Chapter 347 Privilege
There are braised chicken, braised duck, pork head meat, peanuts, etc., and there are quite a lot of them, otherwise they wouldn't be packed in an extra-large mesh bag.
As soon as Li Jia entered the train station, he saw Lao Li and Lao Zhao.
He quickly ran over.
Of course Lao Li also saw him and asked: "Why did you come here?"
"I said, Lao Li, you are leaving now. If I don't come to see you off, it won't make sense no matter what!"
"You can pull it down!"
"Xiao Li." At this time Aunt Tian and Aunt Feng came over.
"Aunt Tian."
"Aunt Feng."
"Are you here to see us off?" Aunt Feng asked.
"Yes, I'll bring you something to eat on the way." Li Jia said, handing over a mesh bag.
"So many?"
"There are many of you and the journey is long, so these may not be enough." Li Jiayi scratched his head and said.
"That's true."
"Xiao Li! I'm leaving this time. I don't know when I can come back. If you miss me, this old guy, you can find me when you have time." Lao Li came over and said at this time.
"No problem! I will go there when I have time."
It's okay for Li Jiayi to go over, but it's a bit unrealistic for Lao Li to come back. At least he won't be able to come back within seven or eight years.
"Well! That's it, it's time for us to get in the car."
"Okay, Lao Li."
"Goodbye, Xiao Li." Lao Zhao also waved to Li Jiayi.
"Goodbye, Old Zhao."
After seeing off Lao Li and Lao Zhao, Li Jia came out of the station and drove his jeep to the woolen mill.
Although it is not the time to deliver supplies, Li Jiayi still likes to stay in the factory if nothing happens.
At least that's the case now.
The reason for this is because Li Jiayi knows very well what is going on in the woolen mill, let's put it that way! Other factories may cause chaos, but woolen mills will not.
This is mainly because woolen mills are basically all female workers. As for the ratio of female to male workers in woolen mills, let’s put it this way! Probably ten to one.
As far as Li Jiayi knows, all workers in the security department, warehouse, truck shift and loading and unloading department are male workers.
Other departments are basically all female workers, and even if there are some departments with male workers, they are very few.
A factory like this is basically free from chaos, and Director Qiao also has very good control over the woolen mill.
In ten years, most factories will be in chaos, but it is not the case that there will be no chaos.
Most of these factories are factories where female workers are the main workers.
Because female workers don’t have so many things to do. They just want to support their families and do a good job.
This is also the reason why Li Jiayi has been staying in the factory for a while.
Of course, Li Jiayi still has a certain say in this woolen mill. His eldest brother Li Chengqian is now a squadron leader.
There are three teams below, managing dozens of people.
And these people are all carefully selected, and they are basically veterans.
Li Jiayi also gave them enough help. Even if something happens, he will definitely stand by Li Jiayi.
Of course, this does not mean that other people in the Woolen Mill Security Office are restless. To be honest, the people in the Woolen Mill Security Office are quite peaceful because they are basically veterans.
The director of the security department is at the deputy department level and is also in the city bureau, but basically he still stays in the woolen mill.
And this director is Factory Director Qiao's old subordinate, and he and Factory Director Qiao transferred to other places.
The two deputy directors are also retired soldiers. Although they are not Factory Director Qiao's old subordinates, they are both veterans.
There are three departments under the Security Department, which are divided into Security Section 1, Section 2 and Section 3.
There are three brigades under each section, three squadrons under each brigade, and three squadrons under each squadron.
Each team has eleven people, one team leader and ten team members.
Each squadron has one squadron leader, two deputy squadron leaders, plus three squadrons, totaling thirty-six people.
Each brigade has one captain, two deputy captains, plus three squadrons, a total of 121 people.
Each section has one section chief, two deputy section chiefs, plus three brigades, totaling 366 people.
In other words, the entire security department, including the director and two deputy directors, has a total of 1,101 people.
Among these 1,101 people, there are more than 1,000 soldiers who have returned from their jobs.
This is something that other factories simply don't dare to think about. To put it bluntly, it is because the First Woolen Textile Factory is special that there are so many retired soldiers.
