Benefiting the villagers
Given the current atmosphere and the ages of the two people, Wang Shuitao was quite wary. After getting her food, she originally wanted to share a table with an acquaintance.
Strictly avoid situations where the two are alone together.
Upon closer inspection, Meng Songying had already found a spot and was sitting with Factory Director Sun and Li Yuanhong. After waving to her to indicate where she was, she came over to take the plate.
Today's breakfast was shredded radish and vegetable dumplings. With the decrease in sugarcane production, sugar residue foods are becoming increasingly rare in the canteen.
After the meal, Wang Shuitao took out the wooden box directly from the canteen and showed it to Director Sun. In the end, because the factory needed a small quantity and the manpower could handle it, it was decided to contract the task of making the outer packaging to Wangjiazhuang Brigade.
Of course, it also had a lot to do with the fact that the simple carved wooden box from the lumber mill cost four mao, while Wang Shuitao promised to only charge three mao and five fen.
And on the spot, it was decided to entrust the matter to Wang Shuitao.
Wang Shuitao was not surprised that the cooperation was with the entire Wangjiazhuang brigade; the fact that Director Sun didn't mention contacting the commune was already a favor.
After making the decision, Director Sun told her to find Master Zhang, who could drive a tractor.
Before leaving, Wang Shuitao patted her bag one last time and said solemnly, "I will read it carefully, thank you."
Before she could turn around, Meng Songying quickly hummed in agreement.
Li Yuanhong had a lot to do today, so she arrived at the office half an hour early with a confident air.
Factory Director Sun asked with a hint of gossip, "What are you looking at?"
Meng Songying: "Study."
Factory Director Sun was filled with respect. Having a secure job, he still insisted on learning; he was truly a very motivated young man.
He admitted that he was inferior to him.
Mr. Zhang was also assigned a family room. When Wang Shuitao knocked on the door, she caught a glimpse of a person hiding in the corner of her eye.
He suddenly turned around, frowned, and looked around but couldn't find it.
Now she no longer doubted that she had seen it wrong.
"Hey girl, who are you looking for?"
A woman had already opened the door and was standing in the doorway asking questions.
Wang Shuitao had no choice but to give up the search and turned to reply, "Sister, the factory manager sent me to find Master Zhang."
The woman blushed slightly, stepped aside, and said, "Then please come in quickly."
He called inside again, "Old Zhang! Old Zhang, come out quickly, someone is looking for you."
After the three of them sat down, Wang Shuitao said, "Master Zhang, I'll have to trouble you to take me to Wangjiazhuang."
Mr. Zhang readily agreed and continued, "I'll drop you off at Wangjiazhuang first, then I'll go take care of some business. I'll pick you up around dinnertime after I'm done."
Wang Shuitao said she understood.
Seeing that the two were in a hurry to leave, the woman, Zhao Juan, who was Zhang's wife, asked what had happened at the door earlier.
"Oh, I saw a figure last night, and I saw another one just now, but they disappeared very quickly. It's not that they walked fast, but I always felt like they were hiding."
Wang Shuitao answered readily, saying that it was a good thing that more people knew and were on guard early on.
Zhao Juan exclaimed in surprise, "So, last night, Da Nan also said she saw a stranger in the residential area. I thought it was a relative visiting."
Now that the wild vegetables are old and the grain is almost gone, many poor relatives come to borrow money.
After all, sugar factory workers are always better off.
She didn't take it to heart when her own daughter said so yesterday, but now that the adults are saying the same thing, she's starting to worry.
Could it be a thief scouting the place?
Wealthy areas are also prone to theft.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuitao proposed an adventurous idea: tonight, when she returned, they would stage a scheme to lure the snake out of its hole.
Before she could elaborate on her grand plan, Zhao Juan vetoed it.
Her arms are so thin the bones are sticking out, what's going on?
She knew Wang Shuitao; everyone in the factory knew about the new candy they were making, and she used to just think this girl was promising.
Now she seems as reckless as her five-year-old daughter.
No, even her youngest daughter knows to keep her distance from strangers instead of approaching them.
Wang Shuitao could only regretfully give up, saying, "Alright then, goodbye sister, wait for us to come back."
She needs someone's help now, so she has to be sweet-talking.
Zhao Juan's face started to burn again. She had never known that being called "Sister Zhao" was so different from being called "older sister."
After instructing Lao Zhang to take good care of Taozi on the way, Zhao Juan thought for a moment and then went to the security office to say something.
Even if it's a false alarm, it's better than discovering something but failing to stop it.
When the tractor went over the bumpy road, Wang Shuitao would laugh and be bounced up. This was the first time she had ever ridden in a vehicle like this.
There was a strong diesel smell, but I didn't get carsick, probably because it was outdoors.
Wang Shuitao pondered, "Could this be considered a convertible?"
Mr. Zhang had never seen his wife's shy expression before, even when they were newlyweds. She seemed hesitant to speak while driving.
When asked, she said it was nothing.
Wang Shuitao stopped paying attention to him, and after waving goodbye at Wangjiazhuang, she went straight to the brigade leader's house.
It was still late morning, and there were a few people at the brigade leader's house: a toothless old lady sitting outside in the sun, a child of three or five years old, and a pregnant woman.
The villagers, who see each other all the time, were also happy to see Wang Shuitao come in with a big smile.
When asked, Wang Shuitao just mysteriously said that there was something great going on, and then sat down to help peel the corn cobs.
I only stayed here for a short month, but I've already developed the habit of keeping my hands busy, and it automatically kicks in as soon as I get back.
As the aroma of food wafted out, the brigade leader returned, and Wang Shuitao told him that she needed two thousand wooden boxes.
Instantly, everyone around brightened up; the brigade leader's family also had a carpentry apprentice.
The carpenter had trained seven or eight apprentices, and together with himself, there were nine households that could earn money from his work.
Moreover, since the timber belongs to the collective, the brigade will have more money in its accounts, and everyone will be happy when the profits are distributed at the end of the year.
The brigade leader didn't even bother to eat his meal; he rushed to the broadcasting room and announced the good news to the whole village.
A wooden box is worth 35 cents. 25 cents goes to the team, and 10 cents is the labor fee.
It was specifically emphasized that the contribution came from Wang Shuitao of this village.
Now, fewer families are splitting up. There are only 302 households in the village, and the team can get 500 yuan. After the distribution, each family can get nearly two yuan.
Although no money has been seen yet, some people have already started celebrating, generously adding an egg to their lunch for the whole family to eat together.
Privately, the old carpenter was allocated 320 shares. He was old and didn't earn many work points, so he was so happy to have a job that paid 32 yuan. He almost fainted from joy.
That's all the savings his family has; what's the difference between this and getting rich overnight?
As people age, their minds also grow old, and they should kneel down before their benefactors.
Startled, Wang Shuitao screamed in a broken voice, "What are you doing!"
Fortunately, the captain caught him. He was more experienced and scolded, "Kneeling down to people is a big mistake. If it happens again, I'll arrest you and make you do hard labor. The wooden boxes will be distributed to others to make!"
At least we managed to persuade them to stop.
The other eight people each received 210, and there were also 21 pieces. They all gathered around Wang Shuitao and said she was promising.
He's the most successful person in the whole village!
It's not that no one has left the countryside, it's just that becoming a worker is already quite an achievement. The only one who has truly given back to the village is Wang Shuitao.
