Chapter 440 Extra: Villagers Working

In the first few days after the three elders returned to the village, the Lu family was crowded with people all day long, who came to listen to their experiences in Guangdong Province.

Guangdong Province is a legendary place for the villagers of Lujia Village. Going there feels like going abroad. It is a place that can only be seen in the news and newspapers.

The villagers are curious, and the three elders did not hide anything. They told them what they had seen and heard recently, especially focusing on the economy of Guangdong Province.

There are many high-rise buildings there, there are cars everywhere, there are many commodities that Qingxi County does not have, and there are a lot of people there, many of whom come from other places to work in Guangdong Province to make money.

When the villagers heard that in Guangdong, an ordinary female garment factory worker could earn 100 to 200 yuan a month, and a construction worker could earn 300 to 400 yuan, they were all stunned.

The land in Lujia Village is good, and the income of the farmers here is relatively good. After the land was distributed to households, even a family with a lot of labor and hard work could only earn a thousand yuan a year, which is not as good as the three or four months' salary of an ordinary worker in Guangdong.

Not to mention farmers, even workers, the salary is far lower than that in Guangdong. Some people in the village have relatives working in the county factory, and they know the approximate salary level. The monthly salary of workers here is only more than 70 yuan, and only leaders can earn more than 100 yuan.

[In 1985, the average annual wage of employees nationwide was 1,148 yuan, and the average monthly wage was 96 yuan.]

Some smart people began to think about it.

Within a few days, several families came to Lu Qing'an and said that they wanted their children to work in Guangdong Province, and asked Lu Qing'an if he could play a role in letting their children go to the Su family's factory.

In recent years, Su Mo has done a lot of charity in Qingxi County in the name of the Su family. People in Lujia Village know that Su Mo's family business is quite big. It's easy

to make money in Guangdong Province, so there must be a lot of people going there. If they go there for trade, and can't find a job there, and then come back, wouldn't it be a waste of round-trip travel expenses?

The travel expenses are one thing, but the biggest worry is that something might happen there, and they might not only not make any money, but also die.

But if the in-laws of the branch secretary are willing to take these people in, then it will be safe, and they won't have to worry about the safety of their children.

Lu Qing'an didn't dare to agree, but he remembered that before he came back, he heard from his in-laws that they would continue to recruit people this year, so he called Su Mo.

Lu Qing'an has been the branch secretary for so many years, and the responsibility of seeking development for the village is almost engraved in his bones. He has been in Yangcheng for a few months, and he has become more and more aware of the difficulties of farmers. It is so difficult to make money.

It is not easy to live a good life by relying on the few dollars dug from the fields all year round, and at most raising one or two pigs.

If young people can go out to work, earn money for a few years, and then come back to start a family, their lives will be much better.

Therefore, if he can help, he still wants to try to help.

The pace of reform and opening up has accelerated in the past two years, and the expansion speed of Su's company has also accelerated. The clothing factory and construction company have been recruiting people continuously in the past two years.

Su Mo had thought about whether to recruit some people from Lujia Village.

But then she thought that if she took the initiative to recruit people and if they wanted to come, the responsibilities she would have to bear were different, so she gave up the idea of ​​taking the initiative to recruit. But if someone in the village wanted to come to work, she would be happy to accept them.

After all, it doesn't matter who you recruit. If you recruit people from the village, you can sell yourself well in front of the villagers.

So, after receiving Lu Qingan's call, Su Mo agreed immediately.

Lu Qingan, on the other hand, was a little worried that Su Mo agreed so quickly because she was doing it for his sake. After all, it was the first time for him, as a father-in-law, to speak to her.

"Xiao Mo, you don't have to worry about anything. Dad is no longer the party secretary, and he has no responsibilities to the villagers. You should only recruit these people if you can really use them. If not, don't recruit them, or they will cause trouble for you later."

Su Mo smiled, "It's okay, Dad. We have to recruit people anyway. They are from the same village, so you should help them if you can."

"But, Dad, you have to make things clear to them first. If they want to come to work in my factory, they can. But they must abide by the company's rules and regulations, and don't think that they have any privileges just because they are from the same village."

Su Mo thought that she should say the ugly words in advance, so that they would not have too high expectations and cause trouble.

"Also, if they have just come here and have no experience, their salary will definitely not be as high as that of the old employees, but when they become experienced, their salary will also increase."

"For the sake of being fellow villagers, the factory can provide them with food and accommodation, but they have to charge a corresponding fee, about 20 yuan per month." "In

the clothing factory, the basic salary for apprentices is 60 yuan/month. After graduation, the salary is calculated as basic salary + piece-rate commission. For the old employees in the factory, a monthly salary of about 150 yuan is no problem. Some fast workers can also make 200 yuan a month." "

For construction workers, the daily salary varies from 6 to 15 yuan, depending on the type of work. Construction workers are paid more, but they have to work hard, the work is relatively hard, and the work location is not fixed. They are sent wherever there is work."

"Also, people who come here must have an ID card. Those without an ID card will not be accepted."

Lu Qing'an wrote down everything Su Mo said.

"Xiao Mo, how many people do you think are needed?" Lu Qing'an asked. With such good conditions, I'm afraid all the young ladies and boys in the village will rush to go.

"We need 20 to 30 people each. Dad, please check them for me. Those who are cunning and sly will not be accepted."

"Okay, don't worry, Dad will check them for you." Lu Qing'an agreed solemnly.

After returning home, Lu Qing'an discussed it with Lu Boying. In the afternoon, Lu Qing'an went to find Lu Baoguo and told the village about it. He also wrote a big-character poster with the conditions and posted it on the village's propaganda column.

As Lu Qing'an expected, after seeing this, the villagers, as long as there were girls or boys who could work outside, would bring them to sign up.

There were especially many girls, and rural areas were more patriarchal. Boys might not be willing to go out to work hard, but girls would have no regrets.

With food and accommodation provided and a salary of more than 100 yuan per month, who wouldn't want to go? In Qingxi County, this was a treatment only available to leaders.

Lu Boying and Lu Qing'an first imitated the recruitment of workers by the factories in the county, and conducted a cultural assessment. The remaining people were screened one by one, and those who were lazy and cunning at work were not accepted, those who were difficult to deal with at home, and those who were gossipy and liked to stir up trouble were not accepted.

After a round of screening, there were only about ten men and women left, all of whom were honest and hardworking young men and women in the village.

It was the first time to send young people from the village to work outside, and they represented the reputation of their Lujia Village. They had to be selected carefully so as not to leave a bad impression on their in-laws.