You must know that the things produced by woolen mills are either woolen materials or woolen materials. It can be said that they are not usable by ordinary people at all.
Some of the woolen and woolen materials produced by woolen mills are used by the government and the army, and the other part is exported to earn foreign exchange.
It can be imagined how tightly protected a place like this is, so it is absolutely safe for Li Jiayi to stay in the woolen mill.
Also, there will be some fluctuations at the beginning of the ten-year period, but basically there won’t be any big problems later.
After arriving at the factory, Li Jiayi went directly to the purchasing department.
He is a special one in the third department of procurement and has his own independent office.
In terms of administrative level, he is one level higher than the section chief. The section chief is the deputy division chief at the fifteenth administrative level, while he is the deputy division chief at the fourteenth administrative level.
Of course, in terms of position, he is lower than the section chief. He is the section chief, but he only has the title of deputy section chief.
When he came to the office, Li Jiayi pretended to carry the thermos to turn on the water.
In fact, he didn't fight at all, it was just a show. He had already replaced the hot pot with boiling spiritual spring water.
There is spiritual spring water, who is going to drink tap water?
After getting the boiling water back, Li Jiayi made himself a pot of tea and sat in the office to drink it.
It can be said that he is the most relaxed person in the entire purchasing department.
Basically not as busy as others.
Even the section chief is not as relaxed as him! Because he doesn't need to worry about completing the task.
The section chief also has to rack his brains because the purchaser below cannot complete the task.
At noon, Li Jiayi came to the cafeteria with his lunch box.
He didn't need to go to the dining hall in front, he could go to the kitchen by himself. This was his privilege.
He is also the only one who has this privilege.
"Here you are? What do you want to eat?" Seeing him coming, Liao Kai came up and asked.
"What's delicious?" Li Jiayi asked quickly.
"Today we have braised pork and braised chicken."
"Then bring me these two, and bring me two steamed buns."
"Okay, give me the lunch box."
"Hmm!"
Yes, Li Jiayi’s privilege is to eat without spending money. Not only does he not have to spend money, he doesn’t even need a ticket.
Soon Liao Kai helped Li Jiayi pack a box of braised pork and a box of chicken nuggets.
There is no way! Who told Li Jiayi to send these things? So no one will say anything.
You can have this privilege if you want! You also get these supplies for the factory.
You don’t need to get as much as Li Jiayi, just one-tenth.
Because of Li Jiayi, the woolen mill was not short of meat or food.
Therefore, Li Jiayi had this privilege, and no one in the entire woolen mill had any objections, or even expressed support.
After finishing the meal, Li Jiayi did not stay here, but went directly to the Publicity Department with his lunch box.
Now his mother and second sister both work here, which is why he comes here every day.
"Hey, isn't this Section Chief Li? Are you here to have dinner with Section Chief Ye?"
As soon as Li Jia arrived at the Publicity Department, a staff member of the Publicity Department joked to him.
Although most of these employees are clerks, they are familiar with Ye Xin and have worked together for a long time.
Of course, I am very familiar with Li Jiayi, and I even said that I watched Li Jiayi grow up.
So it's not right for them to tease Li Jiayi!
"I said, Aunt Xue, just make fun of me! Be careful and I will abduct Miss Fangfang when you turn around."
"Oh! That's what I wish for. Section Chief Li is my son-in-law. That's what I wish for."
"Ugh!"
Li Jiayi was speechless. Shouldn't he be worried? Why don't you ask for it so much?
"Okay, I won't bother you to have dinner with your mother."
You have to be moderate when joking. People in the publicity department know better than others, so they felt it was enough and let him go.
Li Jiayi came to the door of his mother's office and opened the door directly.
"My son is here, come and eat together."
"Okay!"
Not only was my mother in the office, but my second sister and cousin were also there, and they also came back to eat after lunch.
There's no way around it. The cafeteria is only that big. It's normal for workshop workers to stay and eat. People in offices basically go back to the office to eat after finishing their meal.
"Brother, what did you cook?" the second sister asked quickly.
"It's nothing, a braised pork and a stewed chicken."
"Wow, did you cook the braised pork? Take it out quickly." The second sister said with her eyes shining.
"Here you go." Li Jia handed over two lunch boxes.
