Chapter 335

As for vacations, due to the abundance of manpower, Su Ji finally implemented a rotation system.

Normal time is one day off per week, and holidays are decided based on the specific situation at the time whether to take a break or close the store. If you are on duty on holidays, you can be paid double the salary or enjoy twice the length of compensatory leave.

In principle, employees in stores and workshops are provided with two meals, but because the working hours of the two sides are different, the meal opening time of the store shall prevail.

The employees of the workshop all have families and usually do not eat dinner in the store. However, occasionally, if their families do not cook, they can tell Su Hui and stay for dinner in the store.

Aunt Wu basically doesn't keep anyone. The two uncles' children are all married, and sometimes their wives will stay for dinner when they go back to their parents' home or have other arrangements. They don't just sit there and wait, but come to the store to help during the busiest meal times. Although they are not familiar with other things, they are very efficient in helping to serve dishes and collect bowls and plates.

The store employees had never heard of such a humane system developed by Su Miao, and they talked about it for a long time during the meal.

Newcomer Xiaofang said, "How can I get double the salary? The factory I used to work at was busiest during the holidays, but we didn't get a single cent increase in salary. At most, we were given a small bag of fruit, the cheapest kind you could find on the street."

Uncle Wang, who joined the workshop, said: "You guys gave me the fruit. My last job was as a helper in a noodle shop. During festivals, we had the most customers, so we were busy from morning till night.

When the stall closed, all the noodles were sold out and we didn’t even have a sip of water. Unlike here, the boss was generous and even let us stay for dinner.”

After saying that, he poked Uncle Meng next to him and said, "Old Meng, you used to work in the unit, so your treatment must be better than ours, right?"

Uncle Meng chewed his meat and said, "The benefits at the company are indeed quite good. They give us holidays and gifts during the New Year holidays, but it's still a little worse than what we have here. Who would want those gifts when they can get twice the salary?"

Xiaoling asked curiously: "Uncle Meng, you used to work in the same unit? Why are you here?"

Uncle Meng shook his head and sighed, saying, "Oh! I was laid off! I've already had twenty years of work experience, and I was a regular employee! I was laid off! Who would have thought in the past that our factory was going to be restructured, and they paid us a sum of money and then it closed down."

"Is the compensation large?"

"I can guarantee you won't starve to death in the next one or two years, but from now on you'll have to make a living on your own."

The personnel adjustments in the store have come to an end. After a few days of running-in, the collaboration between employees has gradually become smoother.

Su Miao had just put down his work in the store and was about to start focusing on school again. The traditional senior training camp for No. 1 High School was about to begin.

As a rule, there will be a one-month intensive training session in the middle of both the first and second semesters of senior year.

This intensive training session last semester will focus on teaching new courses to ensure that there is enough time for overall review in the next semester.

During the sprint stage, the class time for senior high school students was adjusted. Morning reading started at 7:10 every day, evening self-study ended at 9:30, and the lights were turned off and students went to bed on time at 10 o'clock.

During this period, in order to uniformly manage the students, they were required to live on campus, and even Su Miao, who lived only a few hundred meters away from home, was no exception.

Fortunately, the school cleared out all the vacant dormitories to provide them with better accommodation.

Compared with the 12-person dormitory for first- and second-year high school students, the number of dormitories for the third-year high school training camp has been reduced to 6 people, and they are on the lower floors where there are fewer stairs to climb.

This made the younger students living there extremely envious, but also made Su Miao extremely confused. She said to Hu Xiaodie, "Are there so many dormitories on campus? Why aren't they open to the first and second year students?"

Hu Xiaodie said, "There are actually quite a lot of dormitories. The two dormitory buildings were newly built a few years ago. They are both five stories high, with 10 rooms on each floor. There are only a few dozen students living in each grade. They do this in the name of easy management, so they cram 12 people into one room, leaving the rest empty."

However, our school is quite considerate of the seniors. After they enter the senior year, they can change from a 12-person dorm to a 6-person dorm. So those of us in our class who already live in the dormitory don’t have to move and can just stay in the original dormitory. It’s basically no problem.”

Lin Wang turned around and said, "I really don't understand the point of this mandatory boarding on campus. No other school has it. We usually live at home, so we're definitely not used to it. It will only delay our studies." My grandma scolded me for half an hour while she packed my things.

Hu Xiaodie asked, "Who are you scolding? The school?"

"That's right. They criticized the school leaders for being too idle and doing nothing, and for messing around. They also said that conditions are regressing right now, just as they were improving. If they were sent to the village to do farm work for a few days, they would behave themselves."

“Puff! Hahahaha!”

After hearing this, the people around couldn't help laughing.

Su Miao said with a smile: "Old man, you are brave enough to say it. You better keep your voice down. If you are heard, you will be arrested."

He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "What are you afraid of? I'll just talk to you. Guodong, have you packed your things? How about we choose a dormitory?"

Lin Guodong shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I've already made an appointment with my brother and his classmates to share a dormitory. There are also a few classmates from his class, so it's full."

"Oh! That's fine. I'll just go share a dormitory with the sports committee member. He'll be off work during the training camp anyway."

"Why?"

"Don't you know? During the training camp, all physical education classes are suspended and replaced with cultural classes. Apart from morning exercises, we basically have to say goodbye to the sun. It's like being locked up in a prison."

This is a bit cruel for boys who like outdoor sports, but it is good news for some girls who don’t like sports.

Hu Xiaodie thought it was great and said, "Hey! I don't have to run around the playground anymore. I can get a little whiter by not being in the sun. I get tanned too easily. It would be great if I could be as white as Su Miao."

Su Miao replied: "A healthy skin color is good, there's no need to go for a very white complexion. Your current skin color is good enough."

"Oh, my mom said that girls need to be fair to look good. Otherwise, why do those actors put on powder first when they put on makeup? It must be fair, as fair as you, so that we can save money on buying makeup in the future."

During this period, from Hu Xiaodie's narration, Su Miao analyzed that her mother should be a lady with high requirements for fashion and beauty, and should be very trendy.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

The bell for class interrupted their casual chat. This class was taught by the head teacher. After she came in, she spent 10 minutes talking about the requirements and regulations of the training camp before starting the new lesson.

Tomorrow the students will bring their luggage and the training life will officially begin.
