Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 5 Heading to the Ceramics Factory

When Jia Zhangshi returned home, she saw Qin Huairu cooking.

When Qin Huairu saw her mother-in-law return, she immediately asked her what was wrong.

"mom!".

"Where did you go?"

"Why are you only coming back now?"

When they got home, Jia Zhangshi picked up her beloved grandson Banggeng and then answered Qin Huairu.

"I went to the neighborhood committee to find Director Wang."

"Is lunch ready yet?"

"My precious grandson must be hungry, right?"

As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she looked at her grandson Banggeng with doting eyes.

Banggeng, held in Jia Zhangshi's arms, nodded to his grandmother.

"Grandma, I'm hungry."

"Mom said we can only eat when you come back."

After finishing his sentence, Bang Geng turned his gaze to his mother.

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia looked at Qin Huairu with a hint of reproach.

"If Bang Geng is hungry, just feed him."

"What if my precious grandson gets hungry?"

After Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, she put down the stick and then took the stick's hand with a smile.

"Grandma will get you some food."

Banggeng was overjoyed when he heard his grandmother's words.

"Yay!"

Qin Huairu felt somewhat wronged after seeing this scene, but similar things had happened quite often.

In this day and age, what daughter-in-law doesn't suffer at the hands of her mother-in-law?

There are many women like Qin Huairu who married into the city from the countryside and suffered mistreatment from their mothers-in-law.

Qin Huairu was one of them.

But no way.

Therefore, Qin Huairu could only suffer in silence.

Qin Huairu doesn't have high demands now; she just wants to live a good life.

Noon.

Qin Huairu's family ate cornmeal.

Jia Dongxu's salary is not high now, only 32 yuan per month.

This is because Jia Dongxu is a first-level fitter; if he were just an apprentice, he would only earn 27.5 yuan.

If you want a raise, you have to upgrade your professional level.

First, there needs to be enough spots, and the technical skills must meet the requirements.

The Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill where Jia Dongxu worked certainly had enough slots, but Jia Dongxu's skills never reached the standard of a second-level fitter.

Therefore, this is the only salary I can receive.

Yi Zhonghai said that Jia Dongxu had also asked an old man for help.

Only the technical department can decide on these matters, and with so many people watching in the workshop, there's not much I can do to help.

In the end, Jia Dongxu worked at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill for several years, but he was only a first-class fitter.

Generally speaking, many people like Jia Dongxu are level two fitters, and some exceptionally skilled ones are even level three fitters.

This is related to one's own efforts.

Currently, Jia Dongxu's family situation can only be described as passable.

In this courtyard house, currently, only Uncle Yi Zhonghai is doing the best, followed by Xu Damao.

After all, Yi Zhonghai is now an eighth-level fitter at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, earning nearly 100 yuan a month.

Xu Damao was a projectionist at the factory. He earned a few yuan more than Jia Dongxu, but he could bring back a lot of local specialties when he went to the countryside to show movies.

They have everything, like free-range chickens, eggs, cured meat, and so on.

Moreover, Xu Damao's wife, Lou Xiao'e, came from a wealthy family. With his wife's financial support, Xu Damao lived a very comfortable life.

As for the families of the second and third uncles, no one lives better than the families of the first uncle and Xu Damao.

The second and third uncles have a large family.

There are many mouths to eat.

Even if Second Uncle is a level seven blacksmith, he can't withstand so many artificial people.

For this reason, their family's life was not much better than Jia Dongxu's family's.

As for Li Feng's words...

Before he came of age, he could receive a monthly allowance of fifteen yuan.

This money is a subsidy from the neighborhood committee to children without parents.

Now that Li Feng is an adult, these subsidies are basically gone.

Previously, fifteen yuan a month was enough for Li Feng to live on by himself.

As long as you don't spend money recklessly, you should have no problem getting enough to eat.

Noon.

Li Feng also returned home.

Just then, he came back from outside with some groceries. As for pork or anything like that, there definitely wasn't any.

After all, even if you have the money to buy pork, you still need meat coupons.

Li Feng doesn't have a work unit, so how could he possibly have sex tickets?

If you don't have a hostage, you can only exchange money for it on the black market.

But Li Feng didn't have that much money to exchange for it.

Therefore, Li Feng often only gets to eat vegetarian food.

In the past, during holidays, the neighborhood committee would give Li Feng and others pork subsidies under the guise of visiting them.

But things like this don't happen often.

After all, pork was a delicacy in this day and age, and not many people could afford to eat it regularly.

After returning home, Li Feng simply stir-fried a vegetarian dish and ate the leftovers from yesterday.

After eating.

Li Fengcai started thinking about tomorrow's interview.

Regarding the interview content.

Li Feng didn't know what the interview would be about.

After all, Li Feng had never applied for a job at a ceramics factory.

What are the specific tasks involved in working at a ceramics factory?

Li Feng didn't know much about him either.

After all, this isn't my major.

Li Feng is a graduate of a science and engineering university. Due to his major, he studied drafting.

Because of his work in drafting, Li Feng gradually developed a love for painting.

Perhaps this is why Li Feng saw "Painting" listed in the potential section of his character panel.

of course!

This is just Li Feng's guess.

After all, Li Feng hasn't fully figured out his system yet.

Regarding the interview, Li Feng is now preparing as if he were doing his graduation thesis defense.

Because Li Feng didn't know what the exam would be like tomorrow.

So this is the only thing Li Feng can do for now.

It's night time soon.

Many people have returned to the courtyard house.

Because Li Feng lived in the house next to Sha Zhu.

He had a very clear understanding of the situations of the Yi, He, and Jia families.

of course!

Whether they come back or not is none of my business.

My most important task right now is to prepare for tomorrow's job interview.

Therefore, Li Feng kept recalling the details of his thesis defense.

night.

Li Feng went to bed very early.

After all, that way I'll have the energy to do it tomorrow.

In the courtyard, no one else went to bed as early as Li Feng.

They were all chatting at home.

There are many people in their family. Even the He family has two people, but Li Feng only has one.

Early the next morning.

Li Feng got up very early.

Li Feng ate something simple and then went out.

After Li Feng left, the others gradually left the courtyard to go to work.

Most people in the courtyard own bicycles, except for Li Feng and Sha Zhu.

Almost everyone else has it.

Li Feng didn't buy a bicycle because he simply couldn't afford one, while Sha Zhu thought his workplace wasn't far away, so he didn't buy one.

If he had the money, Li Feng would be very willing to buy a bicycle.

After all, riding a bicycle is much faster than walking.

After traveling for nearly half an hour, Li Feng finally arrived at the Five Star Ceramics Factory.

At this time, a large number of people had already gathered outside the gate of the Five Star Ceramics Factory.

Li Feng was certain that they were not from the ceramics factory.

Because the workers at the ceramics factory basically didn't stop outside the factory gate, but went straight inside.

There are guards at the entrance of the ceramics factory; only factory employees are allowed to enter.

Li Feng, of course, couldn't get in either.

So at this point, he could only find an open space to hide.

According to Li Feng's plan, someone should come out and lead him and the other job applicants inside shortly.
