteria and had to provide some good entertainment.
The briquettes in the city are rationed, so you have to save money when burning coal. Generally, you can only burn two briquettes a day, and you have to light a fire every day. If you don't turn off the fire at night, you will waste an extra briquette.
Tang Manyin picked up the stove, ran downstairs to light a fire, lit a ball of newspapers, and then poured some charcoal. After a while, thick smoke began to billow. He then used a fan below to fan the smoke, which made the smoke even bigger.
When I was a kid, I used to make fires like this, and my eyes always brought tears to my eyes.
