60s: I have a store

Chapter 182 Proper Placement
This time, the residents whose house walls were tilted were no longer stubborn and moved out all the valuable things in their homes, fearing that their houses would follow the same fate as Xiao Yao's house.

Sometimes it is difficult for people to teach people, but when things teach people, it often works just once.

Xiao Yao's room is a lesson for us. If Director Li and his men hadn't called the person out in time, the person would have been buried inside. Even if he didn't die, he would have been injured.

More importantly, there are children!

Director Li turned around and told a resident of the compound, "Go to the street office for me and ask all the clerks who are left behind to come here."

The man ran out without saying a word.

Director Li turned around and looked at Xiao Yao's family.

In fact, she understood the manager's thoughts, and it was difficult for her to do the job. There were only so many jobs, but there were too many applicants, many of whom came from families not much better off than this one.

They are all so poor and in such a difficult situation, how can she make arrangements?

To be honest, I have to thank Yimin who is by my side. His invention has enabled the steel plant and instant noodle factory to recruit many more workers. Otherwise, no one would have this opportunity.

However, whether it is the steel mill or the instant noodle factory, they are not only recruiting workers in their street! The quota for recruitment is even across districts, and the quota allocated to their street is very small.

In a nutshell, there are too many people and too little porridge.

Zhou Yimin admires people of this era for their courage to have children.

Even in such a difficult family, they dared to give birth to 6 children, 16 boys and 14 girls. Among them, the oldest girl is years old, and the oldest boy is years old.

They all look thin and weak.

Can you not be thin?
They only eat so little every day, especially children like this, who are in the growing period and eat as much as pigs. As the saying goes, "this little brat eats his father out of poverty."

In later generations, many young people don’t want to have children or even get married.

Things like being stressed out in life and not being able to support a wife and children are actually just excuses for laziness.

The poor have their own way of raising a child, and the rich have their own way of raising a child.

It is not necessary to eat abalone and lobster every day, nor is it necessary to send children to aristocratic schools. No matter how good the educational conditions are, if children do not know how to cherish them and do not work hard, it will not work.

A sensible child can be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University even if he studies in a remote mountain village.

To take a step back, even if a child's academic performance is not good, as long as his ideological and moral qualities are good, then the education of the child has actually been successful.

The old lady remembered something and wanted to go in too.

Director Li stopped him and said, "Are you trying to kill yourself?"

The old lady trembled and said, "The matchbox is still inside!"

In addition to the materials, there are hundreds of matchboxes that have been pasted. He has a large family, so all he can do is to find ways to take on more odd jobs from the street office, such as pasting matchboxes, to supplement his family income.

If they were buried there, not only would their family not get paid, they would even have to pay compensation.

Isn't this adding insult to injury?

"Don't worry about it, I'll handle it." Director Li had no choice but to say to the old lady.

After hearing Director Li's words, the family felt relieved.

"Director Li, thank you!"

Director Li added: "Next time there is a job opening, we will give priority to your family."

This is a promise to the other party, asking them to try their best to live first.

When the family heard this, especially the two elderly people, they almost knelt down and kowtowed. In fact, if kneeling down and kowtowed a few times could get a job, I believe everyone would kneel down at the scene.

Fortunately, Director Li immediately supported the two elderly people. "Kneeling is not popular in the new era." Director Li said.

This is not to thank her, but to harm her. Once she is used by others, she will be in big trouble.

Although the crowd was envious, they were not so jealous that they were completely unrecognizable. Xiao Yao's family was indeed the poorest family in their compound.

"Grandma, I'm hungry!" Suddenly, a little kid spoke.

Zhou Yimin looked at the little guy and thought he looked a bit like the hungry people in the countryside, but his condition was not that serious.

What does a child of only about four years old know about the occasion? When he is hungry, he can't help but speak.

"Be good, grandma will make you some steamed buns later." The old lady touched her grandson's head.

Zhou Yimin sighed, took out a handful of candies from his pocket, and gave one to each of the children present.

Everyone thought that Zhou Yimin was also a clerk of the Street Office, after all, he came with Director Li, and they all expressed their gratitude. This is candy! The adults are greedy, not to mention the children.

After a while, other people from the street office came.

Director Li simply held a short meeting here and made corresponding measures and arrangements.

The first thing is to settle the Yao family.

Even if we rush to work now, it will take at least tomorrow to help them rebuild their house. For this family, we can only provide temporary accommodation.

"Director Li, can it be rebuilt tomorrow?" asked the manager.

"As soon as possible! If not tomorrow, it will be completed the day after tomorrow." Director Li promised.

She had no choice but to urge the construction workers. After all, the family was waiting to move back. Normally, this small house could be completed in one day.

"If that's the case, we can squeeze some people into our slum. I'll arrange it!" The manager volunteered.

In fact, they are also afraid of being held accountable.

The house collapsed, this matter could be a big deal or a small one, if Director Li caught it, he would be in trouble too. Now, take this opportunity to save some points and goodwill.

In short, do as much as possible.

If they were only staying for one or two nights, the residents in the courtyard would still be willing to let this family squeeze in, but not for a long time. The old man in charge still asked himself if he could handle this matter well.

"It would be best if your compound could arrange it." Director Li nodded.

Seeing Director Li nod, the manager felt relieved.

Director Li did not refuse him the job, which meant he would not be removed from his post and would allow him to continue to be the manager.

"Lao Xu, your family can take in two children tonight, is that okay? Daming, your family..." The manager started assigning tasks on the spot.

Of course, he also crammed two people into his own house, leaving the residents in the courtyard speechless.

Otherwise, not only the residents in the courtyard, but even Director Li would have opinions about him.

The residents who were named saw that Director Li and other people from the street office were there, and although they were not very happy in their hearts, they still agreed readily. Besides, it was just one night, so it was okay to squeeze in.

Director Li instructed one of the clerks, "Go find Master Gu and ask him to bring some people over to rebuild the house as soon as possible."

Master Gu?
Zhou Yimin thought: Could it be the Master Gu that I know?
"Okay! Director, I'll go find Master Gu right away." The man trotted out.

There was a small empty space next to the collapsed house. Director Li wanted to make use of that small empty space so that the family could live in a less cramped space.
