Chapter 462: Hiring Another Person
At noon, Zhou Chenglei and his father also went home for lunch.
They go out to sea only to bring back the mussels.
It is much easier to collect than to put it down, and this is the second time I have tried to collect it.
The first batch that was released has been retrieved and is being kept tied around wooden stakes.
This batch was relatively large, but we managed to collect it before lunch.
After dinner, Zhou Chenglei, his father and others had to tie the collected mussels to wooden stakes.
It was low tide today, and the water receded quickly and far, so they had to hurry to wrap the ropes full of mussels around the wooden stakes.
Zhou Guodong had nothing to do, so he went along to help. He drove a tractor to plow the fields for the villagers at three o'clock in the afternoon.
My second cousin’s wife, Aunt Dong and Xu Ling helped with cleaning and clearing the house.
After cleaning up, Aunt Dong went home first, as Uncle Dong had difficulty moving and needed her to take care of him.
Second cousin's wife and Xu Ling also wanted to go home, so Zhou's mother saw them off.
The tide was receding, and Jiang Xia also wanted to see how the mussels he had raised before were doing, so they went out together.
On the way, the second cousin's wife asked Xu Ling: "How is it? What do you think of him?"
She looks nice, doesn't talk much, but is very considerate.
Xu Ling was a little embarrassed and said coyly: "He asked me to go to the market the day after tomorrow, and I agreed."
This means both parties are interested in each other and feel that they can give the relationship a try.
The second cousin's wife smiled and said, "Then let's get along for a while and see. You can only know her true nature after getting along with her. Get in touch with her a few more times. Anyway, you are only twenty years old, there is no rush."
He seems to be a good person now, but his temper and character are hard to tell. These will only gradually emerge as you get to know him better.
After all, some people treat outsiders and family members differently.
Some people are gentle, polite and considerate in front of outsiders, but they have a bad temper and speak coldly to their wives. Some even go so far as to swear at them and beat them. I am most afraid of marrying such a person.
Jiang Xia also said: "That's right, you can only know if it's suitable after you've been together. Date someone first, talk about love, and then settle down if you think it's suitable."
Jiang Xia also felt that Zhou Guodong was a good person, down-to-earth and hardworking, but one still had to be cautious when choosing a partner, and it would never be wrong to make a decision after getting to know each other better.
Zhou's mother also said: "Yes, after getting to know each other, you should agree to it if you think it's suitable and get to know him well."
"Yeah." Xu Ling agreed.
Zhou's mother deliberately took them past Zhou Guodong's house and let Xu Ling take a look.
It is also a tiled house made half of stone and half of mud brick, and is the same size as the Zhou family's old house.
There is a loquat tree planted in the yard.
"This is his family. They haven't split up yet, so the whole family lives together. But his two sisters-in-law are both easy to get along with. I think they get along well. You should pay attention to them in the future."
If they decide to date, they will definitely have the opportunity to visit each other's home during the relationship, and she can check it out for herself.
After all, Zhou's mother's personality gets along well with them, but that doesn't mean Xu Ling gets along too.
"Okay." Xu Ling took a look at the house. It was similar to her own, but her own house didn't have such a big yard.
Nowadays, every household has a house like this. Few people can afford to live in an apartment building, and there are only a few households in a village.
Moreover, not everyone can have a three-story building like the Zhou family, with so many rooms that they can't even live in them all.
Xu Ling also saw these things. Her family was poor, and several sisters had to squeeze into one room.
When the second cousin's wife saw her looking at the house, she said, "As for the house, the couple is diligent enough. If they earn enough money, they will have everything. Look at your sister Xiao Xia. When she got married, didn't she also live in the old house of the old mansion? The couple was very diligent. They worked as translators and went fishing. They earned enough money to buy such a big house, a tractor, a car, and a boat."
Jiang Xia: “…”
She felt that they were not hardworking, but just lucky.
"When your uncle and I got married, we didn't have a house either, and we didn't split up the family. Now we have a house, don't we? It's enough if the man is good. Nothing can compare to a husband and wife who are of one mind! Don't be greedy for those empty things. If you marry someone who is too rich, you will be annoyed enough! Of course, it's better to have a job, but those who have a job may not look down on us. We don't have a job ourselves."
Anyway, she doesn't agree with her sister-in-law's ideas.
However, Lei Yuzhen now has a decent job in the city, working as a purchasing agent in a garment factory. Her sister-in-law said that fabric and auxiliary material suppliers are rushing to give her gifts and invite her to dinner.
With such a good job, maybe she can really find a rich partner in the city.
My second cousin’s wife still hopes for the best for her niece, whether she is her niece from her mother’s side or her husband’s side.
Jiang Xia thought that Zhou's father would go out to sea the day after tomorrow. Since the business license for processing non-staple food has been obtained, Jiang Xia planned to ask Zhou's father to buy more small fish and find local dealers to buy them in large quantities.
Therefore, it would be impossible for only two or three people to handle the work, so she wanted to hire one more person in advance.
Last year, we made more than 13,000 yuan from selling three kinds of dried fish and the big sales before the New Year. Each of us got more than 6,000 yuan.

The Marquis said that he would continue to collect as much as they could produce this year.
Jiang Xia planned to do it in large quantities.
Not only small fish, but also jellyfish, squid strips and the like can be made into snacks.
Jiang Xia plans to slowly expand a small food workshop into a small food factory.
Of course, the food factory can’t be built that quickly, and she doesn’t have that much capital now.
But small workshops also need to hire one or two more people.
Just now, when she saw Xu Ling working efficiently and paying great attention to details and cleanliness, she felt that she was suitable for working in the food industry.
She said to Xu Ling, "I'm going to hire someone to make dried fish in a few days. Xiaoling, if you don't mind the hard work, you can come and help. The probation period is one month, and the salary is 60 yuan during the probation period. After the probation period, it will be 80 yuan a month."
Xu Ling's eyes widened: "I'm not afraid of hard work."
The monthly salary is 60 yuan, which is more than ten yuan more than Lei Yuzhen!
Jiang Xia: "It's just that your home is a little far from our village. Do you have a bicycle?"
The second cousin's wife couldn't help but feel happy for her niece, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Xia, don't worry, her house is closer than mine, and it only takes an hour and a half to walk!"
"I don't have a bicycle, but I won't be late! Don't worry, Sister Xia! What time does work start in the morning? I will be there on time!"
"Usually it's 8am to 11:30pm and 1:30pm to 5:30pm. I work about seven or eight hours a day."
In fact, there is no fixed working hours. When Aunt Fen and He Xinghuan worked together, they would start working after finishing their housework at around 7 o'clock. In order to finish frying the dried fish as soon as possible, they would work at night. However, if the work exceeded eight hours, Jiang Xia would pay Aunt Fen double the salary.
Sometimes there is less dried fish, so the work can be completed in one or two hours. Jiang Xia will also pay one or two hours of salary.
However, since we plan to run it as a small food workshop and hire more and more people, it will naturally have to become more formal.
"Then I won't be late at all!" She can leave home at 6:30 in the morning and walk to her destination in less than an hour and a half.
"When I get my salary, I'll buy a bicycle so I won't be late."
Jiang Xia: "Then I'll ask someone to let you know when to start work in a few days."
There were no telephones in those days. If you wanted to find someone for something, you would either go there in person or go to the market to see if there were people from the same village and ask them to pass on a message.
"good."
Sorry, sorry, my child has a performance today, so I'm late for two chapters! I'll make up for it tomorrow morning.
