Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 65 High School Classmates

It is true that the salary of high school students is higher than that of ordinary workers. Li Fang herself earns more than 35 yuan a month now. However, with a clerical job, it is difficult to continue her studies. For example, if she works as a propaganda person in a factory, she will still be a propaganda person for several years. , it’s normal to not get any salary increase at all. Some of the heads and directors of the publicity department are like carrots and pitfalls. Without transfer, others will have no chance of promotion.

As for workers, if they have someone to teach them and they are willing to learn, they can also receive skill assessments, upgrade their grades and increase their wages.

The only advantage of a civilian job is that the work is easy, but the benefits are few. Many units with heavy labor and light labor are provided with certain rationed food subsidies, so don’t even think about civilian jobs.

As for university, some of her classmates must have gone to university, but Li Fang didn’t know that there was no university in Ngee Ann. Coupled with the famine in the past two years, life has been difficult. Many students who are not near Ngee Ann City have no contact with them. Just like Luo Cheng, if he didn’t know Yi An, he would also become a member of the high school who lost contact.

The two of them were walking and chatting. What Luo Cheng didn’t expect was that Li Fang, who was the same age as him, was already the mother of two children. After graduating from high school, her family arranged a blind date for her, who was also a worker. Her husband worked in a coal factory.

The coal factory is also a very good unit. Although the salary is similar to other factories, the benefits in winter are good. When the weather gets cold, there are more people burning coal stoves, and briquettes are indispensable. There is no problem for any cooperating units to send some notes to each other.

For example, if the meat joint factory orders meat coupons to the coal factory, and the coal factory gives some coal coupons to the meat joint factory, and then distributes them to the employees below as benefits, everyone will be very happy. Some companies that are not popular have few benefits and make demands on others.

Let’s just talk about shit tickets. Rural people can’t get them if they want them, and it’s useless for urban people to get them. But sometimes people come to visit me for help, so I give them some face. Will exchange some bills.

There is nothing interchangeable with other auto repair shops, but many units that have their own cars will give them a small number of tickets during the Chinese New Year. Anyway, the total number of employees in the repair shop is less than 100. Therefore, when the Chinese New Year comes, the employees of the repair shop can receive various receipts.

The same goes for the bus station. The bus station and the trucks transporting goods have not yet been separated, and they are all managed and dispatched by the transportation station. Therefore, units that need trucks to pull goods must also interact.

As for Li Fang’s match factory, although it seems that every household needs this, a box of matches only costs one cent, and it is not uncommon for employees to receive this item as welfare. Families in the province may not be able to use one or two boxes of matches a month. That is, smokers often use it.

Therefore, the ticket benefits of the match factory are not very good. Fortunately, there are many cooperative units, and the ticket types are many, but the amount is not much.

It’s already November, and many units are already considering New Year’s benefits. If workers don’t receive good New Year benefits, it’s very shameful for the factory.

The conversation is almost over. Li Fang can be considered as taking care of his high school classmate. There is nothing to take care of such a small thing as matches. But when the weather is cold, if you want to buy briquettes, go to her directly. She will definitely give him good briquettes, first-class, no. I would give second-class ones that are often chipped.

He also told Luo Cheng that when he meets his high school classmates in the future, he will also tell them about his work in an auto repair shop. There are many friends and many paths, let alone high school classmates.

Luo Cheng suddenly felt that it was really good to have classmates, unlike later generations who went their separate ways after graduation and it was difficult to keep in touch. As Li Fang said, classmates can take care of each other. Not to mention the Chinese New Year, many people in the city also use coal stoves to boil water and cook things. To buy briquettes, you must ask Li Fang and ask her husband to help. Although it can’t be cheap or pay less, who is willing to use broken briquettes if they have good ones.

Bidding farewell to Li Fang, Luo Cheng went to the auto repair shop. Captain Zhang promised to lend him a bicycle yesterday, so he didn’t need anyone to accompany him to the street today.

Arriving at the factory gate, Captain Zhang saw Luo Cheng and greeted Luo Cheng first. The security department usually has three people during the day and two at night. As the captain, Zhang Feng has a small privilege. He does not work the night shift, and the other four take turns. However, if someone on the night shift needs to take some time off, Zhang Feng will take his place at night. This means I have to work night shifts several days a month.

Captain Zhang gave the key to the bicycle lock to Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng had never ridden a 28-bar bicycle, but he knew how to ride a bicycle. He often rode shared bicycles when he was in school.

The racks of the 28 bicycles are much larger than those of shared bicycles. Luo Cheng first went to the factory director and the human resources department to say hello. The factory director learned that he had been busy at the bus station with most of the repair workers in the factory until midnight yesterday. Not to mention no overtime pay, I still have to go to work as normal the next day.

It’s not that there is no overtime pay for overtime work in this era, but that there is no overtime pay for units such as auto repair shops. Because there are no production tasks and no designated tasks, even if Zhang Lin is the factory director, he cannot declare overtime pay. Only certain production plants will organize overtime work because of heavy orders and tasks. Such overtime work is recorded in reports and it is normal to pay overtime pay.

In car repairs, if you are busy until midnight during unexpected times, you will need to pay overtime. So when there are few vehicles or there are no cars to repair, can we not be paid if there is no work to do?

After saying hello, Luo Cheng rode Captain Zhang’s bicycle and walked around the factory yard twice. Luo Cheng’s height is not bad, but if he is small, it would be difficult to ride a 28-bar bicycle, and Xiao Liu from the security department is not too tall. If you are short and have short legs, if you want to sit down and ride, you may pedal on the left pedal of the bicycle, and you have to follow it diagonally. When the speed is fast, you don’t need to press the pedal to the bottom. When the bicycle is turning, it will follow the inertia of the pedal and automatically turn up.

Therefore, this 28-bar bike is not friendly to short people, but it doesn’t matter to young children. They can ride directly from the bottom of the frame, standing diagonally across the bike, without sitting on the seat.

After feeling okay, Luo Cheng rode his bike to the street to do the job.

After arriving at the sub-district office, things will be done quickly today. Unless Luo Cheng wants to choose another place, he has to decide which apartment he wants. The sub-district office can just give Luo Cheng the key directly. The person from the sub-district office does not need to Ran.

Then register Luo Cheng’s material certificates, stamp a few stamps, and you will have Luo Cheng’s grain book and non-staple food book. With this, urban residents can really eat commercial grain.

If you buy grain books and non-staple food books registered in these areas, you have to go to designated places to get them. If you don’t buy all the grain in the grain books, you can exchange them for food stamps and get them. The food stamps you get are actually Can be used throughout the city.

The more people you know, the easier it is to get along. These days, many people will consciously stick together. Circle after circle. The circle of high school classmates is a very good circle. Those who can go to high school, it is said that high school students are not allocated or there is no targeted allocation, and basically high school students can find jobs. , secondary schools and universities are allocated in targeted packages.

The circle of high school students means that they are all circles of working people. They may not be used in ordinary times, but when needed, they may be remembered. So high school classmates would take the initiative to contact me from time to time.
