Wan Feng is actually no stranger to people with disabilities. When he lived in Wulu Township in his previous life, there were two welfare factories in Wulu Township.
One is a carton factory and the other is a tape factory.
Wan Feng didn't know much about the carton factory, but he had worked at the rubber strip factory. In 2012 and 2013, he briefly worked there for six months and also drove for the factory for six months.
The monthly salary is 3,000 yuan, and the factory provides lunch for a symbolic fee of one yuan.
This is the life Wan Feng experienced during those six months.
The people in there are really all kinds of weird. Those who are slightly lame or mute are basically considered normal people there.
It is not uncommon for someone to be missing limbs.
Most of them are people with lower IQ.
These young men and women look like good people, but they don’t even know money. I’m afraid no one will believe it if you tell them.
This is not an exaggeration. Apart from seeing elderly people who don't know money, he has never seen this in young people.
But he saw more than one in the rubber strip factory.
A fool has his own way. He doesn't recognize money, but he recognizes the color of money. He knows that pink money is the biggest and light green one-dollar coin is the smallest.
Wan Feng wondered, what if he happened to be color blind?
If you don’t know about money, of course you won’t have much demand for it.
Every time payday came, these people's families would come and take their wages away, leaving them with only a few dozen dollars.
Anyway, they don't know how to spend the money except buying Baihongmei at 2.5 yuan a pack.
If a woman even saves money on cigarettes, it seems that her demand for cosmetics is not particularly strong.
The people Zhou Yongyi selected were lame, dumb or dwarfs. Although they were physically disabled, their brains were relatively normal and they had received some education.
At least these people can still work like normal people.
These people work and study very seriously.
"These people have already mastered the basics of mixing mahjong materials and producing mahjong tiles. They will be the future team leaders of the welfare factory and will be responsible for teaching the workers when they start working in the factory."
Zhou Yongyi gave a brief introduction.
Wan Feng has deep sympathy for these people. When a person is born into this world, he is supposed to struggle for life, but God does not give them a normal body, which in itself is a huge injustice.
Wan Feng could do nothing to help with their physical injuries; it was not something he could change.
But the only thing he could do was to provide them with some financial resources so that they could make a small contribution to society.
The welfare factory was finally completed on September 5th.
Zhu Ping and Wan Feng took Zhou Yongyi and more than a dozen disabled employees selected by him to attend the acceptance ceremony.
People from the county disabled persons’ federation were also present, and reporters from the TV station also came to join in the fun.
Zhu Ping, Zhou Yongyi and some employees were interviewed by reporters.
There was a blunder during the interview by the TV reporter, who actually used the microphone to interview a mute person without knowing the truth.
The mute gestured so much that the reporter was confused.
Wan Feng never participates in such situations. He did not accept interviews and hid in the crowd when he saw the reporters.
The factory buildings were clean and tidy, and the disabled employees who had seen the factory's appearance in advance were excited.
After Zhu Ping signed the acceptance document, Tan Chun happily rode his newly bought motorcycle to the Tengfei School construction site. Now he can concentrate on the technical school.
The welfare factory has been accepted, and the next step is for various equipment to be brought in.
The acceptance inspection took place in the morning, and in the afternoon the truck from Nanwan Factory transported the mahjong machine production line into the workshop for installation.
Installation is expected to take two to three days.
At the same time, the things needed for the dormitory canteen also began to arrive, including pots, pans, beds, tables, stools, chairs, etc.
It's almost a two-pronged approach.
It doesn't take much time to arrange these things.
Once the equipment in the dormitory cafeteria is completed, we will start receiving parents.
Even if the other person’s child is disabled, he or she is still their own child. The parents and immediate family members of the admitted employees formed a group to visit the welfare factory.
Faced with the garden-style factory area, neat dormitories and canteens, these parents are very satisfied, and of course the income situation.
As the first person in charge of the welfare factory, Zhou Yongyi repeated the same rhetoric he used when recruiting workers.
The basic salary of employees is 90 yuan, food and accommodation are free, there is a heatstroke allowance in the summer and a heating fee in the winter, which adds up to a monthly income of more than 100 yuan.
According to the wage standards of 1989, this salary is normal, but a little lower than Jiangwei.
But considering that meals are free, this standard is not too low.
A person's food expenses would cost at least 20 yuan a month, which is basically the middle level in Jiangwei area.
These parents came with trepidation and left with satisfaction.
Once the equipment in the factory is installed, these employees will report to the factory and start their new life.
These telephone booths with rain covers on the roadside have become a new landscape in Jiangwei.
There is a constant stream of people calling every day.
The five telephones in Wankou are rarely idle. Every time Wan Feng passes by, he sees someone humming and laughing while holding the phone.
I really don’t know how they managed to survive when there were no telephones and they basically had to rely on shouting.
Of course, most of the people who called were young men and women, and judging from their expressions, they all looked mysterious and ambiguous.
Xu Bin and Teng Yuanyuan had a fight over a phone call. I wonder if these young people have ever had a fight over something.
A young man was probably the one who was tricked. He came out of the phone booth and hurried into Zhang Xuan's pager shop. A minute later, he hurried out again, inserted the card into the phone, and dialed the number.
Apparently, the young man had just used up all the money on one of his cards, so he hurriedly bought another one.
Ever since she got a phone, Zhang Xuan's mood has been as bright as the spring flowers.
Her pager sales are finally back on track, increasing by dozens of units per day.
Pagers sold well, so the number of service households naturally increased.
By September 5, the number of users served by Holi Paging Station had already exceeded 3,000, and is now heading towards 4,000 at a rate of dozens of accounts per day.
At this rate of development, there will be no problem in exceeding 5,000 households by the end of the year.
In direct proportion to the increase in the number of service users, the property in his account is also increasing rapidly. It seems that from the opening of the paging station to now, in addition to recovering all the investment, he has also gained hundreds of thousands.
Zhang Xuan locks herself in the paging station almost all day long. Except for going to the sales department to collect accounts, she is rarely seen outside.
