Chapter 260 Cousins ​​Ask for Help

Luo Cheng didn't expect that Longjin Town would change in just about two months.

The buildings and roads are still the same as when he returned home from the army a few months ago, but the town has become more lively, with children playing in the alleys. Older people, even if it is cold and wearing shabby jackets, will chat with a few people of the same age on the roadside.

As for the Chinese New Year, in the past two years, there has finally been a Chinese New Year atmosphere. Although the family doesn’t have much food, it’s still not enough to last until next spring’s harvest. It’s not that everyone will have food when spring comes, but that we have to wait until the first season’s food harvest.

But everyone has hope. When spring comes next year, not only the production team in the town will be able to raise pigs. Villagers can also adopt them and raise chickens and ducks. But it depends on the situation. You can’t just rely on the brigade to get feed on credit. Because if the scale is large, in addition to the production team's own pig feed, villagers will have to cut pig grass if they want to adopt it. If you feel you can't afford it, your children can also cut pig grass and go to the production team in exchange for work points.

As for chickens and ducks, the production team will not raise them themselves, but will distribute them to the villagers. The town does not yet have the ability to organize a chicken and duck breeding factory. The main reason is that chickens and ducks are cheap. If they get sick, it is not worth spending money to get them. But if something goes wrong, they will die in large numbers. Pigs have a strong immune system, and if they get sick, it’s worth spending money to see a veterinarian for medicine.

Not only for breeding, but also for growing grain next year in addition to the fields that have been reclaimed and fattened. Other land will be planted with various vegetables, and the automobile factory will also invite agricultural experts to guide planting according to the climate and land conditions.

The agricultural experts of this era are all experienced experts, not people who can't tell the difference between wheat and leeks. Of course, there are not many varieties of vegetables in China now, and the seeds of many vegetables have not been improved. Cucumbers are curved and are not suitable for eating. The tomatoes are not that beautiful and not that red, but the taste is very authentic. Cherry tomatoes also don’t exist.

There is no lettuce that can be eaten raw in the field, but they are all vegetables that can be eaten raw with confidence. What experts teach you is just to look at the soil and the vegetables to grow. What kind of vegetables should be grown at what time and climate. Instead of telling everyone when to apply chemical fertilizers and when to apply insecticides.

Elderly women who have no time at home can earn some money by mending shoes because of the economic cooperative. This was originally a casual job only available in the city, and it was organized by the neighborhood office to take care of some elderly women in the city who were unemployed. Now Luo Cheng has brought her to Longjin Town, and there are not many elderly people in the country. She can't make much money in a month if she is asked to sew every day.

The automobile factory can take all the sewn cloth shoes and provide benefits to the employees. This means there is no electronics factory, otherwise some workshops would have to change shoes when working.

Anyway, now Longjin Town is not rich because of the economic cooperative. After all, the town is now a merged town and has a large population. Currently, it is not possible to support so many people in the town with just the limited work and income from the cooperative. But it did ease the pressure on food in the town.

It’s hard to have enough to eat, but at least you won’t starve to death. Moreover, next year the automobile factory will arrange experts to come to the cooperative, and there will be an agreement with the town. Everyone just needs to follow what the experts say. If you make a profit, it belongs to everyone. If you lose, the seed money belongs to the automobile factory.

Moreover, there are many mountains near Longjin Town. Although there are no deep mountains and old forests, you can hunt large animals and so on. But there are a lot of local goods, and the canteen of the automobile factory will take them away by then, so you can exchange them for money or food.

Therefore, Longjin Town has indeed changed, becoming more alive and hopeful. Even if life is poor, at least he can survive.

Now the happiest people in Longjin Town are the men of the right age. Not only the rural women from other places want to marry here. There were also women fleeing famine who were directly selected. This led to a situation where it was difficult for women of marriageable age in Longjin Town to marry.

