Chapter 75 Let's open a milk tea shop!
Jiang Jianni stopped what she was doing and started eavesdropping in the kitchen.
She never expected that, just when Jiang's father was about to lose his job, the factory would actually transfer him to a logistics position.
This is so generous!
To be honest, thirty years from now, unless you have family connections or other connections, an ordinary person like Jiang's father, who is in his prime but has lost his ability to work, will only be laid off.
Jiang's father considered it for a moment and then declined.
He's used to working on the front lines; he's not the kind of person who can sit back and enjoy a peaceful life.
Furthermore, the steel plant is currently overcrowded, and many employees' children cannot find jobs.
The factory manager made it sound easy, but in reality, each person was already in their assigned position, and the job was already full. Some tasks that could have been done by one person were even divided among three people.
If Jiang's father were to transfer to logistics, it would be like he was being supported for nothing.
Jiang's father entered the steel factory at the age of sixteen and worked there for more than thirty years. His feelings and loyalty to the steel factory were extraordinary.
They would never do something like drawing a salary without working and taking advantage of the collective and the state.
After considering it for a while, he firmly rejected the arrangement and asked the factory director to process his retirement according to the procedure for medical retirement.
The three leaders praised Jiang's father again and left happily.
As soon as they left, Yang Yuemei angrily shouted at him, "What are you doing? Do you know what you're doing?"
"They clearly said they would arrange a job for you, why didn't you agree?"
"Are you that shameless?"
"Do you think having any self-respect will allow you to support two children?"
"Haiyang and Yanni are still in school. Haiyang will be taking the college entrance exam soon."
"Are you really going to let the Marines raise your child for you, his father?"
Jiang's father frowned: "I'm just trying to think of a solution, why are you so agitated? I'm not going to let you and the child starve while I'm gone."
"Alright, alright, go help Jia Ni with the work."
"She doesn't cook often. If you don't keep an eye on her, what if she doesn't know how to use oil and salt and wastes all the vegetables and meat?"
Speaking of meat, Yang Yuemei looked at the things the factory manager and his team had brought and began to worry: "How are we going to eat all this meat?"
The factory manager and his team brought five jin of pork alone.
Jiang Jianni couldn't help but laugh: "It's just five pounds of meat? If you really want to eat it, you can't finish it, right?"
Yang Yuemei was furious: "All you ever do is eat, eat, eat!"
Jiang Jianni raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll cook it, but you don't have to eat it."
Yang Yuemei was so angry that she jumped up and down: "I still want to eat it, I insist on eating it! Why shouldn't I eat the food my daughter made?"
Yang Yuemei's sometimes unreasonable and argumentative nature is truly something else.
If she weren't her biological mother, or if she hadn't treated her well, Jiang Jiani would have truly considered herself as water spilled from a cup.
When Jiang Haibing, Jiang Haiyang, and Jiang Yanni returned for lunch, they found that the lunch was more lavish than ever before.
Jiang Yanni rushed to the table with delight: "Wow, pork rib soup, braised pork, stir-fried cabbage with pork slices, braised chicken with potatoes, what kind of fish is this? It smells so good!"
"Is today some special day? There's so much delicious food!"
Yang Yuemei said irritably, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. Let's just have this last meal."
"This is what your dad earned through his work. You won't be able to eat it anymore even if you want to."
Jiang Yanni and Jiang Haiyang immediately panicked: "Then, does that mean we can't go to school? Do we have to drop out and work to earn money?"
Jiang Haibing was speechless: "Mom? We're eating, can you please stop saying such unpleasant things?"
"Besides, my dad's job is so tiring. He's bent over all day and can't straighten up. The doctors all told him to rest more. Now that he's not working, it's a good time for him to recuperate."
"Besides, finding a job isn't difficult, is it?"
“There are plenty of private factories out there now, but what's lacking are skilled master craftsmen like my dad.”
"If my dad were willing to work as a technical instructor in someone's factory, with his skills as an eighth-grade fitter, they could offer him at least six hundred yuan a month."
"Six hundred!"
Yang Yuemei gasped: "So much?"
Jiang Haibing nodded: "That's right. Even with such a high salary, they still can't find anyone."
Jiang Jianni thought to herself, "Of course!"
The best workers are all in state-owned enterprises now.
Even if some state-owned enterprises are about to close down, no one is willing to give up their jobs there.
There's no other reason than this: the benefits are good.
Take medical treatment as an example. Almost every state-owned enterprise has its own clinic, and large state-owned enterprises even have their own separate hospitals.
For factory workers, medical care, except for terminal illnesses, is free, including medication, injections, and IV drips.
Some people also obtain medicine from the clinic under various pretexts to give to their relatives outside the clinic or to sell outside the clinic.
It also has everything else: kindergarten, school library, basketball court, ping-pong table, canteen, etc.
A large state-owned enterprise is like a large community.
Everything you want is here.
If you meet someone who likes to stay at home, they won't starve even if they don't go out all year.
When the original owner was a child, Jiang's father took her to the factory's clinic for treatment. Although it was for a cold, it still cost several yuan to see a doctor for a cold outside.
Besides, they'll receive a pension after retirement.
Given these conditions, how many private factories outside can meet them?
Jiang's father was intrigued: "Are there really that many?"
Jiang Haibing glanced at his father's hand: "Let's think about these things after your hand is healed. Focus on recovering now."
"If you really want to go back to work after you recover, I'll find a way to help you."
Since withdrawing the more than 20,000 yuan from his savings account, Jiang Haibing, even though he is not married, has gained a voice in the family and is no longer a naive young man.
Jiang's father could still keep his composure, but Yang Yuemei couldn't.
Her visibly pleased expression made it clear to anyone with eyes how angry and bewildered she had been just moments before.
Jiang Jianni was able to leave early on Monday morning because she didn't have any classes. She had to go back to school in the afternoon and went straight to the Lu family's house in the evening, without coming to the Jiang family's house again.
Upon returning to the Lu family home, they discovered that their second uncle, Lu Erdan, had already left.
She said she was worried about leaving her youngest son at home.
Lu Sitian was also worried about leaving her younger brother alone at home, and strongly supported her father's decision to go back.
The father and daughter insisted that Lu's father did not act as the bad guy.
I brought him a lot of things and even bought him a sleeper train ticket.
Lu Sitian is a hardworking and diligent girl.
Even though Aunt Lu said she didn't need to do any work, she still felt uneasy about living there for free. Only by doing some work could she feel at ease staying there.
Her diligence made Lu's parents very uneasy, and the elderly couple tried their best to find a job for the young girl.
As for nannies or the like, they really don't want to.
Being a nanny may seem easy and lucrative, but who knows what kind of employers you'll end up with?
There have been countless articles in newspapers and magazines about nannies having affairs with their employers, nannies seducing their employers, and employers raping their nannies.
But Lu's parents had never run a business before and didn't know anything about the outside world, so what to do with their daughter after the New Year became a problem.
Seeing that they were all worried, Jiang Jianni couldn't help but say, "How about we let Sitian open a small shop to sell milk tea?"
"Selling milk tea?" x3
Aunt Lu frowned: "The milk tea uses all the best ingredients, it must be very expensive to make, right? Will anyone buy it?"
Mr. Lu was also worried: "Is it possible for her, a young girl, to run a business?"
