Chapter 564 He and his second son received the most scolding.
Then, the technician slammed his fist on the door frame angrily: "These are my demands. If you don't agree, then we'll go to the neighborhood committee. I've already lost face once today, so I don't care if it happens a second time."
Old Bai glared angrily at his eldest son, who seemed like a completely different person.
You want to go to the neighborhood committee office, but I don't want to.
That factory manager Lu has a mouth as sharp as a knife; I don't want to hear it again.
Looking back now, he and his second son received the most scolding during that nearly one hour.
Thinking about the next residents' meeting, Old Bai and Old Bai said, "Take out a thousand yuan."
The old woman jumped up with a loud cry: "Where would I get a thousand yuan? Why should I give him a thousand yuan?"
"Just take it if I tell you to, shut him up and make him pay back the money he borrowed from the leader."
If Lu Qiaoge were to go out and spread the word, and her son's boss found out, it would be even more embarrassing.
"That's too much. That's our retirement money," Old Bai disagreed.
The young man in white over there had slightly red eyes, thinking to himself, "How wonderful it would be if all this money were for me."
However, remembering what Lu Qiaoge had just said, he immediately became obedient and sat quietly to the side.
So, Technician Bai did receive 1,000 yuan, which he then handed over to Wang Xiuxian.
Let her save it for her child's education.
He even secretly told her, "I didn't borrow money from Chief Engineer Li. Now my parents have money, and my younger brother is earning money too. We're not going to worry about anyone else now..."
Wang Xiuxian looked at her husband thoughtfully. The technician, Bai, forced a smile at her, but said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm sorry."
Wang Xiuxian didn't speak, but her gaze was somewhat complicated. She wasn't stupid. Her husband's family wasn't good, but he was good to her and the children. He didn't smoke or drink, and he never kept any of his bonuses for himself, giving them all to her to manage.
She said she had no money, and he wouldn't question her like some shameless men do, asking where the money went and how she could be broke.
Society is very lenient towards men, but it is really too harsh on women.
When she tells her family about her troubles, they advise her that every family has its own problems, but you just don't know them unless others tell you.
Regardless, Bai Guobin is a family man with a good temper and is well-liked at work. Even if they are divorced, it's fine if he doesn't want her anymore. If he really wants to find someone else, he will likely face the same problem unless he finds an orphan.
Anyway, that's just how life is.
Especially after having children.
So society really has very low expectations of men.
Wang Xiuxian sighed, glared at Bai Guobin, and then reached out to take the money.
It was really unexpected; I got it so easily.
Then keep it. Why shouldn't you take it?
This was originally her money!
——
On Saturday evening, in the auditorium, Lao Hu and Deputy Director Huang sat down in front of the stage.
The following are the residents' representatives.
It was also packed with people.
This is because they will also be announcing the establishment of a service team in Xiangyang Subdistrict.
This time, we don't necessarily want to recruit young people; anyone who is physically fit and has a skill is welcome.
Of course, there are age restrictions as well.
The current retirement age is 50 for female workers and 60 for male workers.
The age requirement for recruitment must be below this level.
The service team's motto is service. You don't need to clock in, but they will notify you when there is work to be done. You are paid according to the hours completed, and it is settled monthly. You have a high degree of freedom.
Old Hu first summarized the recent work, praising some and criticizing others.
The elderly Mrs. Li and the white-haired man sitting in front seemed to feel that many people were watching them, and they kept chuckling as they watched.
If Lao Hu hadn't put on a cold face, who knows how much these people would have laughed.
After criticizing several typical cases, including Mrs. Li and Old Bai, Lao Hu finished his critique.
Mrs. Li repeatedly stated that she would never interfere in her children's families again. Old Bai Tou said he was confused, as his eldest son and daughter-in-law were very filial, especially his eldest daughter-in-law, who was good to them, her sister-in-law, and her brother-in-law. She was truly a daughter-in-law that was hard to find even with a lantern.
Bai Guocheng, sitting in the back, kept his head down and dared not utter a sound.
He could hear people behind him scoffing at his hushed chirping of crickets.
"That's him, isn't it? He's truly a hopeless case."
"Yes, he doesn't appreciate the good conditions we've created for him. He even thinks it's his elder brother and sister-in-law's duty to take care of him."
"This piece of junk can't stand up at all. You're counting on him to support your family?"
"Yes, whoever marries him will be unlucky."
"Oh, you can't say that. This conference of ours is so meaningful, he must have learned something."
"A good comrade is one who admits his mistakes and corrects them. We should give young people a chance."
"Yes, yes, if it's fixed, I'll introduce him to someone, I guarantee he'll be satisfied."
The murmurs that followed rose and fell.
Old Hu slammed his hand on the table: "Alright, alright, everyone stop talking. I'll talk about the service team."
Everyone loves listening to this and cares about it a lot.
This was organized by the Xiangyang Subdistrict Office.
Over the past year, the various activities organized by the subdistrict office and the enterprises established there have been remarkable achievements.
For example, food factories. Many of you here have people working in food factories.
It is said that the third wave of recruitment is about to begin.
Finding a job was very easy in the early days of 2016.
After the population explosion, finding a job became extremely difficult, forcing many people to go to the countryside as educated youth.
But now, as long as you pass the screening, it's not difficult to get a job at all.
This service team sounds interesting.
Someone asked Lao Hu, "Director Hu, could you tell us the specifics? I don't quite understand."
Old Hu said, "Let me give you an example. We're about to hold a large-scale trade fair for goods, which will last for seven days. During this time, we need to set up some simple sheds, but do you know what our construction team is doing?"
This time, everyone said in unison, "Of course we know, they're building houses for us!"
The people in the auditorium were very enthusiastic, and no one was unhappy when this topic was mentioned.
"Yes, we can't let them abandon their houses and do this, so we'll use spare labor to do it."
We calculate your wages on a daily or hourly basis. Even if you only earn 50 cents this month, we will still put it on your payroll and pay you on the same day as our workers.
Based on the temporary workers' compensation, if our service team operates well, outstanding temporary workers might even have the opportunity to become permanent employees... After the meeting, anyone interested should sign up.
There were a lot of people signing up.
Some were skilled in carpentry, some were bricklayers, some were skilled in tailoring and embroidery, and some even claimed to be excellent cooks who had prepared large banquets for people in the countryside…
The street office staff spent half an hour registering the information before it was finally done.
More than a thousand people signed up.
They really come from all walks of life.
Old Hu remarked with emotion, "Our Xiangyang Subdistrict is truly a place where many talented people emerge."
