Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

The next day.

Li Qingfeng was eating breakfast and asked Li Qingshan, "Qingshan, when are you going to ask about your work?"

When several people heard Li Qingfeng's question, Qin Huairu looked at Li Qingshan with bright eyes.

Wu Lirong also looked at Li Qingshan to see what he would say.

Li Qingshan swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "I'll go ask later."

"Well, I'll get my work sorted out sooner so that my family can feel at ease sooner."

Li Qingfeng replied while drinking millet porridge.

Li Qingshan nodded and replied, "I understand."

After dinner, Li Qingshan left home first.

After Li Qingshan left for a while, Li Qingfeng said to Wu Lirong, "Lirong, I'm going to Master's house and will be back for lunch."

"Okay, Qingfeng brother, you go!"

Wu Lirong sent Li Qingfeng to the gate of the courtyard. After she could no longer see him, she returned to the kitchen and cleaned up with Qin Huairu.

Li Qingshan went all the way to the Dongcheng District Armed Forces Department and found the leader.

The leader gave two work suggestions, one was the security department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill outside Dongzhimen, and the other was the security department of the textile mill.

Li Qingfeng thought for a moment before deciding on his salary and future job. He chose to work in a steel rolling mill. He did not want to work in a textile factory because it was far from home and it would be inconvenient to go back and forth after get off work.

The leader handled the work formalities and explained some human resources matters before letting Li Qingshan go.

Li Qingshan took the letter of introduction from his work unit, said hello to his leader, walked out of the Armed Forces Department, and headed towards the outside of Dongzhimen.

Li Qingshan spent another half an hour to reach the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill outside Dongzhimen.

At that time, the steel rolling mill had not yet been expanded, and there were only about 300 workers. It covered an area of ​​several thousand square meters and had few machines. It mainly relied on pressing and rolling the collected scrap steel.

Some time ago, Lou Zhenhua handed over part of this steel rolling mill, and it is now a public-private partnership.

The new factory building is already under construction, the factory area has expanded to tens of thousands square meters, and the number of newly recruited workers has reached 500, but it is still far from being a factory with 10,000 employees.

Li Qingshan thought to himself: After his job at the steel mill is stable, I will bring my brother-in-law to work at the steel mill so that he can have a stable job and avoid having to work hard in the fields in the village to make a living.

There are many construction workers working enthusiastically in the factory, and with the carefully recruited workers, the site is bustling with activity and thriving.

Li Qingshan looked at the staff on duty at the gate of the steel rolling mill, holding a steel gun in his hand, standing upright at the gate. As soon as he saw that this man was a veteran, Li Qingshan's favorable impression of him increased a lot.

He walked up to him, saluted, and said, "Hello, comrade. I am a newly assigned professional soldier. May I ask how to get to the factory director's office?"

As he spoke, Li Qingshan took out his work introduction letter and discharge certificate and handed them to the staff on duty.

The staff member on duty returned the greeting first, took the letter of introduction, glanced at it, and gave it back to Li Qingshan, saying, "Comrade, wait for me at the gate."

After that, he led Li Qingshan to register at the gatehouse, pointed to the office building, and said, "It's the second room on the left on the second floor."

Li Qingshan nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you."

The staff on duty replied politely: "You're welcome."

Li Qingshan walked to the front of the office building, which was a two-story building that was obviously built in the past.

After going up to the second floor and finding the factory director's office, Li Qingshan reached out and knocked on the door: "Knock! Knock! Knock!"

After a few seconds, a familiar voice came from the room: "Come in."

Li Qingshan felt that the voice was extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

Without thinking too much, he pushed the door open, walked into the office, turned around and closed the door. He listened with his chest straightened, walked to the desk, and just as he was about to raise his hand to salute, he was stunned by the familiar face in front of him. Wasn't this the regiment commander when he first joined the army?

Seeing Director Yang looking at him with a smile, Li Qingshan quickly came to his senses, saluted with his hand, and shouted loudly: "Hello, old regiment commander, I am retired soldier Li Qingshan, here to report."

"Sit down!"

Director Yang pressed his hand and said to Li Qingshan with a smile, "How is your father?"

Li Qingshan replied, "My father is still the same. My brother and I spent the New Year with our family."

"I got promoted. I was promoted to deputy group leader some time ago."

Dean Yang threw a cigarette to Li Qingshan, lit one for himself, and said with a smile: "Not bad! Old Li, you are doing very well now!"

"You are not bad either. You have made many contributions in the war abroad and have not brought shame to our regiment."

Li Qingshan smiled foolishly and replied, "Of course, of course. You don't even know whose soldier you are."

"You!"

Director Yang pointed at Li Qingshan and said, "Okay, bring me the letter of introduction. I'll sign it for you. Go to the Personnel Department to register, then go to the Logistics Department to get your stuff, and then go to the Security Department to report in!"

Li Qingshan smiled and said, "Okay, old captain."

Captain Yang asked again: "Qingshan, you should work in the second team of the security department first, and I will find a good place for you when I find one."

Li Qingshan waved his hand and shook his head and replied: "No need, old captain, I am doing well in the security department. I can still perform missions with my brother in the future. There is no need to change places."

"Fine!"

Director Yang then asked, "Qingshan, I heard that you, your wife and children are still living in your brother's house. Do you need a house allocated to you?"

Hearing this, Li Qingshan thought for a moment. It was fine for him to live in his eldest brother's house, but it would not be okay for Qin Huai and the children to live in his eldest brother's house all the time.

However, the yard his eldest brother bought for him was not close to the steel rolling mill, and it was not convenient for him to commute to get off work, so he had to be allocated an apartment.

So Li Qingshan asked, "Old Captain, is there a yard with a separate entrance or a separate house? An abandoned one would be fine."

Director Yang asked in confusion: "There are many abandoned yards. Why are you spending that money? Wouldn't it be better to have a ready-made house to live in?"

Li Qingshan handed over a cigarette and said, "Old captain, one or two rooms are enough for us to live in now, but if we have more children, it will be too crowded."

After hearing this, Captain Yang nodded and replied, "That's right."

"But Qingshan, it will cost a lot of money to rebuild the abandoned yard."

Li Qingshan smiled and replied, "Old Captain, I still have a lot of retirement pay! If it's not enough, I can just borrow from my brother."

Seeing Li Qingshan like this, Captain Yang stopped trying to persuade him and nodded, "Okay! I'll remember you! Anyway, your brother has been working for several years, so he doesn't need this little money."

"Okay, the house is not far from your brother's house, No. 95, Nanluoguxiang East Cross Courtyard, you can go and register yourself!"

After saying that, he handed the written salary slip and housing allocation certificate to Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan took the work slip and put it in his pocket, then said with a smile: "Then old captain, I'll go report first. I'll buy you a drink when I have time."

Director Yang said angrily: "Get lost."
