Check In System In The 70s
84
It took 1 hour for these two brothers to arrive at the county town where the aura of Chinese New Year still felt so strong. There are some factories that are still active, maybe some workers should be overtime.
Honestly, Xu Jie still doubted whether she would actually get a job here.
So he said, "Kiki, if Big Brother really gets a job, it doesn't matter where right?"
"I think so too, Brother," said Kiki.
Five days from now, Kiki has to leave, but before Kiki wants her brother to get a job.
"Sister, I don't know when I can come here, let's go around first with me, okay?" kiki. On the streets, there are not so many people because people are interested in celebrating the New Year.
However, in Kiki's eyes, there were so many "check-in" symbols that he was so interested in.
("Detecting the accumulated map at the cost of 20 points, Does the host want it?")
Kiki did not answer, but she was thinking. There were only six opportunities for Kiki to open the map. So far, he has opened four, and only two more. However, Kiki would only come here once a year. Loss if he opens the accumulation map. Kiki refused it.
"Sister, you've never been here either. Where are you going?"
"Turn around first, sister," said Kiki, reasoning that to check in, he did not need to go inside the place, but he only needed to stop by for a moment past the check-in symbol earlier.
"Hahaha, alright, my Queen, now that Big brother is going to take you for a walk," they laughed like two little kids who just went to town.
Kiki was still happy by spending a certain amount of her points on shopping in this Qingchen county. Since it was still the new year, he still got the red envelopes and other items.
The income and procurement cooperatives were not open, but Kiki was still able to pick up a gift when passing through there.
There is also High School, where there is a High School book this year aside from the red envelopes and school supplies of course.
While shopping for points, Kiki also asked for a system to activate the worker card, and it was still on behalf of her brother, Xu Jie.
Immediately after, the bike seemed to creak violently, so Xu Jie went down to take a look. This is a borrowed bike, if anything happens, he will not be able to pay it back.
But when these two brothers came down to see the condition of the bike, the bike was still fine.
"Is the tire leaking?"said Xu jie who was a little scared.Kiki was not so heard but she was focused with the sound of her system
("Detected the workplace on behalf of Xu Jie, the iron and steel factory, the price is twenty points, Is the host willing?")
Kiki did not rush to answer, but she asked her brother first.
"Sister, it looks like this is an iron and steel factory, I've heard the connection is here. Does your sister want to work there?"
Xu Jie did not reply, but she turned her head to stare at the factory gate. If the director's connection is here, then he's more than happy to work.
The salary is decent, not to mention common foods such as grains and some regular-worker-only tickets.
He said, permanent or temporary workers will still get a place to live. If it is a temporary worker, one room there are 6 people, but if the worker remains, one room there are only 3 people.
Yeah, it's good, right? Electricity and water are still free, although there are certain times that are charged.
"Are you sure you can work here?" xu Jie asked in disbelief.
Kiki smiled, because her brother asked so, meaning that she had already agreed to work here.
Inwardly, Kiki said to her system, "I will sign a contract of employment in an iron and steel factory."
("Points minus 20 points, work cards on behalf of Xu Jie will be activated.")
When the system says it is already active, then Kiki does not hesitate anymore. He immediately walked towards the gatekeeper and asked, "Master, my brother wants to find the department that takes care of the new workers, where is that?"
Kiki did not ask empty-handed. He sent a pack of cigarettes to the gatekeeper. Looking at the cigarette given in his hand, this guard smiled amiably and was willing to take the two away to the workers department.
"Sister, rest assured," whispered Kiki to Xu Jie who was still pale and stubborn.
It's a miracle of the system. When Kiki walked in, an unknown person immediately greeted the two and asked their purpose of entering this department.
Xu Jie was really like a frog inside a shell; she did not know what to talk about. But Kiki is the one who is advancing.
"This is the Family Card on behalf of Xu Jie, we were asked here to report the work," Kiki said.
The man scratched his forehead for a while, although somewhat astonished, he still opened some files. Usually, to apply for a job, one must bring some complete documents, but the person in front of him only carries his identity card.
Somehow, he was sure that there was definitely no Xu Jie there, but this belief of his was completely inversely proportional to reality. There is indeed that name and this matches the Family Card brought by the applicant.
"Oh, this is there. How come I never saw him?" he said with doubt.
It is difficult to find a job here, and temporary work may be obtained in several ways, but the man in front of him is instead getting a permanent job. Does he have a good background?
However, he handed over some files that Xu Jie needed to sign. Xu Jie who was asked to sign the file was amazed and looked at this little sister proudly.
"Kiki, there really is work" she whispered slowly.
"Sister, come on, sign it first" said Kiki who was relieved that the system really did not disappoint him.
By signing the dossier, Xu Jie had some worker rights in this factory. The man earlier also said some things that Xu Jie would have to obey in the future.
"Master, we have some free time today, can you show us the place first?" said Xu Jie who was so excited.
"Okay, come along" said the man. Indeed, the habit of working here will check the location of residence first. There are a few things to add there. It could be added now, so when the day he worked, he would not be bothered anymore with the items that needed to be purchased.
