Chapter 54 Busy
That night, after Ye Qian returned to the dormitory, she searched for the old kettle in the space.
Soon, Ye Qian found three of them. She opened the plastic bag and took out the oldest one. After all, the old one was not noticeable.
The kettle was a little dirty, so Ye Qian took it to the sink to clean it so that she could use it directly when she got to the office tomorrow.
When Ye Qian took out the kettle the next day, everyone was indeed very happy.
The most difficult thing this winter is getting hot water. Not only is it cold, but you also have to queue up, and the queue can take a long time.
Although it was usually Ye Qian who fetched water, everyone knew that she was also cold. It was just that Ye Qian's military coat was much warmer than theirs, so no one argued with her when she went to fetch water. Now that they had a kettle and didn't have to go out in the cold to fetch water, everyone was naturally happy.
It is now the end of the month, and the benefits for the factory workers have been distributed. Compared to last year, an extra 5 kilograms of food will be distributed this month.
Because the union did not have enough people, Li Yue was sent down directly this time to assist the union in distributing food.
Ye Qian originally thought that Du Xiaoli would be sent down, because Du Xiaoli always came to help when the union had matters in the past.
Moreover, after studying, Ye Qian also noticed that she and Li Yue met more often, both at work and in life.
Ye Qian also suspected that the factory director had sent Li Yue to monitor her, but then she thought, she was just a small secretary of the union. Why would he monitor her? It was too worrying.
Ye Qian has distributed benefits several times and has experience, so she is not as disorganized as before when doing things.
Ye Qian first sorted out the list of factory personnel, and then verified whether the quantity of grain was correct.
When people arrive, just weigh them and tick them.
This is also a New Year benefit, so there will naturally be more people, so as before, we are divided into two teams.
Ye Qian and Jiang Xia, Chen Xiaoling and Li Yue.
Li Yue had worked in a trade union before and knew all these elderly people, so she quickly integrated into the group.
After the workers arrived, they started their day's work.
No matter what time or what benefits are offered, the first day is always the busiest.
The workers all want the benefits to reach their hands as soon as possible. After all, they will feel more at ease when they have the benefits.
On the first day, the four people were busy until 6 o'clock before they finished. This time, no one even wanted to eat and they were all queuing. It was not until Wang Juan stopped the workers from queuing that they stopped.
It was already dark at 6 o'clock, and there was no time to say hello to the canteen, so the canteen was also off work. Wang Juan, Chen Xiaoling, Jiang Xia, and Li Yue could all go home and eat in the evening.
Ye Qian dropped the order, and told everyone not to worry, she would take care of dinner herself, and everyone went home with peace of mind.
Ye Qian was also extremely tired, so she took out the food from the space as soon as she returned to the dormitory.
I had a bowl of braised pork, a portion of rice, and added two boiled eggs. It still wasn't enough, so I ate a portion of cake and drank a bottle of Coke, and only then did I feel full.
After finishing her meal, Ye Qian lay down directly, feeling so tired that she didn't want to move at all.
After lying down for a while, he struggled to get up, washed up, and then went back to sleep.
The next day was still busy, but there was still time to eat at mealtime.
Things were much better on the third day. When the settlement was made at 3 pm, all the workers had received their wages and the numbers were correct. Now only five people from the union were left.
Everyone rested for a while, got their share of food, and went straight home.
After Ye Qian returned to the dormitory, she put it into the space.
I just finished my work here and started getting busy again without taking a two-day break.
This time it’s a letter of introduction.
With last year's experience, Ye Qian did it smoothly this year.
First, go and get the budget, then take the templates that she used last year to the factory for printing. Last year, Ye Qian deliberately printed a few extra copies, which happened to be used this year.
A few days later, the printed template was delivered to the grain factory. Ye Qian was busy these days, sorting out the factory's personnel list, writing and ticking each one as the time came, just like last year.
After preparing these, Ye Qian became busy again. There were thousands of workers, and even if some of them were not needed, the remaining number would still be considerable.
It took Ye Qian five days to complete the work.
There were only two days left before the annual holiday. Seeing that Ye Qian had finally finished, the three people from the union finally spoke.
Yes, the three of them wanted Ye Qian to help buy some supplies so that they could have a better New Year.
Ye Qian was leaning in her chair and drinking boiled water leisurely when Wang Juan walked in.
He asked Ye Qian, "Xiao Ye, can you still get supplies?"
Ye Qian was confused by this sudden question. It was not Ye Qian's fault. Since the last time she sold supplies, no one had looked for Ye Qian again, so Ye Qian simply forgot that she had sold anything in the office.
Ye Qian was stunned for a moment before she remembered, "Of course."
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I want my family to eat better. Ye Qian can naturally understand.
When they heard that they could buy supplies, the three of them were very happy. After telling Ye Qian what they needed, they thanked her.
The three of them wanted the same thing: 5 kilograms of meat, 20 kilograms of white flour, 20 kilograms of rice, some 5 kilograms of brown sugar, 2 bottles of canned meat and 2 bottles of canned fruit.
After hearing their request, Ye Qian also promised to ask them to come early the next morning so that they would have time to return the supplies after getting them, and the price would be the same as before, based on the black market price.
Ye Qian left the factory directly after get off work. In order to help everyone with supplies, she naturally had to go out for a walk.
Ye Qian went directly to the state-owned restaurant and ordered a dish of braised lamb with green onions and a white flour bun.
After packing up the rest before leaving, I ordered another serving of braised lamb, braised pork, 5 steamed buns made of three-grain flour, and 5 steamed buns made of white flour, and then went back to the dormitory.
After Ye Qian returned to the dormitory, she hid in the toilet and entered the space to sort out the things she needed to take out tomorrow.
After tidying up the space, I washed up and went to bed.
The next day, I arrived at the office at 7:15 just like before, and all three of them were already there.
Ye Qian put down the small backpack on her back and distributed the supplies to everyone.
After everyone looked at the supplies, they gave all the money and tickets to Ye Qian.
Ye Qian had spent more than a thousand yuan on shopping when she went to Shanghai to study, but she made up for it this time and still had more than six thousand yuan in savings.
The three of them packed their things into the bags they had prepared, thanked Ye Qian, and went home.
Ye Qian also went back to the dormitory, put down her small backpack and went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
When Ye Qian returned to the office again, Jiang Xia and Chen Xiaoling had already returned.
I have to say that everyone is punctual.
Today is also the last day of work, and everyone’s work was completed yesterday.
After everyone sat for a while, they started cleaning.
After sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, and wiping the table, Wang Juan came to hold the year-end meeting for everyone.
Let everyone say a few words, make a simple year-end summary, and also indicate that they will do better next year.
There were few people in the union, so the meeting ended in a short while. Wang Juan also announced a holiday on the spot, and everyone locked the door and left work.
