Chapter 246: My heart was pounding with fear
Ah-man finished a bowl of mutton soup and was about to take the bowl to the kitchen to wash it, but Lu Zhenping took it over. Shen Meng asked him to wait outside. When he went to the provincial capital, he also brought some gifts for Ah-man, but they were all tonics, mostly for his grandfather. Now he could finally give them to him openly.
"Ah Man, these were bought by auntie at the consignment store when she went to the provincial capital. They are all good Chinese medicinal herbs, and they have been divided. When uncle stews soup in the future, put a packet of them in. It will be good for the body."
"Oh, thank you, auntie. Well, then I'm leaving."
"Okay, go back. You've been delayed for a long time. Your grandfather must be worried. Remember to write to auntie more often when you go to Beijing in the future. You know that auntie is running a workshop now. If you see fashionable hair ornaments or hairpins in Beijing, remember to draw them and let sister-in-law see them."
"Okay, auntie, there is still some time. I was so happy when I knew about this letter that I wanted to tell you and my uncle Lu about it."
"Auntie, I know. When you go back, we will all go and see you off!"
Ah Man left with his things in his hands. He walked out of Lu's house openly. He was no longer timid or dodging when he met people. In
the evening, Guo Xiuqin, Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa came to report their work to Shen Meng one by one. Shen Meng looked at the records in their notebooks. If there was no problem, he signed his name on it. If there was a problem, he would mark it down.
The four of them also held a small meeting together.
This time, Lu Debang didn't dare to play it safe anymore. He never dreamed that Lujia Village, a small village, would be able to create a foreign language one day. It seems that their village is now famous in the whole province.
But now he doesn't have to worry or say harsh words, because if anyone dares to cause trouble in the workshop again, the police from the Public Security Bureau will be enough to deal with it.
The people in Lujia Village knew that Shen Meng had taken over the workshop again. This workshop was no longer affiliated with the textile factory, but a formal factory, and everyone who could go to work had a stable salary. This matter was widely spread in Lujia Village.
Xie Jing posted the list of regular and temporary workers at the door of the village cafeteria. When the cleaners saw the big poster on red paper, they all surrounded it.
Thinking that many people could not read, she stood at the door and read the content written on it twice to everyone.
Those who failed to become formal employees felt a little uncomfortable, especially when they saw that some of the people who had quarreled with Shen Meng at the beginning became formal employees. They couldn't help but grumble a few words to Xie Jinghao.
"Jinghao, is there something wrong with what's written here? I've always worked honestly, and I've always thought well of your sister-in-law. Look, Liu's daughter-in-law followed Sister Hua to make trouble, but she became a formal employee and is still paid 25 yuan. Isn't this more or less inappropriate?"
"Yes, Lu Hao's wife is dull and incompetent, but now she's a team leader, and she gets 30 yuan a month. Shouldn't you choose a smart team leader? I'm not exaggerating, but in Lujia Village, if we want to talk about smart people, it's me, your aunt."
.......
Everyone was talking nonstop. Xie Jing waited until everyone had finished talking before she said coldly, "The factory has its own rules. My sister-in-law is willing to take over the factory again because of the county committee's face. These are all decisions made after discussion. What the factory values is ability and craftsmanship, not who has a good relationship with whom. If everyone If you feel it is not suitable, you don't have to do it. No one is forcing you."
The people who were noisy just now all turned pale after listening to Xie Jing's words. A dozen yuan a month is a lot. There is labor in the family and they can earn work points and labor bonuses. During the New Year, the family can also get a lot of food. If they work hard in the factory and earn wages every month, the whole family can live a good life.
Less is better than nothing. Besides, Shen Meng has just taken over the factory. If she makes trouble again, she will quit. Then, let alone making money, she will get nothing.
When everyone stopped talking, Xie Jing looked around and continued.
"Our current workers are all veteran workers. When the newcomers come in, the big guys will help them out. Those who are not good at their craftsmanship will improve their craftsmanship. Temporary workers will also become regular workers. As long as we have more orders in the factory, everyone may be promoted to team leader. Besides, in addition to wages, the deputy factory director has also established a reward system. As long as everyone doesn't make mistakes and does a good job, is there any need to worry about not making money?"
Xie Jinghao looked calm on the surface, but her heart was pounding with fear. These words were all told to her by her sister-in-law before, and she had almost forgotten them. She only said some important things out loud. Fortunately, she was calmed down by the situation.
Shen Meng arranged things in the village the night before, and the next day she took Uncle Guai's ox cart to go to the county town to work. Yu Xueli, who was sitting next to her, saw her carrying a big bag in her hand, and her heart tightened. She was carrying so much money so openly, and she was not afraid that others would see it and want to take a look.
"Sister-in-law, what are you carrying?"
"Oh, these are things I brought for Qianqian when I came back from the provincial capital. She was at home for confinement and couldn't go out, so I sent them to her at noon."
Wu Xianglan nodded and said nothing. She felt a little sad in her heart. She used to think that the work in the textile factory was good, and she felt superior when she went out of the house, but now she feels that it is really not good enough.
Xifeng is now a team leader at the head flower factory. She earns 30 yuan a month, which is much higher than her salary. She wants to sell her job at the textile factory and ask her sister-in-law to arrange for her to work at the head flower factory. That way, she doesn't have to run around every day.
"Sister-in-law, I see that the head flower factory is hiring now. I'm also good at sewing. Can you arrange for me to work there?"
Shen Meng frowned after hearing what Wu Xianglan said. Fortunately, the villagers were watching the factory construction today. There were only three of them on the ox cart, so no one heard her words.
Since they knew she was the deputy director, there were always people at home all night. If Lu Zhenping hadn't had a dark face and scared away some people, who knows how long they would have stayed up yesterday!
"What nonsense are you talking about? The factory has its own rules. Last night, so many people wanted to use their connections, but I didn't agree. The next day, you asked me to open a backdoor for you. How do you want others to look at me?"
"I, I just want to make more money, sister-in-law. I can give it a try. If Jinghao thinks I can do it, I..."
"Even if you can do it, you shouldn't go. What can you do in the countryside? You can become a regular employee if you work in the textile factory for two more years. In a few years, you can bring Yongqiang and Yongli to the county to go to school. As long as you have more years of service, you can get a house in the textile factory, a workshop. Others can't even ask for it. How can you get a house in the countryside?"
Wu Xianglan's eyes widened when she heard this. Why didn't she think of this? Her sister-in-law is really smart.
