"There are green vegetables and tofu, and steamed eggs!" During dinner, Sun Yunping couldn't help but feel surprised when he looked at the dishes his mother brought.

Ten-year-old sister Yun Xiu brought another bowl of salt-boiled beans, and steamed brown rice. This is the meal for the family of four tonight.

Sun Tie, who was chopping firewood, washed his hands and sat in the straw hut, looked at the food and sighed: "It is rare to eat such a good meal even when we were in our hometown in Huai'an."

"That's not it." Fourteen-year-old Sun Yunping, after experiencing the experience of fleeing from Huai'an to Nanjing, is already very sensible. Although he is very happy to be able to eat tofu and eggs, he still can't help asking: "Mom, tonight

Why is it so good to eat?”

He Yunniang smiled and said, "Today, the bedding factory paid the wages, and the bonus is enough for eight cents. The rice price has dropped to three points, and our family survived in Nanjing. I thought about having a good meal to celebrate.

one time."

"The bedding factory paid the wages in half a month?" Sun Yunping was very surprised.

"The manager of the factory said that the superiors knew that many female workers in our factory were refugees, and their families were in trouble and they were sympathetic to us, so they set the rule of paying wages every half a month."

Sun Yunping muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why don't the watch factory be polite to our apprentice and pay the wages early?"

Hearing this, Sun Tie reached out and hit Sun Yunping with chopsticks, and said sternly: "You kid are going to be ungrateful? The watch factory is willing to accept you as an apprentice and will give you a salary of one tael of silver a month, and you will take care of it at noon.

A good meal is already a great righteous person.

If you are an apprentice in another place, you don’t know how many gifts you will give, and it may not be possible to send something if you have worked for ten years.

You kid are not satisfied yet. You don’t think of the Lord’s kindness in your heart, but instead are dissatisfied. Could it be that your conscience is eaten by the dog?!"

Sun Yunping's face turned red when he was scolded by his father Sun Tie, but he couldn't help but defend himself: "I just said casually... And I also passed the third level of the watch factory when I entered the watch factory."

"Dare you still stubborn?" Sun Tie stood up angrily and acted to beat his son.

He Yunniang quickly stopped him, "Why are you angry with the child during the hot days? Hurry up and have a meal."

He Yunniang couldn't help but say, "Yunping, no matter whether you were sincere or not, you shouldn't say it. This is at home. If people outside hear it, they will scold you for being ungrateful.

It's light, maybe I'll be able to be renovated by the watch factory, do you know?"

Sun Yunping nodded with a blushing face, "I understand."

Sun Tieze scolded again: "I always say he is a child. He should get married at the age of fourteen. Is he still so impatient?"

Although Sun Yunping still felt wronged in his heart, he did not dare to retaliate. One is because he was afraid of his father, and the other is because he was absolutely ashamed of his father.

Last month, several factories run by the government recruited people from refugees. His mother He Yunniang entered the wardrobe factory because of needlework and threading. Her father was also hired by the cement factory - although she didn't know what the cement factory did,

But the monthly money is enough!

It's definitely a good job, and it's also decent to work in an official factory.

But because he passed the triple exam, he was hired as an apprentice by the watch factory. Then the government learned about their family's situation and said that if two men and one woman were hired by their company, they could only admit one man and one woman.

, said that we should try our best to make more people have work and money.

In other words, only one of him and his father Sun Tie can work in an official factory.

After discussing, my parents said that although they didn’t know what the watch factory was doing, they had to go through the triple exam to recruit apprentices, and they were also literate young people, so they would definitely have a great future.

So Sun Tie gave up the work of the cement factory and continued to carry the work at the wharf.

The work on the dock is dirty and tiring, and the wages are not much, but the head of the family Sun Tie has now become the one who generates the least income in the family.

Sun Yunping knew his father's difficulties. If he hadn't felt wronged today, he would not have been stubborn.

After dinner, the family cleaned it and went to bed early.

This straw hut is very simple, only three small rooms are separated, which cannot cover up the heavy storm, and you also need to cook outside. This is also built with the help of the government, which is more unknown than they used to be in a broken tent in a refugee camp.

Where did you go?

Of course, this place is also far away from the city gate, and there are several miles of land. He Yunniang and Sun Yunping have to go to the city to work, and Sun Tie wants to go to the wharf, and it is not close to you, so you have to get up early.

As for her sister Xiuniang, she stayed at home to do some housework such as cleaning, washing and other housework, and also took care of the small vegetable garden behind the house.

If it were before, if they fled to another place and had no fixed place, the Sun family would never dare to leave a little girl at the temporary home, because no one would guarantee that the child would not be stolen by human traffickers.

But now the government has set up patrol stations in their refugee resettlement site, and some people elected in the resettlement site are under control. With order and the safety of children are guaranteed, so that adults among the refugees can go out to work with peace of mind.

When He Yunniang came to the quilt factory in the outer city, she was still half an hour before she started working, and even the female workers living in the city were not many.

