I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 235 A children’s listening station is to be opened in Courtyard No. 95

The happiness of employees in steel rolling mills has been greatly improved recently. This is because the city's industrial construction has been tightened and support for rural agricultural production and construction has been strengthened. Not only did the steel rolling mill not switch, stop, merge, or reduce operations like many other small and medium-sized factories in BJ, but it built its own new production line and expanded its production scale. It has consolidated its position as a key heavy industry enterprise.

As a result, the steel rolling mill became one of the few factories that reduced its staff the least and was the first to resume production and increase the number of workers.

Although many temporary workers were dismissed and returned to the countryside some time ago, after the New Year, with the transfer of cadres, there are also a large number of skilled workers transferred from other enterprises, plus high school and university graduates, the entire steel rolling mill has The number of workers has reached a record high.

This also adds great difficulties and pressure to the housing of factory employees.

Director Wang came back from the meeting and said to Song Wu: "Thanks to those two reverse houses, you let Gao E buy them last year. Otherwise, if you have that idea again this year, you will definitely not be able to do it."

Now the entire courtyard at No. 95 Nanluogu Lane is full, and there are no more vacancies. Except for the two rooms on the back, there are transferred cadres newly assigned to the factory. On both sides of the gate are Gao E's two rooms and Song Wu's repair room. shop.

Director Wang came to see Song Wu today. She was not just here to chat about the house and talk about the reverse room. She mainly came to discuss with Song Wu about the first small courtyard between the reverse room and the front yard in No. 95. , set up a shelter for preschool children.

Song Wu asked strangely: "Aunt Wang, I don't quite understand. What do you think this preschool children's shelter is for?"

Director Wang said: "The work pressure on all fronts this year is relatively high. It is an important stage for us to get rid of difficulties. In addition, the personnel clearance work was very effective some time ago. Now the workload of each position has increased. In addition, as mentioned just now There are also a lot of new workers, and there are also not a few who are raising families.”

Song Wu also knew about this situation. The redundant workers returned to the land to do farm work. Now the labor force in various factories and units has been streamlined a lot, so everyone is busy.

According to Director Wang, the new spirit has increased the intensity of work, so new conflicts have arisen. There are many employee families whose children have no one to take care of them. On this street, the main contradiction is that some children who are not yet old enough to go to kindergarten have no one to take care of them. That’s why I thought of setting up this shelter for preschool children.

Song Wu understood immediately when he heard it. Isn't it just a nursery?

Director Wang nodded, "Yes, that's pretty much what it means, but it's not so formal after all."

Director Wang made another big deal, meaning that the street originally wanted to open a nursery school, but now that a new nursery school is being opened, no suitable vacant house can be found.

Therefore, after much deliberation on the street, among the nearby compounds, only No. 95 has the best housing environment and is the most spacious in comparison.

Therefore, as soon as Director Wang and others studied, they planned to make full use of the free space in No. 95 Courtyard, and temporarily gather some children from several nearby courtyards who have not yet reached kindergarten age here to take care of and manage them together.

When Song Wu heard this, he scratched his head and said, "The key is why are the children gathered here?"

Teaching children to sing songs and play games is probably something that not many people in this courtyard know how to do.

"Will there be teachers sent from the streets?" Song Wu asked.

Director Wang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Now that elementary and junior high schools have started to take turns to attend classes, where are the teachers to take care of these children? They may not be able to allocate them for a while."

Director Wang doesn't seem to have any good plans. However, she still said to Song Wu: "There are unemployed lesbians in your hospital who are at home, and they can make full use of them. When the time comes, the street will give them some subsidies, and they will also have an income. The street uses your hospital The space inside will give you some benefits."

This arrangement is expected to be welcomed by many people in the courtyard. There are still people in courtyard No. 95 who have nothing to do.

Now that Director Wang has come to find her, it can be seen that she is also encountering difficulties in her work, and Song Wu must support her in finding a way.

"Aunt Wang, how many children do you have?"

Director Wang thought for a while and said, "Eleven or twelve, and there may be more."

Song Wu said: "This is really a lot, and it's hard to take care of it."

Director Wang said: "Let me tell you, this is just a temporary measure. Our street is currently planning to build a nursery. We should be able to get all the children into the new nursery before the weather gets hot."

“Where is the new nursery going to be built?”

"It's right at the old briquette factory." The land is a big yard, which is quite suitable. Ever since the briquette factory moved next to the Dongzhimen City Gate Building, the old briquette factory has been empty there. It is estimated that none of the houses can be used now, so it is still there. In need of refurbishment.

Suddenly, Director Wang whispered to Song Wu: "I can make you a promise. You will take good care of these children in these few months. I will give you a few work indicators. When the nursery is completed, you can recommend workers. These nurseries The work indicators may be provisional at first, but they will soon become official.”

