Chapter 111 Finding Another Base
Every time a factory recruits workers, it affects the hearts of thousands of families.
It is precisely because urban jobs are scarce and cannot support so many people that there is a policy of "going to the countryside".
From ancient times to the present, rural areas have always been the basis for China's development.
At Zhou Dazhong's house, the two siblings were listening to their mother talking about the recruitment of workers at the noodle factory. They must have cherished the job.
The chances are great, after all, Zhou Yimin fought for them.
What they have to consider now is how to repay Zhou Yimin's money and favor.
Their mother meant that when Xiaoxue started working, the two siblings would pay back Zhou Yimin 10 yuan every month.
When you first join the company and before you become a regular employee, your salary won't be very high, probably around 18 yuan. Leaving 8 yuan for living expenses should be enough.
That’s 20 yuan a month, so you can pay back 240 yuan a year, which is enough for three years.
720 yuan, is this the price?
Not long ago, they asked the people in the hospital about it. Usually, the market price of a job is about 700 to 800 yuan.
"After you start working, you must work hard. Once you are converted to a regular employee and your work level is promoted, your salary will be higher and things will be easier for you," said Zhou Dazhong's mother.
Not only do you have to pay back Zhou Yimin, you brothers and sisters also have to raise some money for your younger brother, because he will also have to work when he grows up. You brothers and sisters have to prepare the money to buy a job.
"Mom! Don't worry!"
When Zhou Dazhong's mother heard her children's assurances, she was of course relieved, because she knew her own children well.
I dare not say that the education is very successful, but their character and values are correct. At least, she taught her children good traditional virtues such as filial piety and gratitude, and taught them how to be a good person.
Even if she goes to the underworld, she can explain to her husband and the ancestors of the Zhou family.
"the most important is……"
Before his mother finished speaking, Zhou Dazhong said, "Listen to Uncle Sixteen."
"Yeah! That's right!"
Zhou Dazhong's mother nodded with satisfaction.
The next morning, Xiaoxue and her mother had a bite to eat and returned to Zhoujiazhuang. On the way, her mother repeatedly reminded her not to tell anyone about the noodle factory so quickly, so as not to make things difficult for her sixteenth brother.
"Mom! I definitely won't tell anyone!"
……
Zhou Yimin woke up and, as usual, bought the products in the 1-yuan flash sale area first.
Today's is 100 kilograms of barley and 100 kilograms of toilet paper.
Most people have never eaten highland barley, but they must have heard of it.
It is a variety of barley, an annual or biennial herb. Highland barley has a short growing period and is a common food for Tibetans.
For hundreds of years, highland barley was only used in brewing wine and grinding tsampa.
Tsampa is actually fried barley noodles, which is an indispensable part of Tibetans' three meals a day.
Highland barley wine is fragrant and delicious. In addition, it is said that people use "Qiongzha" made from highland barley wine, ghee and honey to treat low blood pressure, with significant results.
Zhou Yimin hasn’t eaten it, so keep it for now!
Toilet paper is good!
During this period, the toilet paper he used was bought from the store in his mind. Although the price was not expensive, it was not cheap either.
For breakfast, Zhou Yimin casually ate two buns, two fried dough sticks, and a cup of soy milk.
"Uncle Sixteen!"
Zhou Yimin nodded to Zhou Dazhong: "Follow me!"
He took Zhou Dazhong to Luo Dapeng's house, where a lot of supplies were piled up, including cooking oil, grain, and meat. Seeing so many supplies, Zhou Dazhong widened his eyes in surprise.
He knew that Uncle Sixteen knew a friend with extraordinary powers, but he still underestimated him.
"Yimin, it's not safe to put everything here!" Luo Dapeng couldn't help but say.
Although he would lock the door every time he went out, and even his family members didn't have the key, it didn't seem like a long-term solution. In his opinion, it would be best to find a secret "base" outside.
Even if someone finds out or sweeps it, it won't implicate anyone.
Zhou Yimin naturally thought of this as well. He nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "You're right. I'll find another base someday."
Luo Dapeng hesitated to speak.
"Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"
Luo Dapeng: "I have a friend whose ancestral home is a small courtyard with a private entrance. I have been there and found that his ancestral home is not only a private courtyard, but also has a basement underneath, which is very suitable for us to use as a base."
Zhou Yimin frowned.
Your friend? Is he reliable?
As if seeing Zhou Yimin's worry, Luo Dapeng explained: "My friend is reliable, and he is planning to leave here and go to the northeast.
I want to sell the ancestral house, but since it’s a little off the beaten track, the price is not high.”
“How much is not high?”
"1000 yuan. I'm familiar with him, so the price should be reduced by 100 yuan," said Luo Dapeng.
"Hearing what you said, it seems like a good idea. Okay! Then you go find him. By the way, when will his family move out?" Zhou Yimin asked again.
It’s great to be able to move to the Northeast.
If we were to say which place in China is not hungry nowadays, the Northeast is definitely one of them. After all, the black soil there is so fertile that even a chopstick can sprout.
In addition, the industry in Northeast China is also very strong now, and it can be said to be the industrial heart of our country.
The title of the eldest son of the Republic is not for nothing. Especially with the discovery and large-scale development of the Daqing oil field, Northeast China will become more prosperous.
"In the next few days! The sooner the better, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to deal with the ancestral home and sell it at a low price." Luo Dapeng really liked that house.
After understanding the situation, Zhou Yimin asked Luo Dapeng to go and talk.
Then, he said to Zhou Dazhong: "Dazhong, don't go to the countryside anymore. The soil in the countryside has been scraped off for many layers. Where is there anything to eat? From now on, you should take the food here and hand it in to the factory every three to five days."
"Okay!" Zhou Dazhong agreed without asking any other questions.
He knew that Uncle Sixteen would not harm him.
Strictly speaking, this is helping him. He doesn't have to go to the countryside to work hard to find supplies, and can easily complete the factory's purchasing tasks and get a regular job as soon as possible.
If this isn't helping him, then what is?
Zhou Yimin likes this kind of people.
"Do a good job and try to get a permanent job in one or two months. Think carefully about what and how much you will get each time." Zhou Yimin could see that although Zhou Dazhong appeared to be honest, he was actually a smart man with a steady personality.
"Uncle Sixteen, I understand!"
After giving these instructions, Zhou Yimin picked up two cured ducks and a 5-jin bottle of rapeseed oil, then turned around and went to the old man's house.
He had something to discuss with the old man, and in fact he had already discussed it with the old man two days ago.
"Auntie, my uncle didn't go to the factory, did he?"
The auntie was overjoyed when she saw Zhou Yimin bringing two cured ducks and a bottle of cooking oil to her house. No need to guess, this must be someone asking her to do something for her, these are all for her family.
"He's here! I was wondering why he wasn't in a hurry to go to work, it turns out he was waiting for you, Yimin." An aunt said with a smile.
I had something to do this morning, so the update is late, sorry!