After the second sister took it, she quickly opened it and said, "Brother, you are the best! You don't have to pay for the braised pork, and there is no limit." The second sister said with emotion.
She also wants to eat braised pork! I also want to eat stewed chicken nuggets, but this does not come with money.
Eating in the factory also costs money, but it is relatively cheaper.
As for meat and vegetables, not only does it cost money, but it also has a quantity supply. There are regulations on how much meat and vegetables each person can supply every month.
Not to mention ordinary cadres like the second sister, even deputy section chiefs like my mother Ye Xin only have ten portions of meat and vegetables every month.
Yes, it’s ten portions, not ten meals.
How many dishes are there in ten portions? There are really not many of them, just like the braised pork and stewed chicken nuggets that Li Jiayi brought over today.
If measured in portions, it would be four portions, yes, one spoonful, while Li Jiayi's lunch box contains two spoons.
And it’s two full spoonfuls. If someone else drinks it, they won’t drink it for you so slowly.
In other words, if my mother eats as he does, she will only need two and a half meals to finish her monthly portion of meat and vegetables.
For people like Li Jialin and Li Jiafen, it is probably not enough for two meals.
"You girl, just be satisfied! If it weren't for your brother, you wouldn't even be able to eat these." Ye Xin shook her head helplessly and said.
"It's a pity that my brother's privilege cannot be transferred." Li Jialin said with a sigh.
The reason why she said this was because Li Jiayi did not come to the factory every day. If he didn't come here, then this privilege would not be used.
Not even his parents, or his second sister, because he must have this privilege in person.
"Second sister! How about I help you get a privilege?"
"Okay, okay!"
Li Jiayi curled his lips and said: "Why is your face so big!"
"Ugh!"
If Li Jialin didn't know that she was being tricked by Li Jiayi at this time, then she would be too stupid.
"Okay, you girl, this privilege for your brother was decided upon by the factory. How can it be given to everyone?"
"Okay!"
This privilege cannot be given simply by asking for it, otherwise Li Jia would have asked for it from his parents early in the morning.
This is the only privilege that even the factory director does not have. You must know that even the factory director has to spend money to buy tickets!
With the addition of Li Jiayi, this meal is even more delicious. You must know that he made four portions of meat and vegetables!
After finishing the meal, Li Jiayi left with his lunch box. He did not wash the lunch box and went directly back to his office.
It's better to stay in his office and feel comfortable, because no one will disturb him, and he can do whatever he wants.
At five o'clock in the evening, the factory got off work, and Li Jiayi drove his jeep home first.
Since everyone in the family has bicycles, there is no need to take the family back.
After all, he doesn't go to the factory every day.
The next morning, Li Jia drove his truck out of the city. Yes, he was going back to Lijia Village today.
More than two hours later, Li Jia parked the truck outside the gate of grandma's house and walked in.
"The eldest grandson is here? Come in quickly." Grandma heard the sound of the truck and came out of the house, just in time to meet Li Jiayi who came in.
"Grandma, why are you coming out? If you don't come out, I will come in." Li Jiayi quickly went up to help grandma and said.
"Okay, okay, I know, I won't come out next time."
It's a pity that Li Jiayi has heard this too many times, but every time he comes over, grandma will still greet him.
"Here? Sit down and drink tea." After arriving at the house, the old man was pouring tea.
"Thank you, grandpa."
"How is it? You won't be busy after you go to work, right?" the old man asked.
"What do I have to do! Just complete the task."
"That's good."
I drank tea with the old man all morning and chatted with my grandparents all morning.
At noon, the uncle and aunt also came over.
There was no need to notify this at all. Li Jiayi’s truck entered the village. How could the villagers not know about such a big event?
After grandma and aunt went to the kitchen to cook, Li Jiayi looked at his uncle and asked: "How is it? Is the captain doing a good job?"
"What's the matter! Every day is about one thing or another. It's better to be an ordinary citizen."
"Uncle, just be self-sufficient! I don't know how many people want to do it but can't!"
To be honest, there are not many people like Li Aiguo in rural areas.
For example, if this captain is called out in the village, I don’t know how many people will be willing to do it.
