"Ma Yuqing! Ma Yuqing!"

Ma Yuqing was doing nothing at home when he suddenly heard someone calling his name downstairs in the factory dormitory building, and the sound was Zu Dawei, a man from the same factory.

He was very bored at home. He opened the window as soon as he heard the sound. He looked down. It was indeed Zu Dawei, and Zhou Fang who was playing together. The two of them looked up at the windows of their house on the third floor. Zu Dawei looked very anxious, and he put his hands beside his mouth, making a trumpet-shaped sound, shouting one after another.

"What's the matter?" he shouted to the bottom.

"Get out quickly!" Seeing him poking his head out, Zu Dawei waved his hand quickly. Zhou Fang also smiled and waved to him, signaling him to go down quickly.

"My dad doesn't allow me to go out!" There must be something fun. Ma Yuqing was itchy. He could think of his father's stick and became timid again.

Zu Dawei looked around, his lips moved, but he didn't make any sound.

"Come down quickly, it's really a problem to find you!" Zhou Fang was also anxious and shouted for Zu Dawei.

Ma Yuqing hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart. He brought the key, closed the door, and rushed downstairs in one breath.

"What...what is it, so magical...mysterious?" He ran anxiously, breathing a little, and asked with his waist and breathing.

"Your dad is still shutting you down? Can you go out?" Zhou Fang asked without answering.

Their parents are both employees of metallurgical machinery factory. They went to kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school together. Just last year, they all graduated, but the formal staff in the factory were already full, and there was no place for temporary workers and they had to wait.

When they first graduated, they all had a lot of fun. There was no adult care anymore, no need to go to class or do homework, which was a fun and crazy play.

But what is there to play in this era? This is another county town. After playing for several months, they released their years of depression. They began to worry about work. After waiting for so long, there were only ten people in the factory, all of whom were temporary workers. Every time they entered one person, the factory would make a big fuss and fight for a place to break the ground.

Such a severe form made them lose interest in playing and they didn’t know when they could have a job.

Anxiety, worry, and resentment. When they were playing outside, there were more troubles. If they had no job, they would have no income. After entering society, they realized that there were so many places to use money. It was difficult to ask their parents for money without money. What should I do?

As a result, stealing and hiding became the main side job of the three of them. They took out the scrambled iron from the factory and sold it. When people were not paying attention, they quietly threw some copper wire and aluminum outside the factory, and then went out to pick it up and sold it to the scrap purchase station.

After walking for a long time, they finally met a ghost. They were caught by a worker who found out that something was wrong. If it weren't for the children of our factory employees, they would have been sent to the police station long ago. Even so, the three families said all the good things and paid for it. When they returned, they would beat them up and then besieged.

But even if you fight, you can't cure the cause. If you don't solve the work matters one day, they will feel insecure all day.

The factory is not easy to steal, so we go outside to steal. So soon after, the three families have to go to the police station to get the children and compensate for the money.

This time, they were discovered when they were stealing castings piled up by the foundry again. Zhou Fang was a girl, responsible for venting the air outside and running the fastest. Zu Dawei was preparing to pick up things on the wall. When he saw the figure shaking, he fell off the wall and ran away. Only Ma Yuqing, who was left inside the wall, just jumped up and climbed on the wall, was pulled down by someone. The other party also hated these bastards very much. Without saying a word, he just punched and kicked him. After he was angry enough, he sent him to the police station.

I was beaten outside and was beaten by my father when I got home. This time, I was really heartbroken and took the initiative to kill him. Ma Yuqing cried and called his father to death. My mother kept wiping her tears, but she didn't persuade her. It was not until her father broke two wooden sticks that she finally stopped and said: If she dared to go out and steal things again, she would be beaten to death!

Ma Yuqing lay in bed for more than a month before he recovered the injury on his butt. He stayed at home for two months and stopped locking the door when his parents went out. Otherwise, unless he used a rope to get off the third floor, he would not have thought of going out today, no matter how itchy he felt in his heart.

"What the hell do you do when you look for me? I will not go if I want to steal things first. My dad said that if they dare to steal things again, they will never go to the police station to get people, and I deserve it if they are sent to jail or to labor camp!" Ma Yuqing said angrily.

"You think we are born to be thieves. If the factory arranges work, the son of the turtle will steal things!" Zu Dawei was very dissatisfied with his attitude and spat.

"Don't worry, we don't go stealing it anymore. Now our reputation has become bad. Even if we are wandering around, there are workers staring at each other from a distance. Even if we want to do something, we can't do it." Zhou Fang stroked her hair, and a mysterious expression appeared on her beautiful face. "A moment we were wandering around the cinema, and saw someone setting up a stall and posting revelations for recruitment. As soon as we saw it, we came and called you."

