Chapter 123 Zhang Zhouming Applies for a Job

"Zhang Zhouming, base number 108575, male, 38 years old, graduated from China Agricultural University, used to work as an agricultural technician and agricultural planner, and has a wife and two children."

Du Yuyan read out the information on the computer. When she saw that he was engaged in agricultural work, her eyes lit up. She looked at Zhang Zhouming with interest and asked with a smile: "You used to work in an agricultural company, right?"

Zhang Zhouming straightened his back and quickly responded: "Yes, before the end of the world, I worked in Chenghai Agricultural Company in China, Lima Agricultural Company of a foreign company, and Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

"I don't know if I can apply for the job!" Zhang Zhouming asked nervously, his eyes full of desire.

Du Yuyan nodded, handed over a form and said: "You will be a member of our production department from now on. Fill out this form and come to our production department to work tomorrow."

At the same time, the soldier next to him took out a small bag of rice and handed it to Zhang Zhouming. Du Yuyan explained: "This is two kilograms of rice. It will be your resettlement fee first, and it will be deducted from your salary in the future."

"Wow, someone succeeded!"

"Two kilograms of rice! This is true!"

"What, what, damn, why can he succeed? I will eliminate him. I don't accept it."

"Go, didn't you hear that they want agricultural talents? You are a high school student, what's the use."

"Hey, if I had known earlier, I would have taken the agricultural major, why the computer exam! I don't know if they want computer talents. I am very good at it."

Seeing Zhang Zhouming succeed, the survivors nearby were in a commotion. Some complained, some were jealous, and some were envious. At this moment, Zhang Zhouming became the focus of the audience, and everyone wanted to replace him.

Zhang Zhouming was so surprised that he almost jumped up. He took the small bag of food and thanked him repeatedly. He couldn't bear to let go of the bag.

This is two kilograms of food! It is enough for his family of four to eat for several days.

"I think it is not easy for you to take care of your wife and two children. Work hard in the future. If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to be promoted in the future."

Du Yuyan said, stamped the form signed by Zhang Zhouming, kept one copy and handed it to Zhang Zhouming, saying: "Take this form to report to the government building tomorrow. Don't drop it, otherwise you can't get in."

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Zhouming took the form and held it tightly in his arms. At the same time, he looked at the survivors around him vigilantly, as if he was afraid that others would snatch his form.

"Go back, report at 7 o'clock tomorrow, don't be late."

"I will definitely not be late." Zhang Zhouming retreated with the food in his arms tightly in the envious eyes of others.

There were soldiers patrolling around, so he was not afraid that someone would dare to steal his food, but he was used to being alert and always felt that every survivor was a jackal, and his food would be stolen if he was not careful.

In the tension along the way, Zhang Zhouming broke out in a cold sweat and finally returned to his home, a low bungalow.

There were hundreds of survivors living in the three-story old building. Because Zhang Zhouming was a family of four, he did not live together like other survivors, but four people were assigned to live in a small room of 15 square meters.

"Dad, why are you back!" A little boy who was sorting wild vegetables at the door saw Zhang Zhouming, his dry little face showed a happy smile, walked quickly to Zhang Zhouming, held his hand and said: "My sister is crying again, saying that she is hungry. Dad, why don't I go out of the city with you to find food, so that my sister won't be hungry."

Zhang Zhouming's heart ached, and he almost shed tears. He held the little boy back to the room and said: "Dad has food, you take good care of mom and sister at home, and Dad will earn food."

Zhang Zhouming said, took out the bag of food from his arms and put it in the little boy's hand.

The room was very simple, except for a rotten wooden bed, a small dining table with a missing leg, and even a stool. It was too simple.

In addition to Zhang Zhouming and the little boy, there was a haggard woman and a little girl crying with a bitter face in the room. It was very strange to see Zhang Zhouming come back before noon.

Even more strange was the small bag he took out. Was there really food in it? How could he get the food in it in a few hours? Normally, you can't catch so many insects or dig so many wild vegetables!

"Wow, rice! So much rice!" The little boy opened the bag and opened his mouth in surprise. The dazzling white rice made the little boy cheer and shout.

"Rice!" The little girl stopped crying and ran to the little boy and shouted, "Brother, brother, show me, show me."

When she saw the full grains of rice, the little girl's tender face also showed a happy smile. She smiled and said to the woman lying on the bed, "Mom, look, Dad brought back so much rice."

"Husband, where did you get the rice?" The woman seemed to think of something, and her face changed and said, "You didn't go to the city center to steal, did you? If you are found, you will be beaten to death by the soldiers. Fatty Liu next door was killed like this last time. Don't do anything stupid!"

"Don't worry, I won't do such a stupid thing!" Zhang Zhouming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly helped his wife who was struggling to get up, explained what happened today, and took out the form to make his wife believe that the rice was legally obtained.

At noon, the long-lost smell of rice wafted through Zhang Zhouming's home. The two children kept swallowing their saliva and stared at the rice in the bowl with shining eyes.

They were used to eating porridge as light as water, disgusting insects and bitter wild vegetables. Now such a bowl of ordinary white rice was placed in front of them, which made them excited.

They didn't know how long they hadn't eaten such rice, one month or two months, anyway, it was so long that they almost forgot the smell of rice.

"Eat!" As soon as Zhang Zhouming, the head of the family, opened his mouth, the two children cheered, holding the rice bowl and began to wolf it down, eating rice grains in their mouths, and their cute little faces showed happy smiles.

"Husband, you should work hard in the production department in the future, don't lose this golden rice bowl."

Zhang Zhouming's wife said to Zhang Zhouming while eating rice with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, this job is not only related to our family's food, but also to our family's status. You didn't see how jealous those onlookers were when I successfully applied for the job. In the future, I will work in the government building in the city center. When I make money, I will take you to live in the city center and buy a good house instead of living in this shabby bungalow."

Zhang Zhouming ate the rice quickly and said firmly to his wife.

"Well, I believe your husband, with your agricultural talent, will definitely stand out in the production department."

"Definitely!" Zhang Zhouming secretly clenched his fists. He must seize this opportunity no matter what, because it will definitely change his fate of hunger and cold.

"Come on, Dad!"

"Dad. The best!"

The two children said vaguely with rice in their mouths.

Because of a reform, the fate of Zhang Zhouming's family has changed, and this reform will definitely benefit more survivors and affect the entire Lishan Base.
