Chapter 115: [The opening of the factory](1/2)
Seeing this, Gao He was surprised that he did not perform. In the past two years, he has been a technician in the company's city, mainly because his home is local.
Every time I go to the factory to repair the machine, I always see some unfinished children doing the same job as adults. Although I can’t bear it, what can I do if I have a hard time at home?
A woman in her thirties behind saw this and said to Qin Xuejuan: "Boss, please keep her. Her parents are gone. There are two younger brothers in elementary school at home. Grandma is blind and her grandfather is not good at legs and feet. The whole family is counting on this child."
Qin Xuejuan was very confused when she heard this.
"This kid is capable. He used to wash dishes and plates in a small restaurant in the county and pour water. Later, he accidentally dropped the plate twice and let the boss drive it out."
There were probably a few people in the crowd behind who knew this little girl. Seeing that she was crying so sadly, they all advised Qin Xuejuan to take her in kindly.
"What's your name?" Qin Xuejuan asked with a pen.
Seeing this, the little girl seemed to be able to stay, so she wiped her tears and said, "My name is Jiang Xiaohui."
“Have you read a book?”
"I haven't finished my second year of junior high school, so I finished school in September last year."
"You are still young..." Qin Xuejuan looked at Jiang Xiaohui and said, "My work here is very boring but also very tiring. However, considering that you are young, I will arrange for you to have a more relaxed job. When you save some money, I still recommend that you go back and continue to study."
Jiang Xiaohui's heart rose and fell with Qin Xuejuan's words. When she learned that she could stay and work, she hurriedly bowed to her and thanked her, "Thank you, aunt, I will work hard."
"Let's go back first, wait until you come to work on the 18th next month, and have fun at home during this period." Qin Xuejuan asked Jiang Xiaohui to leave and began to continue the recruitment of the next person.
There were many people coming, but Qin Xuejuan was carefully observed by everyone. From clothing to hygiene, her character was also considered. Her fruits were all grown in Ningning space. If there were those kind of thieves to take them home, Qin Xuejuan would definitely be unhappy.
Those who can stay are very happy, and those who are not selected are not disappointed. After all, factories can be opened one after another, and they don’t have to be selected.
Among them, there are probably only three or five who are unable to get out of the way at home. Jiang Xiaohui is one, and the other is her husband who has worked hard to get two children.
The people have made reservations and the work day is also booked, and then the factory is inside the factory. They don’t care about food, and almost all the people coming to work here are from here. They can go home for dinner in the morning, noon and evening. Of course, they still have to prepare the cooking place. If their daughter comes occasionally, the mother and the mother can still cook together.
She also wanted her mother-in-law to come with her son. Anyway, there are eight houses opposite the factory workshop, each of which is very spacious. At that time, she would ask her husband to buy a motorcycle, and it would take only twenty minutes to ride a motorcycle to and from get off work.
Then, several styles of glass jars, packaging cartons and trademarks requested by Qin Xuejuan were delivered one after another.
When Gao He saw the trademark, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister Qin, you are the one who makes this trademark."
In fact, the appearance is a bit more colorful, and the fruits are all about the inlay of the word "Ning Rui". This trademark is simply out of date in later generations, but it really makes people very appetizing in this era.
What Gao He saw in other processing plants before was nothing more than a pile of fruits on the trademark and the name of his own factory was written on it, which looked like the circle of smiling apples in front of him, which was of course quite novel.
"What's the matter?" Qin Xuejuan smiled, "I just added eyes and mouth to the fruit."
"How happy this apple is to smile. Is it the style drawn by Sister Qin?"
"I drew it. I just learned some in my first year of college, it was purely amateur."
Gao He then realized that Qin Xuejuan had actually been to college and had a higher education than him. He graduated from junior high school and did not get into high school. Then he left his hometown to work in another place. Later, he learned to repair machines with a master, and then entered the machinery factory and became an expatriate technician.
The kitchen was ready and tables and chairs were placed inside to allow workers to eat here. She was going to buy a bed for the rest of the house. Of course, she also had a dirt kang, which was connected to the kitchen next door. In this way, the room would become very warm in winter for the mother-in-law to come and live there. As for them, they didn't need a dirt kang, just sleep on the bed.
The office has also been arranged, and the telephone is essential. Three desks, two bookshelfs, and other necessary things should be complete.
After that, I just waited for the factory to start construction.
The 12th is the day for Xu Ning’s high school entrance examination.
It is a very important day for many families.
Qin Xuejuan is naturally no exception.
When I woke up early in the morning, I still cooked eggs and fryed fried dough sticks. Compared to cooking, her skill in frying fried dough sticks is still very good, and of course it cannot reach the level of sale.
