Chapter 9

Just halfway along the dirt road in the village, Xu Jichang saw Shunzi running over excitedly.

"Brother Chang, you are really stable!"

"Obviously, he has been hired by a big unit in the city, and he still looks like a normal person."

"The villagers have relatives who work in the county, and they have all sent the news back to our village. Everyone is gathering at the entrance of the village to discuss this matter!"

Shunzi ran to Xu Jichang's front and back, and yelled a phone call like a machine gun, and the whole person danced happily, as if he was recruited.

"The news spread so quickly?"

Xu Jichang was a little surprised.

As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, but isn't the wind a little...too fast?

"Hey, isn't Chen Mazi's second uncle's cousin and daughter-in-law in the east of our village working in the fertilizer factory in the city? Today she handled your employment materials."

"Chen Mazi got the news from her when he entered the city, and when he came back, he made the whole town know about it."

"Of course, don't complain about Chen Mazi's big mouth. According to Chen Mazi, his relatives are in charge of the last recruitment procedure. It's a certainty when he reaches that point. Even if someone tries to make things worse, he has no chance."

Shunzi said, happily punched Xu Jichang on the chest while speaking, and then dragged Xu Jichang to the entrance of the village.

"Hey, what are you doing dragging me, you bastard?"

Xu Jichang was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he would become the focus of attention of the whole village so soon.

Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile for a while and keep silent until the process was over.

This is the same as being admitted to the civil service in future generations. Don't tell anyone except your parents, so as to prevent someone from using disgusting methods.

The result was known to everyone so quickly.

But it didn't matter now, anyway, the recruitment process was going much faster than I expected, just like Shunzi said, and I wasn't afraid of other people making troubles when things were set in stone.

"Didn't I take you to the entrance of the village to celebrate with the villagers?"

"Then let me go, I will go by myself."

Xu Jichang said to Shunzi, Shunzi quickly let go, and came to the entrance of the village with Xu Jichang.

At such a time, it is still necessary to be lively with the villagers, otherwise everyone will think that he is arrogant and ignores people after entering the city.

Xu Jichang still wanted to keep the two private lands in his hands, so he had to pay attention to his own mass base.

At this moment, the team members were gathering under the old plum tree at the entrance of the village, listening tirelessly to Chen Mazi talking about Xu Jichang's recruitment over and over again.

These days it is very difficult for people in the village to recruit workers into the city, and the whole brigade may not be able to produce one in a year.

Everyone repeatedly heard about Xu Jichang's entry into the city, and many daydreams arose in their heads.

It would be great if my family could produce someone as promising as Xu Jichang...

As soon as he graduated, he stayed in the city to eat commodity food. If he said it, he would honor his ancestors.

Just when Chen Mazi was spitting and the members were fascinated by what they heard, Shunzi yelled at everyone: "Uncles and aunts, look who is here!"

The eyes of the crowd immediately focused on this side, and they were precisely positioned on Xu Jichang.

"Hey Jichang, congratulations, you are from the city from now on. We are discussing going to your house to congratulate you!"

"Long time no see, nephew, you look even more handsome!"

"Jichang, I often hugged you when you were young, do you remember?"

"Brother Jichang, you are really promising this time, and you have given our village head a face!"

All the villagers rushed over, surrounded Xu Jichang to congratulate and make friends, and the seniors who got close patted him on the shoulder to show that the two were close, while those who were far away squeezed in desperately, and a few people's shoes were trampled off during the process.

There were also some people standing outside who were embarrassed to approach, they were the ones who had a subtle expression when they met Xu Jichang back in the village just now.

Originally, these individuals were thinking about the use of Xu Jichang's good studies, and whether he had to come back to repair the earth.

Seeing that Xu Jichang had entered the city, or entered a large unit, they all felt particularly embarrassed.

"All uncles and aunts, I have received all your kindness."

"No matter where I am, I will always be a fellow villager with everyone."

"It's not too early now, everyone should go back to eat quickly."

Everyone was carrying Xu Jichang's bridal sedan chair, and Xu Jichang had to say a few polite words to make everyone happy for a while.

Of course, I have to persuade the folks to leave early, otherwise someone might ask him to do something later, and it would be difficult to refuse in front of people.

As a result, after hearing Xu Jichang's words, the members still didn't want to disperse at all, and continued to talk non-stop around Xu Jichang.

Xu Jichang had a conversation with everyone, and Gu Kong gently poked Shunzi: "Tell your father about my recruitment."

