Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

“That’s not the case, but the person I met today was the person in charge of Mr. Zhang.

I don't know how Mr. Zhang got a job for us, and he has even given me a letter of introduction."

"this?"

"Dad, what unit?"

"Yes?

Dad, what unit are you talking about again? "

"Well, no matter what unit it is, this job quota is Mr. Zhang's way of thanking us for taking care of him in the countryside for so many years.

I think the Zhang family wants to use this quota..."

“Whatever it is?

Isn’t that what it means? "

"That's right, aren't we just afraid that one day we'll have to ask them for help?

I really didn’t expect Mr. Zhang to be such a person!”

“I feel that this is not what Mr. Zhang meant, but rather what their family meant.

After all, we have known Mr. Zhang for so many years, and we know a little bit about who he is. "

“I understand, and I know he is not that person, but I didn’t expect his family to be like this?

I really don’t know what to say.”

"Whatever you say?

Dad, Mom, since the other party has done this, what about us? "

“What else can we do?

We are just ordinary people, how can we not follow their wishes?"

"That's right. We really have to follow their wishes. But no matter what, I still feel a little aggrieved."

"It's frustrating, but fortunately the unit they arranged for me is not bad."

“What unit?

dad."

"Yes, what unit? If the unit is not good, we can just take the letter of introduction and not go."

“What nonsense are you talking about?

Fortunately, the company is not bad. It’s a real iron rice bowl, the post office.

I believe their family also knows that your mother and I were both students of accounting.

It doesn't matter whether I or your mother takes over this job."

"Then the job they arranged for me is not bad."

"Yes."

"So, Mom, what do you think of this job?"

"No matter what this job is, only our family can accept it. It can't be passed on to others. So where is this post office?"

"It's not far from where we live now. I think they must have done some research in private, otherwise they wouldn't have arranged it so close."

"is it?

It seems that they have really put a lot of effort into preventing us from asking them for help in the future."

"No."

"So, Dad, Mom, who will take this job?"

"I won't take it. Not to mention that I'm now working at the university library, if I exchange jobs with your mother again, my salary won't be the same as it is now."

"Yes, if my mother wants to work at the post office, what position will it be and how much will she get paid per month?"

"Counter clerk, the minimum wage for regular employees."

"this?"

"No matter what, being a regular employee is better than being a temporary employee. Besides, the benefits for post office workers are good."

"Yes, the work of a clerk is easier than that of other staff."

"It's a good thing they still have a conscience."

"Well, since they have done this, let's accept it with pleasure!"

"What else can I do if I don't accept it?"

"That's right, I didn't expect that there would be such a person in their family?"

"Okay, why are you so angry?

Don't you think that getting such a job without any effort is not a bad thing for our family, right?"

"That's right. After all, I work in the post office. It's not like other units with intrigues. It's easy work. I can work there until I retire."

"Really? Then, Mom, does that mean our family can't do business anymore?"

"Who said it's impossible? I don't have the time on weekdays, but can't I do it on Sunday?"

"Yes?

Not only do our parents not have to go to work on Sundays, we also don’t have to go to school.

How about this, we only do business during holidays? "

"It's okay to think about it carefully, but how much should we do at one time?"

"No matter how many we make, to be honest, the population at the train station is highly mobile, so even if we make a lot, we can still sell them."

"Really? Mom and Dad, what do you think about this?"

"You've already said everything, what else can we say?"

"that is!"

"How can you say that? We were the ones who said it."

"That's right. I still need to ask you two elders, how much should we make?"

"To be honest, I would like to have as many as possible, but to be honest, you guys also said that you don't look at the conditions of our family.

Not to mention whether I can handle it by myself, we don’t even have that many kitchen utensils at home, right?”

"Yeah, I think we shouldn't have too many, but why not add a few dozen pies and a few dozen big buns to the original ones?

When the time comes, the three of us will each take one and we’ll be sold out in no time at the train station.”

"Okay, it's just this pie. What kind of filling should be used for the buns?"

"I say it doesn't matter what the filling is, since we only make it on Sundays.

If we order the filling now, what if it is not available when we return? "

"Yes, this is indeed a problem."

"Okay, if that's the case, then let's make it like this. However, regarding the food issue, let's stick to what we agreed on before.

After all, no family would complain about having too much food. On the contrary, having some food in stock at home would make people feel more at ease.”

"That's absolutely true. Ever since we moved back home, I haven't really worried about whether there is enough food at home."

"Don't talk about you, don't I have this awareness either?

In contrast, the other three families in the distant yard looked unhappy at the end of the month, and it was obvious that they did not have enough food at home.

Fortunately, we just moved here not long ago, and no one is familiar with the place. Otherwise, someone might come to borrow food from us."

"That's true, but it's useless to ask us to borrow food. We may not even have enough to eat."

"Whether it's enough to eat or not, only we know, how can others know?

But one thing did remind me, Mom and Dad, you see, the autumn harvest is coming soon, what do you think, should we go to the nearby countryside to buy some grain to store at home this year?

We can't buy all our food from Uncle Huang, can we?"

"Yes?

Second sister is right, especially for things like sweet potatoes, the demand is huge, and it is not very convenient to buy them from Uncle Huang and transport them back and forth. "

"Yes, father, what do you think about this?"

"There's no rush. After the autumn harvest, I'll take some time to go around the nearby countryside. If I find something suitable, we can exchange some with the villagers."
