Chapter 26: Filling the Teeth
This was half done, and Lu Yan and Liu Qingqing strolled back.
"Sister Lu, there's no place to stay here at the grain station, right?"
Lu Yan stopped and said, "Oh, look at me, I didn't think of this. I'll ask for you after the changes are made and the other side is finalized."
After thinking for a while, Lu Yan added: "There must be a place, don't worry, there are many houses at the grain station."
Liu Qingqing nodded repeatedly in thanks.
After walking for a while, Lu Yan found that the place was spacious and empty, so she lowered her voice and said, "Sister, I have to exchange some tickets with you this month."
"Oh, no problem."
This means you can make money.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention it again and went directly to Lu Yan's house.
Liu Gaihong and her husband went to Director Shao's house that day.
Director Shao didn't have any ideas about choosing a replacement, as his family had basically made good arrangements.
There's no need to worry about such an informal job.
However, several of his subordinates had mentioned it to him privately.
They are all grain station employees, who should be given the job and who should not be given the job?
It just so happened that Liu Gaihong found a job for herself. I heard that she used to work in a scrap yard.
He didn't have to bother and got two bottles of wine.
He agreed with a wave of his hand.
————————————————————
On the day they left the scrap yard, Guo Xiuhua and the others were still a little reluctant.
Especially Lao Liu and Lao Xu.
After Xiao Liu left, their lives became less comfortable.
I have to take turns on night duty again.
It's easy to handle a temporary resignation at the scrap yard, and Director Li is quite satisfied with it.
Unlike other temporary places, once you come, don't think about getting rid of them.
The girl was quite happy to handle the formalities.
A few days later, Director Shao of the grain station took the opportunity of a meeting to mention the temporary construction of the scrap station.
The purpose is also to see this person's character.
Director Li had no idea about this, but it did not stop him from praising Liu Qingqing.
The child is good and will not cause him any trouble.
Later I found out that he was taking over the shift at the grain station.
He had a dull look on his face, no wonder he left so easily, he must have found his next buyer.
That was his misunderstanding.
After hearing Director Li's evaluation, Director Shao was also satisfied. A temporary staff member who was a shift worker for a few months could be remembered and praised by the leader. He was a good comrade.
Every grain purchasing season, the grain station needs a lot of temporary help.
It's hard when you let go.
Hug his thighs and cry poor.
Director Shao nodded, Liu Gaihong found a good person.
…
It's not time for Liu Gaihong to take her maternity leave yet.
However, Liu Qingqing still took up her post ahead of time.
The work here is much more complicated than at the scrap yard, and it's also busier.
She has to study in advance.
Liu Qingqing carried her bedding roll into the grain station.
Liu Gaihong had been waiting for her for a long time: "Sister, why are you here just now? Come with me."
"The scrap yard is a bit far from here." Liu Qingqing pretended to be shy.
As they were talking, the two of them went straight to Director Shao's office.
The formalities were handled smoothly, and the accommodation issue was raised for Liu Gaihong.
Director Shao had a good impression of Liu Qingqing, so he made accommodation convenient for her.
There were also several empty rooms at the back of the grain station, which were used to store grain when it was time to pay the public grain tax.
At this time, it is all idle.
It was a temporary one, so it wasn't his turn to take care of it himself.
"Xiao Liu, lead the people to the rear warehouse." Director Shao gave the order and sent the two away.
The two thanked Director Shao repeatedly, said a lot of polite words, and then left the office.
There was a row of houses in Houcang, and Liu Gaihong just picked one in the middle.
"This room is in the middle and is a little warmer. To prevent moisture, wooden boards are installed in the room. You just need to put your bedding there. There is also a door bolt in the room. You can hang it at night." Liu Gaihong pointed to the hook inside the door.
Liu Qingqing nodded and said, okay, the conditions are worse than those at a scrap yard.
It was still cold, and there was no stove or anything.
There is a large storage room inside the house.
The advantage is probably that the house is spacious enough.
As usual, the sample bedding was opened and laid out.
This is the old actor.
Liu Gaihong: "We have a canteen at the grain station. I'll take you there at noon. What are you wearing an apron for now?"
"Excuse me, Sister Liu."
"You're welcome. Let's go."
After receiving two sets of white aprons, white sleeves and a front cap, I got dressed and prepared to go to work.
Following Liu Gaihong into the grain hall, not far from the entrance was a row of large boxes filled with various grains and several large oil drums.
A row of waist-high wooden counters divides the hall into two halves.
On the counter were forms, ink boxes, and scales.
The smell in the room was very complex, a mixture of various grain smells, a strong smell of sacks, and the smell of carbon paper and ink.
I followed Liu Gaihong to her position, which was close to the wall.
The staff at the grain station store are almost all women.
After greeting a few people next to me, I started listening to Liu Gaihong's explanation.
When buying food, one must bring a food book, which records the family's food ration and purchase details.
Except for those who work in labor-intensive jobs and special agencies, who have high rations, ordinary people have a ration of 27 kilograms of food.
There is also two taels of sesame oil available.
Thirty percent of the grain ration was fine grain, but some families did not have enough to eat, so they replaced the fine grain with coarse grain.
At this time, all the coarse grain stamps should be stamped on it.
Want to trade coarse grains for fine grains?
That's impossible.
After completing the previous steps, you still need to record the purchase information in a table.
Then weigh it and pour it into the bag prepared by the other party.
The grain station doesn't provide bags, so if you don't bring any, you'll have to go back empty-handed.
In short, it is a very complicated set.
Now the only grain left from the grain station at the end of the month is sorghum and bran.
The rest of the food was sold out more than ten days ago.
It can be said that it is a relatively leisurely period of time.
It was because Liu Gaihong was busy during that period that she wanted to work until the next grain distribution.
When the grain station is busy, you can be so busy that your arms are sore, and when it's slow, you can feel anxious.
"Wait until someone comes, then you try it, and I'll watch from the side." Liu Gaihong explained it briefly and found that she understood it very quickly.
But this wait lasted the entire morning.
No one came at lunch time.
The grain station canteen adheres to the principle that a place selling grain cannot be worse than the canteens of other units.
The steamed buns are very filling and the dishes are oily.
The price is similar to that of other units, about one yuan per meal is enough.
Meat dishes are another matter, but they rarely appear.
Only one pig is slaughtered a day in the entire Wuning Town.
The pork from this head of pork will be sold to grocery stores and state-owned restaurants.
There are only so few people in the town with tens of thousands of people. It's not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth.
If there were meat or vegetables in the grain station canteen, people would fight for them.
