1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

For rural areas in Northeast China, it is really idle when it is idle.

For example, after winter, you can only go to the fields to pick up some firewood. But when it is busy? It is also really busy.

Especially when the weather gets warmer, the work of preparing for farming should be carried out.

Erdaoling Village is a special case, and it is earlier than others. And now, all villages are also taking action.

For farmers, it is really a year's plan that starts in spring.

If the work of preparing for farming is not done well, then you have no hope this year.

After working hard at home for two more days, Chen Tiezhu went to the county to get some money, and after returning home, he hurried to prepare dinner.

For others, today is just an ordinary day.

The mushroom house should be built, and it will be capped soon. After the walls are dry, the mushroom sticks can be pulled over.

But for the people of Jindoudou Company, today is a big day, the day when Chen Tiezhu officially pays them.

Fifty yuan a month, no matter how Tiezhu calculates it, it should be a month, right?

That's the fifty yuan in hand.

How can we not be excited?

Although fifty yuan is indeed a lot of money in Erdaoling Village, the main reason why everyone is so excited is that this money is not earned from selling grain and pigs at home, but from working.

After dinner, Chen Tiezhu used a thermos to brew two thermoses of tea, and then sat quietly, waiting for everyone to come.

"This guy, you are quite formal, just like you get paid." Old man Han said with a smile.

"That's a must, everyone finally sees the money, I'm not fooling around. Hehe, Uncle Jianguo came early." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Everyone looked through the window, and He Jianguo walked in with a pipe.

"This guy, am I too active?"

Walking into the house, He Jianguo asked in confusion.

"It's mainly because everyone is worried that my family will eat late and they are afraid of traffic accidents. They pour their own tea, and there are two thermoses." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Tiezhu, you don't know. When everyone was working today, they were all talking about your salary." He Jianguo said.

"Ah..., it's also because everyone usually earns too little. When the mushrooms are grown, we can pay ourselves in the future." Chen Tiezhu said.

"I have been thinking about one thing these two days. I don't know whether it is better to put the company's headquarters in the town or in the county. If it is in the town, some comrades will have to commute."

"It's better to put it in the county. Although most of the work is done here, many people don't need to come here." Han Xiuying said.

"And if there is something going on in the county, the transportation will be more convenient. Otherwise, everyone will have to ride bicycles and go to and from work so far every day, which is too tiring."

"Okay, then listen to Yingzi and put it in the county. We will think about a place later. We can't always borrow the site of the machinery factory." Chen Tiezhu nodded.

They each have their own advantages. The only difference is that the current transportation is inconvenient, otherwise he really wants to put it in the town.

After chatting, everyone came over one after another.

"Before paying wages, let me say a few words." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"In the future, our wages will be paid on the due date every month. When the company's financial system is established in the future, there will be special people to worry about this matter."

"This time, we will pay according to two months' wages. January and February, and then there will be a part of the bonus, which is a back pay."

"Tiezhu, this is too much? We didn't work just after the Chinese New Year." Hu Yadong said.

"Yes, everyone knows that money is good. But you give too much, and it's too hot for everyone to take." Qi Lianshan also spoke up.

"Brother Tiezhu, even if you take care of the villagers, we have to do things impartially." Li Tongda said.

...

The rest of the people also spoke up, and they all felt that the salary payment month announced by Chen Tiezhu was too much.

"Are you all done with your grumbling? Now it's my turn." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"In fact, everyone's thinking has not changed yet. It's still a habit to work a day and earn a day's salary. But a serious company is not like this. If there is no work, the money should be paid. Otherwise, what's the company for?"

"In other words, I actually took advantage of everyone. After all, I have been in the company for more than two months, but it's taken."

"This is a company, and the company has its own rules and regulations. I can't just find loopholes to deduct everyone's salary, so this is nothing."

"Everyone's salary is in an envelope. Professor Xu and his two assistants are also here. Everyone can take it according to their names., then sign and fingerprint on the book, and it's done. "

But after he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, but still did not take action.

"What's wrong with this guy? Is my money so hot to hold?" Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Tiezhu asked everyone to take it, so everyone took it. It's better to do it in a formal way, otherwise how can we pay next month's salary. Uncle Jianguo, you take the lead." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"Ah? And mine? Didn't I come later? I just came here to watch the fun." He Jianguo asked in surprise.

"That's also necessary, but yours is less, just the salary and bonus for February." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Okay, everyone, don't be hypocritical. Tiezhu pays us wages, so we take it, and we all work hard in the future, isn't that the end? "

After saying that, He Jianguo walked to the dining table, found his name, and then froze.

"Tiezhu, the monthly bonus is ten yuan?" He Jianguo asked in surprise.

"Of course, although you didn't do any serious work, you helped in my mushroom house. So our bonus can't be vague, and there will be more in the future." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Hey..., why are you so kind?"

He Jianguo sighed, picked up a pen to sign, pressed his fingerprints, and then turned out his salary bag.

Everyone looked at it, so let's take it too.

The mood is really beautiful. Two months' salary is one hundred yuan, plus the bonus, that's one hundred and twenty yuan.

"Everyone count it, you have to count it in person when you pass the money."

Seeing that everyone took the salary bag and put it directly into their pockets, Chen Tiezhu became even more helpless.

"Brother Tiezhu, what are you worried about giving it to everyone? "Li Tongda said indifferently.

Chen Tiezhu rolled his eyes, "It doesn't matter who gave it, you have to count it. This is the formal rule, and it will be the same in the future."

Hearing him say this, everyone took out their salary bags a little embarrassedly and started counting the money.

One by one, the big unity passed through their fingers, and the smiles on everyone's faces slowly bloomed.

This feeling is really good, so happy.

"Okay, after counting the money, let's hold a small meeting."

After everyone finished counting the money, Chen Tiezhu said something.

Everyone's expression suddenly became serious.

I am not an ordinary farmer anymore, but now I have a company, so my attitude must be correct.
