Chapter 36: Repair the house for the old village chief's family
Wang Jiuzhicheng was the first salary of the workshop director and the eighth-level worker, and he was still looking forward to it.
Generally, when you become a workshop director, you don't have to go to the finance department to queue up for salary.
But this time, it seems that the factory director wants to encourage everyone and make everyone strive to improve, so in the first month of Wang Jiuzhi, the factory director asked him to queue up to receive his salary.
Wang Jiuzhi had no choice but to queue up, and he had been queuing for two years anyway.
"Director Wang, your salary is a total of 134 yuan, come here to sign."
Wang Jiuzhi was also surprised to hear that his salary was 134, compared with the eighth-level worker, he had 44 yuan more.
The people in the back of the queue were all talking.
"More than a hundred, that's too much."
"This person is an eighth-level worker and a workshop director, of course he is high."
"No way, it's not something we can compare."
After Wang Jiuzhi finished signing, he left.
Let others envy them, anyway, he gets his salary based on his own strength.
Back in the workshop, everyone started work.
Wang Jiuzhi, the director of the workshop, actually doesn't have much to do in a day.
Let the workers complete the daily output, personnel arrangement, control the failure rate of products, and machinery and equipment.
Therefore, Wang Jiuzhi has mainly understood the personnel structure of this workshop recently, and there are nearly 1,000 people in the seventh workshop.
Of course, it is unrealistic to let him take care of it himself, so the factory director also asked him to find a few assistants by himself, and the assistant in this workshop in the past, the factory director will be transferred to other workshops.
This is also for fear that some people will not accept Wang Jiuzhi and affect his work.
Wang Jiuzhi has no opinion, isn't it good that it's smooth sailing?
After getting off work, Wang Jiuzhi bought some things and went directly back to the old village chief's house by car.
After a long time, it was dark, and Wang Jiuzhi arrived in the town.
However, it is still a 30-minute drive from the old village chief's house.
In this era, the transportation was not as convenient as in the future, and there were no motorcycles, so Wang Jiuzhi went to find an uncle who often sent him a tractor.
This is when the journey begins again, and the tractor is relatively bulky, so it will take a little more time to arrive.
However, the advantage is that the tractor is not crowded when it sits up, and Wang Jiuzhi put a snakeskin bag in the body of the tractor and lies directly on it.
Because it was a muddy road, it was very shaky and trembling lying in the car body, and Wang Jiuzhi should be massaged.
The first time he took a tractor before, Wang Jiuzhi spit all the way, and now he is used to it, and he can sing two songs.
"Little Brother Jiuzhi, it's here." The uncle woke up Wang Jiuzhi and said.
When Wang Jiuzhi heard this, he quickly got up and jumped out of the car.
"I'm in trouble uncle, you take this toffee and go home and give it to the child." Wang Jiuzhi gave a lot of toffee and 1 yuan to the uncle.
The uncle hurriedly excused himself and said, "Hey, how can I take this, 5 cents is enough." ”
"It's okay uncle, it's so late, you should go back early." After Wang Jiuzhi finished speaking, he didn't wait for the uncle to refuse, put the money and toffee and left.
The uncle had no choice but to accept it, in fact, the fare of 5 cents was enough, but every time Wang Jiuzhi took his car, he would give him a dollar or bring him some good things.
So every time Wang Jiuzhi came back, he didn't care if there was anything else, the first thing was to send Wang Jiuzhi back first.
This is also the reason why Wang Jiuzhi is good to his uncle, which means that I don't treat you badly, and you are also good to me.
After Wang Jiuzhi got off the tractor, he turned on his flashlight and walked for a while, and he arrived at the old village chief's house.
The area of the old village chief's house is still quite large, there are six rooms, all of which are repaired by their family with yellow mud, and they will not encounter high-level earthquakes and typhoons, and it is no problem to live for decades.
However, it should not be exposed to floods and heavy rainstorms, otherwise the wall will be soaked in water and will easily collapse.
At this time, the old village chief's family was still eating, and the rural people did not do farm work until it was dark, so they had to eat a little later.
The old village chief's house did not close the door for dinner, and lit kerosene lamps.
As soon as Wang Jiuzhi arrived at the dam of the old village chief's house, a yellow dog of the old village chief's house barked and pounced on him.
"Rhubarb, don't make a fuss." Wang Jiuzhi touched the dog's head and said to the dog.
As soon as the old village chief's family heard the movement and looked outside, they knew that Wang Jiuzhi had returned.
"The wine branch is back, come and eat." The old village chief said with a smile in his eyes.
"It just so happens that I'm still hungry." Wang Jiuzhi also served it directly, took the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.
Now because of Wang Jiuzhi, the life of the old village chief's family is also better, in the past, meat could only be eaten once during the New Year, but now it can be eaten once a month.
Usually it's basically gruel, sweet potatoes or something, and now there are two green vegetables, if it weren't for the rural materials and the old village chief who was reluctant to spend money, now there is no problem with eating meat for four or five days.
At the table, the nine-year-old granddaughter of the old village chief said ignorantly: "Brother Jiuzhi, why did you only come back once in so long." ”
Wang Jiuzhi said while eating: "I also want to come back often, but it is inconvenient to take the car, and there is no long holiday, and it is only a day off on Sunday." ”
The old village chief was already smoking dry tobacco after eating at this time, he spit out a puff of smoke, and said slowly: "You don't have to come back often, you just need to come back during the New Year, and now you are also a city person, and you keep your salary by yourself." ”
Wang Jiuzhi said unhappily: "What kind of people in the city, if you don't have you, I don't know if anyone is not, I didn't say it at the time, I earned money to honor you." ”
In the past two years, the old village chief's family has known that what Wang Jiuzhi said is not wrong, after all, if he comes back every two or three months, he will give sixty or seventy yuan, which is a lot of money.
