After making your choice, the next step is to choose accounting.
Wang Shouquan stood on the stage, "This accounting work is very important. Not only do you have to keep good accounts, but you also have to be bold. As everyone has seen, the food factory is very profitable, so accountants must go to work on time. If they are absent, they need to ask for leave from Director Qian."
Everyone backed off when they heard the conditions. They couldn't go out during the day.
"How many work points a day?"
This question has been discussed before, and Wang Shouquan answered directly, "Ten. Responsible for accounting and recording the attendance of factory employees. Also, due to lack of manpower, I have to guard the warehouse during the day. At night, I have to take turns on duty with others."
Only ten? Everyone was a little unhappy.
For example, when they raise chickens, they only need to go to the chicken farm a few times a day, and then they can go to the fields to feed the chickens.
Even private teachers can go to the fields when they don't have classes. This accountant is really a rip-off, actually having to stay in the food factory all day.
There are actually a lot of people who meet this condition, but most of them have jobs, such as private teachers and chicken farmers.
When they heard that there were only ten work points, everyone was unhappy.
Li Chunhua was very excited. She ran to Qian Shulan from behind and whispered, "Mom, why don't you let Zhuzi be the accountant?"
Qian Shulan looked at her, very unhappy, "What nonsense are you talking about? Zhuzi has already been admitted to high school, how can he be an accountant?"
Li Chunhua, "High school doesn't guarantee job placement. It's useless to study. Why don't I come down and learn to be an accountant from you?"
Qian Shulan glanced at her calmly, which made Li Chunhua's scalp tingle. "Mom, it's creepy that you look at me like that."
"I don't agree. Your family doesn't need Zhuzi to feed them. Besides, he has passed the exam, so let him study."
Li Chunhua wanted to refute, but when she saw the threatening look from her mother-in-law, she could only hold back her words.
Sun Daqin just saw Li Chunhua coming over and thought there might be some gossip to hear, so she had already switched seats with Xiao Min.
After the people left, she laughed and said, "I think she is crazy about making money. Zhuzi is only fifteen, why is she in such a hurry?"
Qian Shulan frowned. It was not difficult to guess what Li Chunhua was thinking. Didn't she just want Zhuzi to make money urgently and then prove to the villagers that her son was filial
But she was being a little too aggressive. Qian Shulan glanced at Zhu in the crowd and was relieved to see that he looked normal.
This time, Zhuzi failed to get into technical secondary school, but fortunately he was recommended to go to high school.
Two years of high school, and after graduation it was 1972, and there were still five years before the college entrance examination. I don’t know how much he can still remember.
Qian Shulan was in a daze when she heard Wang Shouquan shouting on the stage with a megaphone, "Who wants to run for accountant?"
Because classes were suspended during the Cultural Revolution, the high school graduates in their production team were relatively old.
Either they are about to get married or they are already married.
Both types of people want to earn more money for their families, and only ten work points a day are not considered high.
If you raise chickens and work in the fields at the same time, you can earn at least 20 work points a day.
Except for some girls who stood up to run for election, all the strong men returned to their seats.
Of course, the educated youth are exceptions.
There are twenty-six people in this election.
Most of them were wives who married in from outside the family, including Zhengjun’s wife Lin Yulan.
Sun Daqin was a little unhappy. "Is this child stupid? The accountant has to stay in the food factory from morning to night, and she actually went up to choose. Is she mentally ill?"
Qian Shulan didn't comment. According to her, since the family had already been divided, "Don't worry about them. Let them learn to manage the family themselves. If they don't have money, they will know the consequences after they go hungry a few times."
Sun Daqin was so angry that she kept humming, but she still didn't pull the man down.
Qian Shulan didn't go up and say anything this time, but in the end Lin Yulan got more votes.
People were not very interested in accounting, so there was no response.
After all, this is an opportunity that most people give up.
After Wang Shouquan announced Lin Yulan as the new accountant, he reminded her, "You are still too young. You should give the collected accounts to the factory director for safekeeping. It is too dangerous to keep them yourself."
Lin Yulan agreed with a smile and came down from the stage happily.
Those educated youth felt disappointed when they found out that they were not even given a chance to take the accounting position.
After making this announcement, Wang Shouquan did not forget to add, "As for the director of the food factory, we will hold a new election at the end of the year at the summary meeting. For now, Director Qian will take on the concurrent position."
The next step is to distribute the money.
"We will divide it based on the number of people this time, and we will deduct it in proportion at the end of the year."
The money is also divided 50-50.
This is very important, but these educated youth have no part in it.
Qian Shulan looked at the pitiful appearance of these people and comforted them, "If you have extra eggs, you can sell them to the food factory. The price is three cents each."
The educated youth's eyes lit up. Last year they raised a hundred hens, and they started laying eggs in the spring.
But they ate all the eggs themselves and never sold them.
Someone suggested quietly, "Eating eggs every day is a bit too extravagant, let's sell them too."
One hundred hens can lay about sixty eggs a day. The educated youth ate eggs three times a day and enjoyed it very much. But now when they see others giving out money, they become jealous again.
Kong Qiuyun felt very regretful when she saw that each of them could receive 68.46 yuan. She should have sold the eggs earlier. "Okay, I agree with this, too."
Others also expressed their agreement.
The show ended quickly.
Qian Shulan held Xiao Min's hand, and her and Xiao Min's benches were held by Deng Yunping and Deng Xingming. The two walked in front, chatting from time to time, and occasionally Deng Yunping's happy laughter could be heard.
When the educated youth passed by her, they all looked at her with envy.
Sun Daqin hugged the bench and touched Qian Shulan's arm, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Mom, you didn't let me quarrel with others before, were you waiting for this day?"
