However, the factory does not recruit people every day, so Lu Cheng has to wait for the opportunity. She is too old and cannot enter the various training classes of the military and political school. However, she does not feel it is a pity at all, because a girl from her neighbor finally got into the exam.
After getting her C diploma, she excitedly signed up for a nurse training class - she heard that she could treat people, but she was so scared that she ran away when she saw human specimens for the first time. From then on, she would tell a lot of scary stories every time she came back from school.
This incident made Lu Cheng feel that "entering the work unit" was a very scary thing.
Today, her father brought her a message: "Some kind of security bureau is recruiting people, you should go and see it tomorrow!"
"Security Bureau?" Although Lu Cheng was no longer unfamiliar with the "Newspeak" that was everywhere in Lingao, he still couldn't understand the endless weird meanings in it.
"I don't know either." Lu Bai pulled the towel embroidered with the red words "Labor is Glorious" from his neck, washed it in the wash water brought by Lu Cheng, and wiped his face, "It's probably the rural brave team,
A place like Tuanju!”
"Can you want a woman in a place like that?" Lu Cheng wondered.
"The chiefs have deep thoughts. How did dad make it clear that Zuo was just working as an errand for the chiefs?" Lu Bai said.
Lu Shouye also said: "It's true, there are notices posted in the field department. There is no restriction on male or female. The age must be under 23, and you must have a C diploma. Isn't it suitable for my sister? It's easier to work for the chief than to work in the factory. You see
Mom works three shifts every day and it’s very hard!”
Lu Cheng was moved. If she could have a job, it would be of great help to her family. The next day she went to the commune headquarters to see the notice.
As expected, there was a big notice on the bulletin board. Many people were watching and talking about it. A clerk from the commune was reading loudly next to him. Lu Cheng knew a few words at home, so he didn't put in much effort after arriving in Lingao.
After getting a C diploma, it is no problem to read the announcement.
The conditions on the notice were the same as those mentioned by her brother: no limit to male or female, unmarried, between 16 and 23 years old, with a C diploma. What about the benefits? Her eyelids heated up after taking a look at it: 200 yuan for settling-in allowance, and a probation period salary.
30 yuan per month, and 55 yuan in circulation coupons per month after formal employment, which is a lot! Dad works as an accountant on a farm, and his monthly income is only 60 yuan.
But when he looked down and saw that the condition was that he had to work away from home, Lu Cheng suddenly became worried - he was a single woman going to work alone. When she was Xiaojiabiyu, she really didn't dare to think about it, but she had been wandering outside for a few months.
This has made her a lot more courageous. But do she really want to work alone?
In the end, the idea of reducing the family burden prevailed. After going home and discussing with her family, the next day she issued a household registration certificate at the village office and went to the field department to apply. Several people wore blue tight-fitting short coats and tied
The person who took the belt looked at her household registration certificate and C-diploma, asked her many questions, and even asked her to read an article in Newspeak and write a few words on the spot. Then they met in a small room between two people.
He took off his clothes in front of the nurse and performed a physical examination.
Then the height and weight were measured. Then the nurse asked her to trot on the spot, jump, and then kick her legs. Lu Cheng felt very humiliated that she had to do all this naked. While hesitating, Nian
The longer nurse pulled out the cane from her hand.
"Why are you so shy?! Jump!" Then she received several hot blows on her butt, thighs and back.
Lu Cheng, who wanted to cry but didn't dare, quickly completed all the actions. Finally, she was asked to look at a picture hanging on the wall. She could barely see the direction of the smallest row of graphics.
"Visual vision is 'excellent'." The nurse wrote something else on the white paper clipped to the wooden board in her hand.
Finally, the nurse's eyes fell on her feet - Lu Cheng has "liberated feet". She had her feet bound in the past, but during the months of wandering, it was difficult to walk on her feet, and she didn't have the time or energy to wash and bind them every day.
Let go. After arriving in the refugee camp, foot binding is not allowed. The Australian chief executive is very strict about this: not only are girls' feet not allowed to be bound, but all women who have had their feet bound must also let their feet go. If they can't, they will be forced to let their feet go. Lu Cheng
I personally saw several women in the quarantine camp who "would rather die than let go". The leaders did not want them to die, but just sent their whole family to the labor camp. What would be the consequences of being there? The immigrants were all confused.
Know.
"It's a pity that I have to free my feet." Following these words, a young man walked in from behind the curtain. The naked Lu Cheng was so embarrassed that he immediately squatted down.
"Stand up!" the nurse yelled, "this is the chief!"
Because she was afraid of being beaten, Lu Cheng stood up slowly - the chief minister of Australia is her master, and it is only natural that the master wants his slave to do anything - but her shame made her continue to cover her pubic area and genitals with her hands.
house.
The young man looked her up and down with interest, and the nurse scolded her again: "Put your hands down!"
