Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 8 8. Sweep the Floor

After sleeping until dawn, Sanzang thought that today was Sunday and the rolling mill was not working.

I can't implement my own work, so I can go shopping around and get familiar with the environment.

I washed up casually, and I was hungry, so I walked to the gate of the courtyard, and said hello to anyone I met on the road.

When I came to the front yard, I happened to see Yan Bugui watering the flowers, and said hello, "Have you eaten yet, Third Master?"

"No! Why are you thinking about the third master?" Yan Bugui looked up.

"Just right! I'll treat you to breakfast, and I have something to do with you later!"

"whats the matter?"

"There's no rush now! Let's have breakfast first, I can't find the place, so you can lead the way!"

Seeing that there was something to take advantage of, Yan Bugui hurried over and brought Sanzang to a public cafeteria.

Now there are basically no privately operated breakfast shops.

After spending [-] cents and [-] taels of food stamps, the two of them were well fed.
During the period, Sanzang also made a big joke, wanting to try the taste of soybean juice,
I couldn't bear the taste, so I took a sip and sprayed it all up.

"Do you know where my third uncle Gong'an is buried? I want to pay homage to him!"

"I know! That's good!" Yan Bugui bought some things with Sanzang, backed a few buses, and came to a cemetery garden.

Sanzang arranged the things and prayed silently: "Your relatives are gone, I will come to pay homage to you in the Spring and Autumn Period in the future, and it can be regarded as a reward for working for you."

After the matter was settled, both of them remained silent.

Sanzang followed Yan Bugui back to the courtyard, and then handed him a catty of food stamps and [-] cents, "Today, these two meals will be served at your house!"

"Okay!" Seeing that it was profitable, Yan Bugui immediately took the money and food stamps.

When Sanzang came back, he found that "his" house had been vacated.

But the inside was empty as if it had been swept and cleaned, only simple beds and tables.

Sanzang thought to himself, this is also good, so as not to have to clean up. I have a bit of a cleanliness freak, and I don't like to use things that have been used by others, especially old people.

Then he hurried back to the utility room and brought his things over. Fortunately, it was summer, so he could make do with it.

"We are also from Yandu now, with a registered permanent residence and a house!" Sanzang lay on the bed, thinking happily.

After lunch, Sanzang looked at the little money and food stamps left in his hand, only two yuan and eighty cents and eight taels of food stamps, and was speechless for a while.

I didn't dare to run around, so I walked around the courtyard for a few laps, familiarized myself with the surrounding environment, and went home to rest when I was tired from shopping.

After dinner at Yan Bugui's house, Sanzang looked at the lights in Shazhu's house when he returned home.

After thinking about it, he went in and said hello to Shazhu, and made an appointment to go to work with him tomorrow.

Silent all night.

At dawn, Sanzang got up, washed up, ran to the alley to eat breakfast, and then went to the door of Shazhu's house to wait.

Ten minutes later, Silly Zhu also got up, and when he opened the door, he saw a person standing at the door.

Sanzang shouted, "Morning, Brother Zhu!"

Silly Zhu was also happy when he heard it. No one has ever called him Brother Zhu, "Hey! It's you! Wait a minute, I'll wash my face!"

Sanzang followed Shazhu to the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant, and all the workers he met on the road were wearing blue overalls.

At this time, bicycles were not yet popular, or else there would be an army of bicycles.

Shazhu has a wide range of people, and there are quite a lot of people who greet him.

The surging singing sounded in his ears, and Sanzang also became excited, but he had never seen such a situation before.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, we came to Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant.

"When you get here, this is my territory. Brother Zhu will protect you from now on! Come to me if you need anything!"

Silly Zhu said pretendingly, this is his first little brother, so he can't lose face.

Sanzang smiled and said nothing.

Follow Sha Zhu to the personnel department, take out the job introduction letter, and complete the entry procedures.

Factory director Yang personally greeted him, and deputy director Li came out to pretend to be slapped in the face, all of which didn't exist, what kind of onion is he!

Sanzang received his badge and overalls. Looking at his badge, he was a cleaner, but fortunately he was a regular worker.

There is no apprenticeship period or anything, and the monthly salary of handymen is 28 yuan according to the standard of first-level workers.

Don't look at the little money, the price is also cheap at this time, rice is 0.13 yuan/jin, cornmeal is 0.09 yuan/jin, pork is 0.64 yuan/jin,
Chinese cabbage 2 cents/jin, tomato 2 cents/jin, potato 2 cents/jin,
A bottle of ordinary baijiu costs a few cents, and a bottle of authentic Maotai liquor costs 8.5 yuan, but both need to be purchased with a ticket.

Yancheng government stipulates that the average monthly personal living expenses are less than 5 yuan to be poor households, and food is rationed.

Heavy manual workers do not exceed 44 catties, and light manual workers do not exceed 35 catties. An adult will spend about 3 yuan a month on stick noodles, which can only guarantee the most basic survival.

But at this time the countryside is really suffering, and everyone desperately wants to go to the city to become a worker.

At this time, workers are the real masters of the country. With 28 yuan, a person can live well.

But if you marry a wife and have children, you can only maintain a basic life.

The personnel department told Sanzang that he would officially start working tomorrow.
Seeing that he was done, Shazhu greeted him and went to work.

Well, I have really become a sweeping monk, and I am also a great god, and my life has risen since then? !Sanzang laughed at himself.

　Thank you for your votes guys!
