Chapter 441 Extra: Villagers Working 2

Two days after Lu Qing'an made the call, Lu Guoping also called Su Mo.

He also wanted to go to Guangzhou to work, and asked Su Mo if it was convenient to arrange it. The people Lu Qing'an recruited this time were all young guys, and there were no middle-aged people like him in his thirties.

Lu Guoping wanted to come over, and Su Mo naturally agreed.

Lu Guoping had a good relationship with Lu Changzheng, and he helped Su Mo a lot when Su Mo was in Lujia Village. Su Mo remembered all this, and planned to help him when she had the ability.

Two years ago, Su Mo asked Lu Changzheng to tell Lu Guoping that if he wanted to go to Guangdong Province to work and earn money, he could contact her at any time.

But at that time, Lu Guoping's mother's health was already very poor, and it was only in those two years. Lu Guoping did not think about going out to make money, but just wanted to be filial to his mother.

At the end of last year, his mother did not survive and passed away.

Now seeing that the villagers were going to Guangdong Province, Lu Guoping also had the idea to take the opportunity to go out for a few years and save some money.

Lu Guoping's eldest son is one year older than An An Le Le, and now he is in junior high school. His grades are not bad, and he should be able to get into high school. The two younger ones are also in elementary school. It is not small to have three children studying.

If they work hard and get into college, it will cost a lot of money.

Although the government now covers the tuition fees for college students and provides food subsidies, he heard from other families in the village whose children are in college that the food subsidies provided by the school are not enough, and the family still needs to subsidize them, otherwise the children will not have enough to eat.

What's more, they have to buy daily necessities and school supplies. It will cost one or two hundred yuan a year.

Moreover, he heard that in a few years, the government may no longer cover the tuition fees for college. There are more and more college students every year, and money is not as expensive as before.

He has to make plans first, while he is young and can still work hard, go out and work for a few years and save some money. If the tuition fees are really not covered in the future, the three boys can continue to study, and he will not be without money.

Besides, even if his three boys don't study, they will have a lot of money to get married in the future.

Not only Lu Guoping wanted to go to Guangdong, but also Lu Xingjun and Lu Weiguo were somewhat tempted.

That day, after dinner, while watching TV, Lu Xingjun asked, "Dad, what do you think about us going to Guangzhou to work?"

Although Lu Xingjun was an employee of the credit station, it was the most subordinate township unit after all, and his salary was not high, only more than 80 yuan, and Liu Yuzhi's salary was even lower, only more than 50 yuan.

The salary of the couple added up was not as good as that of an ordinary female worker in a garment factory in Guangdong.

Lu Weiguo also spoke up: "Yes, Dad, if my third brother's wife can arrange for me to go, I would also like to go."

After the commune was abolished last year, the timber factory that previously belonged to the commune was in an awkward position, and the machinery was old and the efficiency was not so good in recent years. There were rumors two months ago that it might be sold to a private person.

Lu Weiguo had already climbed to the position of deputy factory director two years ago. If it was really privatized, they, the factory cadres, would probably be the first to be replaced.

Moreover, although he was the deputy factory director, his salary was only a little over 100 yuan. It would be better for him to go to Guangdong Province to be a construction worker.

Lu Qing'an glanced at them and said, "Those young men are going to work on the construction site. You have been used to having an idle job in recent years. Are you sure you can still do it? It takes a lot of strength."

"The temperature in Guangdong is no higher than here. In the summer, it's 30 or 40 degrees Celsius and the sun is very strong. If you work outside for a whole day, your skin will be sunburned."

Lu Xingjun sneered. He was in his forties and it might be okay for him to do such hard work for a few days occasionally, but he might not be able to stand it for a long time.

"Aren't there other jobs? Or you can sell buns like you and your grandfather."

Before, Lu Qing'an and Lu Boying helped sell things at the Su's Food Store. Su Tingqian naturally would not take advantage of them and paid them. The two of them received a basic salary plus commission, and they could receive a salary of 150 or 160 yuan per month.

They talked about it at home after they came back, and Lu Xingjun and the others were also aware of it.

"Before we came back, the bun shop had already hired people. Besides, we don't understand Cantonese, and it will affect the business if we work in the store." Lu Qing'an said.

"Besides, the prices in Guangzhou are high. Don't underestimate the monthly salary of 150 or 160 yuan. After deducting the food, clothing, housing and daily necessities, the remaining amount may not be as much as what you save in your hometown."

Lu Qingan said, and calculated the rent, water, electricity, gas, and food and daily necessities. After calculating, it is really not as much as what they saved in their hometown.

At home, there is no rent, you don't have to buy food and vegetables, and you don't have to pay for water and firewood. The expenses are nothing more than electricity bills and occasional meat and daily necessities, which don't cost much.

"Your father is right." Lu Bo Ming also spoke up. "Although the salary in Guangdong Province is high, it is private after all and not that stable. Since you have a proper job, just work hard. The country now has a retirement policy. When you reach retirement age, you can get a retirement salary."

"If you think the salary is low, you can do some side jobs to supplement it. Although our Qingxi County cannot compare with Guangdong Province, it has not been without development in recent years. If you really have ideas, you can still make some money. There is no need to go so far away."

If they really have the ability, Lu Bo Ming would be happy for them to go out and try their luck. After all, there are many people from good units in big cities who start their own businesses.

But the eldest and second grandsons have average abilities and are not very determined. It might be okay for them to do something in their hometown, but if they go to Guangzhou, they might be dazzled by the prosperity there and get involved in some bad things, which would cause trouble for the third son.

"I think the second son's wife is pretty good. They have been doing well over the years. You can try to find a sideline job, or ask Xiaomo for her advice."

When Lu Guihua heard Lu Boming talking about her, she was flattered and said quickly, "Yes, more people are willing to buy food outside in the past two years, and business has indeed improved a lot."

The food business run by Lu Guihua and her two siblings has been doing well over the years. Last year, they opened a store in the county. Usually, Lu Guihua and Lu Meihua look after the store, while Lu Fubao still rides his bicycle to go around the streets.

In the past few years, the business was not so good, but each of the three siblings could get 60 or 70 yuan a month, which was not worse than working. Since last year, the business has been good. Every month, each person can get more than 100 yuan. In the past few months, it has increased again, and almost everyone can get 200 yuan.

But with a mother like Zhao Jiuxiang at home, the three siblings dare not say how much money they have made, and only say to others that they can barely make a living.

"Look around, you can find a good way to make a living at home. We still have fields at home. If you all run away, who will farm these fields?" Lu Qingan also said. The salary at home is not high, but the work is leisurely, and it does not interfere with farming.

Lu Xingjun and Lu Weiguo were only somewhat tempted at first, but had not made up their minds. Now that they heard what their father and grandfather said, they felt that it made sense, so they gave up the idea.

Although their salary is not as high as outside, it is still acceptable at home. They can see if they can do some side jobs to supplement their income. Since they also farm at home, it is not much worse than outside. Although

Liu Yuzhi wanted to go to the clothing factory, she didn't mention it again when she saw that Lu Xingjun had given up the idea.
