Chapter 173 Two Baskets of Eggs
Alas, the village chief Hu Zhigang was so upset that he almost slapped his thigh, thinking that all his previous worries were in vain.
An Xin certainly didn't know about Hu Zhigang's various regrets. People had already classified her as one of the three poorest people and had even decided not to lend her money when she asked for it. She just replied seriously.
"Yes, my friend wants to find a few capable and down-to-earth young men from the countryside to be drivers in our village."
That’s right, An Xin planned to select a few down-to-earth and capable young men from their village for training, and then have them come back to drive for her.
An Xin's words of affirmation almost made Hu Zhigang burst into tears for no reason. He almost eagerly shook An Xin's hand, as if he was a poor and lower-middle peasant who was finally moved to see his superiors come to inspect and care about his daily life.
"Oh, your friend is such a good person. There are a lot of young and strong people in our village who are worried about not being able to find work and make money. Tell me, when does your friend need someone?"
How to say it? Their village is really poor now. There are many families like the Lao An family who are still struggling to make ends meet. There are many such people.
This is why when the village chief Hu Zhigang saw An Xin coming to his house, his first reaction was to think that An Xin would ask them to borrow money and food. This was all caused by those people in the village who had no food to eat.
Just imagine, if people and elephants have nothing to eat, they will definitely have to borrow money and food from everywhere. As a result, the whole village is like a frightened bird. Everyone just cares about protecting their own purses and food bags and lives their lives quietly.
Even he, the village chief, was scared after being forced to borrow money several times and not being able to get back the thread and grain he had lent out for a long time.
Now, when they heard that An Xin was not here to borrow money or grain, but was here to provide jobs for the young and middle-aged people in their village, they wondered who this friend was. Hu Zhigang was undoubtedly surprised.
It felt like a pie falling from the sky and hitting Hu Zhigang. He was filled with joy and happiness!
As the saying goes, go out and find work to do, then you can make money.
An Xin brought the job directly to the door. How did Hu Zhigang look at An Xin at this moment? How come it's pleasing to the eye? What did those gossipy women in the village say before? Don't worry, those jinxes and vixens no longer exist.
Why don’t those gossipers, who have been gossiping for so long, get any official position in the village? He didn't even ask for a short-term job. Instead, he was at ease and cared about the villagers. When they found a job, they immediately came to him, the village chief. He was simply a living god!
An Xin, who had become a living god in the eyes of the village chief, now realized that the village chief's attitude towards him seemed to have cooled down a lot, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot.
"My friend is looking for a driver in the next two days. If you have connections, please find ten capable and responsive young men in the village. I will come and take them to the provincial capital tomorrow."
The village chief nodded hurriedly and agreed.
"That's no problem. I'll find someone for you tomorrow morning. But the men in our village are all farmers who were born and raised there. I'm afraid they don't know how to drive."
There are a few tractor drivers in the village, but they are all old and experienced, which obviously does not meet the requirements of peace of mind.
Most of the young and middle-aged people who are down-to-earth, capable and quick-witted cannot drive, otherwise they would not stay at home and dig the ground every day.
He wouldn't want to end up sending people out with great difficulty, only to have to send them back because they don't know how to drive. Not only would he not make any money, but he would also delay people's farming. Then he would have a hard time explaining himself as the village chief.
In An Xin's view, the village chief's worries were not a big deal at all, so she just waved her hand and said goodbye.
"Village chief, you don't have to worry about this. You just need to find the right people for me. My friend will send them to other local fleets for training. Once they have learned how to drive trucks, they will be assigned to their posts."
Anyway, Mr. Cui has already agreed to train a group of drivers for him, so An Xin plans to send these people over for training first and see what the results are after the training. Conduct an assessment before letting them go.
After all, driving a truck is no joke. Safety accidents may occur if you are not careful. In this regard, the 21st Century Anxin still values the comprehensive ability of an individual.
Thinking of this, An Xin emphasized again.
