Chapter 128 I don't want to go to work

At 6:45 in the morning, Jiang Hao looked at his wife who was still sleeping soundly and shook his head helplessly, "Baby, it's time to get up. You can't be late for work today."

When Shi Luo heard Jiang Hao calling him to get up, he covered his ears and shouted with despair, "Ah, why do I have to go to work, Brother Hao, I regret it. If I hadn't bought a job and chose to go back to my hometown, I would have been happily preparing for the winter. My great Northeast, I miss you."

Jiang Hao suppressed his laughter and coaxed softly, "You, if you don't buy a job, you will still have to go to the fields to work after the winter. Think about the land and the farm manure in the spring."

Shi Luo raised his head and glared at Jiang Hao. "Don't say those disgusting things so early in the morning. We still have to eat breakfast soon. I need to wash up. Go buy breakfast quickly. I want to eat tofu pudding and fried cakes."

"Okay, wash up quickly."

After saying that, he ran out with a basin. The nearest state-owned restaurant was only six or seven minutes away from Shi Luo's house. When Jiang Hao arrived with the basin, there were not many customers. After waiting for two minutes, it was his turn.

Jiang Hao bought four fried dough cakes and two servings of tofu pudding and hurried home.

After arriving home, Shi Luo had washed up and the table was set with dishes and chopsticks. Jiang Hao divided the tofu pudding into portions and the two of them started eating.

After dinner, Jiang Hao washed the dishes very consciously. There were not many dishes, so it only took him two minutes to finish.

Shi Luo stood at the door and looked at the two bicycles in the yard. "Brother Hao, let's ride one and you take me with you. It would be too conspicuous if we rode two."

Jiang Hao wiped his hands dry and pushed the bicycle out of the yard. "Alright, hurry up and get on. You're just too lazy to ride a bike. No need to make excuses."

Shi Luo wrinkled his nose and said unconvincedly, "No, we just spent so much money to buy jobs, riding two bikes is very ostentatious."

Speaking of money, Shi Luo sat on the back of the bicycle and looked around to see if there was anyone else around. He whispered, "Brother Hao, when we were having dinner with grandma and the others yesterday, do you need to tell your godfather and godmother about the money that grandma gave us?"

Jiang Hao thought of the 1,400 yuan and some miscellaneous bills his grandmother had stuffed into his and Shi Luo's pockets last night and shook his head. "No need. I told you it was a private subsidy for us. There's no need to mention it to Mom and Dad. If my sisters-in-law find out, there'll definitely be a bloody storm at home."

Shi Luo was also helpless. He clearly had plenty of money, but for some reason, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang didn't believe him. "I told her I didn't want it, but Grandma insisted on giving it to me. I couldn't refuse. If we were given such a large sum of money, would Grandpa and Grandma still have enough to spend?"

Jiang Hao's mouth twitched when he heard this. "Baby, you really underestimate your grandparents' wealth. When I was in my hometown, my grandfather was already an eighth-level technician when he first joined the factory. At that time, it seemed to be 115 yuan.

Later, it seemed that their salary and benefits increased significantly. After retirement, they also received a pension. When they were re-employed as a master in Beijing, their salary was not low and their benefits were better. Add to that their previous family assets, and you really don’t have to worry about them being short of money, tickets, or things.”

As they were talking, the two arrived at the machinery factory. The accounting department office and the factory committee office were in the same administrative building.

When Shi Luo arrived at the factory committee, he first reported to the director's office. The director's surname was Jin, and he had visited Shi Luo's home when Shi Luo's grandfather passed away.

Director Jin looked at Shi Luo who came in and felt that he looked familiar. "Have we met before?"

Shi Luo: "Yes, my name is Shi Luo. When my grandfather was alive, he was the gate guard of our factory."

Director Jin nodded. "Oh, I was sure we'd met before. You look familiar. So you're Lao Shi's grandson. Okay, we're all acquaintances. I'll take you to my office and arrange a seat for you."

After saying that, he took Shi Luo to a larger office next door.

As soon as Shi Luo entered the office, he saw the three people inside turned their heads and looked at him. Facing the burning gazes of the three people, Shi Luo pursed his lips and looked at Director Jin.

Director Jin lived up to Shi Luo's expectations and introduced the people in the office.

"This is a new member of our factory committee. You may not be familiar with him, but you should all know his grandfather. His maternal grandfather is the old man Zhong Shi who sacrificed his life to protect the factory's property."

After that, he pointed to the only empty seat inside and said to Shi Luo, "Just sit here. This will be your workstation from now on. You can go to the logistics department to pick up your work clothes, water cup, lunch box, etc. Your household registration has been transferred here. It's the beginning of October now, so go to the accounting department to pick up your food and non-staple food receipts. You've been to our factory before, so you should know us all. I won't ask anyone to show you the way."

After Shi Luo agreed and sat down in his seat, Director Jin returned to his office.

There are four people in the office where Shi Luo works, including Shi Luo. The layout inside is four large desks put together, with two people sitting face to face.

After the enthusiastic introduction by the older sister next to him, Shi Luo learned that the older sister was in her forties and her surname was Zhou. Opposite to her was a fifty-year-old Uncle Chu. Next to Uncle Chu, that is, opposite to himself, was Xiao Feng, an unmarried young man who was twenty years old.

After a few people chatted for a while, Shi Luo went to the logistics department to collect supplies, including notebooks, pens, pencils, water cups, lunch boxes, chopsticks, work clothes and other things.

When he came back to the logistics department to get his things, he didn't see Jiang Hao. Shi Luo walked back to the office with his things in his arms, sighing, "It's said that workers are very popular nowadays. Not only do they have a fixed salary every month, but they also get one or two sets of clothes and supplies."

Moreover, formal employment can be passed down from generation to generation. If you don’t know about future development, this is truly a job worth making.

When I was carrying my things to the office, I happened to meet a group of people moving things into the room.

When Shi Luo followed a young man who was moving things in, he saw the three people who were sitting on chairs drinking tea, reading newspapers and fiddling with yarn when he left just now. Now, each of them was holding a pen and a notebook, counting and taking notes on the boxes, and occasionally opening the boxes to take a look.

Uncle Chu saw Shi Luo coming in and quickly said, "Shi Luo, put your things down quickly and take inventory of the boxes over at your desk. Make sure you remember the quantities and other things. You'll need to get the person in charge of moving the goods to sign and confirm it later."
