Tian Nier was very happy to get Xia Ruzheng's approval, and told Tian Dazhuang about it when she got home.
Xia Ruzheng also mentioned this to Wen Zhichao, who naturally had no objections. With the increasing number of people in the factory, management demands more and more attention, making it impossible to attend to everyone all the time. Some young people these days, because they like to sleep in and can't get up in the morning, simply skip breakfast altogether. How can they have the energy to work in the morning? Placing the sign at the factory gate does provide some convenience for the workers.
Of course, Wen Zhichao is also very grateful to Tian Nier and her husband, especially Tian Nier. At that time, Xia Ruzheng was pregnant and happened to encounter the factory fire. She almost had a miscarriage. If Tian Nier had not been taking care of her all the time, who knows what the consequences would have been!
With Wen Zhichao's approval, Tian Nier felt relieved. Although she knew Xia Ruzheng's words were effective, she was still worried that Wen Zhichao would be unhappy. Moreover, Wen Zhichao now had many friends and relatives. What if someone else wanted to do this business? So Wen Zhichao's nod was a reassurance for the couple.
At the beginning of the new year, more laborers flocked to Guangzhou, and more people came to Guangzhou to seek opportunities to make a fortune. However, now that the most chaotic time of the 1980s is coming to an end, many people have missed the best opportunity.
Because of the increase in the number of people and the further disintegration of state-owned factories, it was not difficult for Wen Zhichao's factory to recruit people. He set up a few tables at the factory gate, and they were immediately filled with people.
Wen Zhichao, Awang and others were naturally very happy to see such a scene, but some of them were migrant workers. After arriving here, they didn't even look for a place to live, but went straight to find a job.
"Don't we have a few unused rooms in our factory? We can just clear them out and use them as temporary dormitories."
Just adding temporary dormitories will increase management pressure.
After hearing this, Awang did not refute and went to do the work immediately.
If your subordinates are capable, you can save yourself a lot of trouble.
The factory started production on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. The workers were very excited to go to work in the new factory and were very motivated to work. If they could make money, they would also be able to benefit from it in the future, right?
Xia Ruqian also called and said that she planned to take Xia Chunfu to live with her for a while when the weather got warmer.
"I saw that the house was quite deserted and Dad was quite bored at home alone, so I thought of bringing him over to live with me for a while. I told him that Binbin really liked Grandpa and wanted him to live with him, and Dad agreed after much persuasion!"
Xia Ruzheng was also very happy: "That's great! I'm just worried that Dad can't stand the bumps on the road."
"It's okay, it's much better now. It used to take most of the day to get from home to the provincial capital, but now there are more buses and they're faster, so I can get there in half a day!"
"Well, it's better if you live nearby. You can go home whenever you want, and it's convenient for Dad to go to your place too."
When Xia Ruzheng was released, he had always dreamed of buying a large house with a garden, and then using it to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks for his father. But even after all these years, his dream hadn't materialized.
Xia Ruqian comforted him, "Why do you think so much? How much money do you send to Dad every year? How many good things do you buy? I can't compare to you. Oh, other people say that daughters are not good, I want to see who has a daughter that can compare to us!"
Xia Ruzheng was really helpless with his sister. "You, your mouth always makes me angry! How is Dad now?"
Although Xia Chunfu had always been in good health, without Huang Zhong, his wicked son-in-law, he no longer had to work so hard for his future. If the old man were still in good health, he would have no problem working in the fields. However, time was merciless, and one could still see more and more white hair, more and more wrinkles, and more severe rheumatism.
"That's fine. Now that we're married, we don't have much land left at home. Dad is getting old, and he has to hand over all the land. I can't stand it if he has to farm and pay taxes at such an old age."
It's still the same now. Land is allocated based on the number of people registered on the household, and grain is harvested based on the land. The country won't exempt grain taxes until the 21st century! So at Xia Chunfu's age, he works the fields not just to eat, but also to pay his grain bills.
To be honest, Xia Ruzheng is a little skeptical about the current propaganda about the family planning policy. Xia Chunfu now relies on himself for retirement. There will be more and more elderly people in the future, and the country will not be able to afford to support them.
Given Xia Chunfu's age, he could have applied to stop farming. However, the government's pension policy hasn't been finalized yet, and senior citizens can't simply collect a pension with their ID or senior citizen card. Therefore, if he doesn't farm anymore, he'll still have to rely on his children for support. Xia Chunfu must have accumulated a considerable amount of wealth over his lifetime, so he doesn't have to worry about providing for himself in his old age.
"I brought Dad here to save him from being bothered in the countryside. You have no idea how much money people think we two sisters make out there. One day one comes to borrow money, the next day the other one comes to beg for help, wanting to work in your factory. I've only been living with him for two days, and I've encountered several people who asked for this kind of thing. But I chased them away."
Xia Ruqian was still so fierce, and Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but think of her heroic battle against the Huang sisters alone.
"I really didn't expect this to happen. Many people from my husband's family have asked for favors, and some even gave gifts. However, I didn't show up and let them go directly to Zhichao. If Zhichao is happy to accept it, I have no objection. If Zhichao is not happy, I won't try to persuade him."
