Dean Li knew Xiangshui Village very well. It was a rare meeting on this day. Seeing that Chen Zhongqian and his wife were very interested, Dean Li told them a lot.
"Most of the people in the village are old, weak, women and children. It is naturally good to increase the cultivated land. With these useful farm tools, work can be done faster. However, there are still some people who cannot cultivate so much land and their lives are difficult."
Lin Joy said, "This problem can be solved soon."
Dean Li was very curious, "How do you say that?"
The Zhou family's factory is almost completed and will be put into production soon. Besides, we are not afraid of others knowing about it. If Dean Li knows, he can help with suggestions.
Lin Xixi said, "The Zhou family is going to build a factory to make noodles in the county town. We have agreed with the Zhou family that we must hire local people as workers. By then, women with handicapped legs and feet can work to earn money, as long as they
If you are diligent, you will always be able to survive."
Many people knew that the Zhou family was building a factory in the county town, and some knew that it was going to be a noodle business, but this was the first time that Dean Li heard that they would hire a large number of local people.
It is very strange that the Zhou family is suddenly doing business in Yun'an County. Now they are still thinking about the people of Yun'an County, which must have deep meaning.
Dean Li is also a smart man. It is not difficult to imagine why. He hurriedly greeted Chen Zhongqian and Lin Yuyi, "I would like to thank you and your lady on behalf of the people of Yun'an County."
The couple smiled slightly. They couldn't do much, but they really kept doing it. It was worth it to see Yun'an County changing.
In fact, Yun'an County is completely different from when I first came here.
They firmly believe that Yun'an County will be better in the future.
We had dinner at the village chief's house at noon, and in the afternoon Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo went to play in the back mountain, while Chen Zhongqian accompanied Lin Xixi to continue walking around the village.
Dean Li didn't want to disturb them all the time, so he went around and left the two of them alone.
Lin Xixi kept laughing, and Chen Zhongqian asked, "What are you so happy about?"
Lin Joy said, "I'm glad that you have changed. You are a very warm person now."
"You mean I was cold before?"
Lin Yuxi shook his head, "No, you have always been a warm person, but you always hid yourself in the past and didn't want to see the depths of your heart. You were willing to help others, but you were always repulsive on the outside.
Besides, many people think you are difficult to get along with."
"Only a thick-skinned person like Yue Ye can be your friend, because he doesn't care what your attitude is towards him, as long as he firmly believes that you treat him as a friend."
Chen Zhongqian smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I don't know how Yue Ye is doing now."
The place where Yue Ye works is not too far from home, but it is also a small place. With his ability, he can manage it well.
In the blink of an eye, they have been separated for almost a year, and there is no correspondence between them. When they suddenly talk about it, they are still thinking about it.
Lin Joy nodded affirmatively, "Don't worry, he can eat anywhere, don't worry."
Saying this, I still feel a little worried. Yue Ye is outgoing, but apart from Chen Zhongqian, he doesn't seem to have any close friends. I wonder if he can get used to being alone outside.
It was a very fun day out. Lin Yuxi felt that her feet hurt, but she was still in a good mood. When she got home, she kept telling Uncle Xu about things in the countryside.
Uncle Xu smiled and said, "I will go and have a look next time."
Lin Yuxi said, "Even Uncle Xu should go out and have a look. You don't have to worry about things at home all the time. You should also take a rest."
Uncle Xu smiled and agreed, and then continued to work. He couldn't take any time off.
Half a month later, the spring plowing was almost finished. At this time, the Zhou family's noodle factory was completed and several workers were to be recruited in Yun'an County.
They posted notices in the city, and the Yamen also posted notices to help recruit people. No one had to question it, they immediately knew that it was true. The Yamen now are different from before, and what the Yamen said was true.
Some people's families have little land, and no matter how hard they work, they can only harvest so much. They can't keep going into the mountains to dig for medicinal materials, and they are worried about their livelihood.
There are also some people who are just weak and sick. Due to physical reasons, it is not easy to get down to the ground, and even more difficult to go up the mountain. They are all wondering how to live their lives.
The opening of the Zhou family's factory brought hope to many people. In addition to digging medicinal materials and farming in the mountains, they had other options to work in the Zhou family's noodle factory.
Such a large factory must have always needed people. It cost so much money to build, and it has connections with the government. It is unlikely to go bankrupt easily.
The people in Yun'an County were very happy and rushed to tell each other. Within two days, everyone knew about it.
"Have you heard? There is a place that is recruiting people. It's such a big business. Once I go there, I'll just make noodles. Don't worry about the wages. Food is definitely indispensable. I heard that you can work there and have three meals a day.
It’s all covered.”
"I've also heard people say it. It's really good. Even if it costs twenty cents a day, it's still a good deal. It saves food at home."
Many people have this idea. The Li family's business in Yun'an County also hires people, but the wages are very low and they don't even provide food.
Therefore, ordinary people have become accustomed to it, and they think it is normal for the wages to be low and not to give them food. If they are given food, it would be the appearance of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva.
After the news spread for a few days, official recruitment began. When everyone went over to see, they wanted to hire long-term workers and short-term workers. The wages were different, but both were given food.
Long-term workers can rest for four days a month and are paid one tael of silver per day, while short-term workers are paid thirty cents per day and are paid once a month.
It sounds like long-term employment is much more cost-effective, but after signing a contract, you have to work here for a long time. Many people have jobs at home, so even if they are greedy, they can't help it.
There are two ways to hire people, and many people can go there to work. Those who have no one to live by themselves can work there for a long time, which is equivalent to finding a home for themselves and earning some money.
And those who have land at home can go there to work during the off-season to live a stable life.
If you are brave and not afraid of hard work, you can go hunting in the mountains or dig medicinal materials, and you can earn more money.
Originally, Yun'an County was lifeless, and everyone was living as long as they could, but suddenly there was hope.
The land is well planted, and there are ways to earn money to make a living. No matter how you think about it, you feel that your life is interesting.
Even those gangsters who used to steal people's things on the street are now starting to wonder if they can find a serious job and live a serious life.
If you rob someone's things, you will be arrested by the Yamen and beaten. I don't know how they beat me. After the beating, I feel pain and itching. I don't want to be beaten once.
They have good hands and feet, but they are not as capable as the old, weak, sick and disabled?
As long as you stay down and live a good life, it will definitely be better than being a gangster, and maybe you can even get a wife or something.
