Everyone at the table took a breath.

They were frightened by Qiao Mu's decisiveness and cruelty. Where is the Northwest Reclamation Corps? It is an extremely difficult place. If it is 50% hard for them, then it is 90% and 100% hard to reclaim the land, and it may even be more than 100%.

Although people in this era respected those who were in the army and wanted to join the army, they were not so stupid that they did not understand the difference between the reclamation corps and normal military camps. Whether it was ordinary people or so-called soldiers, their main work was not war or anything else. The main work was to open up land and farm, and it was a much more difficult place to open up land and farm, which was a real foundation for building land and farming from nothing.

All farmers know that fields need to be raised, and the fields we plant now are mature fields.

The mature fields that ancestors have cultivated for generations.

New fields are not only difficult to plant.

And the yield is extremely low.

The land reclamation is actually similar to the ancient slash-and-burn farming. The environment in the northwest is completely different from other places. It is even more difficult for locals to clear the land reclamation there.

At the beginning, in the early 1960s, when the country called on everyone to go to the northwest to carry out reclamation and contribute to themselves, many people were indeed passionate about signing up.

But ten years have passed.

Everyone has a scale in their hearts.

Some of the people who went there back then finally came back with the help of their family members, some left their lives there, and some have not even come back yet, and I don’t even know when I will come back. The circulating words have no other adjectives except bitter and cold.

But the overall situation only talks about the spirit of sacrifice.

He only talks about dedicating to the country.

I won't talk about anything else.

Perhaps only my parents and myself are worried about.

This is also one of the main reasons why the number of educated youths in the countryside increased year by year in the mid-to-late 1960s. They obviously could no longer stay in the city, or were not allowed to stay.

Then they only have three choices.

Either support the northwest or go further south, or contribute to your own contributions in places like Yunnan, or you will have to go to the countryside.

Compared with the three, it is better to go to the countryside.

Don’t think that Yunnan was a good place at that time. The northwest was hard and cold, but the south was not a good place either. At least it was definitely not a good place at that time. People who were not familiar with the environment could not face the miasma and poisonous insects in the south.

In the event of insufficient medical resources.

It's easy to lose your life because of a little accident.

For example, eating toxic bacteria.

For example, I was bitten by a poisonous insect.

Or maybe it's just sick.

The northwest environment in the future is quite good decades later, and Yunnan is a well-known tourist attraction.

That's not what the two places are in this direction.

That was when a predecessor went to those places for original development, which broke the miasma and cleared out most snakes, insects, rats and ants, making the environment softer and not difficult for outsiders to enter.

"Mom, isn't this too cruel?

Meimei is a girl, so we will teach more in the future, why should we do this?"

Wang Weixi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly persuaded.

In his opinion, the harsh words his mother said at this time were much more cruel than he said to break his legs.

"Teacher, then do you tell her to listen?

If she is willing to listen, of course I will teach her slowly, but do you think she is willing to listen? Just like that, as I said.

I won't stay at home this afternoon.

I'm going to go to the county town.

I don't want to eat this meal anymore.

You can do whatever you want.”

After Qiao Mu continued to say something, he had a new idea in his heart. Perhaps there were other ways, such as taking them to the county town to be workers, no matter what type of workers they were, as long as they went, they had to leave the village, and they couldn't come back a few times a year, so naturally it became faded.

It was precisely because of Qiao Mu's thoughts on this.

Then he suddenly said he wanted to go to the county town.

Go to the county town to check out the spots and see if you can find a way to get two jobs for them, and at least get them out first.

Even if you sweep the streets and watch the doors, it is better to let these two guys stay at home and make trouble.

"Mom, you'd better eat something.

Don't be angry about them."

Wang Weixi continued to persuade.

Qiaomu shook his head and said nothing.

I went back to prepare the things in silence.

It was obviously not a good idea to send Wang Meimei and Wang Helong to the Northwest Reclamation Corps to reclaim the land. Qiao Mu proposed it just to scare them. Now that he has come up with a better idea, he naturally has to choose this gentle and better idea as much as possible.

If they were really sent to the reclaiming corps, if something happened, the family would probably blame her, the initiator. Qiao Mu would not do such a thankless thing.

After Qiaomu left, the lunch was very dull.

Wang Meimei was also a little thoughtful, not sure whether what her grandmother said was true or false, and some of her inner thoughts began to shake.

If her grandmother did that.

Is she still willing to fight for it?

...

In the afternoon, to be precise, less than half an hour later, Qiaomu pretended to be in a small bamboo basket and walked towards the county town.

A ox cart is not something you can call.

It only takes two or three days a month to go to the county town, and it is all in the morning and Qiao Muda goes at noon. It is obviously impossible for her to get on the ox cart, so she can only choose to walk.

Fortunately, Qiao Mu has not fed her less good things these days, so although her appearance has not changed much, she is still a little bald and has an old face. However, her real physical fitness and system have improved a lot, and walking some paths is nothing.

More than an hour later, Qiao Mu, who came to the county town, began to inquire about where there were recruiting workers, where there were vacant positions or temporary workers in which factory were vacant.

No money is required.

Just just find some old men and women who are locals to chat. All they spend is just a handful of melon seeds in their pockets. Don’t underestimate the old men and women. There is no one more sensitive to the various gossips in the county town except for the specialized staff.

After chatting casually, I found seven or eight people, and after two hours, Qiaomu found out the basic situation of major factories and state-owned institutions in the county.

I thought about a few choices in my heart.

One is an old cow from a meat-in-one factory, who is specialized in killing pigs. Some time ago, he had an accident when he killed a male breeding pig and was hit by the breeding pig. Now he is almost half paralyzed. He has only one daughter in his family and is already married, so he wants to sell his position.

Bid for 500 yuan.

Or two hundred yuan.

Add half of your salary for two years.

Of course, because the news has not been completely spread, Lao Niu has not been completely despairing about his lumbar spine. He plans to watch it for another half a month. If he really can't see it well, he will sell it. So only a few neighbors know about it, otherwise he would have been snatched up long ago.

Another one is that the transportation team recruits temporary workers.

The main thing is to follow the master to run transportation.

This job is also very popular. I heard that many people have taken the registration exam. It is not easy to do in detail, but it is not a way at least.

Another one is the waiter of a state-owned restaurant.

This is also a temporary employee position.

It takes money to buy it. Of course, they actually hire a second chef, who is a formal worker, but unfortunately the second chef is good at cooking. Qiao Mu and his family obviously cannot meet the chef standards required by them, so they are in vain when they come here.

But the waiter is a little bit likely.

In addition, canning factories and steel mills also have vacancies, with a small number of them, only one or two, and the ones are not missing. They are either guardians or responsible for boilers. Generally, older people do it, and no young man goes there.

But there is one key point in these tasks.

That means you must have a urban household registration.

Rural household registration is not OK.

Even if you have a high school diploma, it won't work.

Of course, if you really have a skill, you can still give an example. For example, if you know how to repair it, then the transportation team will definitely be willing to collect it. If the cooking skills are good, state-owned restaurants will definitely be willing to collect it.

A truly skilled person.

As long as you are not a black man, you can get along anywhere.

But the key point is that the two little bastards in Qiao Mu's family are not skilled. At most, they can only be said to be unscathed when cooking. As for the deliciousness, it is nothing to do with it. Driving and repairing are even more of an international joke.

Therefore, many jobs are simply unable to do it.

Compared with ordinary jobs without technical requirements, people will basically limit their household registration, and the city people have long been rushing to ask for it.