Lu Cheng didn't dare to disobey, but he covered his face in shame and trembled all the time.
"Nice figure!" the chief commented, and then sighed with regret, "The feet are a flaw."
"Yes, but she was released early, and it seems that her foot shape has recovered well."
"Hmm." The chief seemed a little dissatisfied, "Is it okay to walk and run?"
"According to Chief Nurse Zhang, it won't have much impact," the nurse said respectfully.
"Forget it, let's pass it." The chief thought for a while and said, "There are too few girls signing up."
So when she got dressed and came out, a blue stamp had been stamped on the physical examination form. One night five days after returning home, she received the admission notice.
"Congratulations, you are now on official service." The person who came to inform was the police stationed in the village. The stationed policeman was wearing a tight-fitting black double-breasted jacket that Lu Cheng found ridiculous, and a cloth hat on his head that looked like a plate.
, wearing leggings and a stick hanging from his waist.
The stationed policeman is similar to the former fast-shift yamen officer in the county, but he lives in the village with his whole family. He is very kind and does not extort money from time to time like the yamen officers.
As the only person in the village who receives a "salary" and eats "public food", the resident policeman is a role that all the villagers respect - you must know that the most powerful village chief and militia captain only receive subsidies from the commune, and only
Only the stewards of the commune - or "cadres" as they were called in Newspeak - were paid.
When the whole family heard that Lu Cheng had been admitted, they were all happy, but also quite sad - after all, they were leaving home to make a living. Lu Bai and his wife couldn't help but shed tears.
"Okay, don't be sad. Your daughter has to go to the General Security Bureau," the stationed policeman shook his head. "This is the personal security department of the chiefs. I want to go on duty but I can't go!" He turned his head as he said this.
Come and say to Lu Cheng, "Work hard and you will be prosperous in the future!"
The resident police officer said that he would come to pick Lu Cheng up early tomorrow morning to go to the field department. Lu Cheng knew that there were two other boys in the village who had signed up and were selected.
"You don't need to bring anything with you. The government will give it to you." The resident policeman warned her, "If you bring anything with you, you will have to return it to the venue. Just go with all your clothes on."
Early the next morning, the police stationed in the village sent three people from the village to the commune. Then he said a few words of comfort to everyone and left. The young leader who had seen her naked was also present, and Lu Cheng saw
He couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
There were seven trainees from the General Security Bureau selected in the entire Calais commune. Lu Cheng was the only female. The young chief said a few words of encouragement to them. The seven people were taken to the commune station and waited for a special visit.
The oxcart that picked them up. Lu Cheng looked at the six strange and confused people around her. She realized that this was the first time she was completely separated from familiar people. Only the clothes she was wearing were brought from the village. She looked out the window blankly.
, a road extends into the distance.
Several oxcarts took the admitted students from the Calais Commune to the Yerba Cao Education Park. They were then taken into a courtyard with sentries standing guard. In addition to them, there were more than thirty male and female teenagers of similar ages in the courtyard.
"Line up! No. 100 Ren Commune, No. 2 Bopu Commune, No. 3 Nanbao Commune, and No. 4 Calais Commune." A clerk blew a sharp whistle and shouted in the yard to maintain order.
The students lined up crowded together, and another clerk held a wooden folder at the door and shouted their names loudly:
"Bai Ren Commune, chlorophyll!"
A young man of eighteen or nineteen hurried up.
"Idiot," he was scolded before he could stand upright. The clerk scolded him, "Can't you shout 'arrive'? Try again!"
Chlorophyll quickly shouted "Here it comes!" before being put in.
Calais Commune was ranked fourth. Lu Cheng waited for almost an hour before she heard her name being called. She quickly shouted "arrive".
In the main room, several people with the appearance of chiefs were sitting behind the table. Among them was a white and fat chief.
"Lu Cheng!" As soon as she walked in and stood firm, the clerk standing on the side began to read out her registration information loudly, "Female, 20 years old, unmarried, place of residence: Calais Commune. Ingredients: small owners. Culture: C diploma
.”
Several chiefs looked at the pages in front of them and then looked at her appearance. The young chief said: "She is a girl. She wants to go to a training class, right?"
"No, I will be assigned to the security cadre training class." said the fat chief among them.
So Lu Nan went to the security cadre training class. After a quick review of all the students, they were assigned to three short training classes, namely "Investigation Cadre Training Class", "Security Cadre Training Class" and "Confidential Personnel Training Class". There were
Several people were eliminated—sent home without any explanation.
After she came out, a clerk gave her a small bamboo sign: "Put it around your neck!"
Then each student received a large backpack. The students carried the large bags and went to the backyard under the leadership of the clerk.
"Girls, come here!" A female clerk came and greeted Lu Nan and several other female students - they were taken to the side hospital.
