Chapter 328 Returning Home in Glory
Linkou Commune.
Xiaohe Village.
Wang Daya and Lin Qiao returned to the village on a tractor.
As soon as she jumped off the tractor, everyone showed envy on their faces. She was wearing a tweed coat and leather shoes. Moreover, Wang Daya had eaten well in the city for a year and her nutrition was adequate, so she didn't have to work in the village.
The little girl has changed a lot. She used to be dressed in rags and was a little dark, but now she is tall and very pretty. She has a little baby fat on her face and her big eyes are particularly bright.
In just one year, Wang Daya had grown to be as tall as Zhang Jing.
Wang Daya ignored the people at the entrance of the village. In the beginning, the Lin family was the best to her family. The rest of the people were afraid of them. An old lady who might not see the sun tomorrow, with two little kids, no one in the village dared to get close to such a combination.
If the relationship is too good, what if one day the old lady asks for help before her death? Will you agree or not?
If Wang Daya hadn't gone to the city and sent back some canned malted milk and other nutritional supplements every month, Mrs. Zhang would have collapsed long ago.
Since Wang Daya became her apprentice, her burden has been much lighter. She doesn't have to work so hard and she can eat well and take nutritious food. Her health has gradually improved.
Wang Daya ignored everyone, and everyone did not go forward to make trouble. Now that she was a worker from the city, they could not afford to offend her.
"Qiaojie, you have changed so much that we almost didn't recognize you."
If you can't talk to Wang Daya, you can talk to Lin Qiao. They have always had a good relationship with Captain Lin's family.
"There, I don't feel much has changed, except that the clothes are newer."
Lin Qiao was no longer shy.
Every day I have to face different customers for consultation, including men, women, young and old. When business is good in a day, I have to talk to hundreds of people. Naturally, I will not be shy when facing people I am familiar with.
"Qiaojie, how much do you make per month working in the city now?"
A girl of about the same age came forward and said with envy in her heart.
She was wearing a cotton jacket, but compared with her tweed coat and leather shoes, the two looked very different.
"Our current salary is 36 yuan a month, with a 5 yuan attendance bonus every month and a 10 yuan bonus at the end of the year."
Lin Qiao did not hide it.
Zhao Yi's family benefits are very good. Every person gets a can of food every month, a bonus of five yuan, and a red envelope of ten yuan at the end of the year.
I only made eighteen months’ salary in the first month when I started to adapt, but my salary increased very quickly, every month it increased, and now it has caught up with the salary of Luo Hui’s elder brother who works in the steel factory.
The current salary at the steel mill is 42, and including bonuses they make 41 yuan.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces were filled with disbelief. What could such little girls do? Why were they offered 40 yuan as salary to work? If they went, wouldn't they be more powerful than Lin Qiao?
Lin Qiao is far behind them in working in the village.
"Qiaojie, do you still need anyone?"
"Not for now."
Lin Qiao shook her head. Now there are only two sales clerks in the grocery store and the clothing store. The grocery store does not seem to be very busy with the help of Uncle Zhao, and the clothing store is only busy at the end of the year.
They were not familiar with the three girls in the phone booth. It seemed that the girl's salary had not increased much and now it was only 20 yuan a month. She did not receive any red envelope during the Chinese New Year.
However, I heard from my sister-in-law that the monthly income and expenses of the telephone booth were exactly equal, with no profit or loss. The monthly rent of the phone was 100 yuan plus the salary of three people, which was 60 yuan, so the expenses were 160 yuan.
Lin Qiao would not tell these things to the villagers. Maybe many people didn't even know what a telephone was.
Everyone was immediately disappointed. Looking back, they realized that it was Wang Daya who called Lin Qiao to work. Would it be better if they asked Wang Daya for help?
Wang Daya went to the city earlier than Lin Qiao, so maybe there were jobs hiring that Lin Qiao didn't know about.
However, thinking of Old Lady Zhang's face, no one went to the Wang family. They didn't like her back then, and now she doesn't like them either.
"Qiao'er has gone home for dinner."
Lin Qiao's mother came out and shouted, what good can you get out of chatting with these women?
Isn't it because he is jealous of the life Wang Daya is living now, and wants to ask his daughter if she can help him find a job? But don't you think that job is so easy to find? If her family had not really disliked Old Mrs. Zhang at the beginning, Wang Daya might not have brought up this topic when she returned to the village.
Lin Qiao's mother knew what these people were thinking without even coming over.
Lin Qiao walked happily towards her mother in her leather shoes, stepping on the snow.
Seeing such a big change in her daughter, Lin Qiao's mother was very happy.
Today, my daughter's outfit is three times more respectable than those educated youth who went to the countryside, and her looks are no less attractive than those sales clerks working in the city.
"Girl, has anyone introduced you to a date at work in the city? Mom is not being picky, I just hope you can marry into a good family so that you can live an easier life in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qiao's face turned red, and she stammered, not knowing how to answer her mother.
"Are you afraid to let your family know about your relationship? You are a silly girl. You are still young and you can't judge people well. Please ask your sister-in-law Zhang Jing to check and don't let others deceive you."
Lin Qiao's mother muttered.
"Mom, where can I find a date? I'm so busy going to get off work and coming home every day, and when I get home I have to watch TV."
Lin Qiao said after holding it in for a long time.
She and Wang Daya were both only sixteen years old. Zhang Jing and the others had told them that they were not allowed to date. If they wanted to date, Zhang Jing would help them find one. Even if they couldn't marry a worker, the man had to be a down-to-earth, hard-working young man at least.
The two of them had unconditional trust in Zhang Jing and had no intention of doing anything like that in the city at all.
Hearing her daughter say this, Lin Qiao's mother felt much more relieved. She had been to the city to deliver food and had met Zhang Jing several times. At first glance, Zhang Jing looked like the leader of the commune. She spoke in an orderly manner and was very convincing.
At this time, Lin Qiao told her mother about Li Baoyu, who was introduced by Zhang Jing. This made Lin Qiao's mother extremely envious.
"Girl, go and ask Grandma Zhang to come over. We can spend this year together. You guys are used to working and living together in the city."
Lin Qiao's mother seemed to remember something and spoke quickly.
Lin Qiao nodded and walked towards Wang Daya's home. She and Wang Daya were best friends. They went to the city because they were from the same village and grew up together.
As soon as I arrived at Wang's house, I saw Wang Daya preparing to cook.
"Daya, my mom asked me to come over and invite you guys to dinner. Grandma Zhang, please stop working."
As soon as Lin Qiao entered the room, she took Wang Daya's arm and looked at Old Lady Zhang.
