Chapter 34: Work Implementation
After listening to the captain's words, Liu Xinghe felt even more anxious.
In their small place, Qingyong Commune, there are more people eyeing a job than in the city, and the work of the supply and marketing cooperative is even more eye-catching.
Their slacking team has people from Long Aotian's system and the heroine in the revenge-seeking heroine novel, so the chance of interception has doubled.
Suddenly, Liu Xinghe was a little glad that Zhang Aotian was sent to labor reform, leaving only the heroine Liu Shiyu without a powerful plug-in, and the risk of interception has been reduced by more than half.
But as long as the work of the supply and marketing cooperative is not handled properly, there will be a risk for one day, and she will never let such a thing happen.
Liu Xinghe decided that no matter what, he must drag Director Zhou and his daughter to get the job done today and not give anyone a chance.
So, after getting the relevant information of the household registration certificate, everything fell into place.
After leaving the team, Director Zhou took Zhou Xiaomei to handle the household registration transfer in the morning, and then started to deal with the job exchange with Liu Xinghe in the afternoon.
This matter was easier to handle. Director Zhou took Zhou Xiaomei and Liu Xinghe to find his old friend, Director Zhao of the Qingyong Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative, to help with the handover of the salesperson's job.
Director Zhou and Director Zhao have been friends for decades, and their friendship is quite good.
At the beginning, Zhou Xiaomei also exchanged this job with someone else through Director Zhao's relationship.
Regarding the matter of changing the job to Liu Xinghe, Director Zhou had already written a letter to his old friend in advance.
Therefore, today, Director Zhao took Liu Xinghe's information and looked at it without saying a word. He quickly stamped her document and processed it.
Liu Xinghe officially took over Zhou Xiaomei's job from now on.
The salary is 25 yuan, plus some subsidies, it can be about 30 yuan, and it is paid on the 1st of each month.
The supply and marketing cooperative has a special canteen for eating. After paying 10 yuan of food allowance every month, employees can go to the canteen for three meals a day.
Accommodation is a bit tight. There are no extra dormitories available for the time being. Before, Zhou Xiaomei also rode a bicycle back to the team to live. If the bicycle is fast, it only takes about 20 minutes for a trip.
For a modern person like Liu Xinghe, this commuting time is not a big deal at all. She accepts it very well and regards it as daily exercise.
Working in the supply and marketing cooperative also has an invisible benefit, that is, defective products, goods that do not require invoices, and those in short supply can enjoy priority.
Although the salary and benefits are not as good as her job in the steel factory, it is still a very enviable job in this country, and she is still quite satisfied with this job.
After completing the formalities, Director Zhao put away the documents, looked at Liu Xinghe and said gently:
"The formalities have been completed. Xiaomei took a seven-day leave before, and she also found a temporary worker to replace her. Now there are four days of leave left, so you can return to work after the leave is used up."
"Okay, thank you Director." Liu Xinghe bowed gratefully.
Director Zhou saw that the matter was handled, walked over and put his arm around Director Zhao's shoulders to thank him: "Old Zhao, I really troubled you with the matter of my daughter and Xinghe girl."
Liu Xinghe and Zhou Xiaomei looked at each other, stood aside tactfully, and left space for the two elders.
Director Zhao laughed heartily:
"Haha, why should we be polite to each other? It's only natural. My niece's business is my business. It's no problem."
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. It just so happens that we are both free today. Let's go have a drink. I've brought the wine." Director Zhou took out a bottle of wine from his bag and handed it to Director Zhao.
Director Zhao looked down and said in surprise: "Wow, Wuliangye, brother, you took out all the good wine you have collected."
"Of course I have to take out the wine you have collected to invite my brother to drink. We have been friends for decades. I would not do it to anyone else. Let's go to the state-owned hotel and call my sister-in-law to join us." Director Zhou took Director Zhao's arm and walked out. He turned around and said hello to the two ladies standing beside him to follow.
"Okay, then I won't be disrespectful today." Director Zhao happily let Director Zhou hug him.
In the state-owned hotel of Qingyong Commune.
Director Zhou and Director Zhao were toasting each other and chatting happily.
Zhou Xiaomei was eating like crazy, talking from time to time.
Liu Xinghe was chatting with Director Zhao's wife, Aunt Qiu Hong.
Not for anything else, just because Aunt Qiu Hong was also a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative's store. These were all connections. Zhou Xiaomei didn't need to maintain them, but she could. Director Zhou brought her to dinner, obviously to help her expand her connections, so of course she had to accept it.
Of course, she did not disappoint Director Zhou's kindness, and she spoke pleasant words without hesitation, without being flattering or greasy, and she got the right balance of communication.
Her affectionate peach blossom eyes gave people a special sense of sincerity, and her words were particularly pleasing.
