Chapter 45
These days, the work of the logistics department is very divided. Those who work in the office work in the office, and the old ladies and old masters who clean the toilets, workshops, and factory rooms also belong to the logistics department.
Although they all belong to the logistics department, their wages and benefits are very different.
The old masters in the factory have seniority subsidies. After liberation, the country has improved the treatment of the working class. For example, the old masters who clean lathes in textile factories can get 35 or 6 yuan a month in salary plus subsidies.
Moreover, the older the master in the factory, the higher his status. Even the leaders in the factory would not boss the respected masters around. They would not be respectful, but at least they should be polite and nod their heads. Otherwise, the spit in the factory would drown people and it would be difficult for them to get promoted in the future.
Lin Yao went to work on her first day. She was unfamiliar with the factory and the social etiquette. Zhang Cuilan was worried. If she hadn't had to work in the pig farm, she would have wanted to go to the textile factory with her daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, the work of the logistics department was not that complicated. Gu Mancang had asked about it before. The logistics department of the textile factory was a small department. There were only five or six people, including the leaders.
Yaoyao just got in. As long as she takes care of the etiquette and is responsible at work, and doesn't cheat, no one can catch her.
Last night, Zhang Cuilan gave Lin Yao many instructions and told her everything she could think of.
Lin Yao nodded repeatedly.
It was almost eight o'clock. The textile factory started work at 8:30. It took 20 minutes to ride a bicycle from the compound to the textile factory.
The family packed up and went out.
Gu Shian pushed out the 28-bar bicycle at home and took his little girl with him to avoid bumps on the road.
He tied a coarse cloth cushion to the back seat of the car. Lin Yao jumped on it to try it out and found it quite comfortable.
Gu Chunmei sent them out and gave Lin Yao a bag of fruit candies, asking her to go to the office and share it with everyone. As the saying goes, a person who eats from someone else is soft-hearted, and a person who takes from someone else is not willing to give.
The fruit candies looked insignificant, but sharing them would sweeten the mouths of those people and not cause any trouble for Yaoyao.
Lin Yao smiled and put the candies in her small bag, and thanked Gu Chunmei.
Gu Chunmei patted her and said angrily, "Okay, do we need to thank each other for our relationship? Let's go, don't be late for your first day at work."
Lin Yao glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was seven fifty-five. She said goodbye to Gu Chunmei and jumped on the bicycle in a hurry, urging Gu Shian, "Hurry up, hurry up."
Gu Shian took a long step, and the crisp bicycle bell rang, merging with the birds singing in the trees in the early autumn morning into a pleasant symphony.
On the streets of Yunshui County in autumn, autumn clothes are thick. The osmanthus flowers on both sides of the street are in full bloom, and dense small yellow flowers hang on the branches. There is a sweet scent
of osmanthus in the air. Lin Yao smells the sweetness of osmanthus in the air, and plans to go to Wuxiangzhai to buy two bags of osmanthus candy after work.
Wuxiangzhai was an old snack shop in the county before liberation. The sweet-scented osmanthus candy they made was unique and sweet. It not only had a strong sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, but also had no greasy sweetness like the candies of this era.
Lin Yao, who was always picky about food, became addicted after eating it once.
Gu Shian heard the little girl talking about the sweet-scented osmanthus candy in the back seat, and praised it endlessly. The corners of his mouth curled up, "Do you want to eat it so much?"
"Of course, sweet-scented osmanthus candy is delicious."
A person's life is only a few decades, so of course you should eat more delicious things, otherwise it would be a pity if you accidentally die one day and can't eat them.
Lin Yao took it for granted and poked someone in front of him with his hand.
"Do you want to eat?"
Deputy Director Gu was very polite, saying that he also wanted to eat, and that he would buy a few packs from Wuxiangzhai after work to satisfy his craving.
When Lin Yao heard this, her face was filled with joy, her almond eyes formed a crescent shape, and she immediately started to flatter him.
"Oh, our Deputy Director Gu is still considerate, it's really great."
After saying this, she clapped her hands.
Although Gu Shian's expression did not change much, the arc of his mouth corners should not be too obvious.
At 8:15 in the morning, Lin Yao arrived at the gate of the textile factory on time.
Lin Yao jumped off the bicycle and tugged at the small shoulder bag on her body. The work clothes from the textile factory were fat and wide, with loose trouser legs that sagged down. They were not very comfortable to wear, especially the waist, which was as thick and fat as a child wearing adult clothes.
Lin Yao kept mumbling to herself that the clothes were too big and uncomfortable to wear. She looked unhappy, like a puffed-up kitten.
Gu Shian rubbed her head and comforted her, saying that she should go home and have the clothes altered.
Lin Yao said "hmm", this was the only way now.
The couple talked for a while and then went to work.
Before leaving, Gu Shian also gave Lin Yao a bag of milk candy.
Lin Yao held the candy in her hand and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sister Chunmei gave her candy, Gu Shian also gave her candy, and even Dongzi stuffed a few pieces of orange candy into his bag. It's true that people of the same family are like each other.
Lin Yao entered the textile factory with a bag of candy in her pocket.
In this day and age, you need a letter of introduction issued by the street to work in a large factory. The gatekeeper of the textile factory looked at the letter of introduction in her hand and his eyes flashed with surprise. It turned out that this pretty girl was a new employee of the logistics department and had even graduated from high school. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. It seems that the old saying is not true. Not all pretty vases are straw bags.
