Faced with Xu Qing’s inquiry, the second uncle, as the oldest employee among the four who had worked in the factory for the longest time and had more senior qualifications, coughed and said:

"The factory will usually conduct a full-time assessment within one or two months after the start of work after the new year. As for the specific date, I can't say exactly what date it will be."

Liu Haizhong paused intentionally, glanced at Xu Qing, Xu Damao and Silly Zhu, imitating the words and deeds of the factory cadres when speaking to the workers, and then said unhurriedly: "This is all decided by the factory leaders.

But it’s certainly not too late.”

In response to the second uncle's remarks, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu nodded tacitly in agreement with each other.

Because everyone in the compound knows that the second uncle has a desire to make progress, but he has never been able to get an official position in the factory.

Xu Qing's question, Shazhu saw Liu Haizhong showing off and was too embarrassed to rush to ask.

Otherwise, even if he usually cooks for the leading cadres in the factory and occasionally hears something, he would know more than the second uncle.

Of course, Xu Damao knows more. He hangs out with the cadres in the factory every day. After work tomorrow, if he inquires casually, he will get some clues, but he doesn't want to steal the limelight of the second uncle, so as not to offend others, so he also

No words.

After hearing what Liu Haizhong said, Xu Qing nodded and felt a little relieved.

He can accept it in a month or two, but if it's any later, he'll be in trouble.

Although Xu Qing has a lot of money now, except for the parents' pension that grandma has kept for half a year and has not been touched a few days ago, and the money grandpa gave last night.

He had already spent twenty-seven yuan of the more than one hundred he had saved last year.

Fortunately, wages were paid a year ago, and I received twenty-seven and a half yuan from the factory.

One in and one out, calculated, during the Chinese New Year period, it is equivalent to spending the salary, and the money accumulated has not been touched.

However, during this period, there were many people in the room, and the food in the two noodle jars went down very quickly. Almost one-third of the white flour and corn noodles were eaten each.

As for the pork, which was not much in the first place, I finished it this morning.

After Xu Qing thought about it for a while, he felt that after taking out the tuition fees for his three younger siblings and other miscellaneous things, he should be able to survive for two months with the money he had saved.

And if you work as an apprentice for another two months, you will still get a salary every month. Although it will be a few yuan less than the salary of 35.5 yuan after becoming a full-time employee, there is nothing you can do about it.

Xu Qing naturally hopes that the factory will organize regularization assessments as soon as work starts tomorrow.

But now he is just an apprentice worker, and the factory leaders know him, but they may not listen to his opinions.

Putting back his chaotic thoughts, Xu Qing chatted with the second uncle and the others for a while in the courtyard, then turned around and went to the old lady's house, calling the three little ones back to his home.

Xu Qing was in a hurry to send the dishes and chopsticks after dinner in the morning, so he didn't have time to wash them. He had been chatting with Xu Damao and the others for a long time in the courtyard. At this time, Xu Qing and the little girl were washing the dishes and chopsticks.

Let the second and third brothers clean the front room.

After celebrating the New Year, the three little guys have grown one year older and become more sensible.

There is no need for him to worry about being the big brother, everyone is doing their own work very seriously.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Xu Qing and his younger brothers and sisters cleaned up the house.

The three little ones ran to play in the yard. Xu Qing took the key to the hut next door and carried the white noodles and mixed noodles that his old classmates Ma Jiefang, Li Guohua, and Erniu brought from the hut to the kitchen.

After washing it once, pour it into two noodle jars respectively.

In the afternoon, Xu Qing came out of the house after taking a nap and saw Xu Damao squatting at the door of the house, holding a basin of hot water, wringing out the rag, and cleaning the bicycle.

The factory will start working tomorrow, and new people will come into the factory. Xu Damao naturally wants to look more glamorous.

He usually pays attention to what he wears. Although he is not as particular as the third uncle in the front yard, he is still fashionable whether in the yard or in the factory.

Especially when Xu Damao is with leading cadres in the factory, he dresses in line with those cadres.

What if a new female worker who joins the factory falls in love with him tomorrow? This will bring good luck.

In fact, Xu Damao also has a partner right now, but he doesn't work in the factory, so he doesn't care about finding another one in the factory.

Anyway, in Xu Damao's opinion, only by being able to deal with a few more people can he prove that he is capable.

Therefore, last year, Xu Damao looked down on Er Mazi's matter very much, thinking that Er Mazi was a coward and a coward!

Even if you hold hands, your mother and third sister will drive you to the factory to cause trouble. What else can you do in the future?

Xu Qing walked over, and Xu Damao was wiping the dirty water off the rag while pointing at the front of the car that had been straightened.

"Qingzi, did you help me fix it?"

"Yeah." Xu Qing nodded.

Xu Damao put the rag on the bicycle beam, straightened up and said:

"Thanks, come tomorrow. Brother, if I see a good-looking female worker in the factory, I will help you keep an eye out for her."

Xu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't say anything.

And at the same time.

In Jia's house in the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu returned from her parents' home, carrying half a bag of stick noodles and a small bag of white noodles, and Xiaodang.

Jia Zhang stood at the door of the house, reached out and took the dough bag from Qin Huairu's back, and hurriedly took it back into the house, for fear of being seen.

..........

In the early morning, after Xu Qing got up early, he dressed neatly, put on a scarf, and walked out of the house.

Maybe today is the first day of work after the new year. The lights in Xu Damao’s house and the second uncle Liu Haizhong’s house in the backyard are also turned on.

When passing the middle courtyard, Shazhu, Qin Huairu and the first man had already left the middle yard and entered the front yard.

Xu Qing caught up with them in two steps and walked together along the alley towards the factory.

There are many people on the street, most of them in small groups, talking and laughing as they go to their respective places of work.

Xu Qing noticed that the sky at this time was brighter than at the end of last year, and the large red characters on the walls on both sides of the street were clearly visible.

After all, winter is coming to an end, and it won’t be long before the days will gradually become longer and the sky will get brighter and earlier.

Xu Qing listened to Sha Zhu talking happily on the side, and when he walked to the factory with the first uncle and Qin Huairu, not only did he not feel cold, but he was still a little warm.

At this moment, many people from the factory have arrived, and everyone is smiling and greeting people they know.

Just as Xu Qing was about to go to the third workshop, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

Turning around, he saw his old classmate Ma Jiefang smiling and saying:

"Brother Qingzi, I'm here to work too, haha. From today on, we are not classmates, but colleagues!"

Xu Qing smiled, took out a cigarette from the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket, handed one to Ma Jiefang, and was about to speak.
Chapter completed!
