Zhou Xiaomei and Tu Ya came on the third day after Ya Ru had her bones fixed. They came just in time to give Lao Tan time. They took the opportunity to invite Director Wu, the attending physician and the dean to have a meal. After the meal, Zhou Xiaomei came back and asked
He reported on the business situation in the past two months.
Generally speaking, it has basically returned to normal. Employees are emotionally stable, enthusiastic about work, and more cohesive than before.
"Uncle, let me tell you something." Zhou Xiaomei said: "Five stores were closed on the first day of the new year. There are many former employees in these five stores, and they all want to come back."
Lao Tan asked: "How many people are there?"
Zhou Xiaomei said: "More than fifty people."
"What do you think?"
"I'm not sure yet. It stands to reason that we won't accept their job-hopping, but it makes us a little bit sad to see them without work ------"
Lao Tan calculated and said: "The average salary for one person is 3,500 yuan, plus additional expenses, it is 4,000 yuan, and for 50 people, it is 200,000 yuan. Do you think this investment is cost-effective?"
Zhou Xiaomei said: "I have calculated that it is equivalent to the overall investment of a store. According to the current business conditions, accepting them is equivalent to supporting them in vain, and they have to pay wages. But if we plan to reserve for the future, we are suitable. These people are
It’s a skilled job and you can start the job without any training, so I think it’s worth it.”
Lao Tan said: "Please be more detailed."
Zhou Xiaomei said: "Our family has no plans to open a store in the past two years, but the loss of employees is inevitable. For example, some are preparing to start their own businesses, some are changing careers, some are getting married and there are weddings, and some are inevitably changing jobs.
Taking in these fifty people seems to be a waste of money, but when there is a shortage of people, you can step in, isn't that uncle?"
Lao Tan nodded and said: "It also saves the training process. The most important thing is to solve their practical difficulties. It is estimated that these people will not change jobs in the future." Then he said: "Then you can arrange it. We can directly operate it first.
Come to the store and try not to cause any trouble to the cooperative store."
After Zhou Xiaomei and Tuya left, Lao Tan called Yanhua and communicated the matter to her, and Yanhua agreed.
In the days that followed, Lao Tan settled down to take care of Yaru. With the nursing experience from the last time, he was more familiar with it than before.
In the past, it was Yaru who took care of Lao Tan, but now it is Lao Tan's turn to take care of Yaru. Haha, it is cause and effect, and it is also karma. So the Buddha said that all causes and conditions are predestined, and only after three lives and three lives can everything be completed. Good causes and good results will eventually be rewarded.
, good fortune and longevity.
A week later, the plaster on Yaru's leg was removed, but her leg still couldn't bear the pain. She couldn't walk on the ground, but she could bend back and forth while sitting on the bed.
From the X-ray, it can be seen that the bones are well connected, there is no dislocation, the fractures are tightly closed, and there are almost no signs of fracture. The rest is rehabilitation training.
After training that day, Lao Tan pushed Yaru in a wheelchair in the back yard of the hospital.
The back area is very large, with a basketball court and a badminton court, as well as various equipment to assist in rehabilitation training, such as double rows of support handrails, hangers, and backrests specially used for patients with lumbar prolapse.
The greening of the site is very good, surrounded by tall and straight poplar trees with lush foliage. Three flower beds with flowers in full bloom are scattered in the site. Dwarf pine and shrub elm are planted beside the flower bed, and between the dwarf pine and shrub elm.
It is a long chair for people to rest.
To the north, beyond the poplar trees, is a large cornfield that is growing gratifyingly, covering more than fifty acres by visual inspection.
"Come to the cornfield and have a look." Yaru said, pointing to the corn.
Lao Tan pushed her to the cornfield, and when she got closer, she discovered that there was an iron fence, and the two of them could only look through the fence.
"The corn is growing so well. It will be harvested in another month," Yaru said.
"Well, it's almost September." Lao Tan said.
"It's almost August Festival."
"Well, it's October 1st."
"It's a good time this year, National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are one day."
"That's not the case."
"I am discharged from the hospital and want to go home and celebrate the August Festival at home," Yaru said.
"Okay, I've been home too, but the epidemic started right after the Chinese New Year, so I haven't been home to see my mother," Lao Tan said.
"Does your family still have land?" Yaru asked, looking at the cornfield in front of her.
"Yes, it's all taken care of."
"Oh, my land has not been contracted out. My father and mother are planting it. This year it is all corn. I can help them harvest for a few days when I go back."
"How much land is there in total?" Lao Tan asked.
"My family has little land. Each person has four acres of land. Including my father and mother's land, there are a total of twelve acres. We have made a profit for five days."
"Is your dad still working as a bricklayer?"
"I stopped working a long time ago, how old are I? Now my mother and I farm twelve acres of land at home and raise more than ten pigs. The old couple has enough to eat, and they can still save some money after a year."
"Good days." Lao Tan said: "When I get old, I will go back to the countryside, plant a few acres of land, tend a vegetable garden, raise some chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, drink some wine and listen to a show when I have nothing to do, and be leisurely."
Yaru said: "Our rural areas are better. As long as people in rural areas are not lazy, they will never go hungry. They hardly need to buy vegetables all summer. They eat what they can't eat in the garden, and they don't use chemical fertilizers or pesticides."
You don’t need too many chickens, just a dozen or so are enough, and you can’t even eat the eggs. Ducks have a bad mouth and can be eaten, but I don’t want to raise them. Big geese are okay. You don’t need dogs to raise big geese. They can look after your home and care for your home.
.”
"Then you have to keep a dog. Dogs are human beings and are companions," Lao Tan said.
"What? You just want to be alone?" Yaru asked.
"That's not true. I would like to keep a dog."
"I also like dogs. When I was a child, my family had a big black dog called Heizi. He was sensible and not arrogant at all. He would follow my mother when she was shoveling the ground in the mountains, and she wouldn't run around when she was in the fields. When will my mother come back?
When will it come back? It's like a bodyguard.
I'll play with it for a while after school, and if I get along well with it, I can ride it.
When I was in junior high school, one day he didn't come back. I couldn't find it anywhere, and I was very upset. My dad said that sunspots are old, cats always return to the mountains, tigers always return to their burrows, and dogs never shed tears when they leave home. It was
I was afraid that my master would be sad if I died, so I left home before I died and found a place where no one was around to die."
"Dogs do do that------"
"My family has never had a dog since then - now I see other people raising dogs and I want to get one, but when I think about the death of a dog, I get scared and don't dare to keep one."
Lao Tan said: "You can't raise them in the city. They are called pets in the city and they don't have the spirituality of the ones raised in the countryside. I like the native dogs over there, which are pastoral dogs. They are good at looking after homes and homes. They are also smart and can go up the mountain in winter.
Can chase rabbits."
"There are almost no dogs in our house - all the dogs we have now are pet dogs, and they don't care about the home at all. Just like our ancestors, they don't have a goose to take care of them."
After Yaru finished speaking, she smiled and continued: "Actually, Beautiful Valley is quite nice. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters. You can also go skiing in winter. Let's go there when we get older."
"Okay." Lao Tan said.
"It's just that the garden is a bit small and I can't grow many vegetables, but it's enough for two people. If I have nothing to do, I go up to the mountain to check the firewood and burn whatever I can't burn. It doesn't cost much a month, so it's convenient to buy everything. The most important thing is that you can dance and watch Yangko at night.
Two-person turn."
"The main thing is that the water is good, the air is good, and the people are fine."
"That's not true." Yaru raised her face and said with a smile, "That's it. When we get old, we will go and no one will tell."
