Chapter 167: Wages are paid

Not long after Su Mo arrived at the office, Li Yunwang came to ask her to go to his office to collect her wages.

As the director of the office, Li Yunwang also served as the personnel officer. He was responsible for the payment of wages and benefits to employees and cadres.

Su Mo was naturally very enthusiastic to collect her wages for the first time, and she went there immediately.

The wages were 27.5 yuan, and because the New Year was coming soon, there was also a 5 yuan holiday allowance, a total of 32.5 yuan.

As for the tickets, in addition to the monthly fixed amount of oil, meat and coal tickets, there were also 12 meters of cloth tickets, and the commune issued a few more daily tickets.

There were also New Year benefits of one pound of bacon, two bars of soap, and two canned yellow peaches.

Su Mo was very satisfied with the fact that she received so many things in her first paycheck.

After Su Mo signed the form, Li Yunwang said, "The commune will have three days off for the Spring Festival, from the first to the third day of the first lunar month."

"Okay, I got it, thank you Director Li." Su Mo thanked him and returned to the office with her things.

At that time, the Spring Festival holiday was not that long, it was three days off.

After lunch, Su Mo strolled to the supply and marketing cooperative to see how Lu Xiaolan was doing.

Lu Xiaolan had just discussed with her colleagues how to divide the defective products, and when she saw Su Mo coming, she quickly called her over.

"Third sister-in-law, the defective goods for the New Year have arrived, and there are quite a lot of them. I have a large quota in my name, I'll take you to have a look, you can choose first." As he said that, he took Su Mo to the warehouse.

Because of the gold mine, the level of the commune supply and marketing cooperative was also raised. This year, the number of defective goods distributed was almost double that of previous years.

These things are consumed internally first, and the remaining ones will be sold outside.

Su Mo secretly looked at Lu Xiaolan, and seeing that she didn't seem to be affected, she silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Su Mo's expression, Lu Xiaolan knew what she was worried about. She smiled and whispered, "Don't worry, my mother-in-law didn't make it difficult for me."

"Third brother came to talk to Jingming. Although he didn't become the secretary of the Party Committee, he was promoted to a higher level."

Yang Jingming was at level 26 before, with a salary of 33 yuan. This time, Lu Changzheng made some arrangements for him and promoted him to level 25, with a salary of 38 yuan.

After all, Lu Xiaolan still had to be there, and Lu Changzheng couldn't completely ignore her. Although he couldn't transfer her, he could still make some arrangements for her to be promoted to a higher level.

Yang Jingming had also worked for several years and was quite diligent, so he met the conditions for promotion.

"Third sister-in-law, don't worry. During this period of time, I have also figured it out. You don't have to worry about me in the future." Lu Xiaolan said.

She had compromised before out of consideration for her husband, but these few months, she also realized that Yang Jingming was not as good as she thought.

If everyone gets along normally, then life will be just fine. If you want to show off in front of her, that's not enough. She, Lu Xiaolan, is not a coward.

Lu Changzheng talked to her two days ago and gave her confidence.

She endured it, on the one hand, out of consideration for her husband, as a younger generation, it is not good to contradict the old man too much; on the other hand, she was also afraid that if the quarrel was too stiff, it would not end well in the future, and she would have nowhere to go. At

this time, there are very few people getting divorced.

Many women, no matter how hard it is to endure in their husband's family, dare not easily divorce and return to their parents' home. They are afraid that their brothers and sisters-in-law will mind, that their parents will scold them, and that their behavior will affect their family.

In some places with feudal ideas, if there is a divorce in a family, the whole family will be pointed at.

Most of the older generation of this era are persuading or not persuading a couple to divorce. At most, they would take their son to the man's house and beat him up.

Lu Xiaolan didn't know if her parents would agree or her brother and sister-in-law would accept her if she went home after a quarrel with her in-laws.

But that day, her third brother told her that if she could live well, she would live well, and if she couldn't, she would go home. Then

, she was relieved.

If she and Yang Jingming really couldn't live together one day, at least she would have a brother who was willing to accept her when she went home, and that was enough.

The two arrived at the warehouse, and there were indeed a lot of things, but Su Mo didn't need much.

Su Mo asked for 2 kilograms of defective wool, and she couldn't ask for more, because Lu Xiaolan only had 4 kilograms.

The defective wool yarn did not require a ticket, and the price was half as cheap, only 14 yuan for two kilograms. It was also gray, but the dyeing was not done well, and there were many brown and black lines.

Then she asked for a terry blanket with some defects for Lu Boming. When she went to his room to see him before, she saw that his thin quilt was already very torn and had many patches.

It was called a defective quilt, but in fact, it was just that some corners were dyed with other colors.

This kind of terry blanket, if sold at the original price, would cost 11.2 yuan, plus a five-foot cloth ticket. Now that it is identified as a defective product, it only costs eight yuan, and no ticket is required.

Su Mo gave the ticket, took the things and went back to the office.

In the afternoon, when Li Yue'e came to pick her up, she talked about pulling the wires.

"Your father said that in a week at most, the wires will be pulled to our brigade. When the time comes, each household that wants to have electricity will have to pay a five-yuan wire-pulling fee." Li Yue'e said.

Electric wires are also very expensive these days. The north is vast, and the distance between each house is not close. The five-yuan wire-pulling fee is still mostly covered by the government.

Su Mo took out five yuan from her pocket and gave it to Li Yue'e, "Mom, please help me give it to Dad later."

"Okay." Li Yue'e took the money, "Your father and others went to count today. There are not many families in the brigade who need electricity, only more than 30 households. If the number is small, the power supply station may not be willing to pull it."

"Why?" Su Mo was a little surprised. This is less than one-fifth. It is so convenient to have electricity. It won't be pitch black at night.

"You think the electricity bill is too expensive." Li Yue'e said, "The electricity bill is 2.2 yuan per kilowatt-hour. No matter how economical you use it, you will need 10 kilowatt-hours a month. The electricity bill alone is more than two yuan a month. How can I afford it?"

"If you use kerosene lamps economically, it will only cost a little over a pound a month, which is just a few cents."

Su Mo thought about it. Most of the light bulbs now are 15 watts. A 15-watt light bulb, turned on for 24 hours, will only use 0.36 kilowatt-hours. What's more, rural people are frugal and only turn on the light bulb for 3 to 4 hours at night. If we calculate it based on 4 hours, it will only use 0.06 kilowatt-hours a day, and 1.8 kilowatt-hours a month, and the electricity bill will not exceed 40 cents.

"Mom, no need. If you only turn on a 15-watt lamp for three or four hours at night, the electricity bill will only be 40 cents a month."

Li Yue'e was amazed, "So cheap?" She was worried that she would have to spend a lot more every month in the future.

If the electricity bill is only a few cents, it is definitely better than using kerosene lamps. Kerosene needs tickets to buy it. Electric lamps are much better. Once turned on, the whole room is bright.

"Mom, when you ask Dad and others to do the statistics, ask them to calculate the electricity bill. As long as the lights are not turned on all day, it can definitely be done within 1 yuan." It is estimated that the two old people have not studied physics and do not know how to calculate.

"Okay, I will go back and tell them that everyone will be willing to pay for these few cents of electricity."

When getting off the car, Su Mo gave Li Yue'e a towel blanket, two canned yellow peaches and a bar of soap.

"Mom, I've distributed my salary and benefits today. Take these things. The towel blanket is for grandpa."

Li Yue'e took it with a smile. It was almost the New Year. Xiaomo knitted a sweater for her, so she had to make a piece of clothing for her.