However, the old village chief has saved, only used a little money, and occasionally improved the life of the family, what he thought in his heart was that Wang Jiuzhi was now in the city, and when the time came, he would take his daughter-in-law, and he would not buy anything three turns and one ring?
Wang Jiuzhi came back once in a while, so he didn't know, every time he came back, the old village chief would get something good to eat, so he thought that the old village chief used the money.
At this time, talking about this topic, Wang Jiuzhi also took out a handful of money from his bag, almost close to 300 yuan, and put it in front of the old village chief.
This money has more than a hundred wages, as well as the first two months' wages, and the money rewarded by the factory, so Wang Jiu can only take out so much at once.
Wang Jiuzhi said: "Old village chief, build the house into a brick house, the money should be about the same." ”
The old village chief looked at the large amount of money in front of him, but he didn't feel anything, but his wife hurriedly took the money and stuffed it back into Wang's wine branch bag.
She shook her head again and again and said, "Jiuzhi, you have given so much money, you can keep the money for yourself, you still have to take your daughter-in-law." ”
Wang Jiuzhi smiled bitterly: "It's okay, now I'm an eighth-level worker, with a salary of more than 100 a month." ”
Liu Fei, the eldest son of the old village chief, said in surprise at this time: "What? More than 100 yuan a month, you're not lying to us, are you? Wine branches, we can't do speculative things. ”
"I really didn't lie to you, see for yourself." Wang Jiuzhi fortunately brought the certificate given by the factory, but he was afraid of this situation, after all, people in the countryside are full and hungry, and you suddenly said that the monthly salary is more than 100, who is not confused.
The old village chief took the certificate, and it was indeed said that Wang Jiuzhi was an honorary eighth-level worker, and then showed it to the others.
However, except for the eldest son of the old village chief, no one else knows how to read, but Wang Jiuzhi still knows the three words.
So the wife of the old village chief, let the eldest son Liu Fei hurry up and say what was written on it.
After Liu Fei read out the words on the certificate, everyone believed it and was happy for Wang Jiuzhi.
Wang Jiuzhi sat on the stool, looking at the old village chief's family, and felt very comfortable, after all, this family has been in this family for more than ten years, and the familiar one can't be more familiar.
It's a pity that he can't buy a house in the city now, otherwise Wang Jiuzhi would have taken the old village chief's family to the city a long time ago, but he can't arrange a job in the city, and the old village chief's family has a rural household registration.
But the old village chief is the village chief after all, and he has to lead the people in the village to struggle and live a good life, so in fact, even if he can go to the city, the old village chief will not go.
"Okay, old village chief, collect the money and build the house into a brick house, so that Liu Xiaoer can still marry a good daughter-in-law."
Liu Xiaoer is the second son of the old village chief, more than a year younger than Wang Jiuzhi, and he can already marry a daughter-in-law at this age in the countryside.
Although Liu Xiaoer is not very old, he is also very sensible, so he said: "Jiuzhi, you are too much, it is not suitable." ”
Wang Jiuzhi said: "Okay, I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon, don't discuss these things, just listen to me, old village chief, you put the money away." ”
Wang Jiuzhi stuffed the money to the old village chief, and then went to the door to play with rhubarb and let the old village chief's family digest it.
Wang Jiuzhi felt that the old village chief's family had taken him with him for more than ten years, and it was certainly no problem for him to give some money in return now.
But the concept of the old village chief's family is naturally different, they have a good relationship with Wang Jiuzhi's parents and grandfather, and they are the village head, so it is also appropriate to raise Wang Jiuzhi by the way, and they just have something to eat, and they didn't starve him to death.
It's really not like Wang Jiuzhi to give so much money, after all, this time it's 300 yuan, and many people in the city can't earn 300 yuan a year, let alone rural people.
In the countryside, as long as there is work to do, there is a centimeter to earn, there is food to eat every day, and at the end of the year, a little money can buy meat, buy cloth and make new clothes.
Now let them directly repair the brick house, it is normal for them to be apprehensive, and no one has seen anyone build a brick house in the countryside, only in the town.
However, Wang Jiuzhi did not let them refuse at all, so the old village chief was ready to agree verbally first, and then wait for Wang Jiuzhi to leave, and then save the money for Wang Jiuzhi.
The old village chief and his eldest son were silent at the table smoking cigarettes, while the second son went back to the room first.
Wang Jiuzhi was at the door, teasing the rhubarb.
The daughter-in-law of the eldest son Liu Fei, she saw that Wang Jiuzhi liked dogs so much, and suddenly remembered that a family's dog had just given birth to a puppy, so she asked.
"Wine Branch, do you want to take a puppy to the city? Zhang San's dog gave birth to a puppy, and it was only a few months, and they couldn't raise it, so if no one wanted them, they were ready to throw it away. ”
There are not many dogs in this village, mainly because they don't have much to eat, so these dogs basically go to find food on their own.
Then the newborn dog, except for the first few months, if you don't artificially give some food later, you basically can't survive.
If there is no one to raise it, then it can only be thrown away, and maybe there is a slight chance of survival in the wild.
This is also because no one in this village will eat dog meat, otherwise in other places, dogs may have been brought for tooth sacrifice a long time ago.