"Recruiting? Where to recruit workers?" Ma Yuqing was stunned and asked.

It's so fresh, and there are also recruitment workers. This year, the work is organized and arranged. If college students don't mention it, it is distributed by the state. Junior and high school graduates either solve the problem by themselves in the factory or recommend it through neighborhood committees and street offices. No company recruits employees through social recruitment, so when he heard it, his first reaction was not to be excited, but to be shocked.

Zhou Fang smiled: "Long Kang! 291 Brigade!"

"British 291!" Ma Yuqing jumped up as soon as he heard this, his face full of excitement, and he was wandering around in the same place, obviously his mind was already in chaos.

Because of the intentional downplay in China, there are very few people who know the First Special Military Sub-district of the People's Party, the 291st Brigade, and not even a few who have heard of this name. But in southern Xinjiang, especially in several autonomous prefectures and counties near the border, this name is well-known, with a loud golden sign. Among the 100 people, at least more than half of them have more or less known about them.

Especially the new city construction plan, it has completely subverted the perception of many people.

At the end of last year, on that land, the People's Army and the Wild Army fought to the death, and the sound of gunfire was deafening. In just half a year, the economic construction of this land was in full swing, as if the previous bloody battle had never existed.

And in these few months, the names of 291st Brigade, Guan Fei, Zhang Shengguo, Sun Yaohua and others were poured into people's ears again and again.

The leader of the 291st Brigade went to Hong Kong in person and opened a company, making a lot of money! The 291st Brigade bought grain from Hong Kong, and packs of snow-white rice were transported to the base area by truck! The 291st Brigade hired hundreds of teachers from China, and everyone who went there could go to school for free! The 291st Brigade wanted to build a new city, but they actually wanted to build a new city in the mountains!

At first, people were still laughing at it, but as trucks of cement, steel bars, and various construction equipment were transported from China, fewer and fewer people were laughing at it.

Later, the news that everyone who studied and obtained a high school degree was able to provide the distribution caused a sensation in the surrounding counties and cities.

Immediately afterwards, news such as wage system and service standards came one after another, and it seemed like a big rock was thrown into the hearts of all insiders, arousing a violent response - the salary standard is too high, much higher than that of domestic! In China, workers' income is already much higher, much higher than that of administrative agencies and public institutions, but the salary standard of the 291st Brigade is even higher. If the salary of working years and technical grade salary are included, it will be at least two-thirds to twice the higher than that of domestic!

Before everyone could come back to their senses, they heard about the distribution of rooms again!

Distribute room!

This is a room distribution! It is an elevator apartment!

Ma Yuqing didn’t know how other families were, but he knew very well what the family building of the metallurgical machinery factory was like. The entire dozens of family buildings in the machinery factory were all three-story red brick buildings, all of which were single rooms in Yishui, and each single room was a family!

There is a public toilet and a public stove on the floor. Every day, in order to go to the cottage, neighbors have to compete for a long time to cook a dish.

Since they are all public, no one is willing to clean it up on their own initiative, and the smell in the toilet is stinking. In summer, the smell can spread throughout the building, making everyone unable to eat. But even so, no one goes to clean it up, and they just endure it to see who is more calm.

This is pretty good, at least there is still a place to live.

Since entering the factory, the young workers have lived in the dormitory of a few people in each room, and have lived there for several years. Many people have been friends and are almost talking about marriage, and the factory cannot move a single room for them, forcing these young workers to quench their hunger and queuing their thirst, and they have to go to the park and get married in the grass by the river!

A young worker in the factory made his girlfriend's belly bigger and went to the factory leader to force her to ask for a house, but the factory could only spread her hands and smile bitterly.

Comparing the current housing situation on both sides, the housing distribution policy of 291 Brigade is tantamount to an atomic bomb, which made everyone dizzy and envious.

But no matter how envious they are, they also give their own people benefits and have nothing to do with the country.

But today, Ma Yuqing heard from his good friend that he had come to the county town to recruit workers. This is unprecedented good news!

"What are you going to be too late?" Ma Yuqing couldn't help it anymore. He didn't care that his parents had imposed a confinement on him, so he ran to the county cinema.

"If it weren't for notifying you, we would have signed up long ago!" Zu Dawei and the others complained and chased after him.

When they rushed to the cinema, they found that it was already crowded with people, and countless people who received the news flocked to the recruitment site.

