Seeing Huang Qinqin's shocked expression, both the brigade secretary and the village chief lowered their heads in shame.
Yes! In such a large village, there isn't even a single person who can do basic math.
When Village Chief Huang said those words, he felt utterly humiliated!
Huang Qinqin had imagined countless difficulties, but she never expected that there would be no one available for the bookkeeping position.
Village Chief Huang tried to salvage the situation: "Actually, it's not surprising. It's just that when the department store was hiring, anyone with a bit of ability became a worker, hahaha..."
"Most of the people left in the village have only graduated from primary school, and we're a little worried about that. Actually, there are quite a few who can do math, but we just want to be more precise, haha..."
The reality is that Village Chief Huang organized an exam in the village, but the villagers were either illiterate or...
Either the calculations are riddled with errors, which concerns the income of the entire village! This level of expertise is simply unacceptable!
The only one who could do it was the village's scorekeeper, but there was only one scorekeeper.
Keeping work points was also very important. Helpless, they went out to look for Huang Qinqin, but there was nothing they could do.
Huang Qinqin was very accommodating and didn't delve into the matter further. Instead, she agreed, saying, "That's true. When choosing an accountant for a workshop, it's better to be more rigorous."
"Well, Secretary, Village Chief, let me take you inside to sit down and have a chat. It's too hot here."
The department store had a special reception room with a fan. After pouring water for the village chief and the brigade secretary, Huang Qinqin sat down.
"Village chief, may I ask how the educated youth who arrived a couple of days ago are behaving?"
Speaking of the educated youth, Village Chief Huang also had a headache: "Sigh, don't even mention it. The educated youth in our village are all quite law-abiding and obedient."
"But when it comes to actual work, they're worse than even children. And yet, they've already tried so hard to learn, so it's hard to criticize them."
The brigade secretary nodded in agreement, but he secretly remarked with delight, "However, the educated youth in our brigade are already considered quite good."
"At least the educated youth in our brigade don't cause trouble. Although they're not very good at work, they're still much better than those in the first brigade."
"I heard that their educated youth got into an argument with the brigade on their very first day!"
"That's actually pretty good."
Huang Qinqin looked at them and asked seriously, "Secretary, Village Chief, what do you think if I suggested that the educated youth work in the pickled vegetable workshop?"
The brigade secretary and Village Chief Huang both showed expressions of disapproval: "Sending educated youth there might not be convincing enough to the people."
"The workshop is just starting out, and there are only a few spots available. Even if we distribute them among the villagers, it's not enough."
“If we send educated youth there, I’m afraid the villagers will start a fight.”
Since Huang Qinqin made this suggestion, she must have considered these issues.
“Secretary, village chief, this is what I’m thinking. You can listen to my thoughts first.”
“I suggest you appoint Song Mincheng as the accountant. His grandfather lives in our village, and if we talk to him, he will definitely do his best without any complaints.”
"As for the other educated youth, I suggest that they help write the dates on the labels."
“I’ve looked into it. Printing factories can customize labels, but the labels don’t have dates on them.”
"If the pickled vegetables are to be sold in a department store, each bottle must be labeled with a date. I had been wondering how to do this job."
"Later, when I heard that some educated youth would be assigned to work, I had this idea. Since the educated youth were all quite obedient, but not very good at farm work."
"Assigning them to the workshops to be responsible for writing the dates on the labels is the most suitable approach."
After listening to her words, the brigade secretary and Village Chief Huang had to admit that Huang Qinqin made a lot of sense.
However, while there is some truth to this, it would be inappropriate to assign such an easy job to educated youth instead of local villagers.
"But this doesn't really convince the villagers. After all, it's just filling in the date, which even illiterate people can learn."
“It’s impossible for the educated youth to have such an easy time while the villagers have to work hard in the fields, even though they are receiving the same number of work points.”
Huang Qinqin said with a smile, "Who said we were going to give all the educated youth the same work points?"
"Hmm??? Tell me more?"
Huang Qinqin didn't keep them in suspense: "Here's what I'm thinking. You can go back first and observe how many work points the educated youth usually get these past few days."
"Then you write down these work points. When it's time to arrange for the educated youth to go into the workshop, just tell them that they can only get these work points when they go into the workshop, and ask them if they are willing."
"Anyway, even if the educated youth go to farm, they won't be of much help, so it's better to let them do something they're good at."
"Then it will be easier to deal with the villagers. Just tell them directly that the job of filling in the date only has so few work points. I estimate that not many people will be willing to do it."
"Then Song Mincheng's situation is also easy to resolve. We can just calculate his work points according to the standards of other educated youth. I believe he won't mind. As long as we don't target his grandfather, he will definitely work hard for us."
Brilliant!
The brigade secretary and Village Chief Huang both looked at Huang Qinqin with a hint of admiration. Indeed, the young people were quick-witted.
If they can't get full work points, even the easiest job won't be done by the villagers.
......
After witnessing Xu Jingui's arrest, Chen Ermei was still in disbelief; she even thought she was dreaming.
Xu Jingui has been arrested on suspicion of murder?!
How is this possible?!
Chen Ermei felt her mind was in a mess; it wasn't like this in her past life.
She remembered that in her previous life, Huang Qinqin and Xu Jingui would still go back to the family compound to visit relatives seven or eight years after they got married.
Moreover, Huang Qinqin was carrying many bags and packages when she returned home. So, normally, it's impossible for Xu Jingui to have gotten into trouble, right?
But seeing the worried faces of everyone in the Xu family, Chen Ermei had no choice but to believe that Xu Jingui was really in trouble.
Lin Chunyan's feelings were particularly complicated. She couldn't help but recall the time when Xu Jingui brought Wang Xiufen back.
When Xu Jingui, who was 15 years old at the time, brought Wang Xiufen back, Lin Chunyan didn't really feel anything.
Because people in the countryside get married young, many are 14 or 15 years old, so she didn't find it strange.
One night, when she got up to use the bathroom, she heard noises coming from Xu Jingui's room.
