With the bonus as a driving force, the workshop workers' enthusiasm for learning has reached an unprecedented high, especially the female workers in the weaving workshop, who are working very hard.
Although the new society believes that women hold up half the sky, it is difficult for people to completely change their mindsets at once, so female workers will work harder to prove themselves.
They are not only doing it for the bonus, but more importantly to prove their abilities and to prove that women are not bad.
A month later, the factory office and the trade union jointly sent people to the workshop to conduct random checks on the learning results.
The results were surprising: there were nine women and only one man in the top ten.
When the results were posted, the streets were deserted and everyone gathered in front of the public column, eagerly waiting.
When everyone found out that the top ten were basically women, the female workers burst into enthusiastic applause. They held their heads high and chests puffed out, tears in their eyes, and were extremely proud.
The men were extremely silent. They felt ashamed, but more of a mental shock.
It turns out that women are not only good at giving birth to children, but their work ability is no worse than men. They have deeper thoughts about future relationships between men and women.
This is a good change and a qualitative improvement, and the status of women is also improving.
Director Ling personally awarded bonuses to the top ten winners, and he was deeply moved by the impact of this incident.
Chairman Mi also awarded them certificates of advanced individual and announced that the list for professional title evaluation at the end of the year would be selected from among the ten of them.
Chairman Mi’s words made everyone even more excited and they were simply overjoyed.
The rest of the people regretted it very much. If they had known that they could be selected for professional titles, they would have worked hard.
However, this move directly increased the workers' enthusiasm for work, and the factory's efficiency increased several times.
Ma Changzheng has been walking with a breeze these days, greeting people happily when he meets them, and is in a very good mood.
"Xiao Li, you completed the mission very well this time. Keep up the good work!"
Facing the encouragement from his leaders, Li Hongru responded positively:
"Don't worry, leader. I will continue to work hard and thank the minister for his trust."
"Haha, no problem. Young people should be bold and daring. Come on!"
After being busy for more than a month, Li Hongru finally had time to stop and have a good rest.
On a finally-come-true day off, Li Hongru wanted to take Zhang Weifang out for a walk, but was stopped at the door by his second brother.
"Second brother, what's wrong?"
"Third brother, something happened at home, and Dad asked us to go back."
"Okay, let's go."
Zhang Weifang had nothing to do at home, so she went back to her husband's house.
As soon as I got back, I found that the atmosphere in the Li family was not very good. No one spoke. Li Guifang was puffing on his pipe, and Ma Shulan had a gloomy face.
"Dad, what happened at home?" Li Hongru asked as he parked his bicycle.
With a "click", the bamboo curtain of the bedroom was opened and Li Hongqin walked out with red eyes.
Everyone came into the house one after another, found a place to sit, and waited for Li Guifang to speak.
"That kid Wang Chunfeng came to propose marriage today."
"What? Hongqin, what's going on?" Li Hongru got angry when he heard this.
In fact, this matter is not entirely Li Hongqin's fault. In the past few months, she has been busy in the fields and worked herself to death, and gradually forgot about Wang Chunfeng.
Wang Chunfeng, who had sensed that there was something wrong with his relationship, immediately took action to eliminate the root of the problem. Today, he knelt down in front of Li Guifang in public, crying and saying:
"Uncle, Hongqin and I are truly in love. I know my family isn't well off, but I promise I'll work hard to give Xiaoqin a good life."
Li Hongqin was so frightened at the time that she was speechless. She had never expected that the person she liked would do this.
Li Guifang was furious and wanted to beat the man out on the spot, but he finally suppressed his anger and said:
"You go back first. If Hongqin really wants to marry you, I won't stop you."
Wang Chunfeng knew when to stop, said a few more nice words and left.
The neighbors were not afraid to watch the fun and started to gossip in front of Li Hongqin:
"Oh my, it turns out Hongqin has taken a fancy to Wang Chunfeng. What a good eye!"
"Yeah, isn't free love popular now? It's really different."
There were even more dirty words that made Li Hongqin collapse. She didn't know who to blame. She just fell in love with someone, so why did everyone say that to her?
And what about Wang Chunfeng? Why did he come to her house without her consent? Her family had clearly agreed before.
In this situation, everyone can see clearly that Wang Chunfeng deliberately wants to ruin Li Hongqin's reputation so that she has to marry him.
But Li Hongqin felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. She didn't want to believe this fact. She would rather believe that Wang Chunfeng did this because he loved her.
"Everyone, please express your opinions!" Li Guifang looked at his daughter and had given up on her.
"Dad, let Hongqin tell us what she thinks first." Li Hongru still hoped that his sister could have her own ideas.
"Third brother, didn't you agree that if I could hold on for three months, you would let me get married?"
"Yes, so you have decided to marry her now?"
"Brother, things have already come to this, what can I do?"
In fact, Li Hongqin was also conflicted and wavering in her heart, and she herself could not explain her thoughts clearly.
"Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and the most important thing is a person's character. But Wang Chunfeng...look at what happened today, and think for yourself!"
Li Hongxi didn't want to say much, but he still held a glimmer of hope for his only sister.
After talking for a long time, the general meaning was to respect Li Hongqin's choice.
After the matter was settled, everyone left, leaving only Zhang Weifang. Seeing that the mission was about to fail, she had to try one more time.
"Hongqin, have you agreed on the betrothal gift? How much is it? And do you have to live in the same house with his parents after you get married?"
"It will definitely be inconvenient then, but you'll get used to it slowly. They're all Wang Chunfeng's relatives anyway, so you just have to keep your voice down in the bridal chamber."
"Hey, why am I telling you this? You'll know later. By the way, when are you planning to have a baby? I think it's better to have a baby sooner rather than later. The sooner you have the baby, the sooner you can recover."
"But wouldn't it be a bit messy for three generations of you to live together? But since you love Wang Chunfeng so much, you'll definitely adapt. At worst, you can just sleep on the floor."
"I don't know what the food is like at his house. It's dangerous to get pregnant if you don't eat well. Your third brother feeds me meat and eggs every day to nourish my body. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get pregnant."
“…”
As Zhang Weifang chattered on and on, Li Hongqin felt even more confused. She had never thought about it so much, but she also didn't want to live in the same house with her in-laws after marriage.
