"I arrived in town yesterday afternoon, and it was already evening when I returned to the village..."
The brother and sister stood affectionately in the corridor, as if they had endless things to say. Huang Qingning in the room turned around and whispered to Yun Mo, "My brother is partial. As long as my sister is around, he ignores me."
Yun Mo rubbed the other person's head with amusement, "Nonsense, if Brother Xiaoyu didn't love you, would he buy you a small flower umbrella and a skirt to wear?"
Huang Qingning was not convinced, "He bought it because I forced him to."
"If he doesn't love you, it's useless even if you force him."
"If he dares not buy it for me, I will bother him every day!"
"You, just rely on Brother Xiaoyu to spoil you."
Huang Qingning chuckled twice, "After all, he is my brother."
Yun Mo nodded the other person's head, "But I have to remind you, Xiaoyu is not married now, so it's okay for you to make trouble for him, but you can't do this when you have a sister-in-law in the future. You have to have a sense of propriety."
Huang Qingning nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, cousin, I understand."
Yun Mo suddenly thought of something and asked Huang Qingning in a low voice, "By the way, have you met your brother's ex-girlfriend?"
“Yes.”
"What about the person? I mean personality and character."
Huang Qingning thought for a moment, "She looks okay, but I've only met her twice. Once, the matchmaker brought her home to meet my brother, and the second time was to discuss the betrothal gift. I didn't say a few words to her in total."
Yun Mo nodded to show that she understood.
The lunch was particularly sumptuous, with a plate each of cured meat, cured chicken and cured duck, and a large pot of stewed goose meat.
Yun Mo actually didn’t like goose meat very much. When she thought that the stewed goose might be the sister or brother of Dabai and Erbai, she didn’t want to eat it even more. She only ate some cured chicken and vegetables.
After dinner, Huang Qingning and Yang Jiayong sat for a while and prepared to go back.
Liu Zhi hurriedly took out cured meat, cured chicken, cured duck, a small jar of sweet wine, a dozen goose eggs, and the cloth and sugar that Yun Mo had brought back from Jiang City, filled two large bags with them, and asked the couple to take them back.
"Thank you, Mom. Qingning and I will go back first. We have to visit other relatives in the afternoon."
Seeing so many things prepared by Liu Zhi, Yang Jiayong smiled especially happily.
"Jiayong, come back and visit more often when you have time."
"Yeah, okay!"
Yang Jiayong cast his gaze towards Huang Qingning who was standing beside him. "Qingning, come and play with us when you have time."
"Got it, brother-in-law."
Yang Jiayong looked at Yun Mo who was next to Huang Qingning, "Momo, you come too."
Yun Mo held Ling Chuan's arm and said with a smile, "Okay, cousin-in-law, we will definitely go when we are free."
"Haha, okay."
After seeing Huang Qinghe and Yang Jiayong off, Yun Mo stretched and prepared to go back for a nap, but not far away, a few middle-aged men and women with unfamiliar faces walked towards her.
The Huang family's home is located at the innermost part of the village. People who take this path are either going to work in the fields or heading to the Huang family's home.
It is winter now and there is no work in the fields. The other party is obviously coming towards the Huang family.
Huang Jianjun nodded hurriedly, "Yes, this is it, come in and talk."
While Huang Jianjun and Huang Zhiqiu were greeting those people, Yun Mo returned to the room as quickly as possible, took out a notebook and a ruler, and planned to make a few registration forms for job applicants.
After writing the sign in the morning, she was planning to make the registration form, but she got so engrossed in chatting with sisters Huang Qinghe and Huang Qingning that she forgot about it.
Fortunately, the bamboo weaving factory does not have many requirements for workers. They only need to be under 50 years old, in good health, of good conduct and with no criminal record. They only need to have a basic understanding of bamboo weaving. The forms are also simple and can be completed quickly.
“Can everyone fill out the form?”
Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Yun Mo simply moved a table in the yard and registered the applicants one by one according to the qualifications required on the registration form.
Name, age, gender, place of origin, physical condition, bamboo weaving experience, etc.
"Uncles and aunts, I have registered your personal information here. Please come over at 10 am on the second day of the Chinese New Year to listen to the recruitment results."
Someone asked, "How much is the monthly wage in your bamboo weaving factory?"
Another person said: "If the salary is too low, I won't go. I used to work in a cotton mill and I could earn 25 yuan a month."
Yun Mo explained: "First of all, all employees in our bamboo weaving factory are provided with food and accommodation. As for wages, they are composed of three parts: fixed salary plus piecework wages, plus bonuses.
The fixed salary is 15 yuan, and the piece-rate wage is determined by the amount of bamboo weaving you complete each month.
For example, our order this time is to make rice dumpling boxes. If we complete a rice dumpling box according to the quality and quantity, we can get a piece-rate wage of 0.1 cent.
Finally, there are bonuses. We set the task for employees to complete at least 60 rice dumpling boxes every month.
If you complete the monthly task in quality and quantity, you can get a bonus of 5 yuan. If you exceed the target, the bonus will increase accordingly. For every 10 rice dumpling boxes completed in excess, the bonus will increase by 1 yuan.
If you fail to complete the task, you will not get any bonus, and you can only get a fixed salary and piecework wages. "
Someone quickly did the math.
If you can complete the task of making 60 rice dumpling boxes every month, the fixed salary will be 15 yuan + piecework wage of 6 yuan + bonus of 5 yuan, which is 26 yuan.
Food is provided, and I can make two rice dumpling boxes a day, which means 26 yuan a month, which seems not bad.
Someone else asked, "What if I can make 100 rice dumpling boxes in a month?"
"Then the piecework wage is 10 yuan. If the 100 rice dumpling boxes you made can meet the requirements, the bonus is 9 yuan. All in all, you can get 34 yuan a month."
Only 34 yuan a month, wouldn't that be 400 yuan a year? The key is that food and accommodation are provided, so there is not much expense, which is not worse than working outside.
These middle-aged people are illiterate and too old to be employed by factories outside, so many of them can only do hard labor on construction sites.
If you encounter an unscrupulous contractor, you may work hard for a year but not get a penny.
“Are wages paid every month?”
"Yes, the wages for the previous month are paid on the 15th of every month."
Yun Mo looked at everyone with a smile, "In addition to free food, accommodation and wages, our benefits also include festival gifts. During the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, our factory will prepare gifts for each employee.
In addition, every month a birthday party will be held for employees who have birthdays that month. The cost will be paid by the factory, and each birthday person will receive a small gift. "
What? The factory is going to celebrate every employee's birthday? And they're going to prepare small gifts for them? (End of this chapter)