"Ningning, are you all ready? Check if the pen is easy to use, and there are other stationery." Qin Xuejuan walked in and saw that Xu Ning was ready.
"Don't worry, mom, I prepared it last night. I checked it aside just now, and there were no omissions." Xu Ning patted his schoolbag, "Did you make fried dough sticks and boiled eggs for me again?"
"I know you're asking." Qin Xuejuan smiled and pointed her daughter's eyebrows, "Let's have dinner soon."
Everyone in her family knew that she took the exam this year, and even if she didn't know, she could clearly see the breakfast at the dinner table.
Xu Ning's bowl has a fried dough stick and two eggs. If you can't eat enough, there will be steamed buns. However, Xu Ning's appetite is not big and the fried dough sticks are not small, which is enough.
"Don't be nervous about the exam. Answer the questions carefully. We will never make any mistakes in the questions we know." Xu Jianjun said.
"We didn't have so many rules at that time, and we could go if we had money. In other words, we had strict requirements when we went to college, but we were not like we are now." Qin Xuejuan said with emotion.
Xu Jianjun explained: "Returning back for more than ten years, there were not many students studying at that time. By simply taking the exam, the school might not be able to recruit many students. Moreover, not long after it was liberated, the power of knowledge was not as deep as it is now. Many people gave birth to more children purely for labor. I am the youngest child in my family, so I can always study."
"It's really a reason." The old lady nodded, "The school had existed twenty or thirty years ago. Now you see that there are 1,800 students in the school. At that time, there were only 40 or 50 people in the village. Those who have some strength had to go to the ground to earn work points. If you don't go to the ground and go to the school to make trouble, who can afford so many children?"
The old lady is because she has been studying since childhood and she will definitely not be able to see any big words in her children. No matter how poor she is, she will have to let them know a few more words in school.
At first, she wanted her two daughters to go to school, but unfortunately the damn old thief refused to agree. She cried and said that she was a prodigal girl and wanted to kill their old Xu family.
She wanted to persist before, but the old pious wife was amazing. Every time she sent her three children to school, the old pious woman could twist her hips and beat and scold her two granddaughters back. She made such a fuss several times, and the two daughters said they would not go anywhere, and almost angered her to death.
To be honest, Yu Chunhua has never seen such a shameless old woman. I really don’t know how to give birth to that good son.
Is it true that things will turn back when extremes are extremes?
After dinner, Xu Ning took his schoolbag and left the house, and welcomed the first level of life with the most relaxed attitude.
This exam is different from the past. It is placed according to the class and table numbers given to them by the school. Because they took the exam, all the other three academic years were on holiday.
Xu Ning took the exam in the classroom of Class 1, Grade 2, and each person occupies a position.
In this classroom, there are almost no students she is familiar with, and they are not considered part-time students. The invigilator has two in one class, occupying the front and back of the classroom, one man and one woman. This is also to prevent students from colluding to answer when they go to the toilet.
The two teachers Xu Ning didn't know him, but they both knew Xu Ning. After all, after the high school department moved to the county, Xu Ning was also a sensible figure in the entire school, and almost no one did not know her.
The first subject is the Chinese language exam. The two invigilators will walk back and forth in the examination room with their eyes as sharp as fire. In this case, even if some students bring the cheat sheet, they may not dare to take it out.
For an hour and a half, both teachers stayed by Xu Ning for a few seconds.
I was very satisfied when I saw her clean and tidy test papers and beautiful words.
The exam time is a total of two days, which is simply torture for some students, but for Xu Ning, it is just that the exam is the same as usual. It is just that the invigilator is a little stricter, but whether it is strict or not, she does not have the mentality of cheating, so it doesn't matter.
There are five high schools in the entire county, three in the town below and two in the county, but there are twelve towns in the entire county, and the five high schools simply cannot accommodate too many students, so the exam is the touchstone that determines whether you can go further.
The end of the exam is a long holiday. Whether you can enter high school requires you to wait for notifications at home. Their notification is to call the following schools after checking the grades in high school, then ask the teacher to notify the parents, and then take your student ID to report directly to the high school. Compared with the college admission notice, there is no "simple" statement, and it is a verbal notice at all.
But you don’t have to worry that you will not be able to admit you if you have enough scores. Your score is here, and it is not difficult to investigate the high school admission scores. This is all public and you will know it once you check it.
Although there may be disadvantages in this, developments in all aspects are explored and moved forward little by little after discovering the disadvantages, which is inevitable.
On the 18th, the Xu family came to the Ningrui Canning Processing Factory in the county. Today is the day when the factory is opened.
