Chapter 286: New Year's Day
Although it is not possible to set up its own private enterprise for the time being, the workshop still needs to be carefully managed.
Now that it is approaching New Year's Day, the workers in the factory have been allocated things, mainly apples and some meat and eggs and other non-staple foods.
In fact, the wages of these young workers in Duanyun Workshop are far higher than their wages in the factory, and they can naturally buy money, food, and drink, even if they have food stamps and meat stamps, they can also be exchanged directly on the black market with money.
But people's hearts are very delicate, Duan Yun knows that now Cui Lin Leizi, a group of young workers who give up the iron rice bowl of the factory and follow themselves, has taken a lot of risks, and is despised by relatives and neighbors at home, and even the object of engagement will be discriminated against by the woman.
Therefore, in addition to ensuring their salaries, Duan Yun also has to pay some benefits regularly, although it doesn't cost much to send some fruits, meat, eggs and the like during the New Year's holidays, but they can get things home, and it will also make their families look at each other differently, which is also a very face-saving thing, and it will improve the morale and sense of belonging of the team.
As for how many things to send, Duan Yun's standard for comparison is the factory, if the factory sends out ten catties of apples this time, Duan Yun will send twenty catties per person! Anyway, these things are just a small amount of money compared to the money Duan Yun makes, and they are not worth mentioning.
In fact, when Duan Yun passed by the factory in the past few days, he had already felt the festive atmosphere of New Year's Day.
The gates of the Red Star Gear Factory and the Workers' Club have been neatly planted with a row of red flags, and the banner of "Celebrating New Year's Day" has been hung in the most conspicuous position.
In the early eighties, China's economy began to improve. All units will take the lead in holding lively galas, cultural and sports activities. The Chinese New Year Tea Party is also one of them.
Local federations of literary and art circles, artists associations, calligraphers' associations, etc., all hold New Year tea parties on New Year's Day. Everyone took advantage of this annual opportunity to get together to drink tea easily, communicate, and learn, at that time, when we went to the Calligraphers Association, everyone was waving and writing, and we would write Spring Festival couplets for free.
For future generations, people will choose to go out and other activities on holidays, but in today's era of relative scarcity of material and entertainment activities, New Year's Day is particularly warm and pleasant.
The trade union of the Red Star Gear Factory also held a lot of New Year's Day problem activities, movie tickets were sent softly, and there were also tug-of-war in various workshops, basketball, table tennis and other sports competitions.
The employees in each workshop who signed up for the event were very enthusiastic, and the reason was very simple, because as long as they participated in the competition, there was at least a commemorative award, soap, shampoo, and Chinese toothpaste.
Duan Yun also decided to have a two-day holiday in the workshop on New Year's Day, and after learning the news, Cui Lin Leizi and others cheered.
You must know that since the launch of "Blood Suspicion" in September, Duan Yun's team has been in a high-intensity work, and although it eased up for a while, these young workers still install and sell in various factories in order to make more money, and basically do not rest on Sundays.
This New Year's Day holiday is also the first holiday in the small workshop in the past two months, Duan Yun wants them to have a time to talk to and hang out together, after all, making money is not the whole of life.
Similarly, Duan Yun's correspondence station at Night University is also closed on New Year's Day, so Duan Yun doesn't have to send Cheng Qingyan to night school during this time.
The weather was a little cool, and on New Year's Day, Duan Yun got up early in the morning, and after coming to the hospital, he had to go through the transfer procedures for his mother.
Now Gao Xiuzhi's body has recovered a little, and she can get out of bed and go to the toilet by herself, and the incision has recovered quickly, and after several dressing changes, the wound has obviously begun to heal.
The third hospital is a bit far away, and his sister Duan Fang also misses her mother very much, in order to facilitate the care, Duan Yun finally decided to transfer her mother to the staff inpatient building located in the factory, although the medical facilities of the staff hospital in the factory are much worse than the three hospitals, but there is no problem with inpatient infusion, and after the mother moved to the factory, he and his sister are also convenient to take care of.
