Chapter 121 The factory director needs a laundry person
There is strength in numbers. Most women nowadays know how to sew, otherwise they would simply not be able to survive.
So the three quilts were made quickly.
Cheng Hui took Zhao Daxing's car back to the machinery factory and gave Cheng Rui a new mattress, a new quilt, and a new pillow.
Cheng Rui hugged the quilt happily like a child.
He also didn't remember whether he had new bedding or not. It seemed that he didn't have any. The small mattress he used when he was a child might be new, but when he grew up, he just slept on it at home.
He had been thinking that he would save some money so that he could make new bedding for himself and his wife when they got married. As a result, his sister helped him realize half of his goal!
Regardless of the money, it feels good to be valued and cared for by others.
Cheng Hui couldn't bear to see him like this and her nose started to sore.
Suddenly, I saw Su Zhenzhen's eyes twinkling behind the crowd.
Cheng Hui immediately said, "This is a gift from me to you. Keep it well and don't lend it to anyone else."
Su Zhenzhen immediately looked up and pouted.
She really wanted to borrow it just now.
The few of them who came from Beijing all lived in the single dormitory of the machinery factory. She had a room all by herself. The bedding was old and had been slept on by countless people. It was also thin and she was so cold that she had to put all her clothes on top of it!
Finally found a new quilt...
"Don't worry, how could I bear to lend it to others? I can't bear to build it myself." Cheng Rui said.
When Cheng Hui saw his expression, she guessed that he wanted to take it back and give it to Zuo Lan.
"This is a gift from me to you. You are not allowed to give it to anyone else. If you want to give it to someone else, buy it yourself. I have plenty of cotton and cloth coupons. I can give you a few." Cheng Hui said.
"Okay!" Cheng Rui said immediately.
He also looked at his sister with some surprise and sigh. After his sister got married, she seemed like a different person, so capable that he almost didn't recognize her.
It was getting late, so Cheng Hui, Gao Yuan and Gao Zhi returned to the food factory.
Cheng Hui bought so many things, especially dozens of kilograms of cotton, which took up a lot of space and could not be put into the cart.
Zhao Daxing sent a truck and collected half a truckload of scrap metal to send back to the food factory for Cheng Hui.
Everyone was stunned when they saw dozens of kilograms of cotton.
They are also city people, but some city people have good conditions and some have bad conditions.
Their living conditions are extremely poor, and they cannot even fill their cotton jackets and trousers with new cotton every year.
Those cotton coupons can be used to support the children at home first.
As for quilts, most people make new ones when they get married, and they can be used for a lifetime.
"This is everyone's benefit today." Cheng Hui said with a smile.
Everyone immediately clapped and cheered. Lao Hei and Chen Laoshi were very sensitive and began to wipe their tears.
"Let's start the meeting. I'll tell you about today's achievements." Cheng Hui said.
Everyone entered the house happily and sat down obediently.
Gao Yuan sat in the corner of the room, watching quietly.
He found that the money he had saved for more than 20 years was not enough and he was overdrawing the rest of his life.
"This is a bicycle ticket. Who said they wanted bicycles before? Anyway, we have some extra ones, so let's give each of us one." Cheng Hui clicked the receipts, including one for Gao Zhi and herself.
"When the time comes, everyone can use Li Yan's money to buy it themselves. Don't say it's a welfare benefit. It would be a bit conspicuous if outsiders knew about it." Cheng Hui said.
There are factories that give out bicycles as welfare benefits, but only leadership-level personnel are eligible.
They are a small, bankrupt commune food factory, and they are giving out bicycles as welfare? It's simply telling everyone that there's something wrong with them.
Gao Zhi flipped the bicycle ticket in her hand with surprise. Could she also have a bicycle? This day is so good that it feels like a dream.
Cheng Hui put away her bicycle ticket. She planned to buy one after she gave birth, in case she still couldn't afford a car by then.
"These food coupons, meat coupons, oil coupons and cloth will be divided equally among everyone later." Cheng Hui said.
"Here are 2 TV tickets, 2 radio tickets, 1 washing machine ticket, oh, and 10 refrigerator tickets. Who wants one?"
"I want a radio ticket." said Sun Lai Fu.
"I want a radio, too." Chen said honestly.
The two were particularly interested in radio.
Of course, I was more interested in a TV, but it was too expensive. Even if I could get money from the factory to buy it, that money would be turned into cash and put into my pocket if I didn't pay it.
So it’s still your own money! I can't bear to spend money lavishly, so I'll just buy a radio first.
Cheng Hui also didn't think it was a wise choice for them to spend several hundred dollars to buy a black and white TV now.
But collective spending is an exception.
"Then let's buy a TV and put it in the office so that everyone can watch it together," she said.
Everyone was stunned and immediately supported it!
“That’s a good idea!”
"The factory director is really smart!"
"This is not called cleverness, this is called wisdom!"
Cheng Hui laughed: "Stop, I'll praise you after the meeting. Now continue. I'll keep the remaining TV ticket. If anyone wants to use it, just record it in the account. Also, I want this washing machine ticket."
No one had any objection.
"The factory director's hands are for drawing blueprints, not for rough work."
"This washing machine is best suited for you!"
In the past, they all thought that the refrigerator was the most useless thing, and the washing machine was the second most useless thing.
There are only a few pieces of clothes, you can just wash them by hand, why spend hundreds of dollars to buy a washing machine? It's simply a special kind among the great enemies.
But now that Cheng Hui said she wanted a washing machine, they really took it for granted that as the factory director, she had to have a washing machine!
Cheng Hui smiled. Her "differential treatment" was initially successful and everyone had become accustomed to her peculiarity.
"I've seen how a washing machine washes clothes. You need to change the water and wring the clothes yourself in the middle, which is very tiring." Tao Juan said, "Xiaozhi, don't tire your sister-in-law out. You can help her wash the clothes when the time comes."
Their factory manager not only needs a washing machine, but also someone to operate it.
Gao Zhi nodded: "Do I need you to tell me? I won't let my sister-in-law touch a drop of cold water except for washing her face!"
Aunt Qiao said, "How about you put the washing machine in the factory and I'll help you wash it. I heard that the clothes washed there are not clean."
"Yes, yes, I will help you wash them even if they are at the factory, especially the baby's diapers, which will still need to be washed by hand in the future. Bring them to me and I will wash them for you!" Tao Juan said.
Cheng Hui agreed with a smile. She really didn't plan to put it in the village, otherwise everyone in the village would come to borrow it.
It’s not that she can’t bear to do it, it’s just a washing machine, but she thinks it’s unhygienic!
There are a lot of lice and fleas in rural areas now, and there are also a lot of people suffering from scabies! She felt itchy all over just thinking about it.
"Also, I exchanged these things for cakes and handbags." She handed the bill to Wang Hui: "Remember to settle this bill when you deliver the goods tomorrow. Oh, I also borrowed 100 yuan, remember to pay it back."
Wang Hui nodded naturally. Li Yan turned his head to look at the bill and immediately praised: "The factory director is really amazing. This is a business with no capital!"
So many valuable tickets, worth hundreds or even more than a thousand dollars in total, were exchanged for dozens of cakes and a bunch of handbags!
"How come he is the factory director and we are not?"
A new round of flattery was about to come, so Cheng Hui quickly stopped it.
"Now our factory needs to hire two temporary workers to go to the paper box factory and monitor their production. The kraft paper sent out every day must match the things that should be made, especially the handbags. Even if they are damaged or defective, they must be taken back!"
Cheng Hui said: "We need to hire our own people for these two temporary workers. Do you have family members who can come on board?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time.
