Captain Zhou Jiaqiao thought about it and felt that there was no reason for the village to pay for those young people to learn skills for free.
We are now asking the villagers for their opinions. If they want to learn, they have to pay for it themselves. The village will gather those who want to learn and register, and the list will be sent to Dafang Village. There will be discounts if there are more people.
The village will give subsidies when you return after completing your studies.
There are quite a few things I want to learn.
Old Man Zhou wanted to send his grandson there, but his in-laws lived in Dafang Village, and it would cost money to go there via the village collective road. He wanted to use his connections so that he could go to school without spending any money.
Many people have this idea. After all, the two villages are too close to each other, and it is inevitable that they are related. Since there is such a relationship, why spend the money in vain?
However, not everyone has relatives in Dafang Village.
Someone asked: "Captain, what kind of skills are you learning?"
Captain Zhou took out a piece of red paper with big words written on it and began to read it.
"Those who want to learn tailoring have to be apprentices in their garment factory for six months, with one meal provided, and no money, but they only want ten people.
"Those who learn cooking also help the chef. The course lasts three years. The first year is free, but starting from the second year, the tuition fee is five yuan per year.
"Those who study mechanical maintenance will be taught by a master, and the tuition fee is ten yuan for one year.
The period for learning to shave is half a year. The tuition fee for the first month is one yuan. After that, you have to help the master and there is no tuition fee.
That’s all there is to it. If you want to learn, come and sign up.”
For a moment, no one moved.
Most people are struggling. Of course, the free ones are the best, but there are only ten people required to learn tailoring. If you go too late, there will be no spots left. But they still want to use their connections to see if they can get in.
So everyone hesitated.
After hesitating for a moment, those who had no relatives rushed forward first.
"Captain, I want to enroll my daughter in tailoring!"
"Yes, yes, yes, my son also wants to apply to be a tailor!"
Soon, the tailoring position was full of ten people, and the team leader shouted, "The tailoring position is full! The tailoring position is full!"
The one who had been clamoring to learn tailoring but hadn't gotten a spot quickly changed direction: "Hey! My family wants to learn cooking! Sign me up quickly!"
The first year of learning cooking is free, so wouldn’t it be better if they just stop learning after one year?
I've been studying for a year, so I should have learned something, right?
When I come back, I'll tell everyone I've learned cooking skills and that I can just eat. Do you really expect to be a chef in a big hotel?
I also applied for a major in mechanical maintenance. Although the tuition is expensive, it is very popular after graduation! If you invest more upfront, you will have an easier time later on.
There are also people who want to learn how to be a barber. It only costs one dollar and can take half a year. The tuition is not very high. The most important thing is that the period is short. You can start working after just half a year.
If I don't open a barber stall, can't I still make money by going to other villages to shave people's heads?
For a while, the registration site was very lively. Everyone was talking at once, and there was a lot of noise in my ears. One person was calling "cook, cook", and another was shouting "I want to learn mechanical maintenance". The team leader was dizzy.
He could only shout, "Take your time! One by one! I can't hear you clearly because of all the noise!"
While registration is still in full swing, Wu Muxiang and Hua Ziqiang are already looking forward to their free labor.
Otherwise, how can we say that the ancients were wise?
The so-called apprenticeship system is that the apprentice wants to learn skills, and the master wants someone to do the work. The two parties hit it off and become master and apprentice. This idea was also used by Wu Muxiang and Hua Ziqiang.
The factory charges 30 yuan for each worker, and asks these young people to intern on the production line for two months to learn the various processes of making clothes, and then slowly teach them how to cut and design clothes.
Not only do we have the labor force, we can also train the people we want.
Hua Ziqiang and the barber had the same idea.
There are so many people, it’s impossible for one person to teach them all.
I can only ask them to start by cutting vegetables.
Hua Ziqiang was going to set up a stall and had to prepare ingredients. Isn't this like a pillow being delivered to you when you are sleepy?
If they want to learn how to cook, ask them to cut vegetables. If they want to learn how to make pastry, ask them to grind and knead flour.
After they have mastered the knife skills, we will teach them how to cook. Those who are good at cooking will be sent to help in the canteen, and those who learn slowly will be taught more slowly.
This layering will make it much more efficient.
The barber's idea is to teach them simple hair cutting techniques first and then assign the work to them, which can not only reduce his own pressure but also allow them to practice.
Old Man Zhou came to Wan Qingliu with two large cabbages in his hand. His old face was wrinkled with a polite and slightly flattering smile. "Mother-in-law, our Xiaofeng is in his twenties and has no decent job. He wants to come to your village to learn some skills."
Wan Qingliu: "Can't Zhou Jiaqiao sign up to learn? Besides, I heard he's really good at fishing. Why does he have to learn the technique? Catching and selling fish is also an option."
Old Man Zhou sighed, looking somewhat worried: "Business isn't a serious job after all, and farming doesn't make much money. It's better to learn a skill and work in a factory."
"It doesn't matter if he's a cook, a barber, or a machine repairman. As long as he has something to eat, he's satisfied. Now he has a wife and children to support, so he has to have a job."
Wan Qingliu understood that Old Man Zhou wanted to get something for free because the young people in Dafang Village could study for free, so he wanted to use his connections.
The same conversation was happening in many other families. Those who had a good relationship with the team leader went to talk to him, and the team leader just waved his hand.
"That won't do! I'm telling you straight up, the children in our village are able to go to school because of the village's funding. The village's funding is equivalent to the funding of all villagers. Are you willing to pay for it yourself and give it to outsiders?"
After hearing this, the person who came to plead for mercy gave up. When he thought about his share of the money and the other children from the village taking advantage of him, he instantly became unhappy.
If the relationship is not good, then just reject it on the spot and start cursing.
"Back then, you borrowed grain from my family and refused to pay it back, and now you have the nerve to come and tell me this. Screw your father! If you want to learn, you have to pay for it yourself! Even our own children can't learn it!"
"No, then no. Do you think everyone can ask you to do the same? You're still my aunt? Bah! From now on, my family will never have anything to do with you again!"
The response was a spit. "Fuck you! You think I like being related to you? Go back!"
…
No matter what, Wan Qingliu had reason to refuse Old Man Zhou.
She pretended to be regretful and said, "Father-in-law, you saw it too. The captain disagrees. Actually, there's nothing wrong with doing business. Look, the current policies encourage business. It's good for children to make money."
Father Zhou sighed somewhat disappointedly, "Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. Sorry to trouble you."
While speaking, he put down two large cabbages.