Her mother-in-law had a good temper, but she was better at quarreling than she was. But this time she kept silent, which she always found strange.
It was not until today's incident that Sun Daqin suddenly came to her senses.
Qian Shulan looked around and saw people everywhere, but no one answered her question.
Others greeted Qian Shulan one after another, and a few thanked her.
Qian Shulan was polite to all these people.
When they got home, Deng Yunping went to the kitchen to cook, and Xiao Min ran over to help her.
Sun Daqin grabbed Qian Shulan's arm and kept asking questions.
Qian Shulan was frightened by her pestering and could only reply, "Yes, I have already planned it."
Whether it was the grievances, the money from the food factory, or even Deng Yunping's number plate today, they were all calculated by her.
Sun Daqin held her chin with both hands, full of admiration, "Mom, let alone other things, I admire you just for your patience."
That's what she noticed.
Sun Daqin sighed heavily and said, "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to hold it in and would have fought with him a long time ago. You are a man who does great things, and I am only fit to run errands for you."
Qian Shulan thought of her temper and glared at her, "You should stop gossiping about others in the future. It will save a lot of trouble for the family."
Sun Daqin sighed for a while, "I suddenly realized that you are right."
Qian Shulan asked her casually, "What's right?"
Sun Daqin's eyes sparkled, "We were both wronged. Although I felt good at the moment, fighting with others will hurt both sides, regardless of whether we can win or not. But you kept silent and used their guilt to help Yunping get the spot. I feel you are right. Mom, I want to learn from you in the future."
Qian Shulan shook her head and told her the story of Sister Lin. "People's sympathy is limited, and so is their sense of shame and guilt. Talking too much will only bore people."
Sun Daqin lowered her head and thought deeply. When Deng Xingming got into trouble before, she also reflected on it and thought about not talking about other people's affairs anymore. But after persisting for half a month, she relapsed into her old ways. But this time, Sun Daqin was completely overturned. In the past, when she gossiped about others, she was just passing on the message, and she didn't have any opinions at all, and she didn't get any benefits at all. But her mother-in-law could.
Sun Daqin felt mixed emotions and turned to look at her mother-in-law. "Mom, when you were misunderstood, weren't you angry? It was you who built the chicken farm in our production team, but those people were so mean and wanted to pull you down."
Seeing that she actually believed what she just said, Qian Shulan was a little speechless, "I just said it casually, you don't really think someone wants to get me out of office, do you?"
Sun Daqin looked at her mother-in-law stupidly, "Isn't it?"
Qian Shulan stroked her forehead. "Although these people are a bit ungrateful, and there are indeed a few people who covet my position as factory director, they don't have the guts to do that. At most, they just follow the trend and say a few gossips. They are not so bad as to pull me down. I just said that for everyone's face. I can't just point at everyone's noses and scold them, saying that you are all ungrateful bastards? If you do that, everyone will be angry and not only will they not sympathize with me, but they may even hate me more and think that I am aggressive."
This is why she still wants to open a food processing factory even though her son-in-law is the head of the purchasing department. Even if the whole county raises chickens, their production team's eggs will not have trouble selling (because her son-in-law is the head of the purchasing department). Although these people are selfish and nagging, they still have many advantages, such as being very hardworking, able to endure hardships, very hardworking, and very obedient.
The factory was full of people like this, who helped her accumulate initial capital. After the reform and opening up, it would not be so difficult for her to start a business again.
Sun Daqin felt that her brain was about to shut down. What her mother-in-law said was what she meant. She thought someone was really trying to get her out of office.
She couldn't help but give Qian Shulan a thumbs up and instantly turned into a fangirl, "Mom, you are so awesome!"
Qian Shulan has been working for so long that she has seen all kinds of people. Her style of dealing with people and things has long been determined. She is not aggressive and tends to be tactful.
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
After Sun Daqin finished praising, she held her chin with her hands as if she was thinking about something.
Qian Shulan felt a little hungry, so she got up and went to the kitchen.
Deng Yunping was already cooking. When she saw her mother coming in, she hurriedly said, "Mom, it will be ready soon."
Qian Shulan took a look at the bowl and said with a click of the tongue, "Oh my goodness, braised pork and potatoes, this dish is really fresh."
Deng Yunping wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve. "You used to cook for me, so let me cook today. This dish was thought up by Xiao Min. I think it should be delicious."
Qian Shulan looked down at Xiaomin who was making a fire and laughed, "How did you think of making it like this?"
Xiao Min was concentrating on lighting the fire, and she did not forget to answer her grandmother's question, "My aunt said she wanted to cook delicious dishes for you, and I said you like braised pork and shredded potatoes the most. I thought I would mix these two together, you should like it more, right?"
Qian Shulan smiled lovingly and helplessly. She was really defeated by her. It turned out that being right is right and can even be used in cooking.
After a while, the dishes were ready. Deng Yunping served the dishes and handed Qian Shulan a pair of chopsticks. "Mom, try it first."
Seeing her staring at her with her lips pursed as if she was very nervous, Qian Shulan took it and tasted it. Her eyes immediately lit up, "This tastes really good. The potatoes are stewed very well, and the aroma of the braised meat has all entered the potatoes."
Deng Yunping immediately beamed with joy, "Really? I want to try it too."
As he said this, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Seeing Xiao Min staring at them, Qian Shulan immediately picked up some food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
She chewed the meat, her eyes narrowed into slits, "This meat is more tender and tastes better."
When the food was served, everyone scrambled for the pot of braised pork and potatoes.
The author has something to say: I have made some changes, really, and this chapter and the next one will be it!
The follow-up work "The Struggle History of the 1970s" has been renamed "The Drama Couple of the 1970s", a double ensemble of love and struggle. If you like it, remember to collect it. The post will be published next month.
