Chapter 594 Can You Accept It?
"A man working in the city only earns twenty-five cents a day, but the wages in the sugar factory are fifty cents!"
"Short-term work is 25 cents a day. Just now, Mr. Shen said that he only needs half a day's work, and he can split the time into one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. Where can I find such a good deal?"
"Oh my! My family suffered a huge loss this time. Not a single one was selected!"
"Alas, my family can only choose a temporary worker. No, I have to go back and call all those troublesome people at home to have a good talk with them."
There were many different opinions, but no one objected to the selected list.
Just now, Shen Qingqian and the others racked their brains to select the candidates. They had to meet the requirements, be hardworking and able to endure hardships, and not be too impatient. After all, in the early stages of the sugar factory, they had to guard against the leakage of the decolorization method.
Among the permanent workers finally selected, there were two from Huanxiyuan, one from Wu Laoliu's courtyard, and five from Shangyang Village; as for the short-term workers, there were twelve from Huanxiyuan and eight from Shangyang Village.
This result takes everyone into consideration.
When Old Mrs. Chen heard about the wages, she was also very disappointed, but then she thought that those who were selected would go to work in the sugar factory, and the output of the land might not be as much as theirs, so she felt balanced again.
Jiang Goudan was standing next to her. Old Mrs. Chen couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Jiang, why is no one from your courtyard participating?"
Yes, no one from Jiang Goudan’s yard participated in the recruitment of workers for the sugar factory today, but Jiang Goudan ran over to watch the excitement for a while.
Hearing Mrs. Chen's question, Jiang Goudan chuckled and said, "We have too many things to plant this year and we can't spare any manpower."
There are only a few dozen people in their entire yard, including the elderly and children. In addition, Shen Qingqian recommended Jiang Goudan and others to the planting base, and they also have tasks this year.
Old Mrs. Chen said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, everyone’s life is somewhat different now than before. Those who are down-to-earth and hardworking are living better and better, while those who are lazy and just get by are living a tight life.
Amidst all the discussion, the girl next to Lin Siyu whispered, "Third sister, don't you want to be a long-term worker? Why do they ask you to do short-term work?"
Lin Siyu's face darkened when the results came out, but she quickly made herself look happy.
Hearing her sister's words, Lin Siyu just replied softly, "Maybe the Sixth Miss and the others have other considerations. It's good that I can do some temporary work."
She spoke beautifully, but her hands, hidden by her sleeves, were tightly wrung.
At this time, Shen Qingyu walked across the crowd and came to Lin Siyu, "Sister Siyu, Sixth Sister invites you to come over and talk."
"Okay, let's go over there quickly and don't make her wait too long." Lin Siyu smiled and walked away affectionately holding Shen Qingyu's arm.
If you don’t know, you might think they are good sisters.
Although Shen Qingyu looked silly, she was not completely cunning. She did not show it on her face, but on the way back she took the opportunity to pull back her hand.
"Look, that's the farm tool my eldest brother brought back last time. I heard it can speed up the sowing process." Shen Qingyu pointed at the things under the eaves of his house.
Lin Siyu took a look and praised it a few times, "But the spring plowing is over this year, and next year I might have to borrow this thing from you."
The two of them went into the house while talking.
Shen Qingqian greeted Lin Siyu and then apologized, "Miss Lin San, I'm so sorry. There are too many people applying for the job today. I see that your family has just settled down and you must be short of manpower, so I arranged a short-term job for you. Can you accept it?"
It's just right that she can't accept it, because she has many suitable people available.
