Chapter 107 Housing Problems
evening.
Zhang Jing walked back home with a smile on her face.
"Boss, why did the factory give me a house when we already have one?"
Zhang Jing asked when she saw Zhao Yi busying around the fireplace.
"The factory doesn't care whether you have a house to live in or not. As long as you are a worker, you have to solve the housing problem."
Zhao Yi responded while cooking.
Zhang Jing was still very excited about the tube-shaped building. She could only envy it when she went to the county town before, but now she actually owned it.
In fact, Zhang Jing was assigned to the smallest tube-shaped building, which had only two rooms and she had to cook in the corridor. This was because she knew that Zhao Yi had a 70-square-meter apartment in the department store. Otherwise, she would have to live like Peng Yiju, with two bedrooms and a living room, and she would have to cook in the corridor.
As for the house that Li Fang was allocated, it was the same as Zhang Jing's because she was single and did not need such a large house. If it was not big enough after marriage, it could be coordinated. Whether it could be coordinated was another question.
"Why is it so expensive to send a telegram?"
Zhang Jing was like a question-mongering child, often asking Zhao Yi some strange questions. The last topic was housing, and now they were talking about telegrams.
"Did you go to send a telegram?"
Zhao Yi asked after bringing the food to the table.
"I originally wanted to send a telegram, but gave up when I heard the price. Xiaofang asked for leave and went back to tell her family the good news and to ask her parents and eldest brother to come to the city.
Wang Jianguo asked a comrade from the Women's Federation to do ideological work on Li Fang. Xiaofang said that such a big matter had to be decided by the family. ”
Zhang Jing chattered after sitting down.
Wang Jianguo is a staff member in the logistics department of the garment factory and also a regular employee. He is about the same age as Li Fang. He follows the few people around all day long, calling them sister-in-law, asking them to say nice words and bringing them candies from time to time.
Peng Yiju, Zhang Jing and Master Liu have been to each other's homes together. The conditions are pretty good, and their lives will definitely be better as they both work as workers in the future.
Zhao Yi shook his head. These matters were not his business and he couldn't get involved.
I have done my best to help. Now that I am a formal employee, Zhao Yi can't help much. The most I can do is to attend the wedding banquet by myself.
After dinner, Zhang Jing started working on the fake collar. After finishing, they went into the house to rest.
early morning.
Zhao Yi was about to push his bicycle out.
"Brother Yi, where are you going?"
Zhang Jing asked in confusion.
"If you are good at riding a bicycle, it will be convenient for you to pick up and drop off the kids in the future."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
Although I learned how to ride the bicycle after buying it, I never really rode it properly. The department store was almost done with the work, and there weren't so many home appliances that needed repair in the neighboring area. There were only two or three a day, so I could handle it.
This is also thanks to the quality issues nowadays, there are very few broken home appliances.
Otherwise, the number of home appliances in two such large regions would be terrifying.
Zhao Yi rode his bicycle to the entrance of the food factory in a short while. When he was about to turn around and go back to the department store, he met Master Wang.
"Xiao Zhao."
Master Wang greeted with a smile.
Master Wang's name is Wang Mingshun. He was the maintenance worker who recommended Zhao Yi to work at Shanyang County Department Store. Unexpectedly, he took over his job by mistake. Zhao Yi feels a little embarrassed when he sees him now.
"Master Wang."
Zhao Yi stopped his bicycle, searched his pocket and handed the other person a cigarette.
"Xiao Zhao, why did you come to our food factory? This big speaker and broadcasting equipment are not broken, right?"
Master Wang smiled.
When the food factory's loudspeaker broke, the factory couldn't find anyone who could repair it, so they were planning to apply for a replacement for the equipment. Unexpectedly, the new warehouse manager recommended Zhao Yi, a maintenance worker from the department store, to come and try.
It was fixed soon.
Zhao Yi became familiar with the director of the logistics department of the food factory, but they didn't interact much.
"I'm learning how to ride a bike."
Zhao Yi said with an embarrassed smile.
"That requires more practice. Okay, I'm going to work first. Come to my house when you have time. You know where my house is. It's the courtyard not far ahead. You used to repair TVs there."
After Master Wang finished speaking, he walked into the food factory.
He didn't take the job change to heart. Instead, he had to thank Zhao Yi. Otherwise, it would have been really hard to be criticized by the director. He was not criticized once a month, but at least fifteen times a month.
The same goes for those workers. If they can’t fix it, then they can’t fix it. It’s not enough to go to the General Affairs Department to complain.
Why did he have to go to the district party committee office to complain about me? If I had such good skills, would I not help fix it?
Life is better now. Every day I just need to count the ingredients that have entered the warehouse and the things that have been taken out of the warehouse. There are no complaints and no troubles.
In his heart, he actually wanted to thank Zhao Yi, because if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to have such a smooth job.
I guess Zhao Yi must be unhappy about being transferred to the region. His family members are all from Shanyang County. It will be troublesome to visit them in the future. He has to take a car to travel everywhere and run back and forth.
Changing jobs does not mean that your salary will increase. The salaries in department stores are all similar. Salespersons, custodians, and technicians all make thirty-six yuan, and there are only internal consumption benefits.
Zhao Yi rode his bicycle back to the department store in a short while. The home appliances delivered yesterday had been repaired and just needed to be picked up by the transportation department.
Zhao Yi locked his bicycle, then opened the door and sat on a wooden chair, reading the nearest newspaper.
"Xiao Yi."
I don’t know how long it was before Zhao Yi heard Li Dequan’s voice.
"Uncle Li, Auntie, Xiao Chao, come in and sit down. Have you eaten? If not, I will go home and make you some."
When Zhao Yi saw the three smiling people, he quickly stood up and greeted them.
"No need to go to all that trouble. We came here because of Xiaofang's matter, and we came to see you and Zhang Jing. That girl is about to give birth, right? You can use these eggs to nourish her body."
Wu Lan handed Zhao Yi a basket full of rice husks.
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. The baby should be born in two months. I will send you red eggs when the time comes."
Zhao Yi took the basket and said.
"Then you go ahead and do your work. Come to our new home to have a quick meal in the evening."
Li Dequan couldn't stop smiling. In the future, his grandson would be a city dweller, which would be convenient for him to study and do anything else. He could also take over his mother's job in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Dequan felt that his wife was very far-sighted.
"Why isn't Xiaofang with you?"
Zhao Yi asked.
"As soon as I got off the bus, I went to work at the garment factory."
Li Chao smiled.
"You probably don't know where the clothing factory's staff quarters are. Let me take you there. I'm familiar with that place."
Zhao Yi took over the conversation.
Zhao Yi had also been to the staff housing the employees of the garment factory. Sometimes he had to go to the employees' homes to repair home appliances. The old men and women had difficulty moving around, so they would ask someone to come to the department store to tell them when their appliances broke down. Zhao Yi would then go to their homes with a bill, collect the money, and hand it over to the Finance Department after the repairs were done.
