Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Director Wang glanced at Zhao Xuenong in surprise, nodded, and said, "Okay!"

Then the two of them walked out together.

In the alley, Zhao Xuenong glanced back to make sure no one was paying attention, then lowered his voice: "Auntie, my dad's old habit has happened again. You can hear his moans of pain all night long."

When he said this, Zhao Xuenong's face was filled with worry, and he was obviously very concerned about Zhao Jiefang's situation.

But after Director Wang heard this, he had no other choice but to sigh.

Zhao Jiefang may seem tall and tall, but in fact he is just an illusion. His experiences on the battlefield in his early years left him with a lot of injuries.

He has numerous scars on his body and is missing his index and middle fingers on his right hand, which were shattered by bomb fragments on the battlefield.

What's more serious is that Zhao Jiefang suffered from phantom limb pain. Every time he had an attack, he had to go through the pain of a broken finger all over again.

He is a hero of the country. Logically speaking, his life can never be as embarrassing as it is now.

However, after winning a battle, Zhao Jiefang encountered several beasts who killed his comrades and insulted their corpses.

In a rage, he broke the necks of those beasts on the spot.

There is nothing wrong with killing the enemy on the battlefield, but those beasts had already raised their hands and surrendered.

Although he was finally exempted from military action due to the plea of ​​the old battalion commander, Zhao Jiefang could only leave the military camp sadly.

After retiring, Zhao Jiefang took the initiative to distribute all his retirement pay to the families of his comrades who died on the battlefield.

Then he married the mute girl who had been waiting for him for ten years and adopted six children.

These children are the orphans of their comrades.

Originally, according to the state's arrangements, these orphans were to be sent to welfare homes.

But Zhao Jiefang went to find the old leader and smashed his head, so that the leader agreed to come forward to intercede for him.

The reason why Zhao Jiefang adopted these children is also very simple. The children are still young and cannot live without the love of their parents.

Because he made mistakes, he could only be assigned to work as a driver in a machinery factory in Tianjin after he changed his job.

But a few years ago, my mute daughter-in-law was diagnosed with neurogenic muscular atrophy and was unable to take care of herself.

In addition, there are seven children to take care of, and it is impossible to work peacefully outside.

Zhao Jiefang had to quit his job as a driver and supported the family by picking up rags.

Every day, before dawn, I would go out on a tricycle, come back at noon, have something to eat, and then go out again.

If my wife hadn't been feeling unwell today, I wouldn't have seen him until dark.

Everyone admires Zhao Jiefang as a person.

Everyone sympathizes with his experience.

This is why Director Wang and everyone else disagree with him giving up his spot to others.

The steel rolling mill is very close to Juhua Courtyard. Even if you walk, it only takes ten minutes.

If anything really happens, you can go to the steel rolling mill and call for help at any time.

The folk customs of this era were simple and simple, and not all courtyards were as beastly as courtyards.

At least the people in this chrysanthemum compound are very kind and will help each other when encountering difficulties.

After the list came out, everyone didn't want to beg for a spot because they were poor, but wanted to give the spot to those who they felt needed it more.

And no one asked Director Wang about the treatment of temporary workers from beginning to end, because they believed that Director Wang would not cheat them.

Those who were selected, except for Zhao Jiefang, who was in a special situation, were basically unemployed.

For example, the Zhou Laizi whom I asked earlier has limited mobility and can only rely on his wife to earn money by sewing clothes for others outside.

…

Director Wang patted Zhao Xuenong's shoulder and comforted him: "I know about this. When I get back, I will help your dad find a good doctor to see if his disease can be completely cured."

"Yes!" Zhao Xuenong nodded vigorously.

Apart from Zhao Jiefang, his wife, and his six younger brothers and sisters, Director Wang is the person she trusts the most.

Director Wang felt even more uncomfortable when she saw Zhao Xuenong's little appearance. She was just trying to comfort Zhao Xuenong with lies.

Zhao Jiefang had already asked many doctors about her phantom limb pain, but most of them didn't even know the name of the disease.

