Chapter 167 Voluntary Publicity
When the neighbors heard that Ma San's mother was saying flattering words, they didn't think much about it. It was normal to praise others when one wanted to ask for something.
He Yuzhu looked meaningfully at the neighbor who had just been talkative in front of Ma San's mother. That was the daughter-in-law of Chen Wu in the front yard.
With names like Ma San and Chen Wu, no one knows whether they are formal names or nicknames, but they have been called that way ever since. However, few people know their scientific names.
The ranking of Chinese people has always been a very complicated matter. There are rankings among brothers, cousins, and of course people of the same clan.
So in later generations, we often hear people calling them "Little Forty, Brother Seventeen..." in film and television works. Don't be surprised. It doesn't necessarily mean that their fathers are able to give birth, but it may be because their families are large.
What surprised He Yuzhu was that he and Chen Wu's family seemed to have never had any conflicts, so why did Chen Wu's wife want to stir up trouble?
He Yuzhu didn't think much about it, but smiled and said to Ma San's mother: "Brother Ma San is pretty good, right?
I heard that he will be on the first list of people to join the factory next spring!"
Ma San's mother is waiting for this.
Originally, she didn't expect He Yuzhu to know this. She waited for He Yuzhu to say a few polite words before she revealed the news.
Of course He Yuzhu said this, which made Ma San's mother even happier.
She just has poor eyesight, but her heart is not blind. Now her family in the Central Courtyard has offended the Jia family and the Yi family. Naturally, the deaf old lady, an ally of the two families, is also at odds with the Ma family.
If He Yuzhu is offended again, the entire Ma family will be enemies.
Ma San's mother smiled and said, "Director Wang felt sorry for our Ma family and gave us a way out."
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Then let Brother Ma San do his job well. Brother Ma San will have a son soon. As long as he is willing to work hard, under D's leadership, our lives will get better and better."
Ma San's mother came out today just to let everyone know that her son will soon have a proper job, and that everyone no longer needs to treat Ma San as a street kid.
It is an animal's instinct to roll in mud, but not all animals like that or like to pile up smelly mud on their bodies.
Mostly for protection against mosquitoes, camouflage, and sun protection.
The same goes for the lower class people. As long as they are given a job that can support their family and not be bullied, who would be willing to be annoyed like a fly on the street?
At least Ma San's mother didn't want to, so she wanted to prove it for her son.
The conversation between the two did arouse everyone's curiosity, and most people congratulated Ma San's mother on her hard work and wishing she could enjoy a happy life in the future.
Ma San's mother was so happy that tears came to her eyes.
Today, Ma San's mother's back was very straight, as if she had never had such a straight back since the Ma family moved into the courtyard and when Old Ma was still alive.
He Yuzhu was preparing to carry his things home while everyone was surrounding Ma San's mother.
But he heard a voice behind him calling him.
"Zhuzi, Brother Zhuzi, I want to ask you something." A female voice called.
He Yuzhu looked back and saw that it was Chen Wu's daughter-in-law.
He Yuzhu said calmly, "Sister-in-law of the Fifth Brother, wait a moment, I'll take the things in first."
When He Yuzhu came out again, Chen Wu's wife was standing at the door, taking small steps anxiously, twisting the corners of her clothes with both hands, and it looked like she was about to twist them into a dough twist. When she saw He Yuzhu coming out, she breathed a sigh of relief.
He Yuzhu had been in there for quite some time, so he couldn't just put things directly on the table.
If you're not careful and let mice destroy it, it's going to be a big waste.
Although there are not many rats now, after all, they were wiped out once in the first half of the year. The children in the yard did a lot of work to fill the rat holes.
But there are always some that slip through the net.
Of course, He Yuzhu also wanted to seduce Chen Wu's wife.
This thing can be used to take revenge on the spot.
He Yuzhu asked curiously: "Sister-in-law Chen, what do you want to ask me?"
"Brother Zhuzi, let me apologize to you first. I didn't keep my mouth shut just now and almost got you into trouble." They were all smart people. After He Yuzhu stayed inside for more than ten minutes, Chen Wu's wife knew that she had to reflect on herself.
Of course, it could also be related to the fact that the neighbors in the courtyard had dispersed. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's okay. Everyone has a time to be talkative. Brother Chen Wu and I live in the front and back yards. Although we don't have much friendship, I have never offended him.
I know my sister-in-law didn’t mean it.”
He Yuzhu is now learning to hurt others with his words.
Although every word expresses forgiveness and indifference, if you listen carefully, you will find that it is accusing Chen Wu's wife of looking for trouble.
Chen Wu's wife's face turned red, but she mumbled something incoherent.
He Yuzhu was too lazy to tease this big and strong old woman, and said directly: "Sister-in-law Chen, if you have something to say, just tell me."
Chen Wu's wife took a deep breath and then said, "Brother Zhuzi, is what you just said about the street gang arranging jobs true?"
He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "That's for sure, we built so many factories last year and this year, and we will build more in the future.
Doesn’t the government just want everyone to have a job and food to eat?
The street has been conducting an investigation and will help arrange jobs for anyone who has no problems at home and indeed has idle labor.
I guess this matter will be publicized door to door on this street next year.
As for Ma San, I guess Director Wang came over last time and saw that his family was indeed in difficulty, so he made some arrangements for him in advance."
This concerns the street policy. Even if He Yuzhu and Chen Wu's wife don't get along, He Yuzhu won't talk nonsense.
In fact, He Yuzhu actually inquired about this matter.
Because this time point overlaps with the time when he entered the steel mill in his previous life.
In his previous life, it was also after the Chinese New Year. He Yuzhu came back from doing odd jobs outside. Yi Zhonghai suddenly found him and said that He Yuzhu had reached the age.
Yi Zhonghai claimed that he found someone at the steel rolling mill and used his connections to allow He Yuzhu to start work officially.
In his previous life, He Yuzhu was naturally grateful to Yi Zhonghai, and he also ridiculed the street staff who later entered the yard to spread propaganda.
It’s nothing more than that no one cares about me when I’m hungry.
When his problems were solved, the street officials came to offer him warmth.
Whenever he thought of this incident during this period, He Yuzhu wanted to slap himself twice.
Damn, you have a pig brain.
Was that Yi Zhonghai’s timely help?
That was because Yi Zhonghai was afraid that the street would spread the matter in the alley, so he could not do any favors for the He family.
Maybe he was also afraid that He Yuzhu would get out of control.
……
Chen Wu's wife was not the only one who heard He Yuzhu's words. Most people's attention was focused on this side.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu simply stood at the door and said: "For this matter, everyone needs someone of the right age at home, and think about their education, age, physical condition, and what they can do.
I guess after the spring, street office staff will come down to register.
The street referral work is free of charge.”