The gatekeeper's impression of Lin Yao changed, and his tone of voice became much softer. He also pointed her to the logistics department.
Lin Yao thanked him politely and gave him two pieces of milk candy.
At this moment, the gatekeeper's serious face showed a smile.
He was an old man, and it didn't matter whether he ate candy or not. His two little grandchildren at home could not eat a piece of candy in a week. The two pieces of candy could also satisfy their cravings.
The logistics department was located in a two-story red brick building. A row of ancient locust trees were planted on the roadside, and locust leaves fell to the ground.
Lin Yao was downstairs, and by chance, she met Zhou Xiaoxue who also came to report.
Zhou Xiaoxue was also wearing a gray, loose work suit, which was obviously more fitted than Lin Yao's. She pulled her thick pants legs in, tucked her wide waist cloth into her pants, and wore a pair of newly bought small leather shoes, which made her look pretty and energetic.
"Sister Lin Yao, you're here too."
Zhou Xiaoxue ran over happily and greeted her.
The two girls went upstairs to the second floor office together.
The doors and windows of the logistics department's office were wide open. Director He was reading a newspaper and drinking strong tea from the enamel pot from time to time.
Usually, Director He would run around in several large factories and spend very little time in the office.
If it weren't for the new employees reporting in today, he wouldn't be seen.
When Director He saw Lin Yao and her partner coming, he was very approachable.
Other people in the office had their own speculations and thoughts.
Nowadays, those who can work in the offices of large factories are all smart people, and they can't get by without some skills.
Everyone knows Zhou Xiaoxue's background. She is the daughter of the deputy director of the factory. She is a cadre's daughter. She came to the factory to experience life. With such a good family background, she will probably marry a cadre of a large compound who is well-matched. In a few years, she will stop working and become a young lady.
As for Lin Yao...
She doesn't look like an ordinary person. Not only does she look charming, with bright eyes and white teeth, but the plum blossom watch on her wrist is not cheap.
The cheapest plum blossom watch in the Yunshui County Department Store costs 100 yuan!
If it weren't for the family with a good background, who would be willing to spend several months' salary to buy a watch.
Lin Yao didn't expect that the watch on her wrist would cause so much speculation.
The watch on her wrist was bought for her by Deputy Director Gu.
In the past, I was busy with this and that at home, so it was inconvenient to wear it on my hand.
Lin Yao kept it in a small rattan box and only took it out to wear it when I went to work.
No matter what the new colleague was thinking, it didn't show on his face. Moreover, Lin Yao smiled and shared candy and talked proudly. For a while, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere in the office was very harmonious.
Compared with Zhou Xiaoxue, who was so excited about her first job that she couldn't eat lunch, Lin Yao, who was used to hiding, seemed much calmer. She worked when she should work, ate when she should eat, and drank when she should drink.
After a day of flipping through books and reading materials, time passed quickly. At 5:30 in the afternoon, the gong sounded for the end of work.
Lin Yao's first day at work finally ended successfully.
In Yunshui County in October, the evening breeze was blowing gently. The streets were no longer hot in summer, and the breeze was gentle.
Lin Yao ate the sweet-scented osmanthus candy bought by Gu Shian, and was quite well-behaved along the way.
As soon as she got home, Lin Yao couldn't wait to hang on Deputy Director Gu, saying that she was exhausted today and wanted a hug.
*
Lin Hongna, she finally brought Lin Daguo and his wife out of the soap factory and went to a remote teahouse. She
originally wanted to pay a few dimes to send her parents back to the countryside.
She was really embarrassed in the factory today.
Who knew that Lin Daguo didn't even look at the few bills on the table, and opened his mouth like a lion, asking for five hundred yuan.
Lin Hongna was so angry that she almost laughed. She was a temporary worker in a soap factory, earning only a dozen yuan a month. She didn't even have ten yuan in her hand, so where could she get five hundred yuan?
She sneered, "Money is not life-threatening. Dad, don't you see what kind of life I'm living now? I eat and sleep in the dormitory, I can't even go into Sun's house, Jialiang doesn't pay attention to me anymore, and you're still making trouble. You have to drive me to death to be happy, right?!"
Lin Daguo didn't care about anything else, but when he mentioned that he had no money, his anger rose again. He slapped the table with a "bang", and the water in the teacup on the table rippled, causing everyone in the teahouse to look at him.
He didn't care. He pointed at Lin Hongna and cursed, "It was you, a stupid girl, who came up with this idea. You said Yaoyao was soft-hearted and wanted money. What a joke! You didn't want to marry into the Gu family. You made a fuss and insisted on hooking up with Sun Jialiang. Is it so easy to get into the Sun family? The Gu family is very well off. If you marry into the family, I will be the deputy director's father-in-law. How much money would it cost?" ! Otherwise, the old blind fortune teller said that you have a poor life!"
Li Aifeng also cried on the side, "That's right, Hongna, there are four of us in our family, and your father and I love you the most. Your eldest brother has been so smart since he was a child, but we didn't let him go to junior high school. All the money in the family is for your education. You can't be so conscienceless and ignore your parents..."
Lin Daguo and his wife sang in unison, and the eyes of the people in the teahouse became more and more strange.
Lin Hongna had no words to say, her face flushed, and she was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
