Chapter 200 Everyone Returns to the Village
"Yanzi, you have been studying for half a year, and now you have learned almost everything. You have learned how to make clothes and braids made in the factory. It's time to go back and set up your own stall."
Zhang Jing packed her things while giving instructions to Zhao Yan.
During the six months that Zhao Yan worked in the garment factory, she still received some allowances. Director Xu helped her apply for an allowance of ten yuan a month.
After all, within fifteen days of joining the factory, Zhao Yan's speed in making clothes was no slower than that of most temporary workers, and the workshop director had noticed all her performance.
"I understand, sister-in-law."
Zhao Yan nodded.
At the factory, Zhao Yan calls Zhang Jing "Master", and outside, she calls her "Sister-in-law".
Zhao Laoshi was very happy when he knew Zhao Yan had a salary of ten yuan in the factory, although he knew he would not work there for long.
evening.
Zhao Yi’s restaurant was closed.
The customers were also notified in advance. There was only one old customer who had his meals delivered to him on the 30th, and that was Mr. Xu at the corner of the street.
He is alone at home and pays a monthly fee.
In the evening, Zhao Yi, Zhang Jing and Zhang Xiang were busy preparing a sumptuous dinner. After this meal, they would not get together again until the beginning of the new year.
Li Baoqin, Li Baoyu, Chen Jiao and Chen Min were getting along very well and were reluctant to be separated for a few days.
After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted until late at night before going back to sleep. They slept until noon, got up, washed up quickly, and gathered at the department store. Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi sent them to the station.
"This is for your grandparents, this is for your uncle's, and this is for your parents. Drive slowly on the way. When you get to the county town, go to the transportation department and spend one yuan to send you back to the village. Don't get delayed on the road."
Zhang Jing explained patiently.
Zhang Jing was still a little worried about the two little girls going home and wanted Zhao Yi to take them back, but the two girls said that they often went to the county town and would not get lost.
Zhang Jing doesn't need to worry about Chen Jiao and Chen Min. Chen Fen and Zhang Xiang also have to go to Chenjia Village, so she will send them back.
evening.
The entrance of Lijia Village.
A tractor drove towards the entrance of the village. Everyone was a little curious. In this weather, the tractors from the commune would not come to Lijia Village unless there was nothing wrong. Lijia Village was already accustomed to tractors.
Ever since the village collectively set up a chicken farm, tractors from the commune often come to help transport grain.
Two little girls got off the tractor carrying large and small bags.
He was dressed so neatly that the people at the entrance of the village didn't recognize him for a moment.
"Isn't this Li Dalin's Daya and Erya? I heard they went to the city to work as workers."
"Really? I almost didn't recognize him. He was dressed like a city worker. I thought he was someone's relative."
Everyone followed curiously and rushed towards Li Dalin's house.
I saw the two girls brought gifts to their grandparents, and also brought one to Li Dashun's family, and finally they went back to their own home.
"Uncle, aunt, hello."
The two girls were no longer shy when they saw everyone rushing towards their home. Having to entertain so many customers in the restaurant for a long time, they have changed from being shy to being able to talk openly and say hello actively.
"Daya, I heard from your aunt that you are now workers. How much do you make a month?"
An old lady looked at Li Baoyu and asked.
"Auntie, we are not workers, we are helpers, serving food and washing dishes in the restaurant, we earn 17 dollars a month."
Li Baoyu admitted it generously.
"So is your restaurant still hiring? You and my daughter have been playing together since they were young, and we are so close that we almost wear the same pants. Can you take her with you when you go out next year?"
The aunt asked with a smile.
"Aunt, our restaurant is not short of people now. If we were short of people, I would have asked my sister-in-law to come over to help. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely ask Nini to come along."
Li Baoyu responded.
Although he said this, Li Baoyu didn't know how long he could do it. Although he wanted to keep doing it, who knew when he would be stopped.
The family did not take a penny of their wages, leaving them to save the money for themselves, unlike Chen Jiao and Chen Min who sent their wages back home every month.
"Okay, okay. Next time when something like this happens, I'll definitely call Nini."
The aunt said with a smile.
At the same time, on the other side, Chenjia Village.
Watching the four people getting off the tractor, the people in Chenjia Village only recognized Chen Fen. Chen Fen and Zhang Xiang had been dressed like workers a few years ago, without any patches on their bodies.
As for Chen Jiao and Chen Min, who were now dressed neatly in a bright red cotton-padded jacket, no one recognized them. The girl who was pale and skinny when she left the village has now become fair and tender.
"Fen, you guys are visiting your parents again?"
Everyone in the village was somewhat envious of Chen Fen. After she married and moved to Zhangjia Village, her life became more and more prosperous in a few years. All the clothes she wore were without patches, and those with patches were sent to her parents' home.
Now I heard that the couple opened a restaurant in the city and also paid salaries to their two younger sisters.
Everyone gathered around Chen Fen and started chatting about family matters, hoping that their children could also go to Chen Fen's restaurant to help out.
"The restaurant is big enough now, and if there is a vacancy in the future, I will definitely come and hire someone."
Chen Fen did not refuse directly, after all, it was just a verbal agreement.
When the two little girls came in with gifts, the whole family almost didn't recognize them.
It was Chen Jiao who called out "Mom" and everyone looked at her carefully before recognizing her.
When he went out, he was covered in patches, but now he is back clean. He looked like he had no flesh on his face before, but now he has baby fat on his face and his skin has become much whiter.
"Mom, this is a gift that Brother Yi and Sister-in-law Zhang Jing prepared for you. I bought it for you. This is for Brother and Sister-in-law."
The two little girls turned out the things one by one, and the whole family was a little at a loss when looking at these things.
All new clothes.
They spent all their salary for this month to buy these cloths, and then went to the entrance of Gongyuan Hutong to ask Wang Fang to help make them.
However, Zhao Yan and Chen Yan were not in Chenjia Village. Chen Yan lived in the commune and needed someone to look after the sewing machine and the picture books at home at night.
As for the profits from the comic books at home, Chen Yan did not take a penny and gave it all to his father-in-law's family.
After all, my brother-in-law is the only one who runs the stall every day, and Zhao Yan is away in the area and has not come back, so he is busy going to the hunter village to collect meat and has no time.
My brother-in-law is considered half of the family's labor force. He runs around all day without any pay but gets no benefits. He will feel resentful over time. Although he is still young and doesn't know anything, this resentment will be revealed later.
It didn't cost much, and Chen Yan didn't care about the two cents income a day.
Zhao Yan and Chen Yan cleaned up the factory for a while, then they headed towards Zhao Laoshi's home, carrying all the gains Zhao Yan had made at the factory.
"I don't know if Yan Zi will come back to celebrate the New Year this year, and whether we can still have food during the New Year at the factory."
Zhao Yan's mother said worriedly.