"Village head, when you recruit people, remember to tell them clearly that you should send them out for driving training. They must learn to drive, master driving skills, and be able to handle some minor faults. Only after they pass the assessment can they drive trucks on the road. If they don't study hard, you have to send them back.
Not everyone who is recruited can become a driver. They have to be assessed to see if they have the most basic qualities.
If all people are arranged to drive trucks after training, there is always the possibility that some people will take advantage of the situation and then get into trouble. If a car accident happens, the loss will be immeasurable.
"Really, that's really great?"
When Hu Zhigang heard that these people would be sent for training before they could drive, his eyes suddenly lit up. Then he suddenly heard An Xin's words that they had to pass the assessment to get the job. His face immediately became serious and he said with approval.
"Of course. If you don't have the right skills, you can't do the job. I understand this principle. I will explain it to everyone when the time comes."
Anxin's words were very clear, and the village chief was also a sensible man, so he naturally wouldn't get entangled in these trivial matters.
Now that everything has been settled, An Xin stood up and said to the village chief.
"Okay, then the recruitment will be handled by the village chief. My friend asked me to have people make careful selections. It would be better for the village chief to invite a few more people over tomorrow so that I can select them on the spot."
Since there are so many young and middle-aged people in their village, they naturally have to pick a few good ones.
The village chief’s old face is about to smile like a flower! He stood up and spoke to An Xin in a more respectful tone than usual.
"Of course, I promise to get this done for you, don't worry, what about the salary?"
After the deal was settled, he naturally had to worry about the issue of money. Otherwise, when he was recruiting people and everyone asked about it, he wouldn't be able to give anyone a satisfactory answer.
An Xin lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then said to the village chief.
"Village head, my friend told me that during the training period, these drivers will be paid a temporary wage of 30 yuan per month, including food, accommodation and tuition. After they finish their training, they will be paid an internship wage of 80 yuan per month for the first three months. After they can drive proficiently, they will be paid the salary of regular employees of the provincial transportation company, with allowances, night shift subsidies, and bonuses at the end of the year based on their performance."
When you think about it this way, it’s much more cost-effective than working in the fields every day in the village.
As the saying goes, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass. An Xin is also a smart person. Naturally, she cannot let her subordinates down in terms of salary. Wan. Wan. As long as she takes them out of the village, these drivers will follow her wholeheartedly, so she will naturally not treat them unfairly.
As long as he has something to eat, the people under him will not go hungry.
After hearing An Xin's words, the village chief Hu Zhigang finally felt relieved and said almost as if he was guaranteeing it.
"Oh, your friend is such a good person, An Xin, you have to thank him for me. Okay, I will choose the people carefully, and I will take care of this group of people!"
I have to admit that the conditions offered by Anxin were very tempting. These days, the young and middle-aged men in their village go out to find work, doing physical labor. A young and middle-aged man can only earn about 20 yuan at most for a month of physical work. Unexpectedly, Anxin's friend offered a study salary of 30 yuan a month, which also includes food, accommodation and tuition fees. How cost-effective is that!
The most important thing is that the internship salary has been raised to 80 yuan per month, not to mention that if these people can really drive on the road, they can also receive regular salary from the provincial transportation company after being converted to regular employees. That is the treatment that only those with a stable job can get!
The village chief immediately felt relieved. How could this be a plan for their village? It was clearly to provide jobs for the people in their village.
Who said this little girl is a jinx? Were those people in the village blind before?
The village chief Hu Zhigang decided from that moment on that from now on, who the hell would dare to say in front of him that An Xin was a jinx? He would beat him till his teeth were all gone and the whole village would despise him.
Seeing that the village chief looked like he was in charge, An Xin felt relieved. Everything had been settled, and there was no need for An Xin to stay here anymore. She stood up and said to the village chief.
"In that case, I'll trouble you, village chief. Let's make a deal. You'll be responsible for finding the person, and I'll come here to pick him up tomorrow morning."
The village chief nodded with a smile.
