Jia Laodian walked into the house with a perturbed heart and placed the snack box in his hand gently on the table.
Jia Zhangshi, who was putting away the soles of her shoes, heard the commotion and looked up to see Old Jia carrying a snack box back. She knew that the matter must not have been completed, so she said angrily,"Jia Laodian, you trash. You can't even arrange your son's work properly. What use do you have? I'm really unlucky to have married you in this life!”
"Mom, it's not that I'm useless. You know the current situation. In the past two years, the population of the city has more than doubled.”
"Many children of meritorious officials are still waiting for work arrangements. It's even harder for us ordinary people's children to find a job now.”
Old Jia explained with an aggrieved expression.
In fact, before the Liberation, he wanted Jia Dongxu to learn electrical engineering from him, but Jia Zhangshi was worried that her precious son would also be impotent from the electricity. She didn't want him to learn electrical engineering, but wanted him to learn Tan family dishes from He Daqing. However, He Daqing refused.
Jia Dongxu couldn't bear to learn other things.
He couldn't achieve anything high or low, so his work dragged on for a few years until he found a wife. He realized that he couldn't find a good wife without a job.
Only then did Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu become anxious. They urged Jia Laodian to help them find a job every day.
"Don't tell me this. How can Silly Zhu and Xu Damao work in the factory? In the end, you're the one who doesn't have the ability."
Jia Zhangshi thought about how even Shazhu and Xu Damao, who were several years younger than her son, could enter the factory to work, while her son was still unemployed and was being pointed at. She was so angry that she threw the sole of her shoe at Jia Laodian.
"Xu Fugui is Lou Zhenhua's driver, and He Daqing is the chef of the Tan family. It would be very humiliating for him to work in our factory's canteen. The factory will definitely compensate him.”
Old Jia bent down and picked up the sole. He came to Jia Zhangshi's side with a smile and handed the sole to her.
"Old Jia, your words remind me. Why don't we ask Xu Fugui for help? If he can put in a good word for us in front of Manager Lou, maybe our Dongxu's job will be secured.”
Jia Zhangshi took the sole and said to Old Jia.
"With that guy's personality, not to mention helping, it's already good enough that he didn't report us to the factory manager. You're completely desperate.”
"Besides, Xu Fugui doesn't get along with He Daqing. If I let He Daqing misunderstand and disgust him, I'll suffer a lot when I get food in the cafeteria in the future.”
Old Jia refused without thinking.
If he offended He Daqing and was scolded by Jia Zhangshi in the future, no one would help him.
Moreover, he had been freeloading at He Daqing's house many times over the years.
"Are you stupid?"
"How would He Daqing know if you secretly went to him? If Xu Fugui can really help our Dongxu find a job, then we don't need that small favor!”
Jia Zhangshi poked Old Jia's forehead with her finger.
She still had a lot of complaints about He Daqing's refusal to accept her son as his disciple. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to worry about her job.
Old Jia nodded." Then I'll go and find Xu Fugui to try."”
……
He Daqing walked out of the courtyard. The sun was so bright, but he didn't want to walk to Dongsi Market. He spent five cents to take a bus.
Dongsi Market was the largest gathering place for vendors in the 49 City. It was known as the " best of all markets ".
After getting off the car, he saw the conspicuous Dongsi archway. In this era, archways that could be seen everywhere were undoubtedly one of the characteristics of Sijiu City.
Even at two in the afternoon, the streets were still crowded with people and all kinds of hawking sounds could be heard.
He Daqing wiped the sweat off his forehead and spent four cents on a popsicle. He then strolled around. The only pity was that he didn't have a camera with him.
However, after the reconstruction of the Fourth East Market was completed, he could buy these imported high-end things.
He had already decided to earn more money five years ago and buy everything he could.
They strolled around and bought food along the way. There was nothing they could do. There were too many delicious things in this era.
Seven to eight catties of soft-shelled turtles and about one catty of eels.
In this era where there was no pesticide, no fertilizer, and no pollution, these wild ones were all delicious.
" Flying Dragon, Flying Dragon…"
The Flying Dragon Bird's scientific name was Hazel Grouse. It was known as the " Heavenly Dragon Meat " and was one of the Eight Treasures.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was listed as a treasure that was paid tribute to the royal family. It was known as the " year-old bird."
He Daqing was immediately attracted by the peddler's voice. He quickly ran over and saw two big flying dragons and five small flying dragons in the cage.
"Comrade, do you want a flying dragon?" Qin Huiru asked with a smile when she saw He Daqing staring at the Wyvern in the cage.
"How much is your flying dragon?"
He Daqing raised his head and realized that the girl in front of him was very beautiful. When she smiled, her charm rippled. This was a woman who exuded seductiveness from her bones. Her smile was constantly seducing men and affecting their nerves.
However, the more he looked at her, the more she looked like Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu smiled and replied," Not just for sale. Seven of them, big and small, cost 15 yuan each."”
According to He Daqing's memory, Flying Dragons were indeed about six yuan each.
The main reason was that prices were generally high now. This was also the reason why the country later wanted to build department stores and engage in public-private partnership.
Such a good thing had not been sold yet. It was probably because the little Wyvern was too expensive.
"I want it. How much is this rabbit?”He Daqing pointed at the three rabbits in the cage and asked.
