Chapter 248 Linkou Commune
early morning.
It's just dawn.
Zhao Yi rushed to the station.
By the time we arrived at Linkou Commune, it was almost time for lunch.
"Brother Yi."
Seeing Zhao Yi coming with some gifts, Zhao Yan quickly invited Zhao Yi into the house.
At this time, the room was already full of little ones, each of them holding a picture book and reading it seriously, sharing it with the person next to them from time to time.
"Your sister-in-law asked me to come and bring you something. Chen Yan didn't go into the city these two days. Did he go to Xiongjia Village?"
Zhao Yi looked at his distant cousin and asked.
"We said we were going into the mountains the day before yesterday. This is already the third day. Brother Yi, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Zhao Yan explained.
"It's like this, your sister-in-law doesn't want to go to work at the garment factory for the past two months, and wants to find someone to take her place, so she wants to ask if you want to go."
Zhao Yi explained his purpose.
"I'm afraid this won't work."
Zhao Yan said with some embarrassment, it was not that she earned more in the commune than in the factory, but it was inconvenient for her to leave with her apprentice. Zhao Yan loved her apprentice very much, and if she left for the next two months, she would have nowhere to learn the craft.
Her grandmother's health is getting worse day by day. If she passes away, they will have no ability to survive. Although it is the same to work with the team, having skills and not having skills are two different things.
"I know your situation. Is it because of this little girl? I have already informed Director Xu at the garment factory and agreed to let her work with you for two months. You also know that you only have one machine here. Even if I teach you step by step, you can't learn as fast as in the factory."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
At this time, the little girl was looking at Zhao Yi with her big round eyes.
When I heard that I had to go to a factory to learn a skill, I was a little confused. Didn't they say that factories in the city don't even hire apprentices? Why did it sound so easy in this person's words?
Zhao Yan knew that it was because of their household registration problem. If their household registration was in the region, Zhao Yi would be able to easily help send them to the factory, and at worst they would be temporary workers.
"Okay, I'll ask my mom to come over and help. She can use the sewing machine anyway, she's just a little slower."
Zhao Yan nodded in agreement. When they got there, she and her husband could live on the second floor of Zhao Yi's house, and she could leave the baby to her parents' care for two months.
As he spoke, Zhao Yan asked someone to take the letter to Wangou Village.
At this time, Zhao Yi was walking around the commune. He hadn't been to the commune for a long time. In fact, there were not many changes, just a few more houses.
Not long after, Zhao Laoshi and Zhao Yan's mother came over with Zhao Long. When they saw Zhao Yi, they immediately walked forward with a smile, and Zhao Laoshi took out the cigarettes from his pocket.
"Uncle, you know I don't smoke."
Zhao Yi waved his hand.
"Xiao Jing is going to Kyoto?"
Zhao Yan's mother looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"No, I just don't want to go to work. The store is too busy and there are many gifts to receive every day. I feel that working in the factory is not as good as my own store."
Zhao Yi smiled.
The last time Zhao Yan was asked to cover for Zhang Jing was when they went to the south. Zhao Yan knew that Zhang Jing had bought a house in Kyoto, so subconsciously, Zhao Laoshi and his family thought that Zhang Jing was going to Kyoto for fun.
In fact, Zhang Jing also wanted to follow Zhao Yi's example and sell her job, but once the job was sold, the housing in the garment factory's staff quarters would be taken back.
Therefore, Zhang Jing did not want to sell her job for the time being. At least she had to wait until her uncle Zhao Dajiang had enough money to buy a place to stay. There would be customers who would buy those goods in the county town, but the number of people could never reach that in the regions.
Nowadays, a cheap house in the area costs only a few hundred yuan, and a slightly better one can be bought for more than a thousand yuan.
Zhang Jing planned to let Zhao Yan try working in the factory first, and then sell the job to Zhao Yan when the time was right.
That's why Zhao Yi came to the region to find Zhao Yan to take over. As for the little girl in front of him, it depends on how Zhao Yan arranges it after she has learned it. Zhang Jing can't help for the time being.
Zhao Yan must have come to the commune with her own family, but she could still earn an extra ten yuan a month by setting up a stall doing sewing and mending.
The little girl put on the new clothes made for her by Zhao Yan, said hello to her grandmother, and followed Zhao Yi back to the district by car.
When she arrived at the department store, Zhang Jing had already bought two beds and two sets of bedding in the second-hand market.
"sister in law."
Zhao Yan took a few steps forward, grabbed Zhang Jing's hand and shouted.
"You have to go to work tomorrow. I've already made arrangements with them. You'll be taking care of the girl by yourself. They won't give you much subsidy, but you can eat for free in the cafeteria."
Zhang Jing explained.
There is no shortage of apprentices in garment factories now, and every apprentice must receive subsidies. These apprentices are recruited by themselves, not by the factory itself, so they cannot apply for subsidies.
"But don't be discouraged. Director Xu promised to give you an apprenticeship if there is a vacancy. If there is really no vacancy, I have already asked. It is no problem to make four-piece suits or clothes for the county department store or supply and marketing cooperative for a monthly salary of twelve yuan."
Zhang Jing said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhao Yan nodded. As long as there was something to do, it was fine.
I’m afraid that even if I learn it, there’s nowhere to put it.
As for going to the county town to pick up the goods and take them home, although it is a bit far, it is okay with the commune's tractor as a means of transportation.
Places like department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives can outsource things like four-piece sets. Any family with a sewing machine can take it on, but the maximum profit a month would be is twelve yuan.
Most families who can afford a sewing machine are workers and have no time to take private jobs.
However, with Zhang Jing's words, Zhao Yan knew that the money her apprentice would spend on buying a sewing machine would be at most a few dozen yuan.
"Master's wife."
Xu Chao came over on a bicycle carrying a lot of gifts.
"You're getting married soon, and you're still making so much noise all day long."
Zhang Jing saw that the person coming was Xu Chao and cursed with a smile.
"Where is my master?"
Xu Chao asked quickly without looking at Zhao Yi.
"We're at the appliance store. All the appliances you want are ready for you. Just go over and take them away. You need to change your naughty personality. Be careful with those expensive things. Don't drop them on the ground."
Zhang Jing looked at Xu Chao and explained.
When Xu Chao came to order home appliances, Zhang Jing gave him some discounts. The TV and tape recorder were both discounted by 20 yuan each. After all, this apprentice was so popular that he would come over every few days.
Every time he came, he came with nothing. Zhang Jing was worried that his salary was not enough to spend. Fortunately, he was about to get married and there would be someone to help manage his salary.
"knew."
Xu Chao said this and ran away in a hurry. Zhao Yan and Xu Chao were quite familiar with each other. They had been here for quite some time and they often ran into each other.
It’s quite funny to see Xu Chao often being scolded by his brother and sister-in-law.
"Master."
"No, no, no, you are my master."
Hearing Xu Chao's voice in the shop, Zhao Yi waved his hands quickly.
"Master, how did I make you angry?"
Xu Chao looked at Zhao Yi with some grievance.
"You didn't make me angry, you just set a trap for me. Others would set a trap for their fathers, but you set a trap for your master."
Zhao Yi looked at Xu Chao helplessly and said.
"That's impossible."
Xu Chao scratched his head embarrassedly.