She did not chat with other female workers, but cleaned the workshop where she worked. In her opinion, many people gathered to weave cloth, make clothes, quilts, boots, etc. for the military men.

However, because of the large number of jobs, a workshop was set up under the factory, and the workshop was divided into groups.

Because He Yunniang was well and fast in embroidery, she was assigned to an embroidery workshop. The military men also had to embroider some patterns and words on their clothes. After she was assigned to the embroidery workshop, she recognized more than ten words.

In the beginning, she worked diligently, not only by nature, but wanted to be worthy of the high wages given by the factory. Unexpectedly, because of her diligence, she got a reward, which is what the factory said about the bonus, and was even praised by the factory manager in public.

Although she was not the one who won the bonus, there were only three people in each shop.

After cleaning the workshop, He Yunniang saw the workshop manager and several workshop managers rushed over.

"Don't be idle if you come here. Hurry up and clean the workshops. Today, the Shangguan of the Ministry of Works will come to inspect!"

The female workers immediately became busy when they heard this.

In fact, they had already cleaned it up yesterday when they were off work, but it might not be completely clean.

However, after the second cleaning of He Yunniang's workshop, it was cleaned and there was no work to do for the moment.

The workshop manager, Aunt Zhao, came over, nodded to He Yunniang with satisfaction, and said, "Yunniang, today's inspector of the Ministry of Works may talk to a model worker like you, you must be mentally prepared."

"Ah?" He Yunniang became nervous when she heard this, "How should I prepare?"

Aunt Zhao held her hand and smiled and said, "What are you asking for? Just answer truthfully. If possible, try to say it as good as possible, but don't lie to Shangguan, and don't be as nervous as you are now."

"I, I have never spoken to Master Guan, I can't be nervous." He Yunniang was so anxious that she wanted to cry, "Manager Zhao, can I change someone?"

"Why are you panic?" Aunt Zhao raised her face slightly, "I just said that it might be you, but I didn't say that it must be you, and I didn't let you do anything difficult. What's there to panic?"

He Yunniang was so scolded that she lowered her head, she didn't dare to say more, and responded: "I understand."

A female worker in the workshop who was jealous of He Yunniang laughed secretly when she saw this. Aunt Zhao glared at her and pretended to be busy.

In this way, it was soon time to start working and the female workers started working.

No one dares to be lazy at this time. Although Aunt Zhao, the manager of the workshop, is a good person, if someone is lazy and delays business, she will report to deduct wages.

Seeing that time passed quickly, Shangguan who came to inspect the Ministry of Works was missing, He Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief.

Who knew that just after Si Shizhong (there was a special person in the factory to report the time), the manager of the shop suddenly brought someone to inform him, saying that the emperor was outside the factory and would come in to inspect later!

The female workers and Aunt Zhao were shocked.

But the manager of the shop said sternly again: "Shangguan said, let the workshops work normally and seriously, and there must be no mistakes. If the emperor asks anything, he will answer according to the truth and answer well, and he must not lose the factory.

face!"

Not only did the female workers not see any big scenes, they were still in a panic for a while.

The manager frowned and said, "Don't panic, you at least hesitate to prepare for a cup of tea, prepare carefully!"

Aunt Zhao finally woke up and hurriedly replied: "Yes!"

Then he scolded the female workers and quickly restored the production order in the workshop.

In this way, after about a cup of tea, teams of imperial guards with clean and bright armor lined up along the road outside the workshop, and some people entered the workshop to check, which made the female workers panic again.

The soldiers who checked were kind and said, "If the Lord comes in, you will not move around when working in the work station. Who can the Lord call you to come? Do you understand?"

The women nodded quickly.

After another cup of tea, He Yunniang and others heard a large group of footsteps approaching and stopped at the door of the workshop - the workshop was quite wide and the door was large, more than ten feet wide.

"Yeah, it's not bad." A crisp and majestic female voice said, "I heard that your factory has just been evaluated as a model of labor. Is there any in this workshop?"

"Yes, yes." It turned out to be the factory director's voice, a little trembling.

"Call her here, I'll ask a few questions."

"He Yunniang? He Yunniang is not here to meet you?"

He heard the name of He Yunniang was stunned. Aunt Zhao was pulled to the group of people, and then she could barely come to her senses. Then she hurriedly knelt down and didn't know what she said.

It was not until her jade hands helped her up that she was calm inexplicably, but her mind was still stiff.

She knew that the fairy-like woman in front of her was the current emperor, the first queen of the Ming Dynasty, and the fairy who came to earth.

But she never expected that the emperor would talk to her a lowly woman with such a good look, and even reached out to help her, making her wonder if she was dreaming.

The emperor asked a few words to leave, but she still couldn't come back to her senses. Aunt Zhao was taken back to her post like a puppet and sat down. She felt the embroidery needle and thread, and then she woke up.

Looking around, I saw that the female workers around me slowed down their work and all looked envious, but they could no longer be jealous.

Aunt Zhao said with a smile on his face: "Yun Niang is so lucky. She is actually praised by the emperor. Do it well. I may have to trouble you to take care of Auntie in the future."
