Chapter 359 Time Flies 2
early morning.
Wang Daya drove to Linkou Town. Since 1983, when the commune was transformed into a town, Linkou Commune became Linkou Town, and the nearby Linjia Village now has asphalt roads.
People in the village who work in garment factories now live in two- or three-story concrete buildings.
In particular, Wang Daya's family was the first to live in a concrete building.
Wang Daya also changed her name to Wang Xin, and her salary has always been higher than that of the factory workers.
I met a technician from the textile workshop in the factory a few years ago, and we are now married.
Of course, the two of them couldn't afford the car with their salaries, but the factory bought the car at a low price from other factories that were having trouble turning over money, and equipped it for the factory's senior management.
Wang Daya is a veteran of the factory. Although she does not have a high level of education, she has become a middle-level leader through her own hard work and study.
Wang Daya's younger brother also came to the factory to work as a technician. Today happened to be his wedding, so Wang Daya drove over to show her support and to gain face. Cars are not cheap nowadays.
Nowadays, the cheapest car costs tens of thousands of dollars.
"Master."
Wang Daya didn't expect to meet her master Zhao Yan.
"Da Ya."
Zhao Yan received an invitation to attend the wedding, and naturally wanted to see how Wang Daya was doing now. Although Wang Daya would visit her with gifts every New Year, they had not had a good chat for several years.
"Have you been suspended from work at the factory, Master?"
Wang Daya asked with concern, Li Fang and Peng Yiju were both suspended from work, and her master might not be in a good condition either. Director Xu and others had already retired, and all the leaders that Aunt Zhang Jing had a good relationship with had retired.
“I quit earlier than them.”
Zhao Yan felt helpless that the factory she had been running could no longer operate. She had originally thought that if Zhang Jing could no longer run her business, she would return the job to her. Unexpectedly, even though the factory could no longer operate, Zhang Jing's business became more and more prosperous.
"Master, why don't you come to work in our garment factory? If you come, Auntie will reserve a place for you no matter what."
Wang Daya looked at her master and said.
Even if she has the right to recruit workers, Wang Daya still has the right to make the decision on one or two vacancies.
As for why he went to find Zhang Jing, it was definitely so that his master could at least become a team leader.
"How can I have the nerve to go to my sister-in-law? The job in the garment factory was hers in the first place. Now she can't make it in the garment factory anymore. If I go back to her, it will cause her trouble."
Zhao Yan shook her head. Although she had lost her job now, she could still get a job with the help of the connections she had made in the city. However, it was no longer a stable job.
Working as a nanny for Director Xu's family can still earn about 100 to 200 yuan a month. All you have to do is cook two meals a day and put clothes in the washing machine to wash and hang them up.
"I don't agree with what you said. No matter what, you are my apprentice. Even if you are not an apprentice, you are still my cousin. How can I watch you suffer?"
At this time, Zhang Jing's voice became louder.
Today is the wedding of Wang Daya's brother, so Zhang Jing naturally had to come in person. Unexpectedly, she ran into Zhao Yan. They hadn't had a meal together for several years.
"Don't talk yet and listen to me. If you can't let go of your pride at the garment factory, then go to the city to help me. I believe you know about the daily sales of ten garment stores and the stocking issues. I will give you a salary of 400 yuan a month."
Zhang Jing said while holding Zhao Yan's arm.
"Sister-in-law, you."
Zhao Yan felt mixed emotions. Chen Yan had always been responsible for stocking and wholesale groceries from Hong Kong for Zhao Yi's family. He was paid 400 yuan a month and received a bonus of 300 yuan at the end of every year.
"Don't be so silly. Just tell me whether you are going or not. If you don't go, I won't acknowledge you as my disciple anymore."
Zhang Jing said with a straight face.
"Is it not okay for me to go?"
Zhao Yan immediately surrendered and felt even more grateful to Zhang Jing.
It doesn’t take long to prepare stocks. I just go to each store every night to register and report, and record the sales of each store. I don’t have to worry about anything else.
"That's more like it, but I'm still a little angry. You two don't treat us as your family. Since you're laid off, you should tell us. Can your brother Yi find you a job?"
Zhang Jing said angrily.
"Got it. I'll discuss anything with you guys in advance from now on."
Zhao Yan quickly apologized.
When she was first laid off, Zhao Yan thought it would only take two or three months at most, and she could go back to work after the factory had recovered for a while. However, when more and more of her co-workers were given unpaid leave and persuaded to resign, Zhao Yan realized something was wrong.
At the beginning, there were some living allowances, but in the end, even the living allowances could not be paid. Even the wages of the workers who were still working began to be delayed. Zhao Yan realized that the factory really could not continue to operate.
The only factory in Pingyang City that was not affected was the steel mill. The number of people laid off was very small, and only those workers who were lazy and not serious about their work were suspended without pay and persuaded to resign.
However, the living allowance has not been stopped.
Nowadays, many people with skills in the city have become popular, especially those who are good at bricklaying and carpentry on construction sites. Many people want to send their children to learn skills, and their families will provide them with food and drink, so they don't have to pay a penny for their studies.
It's even harder than learning a craft in a factory, and people won't want you if you don't have connections.
The most popular business in the city now is telephone booths, which generate a good income every month and do not require that many workers.
Zhao Yi's telephone booth earns several thousand yuan a month, but there are only three workers, and each worker's salary is only three hundred yuan.
As for the cigarette factories and other factories, they are not affected at present.
"Where is Brother Yi?"
Zhao Yan asked casually.
"Don't mention him. He is a hands-off boss now. He leaves everything to me and Zhao Peng. He either goes fishing or stays at home drinking tea. His life is so comfortable."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
"Brother Yi traveled back and forth to Shenzhen alone at the beginning, and he suffered a lot when he was young."
Zhao Yan helped explain.
"He's not old now. He's only 40 years old and he's already thinking about retirement."
Zhang Jing joked.
Zhang Jing also wanted to go around and take a look, but Zhao Peng had just graduated and she planned to stay with him for two more years. If she could let go completely, Zhang Jing would have followed Zhao Yi to take a look around.
After having the feast at Wang Daya’s house, the two rushed to the factory.
As soon as I arrived at the factory gate, I saw Zhao Yi walking out with a fishing rod.
"Look at what I told you. Every day after dinner, I just go fishing. There is nothing else to do."
Zhang Jing smiled when she saw Zhao Yi walking out of the factory with a fishing rod.
"If you don't catch any fish today, don't come back."
Zhang Jing joked.
"I didn't raise that fish, so how can it listen to me?"
Zhao Yi retorted casually, then walked towards his car and drove to Wangou Village. In fact, Zhao Yi could catch fish every day, but no one in his family wanted to eat it, so they would release the fish as soon as they caught it.