People outside the town don't want to get married. In Longjin Town, as long as everyone is willing to work, they can at least get some food. And outside, you are really going to be hungry. Many villagers in villages and towns may not be able to have a full meal during the Chinese New Year this year.

But there are only so many men of marriageable age in Longjin Town, so marrying anyone is not a marriage, and the women from other towns are now the same as the women fleeing for famine, and they don't need any bride price. Just ask for a bite to eat together.

But there is one exception, and that is Luo Cheng's two younger sisters. This time they took the holiday and followed the projectionist back to their hometown. I have only been home for a few days, and there are many matchmakers from above who want to marry me. And those who come to talk are basically the eldest sons of the family, who will at least be able to live in the family in the future.

However, they were all pushed out by Luo Cheng's mother and grandmother. It's not that the Luo family looked down on rural people. After all, Luo Cheng was the only one who left the rural household registration and became an urban household registration in Ngee Ann City. Of course, my father Luo Wen is also getting ready. He is a regular worker in the economic cooperative and a stock-level leader. His salary is higher than that of some ordinary workers, more than 38 yuan.

But receiving a salary means that there will be no food in the future, and there will be no need to farm land and vegetables. But these days, it’s impossible to have money without a ticket. To get a ticket, you can only transfer to an urban household registration and eat commercial food.

It's a pity that only Luo Wen can transfer. If the mother transfers her urban household registration, her children can actually transfer there. The household registration problem of the younger brothers and sisters can be solved. This solves the household registration problem and also solves the problem of formal employment.

The Luo family looks down on rural people, but this marriage requires a well-matched match. Xiaoyu and Shishi's current household registrations are still in Longjin Town, but they only need to work at the automobile factory for two or three years before they can become formal workers. After becoming formal workers, they can settle in the city. Become someone who eats commercial food.

So it's one thing to look down on rural people, but it's another thing whether they deserve it. You must know that Xiaoyu and the others are earning nearly 20 yuan a month even though they have rural household registration.

Of course, the most important thing is Xiaoyu and Shishi's marriage. Even parents cannot make the decision. The one who makes the decision is their eldest brother Luo Cheng. If Luo Cheng doesn't agree, it might be useless even if Xiaoyu and the others are willing.

Moreover, Shishi is still young. This year, she would only be sixteen years old. In the countryside, you can find someone if you are sixteen, but in the city, it is usually eighteen. They all live in the city now, so naturally they follow the rules in the city.

But as the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. The fact that Luo Cheng is now the director of Ngee Ann City Automobile Factory has long been no secret in the town. In addition to Luo Cheng's own family, this is actually the same for the relatives of the Luo family. However, Luo Cheng has developed too fast, and the relatives have not immediately thought about it.

No, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. In addition to the excitement and festivities before the Chinese New Year, it is also a time in many places where children’s weddings are put on the agenda.

It was easy for men in Longjin Town to find wives. Most of Luo Cheng's relatives were from the town, so it was easy to find men of marriageable age.

But~~everything is afraid of a but. This is how people are. When you are poor, if a woman is willing to follow you, you will be grateful. But when you have a lot to choose from, who wouldn’t want to find something that looks good and is fertile. So it is easy to find a wife, but it does not mean that it is easy to find a good-looking one.

In this year of famine, most men are skin and bones, let alone women. Don't say it's easy to have a baby. It's good if they lie together and don't have a stiff diaphragm.

Therefore, some girls who are a little bit pretty can still choose. Relatives related to the Luo Cheng family are the priority.

Let’s talk about the sons of Uncle Luo Cheng’s family, two sons and one daughter. The eldest son actually looks pretty good and has found a partner. But I don’t know what’s going on. The younger son’s height and appearance are quite different, and I don’t know whose genes he inherited. However, as long as the family conditions are good, it is not difficult to find a wife these days.

Originally, because of the disasters in the past two years, the uncle's family did not want to add more people to the family, so the younger son's daughter-in-law was acquired later. But now I don't have to worry about food rations, so finding a wife for my second son is on the agenda. At first, I planned to find a random one. After all, my younger son was not good at growing up, so I just wanted to find a wife who was not too ugly.

