"Well, take it slow. The factory actually has enough manpower. You just need to be patient with the new colleagues," Ye Hualan said.
Shen Qiaoyue ate slowly, listening to what they were saying.
He said with a smile, "When I first came here, I didn't know anything and was much worse than them."
“You’re different. You have a talent for this. You’ve been here for half a year and brought a lot of orders to the factory. You can’t compare.” In Ye Hualan’s mind, Shen Qiaoyue was a lucky star. Before Shen Qiaoyue came, she didn’t have to work overtime for several months.
As a result, she started working overtime on her first day of work and is still working overtime now.
There is overtime pay for this; even working two hours of overtime a day can earn you several cents.
If Ye Hualan works overtime, she gets 50 cents for two hours, which is enough to buy seven ounces of pork.
Shen Qiaoyue and Jiang Jinyao never work overtime and have never seen overtime pay.
"No, it's just that the factory's orders increase after a certain period of time. It's not my fault." Shen Qiaoyue dared not take credit. After the start of the year, from March to October is the peak season for orders, and the factory workers basically rely on working overtime during this period to earn money.
For ordinary workers, an hour of overtime pay is only two cents, and two hours of overtime pay is forty cents.
Ten days is four yuan, and if you only work overtime for twenty days a month, the overtime pay is eight yuan a month.
Not much, not little, that's all I can say.
If it's three hours of overtime, that's a different story.
"You know what, there's a subsidy for working overtime. It's two jin of meat coupons and ten jin of grain coupons. When we work overtime, we don't even have time to cook, so we have a lot left over. With the overtime subsidy, we don't need them at all," Zhang Hongying said with emotion.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiaoyue and Jiang Jinyao immediately perked up.
"Hongying, don't you need all those meat and grain coupons now?" Jiang Jinyao swallowed the steamed bun she was holding and asked Zhang Hongying.
Shen Qiaoyue originally wanted to ask as well, but Jiang Jinyao spoke up first.
She was too embarrassed to say anything more.
"Yes, last time I exposed Yang Qingcheng's ugly deeds and got my money and coupons back from her. Now I have a lot of meat coupons and grain coupons. In addition, I usually live in the dormitory. Every month I give my mother five catties of grain coupons and three catties of meat coupons. I keep the rest in my own hands."
Since Zhang Hongying suddenly realized her mistake and outwitted Yang Qingcheng, she seemed to have gained incredible power, accumulating a considerable amount of money and becoming much more confident.
"I'm having my wedding banquet this month, and you don't need them right now. Can I exchange them for some coupons?" Jiang Jinyao was worried about where to find these food coupons and meat coupons.
She had enough money to host a banquet for more than ten tables of people, but she didn't have enough meat coupons and rice coupons.
Zhang Hongying nodded and asked, "How many do you need? I'll trade with you?"
"I need about 20 jin of meat coupons and 30 jin of grain coupons. Do you have any?" Jiang Jinyao asked timidly, afraid that Zhang Hongying might not have enough.
“Okay, I’ll go back to my dorm and get it for you after I eat.” Zhang Hongying agreed without hesitation.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Zhang Hongying in surprise, wondering how much money Yang Qingcheng had embezzled from Zhang Hongying back then.
"By the way, I have a friend in the black market who can help get you some good food. Qiaoyue, aren't you pregnant? If you need eggs during your postpartum period, just let me know and I'll deliver them to the entrance of the family compound." Zhang Hongying looked around and whispered to Shen Qiaoyue.
Shen Qiaoyue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll contact you if I need anything then."
She didn't rush to refuse. During her postpartum period, the military's logistics department should be able to help purchase some eggs and meat.
She was worried that there wouldn't be enough tickets at home when her parents came back, so she was thinking of exchanging some.
It's a big deal for them to get married to Jiang Jinyao, so don't try to take it from them.
After eating, Shen Qiaoyue returned to her office, read for a while, and then thought about taking a nap.
