Chapter 150 Listening to the Sermon

An Zhixia was able to stay up late. That was when she was playing games on the Internet and shooting night scenes. In this era when only light bulbs and flashlights are available at home, she can sleep with luxurious beauty sleep.

However, as the elder brother and the only male in the family, An Zhiqiu had to get up from time to time to look at the fire and ventilate the girl's house. The layout of the house in No. 56 Courtyard is small, but the main house and the east and west wings have small compartments for entertaining guests, and can also be changed into a small study, making it more convenient and comfortable to live in.

Because her brother had been slowly roasting her on the kang all night, An Zhixia felt very dry when she woke up in the morning and drank a full glass of water. After eating the soy milk and fried dough sticks that her brother bought from the courtyard cafeteria, she put on a decent-looking blue cotton four-neck suit, put on two braids, wore burgundy corduroy cotton shoes sewn by her sister-in-law, and carried an army green canvas bag. , her face is clean and bland, but she still cannot conceal her exquisite facial features and youthfulness. She is a sweet, beautiful, and lovable girl.

An Zhiqiu is also well-dressed, and there is nothing wrong with him like all the workers. However, his handsome face still stands out, making him stand out in the crowd. To be on the safe side, the brother and sister both carried the red book and put it in the car when they arrived. They held the book in their hands, kept it and reported it smoothly.

Kyoto is very large, with ancient buildings as its center and expansion. Their houses are located in Dongcheng District near Shizhong District, which is not far from the second ring road in later generations. An's family lived in the suburbs of Xicheng District. An's father was an old employee of a paint factory, and Kang Xiaohua took An's mother's place as a female worker in a garment factory. Therefore, if the brother and sister did not appear deliberately, they would have almost no chance of meeting each other.

The place where the An family brothers and sisters go to work is a supply and marketing cooperative and a state-owned hotel in Dongcheng District, which is close to the Third Ring Road and is not very prosperous.

Thinking about it, the purpose of finding jobs for them is to transfer their household registrations. The leisurely jobs with good benefits and benefits in Kyoto have long been taken up, and it is not easy to find such an apprenticeship nearby. Furthermore, there is not much correlation between people's wages and efficiency now, and it can only be said that there is not much money to be made.

The state-owned hotel and the supply and marketing cooperative are on the same street, with only a barber shop in between. Because of the poor geographical location of the street, it only radiates the employees of nearby flour mills and paper mills with low wages and their families. However, two streets away is the main road of Dongcheng District, where there are shops with similar products and novel styles competing with it. Business was extremely sluggish, almost to the point of bankruptcy.

The shop assistants were not thinking about this. They all thought about moving their activities to other places. The mobility was high, so they were able to free up two apprenticeships in time.

Hong Ge asked people to inquire about this information privately, hoping that they could adapt to the unfamiliar working environment as soon as possible and know what kind of relationship they should maintain with their colleagues.

After exhorting and encouraging each other, the two of them separated in front of the barber shop. An Zhixia went in from the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative, took the information to the uncle at the door, parked the car in the carport, and walked to the office.

She arrived at the right time for work, but the door of the supply and marketing cooperative was closed and there was no one in the office. After waiting for almost an hour, several older ladies came in from behind pushing cars or carrying bags.

“The new apprentice?” They put the car away and saw the beautiful girl standing obediently, twitching the corners of their lips and forcing a smile.

An Zhixia smiled and nodded and greeted them politely. Unexpectedly, she took the position that everyone was staring at for their loved ones. She took out a handful of beautiful fruit candies from her bag and stuffed a few of them into each person, "My name is An Zhixia. I am an educated youth who has just returned to the city. I will be working with several sisters in the future. I hope everyone will take care of me. "

At such a young educated youth who returned to the city, everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to treat her. Look down on it, they are so beautiful and have the ability to return to the city early to work. After a year, the apprentices will become full-time and they will be equal to them. They must have some background; pay attention, Comrade Xiao An's background is not very powerful. He goes to this corner to be with them. When we share the food, we can't help but feel resentful.

They took the candy with a smile, said a few polite words, opened the door and went to work. They could only live in a normal way, neither far nor near.

The director came not long after. He was a middle-aged man with a beer belly in front of his head. He smiled easily, with a series of lines at the corners of his eyes. He took out the keys from his briefcase and opened the door and asked, "Is this Xiao An?"

“Hello, Director Huang, I am An Zhixia,” she replied with a smile and a nod.

"I know, Lao Yuan said hello to me," Director Huang put down his things and went to wash his hands first, "You can sit down wherever you want, and I'll fetch water." After saying that, he went out carrying two bamboo strips to warm the pot.

An Zhixia looked at the office. It was a very ordinary office with a period atmosphere, a desk with mottled paint, two sets of identical wooden cabinets to hold documents, a set of wooden sofas, a porcelain teacup for guests on the coffee table, and a face. Basin racks and clothes hangers.

Director Huang made her a glass of water, sat across from him and said with a smile: "I know everything about you in Wuqi Commune. There are not many young people like you who want to do practical things for the people. They are just one person. Children who only know how to work hard when ordered to do something, but don’t know how to adapt.”

An Zhixia warmed her hands with tea and asked with some surprise: "Do you know our president?"

"We know, people of our age have had their days of being passionate and angry youths just like you. But you went to the countryside to teach, while we shouldered our guns and ran north and south for the peace of the country. As we traveled a lot, we got to know many old people. Dude, I communicate with each other every now and then," Director Huang said with nostalgia, "Oh, Lao Yuan is about to get over it. I thought this would be the end of my life, but Comrade Xiao An is here and I think I can still work hard. More than ten years!”

"Director, it's unbelievable what the audience said. I'm a **** who has just turned nineteen. I just came to the supply and marketing cooperative today to report as an apprentice," An Zhixia said feeling stressed. She just wanted to be a low-key housekeeper, didn't she? ? It's very risky to stand out in Kyoto.

"How come it's not trustworthy? Lao Yuan is a down-to-earth person, and he's also a cool president. This year, for the first time, someone sent me a large box of meat. If it weren't for the fact that the commune was so profitable, would he have the money? Besides," Director Huang said with a smile. : "Someone from above also told me that you should find a job in your position and work hard, so that colleagues in our system can be busy and have a little bit of work, instead of staying up every day until retirement."

“Who?” An Zhixia was horrified, why is there anyone above paying attention to her?
