There was a work-related fatality in the factory. This month's safety production award was cancelled, and the subsidy was suddenly missing.
After yesterday's shock, people began to realize what changes this accident would bring to them.
For a time, Jia Dongxu's name was on the lips again.
In addition to the voices of regret, there were also other noises. Most of them complained that Jia Dongxu should not force himself to go to work, and some also criticized the person who quarreled with Jia Dongxu.
In short, the passing of a person only painted the huge factory with grayish white for just one day. The weight of yesterday was already lifted when people opened their eyes and picked up firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Chen Jingnian took a carving knife and carved an eye on the side of the table.
This eye is slightly cloudy, as if it has just woken up or is drowsy.
Before getting off work, Chen Jingnian left for a while and took his household registration book, grain supply certificate, non-staple food book and other certificates to the grain station, vegetable station, supply and marketing cooperative and other places to exchange for this month's food stamps, vegetable stamps and other bills.
Back home, Chen Jinnian heated up the food in the cafeteria, scooped up some peanuts, and brought them to Li Xianwen's room.
Li Xianwen said nothing, and the two of them sat on the kang. Chen Jinnian poured two glasses of wine and drank it with Li Xianwen in a dull tone.
After Li Xianwen fell asleep, Chen Jingnian came to the backyard.
There were several unknown people standing in the yard, wrapped in khaki and green jackets, looking at the rosy-faced boy in front of them with curiosity.
"It's a relative from Dongxu's hometown who came here to help."
Yi Zhonghai came from the back room and felt that Chen Jingnian was a little different from usual, so he came over and said.
"Master, let me come over and take a look."
Chen Jingnian stood upwind, turned his face away, and did not speak directly to Yi Zhonghai.
At this time, the person in the yard didn't feel anything yet, but he could already smell the smell that had started to deteriorate.
This was also the main reason why he asked for a night watch last night.
"If there's nothing wrong, go to the back and help your brother Zhuzi. There are so many people here at once, and just stuttering is a head-scratching thing."
Yi Zhonghai patted Chen Jingnian on the shoulder, took out two banknotes from his pocket, put them into Chen Jingnian's hand, and turned around and walked to the front yard.
Chen Jingnian put the money in his pocket, passed the crowd who looked at him as if he were watching an animal, and came to the backyard.
...
From the day of Jia Dongxu's accident, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e moved to Xu Damao's house, and the door of their room was locked.
He Yuzhu set up a stove in the open space between the back room and Xu Damao's house and was cooking.
He Yuyu was also there, picking vegetables with two women wearing black jackets.
"Brother Zhuzi, I'm here to do something."
Chen Jingnian bared his teeth at He Yuyu, and He Yuyu gave him a big roll of his eyes.
The interaction between the two caused the two women in jackets to murmur.
"Axe, you came just in time. Can your hands work? If you can, help me chop the cabbage and cut the potatoes into strips. I'll stew them later."
"I've been having acupuncture with a Chinese medicine doctor for a few days. I can get some results, but I can't get enough of it!"
As Chen Jinnian spoke, he picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board with his left hand and smoothed the cabbage.
With the knife in hand, a pile of cabbage instantly turned into cabbage strips of the same length and moderate width.
Chen Jingnian put the cabbage strips into a nearby basin and cut the potatoes into strips similar in size to the cabbage strips.
"Oh! Okay, both the ax and the left hand are so dexterous! It's more agile than rainwater! The key is to listen to the instructions. It's not like some people who just know how to work. If you are so lazy, I don't see how you can get married."
He Yuzhu pushed the large iron pot with one hand and waved the spoon with the other hand. A large handful of shredded potatoes rippled in the pot, and then fell into the pot one by one.
He Yuyu became unhappy, pinched a handful of wild celery, pursed his lips and turned away.
"Brother Zhuzi, your hands are quite strong!"
Chen Jingnian tidied up the chopping board and put the picked wild celery into a big basin.
"It's just a matter of skill, it's not a big deal."
He Yuzhu knocked the side of the pot with his spoon, knocking off the shredded potatoes in his hand, and shouted: "Let's start the pot!"
Chen Jingnian shook his head speechlessly, picked up the bucket from the side, and went to the water station to fetch water.
In fact, I don’t blame everyone for calling He Yuzhu Silly Zhu. This person really has no talent for doing things.
Knowing that Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu are both in the back room, you are busy helping with the cooking.
When the food is ready, you can't keep your voice down, or don't shout so loudly. You really think this is the factory canteen having dinner!
It can be said that this voice was heard by the unruly Jia Zhang, so He Yuzhu's work tonight would be in vain, and he would not be able to do any good things.
When Chen Jingnian came back with a bucket of water, he stopped He Yuyu who was about to come over to wash vegetables.
It's early November, it's already late autumn, and washing vegetables in cold water on this day is not a pleasant experience.
"What are you doing, trying to steal my cornucopia!"
Seeing Chen Jingnian blocking the front, He Yuyu stretched out his hand to protect the vegetable basin and shouted.
"He Yuyu, are you stupid? If you have to wash with the water we just brought..."
After Chen Jinnian finished speaking, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
"Hey, you are quite careful, otherwise everyone would say you look like a girl!"
He Yuyu arched his oval face and smiled happily. He knelt down next to Chen Jingnian and said with a smile: "You said if the third uncle and Jia Dongxu were not so troublesome, would our courtyard also have a water faucet connected to the courtyard?
Yes, that would be much easier.
Installing a water pipe cost only 10 cents per head per household. Yanbu Guipo was calculating and said that his family, Yan Jiecheng, was studying abroad and could not be counted as head. Jia Dongxu, who was stubborn, said that Xiaodang and Banggeng were too small and should be counted as one head.
As a result, everyone in the yard now has to go to the water station more than 100 meters away to fetch water.”
"You can't keep your voice down, Sister Qin and her mother-in-law are still in that room."
Chen Jingnian was really speechless. These brothers and sisters were really close, they had the same spirit.
"Oh! I forgot, why didn't you remind me earlier."
He Yuyu covered his mouth, and then hit Chen Jingnian's arm again.
"The funeral shed is so big in front, but the crying in the back has never stopped. I need to remind you."
Chen Jingnian shook the wild celery and put it back into the basin, cursing in his heart: "He Yuyu should be called a silly girl!"
"Hey, I heard someone say that the director and secretary of your factory are here today. They are riding in a jeep. They have an air of dignity. And their words are very pleasant. They have a set of documents, policies, and party committees of the factory.
Research."
He Yuyu took the dishes that Chen Jingnian had washed, put them aside, handed them over again, and then said: "It is said that your factory director was so speechless that Aunt Zhang was speechless, and she nodded along, and then there was a big mouth.
The man who smelled like dirt almost frightened Sister Qin with his loud voice.
He gave Sister Qin and Aunt Zhang two examples of work-related deaths and the compensation provided by the factory. Then Director Li also said that someone from the Jia family could take over the job, and both Aunt Zhang and Sister Qin agreed.
Finally, the factory director asked if there were any difficulties, and then Aunt Zhang burst into tears and said that there were two widows in their family with two children, and one was still in the belly. There were five people in the family. If they waited until Sister Qin gave birth to the child,
After confinement, there will be no income at all during this period, so she will starve to death. Moreover, Sister Qin has just joined the factory, and the little money she earned at the beginning is not enough to support a large family."
Chen Jingnian thought about the alimony paid to his daughter by the factory and curled his lips.
I shook the dish twice casually, and the water on the celery splashed all over He Yuyu's face.
He Yuyu glared angrily, looking at Chen Jingnian's apologetic look, but couldn't say anything. This chapter has been completed!
