Chapter 204: She almost named you as my second sister-in-law
Guo Xiuqin did not follow Feng Si and the others to see the old canteen, but stayed to talk to Shen Meng about some follow-up matters. If it was really like going to work, then they would really need to put in the effort to set up some good systems!
Seeing that they were about to talk, Lu Zhenping put all the things Feng Si brought into the cupboard, grabbed a box of biscuits and went out with the children.
"Xiao Meng, Daya's mother is among the first batch of people. Didn't you recommend her to work in the county? How could she have the time to do this?"
"She should be given special care. She only needs to do the work during the day. The hospital has an early dinner, and she can come back in Uncle Guai's ox cart. Just let her take the materials home. You only need to know about this, and don't tell others. Just tell her. Oh, by the way, it doesn't matter if you are from our village. When you are free, you can also visit several nearby villages. They are all from the same commune. As long as you have good character and are trustworthy, you can come. Now it's just the head flowers. There will be other things later. When the number increases, we will need more workers, especially those who are good at embroidery. They are talents, and we need more people."
Guo Xiuqin: “.”
She almost called you her second sister-in-law. Su Xiaomei's embroidery skills are among the best in the surrounding villages, but everyone is working in the countryside, fighting to earn more work points, and no one has the time to embroider flowers and plants.
"Aunt, if you have such a talent in your family, you must send him here. I am going to make some embroidered hairbands and flowers and give them to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the provincial capital for free. I will give away 200 of them. Of course, the communes will pay for them."
Guo Xiuqin immediately understood Shen Meng's intention. Embroidery takes time and is definitely more expensive, but as long as it is popular, orders will continue to come in.
Shen Meng gave Guo Xiuqin the schedule she had previously prepared.
"Materials should still be distributed uniformly, and team leaders should check carefully when working. If anyone is found hiding needles, thread, brain cloth, or rubber bands, they should be punished."
No one said what happened afterwards, but Guo Xiuqin understood in her heart that although they hired someone to make hair ornaments in order to provide some support to the poor and suffering women, she didn't believe that no one would secretly take a piece of these good things home, such as scraps of cloth and defective cloth.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this. If women from several villages are together, and if the one from one village is not clean, I will definitely find their village head and party secretary and have a good talk with their whole family."
"Oh, by the way, I asked someone to get some auxiliary materials. They are cheap. I can't tell you about them. I'll show them to you. If they are suitable, Director Guo will pay me separately."
Guo Xiuqin: "Okay."
What could she say? What else could she say? She just heard that someone asked for benefits for her. By managing this workshop, she would get an extra fifteen yuan a month in salary. Fifteen yuan, what does that mean? Besides, the hair ornaments and the like were all designs that Shen Meng came up with. If her auxiliary materials were not used and the designs were just ordinary, would people in the big city be interested in them?
Shen Meng had no choice. In order to avoid being bored, she had collected a lot of materials for DIY hairpins and hair ornaments. Wasn't now a good time to make some?
Anyway, if you need it in the future, you can just place an order with a large manufacturer outside. As long as you need a large quantity, the factory will be very welcoming. After all, who can resist having a lot of money?
Only after this matter is settled can she really do what she wants to do. After all, the food in the space is about to overflow. If she doesn't take it out to digest it, she will have to build a warehouse.
The canteen was renovated very quickly. Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei went to Lujia Village every day to make hair ornaments. Not only could they earn some pocket money, but they could also see their son every day.
Xiaolong is now also learning carpentry from Lu Jiasheng. When he comes to visit, he carries large and small bags of luggage, as well as some gifts for becoming a disciple. Shen Meng did not tell Lu Qinlan about these, but as a mother, she naturally knows what is going on.
Shen Shoutian and his family of three came with their things. Xie Jinghao ran to buy a chicken to entertain them and asked Lu Zhenping to accompany the guests. Shen Meng did not participate in this. She carried her backpack and went to work. Shen Meng drove Uncle Guai's ox cart early in the morning and went to the county town with Yu Xueli. Wu Xianglan also packed up and wanted to go with them, but Shen Meng did not let her, saying that she would go to work two days later. Wu Xianglan was only happy that she had two more days to stay at home with her children and did not ask anything else.
When they arrived at the county town, Uncle Guai gave Shen Meng and Yu Xueli ten cents each.
"It's the first day of work, good luck, keep it, it's a gift from me, an old man."
Yu Xueli wanted to refuse, but Shen Meng held her hand and said to Uncle Guai happily, "Thank you, Uncle Guai. Then Xueli and I will go back first. We may be late in the afternoon. Remember to wait for us!"
"It's a simple matter, just go and do your work. When you get to work, remember to say good things to others. If you have any problems, go to your leader and don't get bullied."
"Hey, I see."
Shen Meng took Yu Xueli and waved to Uncle Guai, and hurried towards the county hospital. The two of them ran out of breath and finally arrived at the county hospital at 7:30. Cheng Yufen was already waiting there.
"Sister Cheng, this is Yu Xueli. She will be working in the hospital cafeteria from now on. Please take good care of her!"
"Hello, Comrade Yu. I'm Cheng Yufen. I'll take you to the cafeteria in a bit. It's not a hard job. Don't worry. If you run into any trouble, come find me. Your leader is also a straightforward person and easy to get along with."
"Hey, Dr. Cheng, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you."
Shen Meng saw that Yu Xueli was still a little embarrassed. Even though she was still a little worried, she didn't say anything. She had already been brought to the county town, and it was up to her how she would go on from then on.
"Okay, Sister Cheng, I have to go to work at 8 o'clock, so I'll leave now. I have something else to do at noon. We can have a good chat later when we have time!"
"Okay, okay, just go quickly. Comrade Yu is in the hospital, don't worry."
Shen Meng nodded, and just as she was about to tell Yu Xueli something, the latter held Shen Meng's hand and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm already so old, not a child. I'll just do my own thing. If something really happens, I'll go find the leader. If the leader doesn't care, I'll find Doctor Cheng. There's always someone to talk to."
"Okay, I'll leave first."
Shen Meng took out a small bag of fruit candy from her bag and stuffed it into Yu Xueli's pocket. Naturally, her intention was to ask her to build good relationships with people. This kind of fruit candy was bought by her at the supply and marketing cooperative. It was not worth much money, but it was also an attitude. Anyone who was attentive would understand what Yu Xueli meant.
After separating from the two people, Shen Meng hurriedly found a deserted place, took out a bicycle from the space, and rode to the bus company. She showed her ID and work permit and went straight into the office.