"If I had known that it was so pretty, we would sign up first and then call you..." Zu Dawei was stunned when he saw the crowds of people. He didn't expect that he would go to add someone. It took less than half an hour to delay so many people came to hear the news.

In the early years, when the People's Party recruited soldiers, it also set up some places in the county cinema, but not many people signed up. Influenced by his old impression, he also thought it would be okay to be later.

He never thought that the difference between recruiting workers and recruiting soldiers was too big.

Recruiting soldiers requires wars. Not only does it mean to suffer and cross mountains and rivers, but often deal with death when fighting. It’s okay to get hurt, but bad luck will kill people! What’s the point of fear of recruiting workers? It’s just to be a worker. What’s the difference between it and domestic industrial and mining companies?

I heard that there will be no wars there, and safety is guaranteed. Even if the fight starts, it will be too late to run away!

With this mentality, almost all the unemployed young people in the county who heard the news came, more than a thousand people. By the evening, more than three thousand people had arrived to sign up, completely blocking the streets in front of the cinema. All passing vehicles had to take a detour from the next street under the command of the traffic police.

...

This scene was staged at the same time in Zhenkang County, which is close to the military sub-district.

The information on recruiting work together has aroused a huge response in the two counties and cities. There are thousands and tens of thousands of people in these two places. It is not that there are no jobs in the country, but that there are not enough jobs to accommodate these people.

They are eager to see and look forward to it for a job. The recruitment information released by the military sub-district is tantamount to them, and every family is unwilling to give up.

Since this time it was just a trial recruitment, the military sub-district only set up recruitment sites in these two cities, and the total quota was only 500 people.

In order to compete for these 500 places, unemployed young families in both cities have put all their strength into the process.

In the Northeast Military Region, which is separated from the military sub-district, the recruitment site is also set up in the center of Guogen County, which has a far greater impact than Zhenkang and Mangshi.

Unlike Zhenkang and Mangshi, which have the support of the state, as a province with mineral resources, the metallurgy and machinery industries are supported, and there are many enterprises and institutions. Although employment is tight, there is still hope. Guogen has been chieftain autonomy since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there is no change in the Republic of China period. In addition, the government has discriminated against them, so there is no industry in the local area.

After the rise of the People's Party, it fought with the military for many years, and it was full of domestic aid. The upper class did not have the mind, energy, and ability to develop the local economy.

Until now, the 130,000 people of Fruit Root still work from sunrise to sunset, and there is no modern atmosphere in the 1970s at all. The ancient rammed earth city walls, low and dark tile houses, and bumpy stone brick pavement, the entire county town is still like a city that exists in old photos.

There are only 20,000 people living in the county town of the Northeast Military Region. Among these 20,000 people, only thousands of people have fixed jobs. Most of them can only work in a temporary job and make some money to make a living.

The Northeast Military Region is also surrounded by mountains, and the only agricultural basin of dozens of square kilometers has been reduced to the other side because the Qingshui River mouth was occupied by the Weishi Army.

When the People's Army had just suffered a crushing defeat, the Northeast Military Region lived a very difficult life.

Fortunately, the construction of the 291st Brigade New City has launched a large-scale recruitment of people from the Northeast Military Region. This side is also ecstatic and sent nearly 40,000 people at once. Each person's wages of one and a half pounds of rice per day are tantamount to life-saving food, which makes 130,000 people grateful.

After the land leveling ended, the 291st Brigade finally selected 18,000 hard-working and willing people from 40,000 people, and formed a formal engineering team with the military sub-district itself.

In the words of those selected, they are "eating public meals"!

Their labor remuneration also increased their daily wage from one and a half pounds of rice every day. After a month, in addition to rice, they can also earn fifteen yuan, and they can purchase cloth, salt, MSG and other daily necessities in the 291st Brigade's external supply and marketing cooperative.

Therefore, as soon as the information about the recruitment of workers of the 291st Brigade spread, it was immediately surrounded by crowded people, inside and outside, and everyone was rushing to sign up.

As for the benefits, it is the same as they heard: basic salary, academic salary, skill salary, and performance salary. Only basic living expenses are paid during the training period. After the training is over, the salary will be paid in half. After passing the trial, the salary will be retained, and the house will be distributed!

Such good treatment is so tempted by those who have been recruited into the engineering team.

If the leaders of the engineering team had not announced in time that the engineering team workers would have enjoyed the same treatment after the three-month probation period ended. I am afraid that many workers of the engineering team would have gone to the recruitment site to register.

It took only half a day to recruit all 1,500 people.
Chapter completed!
