Aunt Xu Xiangqin smiled all over her face, took Yu Xihua's hand, patted it for a while, and turned her head to gossip with Grandma Yu, mainly praising Yu Xihua and saying that her nephew was so blessed.
After a burst of praise, Yu Xihua's face turned red with shame, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to, so he could only sit and listen like a quail.
"Auntie, the father of the child in the family cut two catties of meat from the meat factory, and Grandma Xu Zheng meant to call Xihua to go to the house for a meal and recognize the family." Aunt Xu smiled with her eyebrows, and took Yu Xihua's hand a little tighter.
The smile on Grandma Yu's face, who was originally smiling and greeting Aunt Xu, immediately disappeared a little, and before Xu Zheng returned, the woman rushed to the door, which was not good.
"Auntie, don't think about it, just go to eat a homely meal, this is going to be a formal meeting, you and my uncle must go." Aunt Xu is a lot of people, and when she saw Grandma Yu's expression, she knew what she was worried about, and hurriedly explained to Grandma Yu, "Grandma Xu Zheng likes children, and the three Xihua sisters are going to go." ”
Grandma Yu was moved, Yu Xihua had no way to refuse the enthusiastic Aunt Xu, Yu Xiling was insensitive to this kind of light meal, and directly refused.
It's just a meal, just to deal with the Xu family, and it's good to see how they behave.
As a result, as soon as she went out, Aunt Xu pulled Yu Xihua to talk about the recruitment of workers in their tofu factory.
Not everyone who lives in the city has a job, on the street of Shangxitang, most of the female comrades are housewives, and Aunt Xu is no exception, especially her eldest daughter who graduated from junior high school and was not admitted to the technical secondary school, and has been idle at home until now, and has a son who is in high school, and the family burden is really not light.
Hearing that the Yu family was going to recruit workers, Aunt Xu immediately moved, the only thing she is glad about now is that she saw that this matter was done before the recruitment, and with the identity of the future in-laws, it is much easier to talk in the end, and it does not seem so utilitarian.
"Tell my aunt, what are your requirements for this recruitment?"
There are only a few recruitment requirements, and there is nothing mysterious, although Aunt Xu's self-proclaimed self-proclaimed is a little awkward, Yu Xihua still answered honestly, "Be clean and neat, diligent and will come to things, it is best to be over twenty-five years old and have few words." ”
"......" Aunt Xu was choked, this request, her eldest daughter couldn't reach any of them, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "What about the salary?" ”
"The apprentice foreman has no salary for two years, and he has to give the master a gift on the New Year's Day, and he will get his salary after two years, if he just does things, thirty yuan a month, regardless of food and housing." This was all set by Yu Xiling, and Yu Xihua did not mix a little water.
Doing tofu business must be profitable, just look at the living standard of the Yu family, and they have only been in the county for a long time, so they pondered about hiring workers, and asked Aunt Xu to say that it must be an apprentice, and it is better to set up a stall by yourself in the future than to work for others, but in the first two years, she has no salary to do day labor, and she feels that it is too much of a loss, and her family will not be happy.
couldn't make a decision in her heart, so Aunt Xu didn't ask any more, and affectionately pulled Yu Xihua home for a meal, and let her go back.
When Yu Xihua returned home, the first thing she did was to tell Yu Xiling about Aunt Xu's recruitment, Yu Xiling didn't say anything, her recruitment standards would not be lowered because of any twists and turns, Aunt Xu would inquire if she wanted to, as long as she met the requirements, who to recruit was not recruited.
In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people coming to the small courtyard of the Yu family, and many young daughters-in-law have come to the Yu family to work in the middle of the night, and they can rest all day during the day, and they can also get half a worker's salary, no matter how tired they are.
Yu Xiling didn't interfere much in recruiting people, Grandpa Yu was in charge, she was observing on the side, and after two days, she was more optimistic about a daughter-in-law surnamed Zhang on the street, and Grandpa Yu finally told her that it was also this person.
Zhang Xia's family conditions are OK, her father-in-law and husband are both workers, she takes care of her mother-in-law at home with her children, after her mother-in-law passed away the year before last, she concentrated on taking care of the children at home, and now the youngest are in the nursery, and she has nothing to do at home, so she wants to come out to find a job.
Yu Xiling has seen her two children, they have always been cleaned up, unlike other children whose snot rubs their sleeves and necklines are shiny, and she rarely participates when the neighbors gossip and gossip, not the kind of person who talks a lot, the most important thing is that she has great strength, I heard that in the years when her mother-in-law was seriously ill, it was her job to turn over the old man and hug him.
In fact, Yu Xiling just wants to find someone to work, and she has no enthusiasm for taking apprentices, Zhang Xia is adaptable in all aspects, and she doesn't plan to pick it anymore.
was about to settle down, but Aunt Xu pulled her daughter Zhang Dayun to the door.
"Xihua, it's all a family, you can say a few more words for Dayun." Aunt Xu was waiting for Yu Xihua to close the stall and followed her into the courtyard of the Yu family.
Yu Xihua nodded embarrassedly, looked at Zhang Dayun with a reluctant face, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
Seeing her nodding, Aunt Xu only felt that this matter had become the majority, the Yu family had two old and three young, Yu Xihua was the eldest sister, and her opinions were definitely for the two old people to listen to.
