This year's winter in Chisinau has been unusually cold, and the bitter wind blows like a knife. Such bad weather made the people on the road much scarcer, and Rodesk tightened his thick winter clothes and still walked forward against the cold wind.

Today he is going to the employment agency on Dorke Street, because there is news that there are many new jobs there. As a father of two, Rodesk needed a stable income to support his family.

So in the face of unusually bad weather, he is fearless, and even hopes that the weather will be worse, which can reduce the number of his competitors.

When he walked to the door of the employment agency, the results were not pleasant. The long queue was a bit of a disappointment for Rodeske, but it was much shorter than it looked the other day.

The cold weather made the queue as few people as possible to talk. Still, they need to talk to each other from time to time. And Rodesk knew a good thing about what they were talking about, and could only hear a few words from it.

True, Rodesk is not a native or even an ethnic Romanian, he is an ethnic Ukrainian. In the morning, he was a farmer on a rural farm in Uman, western Ukraine, but due to the Romanian land reform, the landlord purchased a large amount of agricultural machinery, and he was kicked out by the landlord because he did not know how to use these machinery.

He knows nothing but farming, and he can only go to the city praised by everyone to make a living. However, perhaps those people have only come to the city to see the world and do not know much about the specific situation in the city, so in Rodsk's opinion, life in the city is more difficult. He also went all the way from Uman to Odessa and then to Chisinau.

It's been almost three months since he arrived in Chisinau, and he had two jobs before, but he was fired because he was stupid. This made Rodsk feel very stressed, and the wages he had previously settled were almost spent. If you can't find a job again, how will the family live in this cold weather?

With a heavy heart, he can only continue to come to the employment agency to find a job. You ask why you don't go to the skills training center to study first, just kidding, the private skills training center costs at least 50 lei to start, which is completely impossible for the financially stressed Rodesko, unless he makes the family go without food for half a month, and the money he earned before is only enough for the family's expenses.

Of course, there are also government-run skills training centers, but Rodesk has been to it several times in a row, and found that it is already full, which makes him reluctant to leave. And he didn't work long in each place, basically only able to pay for his family's expenses, where did he get his savings to ensure his tuition and time to study.

So he can only come to the employment agency again to see if there is a job to do, no matter what he does, as long as he can earn money, he is willing to do it.

The long queue also diminished over time, and soon it was the turn of Rodeske.

"What's your name?"

Rodesk replied in his not-so-standard Romanian. "Rodeske."

"What will be?"

"Farming."

Rodeske's words made the registrar couldn't help but look up at him, such a strange answer was very rare. Rodeske smiled innocently at the registrar looking up, making the registrar feel as if he had seen him before.

"Let's go in with the watch."

The registrar who wrote the form handed him the form and put him inside.

After entering the employment agency, Rodesk looked at the job posting in the hall and became melancholy, he couldn't read. But this didn't bother him, I saw him walk up to a staff member and ask with a smile. "Look at what my form is suitable for."

This is the experience of Rodeske, because the staff here will definitely point out the job for which they are suited.

The strange registration information made the staff look at him more. I saw him point to a job posting on the left and said. "There's a brick factory job there that suits you, but it's a bit hard, and the salary is acceptable."

Then he pointed to a job posting on the right. "There's also a road construction job over there, and the pay is good. However, you need to follow the progress of the project, and it is likely that it will be difficult to go home. ”

After pointing out two jobs that suited him in a row, Rodsk gave preference to the brick factory after thanking the staff member.

There is a strong man sitting here, who looks like he is in charge of recruitment.

After Rodeske handed his form to him, the strong man picked it up and looked at it and put it down. "Do you know how to work?"

Knowing the meaning of his inquiry, Rodesk hurriedly said. "I've never worked in a brick factory before."

"For the first time?"

"For the first time."

"Well, let me talk about the situation of the brick factory first, our brick factory is on the outskirts of the city, and we need to work nine hours a day, because you don't know anything but work as a stevedore. There are one hundred and fifteen lei a month, and if you need to take time off for something, you can take two days off per month after deducting the day's salary. ”

Rodsk listened to the conditions of the strong man in charge of recruitment, and then thought about the monthly expenses of the family, and he was a little moved. However, he may not have heard of this sentence of shopping around, but he also understands the meaning. So after the strong man finished speaking, Rodesk replied. "Let me think about it."

"No problem."

After Rodesk put away the form and reintegrated into the team, he went to the recruitment position on the right.

After queuing, it was finally Rodeske's turn, and he hurriedly handed over the form. This time, it was a middle-aged man who was in charge of recruitment, and he asked after reading the Rodsk form. "Where we work, we need to follow the road construction team. It's possible that you won't be able to go home for months, are you willing? ”

Faced with the inquiry, Rodesk nodded hurriedly. "I can accept that."

"Well, I looked at your form, and I can only be an ordinary construction worker. However, you need to train for a few days first, do you have any problems. ”

"Nope."

"That's good. In terms of work and salary, I work for 10 hours a day, follow the road construction team, and the work place is basically in the field. The monthly salary is one hundred and forty lei, and of course there are rewards for doing well. ”

Rodesk quickly calculated in his mind, it was obvious that this job was tiring and the salary was much higher than that of a brick factory, which was a good treatment for him. He basically made a decision in his heart, and hurriedly asked. "Where shall I come to you if I wish?"

"You know Koster Street, if you decide to work, you can come to Dock Construction there."

Rodeske, who took the recruiter's words to heart, immediately replied. "No problem, I'll be here tomorrow."

Rodeske, who had exited the employment agency, waved his arm vigorously. He's not going to mess up his job again this time. Definitely not.

The next step is to tell your wife the good news so that she can do less laundry. At the thought of his wife's frostbite and still having to work, Rodesk felt that he was too incapable as a husband.

The infrastructure promoted by the Romanian government has saved many people like Rodesk who have only one handful of strength, at least so that they can get through the transition from farmers to workers.