Finally, I got the answer from an expert who had drank foreign ink.

The expert secretly told her that there is no unified opinion in the medical community on how phantom limb pain occurs.

Even large hospitals abroad lack effective treatments.

"Go back, take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, don't let your parents worry, and you must study hard. Only by learning knowledge well can you repay your parents and build the motherland in the future." Director Wang warned earnestly.

"I understand, Auntie, you should be careful when riding a bicycle and ride slowly." Zhao Xuenong said.

"Okay, then I'll leave first!"

"Um."

After leaving the Chrysanthemum Courtyard, Director Wang went to several other courtyards.

The situation of these courtyards is better than that of the Chrysanthemum Courtyard, but the improvement is limited.

What makes Director Wang more gratified is that the people in these courtyards are very simple.

It's not like the people in the courtyard of the steel rolling mill, who are full of calculations.

While Director Wang was running around informing the temporary workers, Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard after cleaning the toilets all day.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Xu Damao's parents wandering around the courtyard.

When the two men noticed Qin Huairu approaching, they immediately lowered their heads, quickened their pace, quickly returned to the house, and closed the door.

This moment made Qin Huairu confused. She originally wanted to tell the Xu couple about the recruitment of temporary workers in the new workshop.

After shaking his head, Qin Huairu returned to Jia's house.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was sitting on the Kang, picking up the soles of her shoes and chatting with Jia Xudong.

"Son, please tell mom what the braised pork Banggian got from Wang Weidong tastes like."

"It's delicious! Let me tell you, it's even more delicious than the meat we got from Silly Zhu last time."

"Tsk tsk...Wang Weidong knew that my old lady was suffering in the fence, and he didn't know that he would come to see me with a bowl of braised pork. In the future, he would be like Sha Zhu, a destitute!"

"...."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the mother and son looked toward the door, and saw Qin Huairu sneaking in from the outside.

Mrs. Jia Zhang frowned, her face darkened, and she was about to reprimand, when she saw Qin Huairu excitedly said to them: "Mom, Xudong, I heard good news!"

Jia Xudong said angrily: "What good news can you have? Didn't I ask you to bring back some white flour buns from the factory this morning? Why are you empty-handed?"

"Well, I forgot about it, but this is not important. You listen to me first. If this matter is done, maybe we can eat meat every day in the future."

As soon as they heard that they could eat meat every day, mother and son Jia Zhang and Jia Xudong immediately forgot to scold Qin Huairu.

Seeing that they were listening attentively, Qin Huairu raised the corner of her mouth slightly, approached the two of them, and said mysteriously: "Mom, Xudong, I just heard Wang Weidong and Director Wang from the street office at the door of the new workshop.

We chatted and said that we wanted to recruit temporary workers. According to Wang Weidong, this temporary worker can earn one yuan a day!"

"What?"

Jia Zhang and Jia Xudong's eyes widened immediately.

At this time, the price of pork is 78 cents per kilogram. If you can earn one yuan a day, if you have enough meat tickets, you can really eat meat every day.

However, while Jia Xudong was surprised, he was keenly aware that something was wrong.

"No, why did you go to that new workshop? Okay, Qin Huairu, you bitch, do you want to hook up with Wang Weidong?"

Facing Jia Xudong's accusation, Qin Huairu felt somewhat guilty.

Fortunately, before she could explain, Jia Zhang interrupted Jia Xudong's accountability.

"It's not important to hook up or not. Qin Huairu, are you sure the news is true?"

"It's absolutely true! If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Qin who was on duty at the factory gate. At that time, Wang Weidong even sent Director Wang off in person! I rushed back in such a hurry because I was thinking about whether I could ask for a few places from Wang Weidong. Then our family

From now on, I will really have no worries about food and clothing."

Jia Xudong chuckled and curled his lips: "To put it lightly, Wang Weidong will give you the quota so easily? Besides, what if you get the quota? Who in our family can do this job?"

...
