Besides food coupons, there were also oil coupons, etc. It can be said that if you work in a government department, you don't have to worry about coupons; you can get all kinds of coupons.
However, the current salary is less than 10 yuan higher than that of a college graduate in 1965.
Correspondingly, prices have also risen. The national prices for agricultural and sideline products are as follows: rice is 0.142 yuan per jin, cooking oil is 0.80 yuan per jin, pork is 1.01 yuan per jin, carp is 1.08 yuan per jin, live hen is 1.16 yuan per jin, spinach is 0.7 fen per jin, green beans are 0.2 jiao per jin, eggplant is 0.3 jiao per jin, and cauliflower is 0.26 jiao per jin.
Even now, urban enterprise employees who still work under the "eight-grade system" have an average monthly wage of forty to fifty yuan for veteran workers with more than twenty years of service. My own private company pays its workers about the same amount. However, we receive fewer receipts, but we will make up for it in other ways later.
What I didn't expect was that not long after I started working at the company, someone started causing trouble over manual labor.
This story begins with the import of handicrafts from other regions.
"Although we now have better sources of goods, we cannot give up on these handicrafts from the vicinity of Beijing."
However, when the handicrafts are collected this time, we must check them carefully and reject any that do not meet the standards.
Also, we told them that we didn't want the ones that are readily available everywhere. We only wanted the ones with nice embroidered patterns.
We don't want things like these that don't require much technology. Besides, we have nowhere to sell them, and they take up space, you know?"
"yes."
Unexpectedly, while other people who took on manual labor did not raise any objections to this rule, the women in the military family compound dared not do so.
"Comrade Zhou, you really have to talk to your daughter-in-law. Why is mine not good enough?"
"That's right. We've all worked so hard for so long, and now they say it's not up to standard."
"That's right, and they even said they wouldn't accept anything like this anymore. As long as the embroidery pattern is good, isn't that just making things difficult for people? If we knew how to embroider, wouldn't we have opened our own tailor shop long ago?"
"Really? If everyone has complaints, why aren't they coming to me? Why are they coming to my mother here and gossiping about her?"
“Shen Xi’s family, now that you’re back, we’ll just talk to you directly. The reason we’re looking for Comrade Zhou is because we couldn’t find you in the military compound, right?”
"Really? I happen to be free today, why don't you tell me?"
"Then tell me, there's nothing wrong with what I did."
"It's definitely substandard! Look at these stitches, they're not even as good as the dumplings we sew at home!"
"Who are you trying to fool? I've always been like this, and I've never failed a test."
"that is"
"Really? Then why did I have to send someone back to redo it?"
That's your problem.
"It was indeed my responsibility. Since we couldn't find out who submitted it, we didn't investigate. Fortunately, this time we had someone investigate it carefully."
Each time it needs to be redone, since it was all done by the people in our unit!
"What nonsense are you talking about? We didn't do that."
"I also have a list here. I just gave the ones I copied to Director Zhao."
I told Director Zhao that I wouldn't be using the people on the list anymore. I'd already paid them, but now I have to spend extra money to redo it. Isn't this treating me like a sucker?
"this"
"By the way, since everyone is here, let's check this list to see if your names are on it! That will save us the trouble of notifying Director Zhao one by one later."
"this"
"Wouldn't that be wrong? This time, when we handed in our handicrafts, if more than three submissions were deemed unqualified, we didn't give them the materials to make those items."
"That's really true."
"What gives you the right to fire us?"
"Fire them? What a joke! Are you my employees? Did we sign any employment contracts? No, we didn't!"
"you"
"In other words, you have never been my employees, not even temporary workers."
"Go to hell! I've worked for you for over three years, and in the end, I'm nothing!"
"Indeed, it's nothing. We've always settled everything between us. We've never made any promises."
It's like someone going to a match factory to get matchboxes and then pasting them together.
"Go to hell! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because your father-in-law is some lousy division commander. You just wait, I'm going to find the commander and have him settle this with us."
"that is"
"Sure! I'll be waiting anytime."
"Mianmian, won't this cause trouble? They're going to see Director Zhao. Will things still be alright with your factory then?"
"Mom, don't worry. Although my factory is registered under the military, it was approved by the higher-ups. Unless I'm too scared to do anything and let the factory go bankrupt, no one will dare to do anything to me."
Don't forget, my ability to earn foreign exchange for the country every year on my own is something that most people can't match.
And I plan to teach them a lesson, to stop them from being so cunning and lazy.”
How do you plan to treat it?
"Let's talk about it after we move, after the New Year."
"Tell me first, so Mom can be happy too."
"It's nothing, let them earn less for three to five months, and see if they get anxious!"
"You really intend to stop their handicrafts?"
"It's not a plan, it's that I've already heard it."
"Will this have any impact?"
"No, we have plenty of people like them. We were just planning to make an example of them, and here they are. Let's just use them as our starting point."
"Are most of the unqualified submissions from people in the military?"
"About two-thirds!"
"This is ridiculous! I have to go find them!"
When are you going to change your short temper?
"Old Shen, didn't you hear everything?"
"Dad, you're back."
"Sit down. I heard what you were saying. Since that's the case, there's no need to move after the New Year."
I think the day after tomorrow would be fine. The 21st of the twelfth lunar month is auspicious, so shall we move on that day?
"Old Shen, can you really do this? You haven't finished your paperwork yet!"
"It's alright, those who need to move should still move! Otherwise, who knows what kind of chaos this New Year will cause."
"What's wrong, Lao Shen?"
"When they came back, these women comrades were all wondering where the political commissar had gone. They said they wouldn't leave unless their problems were resolved."
"Isn't this just being a scoundrel?"
"Let them have their fun! Let's move quickly, let them find whatever they want, it's none of our business."
"Too"
"Alright then, I'll arrange for someone to go and clean it up tomorrow."
"good"
"Then I'll tidy up at home."
"Um"