But just because the uncle's family and Luo Cheng's family are related, they are still very close. Not to mention, under the matchmaker's sharp tongue, there are really good girls who are a little interested, but there are conditions for marrying her. She was pretty, and it wasn't like she couldn't get married in Longjin Town. She could also find a tall, good-looking young man to marry. How could she be willing to marry the uncle's second son without conditions?

The condition is that they want the uncle to arrange to work in the city like his nieces and nephews, Xiaoyu and Bingzi. You can also work as a temporary worker.

The matchmaker also said that Xiaoyu and the others were arranged by their eldest brother. But this uncle is also Luo Cheng's biological uncle, and his son is also Luo Cheng's biological cousin. People have to interact with each other during the New Year. Could it be that for the sake of his own son, the uncle can't even take away the face and go to his biological brother? Rowan, please make peace.

So, the Luo Cheng family has kicked out all the matchmakers for Xiao Yu and the others, but they can't help but let the uncle and the aunt's son arrange a marriage. Even if there are uncles and aunts on my mother's side who are of marriageable age, some of them may think of Luo Cheng.

However, the children of my sister-in-law's family and my aunt's family are still young, so they don't have such troubles. The aunt Luo Juan's family is different. Her daughter Wang Yue is about the same age as Luo Shishi. She is also sixteen years old this year. Just because she knows that Luo Juan is Luo Cheng's aunt, she doesn't know how to spread the news to a certain county. Went in.

People in the county also eat commercial food. Logically speaking, it is impossible to fall in love with rural girls, but because of Luo Cheng. Everyone said that as long as Wang Yue asked his cousin for a temporary job, everyone in the county would be willing to hire her.

Therefore, before Luo Cheng returned to town, these relatives seemed to have discussed it and found Luo Wen one after another to talk about the situation of their children. These are all cousins, not outsiders. When I was a child, I always hugged Luo Wen. For many years, I always called him uncle when I met him.

Now as long as the elder brother Rowan's eldest son nods and makes arrangements, the marriage of Rowan's nephew will be settled.

How dare Rowan directly agree to such a thing, but he didn't refuse either. It all depends on whether this matter is against the rules or not. This is not like brigade work. Every day you work is counted as a work point. When there is no work to do, you will not get any work points if you take a break. What they want is a job in the city. Even if it is a temporary job, the income will still be guaranteed regardless of drought or flood. As long as people are in the factory, their monthly wages will not be less than a penny.

But even if Luo Cheng had not been asked, his father Luo Wen felt that there was a high possibility that he would agree. He found a beggar in the city and found a job in a factory. For the sake of fairness, he lied about being a distant cousin. And even if it is a real distant cousin, this can be brought into the factory. If the relatives find out, well, the cousin of unknown origin has got it in. Wouldn't it be possible to take care of these cousins?

On the 29th day of the lunar calendar, Luo Cheng came back with a commercial vehicle version 2.0. After the last product display, all commercial vehicles were sold, but it was not that the car factory was shut down at that time. During these days at the end of the year, in Zhao Before the people in the director's workshop went back, they still produced some car shells and assembled them.

Now it's good, not only did I bring the cousin I picked up, but I also brought another woman. After asking, I learned about Gao Ru's situation. To outsiders, this girl was indeed pitiful. But from another perspective, if your daughter encounters a gangster and her clothes are stripped off, even if her body is still there, if she sees it naked, she will be criticized even more in the countryside.

A tree has a skin, and a person has a face. Even though he knew it was his daughter who suffered the loss, he still felt shameless in the face of the criticism from people around him. The best way is to stay away from the place of right and wrong. If you have relatives who live far away, let your daughter go to live with them.

So even if Gao Ru is a college student, if many people know about her, they may not marry her. I'm not a very open-minded person, and I really can't get over the hurdle in my heart these days.

