051: The problem of dividing houses
The two brothers broke off some branches in the woods, looked up to see the sun rising directly overhead and wisps of smoke floating over the company headquarters. They guessed that the meal should be ready, so they carried the sacks back home.
When I got home, the Li family just happened to be having dinner.
The whole family, except that idiot, had gloomy faces.
Especially that Li Dasong, his face was as gloomy as if the sky was about to fall.
Yu Daye turned a blind eye and calmly led the second child to wash his hands and eat.
Today's lunch is sorghum flour porridge, black bean flour steamed bread, a plate of dried radish, and nothing else.
The family found it difficult to swallow the food and sighed as they looked at it.
To be honest, the Li family's financial situation is considered to be top-notch in the company. Li Dasong and Li Xinchun, father and son, are both regular employees and have two salaries.
Li Xinchun is a truck driver. Truck drivers transport goods every day, which makes them more profitable and occasionally earns some gray income, so their family's food, clothing and other expenses are much better than those of other families.
In addition, Cai Honghua is good at housekeeping, and raising chickens and growing vegetables are no problem for her. During the busy farming seasons in spring and autumn, she also works as a temporary worker for the company. Temporary workers are paid a day's wages, which is also a source of income.
So the youngest son is the only one in the family who is living off the elderly.
There are more people earning money and fewer people spending money, so the family conditions are naturally much better, and the food on the table is more abundant. Every time we eat, the table is filled with delicious food.
But today, there was only a lonely plate of dried radish and a basket of black bean flour steamed buns that looked harder than heels on the kang table.
Then there was a bowl of sorghum flour porridge in front of each person, which was as thin as the water used to wash the pot.
Li Xinchun had no appetite at all and just stared blankly at the black bean flour steamed bread.
On the other hand, the brothers Yu Daye and Yu Erye ate with gusto, slurping down their meal as if they had not eaten for eight hundred years.
He stuffed black bean flour steamed buns into his stomach one by one.
He ate bowl after bowl of sorghum porridge.
The dried radish made a crunching sound when chewed.
Even more exciting than the food broadcasts of the 21st century.
The family of three just watched them eat, and the more they watched, the more depressed they became.
Finally, the fool gave up and threw down his black bean noodle steamed bun and got angry:
"Mom, I don't want to eat this. I want eggs, I want meat, I want tofu, I don't want this!"
When the two brothers of the Yu family heard the words eggs, meat and tofu, they raised their eyes quietly at the same time.
Cai Honghua quickly glared and scolded:
"We don't have eggs, meat, or tofu at home. We'll just have to eat this from now on. There's nothing else to eat!"
The fool lifted his legs and got off the kang:
"There are eggs at home. I want to eat scrambled eggs with sesame oil. Mom, scrambled eggs for me!"
Cai Honghua dropped the steamed bread in her hand and grabbed her son tightly:
"Come back, the eggs are gone, long gone. I exchanged them for salt. There will be no eggs to eat from now on!"
She deliberately spoke loudly, as if she was afraid that the two Yu brothers couldn't hear her.
Yu Daye then raised his head and said to the fool seriously:
"Anzi, stop making trouble. This meal is really good. Back home, we couldn't even get enough of black bean flour steamed bread. It's such a great meal to have black bean flour steamed bread, sorghum porridge, and dried radish. I can't get enough of this meal in my lifetime."
Cai Honghua:——
Li Xinchun:——
Li Dasong's mouth twitched, and he felt a throbbing pain in his head.
Yu Daye means that he will live here for free for the rest of his life? ! ! !

At this time, the 8th Company next door.
Jia Song received the family of three, Yu Jiahui, Xu Ying, and Yu Xiaoye, asked about their origins, looked at the note and letter of introduction from Director Zhou, and then asked indirectly about the relationship between their family and Director Zhou.
How could Yu Jiahui tell the truth?
Beating around the bush means refusing to give a direct answer.
Firstly, he wanted to deliberately create a sense of mystery, making people mistakenly believe that he really had some hidden personal relationship with the director, so that Director Zhou could be his umbrella of protection.
Secondly, he didn't want the news of him being hit by a car to spread widely. Since the director had handled the matter properly and assigned them work, it would be a bit unkind for him to spread the news that he was hit by the director's car and ruin his reputation.
People should have some conscience, otherwise it is easy to teach children bad things.
As a result, Jia Song tried for a long time but couldn't get any substantial information out of the question, so he gave up.
At noon, Jia Song took them to the cafeteria for lunch.
To eat in the cafeteria, you need a meal ticket. If they don’t have a meal ticket, they can ask the cafeteria to keep a record of the cost first and pay it back later.
The so-called canteen is just three adobe houses with a simple shed outside.
Yu Jiahui saw that it was lunchtime and the cafeteria was still deserted, so he asked:
"Secretary Jia, why is no one coming to eat?"
Jia Song replied nonchalantly:
"People who work outside usually don't come back for lunch. The canteen prepares lunch and sends it to the fields. Otherwise, the journey back and forth is too far and wastes time."
"So how many acres of land does our company have in total?"
"Two thousand acres, and we are still working on it."
"Wow--"
Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying were indeed shocked.
So many places!
With such a large piece of land, no wonder he didn’t come back for lunch.
Yu Jiahui asked again:
"So how many farmhands are there in our company?"
"Including regular and irregular workers, there are about 200 people."
Two hundred people and two thousand acres of land. On average, each person has to manage ten acres of land.
Moreover, not all of these people have to work in the fields. For example, Secretary Jia obviously works in an office, and the cafeteria staff do not have to work in the fields either.
In this case, there are only more than a hundred people who actually work in the fields. On average, each person has more than ten acres of land.
Wow, you can see the workload!
Yu Jiahui
Then ask:
"With so many people, should we also divide them into groups, like Group 1 or Group 2?"
Jia Song shook his head:
"No, our farm is organized as a military corps and managed like a military unit. Each company has platoons and squads. Ten people form a squad, and three squads make up a platoon. Our Eighth Company has six platoons and twenty squads."
Yu Jiahui nodded repeatedly and asked:
"Then which platoon and class will I be assigned to?"
"I can't make the decision on this. I'll arrange it for you when Captain Yang comes back."
"oh oh."
After eating in the cafeteria, Jia Song arranged accommodation for them.
The company's housing supply is very tight and there aren't many vacant houses, so after asking around, we found that there was only one place with vacant housing.
But that house was shared with another family.
There are three main rooms, one family lives on the left and the other lives on the side.
In other words, two families live in one house.
The most important thing is that there is not even a decent door in the room, only a straw curtain as a cover. Whatever is said in one room can be heard clearly in the other room.
Yu Jiahui, Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye all shook their heads when they saw it.
The whole family agreed that they must have their own house.
Not only do their ocean spaces need to be kept secret, but they simply cannot accept living with others for long periods of time.
Jia Song said:
"There's no other choice but to stay. Alternatively, you can go to the single dormitory. There should be bunks available. In that case, your family of three will have to separate. It's up to you to decide."