But the uncle actually disliked it, which made Li Jiayi not sure what to say.
"Uncle! I asked you to be the captain of this team after careful consideration. I guess it won't take long before you can be used."
"Uh! Jiayi, tell the truth to uncle, why do you have to let me be the captain of this team? And what exactly do you need me to do?" "Uncle, I can't tell you this for the time being, but don't worry, you will soon Know.”
"Okay then!"
Li Aiguo would still do it if he could help Li Jiayi, even if the captain felt uncomfortable.
After lunch, Li Jia spoke to his grandparents and came to the village.
Li Jiayi saw that people were already carrying firewood to several large stoves in the village. Needless to say, this was in preparation for killing pigs every morning.
"Here comes the plus one."
"Yes, Sixth Sister-in-law."
"Plus one."
"Fifth brother."
"Oh, we have a girl who is so good-looking and tall, I don't know who I will marry in the future."
"It's not you anyway."
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
"Go, go, talk nonsense."
Many of these women should be called sister-in-law by Li Jiayi. They really dare to say anything.
"Little plus one."
"Oh, Fourth Grandpa." Li Jiayi quickly ran over and supported Fourth Grandpa's arm.
This fourth grandfather is over seventy years old, more than ten years older than his grandfather.
Being over seventy years old is nothing in future generations, but in this era, it is definitely quite old.
You must know that this fourth grandfather is the oldest living person in his grandfather's generation!
"Fourth Grandpa, why are you out here?" Li Jia helped him sit down on the root of a big tree and asked.
"The weather is getting warmer, let's go out for a walk."
"Then you have to be careful and don't bump into it."
"Hahaha, it's okay."
Seeing that Grandpa Fourth was about to take out the cigarette pouch on his waist, Li Jiayi quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and said, "Here, you smoke this."
"No, I'm not used to smoking this thing."
"Plus one! Fourth grandpa thinks you are boring, why don't you give me a slap!"
"Brother Xing Wu, here you go." Li Jia threw the cigarette directly.
"Are you serious?" Fifth Brother asked as he took the cigarette.
"I said Fifth Brother, it's just a pack of cigarettes. What else can I give you for real?"
"That's right! Add one and you still need a pack of cigarettes."
Seeing so many people, Li Jiayi took out another bag and threw it to Brother Wu and said, "Share it for everyone."
"Okay, leave it to me!"
The people in this area are all people from the door, so Li Jiayi is not stingy with a pack or two of cigarettes.
"Fifth brother, will your family kill pigs tomorrow morning?" Li Jiayi asked.
"My family won't kill pigs tomorrow, I'm just helping."
"Okay!"
"Plus one! Are you eighteen this year?" asked a sister-in-law.
"It's almost there, there are still a few months to go."
Li Jiayi's real birthday is July 2nd, and the household registration book is July 1st.
In other words, in two or three months, he will be eighteen years old, but not yet.
"Then it's time for you to get a wife."
"Sister-in-law, it's different from us in the city. You have to be twenty years old to get married in the city, so it's still early for me."
"Why are you so early! We are not getting married now, but we can make an appointment first!"
Because more people in the village now go to the city, they all know that people in the city need to be twenty years old to get married.
But that doesn’t stop you from looking for it first! , for example, there are a few people in the village who are going to the city. They have already made arrangements at home and are now waiting to get married when they are old enough.
To be honest, Li Jiayi did not agree. You must know that after these people in the village move to the city, if they become regular workers, they will be eating commercial grain.
At that time, the household registration will also be moved to the city. Of course, it is not necessary to move. I guess no one will not move!
When their registered permanent residence moves to the city, if the married woman has a registered permanent residence in the city, that doesn't matter. The child will also have a registered permanent residence in the city.
But if the daughter-in-law you marry has a rural household registration, the children you give birth to will also have a rural household registration.
It’s not that Li Jiayi looks down on rural household registration, but it will be very troublesome in the future.
You must know that there is no quota for rural household registration in the city! Then eating will be a problem.
Of course, Lijiacun is relatively rich and can subsidize it, but sending food back and forth is a lot of trouble!
You know, the next ten years are coming!
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about this." Li Jiayi scratched his head and said.