Song Wu asked again: "Is this new nursery opened in our street?"

Director Wang said: "The street took the lead, and then contacted several major nearby factories and units. Your steel rolling mill accounts for the majority."

In this way, the new nursery is not too small. Yes, the steel rolling mill is really in need of a nursery now. Now the next generation of GM is growing up vigorously. When parents are busy working, it is also a big problem that there is no one to take care of the children. In the early years, people may not have cared about it, and given the age structure of factory workers, this problem is not obvious. Now that production has resumed and the number of workers has increased, this contradiction may become more prominent.

Song Wu thought for a while and supported Director Wang's work for a period of time and gave him a few job quotas. This was a good deal.

Moreover, he now has a new idea. He is really planning to concentrate the children in No. 95 Courtyard. Only in the courtyard, safety cannot be guaranteed. It is best to provide a house.

So, he said to Director Wang: "Aunt Wang, I must support your work. I thought, it is not suitable just in the small courtyard in front. I might as well give Gao'e's two rooms to these dozen people first." Let the children use it. Anyway, her house is clean, but there are not many things, and the two of them spend more time with Lou Xiao'e. There are two rooms, with more than a dozen children in them, and the wind blows No, it won’t get wet in the rain, so it’s easier to take care of.”

Director Wang's face showed surprise, and he was even a little excited. However, she calmed down her emotions first and thought about it carefully before saying to Song Wu, "Okay, Aunt Wang really needs to thank you this time."

Song Wu waved his hands quickly, and then said: "There are three aunts and several young wives in our courtyard now. I can ask them if they are willing to come and help. In addition, I have an idea to let the children Listen to the radio and gramophone together. The children's broadcasts on the radio can add a little fun to them. It is also good for the children to find some music on the gramophone. And I can provide all these things."

Having said this, he thought for a while and said with a smile: "Our place doesn't meet the conditions, and it's not suitable to call it a nursery. I think we should just call it No. 95 Children's Listening Station. Because we don't have any other projects, so just call it a nursery." The radio and the gramophone helped them pass the time."

Director Wang smiled broadly and patted Song Wu's shoulder excitedly, "You don't have to worry about food or anything else at that time. The street has already arranged it and will deliver it. In addition, if Gao E is willing to let the street use the two For a room, you can pay the rent on the street. Some blackboards and simple benches can be provided on the street. At that time, you can find 2 to 4 people in your yard, and each person can be given 5 cents a day to take care of them. lunch."

As for what Director Wang said, Song Wu would never accept the rent from the street. That was simply asking for trouble. If things got unclear at that time, it might be possible to lose two rooms.

The subsidy provided to everyone on the street is quite appropriate. The work of gluing matchboxes without a job in the courtyard doesn't make much money, so I guess there are many people who are willing to do it. Having more money and less money is one thing, but the most important thing is that I can manage a lunch. What a great condition this is.

So Song Wu firmly expressed the idea that the two rooms were purely for help and did not require rent. Director Wang didn't say anything more. She said to Song Wu: "The candidates who will help in your courtyard this time, as well as your new nursery school in the future..., just three, three recommended employment quotas. I will submit them all." It’s in your hands, it’s up to you to decide.”

Director Wang found a solution to a difficult matter and left Courtyard No. 95 in a happy mood.

Song Wu turned around and went to Lou Xiao'e to explain the situation. Lou Xiao'e's first reaction was, "Oh, our Song Xiaofeng and Gao Xiaomiao are a little younger, otherwise it would be great to play with a bunch of kids."

No, that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking you if you have any opinions about those two rooms? Song Wu complained secretly in his heart.

His daughter-in-law was too careless, and when he asked her for advice on the issue of the two front rooms, she actually didn't care at all. The focus was suddenly on the two children playing with the children.

"However, even if they are young, I can lead them to stay with the children, so that they can always experience a more lively and lively environment. There must be benefits." Lou Xiao'e was still thinking about it.

Okay, since there is no reply, it proves that I have no objection. I will tell Gao E about the two rooms when she comes back and see what her opinion is.

After Gao E came back and heard Song Wu talk about the children's listening station, she didn't have any objections. "You make the decision. Anyway, my mother and I usually live here more often. I happen to want to buy furniture, but I haven't bought it yet, and the house over there is still empty."

She even said: "If I didn't have a job in the grain store, I would even want to work here. It would be fun to stay with the children."

Song Wu smiled and said: "That's because you haven't been with so many children. It will definitely disturb you to death. Do you think everyone is like our Xiaomiao? If you say that everyone is like Song Xiaofeng , think about what you should do?"

Gao'e thought about that scene and couldn't help but shook her head quickly and said: "I took it too much for granted. I'd better take good care of my children and do my job in the grain store."
