Chapter 139
"I...I have nothing to do now. I can only take one step at a time! Mr. Jiang, you are right. You and I are both small figures in the tide of the times. Most of the time, we can only go with the flow. All we can do is try to be as low-key as possible. Head up.

You are better off. Your family is from a poor peasant background and you still have your current status. As long as there are no problems, there should be no problems.This is why I advise you not to buy a large number of collectibles now. We don’t know what will happen in the future. Safety first! "

Huo Jingting sighed and said.

"Uncle Huo, isn't the city busy with household registration statistics now? Many factories are recruiting people. As long as they are registered in the statistics, they will have jobs. Monkey, you two have no guarantee of income living here. Why don't you consider reporting your household registration to solve your job problem? ?”

Jiang Defu is a little confused. The basic household registration in the city is not complete now. People are walking and running. Although they say the situation is stable, in fact, it will take a long time to improve the internal situation.

At least for now, there are still a lot of floating people in cities without registered permanent residence.

Although Jiang Defu and the others are in the artillery school, they are still relatively free compared to the team. At least they can go out on weekends or when something happens, and they also understand some of the city's conditions.

Compared with the Great Depression that Jiang Defu experienced in his previous life, there were more people and fewer job opportunities.Nowadays, there are many places recruiting workers. The reason is that when the situation was chaotic before, many factories and companies closed down.

After the situation stabilized, some private enterprise factories were taken over and a lot of staff were needed. Now many units are recruiting people to work. As long as you are willing, the job will be solved immediately.

Many companies are large Guoying companies, and the same goes for Guofang factories.

The staff of the subdistrict office are now mobilizing residents to go out to work. No matter where you are from, you can participate in work.

But it seems that some people are still unwilling to go out to work, and Jiang Defu doesn't understand.

Previously, he saw that Shouhou was not working day by day, and he also suggested that he go to work in a factory. After all, at least for a period of time in the future, the status of workers will be very high.

The Huo family is now struggling with food and clothing, so they can just ride on the donkey and find a horse to work on.

However, Shouhou said that his father would not allow him to work in those factories. Jiang Defu has always been puzzled. Today, this is also an issue he wants to discuss with Huo Jingting.

"Mr. Jiang, you probably don't know the real situation. I originally wanted Monkey to work in the factory. With our family's current situation, how can we be dissatisfied if we have a job that allows us to eat?

It's just that those people don't really spend their energy on production. What they have to do every day now is to investigate various situations of employees, even their ancestry, various relatives, and people coming and going. I think this matter... "

Huo Jingting hesitated for a moment and said.

After Huo Jingting's explanation, Jiang Defu discovered that the so-called recruitment now did not mean arranging work and solving the problem of food, but various inquiries about household registration information, which was the so-called formal review.

If you want to participate in the work, you must investigate clearly whether the three generations are poor, whether the landlords are rich and are rebels, etc.

Just because you confessed it doesn't mean that the matter is over, and that we need to investigate clearly. In short, eighteen generations of your ancestors have been implicated in your work, and your future treatment will also be linked to those things.

In fact, the Huo family are not locals, but Huo Jingting's father came to Qingcheng to do business and took root here.

"Are there many people going out to work in a situation like yours?"

"There are all kinds of situations! In this situation, what everyone thinks about most is whether they can have enough to eat. In the past, when doing business, some people could support a family. How to work in a factory? Only adults in the family can go.

If only the adults at home can work and everyone else eats, they will definitely not have enough to eat. In this case, it is natural to return to their hometown in the countryside.Just like Ma Liu in our front street, he used to be a rickshaw puller, and his business was okay. At least he could feed the family. It depends on the weather when collecting food in the countryside. If it wasn’t enough, he would naturally rent the land at home to others to pull the rickshaw. .

Nowadays, the higher authorities say that luxury should not be allowed to oppress the lower class. No one takes rickshaws, and naturally there is no business.Their children make it, and he is the only one working. It is not enough to feed two people. A few days ago, he took the whole family back to the countryside. "

Jiang Defu finally understood that in his previous life, his grandfather originally took the exams and went out to work as a teacher in the city, but at that time he resolutely returned to his hometown in La and became a farmer.

At that time, my grandfather said that he didn’t have enough to eat in the city. He was too hungry and couldn’t bear it, so he resigned and went back to be a farmer.Jiang Defu still couldn't understand after hearing this. In his opinion, with his grandfather's education and work back then, if he persisted in the city, it would not be impossible to get paid as a professor. After all, there were not many highly educated people in that era.

Not only did professors retire in the city, but teachers' retirement benefits were also very good. He felt sorry for his grandfather. After all, his grandfather's classmates in the city still received high-paying retirement benefits when they got older.

Now it seems that it is indeed understandable.

Compared with the problem of being hungry and having enough to eat, the so-called iron rice bowl is not that important at all.

"Uncle Huo, what are your plans?"

Today is a period of great movement of people across the country, and it is also an important period of life decisions. One decision may determine the future destiny.

Although Jiang Defu suggested that Huo Jingting and the others go to work in a factory, he also knew that based on future developments, life would definitely be difficult for them from such backgrounds. If they were targeted, it was possible for them to lose their lives with Shouhou's impulsive personality.

"We...we are going back to our hometown in the south!"

Huo Jingting said.

"Go back to your hometown in the south? Is your hometown from the south?"

Jiang Defu was a little confused. Although they were in Haicheng, they were in the north, and most of them were northerners. He didn't expect that the Huo family's hometown was actually in the south.

"Yes, my father is originally from the south. After my grandfather passed away, he married my grandmother here in Qingcheng and settled here. We still have relatives in our hometown. There are many mountains there. Although life is not easy, the food is better than in the north. It's better here. You won't go hungry if you have land to farm!

There are clans in my hometown, so it’s good to have someone to take care of them! "

As expected, Huo Jingting still had his own ideas.

"Uncle Huo, this is fine. As long as we are safe and have food to eat, it doesn't matter if life is difficult. It will all pass."

Jiang Defu could only comfort him.

The south is actually better.

Regarding the living conditions in the South during this historical period, Jiang Defu only learned about it after he went to college.

When he was a child, he only listened to his grandfather and the elders around him talk about the difficult times during that period, and always thought they were the same.

But when I went to other people's homes with my classmates from the south and listened to the elders there talking about their living conditions there, it turned out that the difference was really quite big.

Compared with the north, life in the south is actually better. The political atmosphere is not as strong as in the north, and at least there is a slightly normal life.

"Uncle Huo, where is your hometown in the south?"

"Chaozhou!"

"Chaozhou?"

"Well, our hometown is considered a tidal fan area!"