The folks are so kind, Xu Jichang can't go away by himself now, someone has to come and call him, and the team leader Chen Dazhu is naturally the best candidate.

When Chen Dazhu came over, Xu Jichang could find a reason to escape.

The folks are busy recruiting for him. He has to come, but it is not suitable for him to stay for a long time. This is the right measure of life in the countryside.

"Alright Brother Chang."

Shunzi understood that Xu Jichang must have intentions, so he agreed in a low voice, turned around and ran home to find his father, and Chen Dazhu, the captain of the production team, went.

At Shunzi's house, Chen Dazhu was sitting on the edge of the kang table, counting the accounts of the production team with an abacus in one hand and a pen in the other. There were thick account books on the kang table.

The old accountant of the production team was transferred to the brigade to manage the accounts at the beginning of the year. He just reported to the brigade and let Xu Jichang take over.

Before Xu Jichang formally took office, Chen Dazhu took over the accountant's errands on a voluntary basis.

Just when Chen Dazhu calculated a key figure, Shunzi rushed in: "Father, we have a big deal..."

Chen Dazhu calculated for a long time and was distracted, with annoyance on his face,

"You bastard, how many times have I told you to squeak before you go home and enter the door."

"Being startled all day long, sooner or later the family will be scared out of their wits!"

"It's not dad, this time is really a big deal! My brother Chang has recruited workers into the city!"

Shunzi said out of breath, "He is at the entrance of the village now, let me tell you about it, you can go and have a look at him."

"You child, don't say it earlier."

Chen Dazhu hurriedly got off the kang, put on his cloth shoes and buttoned them up, and ran out of his courtyard at a quicker speed than Shunzi.

It has been many years since the Kaoshantun team has recruited a worker into the city. Xu Jichang went to the city today to eat commercial food, which is a great joy for the whole team!
After running near the entrance of the village, Chen Dazhu saw a crowd of three layers inside and three layers outside, and Xu Jichang among the crowd.

"Jichang, I heard that you are recruiting workers into the city?"

Chen Dazhu greeted Xu Jichang loudly, the crowd turned their heads after hearing his voice, and automatically made way for a passage.

"Yes, Uncle Chen, I just completed the recruitment procedures today."

Xu Jichang said to Chen Dazhu who was striding towards him.

"Okay, we rely on the Shantun team to produce talents."

"Uncle Chen, I just entered the city."

When Chen Dazhu was talking to Xu Jichang, he glanced around from the corner of his eye.

I saw that among the members, someone was secretly looking at Xu Jichang, as if planning something.

They were all in the same village, and Chen Dazhu immediately understood that these people needed help from their relatives and friends in the city, and they were probably planning how to talk to Xu Jichang right now.

That's not the way to go.

As soon as Ji Chang entered the city, someone wanted to ask him to help in public, which made Ji Chang how to respond in a while.

Thinking of this, Chen Dazhu understood Xu Jichang's intention to call him over, he wanted to call him away, so that he would not lose face when the villagers opened their mouths later.

This kid has been smart since he was a child.

Chen Dazhu praised in his heart, he laughed and extended an invitation to Xu Jichang,
"Jichang, you just agreed with Shunzi to come to our house for dinner, right?"

"Our family's meal is ready, go back with Uncle."

"Okay, Uncle Chen."

Xu Jichang immediately followed Chen Dazhu, Shunzi and his son, and walked in the direction of Chen's house, and arrived in a short while.

Like other commune members, the Chen family is also a mud-brick house. The difference is that there are three mud-brick houses in the Chen family, and the courtyard is larger than that of ordinary commune members.

However, the scale of his family's private land is the same as that of other commune members' families, because the cultivated land is the lifeblood of the farmers. As the captain, Chen Dazhu can share more homesteads, but he must not occupy more cultivated land.

After entering Chen's house, Chen Dazhu invited Xu Jichang to sit at the kang table, and Shunzi went to urge his mother to cook.

After the two sat down cross-legged, Chen Dazhu seriously praised Xu Jichang, he really admired this young man from the same village.

He has excellent grades since he was a child. After graduation, he went directly to the work unit to eat commercial food. He has a particularly stable personality. He didn't tell the news about staying in the city himself, but the villagers found out and passed it back.

Xu Jichang thanked Chen Dazhu for his compliment, and felt that the other party should be sincere and not just talking about it.

Can you tell him about the private plot?
Xu Jichang thought to himself.
