The factory in Hantun Village operates two shifts, with the morning shift starting at 6 a.m. and leaving work at 2 p.m. The evening shift starts at 2 p.m. and leaves at 10 p.m. It is equivalent to doing half a day's work a day, without delaying farm work at home. Rural people are accustomed to getting up early and going to bed late, and they don't delay their rest when they go home.

The biggest advantage of being a worker in Hantun Village is that the salary is high, the monthly basic salary is 60 yuan, and the bonus is paid on a piecework basis, and the monthly salary is less than 80 yuan, and the high one is more than 100 yuan. It is twice as much as the regular wages of the state's regular workers.

Therefore, it is particularly easy for workers working in the Hantun factory to find a partner. Of course, the workers recruited by Hantun Village not only have a certain level of education, but also look good.

The workers of Hantun are rich, good-looking and educated, and the conditions are first-class and good, and they are definitely the golden beetle sons-in-law in the minds of the girls.

However, the workers in Hantun also have one disadvantage, that is, there are no Sundays and holidays, and they have to go to work every day.

None of the workers took Sundays and holidays seriously, and they felt that it was very satisfying to work half a day and be paid more than the regular workers of the state.

The state now stipulates that staff members work eight hours a day off a week, except for holidays.

There are thirteen villages in the Xiangyang Brigade, and there are twelve villages in addition to Hantun, and the population of these villages is more than that of Hantun. One hundred and eighty new workers were recruited, and there were only about 10 people in each village.

This time, Hantun recruited workers, and Zhangji Commune did not allocate any more places, and anyone who meets the conditions can sign up.

The registration location is on the square of Hantun Village, as long as there is a letter of introduction from the village, proving that it is a person from Xiangyang District, and then holding a primary school graduation certificate, you can register.

At the time of registration, the primary selection is carried out by Baojing, and a simple physical examination will be conducted on the spot. This physical examination is really simple, there are three things: measuring height, weight and eyesight. After the primary, the rest are all young and strong stick laborers.

At the end of the two-day registration, more than 500 qualified personnel were qualified, and then a written test was conducted, a simple test question, covering three knowledge: Chinese arithmetic and politics. The content is very simple, and junior high school graduates with good grades can finish it in ten minutes.

After an hour of examination time, half of the personnel did not finish it, and the rest were over 30 years old, and they were all graduates of the turbulent decade. From this point of view, the quality of education in that period was really poor.

The written test is based on the test results, and the admission is from high to bottom, and there is neither a back door nor a favor. The 180 workers recruited this time are generally of high quality, and most of them are junior high school students who have graduated in recent years, and they are on the young side, and more than half of them are unmarried.

There are less than 80 junior high school graduates in Xiangyang Lianzhong in a year, and about 20 are admitted to high school, and most of the rest are hired by Han Tun.

Aunt Hongying's niece Dongmei was also admitted to the instant noodle factory this time.

Han Tun passed the examination to recruit workers this time, which caused a shock in the Xiangyang Brigade. The new workers who were admitted to the university were more proud than those who were admitted to the university, and their relatives and neighbors were also happy, and many people set off firecrackers to celebrate.

The young man who didn't have a partner immediately increased his value, and he was admitted on the first day, and someone introduced him the next day.

People say that workers who are admitted to Hantun are better than those who are admitted to universities. After graduating from college, he was assigned a job, and he didn't earn much money working in Hantun.

In the past few years, land has been contracted to households, and people's enthusiasm for production has increased, but the level of productivity is low, and all farming depends on manpower and livestock.

The standard of living has improved, the dropout rate of children is also high, and after graduating from primary school, they work in the fields, and few go to junior high school. In the first year of junior high school in Xiangyang United Middle School, there were not even enough students from two classes this year, so they were merged into one class.

Starting this year, both junior high and high school have been changed to a three-year system, and people think that six years is too long. Children in rural areas go to school late, children who have graduated from high school are almost 20 years old, they cannot get into college, and farm work is delayed.

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, the proportion of students admitted to the college every year is too low, and Hongcheng County has added a piece of secondary school and junior college every year, and no more than 200 people have been admitted.

There are 18 communes in the county, and only about a dozen students are admitted to each commune, and the admission rate is really low.

The examination fever brought about by the resumption of the college entrance examination has decreased year by year, and people say that candidates are thicker than cow hair, and those who are admitted are thinner than cow horns.

Han Tun's recruitment this time made people begin to pay attention to children's education. After graduating from primary school, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and such a big child couldn't help a lot at home, so it was better to go to junior high school for three years, and after graduation, he could come to Hantun as a worker.

Children who did not go to junior high school were sent back to primary school by their parents to repeat their studies and prepare for the junior high school entrance examination next year. Children who dropped out of school in the third grade picked up their schoolbags again and went to the fourth grade in the outer village.

In small villages, there are only three grades of primary school, and in the fourth grade of primary school, students are taught in neighboring large villages.

This is the alluvial plain of the Yellow River, densely populated, and the villages are generally close to each other, most of them one kilometer. In elementary school, there is no morning reading and evening self-study, and it runs back and forth four times a day, which is not too far for teenagers.

Nowadays, children go to school on their own, and this is the case in rural areas and urban children. It's not like later generations, as long as junior high school students don't live in school, they have to be picked up by a special person.

Han Tun's recruitment this time, not all of them have passed the cultural examination, the 20 workers recruited by the farm and the canteen are recruited through special assessments, and they all have a skill.

Moreover, these 20 workers have to eat and live in Hantun, and they have four days of vacation every month, but they have to apply for leave in advance, and they have to take turns to take vacation.

The newly expanded pig barn has been completed, and at the same time as the expansion, two rows of staff dormitories have been built. Although it is a bungalow, it is also built according to one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, and each house is more than 40 square meters.

The dormitory for the ten employees of the canteen, just behind the canteen, is the same as the dormitory of the breeding plant.

These 20 workers are paid a fixed wage, 80 yuan per month.

Most of these people are around forty years old, and they are all happy to be workers in Hantun by relying on their skills and earning such a high salary. I don't feel inferior to these two jobs, and I don't hate being dirty and tired.

The canteen in Hantun Village can accommodate more than 800 people at the same time, and washing and cleaning are all heavy work.

Especially the workers of the farm, they had only heard of the automated pig farm in Hantun before, but they had never really seen it. Participating in the recruitment is also based on the high salary of the job.

It wasn't until I went to work that I knew that the automated pig farm was so clean and trouble-free. They all said: "When I signed up, I thought that no matter how good the automated pig farm is, it must be dirty and smelly, or it will not be able to pay such a high salary."

When I came, I realized that this automated pig farm was cleaner than our house, and I didn't expect that pig raising could be so easy.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there were only six people in such a large farm as Hantun. ”