Come on, two people who are neither relatives nor friends have arranged jobs. It is impossible for these real relatives to refuse. This has brought about the Chinese New Year. If relatives ask what happened to these two girls, will they find another reason to lie to everyone? If this is a lie, what will happen if the paper fails to cover the fire in the future?

Therefore, as soon as Luo Cheng came back, his father told all these things to his relatives. This may be the first time I've asked for such a thing, and the reason is quite sufficient. At least they are talking about the person they are talking to, but if they really have to make arrangements, what will happen to the relatives and cousins ​​who have not been arranged.

For example, the uncle's eldest son is more than a year younger than Luo Cheng. He is already married and has a baby. I saw him last time I came here. When he was over two years old, he still called him Uncle Luo Cheng. Originally, the eldest son had a better life than the younger son, as he had a wife and children. But if Luo Chengyi helped, the uncle's second son was much shorter and not very good-looking, but he married a good-looking wife and both went to work in the city. Is the uncle being partial in this way? It is very likely that the family, which is obviously a good family, will not be able to get along and have disagreements.

After hearing his father's words, Luo Cheng felt confused. It would be easy to just help one or two people, but he was really afraid that he would not be able to finish the work after starting the task. And one thing is that his relatives all have rural registered permanent residence. Even if he arranges to work in a car factory, his identity is still a problem. Xiaoyu and the others are now registered at the subdistrict office in the form of living with relatives, and they have issued certificates at the subdistrict office.

You must know that when Xiaoyu and the others first went to the city, they were reported to have problems with the meat tickets and money when buying meat, because they had rural household registration.

Arranged to work in a car factory in the city, rural people can't even rent a house in the street office, but because Luo Cheng has a house, he can't occupy or rent more houses in his name.

The real difficulty was not the job, but the need to settle in the city. If your relatives have urban household registration, it will be easy. Not only will it be easier to arrange a job, but as long as you work hard to learn a skill, you can be hired as a regular worker after a few months of assessment.

Aunt Luo Juan said that she had found a match for her daughter in the county town. Of course, they were just talking and met once. If they want to continue talking, Luo Juan must agree to the conditions. This is actually more convenient than arranging for the uncle's house. After all, the person in the county is also considered to have an urban household registration. When you go to Ngee Ann City, you can also register at the street office and rent a house. Work matters are easier to solve. As long as you enter the factory, don't cause trouble in the name of relatives. Arranging a few people to enter the factory is nothing to Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng told his parents about working in the city, whether it was relatives from the Luo family or his mother and uncle. It's easy to get into the factory. As long as you work hard and conscientiously, there will be no problem. But even as a factory director, he cannot solve the housing problem. Even his younger brothers and sisters, as well as Zheng Xue, live in the courtyard room with Luo Cheng. There are only three rooms in total, and whoever lives in which room is registered.

There is no problem in registering other people together, or registering a cousin alone. At most, he can be registered in the same room, but how can he register his wife? Even if they were registered separately, how would they live there?

If many leaders and cadres in the city are from rural areas, why do they have so many rural relatives? It's just because they don't have the ability to help as much as they want.

If the uncle's second son wants to work in the city, he must turn over the more attractive one introduced by the matchmaker in the town. Try asking a matchmaker to go to the county town to find a girl. The girl must have a city registered permanent residence, so only one of the two has a city registered permanent residence. All accommodation problems can be solved.

When his father Luo Wen heard this, he thought that if this happened, from now on, relatives of the Luo family would not be allowed to marry but had to marry people from the city, and they would also have to marry people from the city. And with Luo Cheng arranging a job at the car factory, let alone a girl who doesn't have a job in the city, she would really be willing to do it after hearing this condition.

But this is not easy to do. If this is the case, the Luo family's reputation in Longjin Town will not be good. You look down on rural people. You have to find city people to marry and marry. Why don't you fly to the sky?
