The salary and benefits are good. The monthly salary is 38 yuan, plus an industrial voucher and so on. They also get priority in picking out any defective products. Whenever there are defective products, their department is responsible for reconciling the accounts. So the first batch of people assigned to the finance department are the ones with the best benefits.
As the weather gets colder, the festive atmosphere of the New Year grows stronger. Liu Yun has reaped a lot of rewards in the past six months. Because she lives alone, her space-based aquaculture business has more than doubled.
Most importantly, because she can often buy defective items, she no longer has to wear or use such shabby clothes. However, her mother has scolded her many times for spending money so lavishly and said she should help her save her salary, but Liu Yun would never agree to that.
This made Xu Hongxing jealous, and she started being sarcastic every day. She was originally just a temporary worker, earning only a little over ten yuan a month. Although Liu Aiguo's salary had increased a bit, it was still thirty-two yuan a month. Together, the two of them had to pay twenty yuan a month for food. It was alright now, but after the two children were born, there would be many expenses. Judging from the attitudes of Liu's parents and Liu Aiguo, they would definitely have to pay the bulk of the expenses themselves after the children were born. She was now green with envy.
Xu Hongxing is due to give birth in two months. Most twins are born prematurely, so it won't take two months. Liu Jing is also four months pregnant. Liu's mother has been smiling all year round.
The 29th of the lunar year finally ended with a holiday. As they say, working for a large state-owned enterprise is great; the benefits are really good. Today, Liu Yun received two jin of rice, four liang of rapeseed oil, a grass carp weighing about two jin, and half a jin of rice cake. Her benefits are definitely among the best.
When Liu returned home carrying the things, her mother was already cooking. She smiled broadly when she saw what her daughter was carrying.
"This is a good benefit."
"Mom, do you want chicken again this year?"
"Yes, I'll have a big rooster. What else do you want? Your older sister and the others will be back on the second day of the Lunar New Year." Judging from the past two years, this little girl has become quite capable, so I didn't stand on ceremony.
"And rabbits."
“Your sister is pregnant and can’t eat it, but you can still have one. Your brother-in-law will be coming too.”
"OK."
The claim that pregnant women shouldn't eat rabbit because it will cause cleft lip is definitely false, but Liu Yun doesn't feel there's any need to refute it.
The next morning, after breakfast, he leisurely rode his father's bicycle with a basket and sack in hand and set off.
Crackling and popping! The sound of firecrackers kept going off in the street, and children of all ages were running around in the alleys, making it incredibly lively. Today is New Year's Eve, and even the poorest families are willing to buy some small firecrackers for their children to play with. Children are everywhere on the streets.
For the past six months, Liu Yun has been renting a room in Xinshi. It's a small room belonging to an elderly couple living alone, costing three yuan a month. She also opened a separate door next to it.
I don't want to work at home on weekends and have to put up with my sister-in-law's attitude, so I either go out with friends or come here to tidy up my space.
It rains a lot in the south, and I told Liu's mother that if there's a heavy downpour, I'll just stay in the dorm with my friends for one night. Actually, I'll just stay here, but I usually don't stay overnight.
If it weren't for the fact that I'm too afraid to live alone outside, I would have moved out long ago. But at least at home, although there's no privacy in the living room and I have to put up with my sister-in-law's sarcastic remarks, it's safe. In the 21st century, even women living alone aren't necessarily safe, let alone now.
Winters in the South are truly cold, especially along the riverbank. After riding her bicycle across the river, Liu Yun felt completely numb from the cold. The icy wind was blowing so hard that she felt like her lungs were frozen solid. No wonder netizens always joke that winters in the North are like physical attacks, while winters in the South are like magical attacks.
After locking the door of the rented room, I entered the space. It took me several minutes to come to my senses. When I felt a little warmer, I took off my cotton-padded coat.
Looking at the vibrant space, I feel a strong sense of security.
The only downside to expanding the scale of our poultry farming is the sheer number of them. It's harder to keep them confined and just let them roam freely, making them harder to catch. While they're not as difficult to catch as those outside, the area is too large, so it's usually a matter of chance – whatever we catch, we take. But today, for the New Year, we absolutely must bring a rooster and a rabbit. As for the New Year's gift for Teacher Yuan later, that's up to fate.
After more than half an hour of effort, I finally caught two rabbits, two roosters, and two ducks. The ducks were the easiest to catch, as they like to come in flocks.
I picked up two baskets of chicken and duck eggs, sorted them, divided the poultry and put them into sacks, and then picked some cabbages and radishes and carried them out of the space.
He then took some dried mushrooms, peanuts, and melon seeds from the shelf in the space, packed them up, put on his cotton-padded coat, and left the space.
