After everyone finished eating at Xu's house, they chatted for a while, and at seven o'clock, those who should go to the processing plant on duty went to duty, and those who should go home also went home.

The next day, Xu Shiyan went back to work as usual, and Su Anying took people to make goods in the processing plant.

This year, in addition to the relatives of each family, the processing plant also recruited a lot of people.

Nowadays, recruiting people is actually very simple, and there are many people in Qilu and other places who break into the Northeast for various reasons.

Like the workers on the farm, most of the people who visited the farm came from there.

These people have made money in the Northeast, and some of them went back to tell their daughters-in-law, so they brought their daughters-in-law.

Some wrote letters to introduce their brothers and relatives.

In the fertilizer factory next door to the processing plant, the town arranged Yang Junxian as the secretary and director.

In addition, a cashier, an accountant, and a custodian were arranged, and these were considered to be formally established.

A small number of other workers were recruited from the villages under Donggang.

The kind of family with many brothers, less land and few mallets comes out to work than farming to earn money.

Most of them are recruited from other places.

These people from other places are all strong and very capable, and they do not farm or grow ginseng at home, and they do not need to ask for leave to go back to work during the busy farming season.

There is a canteen and a dormitory on the factory side, and single people can take care of food and housing, and those who have families can help rent a house and arrange accommodation.

The conditions are much stronger than in their hometown, so it is easy to recruit workers.

The processing plant can be regarded as stained with the next door, and those who have married daughters-in-law, some even bring their daughters-in-law.

These little daughters-in-law are all old and capable, and they can't be idle at all, so they can just go to work in the processing plant.

There are enough manpower, and the processing plant has added several brushing machines this year.

In addition to the mallets of various houses, Su Anying wanders around the ginseng market all day long, buying fresh ginseng.

Sometimes, I will go to other towns and villages, and even Jingyu, Changbai, Antu and other places to collect fresh ginseng and come back for processing.

This side receives and processes, and the goods are dried and shipped to the south immediately.

This year, the number of orders from southern customers is not small, so the processing plant is also working overtime, and they are very busy.

At the end of Donggang Primary School, I told Xu Shiyan before that I would ask Xu Shiyan to help find a southern customer and sell the goods directly.

Xu Shiyan remembered this incident, just when the ginseng festival happened, Su Anying had a good chat with a Hong Kong businessman and signed a big order with the other party.

The other party entrusted Su Anying to purchase and process here, and then directly shipped it over, Su Anying calculated that the profit was very large.

So I discussed with Principal Gao and the two sides cooperated.

The 500 zhang ginseng from Donggang Primary School was handed over to the processing factory for processing, and after processing, it was distributed to Hong Kong businessmen, and the profits were equally shared between the two sides.

Principal Gao calculated, so the profit is much higher than selling locally.

If this is the case, not only will the teachers get a share, but the school will also be able to keep the funds for the renovation of the school building.

So they readily agreed, and the two sides happily signed an agreement.

"That, this Sunday, our classmates are going up the mountain for labor exercise.

When I went home, I told my parents that I would change into a set of old clothes on Sundays, and that it was best to wear water boots if I had water boots.

If you don't have it, you can wear labor shoes, mainly because the upper is a little higher, don't pour soil into the shoes.

In addition, everyone brings rice, it is best to bring dry food and pickles, don't bring any soup and water, you can't get it when you get to the mountains. ”

In the last class on Saturday morning, the homeroom teachers of the four classes in the sixth grade told the children like this.

"Do you remember them all? When you go home, you must remember to tell your family.

If you don't have classes this afternoon, remember to write your homework and be sure to complete it.

You're going to have a graduation exam next year, and it's about whether you can go to junior high school or not, so you have to pay attention to it, understand? ”

Nowadays, it is not nine years of compulsory education, and there is also an examination for elementary school to junior high school, and there is no way to go on to higher education if you fail to pass the grades.

In order to prepare for the junior high school, the school is also very attentive, and the teachers in the sixth grade are very close to learning all day long.

What the teacher talks about all day long is homework.

Donggang Primary School is a total of 500 zhang mallet, this is the end of September, no more mallet slurry, the color of the goods is not good-looking and does not press the scale.

But usually the teachers have to teach and go to work, so they can only catch it on Sundays.

How many teachers are there in elementary school? The 500 zhang mallets were too busy to go, so they could only ask the students to go with them.

Most of the children in the sixth grade are thirteen or fourteen years old, and they are older children, and now the children are not delicate, and they have to do all the work.

Planting in the spring, shoveling in the summer, and harvesting the land in the autumn are all them, at least they can pick up the mallets, so what else do they say? I have to work.

"Got it, finish your homework in the afternoon." The children shouted in unison.

In this way, as soon as the school bell rang, the children rushed out of the school with their schoolbags on their backs and hurried home.

Xu Haiyuan joined Huang Shuqing, Xu Jinping, Yang Haoyu, Xu Jingyi, Xu Jingwen and others, a group of more than a dozen children, hula rushed out of the school, shouting and running home.

"Milk, tomorrow our school will start the mallet, and the teacher said that we all have to go up to the mountains to work.

Bring me some food tomorrow morning, preferably some dry food or something. As soon as Xu Haiyuan entered the door, he said to Zhou Guilan.

"Oh, you'll have to go up the mountain tomorrow?

Okay, so what do you want to bring? Do I give you pancakes, steamed buns, or pancake rolls? ”

Zhou Guilan has no opinion on this, that is, parents are used to it in these years.

The only thing the old lady cares about is that her grandson goes up the mountain and brings something to eat.

At this time, the weather is cold, and there is probably no place for hot meals on the mountain, so it is estimated that it is not easy for children to eat something hot.

"Why don't you go to the store across the street and buy you bread, cakes, and a canned luncheon meat? Can that thing fight hunger? ”

"Huh? I remembered that I had your dad's insulated lunch box at home.

Well, I'll bring you rice and meat, it's also convenient. ”

The old lady suddenly remembered that she had a household at home.

The insulated lunch box is quite large, the outside is aluminum, the inner layer is plastic, and the middle layer is insulated.

The lunch box is divided into two parts, one end can hold hot water, and the other end can hold rice and vegetables.

Put the rice and vegetables in while they are hot, then fill them with freshly boiled hot water and fasten the insulated lunch box.

By noon it wasn't cold at all, and the child was able to eat some hot meals.

"Milk, you can bring anything, I'll eat it all."

Xu Haiyuan almost asked his grandmother to ask Mihu, where did he know what to bring?

Anyway, he doesn't pick his mouth, he eats whatever he wants, why are there so many things?

"Okay, the milk will know what to do for you, don't worry, keep it for you to eat."

Zhou Guilan had already calculated what to bring to her grandson, so she went to prepare for food.

This old lady simply regarded her grandson going to work as a picnic.

Xu Haiyuan looked at his grandmother's back and scratched his head, feeling that something was not quite right, but he couldn't say it.

Well, don't think about it, let's wash your hands and eat.

The teacher left a bunch of homework, and after finishing the homework in the afternoon, I have to go up the mountain to work tomorrow.

"Brother, I also want to go up the mountain and start the mallet."

Over there, Xu Haiqing came over again and looked at Xu Haiyuan with blank eyes.

"You give me a step, I am the work of the school, not our family.

What is the matter with me taking you? The teacher can't let me either.

Don't worry, when you go to elementary school next year, you will have the opportunity to work outside of school.

Just you lazy, don't cry and shout that you don't want to go. Xu Haiyuan was speechless by his younger brother.