"How about my sister-in-law introduce one to you?"
"I say, the eighth daughter-in-law, you can pull her down! What is our status as plus one? How can we find someone from the countryside?"
"What's going on in the countryside?"
"The ones in the countryside are pretty good, but no matter how good they are, I won't marry a girl with a plus one. I'm a cadre with a plus one, so I will definitely marry a girl from the city."
To be honest, it doesn't matter to Li Jiayi.
He doesn't care whether he lives in the city or in the countryside, because he has no shortage of food!
But one thing is that it catches his eye. Li Jiayi has a bit of control over his appearance. This may be due to family reasons.
Anyway, he won't want anyone who can't catch his eye, no matter what his status is.
After walking around the village and seeing that it was getting late, Li Jiayi went back.
When I returned to grandma's house, grandpa was sitting in the yard smoking, and grandma was choosing vegetables.
Of course, grandpa doesn't smoke pipes now, it's time to smoke paper cigarettes, and the worst places he smokes are at the front door.
There is no way, who can let me have a good grandson!
"You're back! How is the village?" Grandma asked with a smile.
"The village is very nice. Many people are preparing for the pig slaughter tomorrow morning."
"That's right, you're here, they don't want to prepare."
That night, grandma's house was very lively. Not only the uncle and aunt came over, but also the party secretary came with her.
"Uncle Lao Gen, aunt." The branch secretary came in and said hello first.
"What are you..." the old man looked at the branch secretary and asked.
"Isn't this plus one here? I'm here to take a look and ask some questions."
"That's it! Then sit down!"
"Uncle Party Secretary, what do you want to ask me?" Li Jiayi asked.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask, how are the people in our village doing in the city now?"
"Uncle Secretary, I think you want to ask your eldest niece?"
"No, no, how can I not know about your eldest niece? I really want to ask the children in the village."
"Okay!"
The party secretary's granddaughter was assigned a room not long after joining the factory because she was on the clerk's staff.
Although it is only one room, it is enough. You must know that the housing problem in the imperial capital is very serious!
Let’s put it this way! If it weren't for Li Jiayi, she might not even be able to get a room.
Because there were many people waiting for a house in front of her, she had already jumped in line.
It has been almost two years since she joined the factory, and she has been promoted from clerk level 10 to clerk level 8, with a monthly salary of 33 yuan.
This is much better than many people. You must know that most of the people who came to the city with her are still apprentices!
It's just the second year of apprenticeship, and it will be the third year soon.
For first-year apprentices in the factory, the salary is eighteen yuan per month.
The second year's salary was 20 yuan and 50 cents.
By the third year, it was twenty-two and a half yuan a month.
After three years, if you pass the exam, you will be a first-level worker with a monthly salary of thirty-three yuan.
If you don't pass the exam, you will become a regular worker, and the salary will not be that high. The salary of a regular worker is only 27.5 yuan per month.
Of course, if you learn quickly and pass the exam in advance, then you don't need to be an apprentice for three years, and you can directly become a first-level worker, which costs the same thirty-three yuan a month.
But this is very difficult. You have to know that many people only learn a little bit in three years.
If it were that easy, no three-year apprenticeship would say that.
Anyway, no one from the village has passed the exam so far.
Of course, it is also possible that no one applied for the exam at all.
To be honest, it's a bit of a pity, because even if you apply now, you probably won't be able to take the exam.
By May of this year, the grade examinations had stopped. In other words, the people I brought out from the village were all formal workers except those who entered the factory.
The remaining ones can only wait until the end of three years to become a formal worker, and this time suddenly becomes ten years.
The next exam will be ten years later. In these ten years, it will be useless even if you reach level one, level two, or even level three.
You can still only receive one formal salary every month. This formal job will be transferred when it expires, but it will not have any impact.
"Uncle Secretary, what do you want to ask?"
"It's nothing, I just want to ask, how are they doing in the city?"
"It's pretty good, but no one has passed the exam yet."
"This is normal." The branch secretary nodded.
Although he has never been to a factory, he is still quite familiar with it. Don't forget, his granddaughter is in a woolen mill!
And I have been here for almost two years, how could I not understand some things in the factory?
