Chapter 78: This is a bit hateful to say. …
Money is not a problem for Yang Shengyi. The money she has now is already a huge sum, so buying some things is not a problem.
And she was really happy. Although it was a rented house, except for the bed, everything in it belonged to her.
The landlord is an old lady who lives with her granddaughter alone.
Her son and daughter-in-law died in an accident, the same situation as Yang Shengyi's father. This is why Director Ji helped to find this family.
Although the higher-ups have compensated the grandparents, it is not easy for the old man to take care of his granddaughter. Now that Shengyi has a place to live, the old man can also have an extra income.
This old lady is easy to get along with, and she is not an evil old lady.
After helping Yang Shengyi settle down, Director Li took her to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. Finally, he took her to the primary school to familiarize herself with the route. He only left after sending her back.
Director Ji also took the time to take a look. Seeing that everything was fine, he went back to recruiting people for the pickle factory.
Whether it was the plastic greenhouse or the pickle factory, they were all proposed by Zhou Xian. Even if Secretary He transferred her to be a secretary, it could not change the fact that Xiao Zhou was once a member of their Women's Federation, nor could it erase the contribution of their Women's Federation in this matter.
A new pickle factory has been built in the commune and they are now recruiting people. Many people are eager to try, but they are dumbfounded when they see the recruitment conditions.
The commune’s recruitment is also open to all production brigades. When the announcement is posted, all brigades will be notified.
The conditions clearly state that there is no requirement for academic qualifications, but literacy is required.
The highest requirements are in cooking, which has stopped many male comrades.
But even if they are not convinced, there is nothing they can do. This is food, so it is normal to have certain requirements for cooking skills.
However, there are not many female comrades who can read, and the three team leaders who were previously appointed are also required to be literate.
After final statistics, it turned out that Taohua Brigade had the largest number of female comrades who met the registration requirements.
Director Ji almost suspected that Zhou Xian had known that this day would come. Thinking of this, she asked directly.
"I don't have that ability. When I was running the literacy class, I just thought that it would be good to learn more knowledge. Look, it's now useful."
Secretary Chen also laughed and said, "I think this time, many teams will reopen literacy classes."
"You know what? When I came back just now, I saw several team leaders running to Secretary He's office to apply for the reopening of the literacy class."
Now they don’t need to advertise anymore, as some people have started to pay attention to their children’s studies.
Those who used to say that studying was of no use and that they couldn’t get into university or find a job in the city anyway, now start sending their children to school. After all, the commune has said that it will definitely recruit workers in the future, but the conditions will be different at that time. The cooking skills may be lower, but the academic qualifications will not be so low.
There is no need for the commune to publicize that the teams below are already very self-conscious. Literacy classes must be opened and learning to read is imperative.
The Juhua Brigade next to the Taohua Brigade is much easier. They don't hold literacy classes. You can just pay the money and go to the Taohua Brigade to attend.
The members of the Chrysanthemum Brigade were also very happy. They felt that the Peach Blossom Brigade was very lucky. Good things happened to them one after another. Maybe they could even get some good luck by going to class.
Some people even take the initiative to send their children to Taohua Brigade. I heard that if the children in the primary school of Taohua Brigade study well, they will be rewarded.
Zhou Jiefang naturally had no objection. If other teams came to take classes, their team would get an extra source of income. What was there to be unhappy about?
Another brigade next door originally wanted to apply to open a literacy class, but when they saw what the Chrysanthemum Brigade did, they slapped their thighs and did not go to find Secretary He. Instead, they immediately called on the members who wanted to learn to go to the Taohua Brigade to sign up.
The teachers of Taohua Brigade are definitely better than what they can do on their own.
Zhou Jiefang did not object. He just adjusted the teachers' teaching situation. He didn't want the teachers to work too hard. If there were not enough people, he would continue to recruit people from the educated youth to teach.
If it really doesn't work, we can also recruit some educated youth from the two neighboring brigades. I think the other brigades will not object.
Now the Taohua Brigade has adjusted some things. The plastic greenhouses have indeed brought them profits. The teachers have started to receive salaries, and the members in charge of the plastic greenhouses have also received salaries.
These also indirectly motivated the members and gave them the motivation to work hard.
Naturally, these things could not be concealed from the production brigades adjacent to Taohua Brigade. Seeing that there were some benefits, they had to learn quickly.
For example, when the commune's pickle factory was recruiting, many people from their Taohua Brigade signed up. When they went to the commune for a meeting, people from other brigades would come to ask for advice and experience.
Zhou Jiefang is not bragging about this. He really has no experience and relies entirely on his capable daughter.
But saying this sounds a bit hateful.
Facing those people's questions, he couldn't help but answer, and after a pause, he spoke, "Study, read more, as long as you are educated, no matter adults or children, boys or girls, there will always be someone in the family who will have a promising future."
Everyone was silent, thinking about Zhou Jiefang's words, and felt that what he said made sense.
Since they all went to study, one of them would definitely have a promising future. After they figured it out, they went back to persuade the members of their own team.
