By the time Yun Mo washed her face and went downstairs, the Huang family had finished their breakfast.
Huang Zhiqiu brought the remaining food in the pot to the table for the two of them and then went to work.
Lingchuan eats quickly and finishes a big bowl of porridge in just a few gulps.
"Help me eat something."
Yun Mo had eaten too much meat and fish in the past two days and had no appetite. Seeing that Ling Chuan had finished eating, she poured half of the porridge in her bowl to him.
Ling Chuan accepted all the porridge offered to him and finished it in just a few gulps. Yun Mo poured half a bowl of porridge for him, then he got up and went to the kitchen with the empty bowl.
Yun Mo continued to eat slowly and calmly.
"cousin."
Huang Qingning came in and approached Yun Mo with a smirk on his face.
Yun Mo reached out and pushed the other person's face away, "Stay away from me."
"Why? Do I smell bad?"
Huang Qingning lowered his head and sniffed his body.
"Your smile is too vulgar. It affects my appetite."
"Oh, I thought I smelled like shit when I took a shit just now."
Yun Mo: “…”
Okay, I can’t eat this meal anymore.
Faced with Yun Mo's death stare, Huang Qingning quickly changed the subject to save his life, "Cousin, I have a question for you."
Yun Mo got up and left.
Huang Qingning quickly chased after her, "Cousin, are you angry? I'm sorry, I promise I will never talk about shitting while you're eating..."
Yun Mo glared at him and Huang Qingning immediately covered his mouth.
Yun Mo snorted, "Let's go."
"Where are you going? Going out to play?"
Yun Mo generously rewarded the other party with a popcorn, "What the hell are you kidding? Don't you want to ask me a question?"
"Oh. But today is only the second day of the Chinese New Year. There is a temple fair in the town. It is very lively. There are also people selling sugar paintings. Cousin, don't you want to go and take a look?"
"In no mood."
Seeing Huang Qingning's depressed face, Yun Mo pinched his face helplessly.
"Tomorrow I will go to the city to take care of the bamboo weaving factory. I will take advantage of the time now to teach you a few more questions. There will be plenty of time to watch the temple fair in the future. I will take you to the capital to watch the annual meeting and various lantern festivals. Those are more than a hundred times more exciting and lively than the temple fair in Liu'an Town."
Huang Qingning nodded quickly, "Okay."
After Yun Mo finished explaining the question, Huang Qingning remembered what she had wanted to ask Yun Mo before.
"Cousin, what were you and your cousin-in-law doing upstairs this morning?"
Yun Mo was a little confused, "I didn't do anything."
"I don't believe it."
Yun Mo finally came to her senses. The man had a smirk on his face before because he misunderstood what she and Ling Chuan did upstairs. Yun Mo poked the man's forehead helplessly, "Tell me what kind of dirty crap is in your little head all day long."
"It's not my fault. It was my aunt who stopped me from going up to you. You didn't do anything, so why did my aunt stop me?"
Yun Mo rubbed her forehead helplessly.
Forget it, let everyone think whatever they want.
Anyway, she and Ling Chuan were not that innocent.
However, seeing the teasing and smirk on Huang Qingning's face, Yun Mo readily used her "ultimate weapon".
"Do this problem for me."
Huang Qingning stopped laughing immediately.
—
After a while, the Huang family's house was packed with people, and even the road to the door was blocked.
Yun Mo had not considered in advance that the number of applicants would be several times more than she expected.
Finally, after obtaining the consent of the village chief, Yun Mo took the people to the village threshing ground.
The threshing ground is half the size of a football field, more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
At around 10 o'clock, seeing that most people had arrived, Yun Mo asked Chen Bin to read out the names on the recruitment list, which had a total of 80 places.
According to the construction period and daily production volume, the bamboo weaving factory needs about 70 bamboo weaving workers.
Before they officially start work, she plans to give all workers a physical examination. This step is expected to eliminate some people with health problems, so 10 extra places are reserved.
As Yunmo expected, those villagers who were not selected were dissatisfied and clamored for an explanation.
Chen Bin explained everything according to the words given by Yun Mo, and the Huang family also helped to comfort him.
It took more than an hour to persuade the villagers who were not hired to leave.
Hearing that Chen Bin's voice was hoarse, Yun Mo took a mint candy and gave it to him to moisten his throat. The following segment was handed over to Huang Yu to host.
For a young man in his early 20s, it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous when he spoke in front of so many people for the first time.
Fortunately, Yun Mo had already written the speech in advance, so Huang Yu only needed to read it once.
"First of all, congratulations to everyone on joining the Lu'an Bamboo Weaving Factory family... Please pack your luggage when you go home. Things you need to bring include bedding, such as quilts, sheets, pillows, and then some clothes for changing, personal toiletries, and bowls for eating.
At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, we will gather at the entrance of the town bus station. No one will be waited for after the time comes. When we arrive in the city, we will first settle in the dormitory, and then the factory will arrange for everyone to have a physical examination.
If the results of the physical examination do not meet the standards, the factory will arrange for them to return to the village, or they can stay in the city and find a job on their own.”
As soon as Huang Yu finished speaking, the people below suddenly became noisy.
"What physical examination? Why didn't you tell me about it before?"
"That's right. If they fail the physical examination, they will be sent back. Isn't that a waste of time?"
"Do I have to pay for the physical examination?"
Faced with all kinds of doubts, Huang Yu was a little panicked for a moment.
Yun Mo walked onto the stage and said, "Please be quiet and listen to my explanation."
At first, no one listened to Yun Mo and continued to talk at once. In the end, Ling Chuan went on stage and yelled, which shocked the crowd.
Taking advantage of the silence, Yun Mo immediately explained the reasons and necessity of the physical examination.
When they heard that it was for screening of infectious diseases, the dissatisfaction and doubts immediately disappeared.
Yun Mo took the opportunity to continue, "In order to thank everyone for their trust and support, the cost of this physical examination will be paid by the factory, and you don't have to pay a penny.
But this is only for this time. In the future, new employees who want to join the factory must pay for a physical examination at their own expense. When going through the entry procedures, they must bring a health experience report. This is also a guarantee and maintenance for everyone's physical health and safety."
"good!"
When they heard that they didn't have to pay, everyone applauded enthusiastically.
When Yun Mo and the others returned to the Huang family, it was almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone was tired and hungry.
As soon as the food was served, everyone immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating voraciously.
Before I finished lunch, someone came to the door. She was a young woman with pretty face and petite stature.
"Cousin, this is my brother's ex-girlfriend."
After hearing Huang Qingning's words, Yun Mo immediately stopped eating and hid behind the door with Huang Qingning, eavesdropping.
"Come in and sit for a while."
Seeing that Guo Xuezhen didn't say anything for a long time, Huang Yu scratched his ears embarrassedly.
Guo Xuezhen was even more embarrassed than Huang Yu. Her cheeks were as red as apples on the mountain. She spoke softly, "No, I need your help with something."
