In this way, Chen Yan returned to the Chen family, accompanied by Pomegranate and Chen Fei, but she did not look lonely.

Xin Hao called back two days after she arrived at Chen's house, and he called the paper mill to report his safety.

Chen Zhong sent someone to send a letter to the Xin family to reassure them, and when he went back, he also told Chen Yan that Chen Yan was somewhat relieved, as long as they were safe all the way.

In this way, Chen Yan stayed in Chen's house, and after a few days, she would go back to Xin's house to see the old man over there, and she would go back to Chen's house if there was nothing to do.

Of course, she will also go to the paper mill every day, walking, she is not in a hurry, walking slowly, just as exercise.

The reason why Chen Yan goes to the paper mill every day is because she is afraid that Xin Hao will call.

But even if she went during the day, she didn't meet Xin Hao calling.

It was half a month after Xin Hao's third call, Chen Yan was not there when he called, and Xin Hao asked Chen Zhong to convey that he would call again at about two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

Xin Hao must have encountered something and wanted to ask himself, otherwise he would not have made an appointment, even if he wanted to, he would not, she and Xin Hao had already agreed at that time.

What could it be?

Chen Yan didn't dare to think about it, because she didn't know the situation, and it was useless to think more.

After lunch the next day, Chen Yan went to the factory, and it was only one o'clock when she arrived at the factory, and there was still an hour before the agreed time.

She didn't go to the workshop, afraid that it would not be good if she fell into something, so she went to the open space, which was full of paper.

Speaking of paper edges, there are waste paper, there are scrap corners of factory production, there are also collected paper and books, in short, paper.

Of course, these can't be used immediately, because there are a lot of miscellaneous things in it, such as plastic sheets, fish skin bags, anyway, there are all kinds of them, which are joined by some people or factories in the paper, in order to make more money.

Such things cannot be used, so there needs to be a special person to pick out these things that cannot be used, which is called picking up paper edges. If you have picked up and can use it, you will take it to a place, pour it into pulp when the time comes, and then use it.

Of course, Chen Yan also knows that there is no way to compare the quality of the toilet paper they produce with modern paper, and it may not be qualified in terms of hygiene, but now there is no way, this era is like this, it is good to have such paper.

When Chen Zhong took it back, Wang Niu didn't know how excited she was, you must know that every time Wang Niu came to her body before, she used to sew it with cloth, and it was decorated with furnace ash or something, and it could hold cotton, which was the best. Without all of this, she had even used corn leaves, and now she had toilet paper, which was a good thing for her.

In addition, when it is convenient, some people use soil, and now there is paper, which is unthinkable before, it is a luxury, who will think that the paper is not weak enough, and the hygiene may not be up to standard. Only a reborn person like Chen Yan would know that there was better paper later.

And these people who pick up the paper are all female workers, because women have better patience and work carefully, so it is better to use female workers.

And most of these people have been married, basically around thirty, because people at this age are still relatively energetic, but there are two older ones who pick up paper in the Chen family's paper factory.

Chen Yan also knew that they didn't want to look for the elderly, because they worked very slowly and couldn't keep up with their physical strength, they worked for a day, not half a day for the young, so they didn't want to invite the elderly.

But these two grandmothers are in a special situation.

Grandma Su is sixty-five this year, and her wife died of illness when she was in her forties, and she gave birth to a total of six children, four sons, and two daughters, but only four grew up, three sons and one daughter.

The eldest son fell down while working, and as a result, he was paralyzed, and his daughter-in-law quarreled with him, and one got angry and drank the mouse medicine and died.

The old family also has a daughter, who goes out and rarely comes back, and has no other children.

The second son, when he was young, was jokingly carried and hit a tree, but it didn't hit the place and the wind was shocked, and he was stupid, and then ran out and never came back.

The third son is normal, but a few years ago, because of the drought, their village fought with another village, and he was accidentally hit on the head with a hammer and died.

The two villages have been making trouble for a long time because of this, and the village chiefs and secretaries of the two villages are also very troubled, and finally let the family who killed the person compensate. It's a pity that the family that killed the third son was also poor, and they couldn't get anything, so they could only compensate Grandma Su's family for all the food in the family.

