Chapter 80 Slap in the face
"What?" Upon hearing that, Jia Dongxu immediately sat up.
But he forgot that he had been in great physical condition during this period, and suddenly his waist was twisted.
"Ouch!" Jia Dongxu's face turned pale and he covered his waist with his hands.
Qin Huairu hurried forward to check.
It was just a stitch in the side. Jia Dongxu twisted his body twice and also hissed twice.
Jia Dongxu asked: "Did you see it clearly?"
"Yeah, I just went out to fetch some water and happened to come across it. It's not new." Qin Huairu lowered her head and rubbed Jia Dongxu's waist, but answered casually.
In fact, she was always envious in her heart.
She originally thought that a sewing machine was something that could be used, and she was very happy when her master and his wife gave it to her.
She thought she could find her own value in the city with the mediocre skills she had learned.
Well, to put it bluntly, it means making clothes for others.
But these days, poor families either wear work clothes or sew their own clothes by hand.
Rich people naturally can't see her skills. She doesn't run a shop to do business, so who would hire her?
After the sewing machine came into the Jia family, it was used for nothing except mending Jia Dongxu's clothes a few times and sewing a few urine cocoons for itself (to pad the bed).
At this time, Qin Huairu naturally did not think that the Yi family did it on purpose, and thought that she had made the wrong choice.
If she chose a bicycle, Jia Dongxu would take her back to her parents' home and say that it was bought by his family. How glorious would that be?
But what Qin Huairu didn't know was that even if Jia Dongxu wanted a bicycle at that time, Luo Qiaoyun would coax him to change his mind.
Since the Yi family wants to control the young couple, they will not give them the tools to expand their social circle.
Jia Dongxu thought for a while, but shook his head and said: "Shazhu can't afford it. Although He Daqing left him some money, look at the life they have been living recently. They buy skirts worth tens of thousands of yuan at will, and there is meat in the house every week. How can they have so much money?
I guess someone lent it to him?"
When Qin Huairu smelled the aroma of meat, she swallowed subconsciously.
She said, "If we had known earlier, we should have bought a bicycle. It would have been more convenient for us to visit mom."
Qin Huairu was very skillful in her words. She did not mention anything about going back to her parents' home to gain face, but instead talked about visiting Jia Zhang.
Jia Dongxu held his head in his hands and lay back on the bed, but he sighed with a feeling of something else.
He wants a bicycle too!
Qin Huairu asked again: "Dongxu, Master's wife has been a little lukewarm towards me recently. Did I do something wrong and offend her?"
Qin Huairu had wanted to tell me about her test a long time ago.
When the matchmaker introduced her to the Yi family, she said that the Yi family had agreed to merge the two families into one.
As a result, she really got married and received two red envelopes of 100,000 yuan each on the day of worshiping heaven and earth.
Nothing else.
Although the couple's life is better than others in the village, it is still not as good as that of their neighbors in the yard.
People's eyes always tend to look up, that is, to see where other people are better than themselves.
I won’t even look at those whose conditions are worse than my own.
In fact, the Jia family's life was pretty good. It was because the house was empty and they had just gotten married, so life was a little tight. But in fact, it was much better than those who had no food to eat.
But Qin Huairu couldn't see those people.
She saw that the Xu and Liu families in the backyard and the He family in the middle yard were all living better than she and her husband.
For example, since he got married, Jia Dongxu has only bought meat once, which was three taels.
It’s still for the purpose of making oil.
Half of the diced meat was given to Jia Zhang.
The rest, of course, was for Jia Dongxu's health. Qin Huairu was not afraid of hardship, and she had been doing it since she was a child.
But this kind of life was too different from her ideal city life.
This is normal. With Qin Huairu's knowledge, the city people she has met are just those who married into the city earlier than her, and she only sees their most glamorous side.
Just like when Qin Huairu went back to her parents' home, she also wore new clothes and new shoes. She had never tasted meat in the city, but she boasted about the luxury and deliciousness of those big restaurants.
She didn't even realize that the things she boasted about made the girls around her family want to marry into the city.
Life is like this. Strip away the glamour and splendor, and you will find out only how warm and cold it is.
When Jia Dongxu heard Qin Huairu talking about the Yi family, his face also became gloomy.
He didn't say anything for a long time, knowing full well that Yi Zhonghai had been waiting for him to bow his head.
But Jia Dongxu doesn't want that for the time being.
To put it bluntly, it's just the affectation of young people.
He admitted that Yi Zhonghai had done him a favor, but Jia Dongxu also believed that he should have an independent personality and should not be controlled by others.
So when Jia Dongxu's affairs at home were almost settled, he really didn't feel that he still needed a "father" to give him instructions.
Jia Dongxu said impatiently: "If she wants to be close to you, our family will not drive her out.
If he thinks that he is treating us like servants just because we did him a small favor, wouldn't it be better for us to just stay at home and live our own lives? "
Qin Huairu sighed upon hearing this, but she was powerless. After all, Jia Dongxu was the head of this family.
But Jia Dongxu was soon slapped in the face by himself. The matter was simple: he felt a sense of crisis.
This matter was caused by the working group.
What He Yuzhu saw was that Manager Hu was handed over to the working group by Lou Bancheng as a feast, but he did not see that what Lou Bancheng handed over was not only Manager Hu, but also the real management rights of the steel mill.
From that day on, Lou Bancheng truly submitted to the working group. He no longer thought about gaining a say in the factory, but instead cooperated with the working group's arrangements.
The intricacies of the situation there were beyond the understanding of an ordinary person like He Yuzhu. Anyway, He Yuzhu only knew about the current steel mill, and Lou Bancheng seldom came here.
The first issue that the working group rectified was discipline.
Things like queuing in the cafeteria and signing in and out of get off work are all small things.
But the investigation into the technology left Jia Dongxu dumbfounded.
For example, in the original steel rolling mill, there was no problem with the work grade at all.
Usually it's the foreman who will see how well you have done the work and then decide your salary based on your skills and your taste.
For example, Yi Zhonghai speaks more nicely than Liu Haizhong, so his salary has always been higher than Liu Haizhong.
Well, both of them are masters. Liu Haizhong got 55 (55 yuan) and so did Yi Zhonghai. But at the end of the year, Yi Zhonghai always got more than yuan more in the red envelope than Liu Haizhong.
When the previous working group came in, there were many times when "the wolf is coming", which means that the working group will re-evaluate everyone's technical level and then pay everyone according to the level.
This is the eight-level worker system that is well known to later generations.
This was learned from the Russians' seven-level worker system after DB was liberated.
