Chapter 21: 21
Wen Jia has been working at a steel mill for more than two months. He became accustomed to working with large machines and the many rules of the factory. Eating to the toilet, never spitting. Litter as a place
With a salary of three coins a month, it is enough to live and have some left. Not only that, his wife, who runs a textile mill Causing Wen Jia's family to have more money to save up
Not only that, but the factory gave them something at the end of every month, including soaps, tissues, and more. These items are inexpensive and popular with people. But workers like Wen Jia still do not dare to spend a lot.
Unexpectedly, the factory gave it to them for free, with officials explaining that these were the welfare of state enterprise employees. The Ministry of Industry has designated industrial products to be given to employees as morale and encouragement.
These policies work. More workers are devoted to their work than ever before. At the end of the month, the report of industrial production was up 3 percent.
His wife, who runs a textile mill, also received two ready-made garments as a reward. Another important thing is that factories are paid for their overtime work. It made Wen Jia keep working in the factory from morning until night to make more money.
With considerable savings, his family did not starve. The factory provided them with three meals. This allows Wen Jia to buy meat for his children every week. The figure for the two children became more perfect and no longer looked thin.
Pretty good compensation Full welfare These conditions attract many people to the factory for work. Some refugees who have arrived in the capital are quick to find job. Whether in a factory or a construction unit, compensation is so fair that it cannot be denied. When looking down the street, the refugees are no longer begging to sit. Instead, many people would rush to work.
Wen Jia bought food for his children at home. For several months, he hardly lived with them, and even his wife went to work at the factory. There are many people like them. The neighbor next door is about to transform into a full-fledged nursery. Wen Jia gives a neighbor a sum of money in return for taking care of his children.
These days, Lao Da and Lao'Er have complained about their parents, who rarely return home, leaving them with the people next door. Wen Jia was truly sad about this, So began to discuss with his wife whether she would try to let her wife leave the factory or not.
Wen Jia's wife was somewhat hesitant. Because both of them left to work, their family income could not be significantly denied.
The next day, Wen Jia went to work in distress. And at that moment, there was a radio announcement Wen Jia was already familiar with this line sound. At one time, there would always be news of the country to be announced for the people to know. But today's announcement made Wen Jia tremble.
"The announcement of the Cabinet issued an order issuing the Basic Education Act. Youth 3-12 years Able to register in politics to send children to study. "contemporary romance
Wen Jia could hardly wait any longer. If he can send his child to school, No matter what, he will.
Education is the privilege of the elite. The nobles, the intellectuals, and only some of the merchants went to school. Children of ordinary citizens are not eligible. When this education policy was announced, the city residents were all excited, similar to Wen Jia. They have to send their children to school.
Early in the morning, Wen Jia took a job to take his two children to the political office. Today, Shenzhou's entire city is overwhelmed by the number of workers seeking time off work like never before.
Wen Jia took Lao Ta and Lao Er to the city hall. Which was full of tens of thousands of people standing neatly inline
Many people work in factories full of strict rules and discipline, Making many people familiar with the awesome line up. Otherwise, the registration this time would be very chaotic.
About an hour, Wenjia's turn was finally, and he brought Lao Da and Lao Er to the registration desk.
The registration desk has a staff holding a large book to record information. This is the policy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to have a population survey. And prepare a civil registration.
Zhao Lingxin was unable to trade out computers, and one 1980s computer cost 10,000 energy points. Which was a price he could not afford. Zhao Lingxin then used a note on paper first.
Civil registration is a project that the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives priority to. Population data will be systematically recorded, and identification will soon begin to be issued. Certified citizenship of Da zhou The identity certificate becomes an essential document for each individual and can be used for government services and business inquiries.
"What's your name?" The officer asked.
"This person's name is Lao ta. The other one is Lao'er." Wen Jia introduced his two sons. Both children will be temporarily delivered to the nearest educational facility, effective from tomorrow.
School construction takes at least one month. It relies on a large number of workers and skilled military engineers.
But education policy cannot be delayed. The sooner it starts, the better. The Ministry of Education, therefore, cooperates with the Ministry of Industry to create temporary educational institutions in the city. To accommodate many youths, It took only one day to establish a temporary school.
After the registration is complete, the officer In charge of giving a simple cloth bag And two sets of each uniform for Wen Jia.
"This is the student uniform; make sure they wear it to school," the officer explained.
Wen Jia promised that he would definitely not forget. Looking at the white uniforms he had received, he felt that the government would give them many things without doing anything yet.
Wen Jia brought the children home and the next morning. He looked at the two little ones who were wearing school uniforms behind them. Wen Jia and the wife who saw this view cried out with pride. In the end, their children had the opportunity to attend the school like noble. In the future, they will not be as tricky as they are anymore.
Wen Jia and his wife decided to travel together to deliver their two children. The two little boys bid farewell to their parents, and the staff then brought them away. So both went to work as before.
With the school being close to home In the evening, the children returned by themselves. That day, Wen Jia decided not to work overtime and hurried back to his house to inquire about the school's situation.
"Father, a school, is so fun; there are many friends," Wenta said happily.
"How is school today?�� Wen Jia asked the two children.
"Today, the teacher taught us the alphabet, and the afternoon told us an exciting story." They explained the story in the school with interest. They shared many exciting experiences within the school.
As inadequate staff and unable to clearly divide classes, the Ministry of Education had teachers to teach students to read and write first. The afternoon provides exciting storytelling. Famous literature in the last world, Including science experiments
These things quickly attract students' attention. An incredible story they had never heard before. Making students think about going to school the next day
"Hm, why is the bag puffing up?" Wen Jia looked towards the two of their bags and asked with suspicion. From his memories, that early morning, their bags were empty. Nothing was packed.
"This is a book that the teacher gave me," said Lao Da in a fresh tone. No matter how shocked his father's words were
"What, a book like that?" Wen Jia said in disbelief. As if hearing a mistake, hurriedly open the bag and look. Inside, it was filled with textbooks for various subjects which the school gave out.
The Ministry of Industry has improved paper production and printing technology. Reduce production time and budget The Ministry of Industry received a request for coordination from the Ministry of Education to establish a publishing house for printing textbooks for students.
The Ministry of Education published a textbook and gave it to everyone without a single coin, which shocked Wen Jia.
"Is this really a book?" Wen Jia carefully reached out to pick up the textbook. Then turn over and see the inside. Found that the paper texture is smooth, with the texts arranged neatly and beautifully as if printed. The smell of printing ink hit Wenjia's nose. It was the scent he had just encountered for the first time.
"Did the school really give these books?" Although holding the book in hand, he still couldn't accept it. This was shocking as the sky had collapsed.
Books, the rights of the elite, are costly. Wen Jia had never held a book before. But when a child, he had seen a book being sold for a high price that was hard to reach. But the books in his hand looked several times better than them, with the same size of paper and lettering. These letters were so small that the brush could not write out Wen Jia could not know making these books. But Wen Jia thought that these books would be costly.
Wen Jia quickly taught his two children to cherish the textbooks. Do not let it touch the water. Keep it as valuables.
Wen Jia went to his two children who had a bright future. The Great Da Zhou Empire is full of hope for life. Wen Jia secretly decided in his heart that he would be ready to do anything to save this peaceful life.