Aunt Qiu Hong had a very good impression of her. They chatted happily. She held Liu Xinghe's hand and praised her:
"You are a well-behaved child. Aunt Qiu Hong felt friendly and sweet when she saw you. It was a pleasure to chat with you. So, when you come to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, you can follow me and we can work together."
"Then I have to thank Aunt Qiu first. I can learn from you, so I will definitely make rapid progress. I am already looking forward to the day when I start working."
Liu Xinghe happily agreed, and the expression on her face showed that she felt honored and full of enthusiasm for future work.
She also found out some news while chatting with Aunt Qiu Hong.
The daily life supply store of the supply and marketing cooperative is divided into several major areas: rice, flour, grain, oil and non-staple food area, department store area, and cloth, shoes and clothing area.
Aunt Qiu Hong is a salesperson at the cloth counter in the cloth shoes and clothing area. There is no shortage of cloth for this counter job, and it is easy. The key is to be a good counter with connections, and defective cloth is still very popular.
Therefore, Liu Xinghe is sincerely grateful and happy.
Who doesn't like to hear nice words? Qiu Hong was so happy to hear this: "Haha, then Auntie will definitely teach you well and let you get started quickly."
"Then I will definitely study hard and live up to Auntie's teachings." Liu Xinghe replied with a smile, holding up the water glass: "I will toast Auntie with tea instead of wine."
"Okay, cheers."
Aunt Qiu Hong smiled happily, holding up the water glass in front of her and clinking glasses with her.
Later, Liu Xinghe, led by Director Zhou, toasted Director Zhao and expressed his gratitude.
After the meal, Liu Xinghe's job was officially confirmed. It was proposed by Aunt Qiu Hong, and Director Zhao agreed to transfer her to work with Aunt Qiu Hong to sell cloth.
After her leave was over, she officially joined the cloth counter of the supply and marketing cooperative's sales department. After dinner
, Liu Xinghe returned to the team and followed Zhou Xiaomei back to her small room. She took out six yuan from her pocket and handed it to Director Zhou with great sincerity.
"Uncle, this is the money for today's meal. Take it. I also have to thank you for introducing Aunt Qiu Hong and Director Zhao to me today."
Half of the bill for today's meal was what she should give.
"Okay, I'll take the money."
Director Zhou's impression of Liu Xinghe became better and better. He liked this polite and principled girl very much. He took the money and took out 9 yuan from his pocket to make 15 yuan and handed
it to Liu Xinghe. "This is the money I give you. The bicycle was ruined like that. It can't be compared with your bicycle. We also agreed at the beginning that the difference will be made up according to the degree of damage to the bicycle. Zhang Aotian's compensation is what he should pay you. I am making up the difference here."
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you."
Liu Xinghe accepted it happily.
Of course she would not refuse. Who would complain about giving up too much money? Besides, it was what she deserved. She got everything from Zhang Aotian by herself.
"Okay, then you and Xiaomei hand over the items. We plan to go back to the city tomorrow. I have been running all day today. I am very tired. I will go to wash and rest first. You can take your time."
Director Zhou nodded with a smile, stretched his neck, supported his waist, and walked towards the male educated youth next door.
"Xinghe, come quickly, let's hand over quickly." Zhou Xiaomei took Liu Xinghe's hand and went to hand over the things in the house.
Although the house is small, it has everything.
The living area is about 17 square meters.
There is a small bed inside. A
small bed like this, the heroine uses
a new vertical wardrobe.
The upper wardrobe is divided into small compartments, but the lower one is not
. A large cabinet for quilted sheets.
The space is huge, so it is not a problem to put several quilts
. A washbasin rack.
The height of the washbasin is just right, so you don't have to bend down
. A small desk.
The drawer under the desk can also hold some books and stationery.
There is also a small window in front of the desk, which lights up the whole room. There is
also a wooden board next to it to separate the living area from the kitchen area.
The kitchen area is about 8 square meters, with a small stove and two stove holes. There is a large iron pot in the front and a silver pot in the back.
Remove the stone that blocks the passage between the two pots in the middle. When the iron pot is heated, the antimony pot at the back can be heated. Usually, water is stored at the back for washing.
There is also a cupboard next to it, which is used to store condiments, bowls and chopsticks, food, rice and vegetables.
Put some bowls on top and some rice and flour below
. There is also a water tank next to the cabinet.
The pottery water tank is used to draw water from the well in the yard to the water tank for drinking.
And kitchen utensils such as the scoop and the dustpan are hung on the nails of the wall.
There are dustpans and brooms under the wall.
A dustpan
A broom handle made of sorghum stalks
There is also a small stove that can burn firewood.
Zhou Xiaomei took Liu Xinghe to look at the things one by one, then waved her hands:
"How is it? Not bad, right? I only took away my personal items such as my clothes and shoes, and I'll give you all the other things. They are all new and have been used for less than four months."
"Not bad, quite complete." Liu Xinghe nodded.
