Chapter 375 I have no choice
In the evening, Wang Cuimei came back and Director Song of the Management Office stopped her and told her about Liu Yuzhi's phone call and asked her to help convey it to Su Mo.
"Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow and tell her in the morning." Wang Cuimei said.
The Su family is preparing to open a second shop. She hasn't seen Su Mo in the past few days. She heard that she was busy with the new shop and left early every morning. She was also afraid that the other party had something urgent, so she planned to go there early tomorrow to tell her.
"Hey, Sister Wang, how is their grocery store business? Can it continue?" Director Song leaned over and asked quietly.
She really couldn't understand it. A good university professor went to sell buns and engage in speculation. I'm afraid there is something wrong with his brain.
Although, the teacher was scolded as a stinky old ninth before. But the college entrance examination has been reinstated, and good days are coming, but this happened?
"Why can't they continue to run the business? Business is so good that they are about to open a second store." Wang Cuimei said.
Director Song was shocked. It has only been open for a short time, and they are about to open a second store?
"Can speculation make so much money?"
"Oh, Director Song, you can't say that. We are not speculating. We are approved by the organization to participate in the national test, which is to serve the country." Wang Cuimei corrected it quickly. What
she hated most was that others said they were speculating, but they were legal and compliant, and even the Revolutionary Committee recognized it.
"Yes, yes, look at my mouth, I said the wrong thing." Director Song smiled. "Is it really that profitable?"
"Whether it is profitable or not, how would I know. But the buns are selling well, this thing is easy to sell, so it should be profitable." Wang Cuimei laughed.
"Then how much do they pay you a month?" Director Song asked. These days, wages are based on rank, and are basically transparent, so there is no shame in asking about wages.
"We don't pay monthly, but daily, two yuan a day." Wang Cuimei said with some pride.
She was afraid of causing trouble for Su Mo before, so she didn't dare to talk about her salary when others asked. When she talked about this with Su Mo some time ago, Su Mo said she was not afraid to talk about it, they did things according to the rules and regulations, and there was nothing that couldn't be told to others.
Since Director Song asked today, she told it. Director Song may have the title of director, but how much can a director of the family home management office earn? Only 38 yuan a month.
Director Song gasped, "So high?" The family members who cook in the family home cafeteria only earn 26 yuan a month.
Wang Cuimei was possessed by Versailles and waved her hand, saying, "The salary is a bit high, but our job is not stable, and it's not like a proper job with other benefits."
In fact, their job is very stable. She has been working for more than three months and has not missed a day of work. As long as you don't take leave, you can work as many days as you want. She heard from Director Zhang that after opening a new shop, he will recruit more people.
Although they don't have other benefits, Director Zhang will give each of them some seasonal fruits. Sometimes when there is too much meat left over from the day, he will cut some for each of them to take home.
Of course, Wang Cuimei will not tell these things to avoid attracting attention.
After hearing what Wang Cuimei said, Director Song felt better. Yes, their jobs are stable, easy, and have good benefits. Although her salary is high, who knows how long she can work?
Thinking of this, Director Song's thoughts just came to her mind.
Her niece went to the countryside last year, but she couldn't stand it, so she retired this year due to illness. Now that she is back, she can't just stay at home and rely on her parents every day, so she has to find a way to arrange a job for her.
After hearing Wang Cuimei say that the salary was so high, she was thinking of looking for Su Mo to see if she could arrange for her niece to go there. But now it seems that forget it and think of other ways. Although the salary there is higher, it is not stable, and it is not decent to say it out loud. At
this time, most people are proud of having a stable job, and being able to do things for a lifetime is more important than anything else.
The next day, Wang Cuimei went to the studio early in the morning and happened to run into Su Mo and Su Yiyuan who were about to go out, so she quickly told her about the matter.
Su Mo heard that Liu Yuzhi called her several times, and thought something had happened there, so she quickly went to the post office and called Lu Jiacun.
After Liu Yuzhi finished her phone call yesterday, she was afraid that she would not be at home if Su Mo called and someone else at home would pick up the phone and interrupt her work, so she went back to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask for leave from the director.