When Jiang Jinyao returned, she said to Shen Qiaoyue, who was about to go to sleep, "Do you also want to exchange for some tickets?"
"I originally intended to, but seeing that you changed, I figured she might not be around anymore, so I didn't say anything," Shen Qiaoyue replied truthfully.
Jiang Jinyao took out a cloth-wrapped item from her pocket and said, "Here you go, I got this for sixteen yuan."
When Shen Qiaoyue opened it, she saw a thick stack of meat coupons and grain coupons.
"If you give it to me, what will you use it for?" Shen Qiaoyue asked Jiang Jinyao.
Jiang Jinyao showed the package she wanted to Shen Qiaoyue.
She whispered, "She bought it from that black market friend. Many families in the factory don't have enough meat coupons and grain coupons, so they have to exchange some with others. Hongying already had a lot of coupons, and I exchanged some back for you. In total, she has about 20 jin of meat coupons and 10 jin of grain coupons. She only has a little bit left for herself."
Shen Qiaoyue happily took it and said, "I'll bring you the money tonight."
"No rush, no rush," Jiang Jinyao said with a smile. "It's only a little over ten yuan."
"Isn't ten yuan a lot of money? It's half a month's salary for someone." Shen Qiaoyue was anxious. These sixteen yuan were Xi Shisheng's monthly salary.
Jiang Jinyao wanted to say that she wasn't short of money; she was quite wealthy now.
However, she didn't say anything, just smiled and went back to her seat to take a nap.
The weather this summer is really hot, but it's definitely much cooler here.
A busy workday passed quickly, and Shen Qiaoyue really didn't expect the day to go by so fast.
After leaving the factory after get off work, I didn't see Lu Chen, but I did see my older brother.
"Come here!" Shen Qiaoyu beckoned to Shen Qiaoyue.
Shen Qiaoyue was very disappointed to see that it wasn't Lu Chen.
"What's wrong? Your brother came to pick you up, are you that sad?" Shen Qiaoyu asked, indignantly, seeing her expression.
Shen Qiaoyue tried to compose herself and said, "No, I'm just surprised. Why did you come to pick me up?"
“Mom and Dad are back. I was busy this afternoon, so Lu Chen took the day off to pick them up. He didn’t have time to pick you up, so I came to pick you up instead.” After saying that, Shen Qiaoyu added, “Mom and Dad wanted to stay in the city, so Lu Chen took your sister-in-law to pick them up. They’ll stay at your sister-in-law’s house tonight. I’m taking you into the city for dinner so you can see Mom and Dad.”
Shen Qiaoyu borrowed a vehicle from the military unit to pick up Shen Qiaoyue.
"Get in the car." Shen Qiaoyu opened the car door for Shen Qiaoyue and complained, "I originally wanted to take the bus, but my boss said that since you are pregnant, I should borrow a car to pick you up."
Shen Qiaoyue smiled and said, "Thank you, my dear brother."
"Hold on tight." Shen Qiaoyu drove the car himself.
Shen Qiaoyue sat in the back, and it took her a little over half an hour to get home.
Arriving at the foot of the courtyard building, Shen Qiaoyue looked up in the direction of her home and knew it was that familiar smell.
She was so excited and eager to see her parents.
"Slow down," Shen Qiaoyu said to Shen Qiaoyue with concern. "Slow down, don't rush."
Shen Qiaoyue arrived on the third floor in one go, and the door was open.
"Mom!" The moment Shen Qiaoyue saw her mother, Chu Wanfang, tears streamed down her face. "Mom!"
Chu Wanfang was sitting on the sofa chatting with Qian Luoshui when she saw Shen Qiaoyue call her. She immediately stood up excitedly and looked at her daughter, who was heavily pregnant.
"Yueyue, my dear daughter!" Chu Wanfang looked at her daughter excitedly, walked over and hugged Shen Qiaoyue.
