Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Chapter 218

Zhang Guoqing checked the stove, looked around, and seeing no issues, confidently walked out. As soon as he entered the living room, he noticed everyone was present tonight.

Mr. Zhang saw him come in and waved him over, asking, "Jiao Jiao knows, right? Tomorrow you’ll go over there, the kids can stay with your mom, there’s formula so they won’t go hungry."

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile and said, "I was planning to leave them with Mom. I’ve discussed everything with Jiao Jiao. There’s also a matter concerning my eldest brother. Second Brother should’ve mentioned it, right?"

Mr. Zhang said with a hint of frustration: "Your eldest brother said it would be difficult and feared you might owe someone a favor."

Zhang Guoqing laughed: "If it’s a favor, it’s a favor. What can I do, you are my eldest brother, right? Joking aside, let’s talk seriously. Eldest Brother, there are no favors to owe, I wouldn’t bring it up if I wasn’t confident. I wasn’t in a rush to help with your job originally because I wanted to find something ideal slowly.

But just now, I talked to Jiao Jiao, and she analyzed that in the next two years, it’ll become harder to find jobs in the city. With so many people, everyone wants to crowd into the city; there will definitely be new policies coming out. Even she said it’s better to start early rather than later, as most likely the policies will tighten.

While sister-in-law is here, think about which unit you’d like to join? Besides these two, anywhere else you have in mind? Tomorrow, coincidentally, my father-in-law’s good friend is coming from the provincial city, if he can’t handle it, I’ll talk to him. Second Brother knows my situation well, he treats me like a son-in-law, he’s directly said to come to him if anything comes up."

After Zhang Guoqing finished speaking, Mr. Zhang asked: "Won’t this impact you negatively?"

"No impact, I’m at home right now anyway. No one said I arranged it, but once it’s done, I’ll casually attribute it to the eldest sister or Huang Yaoguo, claiming they sorted it out. Hehe, Dad, don’t worry."

Mr. Zhang fretfully said, "Even if you don’t say anything outsiders will know. I bet once you start working, our family will not have peace."

Zhang Guoqing quickly came up with an idea, "Dad and Mom, this is a good chance for you to live in the county for a while. If you get used to it, you can stay there and come back when you want to visit. Think about it, when Eldest Brother and Second Brother settle down in the county in the future, all five of your kids will be there. Wandering from one house to another will take a day. You can also help us five siblings shop. Think about it, there’s a lot to handle, wouldn’t you have peace of mind?"

Mr. Zhang laughed heartily towards his old partner and said, "Didn’t I guess it? I told you Xiao Wu would trick us into staying with him. Do you believe you wouldn’t be able to return once you go there?"

Over there, after discussing, Zhang Guofu said, "Xiao Wu, Eldest Brother doesn’t know which would suit. You go ahead, and if it’s too much trouble, let it go."

Zhang Guoqing replied seriously, "Let me first explain the differences between the units. After you hear, go back and discuss it with Sister-in-law, or Sister-in-law can ask her relatives where there are suitable vacancies, and I can find someone. This job is like finding a husband for a daughter, it’s a lifetime matter, can’t be sloppy.

Units can be divided into administrative and enterprise units. Administrative means going up the ranks as an official. Enterprise means engaging in industry, managing factories, with administrative staff like party secretaries, while others are mostly worker ranks; the biggest factory director is still considered a worker.

Second Brother is considered administrative. Their salary is based on rank; in the future, they can be promoted to officials. Currently, you see, salaries may be less than Brother-in-law’s, but if Second Brother does well, promotions are fast, and once he becomes section chief, regardless of salary increase, he would be considered a national cadre, able to wear four pockets on his uniform.