Duan Yun's mother put on a thick military coat, then helped her out of the inpatient building, and slowly left the hospital after sitting in her nephew.
At the beginning, Duan Yun wanted to find a quiet single room for his mother, but his mother liked to be lively, so in desperation, Duan Yun had to change a triple room for his mother.
In addition to Gao Xiuzhi in the ward, there are two other middle-aged women who are hospitalized, both of whom are more talkative, and it only took one morning for Gao Xiuzhi to talk to these two people like sisters.
These two are pure housewives, their husbands work in the factory, and they have many children at home, and they have never seen Duan Yun before.
Gao Xiuzhi can eat normally now, when Duan Yun is at home, he will boil porridge and boil eggs and send them to the hospital for his mother to eat, and sometimes Duan Yun will lead Duan Fang to bring food to his mother.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, it was almost time for dinner, and the family members of the other two patients in the ward had already come to deliver the meal.
"Xiao Gao, my son sent a little too much food today, if you are hungry, I will share some with you, and you won't be able to finish it anyway. A woman with a somewhat fat figure on the bed next to her said to Gao Xiuzhi.
"No, my son will be coming soon. Gao Xiuzhi said with a smile.
"We are all in the same factory, and it is also fate to be able to live in a ward, and in the future, we will have to go more and more......" The woman sighed lightly and said: "I have finally survived in the past two years, and my two sons have entered the steel casting workshop, and the workshop director also values my eldest son, and some time ago I planned to promote him to be a squad leader, and his salary has also risen by several yuan......
"Either Sister Liu, you are blessed. The middle-aged woman by the window also interjected and said: "Actually, my son is okay, my eldest son has been in the army for three years, and some time ago I wrote that the army was going to promote him to a platoon commander...... I thought that when he came back professionally, he would also be a professional local cadre, so I would have to find him a daughter-in-law who was the right person......
"I have a headache when it comes to my son's marriage, there are more people in the factory who tell my son that they are relatives, and last month a girl came into the house with my son, and she had to stay at my house, and finally I drove away...... Why do you say that the current girl is so shameless, and she doesn't look at her own conditions, that is, she is a contract worker in the factory, and she always wants to climb the high branches......"
"Now that there are more girls like this, it's long been no longer strange. The woman by the window smiled, and then asked Gao Xiuzhi: "By the way, Xiao Gao, isn't your son also a regular worker in our factory, has he found a partner?"
"No, there's no hurry. Gao Xiuzhi said with a smile.
If it was placed in the past, Gao Xiuzhi would definitely praise her son, but now Gao Xiuzhi is learning to be obedient, and there have been too many people who have introduced Duan Yun in the past two months, Gao Xiuzhi is overwhelmed, after all, Duan Yun is a college student, and the woman can't wait to post her daughter upside down, after a long time, Gao Xiuzhi finally knows how to keep a low profile, so now she is not easy to talk about her son in front of outsiders.
"Actually, Xiao Gao, let me tell you, although your son is a regular worker, but the female regular workers in our factory have a high vision, and they all want to find a secondary school student or a small cadre, and they don't look down on ordinary workers at all...... If you want me to say, the most important thing is to find a daughter-in-law to live at home, and there are many female contract workers in our factory, as long as they are diligent and do housework well, and their appearance is not stumbling...... "Fa Fu woman said.
"Yes, Sister Liu is right, there are many young men who work in the factory who can't find a suitable partner, your son has just entered the factory for a short time, and your family is supported by you alone, just find a virtuous daughter-in-law, and hug your grandson early after the door...... "The woman next to the bed also said.
"Squeak. ”
At this time, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Duan Yun and Cheng Qingyan walked in together.
"Auntie......"
Cheng Qingyan walked to Gao Xiuzhi's bed with a thermos lunch box in her hand, and greeted her with a smile.