The third daughter-in-law was still young, and when she saw that the man was gone, there was no hope, so she went back to her parents' house, and later got married, but when she left, she left behind her two-year-old son and a four-year-old daughter.

As for Grandma Su's daughter, the life of her mother-in-law's family is also very ordinary, and she herself is not easy, and she is not able to help her mother's family at all.

Grandma Su was left in the house, her paralyzed eldest son, six-year-old grandson and eight-year-old granddaughter.

When the farm is busy, Grandma Su has to lead her grandchildren to harvest crops, plant crops, and go home to cook food for the family. Many times Grandma Su cried in the bed in the middle of the night, but she lived tenaciously during the day, because she was the hope of the family, if she fell, who else could her son, grandson, and granddaughter rely on?

There are some people in the village who are not bad, and they will lend a hand to help them when they are in trouble, and just like that, the days have come over.

The days have passed, but the granddaughter has reached the age of going to school, and the grandson is also fast, the eldest son has always lived like that, there is no money to buy medicine, and the life of the family is becoming more and more difficult, Grandma Su has no money in her hands, she is worried, and she knows that there is a paper mill here, so she comes to try.

She doesn't know if people will use her, even if she is physically tough, but after all, she is old and not as young as a young person.

At that time, Grandma Su said that she could pay less because she could not find a lucrative job anywhere else except here.

Chen Yan and Chen's father saw that she was pitiful, thought about it, and left her.

They let Grandma Su do as much as she can, don't be tired. As for the salary, it must be less for Grandma Su than for young people, because she does less, and if she does the same, it will make others feel unfair.

However, Chen Yan and Chen's father will privately subsidize Grandma Su, and secretly send a red envelope to Grandma Su during the New Year and holidays, or send something to Grandma Su, Grandma Su is very grateful.

As for the other one, she and Xin Hao met the old woman who was stolen money at the supply and marketing cooperative, but she didn't expect that a few years later, the old woman was still very healthy in addition to looking older.

Life at home has always been hard, and she also came with the mood to try it, Chen Yan asked her grandmother when she chatted with her that year, and she was almost seventy this year. At such an age, his health is good, but he still comes out to work, but people can't imagine it.

She remembered what the old lady said: She said that the poor can't get sick, they can't get sick without rights and no capital, and the poor can't be idle, because they have to work hard to live.

Of course, this is not the original words, but she expressed that the poor have the right not to be sick, and if they are sick and have no money to see, they may be waiting for death. You can't be idle, you have to run for life.

Chen Yan felt very uncomfortable, and also accepted the eldest lady, and the treatment was the same as Grandma Su.

The reason why she is like this is because she wants to help if she can, and give the two old people a way to live, which is to give their families a way to live.

But no matter how many people she didn't let Chen's father accept them, after all, they didn't open a good hall, if they got a group of old people in, then they wouldn't want to do anything, in case there was something wrong with these old people, they couldn't say anything.

"Slow down, Grandma Su, slow down, don't worry, let Uncle Liu and them move these later." ”

When she arrived at the place where she picked up the paper, Chen Yan happened to see Grandma Su and Grandma Wang, who were struggling to hold a large pile of picked up paper and were about to go to the pool, so she hurriedly shouted.

"Yanzi is here, you go to the next site, don't touch you. ”

Grandma Su and Grandma Wang put down the edge of the paper.

The rest of the people who picked up the paper looked at Chen Yan and said hello.

At this time, Tie Zhu happened to come over, and when he saw the paper side that Grandma Su and the others put down, he took the initiative to pick it up and hugged it to the other side of the pool.

Tie Zhu helped to finish hugging the paper back and forth a few times, and then smiled at Chen Yan and the others innocently, and left again.

Chen Yan frowned slightly.

"Why do you let Grandma Su hug the side of the paper, what if you fall or twist your waist?"

Chen Yan asked the other four people who were picking up the paper over there.

"Yanzi, it's not that we want them to hug it, this thing is done separately, the former one was hugged by me, yesterday was hugged by your sister-in-law Hongyu, this time it will be Aunt Su's turn, and the latter one is Aunt Wang, one person is very fair for a day. ”

A sister-in-law named Meifeng stood up and said to Chen Yan.