Since Aunt Xu's mother and daughter are here to apply, the treatment and requirements naturally have to be explained to others, when she heard that there was a job of thirty-five yuan a month, Zhang Dayun nodded, thinking that the salary was okay, and directly and selectively ignored the apprenticeship, and also left behind her mother's words that she asked her to choose an apprentice.
"What? Go to work at eleven o'clock and leave at five o'clock in the morning? Zhang Dayun looked at Grandpa Yu who explained the situation to her in disbelief, and then at her mother who was unhappy, and immediately shouted at Aunt Xu angrily, "Mom, are you crazy, let me do this kind of work, I won't do it, you love to do it yourself!" ”
After saying that, she just shook her hands and ran, Aunt Xu chased after two steps, and when she saw that she couldn't catch up, she turned back with an embarrassed face, and apologized to Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu, "This child is used to her father, don't worry, I will go back to do her ideological work, and I will definitely let her come to work obediently." ”
"Aunt Xu, you should ask Sister Da Yun's opinion on this matter first, don't force it." Zhang Dayun looks like a kind of child who is more pampered at home, and he can't bear hardship at all, "It's really not easy to make tofu, and ordinary people can't stand it just by pushing the stone mill." ”
Yu Xiling is telling the truth, but Aunt Xu is a little unhappy, is this saying that her family is lazy? "Xiling, your grandfather has to call the shots in this matter, so don't intervene."
"......" Yu Xiling pursed her lips, didn't say much, and sat on the side with a teacup and drank slowly.
"Uncle, my eldest Yun is really a Mali girl, but she is still young, I sent her to be an apprentice, I will scold you when I should scold you, and I will beat you when I should beat you." Aunt Xu looked at Grandpa Yu with a sincere expression.
Yu Xiling puffed out all the tea in one sip, just like Zhang Dayun, and still come to be an apprentice? I think that she was honest and obedient and entered the tofu factory as an apprentice, but she almost couldn't stand it, and she studied optical beans for more than half a year.
"This kid!" Aunt Xu glanced at Yu Xiling with disgust, she couldn't drink any water, she felt that she had no tutor, her eyes swept over Yu Xihua, and she was also full of surprise when she saw her, and frowned unhappily.
Without paying too much attention to Sister Yu Xiling, Aunt Xu continued to look at Grandpa Yu, and when she saw that he raised his hand and wanted to speak, she hurriedly spoke, "Uncle, I will leave it to you, I promise you, she will definitely do a good job." ”
"Da Yun is a good boy." Grandpa Yu hurriedly waved his hand, not daring to let Aunt Xu speak again, he hadn't responded yet, why did he hand over the person to him? He didn't dare to take this responsibility, "Xiling is the master of the tofu factory, and the apprentices recruited can only be accepted when Xiling has the head." ”
Yu Xiling? No way! A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl can make tofu? Can she turn the big stone mill? Aunt Xu subconsciously felt that Grandpa Yu's words were perfunctory to her, and the purpose was not to accept her family.
"Uncle, our family doesn't talk to each other, Da Yun ......" Aunt Xu swept her eyes around, and saw that the expressions of the Yu family didn't look like they were lying, so she turned her gaze back to Yu Xiling, "It's really Xiling?" ”
Yu Xiling nodded, wiped her mouth and put down the tea jar, "It's me." ”
How is this possible! Aunt Xu opened her mouth, she didn't answer for a long time, and when she came to her senses, she wanted to say something more, but looking at Yu Xiling's clear expression, she only sighed in the end, looking at Yu Xiling like that, she knew that she was not easy to fool.
is also, at such an age, she supports a tofu workshop and a girl who supports a family, and she can no longer simply look at her with the eyes of a child.
It's just that there is some unease in my heart, Aunt Xu came out of the Yu family with a disgraced face, and Yu Xihua sent her, "Why don't you tell me, the tofu shop is Xiling's master!" ”
"You didn't ask me." Yu Xihua felt extremely wronged.
Aunt Xu was angry with Yu Xihua, but thinking about the relationship between the two families, Yu Xihua's tofu craftsmanship endured it and didn't speak again.
The Yu family recruited Zhang Xia, and the rest of the people on the street staring at this job had nothing to say, if the Yu family chose someone else, everyone would have some opinions, but Zhang Xia, who is honest and capable, is also very popular, and it seems to be a matter of course to choose her.
To Yu Xiling's surprise, Zhang Xia didn't want the salary of more than 30 yuan, but chose to be an apprentice.
"I thought that if I could learn a trade, I wouldn't starve to death in the future." Zhang Xia was a little embarrassed, tugging at the corner of her clothes, her face was slightly red, and she saw that Yu Xiling didn't speak, "Little master, don't worry, I have done all the work, and I will stay and work after I have learned, and I will not go out to do it myself." ”
The apprentice of the church starved to death of the master, this is not just a common saying, Zhang Xia was worried, she had not studied for a few days since she was a child, and she wanted to learn a craft, but her hands were thick, and the tailor couldn't do the fine work of tying bamboo strips at all.
"I can't learn it, but it's not certain." Speaking of which, Zhang Xia has a little inferiority, she was also sent out by her family to apprentice when she was a girl, but in the end she was sent home because she was stupid.
Hearing her talk about her previous experience, Yu Xiling was amused, "Okay, you stay." ”
