The villagers signed up enthusiastically.
Song Deshun was surrounded in the middle. People who registered pulled him aside and asked him all kinds of questions. He spoke more words at this moment than he did in the previous year.
Finally, almost everyone had signed up and the crowd slowly dispersed.
Jiang Wanyue stepped forward and said to Song Deshun, "Third brother, I have applied for a temporary position for you at the bamboo weaving factory. From now on, you will teach the villagers how to weave bamboo and control the quality. Because you are only a temporary worker, the salary offered by the bamboo weaving factory is not high, only eight yuan temporarily. If this matter can be stabilized, the bamboo weaving factory will consider increasing your salary or making you a regular employee."
"Eight, eight yuan?" Song Deshun was stunned. "It's a lot, Fourth Sister-in-law. Thank you, thank you."
"I should thank you on behalf of the villagers in the brigade because you strive for perfection and the big round box is particularly beautiful, which made this possible." Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "We will select people tomorrow morning. Third brother must set a standard to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"well."
Song Deshun went back feeling a little dizzy.
"You are really good at doing great things without saying anything!" Tian Youliang walked over, shaking his head. "You are busy enough with the fishery, so how can you have time for these things?"
Jiang Wanyue scratched his head and said, "I am the deputy branch secretary. If I don't do something practical, the villagers will not recognize me as the deputy branch secretary. These are what I should do."
Song Dahai nodded.
After this incident, the position of deputy branch secretary should be secure.
The next morning, all the applicants came to the brigade headquarters to carry out on-site hand weaving, using four techniques to weave a small basket, which was judged by Song Deshun and Liu Guozhu.
Because we needed to produce one thousand large round boxes within five days and time was tight, we selected nearly forty people.
These forty people, including men and women, young and old, had to hand in at least five pieces every day. After Song Deshun reviewed them and approved them, they would go to Liu Guozhu to settle the payment.
The villagers gathered at the brigade headquarters to do this work, mainly to make it convenient for Song Deshun to give instructions on the spot. Everyone was busy with their hands and never stopped talking.
"By doing this job, each of us can earn at least four or five dollars, which is much better than mowing fish grass."
"Who says it's not true? Bamboo weaving is easy work. You don't even have to move your butt, and you can earn money. It would be great if you could do it more often."
"This job used to belong to the Victory Brigade. It was only given to us by Deputy Party Secretary Jiang. It's good enough to have it once, but you want to have it twice?"
“…”
Old Mrs. Du was also in the crowd. Although she was old, her eyesight was not blurry. She was weaving very quickly. While others were only weaving the third one, she had already finished the fourth one. She took the time to raise her head and said, "As long as our weaving is better than that of the Victory Brigade, the bamboo weaving factory will definitely choose us in the future. Let's get to work."
When bamboo weaving is in full swing.
Jiang Wanyue began to prepare to go to the provincial capital.
The task this time is to sell all the fish in the seven fish ponds, totaling more than 8,000 fish. The task is a bit arduous.
She estimated that she would have to stay in the provincial capital for at least four or five days.
I packed two sets of clothes, some documents, several notes from the brigade, etc.
"Huaizhi, mom will be away from home for several days. You have to take good care of your younger siblings at home." Jiang Wanyue touched her eldest son's head. "You don't have to cook. Just go to your grandma's house to eat. If you are hungry, you can cook an egg or noodles for your younger siblings. Remember to lock the door when you go out, especially lock the box in the room. Also..."
"Mom, why are you so long-winded?"
Song Huaizhi couldn't help but interrupt her.
In the past, when my mother went out, she would only say a few words, but this time, she said a lot and was not finished.
Jiang Wanyue also found herself a little funny.
Maybe it's because we've been together for a long time and our feelings have deepened, so we can't hold on any more?
She took out two dollars from the cabinet and went to her mother-in-law Zhou Xiugui: "I will be gone for a few days, so let the children eat at my place. This is the money for the children's meals."
"They are my grandchildren. How can they pay me for eating here?" Zhou Xiugui said with a straight face, "You go and do your thing. I will take care of the children. Don't worry."
Jiang Wanyue forced the money into her mother-in-law's hand and turned and ran away.
Zhou Xiugui couldn't catch up and could only curse on the spot.
The lady next door said with envy: "Your fourth daughter-in-law used to look useless, but how come she is becoming more and more capable now?"
"Why was she useless before? If she was useless, how could she give birth to three grandchildren for my Song family?" Zhou Xiugui snorted. "Now that the children are grown up, we don't need her to be with us every day. Naturally, they can do great things. The Chairman has said that women can hold up half the sky. Just wait and see. She can still do great things!"
At dawn the next day, Jiang Wanyue picked up her luggage and went out.
This time, she and Lin Jin went to the provincial capital together, while Zhao Xiangbei stayed in the team to deal with some miscellaneous matters.
The two walked to the commune and took the earliest bus. On the bus, Jiang Wanyue originally closed her eyes to rest, but she heard several people talking about their Xiaojing Brigade.
"I heard that Xiaojing Brigade has arranged jobs for villagers in the bamboo weaving factory, where they can earn 1.5 cents per piece."
"Wasn't this job previously assigned to the Shengli Brigade? Why has it fallen to the Xiaojing Brigade now?"
"It seems that their team leader's son-in-law works in the bamboo weaving factory. Maybe this is the reason."
"Oh, I really envy Team Xiaojing. When will this good thing come to us?"
“…”
Lin Jin sat up straight.
She pulled the corners of her lips.
Liu Guozhu has been working in the bamboo weaving factory for more than ten years, but he has not brought any benefits to the Xiaojing Brigade.
Does this matter have anything to do with Liu Guozhu?