She liked this house and the things inside. The main thing was that it had everything, so she didn't have to buy anything else. The privacy was also good. Once the door was closed and the curtains on the windows were pulled, nothing could be seen.
"That's good. There's a vegetable plot behind the Youth League compound with some vegetables planted in it. They were planted by my parents who came over to help me reclaim the land when I went to the countryside. Many of the vegetables have already grown and are given to you. Remember to take care of it. I haven't taken care of it for a long time and I don't know how it's doing."
"Okay."
Zhou Xiaomei walked over and hugged Liu Xinghe:
"Thank you, Xinghe, thank you for giving me such a good job opportunity. We must keep in touch by letters in the future. From now on, I unilaterally declare that we are good friends. If you need anything that can be found in the city, just write to me and I will buy it for you and send it to you."
"Okay, then I'd like to thank you first, my friend." Liu Xinghe patted Zhou Xiaomei on the back and agreed.
One more friend means one more way. Zhou Xiaomei is a simple person. She is fine as a friend. She doesn't mind having too many friends.
Zhou Xiaomei happily let go of Liu Xinghe: "Okay, then we will hand over the keys here around seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay, it's getting late. I'll go back first. See you tomorrow morning."
Liu Xinghe waved and walked outside. She didn't go to the collective living area
of the Youth House. Since she can live in this room tomorrow, she will not live in the big bunk bed in the Youth House. She can't accept staying in the big bunk bed at home for another night.
Walking out of Zhou Xiaomei's yard, Liu Xinghe saw Liu Sanchuan waiting outside the Youth House.
"Sister, are you ready? I'll take you home." Liu Sanchuan looked at his younger sister coming out and walked forward with a smile.
"Okay, Third Brother, let's go home." Liu Xinghe walked over quickly.
It felt good to have family members thinking about you.
"Okay." Liu Sanchuan happily turned on the flashlight in his hand, and the two siblings walked home.
The weather was particularly hot tonight, and many people in the Liu family were sitting outside in the yard to cool off.
Liu Xinghe walked over and greeted everyone.
Everyone responded, except Yang Cuihong, the eldest aunt of the Liu family, who was fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan and pretended not to hear anything. She also rolled her eyes and stared at Liu Xinghe with a pair of mean eyes, and her voice was particularly sinister.
"Hey, Xinghe is back again. I heard that you are an educated youth in our team now. Why don't you live in the educated youth courtyard? It's so spacious, crowded and lively. It seems that you have a bad memory. You are no longer a member of our Liu family. It's better not to come back to live here, lest people gossip and say that you are eating for free."
Before Liu Xinghe could speak, Liu Sanchuan couldn't help but laughed sarcastically.
"Aunt, my sister doesn't seem to live in your house, and doesn't eat in your house. My whole family agrees. She is from the third branch of my Liu family. What you said here is quite funny."
Liu Sanchuan is not used to anyone. No matter whether you are the eldest aunt or the third aunt, he will directly and mercilessly criticize you. After criticizing his parents, he will also praise him, so he outputs it in one go.
"What? Did my sister eat for free at your house, or live in your house? It's not worth your meddling in other people's business. You should take care of your Jinbao. She is still young, but she knows how to run around and beg for food. When she grows up, she will definitely eat in the police station."
"You..." Yang Cuihong's tongue is not as quick as Liu Sanchuan's. She was so angry that she was interrupted every time she said a word. When she heard the last sentence about grandson, she was even more furious and yelled:
"You, you are the one who eats in the police station. My Jinbao is the one who eats commercial food and has a stable job."
"Your Jinbao has a stable job, and from the age of three to the age of old, your Jinbao is just a freeloader."
Ning Xiuyun, who was happily waiting for the daughter of the family to come back, heard the people from the old family talking about her daughter of the family as soon as she came out. Her face suddenly turned cold, and she glared at her and said:
"Yang Cuihong, let me make this clear first. My Xinghe is my daughter and will be my daughter all her life. She can stay as long as she wants and eat whatever she wants. Tomorrow I will cut meat and cook dumplings for her. You can just be jealous. Conjunctivitis is also a disease. You should go find the old yellow head in the team to get you some medicine to treat it. Next time you dare to call me your daughter, I will get you some mute medicine. If you can't speak, I will use medicine to cure your throat."
Yang Cuihong was frightened by Ning Xiuyun's aura and could only whisper, "I'm doing this for the good of your family. You don't know what's good for you. Bah."
Ning Xiuyun walked over and pulled Liu Xinghe into the house. Liu Xinghe was so moved that she didn't even have time to open her mouth before her family took care of her.
Then she followed Ning's mother and turned around, looking at Yang Cuihong with a smile:
"Aunt, since you say I'm a freeloader, I'll go to your house tomorrow morning for dinner. I'll come as soon as you open your house for dinner. See you tomorrow morning!"
