1987: Sleepless Tonight

"I don't want wages," Liu Ping said.

She looked at Lu Hao with some fear.

This man is so fierce.

"Miss Xiao Min gave me rice wine and buns to eat, but I don't have any money to pay, so I just do some work here to pay for the meal." She explained.

"A bowl of rice wine costs [-] cents, and a meat bun costs [-] cents. If you eat several, it won't be worth it if you do a little work." Lu Hao said.

"Then do it for a day. I have suffered a lot, and I often do farm work when I am at home." Liu Ping said, "Washing clothes, cooking, sweeping the floor, cutting rice, growing vegetables, whatever."

She didn't care at all.

"Okay, go to work. Be quick with your hands and feet. If something breaks, you'll have to pay for it." Lu Hao still had a cold face.

Farming can make money, but you have to own a large forest and a large piece of land. Even if the profit per mu is low, you can still make some money if the quantity is large.

But this is not practical in Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng is densely populated and has relatively little land. There is only a little field per capita. With their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky, they can only earn food and clothing. They can’t save much money after a year, and even wait until the tuition fees rise again. At one point, they may not even be able to afford tuition fees.

Delaying tuition fees, or borrowing money to raise tuition fees.

The baby may be called to the podium by the school teacher, or even kicked out of the classroom directly. When will the tuition fee be paid, and when will it go back to class.

Liu Ping came out to work at the age of eighteen or nineteen. This phenomenon was very common. There were even some fifteen or sixteen-year-olds who came out to find work to supplement their family expenses.

"Why are you so cruel to the little girl?" Su Min walked quietly to Lu Hao, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "How difficult is it for a little girl to come out to find something to do?"

"You want to keep her?" Lu Hao asked.

"Well, this girl is very quick at her job, and she looks sincere, and there is also a shortage of people at the breakfast shop. Didn't you tell me a few days ago to find one or two people?" Su Min looked at herself man.

She was in favor of letting Liu Ping stay, but at the same time she was a little strange, wondering why Lu Hao deliberately made things difficult for Liu Ping.

"She has an agricultural registered permanent residence. To put it simply, she is a blind person." Lu Hao said, "If you leave her to work here, there will be more troubles."

It will be a normal thing for rural people to go to the city to work after decades, including children, who can go to school if they need it and if they have the conditions.

In some relatively large cities, if you meet the conditions, you can still settle down, and in some small cities, it is even easier to settle down.

But at the moment the situation is far from that simple.

Mobility policies change all the time, sometimes loose, sometimes strict, and sometimes ambiguous.

'Citizens enjoy freedom of residence and movement. '

This regulation is written into the article, but there is a big difference in actual operation.

From 50 to 57 years, people can migrate spontaneously without restriction.

People are not stupid, so they naturally want to go to the city, because the infrastructure in the city is better, and it is easier to find job opportunities in the city, which leads to a large increase in the population of the city.

From 52 million in 1,600 to 72 million in 3100.

Cities are somewhat overwhelmed.

So they began to think of ways to formulate policies. First, the household registration was divided into agricultural household registration and non-agricultural household registration, and the population was divided, forming a preliminary urban-rural dual household registration management system, and then restricting farmers from entering the city.

In 58, the "Regulations on Household Registration" was promulgated, which formally established the household registration transfer approval system and the certificate settlement system. This regulation for the first time restricted the rural population from moving to cities and towns in the form of regulations, and the dual household registration system that restricted farmers from entering cities has since formalized in the form of legislation.

During this period, it was very difficult for rural people to settle in cities.

At the end of the 50s and the beginning of the 60s, various urban units began to compete for rural labor in order to complete production tasks, and at this time the management of labor was decentralized, which meant that local recruitment did not need to go through the approval of the above, so The number of urban workers began to experience a new round of growth, reaching 4,500 million.

During this period, it was relatively easy for rural people to settle in cities and find jobs.

However, the increase in the population in a short period of time has brought huge pressure to the towns, so the management authority of the labor force has been withdrawn from above, and the "Notice on Immediately Stopping the Recruitment of New Employees and Permanent Temporary Workers" was issued, stipulating that the provinces and cities The recruitment plan needs to be reported and approved before it can be implemented.

Related to this is the implementation of the document "Opinions on Strengthening the Administration of Household Registration", which points out that the population moving from rural areas to cities should be strictly controlled, but all migration from cities to rural areas and between cities of the same level is allowed to settle down.

By 75, the clause 'citizens enjoy freedom of residence and movement' was also deleted.

It has become more difficult for rural people to settle in cities.

In this process, educated youth are encouraged to go to the countryside. In fact, a large part of the reason is that there are not so many jobs in the city that can provide employment for young people. If these people stay in the city, they will not be able to create value, and they will become hidden dangers. , So they are encouraged to go to the countryside to work, create value, and at the same time eliminate hidden dangers.

And many of these educated youths who went to the countryside fell into the production team and became agricultural household registration. When they want to return to the city, they have to rely on contacts, relationships, opportunities, and other policies.

Those who have connections in the city can go back through recruiting, enrolling students, and recruiting soldiers, and change from rural household registration to non-agricultural household registration, or their parents retire early to exchange for a job quota for their children.

In the past few years, the hukou policy has been relaxed a little bit, and you can buy urban hukou with money, but the value of a hukou is not cheap, and it is not affordable for ordinary people.

"Will you be arrested as a blind person?" Su Min asked quickly after being reminded by Lu Hao.

The blind flow is not illiterate, nor is it hooligans, but people who flow into the city blindly. From now on, these people can be called by three words-migrant workers.

"I don't know if they will be caught or not, but it will definitely be troublesome. It's not as convenient as recruiting people with non-agricultural hukou in Jiangcheng City." Lu Hao said.

"This girl is very poor." Su Min looked at her man, "I just chatted with her for a while, she has 5 brothers and sisters, and she can't eat enough to eat normally. She has good grades, but she didn't go to school early. Working in the small factory above, I only get a salary of just over 10 yuan a month."

"The small factory in the back collapsed, and she lost her job, so she came to the city again to see if she could find a job. She also had an elder brother and an elder sister above her. The elder brother was married and lived a good life. It's also difficult, my sister has long gone out to work, and followed the people in the village to the south, and there has been no news for two or three years."

"There is also a younger brother and a younger sister, both of whom are in school, and the tuition fee has also increased, and there are expenses everywhere. When I gave her rice wine and steamed buns, she hadn't eaten for more than a day."
