Lin Aiguo was also pleasantly surprised by Lin Yu today. He had always thought his niece was just a cute little girl, but he didn't expect her to be so organized when she worked.
To be worldly-wise without being cynical.
This is the most precious thing.
She understood the unspoken rules of the brigade, but she was able to stick to her principles, making sure that the brigade cadres could accept her actions while ensuring fairness for everyone else to the greatest extent possible.
Lin Aiguo waved happily with his hands behind his back: "She's just a child, so I'm very grateful that you're so understanding of her."
These cadres had always gotten along well with Captain Lin; none of them were bad people.
So while they weren't entirely happy with Lin Yu's arrangement, they could understand it.
The fact that everyone ultimately agreed to Lin Yu's suggestion shows that they also felt a sense of responsibility towards the rest of the team.
So, not long after the vermicelli workshop was built, the brigade began recruiting workshop workers.
This workshop was a commune-run enterprise, and Lin Aiguo applied to Qingshan Commune for a nominal registration.
After all, being nominally affiliated with a production brigade is too insignificant. If it were affiliated with the commune, although there was a possibility that the workshop would be taken advantage of, the name would be more prestigious and easier to develop.
As for the issue of the commune reaping the benefits once the workshops develop...
Lin Yu believed that as long as they made their team irreplaceable in the process, no one could take away the workshop.
After all, if the workshop was really well done, it would be a political achievement for the commune.
If Lianhua Brigade can prove that it is the most suitable place to run a commune and enterprises, the commune will not dare to take it away easily, otherwise it would be a loss.
The first assessment was conducted by relatives recommended by the brigade cadres.
Lin Yu handed over the assessment to Lin Shan, who was now a candidate for captain and would not participate in the assessment.
Although Lin Yuan participated, everyone believed in Lin Shan's fairness and impartiality, since the assessment content was all laid out in the open.
For men, the main criteria are strength and attention to detail.
Those who are skinny and weak will be eliminated;
Those who are not clean and whose hands are covered in black grime will be eliminated;
If you don't cut sweet potatoes to the prescribed size, your kitchen knife will become unusable and should be discarded.
Ultimately, only two suitable candidates were selected from among these individuals.
Lin Yu personally took on the assessment of the women.
Most of the women who came to participate knew Lin Yu, after all, she was quite popular among the women in the brigade, and they had even fought together twice.
The main thing to assess here is hygiene.
Some of the older women in the village are really too slovenly; they don't wash their hair or clothes, so we don't feel comfortable letting them cook for us.
Lin Yu examined them carefully, and in the end, she selected three women from the group.
Grandma Lin was one of them; she came specifically to support Lin Yu's work.
Lin Yu originally thought that she was too old and that working in the workshop would be too hard, so she didn't want her to come.
But Grandma Lin felt that she was in good health and wanted to experience what it was like to work in a factory.
Since it was her own choice, Lin Yu agreed.
Grandma Lin will definitely pass the test; she has culinary skills and a pair of skillful hands.
She is also very clean; her hands are always dry and warm, her clothes are neat, and her hair is always combed meticulously.
Even without the "granddaughter" filter, Lin Yu felt that she was very suitable to work in the workshop.
Afterwards, they assessed the other team members and selected five more to enter the workshop.
"You two get ready. If the workshop develops smoothly, we will recruit office staff later, and educated youth can also take the exam."
That's right, the educated youth did not participate in the selection of workshop workers this time.
Since there are limited spots, we can only consider our own team members first.
But Lin Yu's plan was to set up an office. The educated youth were there to support the construction, and they should use their cultural knowledge to help the brigade live a better life, instead of just burying themselves in farm work.
But that's all for the future. Lin Yu is just reminding them to prepare. She won't go easy on them during the assessment.
Although it was just wishful thinking, Song Meili was quite happy, hoping that Lin Yu's workshop could grow bigger and stronger.
Ou Manqing felt somewhat guilty. He had been reborn and had so much knowledge about the future in his mind, but he had never thought of using it to help the team.
Lin Yu's words served as a reminder to her, and she secretly resolved to help Lin Yu develop the workshop.
After speaking with the two, Lin Yu returned to the workshop.
She quickly wrote down the simple rules and regulations, and was going to read them to the workers once they all arrived.
After all, many of the people here are illiterate.
Ma Lianhua scoffed, "Xiaoyu, what are you doing? Why are you reciting these things? Don't you trust us?"
Lin Yu knew that this Ma Lianhua would definitely find fault with the workshop, but he didn't expect it to start so early.
In fact, according to Lin Yu's selection criteria, and with far more applicants than available positions, Ma Lianhua wouldn't have been able to get into the workshop.
Unfortunately, she was the sister-in-law of Li, the accountant of the brigade, and also had some kinship with Li Dahui's aunt Lin.
Her quota was counted under the category of relatives of cadres.
She stood out from the crowd, even though everyone else was just average.
Among the relatives of cadres, Lin Yu finally chose three people: Grandma Lin, Ma Lianhua, and Sister-in-law Wang.
Grandma Lin and Sister-in-law Wang are both her own people, but Lin Yu had long anticipated that Ma Lianhua would argue with her.
“Aunt Ma, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but there can be no order without rules. Since the team leader has entrusted the workshop to me, everyone should follow the rules.”
"These are the rules and regulations inside: don't be late or leave early, keep things clean. Can't you even meet these requirements?"