The ready-made example of Taohua Brigade is the best proof here.
Other brigades were busy organizing literacy classes, and the commune also began preparing for the exam.
Naturally, it was not Zhou Xian's turn to set the test paper this time. Secretary He asked the principal of the commune primary school to set the questions.
The test papers were also graded by the primary school teachers, and the results were posted on the bulletin board after they were announced.
The eldest sister-in-law Hu Lanhua and the second sister-in-law Wu Xiufang also signed up for the exam. Zhou Xian was not surprised at all when he saw the cousins Qiao Caiyun and Qiao Caiyue also came to sign up for the pickle factory's recruitment.
Zhou Xian encouraged them and took the time to let the system draw a design draft according to her requirements so that she could contact the other party's printing factory.
She made the request and gave her template to the system, asking the system to help her complete the specific details before sending the manuscript to Secretary He.
In addition to Yang Shengyi, the names of several other female comrades who make pickles will also be added according to actual conditions.
For example, a certain brand of pickles from Baihua Commune.
So-and-so is the motivation that Zhou Xian left for everyone. Whoever performs well will have his or her name added to the list. In the future, people in the county will see their names whenever they buy pickles from the factory.
These comrades were carefully selected by them, so their skills can't be too bad. And based on the recipe provided by Yang Shengyi, they have grasped the taste.
I heard that those who perform well can have their names added to the canned packaging. This will also create competitiveness for everyone, so that they won't slack off and make mistakes. The reputation of this pickle factory must be established so that when people mention Baihua Commune, they will know about their pickles.
"Okay, let's do this first." Secretary He nodded.
The task of contacting the printing factory was left to Zhou Xian.
She went to the county printing factory with the letter of introduction written by Secretary He.
Baihua Commune has been quite famous in the county recently. When the director of purchasing department of the printing factory heard that Zhou Xian was the representative of Baihua Commune, he thought she was going to discuss cooperation.
As it turned out, Zhou Xian did go to discuss cooperation, but it was different from what he had imagined.
"Printing and packaging?" The purchasing director looked confused.
Zhou Xian explained the purpose of his visit and took out the pickled vegetable samples he had brought with him. These were samples he brought specially, and cooperation could be mutual.
The pickles made by Yang Shengyi taste the best and are the signature dish of their pickle factory.
These pickles are the most suitable way to cooperate.
The purchasing director tasted the pickles and found them to be delicious. "Are you trying to get our factory to buy your pickles?"
"Director Liu, this is what's going on. This is the latest pickle developed by our commune. You are the first one to taste it. If you are willing to cooperate, I can give you a discount. I can guarantee that even if there are other factories in the future, they will not be cheaper than yours."
"Really? You can make the decision?" Director Liu was tempted.
The most important thing is that the pickles taste really good.
"Of course."
"Okay." Thinking of the bustle of the textile factory before, Director Liu agreed without much hesitation.
When signing the contract, he emphasized, "The taste of your pickles cannot be worse than this, otherwise we won't buy them."
"Don't worry, we will definitely guarantee the quality."
Printing and packaging were much simpler. With the help of Director Liu, everything went smoothly and he even expedited the process for them.
Before leaving, Zhou Xian said, "Director Liu, please don't tell everyone that I gave you a preferential price. If it gets out, it will be difficult for me to deal with it."
"Don't worry, Comrade Zhou. I know what to do." Director Liu said with a smile.
Who gets an advantage and then tells everyone about it?
After leaving the printing factory, Zhou Xian turned around and went to the machinery factory to find their Women's Federation director, Director Xu Xiuyun.
When Xu Xiuyun was called out, she was still wondering who had found her. But when she saw Zhou Xian, she was so surprised.
"Comrade Zhou, why are you here?"
"Director Xu, I hope I didn't disturb you?"
"No, no." Xu Xiuyun waved her hand, pulled Zhou Xian in, and poured her a glass of sugar water.
She had been in the spotlight before because of the textile factory incident. Now she is in the factory, and many workers ask her when they can get some of the same benefits as those in the textile factory.
Now the people in the factory who dislike her the most are those in the union.
But Xu Xiuyun didn't care. Those people in the union had always looked down on her. They just hated her more than before. It didn't hurt her at all.
"Comrade Zhou, what do you want from me?"
"Sister Xu, I came to you this time to ask for your help with two things."
"Just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help."
"You should listen first. If it's difficult, forget it."
Xu Xiuyun felt that Zhou Xian's words were comforting, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Xian handed over the pickles she brought with her. "It's like this. Our Baihua Commune is planning to build a pickle factory recently. This is the pickle we made. Sister Xu, please try it. If it tastes good, you can have a look. Women's Day is coming soon. Can you give it to the workers in your factory as a welfare?"
Before coming, Zhou Xian had already inquired about it, and found out that the factories in the county would also provide benefits on Women's Day.
Zhou Xian didn't care how they distributed the benefits, it didn't matter what they distributed, so why couldn't he come and try to get this order?
If it fails, their commune won't suffer any loss, but if it succeeds, it will be beneficial to their commune.