"Are you making any noise about coming back?"
"Are you making a fuss about coming back?" Li Jiayi looked at the branch secretary in confusion.
Just kidding, how is this possible? You know, everyone was rushing to go there!
Even though many people are still receiving a monthly salary of 18 yuan, they still feel that they are much better than in the village.
Apprentices like them cannot be assigned rooms, but there are dormitories in the factory.
They live in the dormitory now and don't need to pay rent. They only have to spend some money on food every month.
In this way, they can save a lot of money a month. The most important thing is that they all want to have a city registered permanent residence.
This is the reason why they come to the city to work as apprentices.
"I'm not thinking that some people can't stand it and want to come back!"
"Uncle Party Secretary, is someone looking for you?" Li Jiayi looked at him and asked.
"Uh!" The branch secretary touched his nose and said, "Plus one! You know, people in the village are like this, they all like to compare themselves. Now that someone has gone to the city, of course others want to go too."
"Uncle Party Secretary, I know what you are talking about, but there is really nothing we can do now, because the expansion has ended, so don't think about it for the time being."
If there is no ten-year period, there is still hope, but the ten-year period is about to begin, so how can those factories expand.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to enter the city again in the future, unless you wait ten years.
But will we still need to work in the city ten years from now? There is no need for it anymore, because it will be reopened in two years, and then you can go to the city if you want.
The most important thing is that by then, no matter whether they are in the city or the suburbs, everyone will have an imperial household registration.
By that time, urban hukou is not as popular as suburban hukou, and some urbanites still want to buy a house in the suburbs!
"Is there nothing you can do?"
"Uncle, Party Secretary, it is basically impossible to work in the city now, at least for the time being."
"Okay! In this case, there is nothing anyone can do."
"Yes."
"Okay! I understand, then I'll go back first."
"It's almost time to eat, why are you going back? Stay and have a drink with me." The old man said.
"Okay, then I'll drink with you."
Soon the food was brought to the table, and the uncle went to get a few glasses of wine.
"I don't understand what these people think. Isn't the village good now? Why do you always want to go to the city?" the old man said.
In my opinion, the village is no worse than the city now, and every household has a surplus of food.
The most important thing is that people in the village are now rich, and apart from not issuing some invoices like in the city, it is no worse than in the city.
Nowadays, every household can earn one or two hundred dollars a year, which was unimaginable in the past.
With such good conditions, there is no point in running to the city with a sharp head.
This may be because everyone has different ideas! The old man couldn't get there, but others tried their best to get there.
Maybe it was because he had someone to accompany him that the old man drank a little too much at night.
Not only the old man, but also the party secretary and uncle drank too much. Fortunately, they can all leave, otherwise it would be very troublesome, and at least Li Jiayi would have to be sent back.
"Grandson, keep an eye on your grandpa while I go make the bed."
"Okay grandma."
It’s March now! Except for the warm weather when the sun comes out during the day, it is still very cold at other times.
Not long after, grandma came out of the back room and said: "Hel your grandpa in, it's time for us to rest."
"Okay grandma."
Grandma's house still had a kang. Li Jia helped his grandfather lie down on the kang, covered him with a quilt, and then lay down next to him.
Although he didn't drink, he still ate, so he didn't want to move now.
Grandma took out a quilt from the bedside table and said, "Grandson, I just unwrapped and washed this quilt last time you left. You will cover it with this quilt today."
"Okay grandma, please lie down and rest too!"
"Hmm!"
Li Jiayi slept in the middle, with his grandfather on the left and grandma on the right. Although he was eighteen years old now, he didn't feel anything wrong.
It’s also a blessing to be able to sleep with your grandparents at the age of eighteen!
Lying on the bed, Li Jiayi did not sleep directly, but first went through the daily process in the space with his mind, and then closed his eyes and went to sleep.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Li Jiayi was woken up by the sound of killing pigs. There was nothing he could do about it, it was not just one pig but two pigs! It was the sound of many pigs.
When Li Jia opened his eyes, his grandparents had already gotten up, so he quickly stood up and put on his coat.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Grandma asked when Li Jiayi came out of the house.
"I was woken up, and I can't sleep at this time."
