Reborn in 1985, divorced, fished and raised a baby, and made a lot of money

A few years ago, I went to a relative's house with my mother for a banquet. It was still a small fishing village at that time, and I didn't expect it to have changed so much now.

He asked people about the shell craft shop on the commercial street, and found out that the manager was Aunt Wang, the mother-in-law of boatman Sister Tang.

Sun Dayong didn't dare to say directly that he was here to apply for a job. He just said, "Come in and take a look. This is where we make shell handicrafts."

It's cute and not difficult.

After walking around for a while, Sun Dayong asked, "Hello, are you hiring jade craftsmen here?"

When Aunt Wang heard this, she looked up at Sun Dayong and said, "Young man, are you here to apply for the position of jade carving master?"

Sun Dayong nodded and replied: "Yes, don't look at my young age, I have good craftsmanship. This is the pendant I made with scraps."

After saying that, Sun Dayong handed over his work, which was a round and smooth gourd.

Although simple, it has richness, color, shape and spirituality.

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "That's right. But I'm not the one applying for your position. Please wait a moment. I'll call and ask the boss to come over."

Sun Dayong replied: "Thank you very much."

Han Xiaorui received a call from Aunt Wang, rode over on her bicycle, took out her key, and opened the door of the shop next door.

"Come in, let's interview here." Han Xiaorui said with a smile and let Sun Dayong in.

Han Xiaorui pointed at a small jade carving machine placed at the door and said, "Sun Dayong, I don't do high-end jade here at this stage. The water there is too complicated. I don't understand it and can't play it."

"I want to open a shop that sells snail-shaped jade handicrafts. I fished the snail-shaped jade out of the sea and processed it into various key chains and other handicrafts, which I then sell to tourists who come here."

"Tourists demand that the things they buy must be authentic, so this one is set up as a processing workshop so that everyone can see it. The two next to it are used for sales. I use machines to process this, not manual polishing, and I need to be fast."

Sun Dayong listened carefully to Han Xiaorui's request and felt that he was capable. "Then I will make a few for you now. Take a look. If it works, we can discuss the salary."

Han Xiaorui nodded, "Okay, be careful."

Sun Dayong skillfully picked out a few spiral jade raw stones, turned on the machine, and began processing.

"Wait!" Han Xiaorui stopped Sun Dayong from working, took out a dust mask from the drawer and handed it to Sun Dayong, "There is dust when processing these, you'd better wear a dust mask, otherwise the dust will get into your lungs, not only will it make you uncomfortable, but over time, you will also get sick."

Sun Dayong was stunned. His master had bought some masks before, but his master's wife said it was a waste of money, and after they were used up, she didn't allow him to buy more.

He and his senior brother are still young, so it's okay, but the master now coughs frequently and the doctor says it's caused by dust.

But my master’s wife said that other families do the same and don’t buy masks.

Sun Dayong was touched and said, "Thank you very much."

Han Xiaorui smiled and said, "Making money is important, but health is more important. In my case, we must strictly follow the safety production requirements and not be careless."

"Okay, I'll remember that." After hearing this, Sun Dayong wanted to stay and work here even more. At least here people are treated as human beings.

Sun Dayong began to polish the snail jade with skillful technique.

You can’t do it without being skilled!

Learn from a master, no salary, but food is provided.

If you do it wrong, you will have no food to eat.

Under such pressure, Sun Dayong and his senior brothers have excellent skills and a high yield rate.

In just four or five minutes, a spiral jade was carved out, which was crystal clear, smooth, plump and adorable.

Han Xiaorui saw the conchs made by Sun Dayong, and she brought out the best features of each one according to its different forms.

In this way, the spiral jades produced are all different.

Just from this one thing, Han Xiaorui knew that Sun Dayong had good skills.

It took Sun Dayong about fifteen minutes to do three in a row, which was quite fast.

Han Xiaorui immediately said, "Okay, you passed the interview. What are your salary requirements?"

Sun Dayong thought for a moment, "My home is in the city. It takes two hours to take the bus and change buses one way. In addition to the minimum monthly salary of 70 yuan, I also hope to have food and accommodation provided."

Han Xiaorui thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you rent a house in Jinshan Bay and I'll reimburse you for the rent. As for eating, you can eat with Aunt Wang next door, and I'll subsidize her food expenses."

"As for the basic salary, I'll give you 40 yuan a month, but if you make spiral jade with this level of craftsmanship, I'll give you 20 cents as commission. The more you do, the more commission you get, and the less you do, the less commission you get. How do you do it this way?"

Hearing this, Sun Dayong couldn't believe it, "Boss Han, if I can do 100 pieces a day, will I really get 20 yuan a day as commission?"

Han Xiaorui nodded, "Yes. But the commission and salary are paid at the end of the month. If your family is in financial difficulty, I can give you the basic salary of 40 yuan first. Is that okay?"

"Okay, that's great." Sun Dayong said with a smile, "I have a relative in Jinshan Bay. I'll buy some things and go visit her, and ask her to help me rent a house."

Han Xiaorui was curious and asked, "Who are your relatives in Jinshan Bay?"

Sun Dayong replied: "My great aunt, everyone calls her Aunt Cai, and my son Cai Xueqin, I call him my cousin. When my cousin gave birth to a son, my mother and I came to sit at the table!"

Upon hearing this, Han Xiaorui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Really? Family members don't recognize each other anymore. Aunt Cai is my godmother. Come on, pack your things and follow me to my godmother's house."

Sun Dayong was also stunned. "To be honest, my parents' factory has not been doing well in recent years, and the benefits are not high. My parents are too embarrassed to visit relatives, but my great aunt sends dried shrimps and kelp to my family every year."

Nowadays, due to poor management, bad operations and low profitability in state-owned factories, life may not be easy for dual-income couples.

Han Xiaorui nodded. The fact that her godmother could continue to send her kelp and dried shrimps every year proved that this family was really nice.

The lack of contacts is really due to the deterioration of economic conditions.

"We are all relatives. Let's go home." Han Xiaorui replied, "The basic salary is as you said, 70 yuan, and the commission is still 20 cents per person."

Sun Dayong waved his hands quickly, and said anxiously, "Sister Han, if you are like this, I will not be able to continue working here. We are relatives, and work is work. A basic salary of 40 yuan and a commission of 20 cents is already very good."

Seeing this, Han Xiaorui nodded, "Okay, work hard, and I'll give you a bonus in the future."

Sun Dayong went to Aunt Cai's house with Han Xiaorui, leaving only 20 cents for the bus fare and using the rest to buy snacks and canned food.

"Actually, there's no need to be so polite. Godmother doesn't need these things." Han Xiaorui stopped him.

Sun Dayong chuckled, "My great aunt has it, it's hers, but as a junior, I can't come empty-handed. Originally, I was going to go regardless of whether the interview was successful or not, and my mother also told me to go."
