In the morning, Grandpa Xia and his friends got up and did some work in the fields. After doing some work, they went to the county.
The two people arrived at the county, found the post office, paid the money, and called the number given by Xia Jin.
They waited until noon but there was still no call. Xia Jin thought that the letter had not been sent yet and he might not receive a call today. Just as they were about to go home, the phone in the store rang.
Xia Jin strode to the table where the phone was placed, picked up the call, and then said, "Grandpa, is that you? Is everything okay at home?"
The phone was picked up after only two or three rings. Hearing his granddaughter's voice across the line, Grandpa Xia said happily, "Xiao Jin, it's Grandpa. Everything is fine. You don't have to worry about home."
"Is what you wrote in the letter true? You asked us to call you. We didn't bother you, did we?"
Xia Jin smiled and said on the other end: "No, it didn't bother me. That thing is true. I just happened to know someone who is rich and powerful."
"So I provided the ingredients and technology, he provided the money, and that's how the two of us built a factory."
"And it's almost finished, right? We need to recruit people, and I thought about the abundance of people in our village, so I asked for a few spots for you."
"This way everyone can earn some money, and your life in the village will be more comfortable. By then they will all work in my factory, so who would dare to offend you?"
Grandpa Xia said on the other end, "You don't have to worry about us, but if it's not bad for your factory, you can also take your family with you."
"Tell me what you want."
Hearing her grandfather say this, she smiled and said, "Grandpa, we want all the women we have, and then we want fifty women and fifty men, a total of one hundred people."
After fighting for a while, Xia Yanbing also talked to Grandpa Xia for a while, but Grandpa Xia was preoccupied with Xia Jin's recruitment, so he didn't really listen to what he said.
Father Xia wanted to say something, but before he could, his father hung up on him. He looked at his father who was smiling happily and said:
"Dad, what did Xiaojin say? And why did you hang up the phone so quickly? I still want to say a few words to her."
"Why fight? It's a waste of money."
"That's my daughter. By the way, what did Dad say about the job search? I only heard you say it just now, but I didn't catch what she said clearly."
Grandpa Xia smiled from ear to ear and said, "It's true. Xiao Jin said he wants a hundred people. The factory is in Beijing. They said they provide food and accommodation, and they will pay a lot of wages every month."
"Xiao Jin has entrusted us with such an important task this time. We must complete it beautifully and not let her down."
"And Xiaojin is still thinking about us. Out of the 100 people, she gave 30 spots to our family. My granddaughter is indeed promising. She has already found 100 people from our group. How big must her factory be?"
When Father Xia heard what his father said, he said happily, "Then let's go home quickly and tell the people in the village, and also tell the child's aunt."
Grandpa Xia said as he walked: "Xiao Jin said she wanted a hundred, where can I find so many for her..."
His tone was distressed, but the smile on his face didn't indicate that at all.
They didn't know that after they left, the post office worker kept looking at them in a daze, waiting for her colleague to come over and see him like this, and said with some confusion:
"Dachun, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking outside the door?"
Dachun said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "The old man who just called said that his granddaughter wants to recruit workers. She wants 100 people, and she wants to go to Beijing."
"Really? Why do you need so much?" None of them had the ability to arrange work for their family members. The old man's granddaughter was so capable, there was really no comparison.
"I didn't hear it clearly. I think she was the one who made the food. I heard her say that hygiene must be maintained."
"A food factory, what a great place. That old man's family is quite powerful."
Food factories are great places. Not to mention that you might be able to take some defective products home, but during festivals, the gifts given out are also very enviable.
"Yes, you have the ability. Otherwise, we would need a hundred people. Without the ability, how could you accomplish such a thing?"
"A hundred or so? You must have heard it wrong. This lie can't be made more decent. Seriously, I thought it was true, but it turns out it was just bragging."
“…”
"Why don't you make your bragging more real and decent?" The villagers of Xiajiadianzi Village also said.
It turned out that after Grandpa Xia heard what Xia Jin said, he knew that they needed it urgently and there were some trainings, so he announced the news as soon as he came back.
It was time to prepare for work, and everyone was walking out of their homes to the fields. When they saw Grandpa Xia and the others coming back, they all asked him where he had been.
When I told them I was going to make a phone call, they all thought it was something important that required a phone call. It was said that the phone call fee was very expensive, at least a few cents, and several dollars if the person was far away.
It must be so important to pass on a message so expensive. So when everyone heard his answer, they all stopped and looked at him.
Among these people, Xia Yanwen knew the inside story yesterday. He walked through the crowd and said, "Third Grandpa, is it about that incident yesterday? Is it true?"
Xia Pinliang followed behind and said, "What's the matter? You were so happy yesterday and didn't tell us."
"Yeah, Uncle Pinshan is such a good guy, tell everyone about it, and make everyone happy."
Why do you say it must be a good thing? Isn't that nonsense? The smile on Grandpa Xia's face has never faded. If it was a bad thing, would he smile so happily?
So it must be a good thing, that's why everyone started to urge him to talk about it. They all wanted to know what good things Xia Jin, the capable man from the Xia family, had done.
Sometimes the people in the village have to be a little tough on the outside, but everyone is very envious in their hearts. They don’t have the ability to accomplish anything big, but it’s okay to gain some experience, and then they will have something to brag about when they go out.
Grandpa Xia smiled and said, "That's a good thing."
I originally wanted to be reserved, but I really couldn't help it. There were a hundred people here. If Xia Jin wasn't my granddaughter, I wouldn't believe this.
"What good news?"
"This child is really promising. He buys so many things for you and thinks of you when something good happens."
The people in the village all flattered him and said nice things, but at this time they would not have thought that what Grandpa Xia was going to say would be related to them.