"Of course, I'll take care of it."
After saying this, he personally sent An Xin to the door. When he was about to say goodbye to An Xin, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said to An Xin.
"An Xin, wait a minute. The hens at home have laid a lot of eggs recently. I'll ask your sister-in-law to get you some. You can take some back to nourish the old An family's wife, and take the rest back to cook!"
After saying that, the village chief Hu Zhigang yelled towards his family.
"Home, quickly get two baskets of eggs out for Anxin to take back."
Really, his wife originally planned to keep these eggs and sell them, but who asked An Xin to come over today to deliver such great news? It just so happened that his son and nephew had been hanging around the house for a long time and were annoying, so he took the opportunity to send his son and nephew over.
That's a stable job, so we must first assign our own people to do it.
If I don't give them some benefits, what will I do if I don't get elected tomorrow?
An Xin didn't expect that the village chief could be so generous as to give her two baskets of eggs at once. The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily and she subconsciously refused.
"You don't need this, do you? Village chief, keep it for yourself!"
Her mother had just returned from the hospital, and she had never seen the village chief be so generous. He didn't even say hello. Unexpectedly, when he came to recruit workers, people directly gave her two baskets of eggs, which were laid by his own hens.
This treatment... is absolutely speechless.
So, this person should still contribute to the villagers and bring benefits to everyone from time to time, otherwise who will pay attention to you?
Who knew that the village chief would just wave his hand? The way that doesn't matter.
"Oh, how can I not have them? They are all laid by our hens anyway. Our family can't finish them all. If they are left at home, they will go bad. Take one basket back to nourish your mother. Take the other basket back and make breakfast for you and Bai Yichen."
As he was speaking, the village chief's wife came out smiling and carrying two baskets of eggs. She handed them directly to the village chief, who then handed them to An Xin.
"Take it, don't be polite to me!"
An Xin: "How can I feel good about that?"
The village head's wife, who was standing nearby, saw this and suppressed her pain, and went to Qiu to smooth things over.
"Hey, don't be polite to your uncle, An Xin, just take the eggs away!"
What An Xin said to the village chief just now may have been heard clearly by the village chief's wife in the house. She naturally knew what her husband was planning. Even though she was feeling sorry for the two baskets of eggs, she had to pretend to be generous.
The village chief Hu Zhigang also pretended to have a stern face and said seriously at this time.
"Yes, don't be so formal with me. If you keep postponing it, you'll be treating me as an outsider."
An Xin: "Then I will obey your command respectfully, thank you!"
A sudden surprise, a sudden deliciousness, take it!
So, An Xin left with two baskets of eggs! I left without any psychological burden. Who told me that the village chief would not accept me anymore? Just treat him as an outsider? So Anxin didn't treat the village chief as an outsider at all and took the two baskets of eggs away.
After An Xin's back disappeared at the door, the village chief's wife looked at her husband with a painful expression and spoke with eyes full of heartache.
"Boss, those are two baskets of eggs, and you're just giving them away like that."
If it were sold, it could fetch a lot of money. Why is this old man suddenly so generous? It would have been fine if she had just given away one basket, but she had chosen to give away the two baskets of eggs that she had saved for a long time. If she had known, she would not have let the old man know that she had saved two baskets of eggs.
The village chief shouted with a stern face.
"What are you talking about? Keep your voice down. It would be bad if someone hears you."
After saying that, he dragged his wife home and spoke to her in a low voice.
"Did you hear what An Xin said just now? I gave away these two baskets of eggs for the sake of my son and nephew, didn't you hear that? If this driver is treated as a regular employee of the provincial transportation company, he will be paid a salary every month, plus allowances."
As for his son, he is strong and quick-witted. His nephew is also quick-witted. It's a pity that they stay in the village to farm. It would be great if he had the opportunity to be sent out to be a driver.
When the village head's wife heard what her husband said, she agreed with what he said, but she still expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Is it really such a good thing? Don't waste my two baskets of eggs."