They didn't know anyone nearby, so naturally no one sent a celebration flower basket or something. Qin Xuejuan didn't need this, as long as the factory could start construction smoothly.
However, Xu Jianjun invited people from the unit to come to the factory to prepare for the opening meal, and Mayor Liang also brought his wife to join in the fun.
As soon as Mayor Liang came, when the people who knew Mayor Liang in the county learned about it, they also came over to join in the fun, and then shouted one by one.
When Qin Xuejuan realized that many well-known figures from the county and town governments had gathered in their small factory, which attracted many nearby bosses to join in the fun. They were curious that the background of this factory was so strong that it only opened its business, so many officials from the county government came over.
Qin Xuejuan is the owner of Ningrui Canning Factory. Xu Jianjun is not involved in this regard. His family is also considering his career. If you want to continue to rise, it is better not to interfere in this.
At 10:30 in the morning, Xu Ning started preparing lunch in the kitchen. There were 70 to 80 people present. According to eight people, we had to prepare ten tables of meals. Fortunately, the restaurant was two spacious rooms, so these people could still put them down. There were not enough tables and chairs, so the boss of the clothing factory next door supported him.
The old lady sat next to washing and picking vegetables. The women who came here to prepare for work also rolled up their sleeves and came to help. They could stay here for lunch. After all, they were the first batch of workers. In a few years, they would become "elders"-level figures. The boss left them here for free for opening meals, so they were naturally embarrassed to watch them. Besides, there might be leftovers in the future, and they might be allowed to take them home.
The pork was bought outside, and the pig at home was still small, so I naturally couldn't bear to kill it. The chicken also went to the vegetable market to buy four big roosters. The vegetables were all produced in the space, so in fact, this meal didn't cost much.
A few women saw Xu Ning standing in front of the stove, flipping the food in the pot, and wanted to come up to help, but they were rejected by Xu Ning. At least there were many well-known people who came here today. Although they came to join in the fun for the sake of Mayor Liang, their factory is in the county now, and no one can guarantee that they will not encounter any things that they cannot solve in the future. This may be troubled by others. Now she is just using her good cooking skills to leave a good impression on others.
Outside, Qin Xuejuan stood in front of others and said an opening speech. Because she is educated and has seen the world since she was a child, she has won applause and cheers.
Then he took the people over to look at the workshop and the machines. Gao He introduced the functions of the machines to everyone. At twelve o'clock, six strings of firecrackers were crackling at the entrance of the factory, which made people's ears roar.
After the sound of firecrackers, a thick layer of red paper was laid on the ground, which was particularly festive.
"Mayor Liang, you have to go there so much tiredness. Come in and prepare for the meal. Director Yang, Section Chief Jiang... Please come in and ask everyone." Xu Jianjun enthusiastically invited everyone to the restaurant, and then came to the kitchen and saw that his daughter was cooking. "Ningning, are you tired?"
As he said that, he took out a handkerchief and wiped Xu Ning's sweat from his forehead.
"Just cooking, how tired can you be?" Xu Ning raised his head and smiled at his father, "Is the meal going to start?"
"Setting off firecrackers, it's not like the meal." Xu Jianjun looked at the cooking next to her and said to her: "Save one a portion later. You and your grandmother and your brother will eat on the kang, and the house will be clean."
"I know." Xu Ning pointed to the prepared meal and said, "It's time to serve. I'll have three left here and it's over. You can cook while eating me, and it'll be fine soon."
"Okay." Xu Jianjun invited a few women to help, "Everyone, just serve the food and eat. You don't have to work here anymore. I hope you work hard in the factory in the future to make more money."
Several women who were helping with cooking here smiled and nodded, no one likes to listen to the good-looking words.
Besides, their stomachs were already hungry. Who would have thought that this little girl would cook so much that she could smell the fragrance of the food before she could even smell it, which aroused the greed in their stomachs.
The food was served, and only Xu Ning and the old lady who was eating for Xu Rui were left in the kitchen.
The dishes have been cleaned up, just fry them in the pan.
Xu Jianjun wanted to come in and help, but was kicked out by the old lady.
"You go out and guard Juan'er and let her drink with those people outside? You don't need you here."
At the dining table, Xu Jianjun and Qin Xuejuan sat at a table, which included Mayor Liang, several county section chiefs and directors and owners of the clothing factory next door.
After everyone put down their chopsticks, they tasted the food and praised it very much.
"This dish is delicious, who made it? Your unit still has the food at noon. Which chef did you hire?" Liang Xianjin ate a cabbage roll with chopsticks, and the taste was so memorable.
To be continued...