This morning, she took her needlework basket and went to the sun-drying area of the brigade headquarters early to wait, half-heartedly mending while waiting for the call.
After a while, she heard the phone ring and rushed over.
It happened to be the turn of the women's director Lu Guilan to take over today. She was talking to Su Mo and preparing to broadcast a notice to the branch secretary's home when she saw Liu Yuzhi rushing in.
"Auntie, is it my third brother's wife calling?"
Lu Guilan smiled, "You really have a good ear, it's Su Mo calling. I don't need to notify anyone, you answer it."
After saying that, she handed the phone to Liu Yuzhi and got up and went out.
Lu Guilan is a respectable person and doesn't like to listen to gossip, so when someone calls her on duty, she will avoid it a little.
"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong at home?"
"Xiao Mo, there's nothing wrong at home, it's just that sister-in-law wants to ask you for a favor..." Liu Yuzhi said that Lu Fengqin didn't get into high school and wanted her to go to Guangzhou to see the world.
Su Mo was startled. If it was still the diligent and down-to-earth Lu Fengqin when she was a child, she would definitely accept her without hesitation. Anyway, they all wanted to recruit people, and it was better to find a family member than an outsider.
But now, she didn't dare to accept her. This kind of vain and weak-minded little girl was the most likely to get into trouble. She was busy to begin with and had no time to help others teach children.
Although she hadn't returned to Lujia Village in recent years, she had never lost contact with Lu Xiaolan. Lu Xiaolan had mentioned to her in letters several times that Lu Fengqin had been taught astray by her sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, this is a difficult matter. If Fengqin wants to come over to play for a few days, there's no problem. But if she wants to come here to work, that's very difficult to do."
"Sister-in-law knows that it's difficult to arrange work in the army. The army doesn't need to arrange this. I heard that your father opened a small shop. You can just arrange her there."
"Sister-in-law, this is not a question of where to work, but a question of whether Fengqin's connections can be transferred over."
"Big cities are different from the countryside. For food, water, electricity and coal, everyone has a fixed amount of food, water, electricity and coal per month. If Fengqin's connections can't be transferred, she won't have these things. Without these, how can she live?"
"This... that, let the third brother help to arrange a military attaché..."
"Sister-in-law, the army is very strict now. Only spouses, children, and parents can follow the army. Xiaolan was transferred there because of the Long March, so she was allowed to follow the army as an exception. It would be impossible to do so now. Fengqin is a niece whose parents are still alive, so it is even more impossible."
Liu Yuzhi was speechless for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Then don't follow the army, and let Fengqin buy food on the black market."
How much food can a little girl eat in a month? Even if she is forced to die, she can only eat about ten pounds, and five yuan a month is the maximum.
"What about water, electricity and gas? If I buy everything outside the plan, I'm afraid that one month's salary won't be enough to support myself."
Liu Yuzhi almost blurted out, "As uncles and aunts, do you have to calculate all these things so clearly with your niece?" Fortunately, she held back.
"These are just secondary. Those who have not applied for military service cannot live in the family compound for a long time, and the troops will send them back. Where will Fengqin live then? It's not good to let her live with my parents, right?"
"Besides, my father has resigned now, and the school house has been taken back. It's really inconvenient for her to live with my mother at my uncle's place now."
"This... isn't it said that An An and Le Le have become godparents with the leader? Can't we find someone to make an exception and arrange for them to become military service members?" "
Sister-in-law, the leader is the most fair. Just because the two children have become godparents with him, Chang Zheng's promotion has been suppressed for a long time. He will not make exceptions for such things that violate the rules and regulations. If we do it, it may anger him, and the godparent relationship between him and the two children may end thereafter."
"Sister-in-law, we are both mothers. You should consider your children, and I should also consider my children. I will not do anything that will harm the future of my children."
"If you can think of a way to get her relationship back, I can talk to my dad and ask him to arrange a job for Fengqin in the groceries. Otherwise, I can't do anything."