"Yes, Yanzi, we are all picking up paper edges, we do more than the two aunts, they are still two people together, and we don't dislike them slowly. If they can't do it, then don't delay here and go home and rest. If they don't want to do it, there will be many people who want to come in and do it. ”

The sister-in-law named Hongyu also spoke, and she was a little dissatisfied with the two old men.

"That's right, my sister has said a few times that she wants to come in and do it, she is young, she has strength, she gets a salary alone, which is more suitable than the two aunts, Yanzi, do you say yes. ”

Meifeng's sister-in-law said again.

As for the other two people's mouths moved, but they didn't speak, Chen Yan could see that one of them agreed with their words, and the other had unbearable faces, but she didn't speak, obviously she was afraid that Meifeng's sister-in-law would exclude her.

Chen Yan didn't expect them to say this, it is true that the two old men are old, but she and Chen's father have not spoken about the starting salary, what right do others have to say?

Furthermore, Chen Yan also asked, the two old men are not non-working, their bodies are tough, and they usually do not work less, and they are not people who only take money and do nothing.

"Want your sister in?"

Chen Yan asked, her eyes were a little cold, she only found out today that these people were crowding out the two grandmothers.

"Yes, my sister may have done it, Yanzi, if you let my sister in, I will guarantee that I will not suffer. ”

Meifeng's sister-in-law nodded hurriedly and smiled flatteringly at Chen Yan.

"My sister-in-law also wants to come in, she can do it too, Yanzi, see if you can also let my sister-in-law come in. ”

Hongyu's sister-in-law also said.

"There is also my brother's daughter-in-law, Yanzi, my brother's daughter-in-law's house is close, but it is convenient, do you want to bring her to you for a look?"

A sister-in-law named Xiufen also hurriedly fought for it, for fear that Chen Yan would be too late, so she nodded and answered others.

The last one left was nothing.

It's all for the sake of their own people who want to enter the factory so they squeeze out the two grandmothers, the life of the two grandmothers is not easy, they are the hope of the family, Chen Yan really doesn't know why these three people are so ruthless, can't they see others for themselves? Not to mention that the life of these families is not so sad.

When they were first asked to enter the factory, they were not like this, and they were indeed quite capable, but they saw that the conditions here were good, the wages were high, and their hearts were big, so they changed.

This is human nature, always so unsatisfied.

Chen Yan looked at the two grandmothers, their eyes flashed with tears, but they didn't plead. looked at Chen Yan, because they knew that Chen Yan decided their fate, if Chen Yan didn't let them do it, they would have nothing to say, because they were really old, and no one did much, and dying would only make people more annoying. It's just that out of here, where do they go to find a job that can make money?

"Yanzi, either or ......"

Grandma Wang said it twice, but she didn't say the rest.

"Either let's go, we really don't do as much as them, we're old, our arms and legs are useless, you and Nephew Chen let us work for so long, so good to us, we can't die here." ”

Grandma Su said it, although she was also uncomfortable, but she understood the reason and was unwilling to embarrass Chen Yan.

"Where's Sister-in-law Rain?"

Chen Yan didn't answer the words of the two grandmothers, but looked at the last person.

"I, I think Grandma Su and Grandma Wang are very good, they are old, but they work carefully, every time they finish, the two aunts always clean up here. Even if they do less than us, they are paid less than us. Besides, it's not easy for the two grandmothers, I think it's okay to let the two grandmothers do it here, if it's the turn of the two grandmothers to hug the paper, I can help them. ”

Sister-in-law Yu looked at the two grandmothers, she couldn't bear it, she couldn't get over the cut in her heart, and said her psychological words.

The reason why she is called grandma like Chen Yan is because she is one year older than Chen Yan, the youngest among them, and she is also from generations, so although she is about the same age, she is called different.

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there are still people who say fairly, this Aunt Yu's family is not as good as the other three, and there must be people who need to work, but she can say such things, which is good.

"Zheng Yu, it's just rotten kindness, have you forgotten what your brother and daughter-in-law said to you? If you don't help her find a job, she deserves to scold you. It's not that we don't let the two ladies do it, it's Yanzi who said it, she saw that the two ladies couldn't do it anymore and wanted to find a young man. What a mess are you!"

Hongyu's sister-in-law glared at Sister-in-law Chongyu, she had already united with the other two people, and made up her mind to squeeze out the two grandmothers so that they could be replaced by their own family.