This guesthouse for workers is a residential with a level 4. Electricity will only be turned on at 06.00 to 08.00. While the water will flow at 06.00 to 07.00 am, then it will light up again around 05.00 to 06.00 pm.
"There is a cafeteria for workers, it is cheap and affordable, so buy a lunch box huh," the person said kindly.
Xu Jie was overjoyed until her eyes twinkled so.With the cafeteria, she did not need to think much about food. He can focus on his work.
The room for Xu Jie was on the second floor, there were three beds. One of them is still empty without a mattress and blanket. Although small, but Xu Jie liked it very much.
It must be more comfortable than the nagging every day by a stepmother.
"Your roommate, on a new year's holiday. Okay, then, please take a look. I'm going back to my place of work again" said the man.
"Thank you, please take care of my sister in the future, sir" said Kiki who again sent the man a box of cigarettes.
Kiki did not know if this box of cigarettes had already bought her heart to look after Xu Jie in the future. When they were left together, Kiki took a look at the condition of the room. Aside from the empty bed, there was also a wardrobe with keys and a small table.
Of course, here is the revised draft:
After being satisfied to look around, in the end the day was already so late in the afternoon. If they did not depart now, they would most likely arrive at uncle's house when it was already dark.
In fact, Kiki still had a few more places she wanted to go to for shopping points. But she still had to settle for the items she got today, especially with her brother's job.
While pedaling her bike, her brother talked about things that needed to be bought later, such as blankets and mattresses.
Kiki was infected with her brother's excitement, along the way she also laughed and shouted in the streets they went through.
Her sister had just graduated High School, she was 18 years old, there was still time for her to go to university later. Therefore, Kiki said so that Xu Jie would not forget her lesson if there was time, then she would have to repeat.
Xu Jie did not enter into the heart of what Kiki had caused. Just like everyone else, Xu Jie also thought that learning was useless. High School is the highest level of education today. Can't get into university either, so why study?
"Sister, I want you to always learn if you love me" Kiki said.
Kiki, your brother will always love you. Now, Big Brother already has a job and the money will go into his own pocket. Later, if it's payday, Big Brother will send you money, so don't worry," Xu Jie said.
Kiki, who was sitting in the back seat, pinched her brother's waist while saying, "I have money, I don't need money from big brother, but I need you to learn. If I go home next year, I want to see you don't forget the High School lesson. Can you do that for me?" kiki said seriously.
Xu Jie didn't know why Kiki said so, while paddling her bicycle she took a breath and forcedly replied, "OK, Big Brother will do that for you."
"Thank you, Brother, I know Brother loves me," Kiki said again.
In the end, there was only a smile on the faces of the two of them, and that picture was what Uncle and Aunt saw when they arrived at the uncle's house again.
"Xu Jie, is there any good news, son?" asked the aunt who saw the two nieces enter the house with a smiling face.
"Auntie, where's Uncle?"
"Your uncle came out earlier, what's the matter, just ask auntie," said Aunt anxiously.
Soon the first cousin came out the door, as did the sister-in-law. Xu Jie's fate had indeed always worried the family. So when Aunt Xu asked, they heard it from the room and were also worried, therefore they both came out.
"Auntie, this is actually good news. I just went to the county town, and the job is really there," Xu Jie said as she showed off the identity cards of the iron and steel factory workers.
If he wasn't so old, maybe he would scream and dance around to reflect on his excitement.
Immediately the first cousin's brother was shocked and took the identity card. He read it several times before believing that the identity card was genuine.
"Yes, this is double happiness in the new year, my cousin. Now you are an official worker, and congratulations to you," said the first cousin who patted Xu Jie to give her some encouragement.
"It's also thanks to Kiki. Though she herself could use it to return to the city," said Xu Jie who still felt uneasy as she thought that way.
Kiki laughed amusedly, but then she said, "Sister, I am happy in the village and also have money and eat with fullness. It makes no difference to live in the village and in the city, everything is the same."
"Yes, right, Kiki also got a lot of money, so the result is still the same as the factory workers, hahaha."
The atmosphere of excitement was not too until Uncle returned. Uncle confessed that he had spoken to Kiki's father again.
"Your father agrees, I don't know what's on his mind, but one day he'll regret it" said the uncle complaining.
Uncle Xu had two sons, whereas Xu Xin only had Xu Jie a. It was true that coming out of the older brother was the idea of the boy, but wasn't this caused by his father as well. If only Xu Xin had tried to keep him, perhaps the story would have been different. But no, he just didn't want to fight with his wife at home because of work.
"Your father said, despite leaving KK, Xu Jie still had to be devoted to him, and that was Rp100 per month."
"A stupid reason," said Uncle Xu who was displeased. Soon, Aunt Xu reported that Xu Jie had actually gotten a job, and that KK's disconnection had to be accelerated as well.
The originally pouting uncle became cheerful again. If a better job is obtained, the old job can be given in exchange for family termination. This is karma for his stupid sister.
Since Xu Jie said she could work on new year's day, Uncle had to quickly give a new KK to Xu Jie. Inevitably, uncle immediately took Kiki and Xu Jie home after the two had dinner. Business must be accelerated, the faster, the better.
