Chapter 1817

He was an honest man and couldn't do things like using his power to seek benefits for his family. However, he bought rice, oil, vegetables, and other things to send over every few days, and he brought over more than half of the New Year goods he received. He could only use this way to fulfill his filial piety.

The old man said, "Old woman, stop talking about the child. Is it easy for the child? Didn't our in-laws also not receive retirement pension for several years? Now they all live in Tiezi's house. Tiezi is also having a hard time!"

The old woman's eyes turned red. How could she not know Zhu Tie's difficulty? But their whole family now had no jobs and lived in this low shed. She had looked for county leaders many times but had no results. She also felt aggrieved in her heart!

An Dachang said, "How about this, Grandpa, Grandma, the county is preparing to recruit a batch of sanitation workers. If anyone in your family doesn't mind and is willing to do it, you can go to the sanitation station to register, or go directly to the county government to find me, County Magistrate Zhu, or County Magistrate Su. If you don't want to be a sanitation worker, we'll think of other ways."

The old woman said, "We'll do it. Who wouldn't be willing? I, the old woman, will be the first to sign up. How much money can I get a month?"

An Dachang said, "There's two or three hundred a month, but you are so old, I think you shouldn't go. This work is very hard."

The old man said, "It's okay, our bodies are still strong. Being a sanitation worker is no problem."

Su Xinghui said, "Grandpa, Grandma, you two don't have to be sanitation workers. Our county will study your problems recently and strive to solve your retirement pension problem, so you can receive retirement pension monthly in the future."

The old man said happily, "County Magistrate Su, is what you said true?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Of course it's true!"

Zhu Tie said, "County Magistrate Su has never told a lie. Since he came to Changshan County, which of his words hasn't been fulfilled? He said he would build the Changyu Highway, and the Changyu Highway is open to traffic. Now the Changwu Highway is open to traffic, and the Changda Highway, Changmu Highway, and Changshi Highway are all under construction, and the county is becoming more and more beautiful. You should be able to see these changes, right?"

The old woman nodded, "The changes in the county are indeed quite big now. Fine, then we'll believe you once. We won't be sanitation workers; let my eldest daughter go."

An Dachang said, "You can also go to the factory and tell everyone about this sanitation worker job, and let those who are willing sign up. However, the quota for sanitation workers is limited, and we also have to take care of others, so for the time being, each family can only sign up for one. Please understand."

The old man and old woman could still understand this point. They weren't unreasonable people. The old woman nodded, "Fine, I'll do this work. I was the vice chair of the labor union for more than ten years, and I'm best at such work."

An Dachang said, "In addition, the county has recently invested in several new factories and also needs to recruit workers. Workers with skills in your factory can also go to the county to register. If there are suitable positions, we can also arrange for them."

The old man slapped his thigh, "This is a good thing. My eldest son is an electrician, and my eldest son-in-law is a lathe operator at the hardware factory next door. These are all technical jobs."

An Dachang said, "That's fine, then you let them go register. If there are suitable positions, they will be arranged first."

The old man and old woman were very happy now. They nodded together, "That's great!"

An Dachang said, "There's more. In the future, the county will also support laid-off workers in entrepreneurship, and there will be preferential treatment in tax and other aspects. If you have skills, you can go to the county to rent a storefront and open a small restaurant, breakfast shop, or other shops. This can also earn money!"

The old woman said, "Some of us have had this idea, but opening a shop also requires money. Where can we get the money? Rent, capital, it's quite a lot when calculated. We are all poor people in the factory, and we have nowhere to borrow."

An Dachang said, "This problem can be solved in the future. We are preparing to introduce preferential policies after holding a meeting to study it. In the future, laid-off workers can use their layoff certificates to handle small entrepreneurship loans. This is specifically to support laid-off workers in entrepreneurship."

The old man and old woman looked at each other. They had heard too much good news today and didn't know what to say.

Unexpectedly, An Dachang had more good news. He said, "In the future, we may also set up a vocational skills training school specifically to provide vocational skills training for laid-off workers who don't have any skills, so they can learn skills and find jobs."

The old man said, "That's great. My youngest son just entered the factory not long ago and hasn't learned anything before being laid off. Now he's hanging out outside every day and can't find a job. It's just right for him to go and learn."

Su Xinghui looked at the low shed again and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, don't worry about your house. Our county government will also solve it gradually. We will build a batch of public rental housing in the new district, and laid-off workers can apply first. You can live in a new house with a relatively low rent every month."

Su Xinghui had also thought about demolition, but the southwest suburbs of the county hadn't been included in the county's planning for the time being. This area was all old enterprises, and the vast majority had already gone bankrupt. There were at least several thousand households living here, which was too concentrated. The cost of demolition here was not a small amount, and developers basically had no profit to make from demolition here now.

Because the county government was currently focusing on developing the north, most resources were invested there. The infrastructure and living facilities there were becoming increasingly perfect, and the land price there was getting higher and higher. But the land price in the southwest suburbs was far worse. What were real estate development companies planning to do by demolishing here?

Although Su Xinghui also had real estate development companies with good relationships, he couldn't ask them to do unprofitable or even loss-making business just because of good relationships. That didn't conform to commercial laws and couldn't last long.

However, this public rental housing was a way. Su Xinghui wanted to increase land prices, but he couldn't let ordinary people not afford housing. Therefore, building public rental housing was a very good measure. Letting ordinary people live in public rental housing with relatively low rent and live there for a long time could greatly improve their housing conditions, couldn't it?
