Chapter 619 Six Occasions and Fine Factory Flowers (44)
In fact, bathing for five cents is not cheap, and it doesn’t cost much.
Carrying water used to be troublesome, but now there are pressurized wells and a method of collecting water from rivers called siphon invented by Xu Yin. There is no need for manpower to fetch or carry water. There is only one person on duty to take care of it so that the water does not stop.
Just like that, one person gets five cents, two people get one cent, three people get fifteen cents...
Director Qi looked at the account book handed over by Accountant Xiao, and his eyebrows were raised in surprise: "Oh! So many?"
Accountant Xiao smiled happily: "This is as of yesterday. I haven't counted the bathing tickets I handed in today."
"..."
Why should we expand and expand our business? We might as well open a bathhouse as a side job!
Of course this is a joke, it is impossible to really run a bathhouse as a side job.
Otherwise, what else would it be called a breeding farm?
But during this period a year ago, it is true that this bathhouse, which is not considered a side job, made a lot of extra money for the breeding farm.
Director Qi was so happy that he used some of it to purchase a batch of cooking oil and rice noodles and returned them to the employees as extra benefits.
This year, the farm workers are so happy.
With grains, oils, rice, noodles, pork and live chickens, every family can have a prosperous New Year.
For the batch of tender chickens I purchased earlier, I let them peck at insects and eat grass under the walnut tree during the day, and then rushed back to the chicken coop at night to feed them a meal of wheat bran.
After three months, the chickens have become big and fat. Not to mention the roosters, the hens are very ferocious and their wings are extremely powerful.
Employees who only bought one regretted it. They should have bought two more.
Chickens and ducks during the Chinese New Year are so expensive. If you have a ticket, you may not be able to buy them, and the ones you buy are not so fat.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. If you miss it, you will miss it.
If there is no such store in this village, things will not be so good next year. Next year, the government will raise its own chickens and sheep, and there will be no space for employees to subscribe.
Of the five chickens Xu Yin subscribed to, two were planned to be raised by Sheng Yujin from the beginning, and he was asked to take them home during the Chinese New Year.
There are three left, two are kept for me to eat slowly, and one is taken home to be used as food for the New Year party.
In addition, she also received one more bonus and two more prizes than other employees.
The bonus was given to her by the farm manager Qi as a reward for her contribution to the farm in the past six months.
Without her, the farm would still be the same as in previous years, except for some scraps of pork, pig bones, and pig offal, and nothing else. He would not receive awards from the leaders.
Therefore, he gave this bonus quite happily.
The two prizes are for the advanced individual and the municipal model worker. The former was given to her by the factory union - an enamel cup, and the latter was given to her by the city union - a set of enamel basins, soap and towels.
Suit.
The red list is still posted in every factory department. How could Xu's mother not know that her fourth child was rated as an advanced and model worker, so she expected her to take the enamel basin and enamel cup home and save them to marry Xiaowu a wife.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yin never thought about taking these things back. Firstly, it was too troublesome, and secondly, Sheng Yujin actually went to apply for a wedding room.
Director Qi received the contact form from the main factory and even called Xu Yin to tease her a little:
"If you want to get a house approved for your marriage, just come to me directly. It's just a few steps away. How convenient. Why do you ask your partner to go to the main factory to get the approval? The approval is for the staff housing of our breeding farm, no?
It will still fall into my hands..."
Xu Yin: "..."
She never thought that her Comrade Xiaojin was so anxious. The wedding date had not yet been decided, so she went to apply for a wedding room.
Fortunately, she and he are both employees of a textile factory. If two working people apply for a marriage house, the factory will definitely arrange it. Especially if one is a backbone of the transportation department and the other is an advanced farmer, they must be given priority no matter what.
Director Qi asked her to choose: "It's a pity that you are a year late. Last year at this time, the building had just been built, and any room you chose was a good room. Now that the building is full, there is only one room next to the stairs. Not only is it small,
There is only one window. There are several empty rooms over there in the bungalow, but you young people must prefer the building..."
Xu Yin said without hesitation: "I choose a bungalow."
The bungalow has a yard, and the yard is huge. You can plant whatever you want.
"Ah?" Director Qi said in surprise, "The bungalow is an old house left before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The floor is mud. Are you used to it?"
Xu Yin thought about it and asked, "The mud floor is very damp. Can I pave it with bamboo to slightly improve it?"
"Of course you can if you want to spend time tinkering with it."
In this way, she chose a bungalow at the east end as her wedding room.
The house has windows on three sides. The east window looks out to the river less than thirty meters away. On the other side of the river is the farmland of nearby villages. The view is very open and the scenery is very good.
Separated by a wall to the west is the young couple who work for Sister Tian. They just got married this year. They don't have many kind words. Rather than leaving the house empty now, it would be better to choose your own neighbors when a family of colleagues who are uncertain about their personalities will move in.
All in all, she was very satisfied with the fact that there were more summer bugs in this house.
She is not afraid of insects. She has insect-proof plants and herbs, planted in and outside the courtyard, and supplemented by insect-repellent sachets and mosquito-repellent lotion. The insect-proof effect is great. Maybe there will be fewer mosquitoes in her house than in the building.
Now that the wedding room has been applied for, the brand new enamel basin, enamel cups, etc. are naturally reserved for my wedding.
Not to mention her own prizes, even the Phoenix Peony porcelain teapot with a copper ring that Sheng Yujin brought back at the end of the year for outstanding backbones was also placed here.
On the New Year's Day, Xu Yin carried back a chicken, two bottles of old wine bought for Xu's father and a pack of fried peanuts for drinking.
Xu's mother was overjoyed when she saw the chicken she brought back. This year, her second son married a daughter-in-law, and it was the first time for the new daughter-in-law to celebrate the New Year at her husband's house. The New Year's Eve dinner couldn't be too shabby, but now it's better, with a big meat dish.
"Fourth brother, don't you give out pork in your farm?" Xu's mother brought the chicken into the kitchen and asked Xu Yin casually, "And what about the prizes you get for being rated as advanced and model workers? I heard that there are enamel basins and enamel cups. You
Give it to me and save money on it next time Xiao Wu gets married."
Xu Yin was washing the cabbage and said to her slowly: "Isn't it too early for Xiao Wu to get married? He can make his own money. Like me, if he is rated as an advanced worker and a model worker, he will have an enamel basin and an enamel cup."
?Oh, this year there is one more towel and one more piece of soap than in previous years."
Xu’s mother: “…”
If you are a model worker, your progress is like cabbage. Anyone can judge you?
He curled his lips and said, "Your brother will go to high school and enter college in the future. How can he start working so soon?"
"Then don't get married so quickly. Love will delay his future."
"..."
Xu's mother was so shocked that she was speechless.
Seeing her pulling the chicken feathers hard, Xu Yin raised her eyelids and said, "Mom, please be gentle. With such a strong hand, you will peel off the skin of the chicken. My chicken is fat and eats bugs, chicken grass and chaff."
Growing up, there is no smell at all, and the chicken skin is fragrant, tender, and delicious... By the way, why is my chicken a meat dish in our family? Where is the eldest sister? Where is the second brother? Where is the third sister? They bought it for the family.
