Chapter 163 Not Becoming a Regular Member

The end of the year has come in the blink of an eye. On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year atmosphere begins to rise.

People’s lives are very tight these days, so the more they value the Spring Festival.

After a year of hard work, no matter what the family conditions are, everyone tries their best to eat, drink and dress well these days.

Having a happy and prosperous time during the Spring Festival indicates that there will be good days throughout the coming year.

It is no exaggeration to say that saving money for the New Year is a tradition of many families in this era. Some people cannot save money and have to borrow money from relatives and friends to weigh a few pounds of meat.

Even enterprises and institutions have longer annual holidays than in later generations.

After the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Chuxia and their cooked food business began to pick up, and many customers would rather spend more money to eat Qin’s cooked food.

Of course, more people went to the food factory shops for the sake of cheapness, but there were still many people buying prepared food at the end of the year.

In the winter in the north, the outdoors is a natural refrigerator. Almost every household will prepare food in advance so that they can take it out and eat it whenever friends and relatives come to visit.

Lin Chuxia didn’t manage the bun shop and the courtyard at this moment, so she left it to Qin Han and Su Wensong. She took advantage of the time before the various units had their holidays to go out and about.

Now that their cooked food has formal packaging, Lin Chuxia also customized a batch of gift boxes, which are perfect for giving as gifts.

At this time, Lin Chuxia once again missed the car in the future.

Once the luggage is in the trunk, you can put as many Maozi and Huazi as you want and take them out whenever you need them. It is not a problem to visit several stores in a day.

Now, I can only ride my bicycle and deliver them one by one.

Fortunately, the main compound and the family compound are close to each other now, and the entire Ancheng County is only a few kilometers in radius.

It was getting dark when Lin Chuxia came out of Xu Changping’s house.

The snow that fell a while ago has melted in the middle of the road, but there is still ice and snow in some places.

It was fine when the sun was shining in the afternoon, but when the temperature dropped in the evening, everything was frozen solid. If you were not careful when riding a bike on it, you would fall.

Lin Chuxia pushed the bike out of the machinery factory staff quarters and saw Su Wenmao walking out of the alley next to her.

He was originally not tall, and now he looked dejected, with something in his hands, like a dog that had lost its home.

I just mentioned this person at Xu Changping’s home. At the end of the year, employees were evaluated and those who should be transferred were transferred, and those who should be converted to regular employees were converted. Su Wenmao was the only one who was not converted.

In Xu Changping’s words, his work ability is average and his conduct is bad. Even if the machinery factory does not fire him, they will definitely not re-employ him.

Lin Chuxia knew that Xu Changping had bought this from her. After all, she had mentioned Su Wenmao in front of Xu Changping before.

In a state-owned factory like a machinery factory, once you get in, you generally have a stable job. No matter how poor your work ability is, at most you won’t be given a promotion and will be a first-class worker for the rest of your life.

For someone like Su Wenmao who failed to get a permanent job, it must be Xu Changping’s doing.

Su Wenmao appeared in the machinery factory’s staff quarters at this time, probably trying to build some connections, but the result seemed to be unsatisfactory.

Lin Chuxia felt happy and returned to the bun shop at the train station.

Just then, I saw Su Wensong coming back from outside and told him the news.

Su Wensong sneered and spat out the word “you” viciously.

Su Wenmao’s current fate really made him feel vented.

“Boss Lin, you don’t know how they forced me to admit that I voluntarily gave up my job to Su Wenmao. I didn’t want to sign, so they teamed up with the street office to forge a document and forced Su Wenmao to take my job. At that time, I couldn’t even ask for an explanation.”

That period of time can be said to be the darkest time for Su Wensong, more torturous than the hard work he endured in the countryside.

Lin Chuxia patted his shoulder and said, “It’s all over now. Fortunately, you didn’t go to work in the machinery factory, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to find such a qualified employee. At that time, I, a self-employed person, couldn’t compete with the iron rice bowl of the machinery factory.”

At her words, Su Wensong also laughed, “I am lucky to meet Mr. Lin. For someone like Su Wenmao, let him be an apprentice in the machinery factory for life.” “Yes, let him be an apprentice there for life. It depends on whether he can endure it.”

……………………

Su Wenmao really couldn’t bear it anymore. He didn’t have to be an apprentice for the rest of his life. When the evaluation results came out, he was the only apprentice who had not been converted to a regular employee. The strange looks from his colleagues made him wish he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He is not very active at work and his colleagues have many complaints about him, and he knows all this.

But so what? As long as you get into the machinery factory, you have a stable job.

By then, he will just muddle through the days and get regular ratings with them, so that they can just bear it even if they don’t like it.

Unexpectedly, he was not on the list of regular employees.

The mocking and sarcastic looks from his colleagues made him wish he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He took leave these days and went around, trying to use his connections to get a permanent job, but he kept running into obstacles.

He was very puzzled. The apprentice could not be converted to a regular employee. This was a common problem that had never happened before in a machinery factory.

When she got home, Su’s mother was still waiting for news. When she saw someone coming back, she hurried to greet him.

“How is it going? Have you been promised a permanent position?”

Su Wenmao stuffed the thing in his hand directly into Su’s mother’s arms.

The items haven’t been delivered yet, is there any need to ask about the results?

Su Dazhuang has been very worried these days, sitting in the house smoking one cigarette after another.

Su’s mother was still asking, “Why do you say no? There must be a reason why you are not allowed to become a regular employee. You have been doing this internship for such a long time, how can you not be a regular employee by the end of the year?”

Su Wenmao pouted, “They said that I, the apprentice, didn’t do a good job. How come I didn’t do a good job? I do what others do. I think they are targeting me.”

If she said she hadn’t targeted him before, Su’s mother might believe it, but now that he came to her door with something in his hand, it still wouldn’t work…

“Don’t worry about this. Maybe you don’t have enough. Let your father go back and we can get more things. Maybe we don’t have enough and our sincerity is not enough.”

After she said that, she went to discuss it with her husband.

Su Dazhuang also couldn’t understand it. They were replacing Su Wensong’s job, and Su Wensong was an educated youth who went to the countryside, so this job was a guaranteed job.

But he didn’t believe that his son didn’t get a permanent job because he didn’t have the ability. There were so many people who were just idling around in every factory, and his son wouldn’t make a difference.

He crushed the cigarette butt and frowned, “Buy two more bottles of wine tomorrow and I’ll go ask.”

When Su Wenmao heard that his father was going to take action, he immediately became excited.

“Dad, you must talk to them and ask them to transfer me to a first-class worker. Cuicui said that when I become a first-class worker, she will ask his parents to agree to the marriage. Cuicui is still waiting for my reply.”

Su Dazhuang’s brows furrowed even deeper, and he was extremely angry.

“Cui Cui, Cuicui, I know Cuicui, if you care so much, you should have done your job long ago. Now that you have the job, what else do you want me to do?”

He is no longer the Su Dazhuang of the past. As powerful as he was in the Revolutionary Committee, he is as miserable now.

Most of the people who had a good relationship with him were held accountable, and he fought hard to keep his current job.

He can’t say a word at work, and others don’t even look at him.

Now that he is almost fifty years old, he still has to save his face and beg others for help. Su Dazhuang really doesn’t want to see those people taking advantage of his misfortune.
