71 Welfare of women workers
Luo Xiaoqiao retracted his legs and looked back at Mrs. Bao: "Grandma Bao, just say a word, I'm a person with a quick temper and can't stand the threat." I still have something to do at home, so I'm in a hurry to go back. ”
"Okay, okay, you take the agreement, let's sign it!"
Mrs. Bao was in a very complicated mood, and signing the agreement meant that she compromised and her authority was provoked. But if you don't sign, you can't get along with the silver.
Luojia Village as a whole is so poor, in winter, they basically stay at home and eat their old books, let alone work, and there is not much opportunity to work as a coolie.
Who can not want the silver sent to the door, not to mention that as long as the third daughter-in-law is there, there will always be silver, which is a long stream.
Mrs. Bao was not stupid and made a decision quickly.
"Xiao Qiao, thank you, thank you for ......", Aunt Bao San knelt in front of Luo Xiaoqiao and kowtowed heavily.
"The lives of our mothers will be yours in the future, and I will do whatever you want me to do."
Luo Xiaoqiao hurriedly helped her up: "Don't be like this, you have also helped my family a lot." ”
Uncle Bao's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he also wanted to come over to salute, but Luo Xiaoqiao directly pulled him up.
"Mr. Hu, has the agreement been written?" Luo Xiaoqiao pointed to the teacher in the crowd and asked.
"Okay, okay", Mr. Hu took over the two agreements and asked Luo Jinrong to check them, there are not many literate people in the village, he is a more authoritative one.
Liu Yongchang was also in the crowd, he had the heart to step forward to testify, and perform in front of Luo Xiaoni, but Luo Youxi pulled the corner of his sleeve: "Don't be nosy."
The Bao family all signed the agreement and pressed their fingerprints, Luo Xiaoqiao picked up the agreement, handed them a copy, and kept a copy for himself: "Remember what it says, if you commit it, I will go to the yamen to investigate." ”
"It's good luck for you", Mrs. Bao glanced at Aunt Bao and muttered back to the house.
The plum blossoms in the wing room finally couldn't help it and cried loudly. It's a kind of venting for the rest of your life.
Luo Xiaoni also came, and cried next to her: "Meihua, it's okay, it's okay." ”
Luo Jinrong followed Luo Xiaoqiao out of their yard, the sky had already begun to darken, and the villagers were still waiting patiently, the expressions on their faces were a little hazy, and they couldn't see clearly.
"Xiao Qiao, you called everyone over, is there something wrong?" Luo Jinrong asked.
Luo Xiaoqiao nodded, cleared his throat, and everyone looked over.
"Uncles, grandparents, I called you here today because I have something good to say to everyone", Luo Xiaoqiao said with a smile.
"Xiao Qiao, what's a good thing", Aunt Huang's eldest son asked very quickly.
"That's right, my family is going to open a new weaving workshop, so I plan to recruit workers, and only female workers", as soon as Luo Xiaoqiao finished speaking, the crowd was silent for a moment.
Combined with the plum blossom family, they somewhat understood what Luo Xiaoqiao meant.
"Xiao Qiao, you say, what's the move? What kind of people do you want? The daughter-in-law of the village chief's family was the first to ask, and it has always been men who support the family, and if they women can also earn money, the future will be better.
"That's the case, the plum blossom family's affairs are other people's housework, I can't say anything. But our life in the north is already difficult, we are often harassed by Tartars, and it is common for there to be no man in the family. Therefore, our girls in the north should not be like others, they will only cry, make trouble and hang themselves. I hope that all the girls in the Northland can have a skill. Luo Xiaoqiao said in a very firm tone.
"Little Qiao, you're right", the widow of the village was the first to echo.
Her man died in the conscription a few years ago, and she lives alone with her son.
There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, she has an extremely difficult life, and this world is really cruel to women. It's still thanks to the fact that she has a son, and if it's a daughter, it's really hard to imagine what will happen?
"Therefore, if the girl in the family is over thirteen years old and has not yet agreed to marry, as long as there are five families guaranteeing it, and there is no problem with her conduct, she can come to work in Luo's Wood Industry, with 20 yuan a day, and there will be a bonus for doing a good job." Luo Xiaoqiao said.
The men below are a little untenable, and the women earn money, and they are about to catch up with Luo Dashan and their men. Do coolies for a day, that's how much.
"Little Joe, are there any other conditions? Can we come? The village chief's daughter-in-law asked hopefully.
"The conditions are naturally there", Luo Xiaoqiao glanced at the villagers' expectant eyes, and threw out a condition that was the same as a joke for them.
"All the girls who come to work with me, when they talk about their in-laws, they must be willing"
"What's ......", men feel that they have a problem with their ears, is it bad hearing, this is in charge of heaven and earth, and they have to take care of other people's marriages, this is a big rebellion. The order of the parents, why should the girl agree to it herself!
"Everyone be quiet", Luo Xiaoqiao clapped his hands and raised his voice: "If anyone is willing to agree, then not only girls can come to her family, but other men or women can also come, I will arrange suitable work for everyone!" ”
"Boom...... it's really messed up now.
In fact, when most people discuss marriage to their children, they will also ask a sentence or two, and those who hesitate are a minority, and most of them are because their authority has been provoked.
As soon as Luo Xiaoqiao's condition came out, their thoughts were really hard to say.
This is to exchange silver for a future for their girls. And it's also the parents' order, but the parents are only responsible for the selection, and the girls decide for themselves.
"Little Joe, what if someone violates it?" Aunt Huang asked for her.
"The person who comes has to sign an agreement, and he will go to the yamen for the record. And I want five families to give a guarantee, if it is violated, not only I have to go to the yamen theory. I won't use anyone else in their family or anyone who vouches for them. ”
After saying this, the crowd fell silent for a moment.
"Little Joe, can you make us think about it?" The man who understood asked loudly.
"Yes, before noon tomorrow, if any of you are willing, go to Steward Sun, let Mr. Hu register, sign the agreement and come to work"
"But I'm also talking ahead, if anyone comes, doesn't do a good job, and damages the interests of my Luo's Wood Industry, I'll let him know where to open the yamen", Luo Xiaoqiao knocked the villagers again.
In fact, she didn't know where the yamen was going, but the villagers believed it, half coaxed and half frightened, and it would be nice to have a deterrent effect.
Luo Xiaoqiao's words soon spread throughout the village.
Many girls were at home and did not hear with their own ears, but it did not prevent them from inquiring at all. The news brought tears to the eyes of each of them.
How many people get married, and the moment they lift their hijabs, they know who their future promises them.
Now, they can finally have their own choice.
Luo Xiaoqiao suddenly became the faith in the hearts of all girls in Luojia Village.
Even some of them used to look down on Luo Xiaoqiao, but now they all admire her approach from the bottom of their hearts and are grateful for her approach.
