All the women soldiers immediately became excited when they heard about the distribution of clothes.
In this era, cloth was very expensive because the raw materials for fabrics came from the land. If the land was planted with mulberry and hemp, food could not be grown. Therefore, clothes were as precious as food.
Every piece of cloth must be put to its best use. Three years for new ones, three years for old ones, and another three years for sewing and mending. When the parents have finished wearing them, they give them to their children. The eldest brother takes it off and gives it to the second child, who then gives it to the third child.
In the end, it really couldn't be connected into pieces. It was too crispy and I couldn't bear to throw it away. Use glue and paste it layer by layer to form a one centimeter thick cloth board. Use scissors to cut it out to make the soles of the cloth shoes with a thousand-layer sole.
Even if I find a piece of rag on the road, I will pick it up immediately and make a patch. If I can't make a patch, I can stick it together to make a shoe sole.
During their interview, they saw that everyone in the factory was wearing jackets and work clothes of the same color and style. They looked energetic and neat. They looked indescribably good-looking.
I didn’t expect that the factory would give out two complete sets of clothes from inside to outside every year. This was such an unexpected surprise. You can wear the clothes you own for your children.
Soon the female stewards from different workshops came to take roll call. The female steward of the wool cleaning workshop was an old palace maid in her forties. Her name was Ba Niu, and I heard she was from the Queen's Palace.
The maids in the palace usually have festive names, such as Tathagata, Fugui, etc. In addition, the most popular names are various girls. What about "big girl" and "three girls"

Li Ping followed Ba Niu in charge and came to the outside of the bath. After waiting for half an hour, it was their turn to go in and take a bath.
The people here are all female soldiers brought by Huang Siya from the Yang Mansion. They directed these female workers to take a bath in the hot water pool first, and then lay down on the wooden beds. The female soldiers, who were tall and thick, held burlap cloths in their hands.
Start scrubbing vigorously.
These big girls and young wives were rubbing each other until they were called daddy and mommy. They were all grinning in pain and screaming in pain. The scene was almost impossible to listen to.
After scrubbing and showering, I lathered up the soap and rinsed it off, and all of my skin suddenly regained its original color.
All of them are seventeen or eighteen years old, and they all say that there is no ugly girl in her twenties. After being cleansed, her whole temperament has changed.
Li Ping looked at herself in the big mirror. Her skin was no longer so dark. She felt shy and happy at the same time.
The little girl next to her who had not left the pavilion was even more rosy. Her face looked like a red apple, making people want to take a bite.
I wiped off the water on my body and came out from another passage. There were iron stoves burning along the way, which was very warm. I arrived at a hall inside, where clothes were distributed.
The female soldiers took their measurements with rope rulers and then called out their numbers.
The female soldiers at the back found a suitable set of clothes and shoes from the carton, brought them over, and gave them to them.
When they came out wearing work jackets and rubber shoes, they felt as if they were completely different people. There was a feeling of being reborn.
"Come here, come here. The factory has regulations that require you to cut your hair short. Long hair can easily get into the machine and tear your scalp off. You must cut your hair into ear-length hair." Some female soldiers shouted loudly.
These female soldiers all have short hair. Many of Yang Fan's rules were brought by later generations.
These women all cried and refused to cut their hair. However, their resistance was ineffective and they were restrained by the female soldiers and had their hair cut.
Each of these women burst into tears, as if they had been insulted.
"What are you crying about? It's just your hair. It looks so fresh and refreshing after a haircut. This time your hair will never compete with you for soup." Huang Siya came over at some unknown time.
There is a folk saying that hair absorbs nutrients from the soup people drink.
These women didn't cry for long, and they all burst into laughter because Huang Daya took them to the canteen to get food.
Because it was their first time away from home, the factory would not be too happy considering their emotions.
After all, these people usually stay at home. Now that they suddenly come to a special environment, they will definitely feel hesitation, loss, loneliness, helplessness, fear and other emotions in their hearts.
So today there is a special extra meal in the cafeteria, including snow-white steamed buns and bright red braised pork tubes. You can drink egg soup as you like.
My eyes were red from crying just now, but now they were shining brightly, and I was swallowing hard looking at such a good meal.
In recent years, life in the Beijing camp has also been very hard. The military pay is in arrears, and the civil servants have been ruined. The family is trying to provide relatively good food to the men who can make money. The women in the family only drink porridge.
, eat some wild vegetable dumplings or something.
White-flour steamed buns are affordable for ordinary people. Even though Xinghe Supermarket has provided food books for military households in the capital, they only dare to buy cornmeal and the like because it is cheap after all.
Although white noodles are much cheaper than those on the market, they dare not buy them because of the arrears of military pay.
Li Ping was so happy that she kept wiping her tears. This was the first time she had seen braised pork for her age.
She followed the team to the table, picked up the stainless steel dinner plate, and then walked to the cook to prepare the meal. Then, under the guidance of the steward, she took the tachyon, sat down on the table and chair, and started eating.
"Listen up, if you don't have enough to eat, you can go get some more food, but you are not allowed to waste it or take it away. Our factory does not cost money to eat, which is a welfare for everyone. But if you waste it, you will be charged according to the price of the meal."
At first, Li Ping was reluctant to eat and planned to pack some food to take back to her mother-in-law and two children. When she heard this, she realized that this was not allowed and started eating with some regret.
After coming out of the restaurant, many people were anxious to get to work. They all asked Banniu, the manager, when they could start work.
"Go to work, you think it's a good idea, you won't even be able to go to work in the first month."
"Ah, why."
"Yes, why don't you go to work?"
Ba Niu sneered and said: "Come to work, do you know how to do each process? Our factory uses steam engines as power, and textile machinery is driven by steam engines. If you work with the machine, if you are not careful,
It will cause an accident. Go to work! Don't think about it. This afternoon, first learn the rules and regulations of the factory."
"Starting from tomorrow, we will first learn the procedures and processes of each workshop and the standards of product quality. Then we will start studying under the guidance of technical staff in a few days. We can only start work next month after passing the assessment at the end of the month."
Suddenly, the women let out a sigh of regret. It seemed that they would receive nothing except basic salary in the first month.
They also know that they know nothing now and really don't know how to work. But when they think that piece rate wages will not be paid until next month, they feel very distressed.
