Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

When Shen Yao and Zhou Shujuan came to the cafeteria, there were not many people around.

Holding his lunch box, he went to the cafeteria window to get the prepared food back. Then the two sat together, eating and chatting face to face.

"Xiao Shen, you will be eighteen this year, will you? What do you think of your partner?"

Shen Yao had no idea, she just said that she was still too young and could work for a few more years.

Zhou Shujuan slapped the table and said, "Oh, you can't think like that.

We have to hurry up and find the right ones, otherwise what will we do if the good ones are picked up by others? "

As an older sister who has been through this, Zhou Shujuan is very experienced in this area.

She began to impart some of her theoretical knowledge to Shen Yao while eating.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao swallowed the piece of perfectly fat and lean pork belly in her mouth with difficulty, "Sister Zhou, do you have any candidates?" Do you want to introduce someone to her?

It’s not that Shen Yao is picky. In this era, anyone with even slightly outstanding conditions is not very safe.

Zhou Shujuan shook her head, but she added that the cannery would be holding a social event for young men and women in a few days together with several surrounding factories including the machinery factory, steel rolling mill, and glass factory.

"Sister Zhou is planning to let you sign up and see if it works out. No matter whether it succeeds or not, we won't lose out."

Speaking of the latter part, Zhou Shujuan deliberately whispered that the food and drinks for the party were provided by the machinery factory and the steel rolling mill, and except for the money required for the transportation, everything else was completely free.

Shen Yao:......

"Don't worry, Sister Zhou, I will be there on time."

It's the 1990s version of a blind date conference. That's good. She can broaden her horizons by going there.

Anyway, in the 1960s and 1970s, the marriage age for men and women was 20 for men and 18 for women.

At Shen Yao's age, she can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get her marriage certificate after this year's Spring Festival and in the beginning of next spring.

When Zhou Shujuan heard Shen Yao nod in agreement, she immediately smiled from ear to ear.

It has to be Xiao Shen, whom you value, who knows what is good and what is bad. It's not like others say that you still have time to complain about this and that.

Humph, she has the latest news that several young experts from the machinery factory will participate in this social event.

Let those girls who usually have high standards not go, and all the good young men will be given to others for free.

Shen Yao is naturally not the other person Zhou Shujuan mentioned, otherwise Zhou Shujuan would not have mentioned it specifically.

Of course, Zhou Shujuan was cautious and did not say some things too directly, for she was afraid that the machinery factory would change their minds at the last minute.

If I lose face then, how will I maintain my dignity in front of Xiao Shen in the future?

Shen Yao:......

After they finished their lunch, they took a break for a while.

As soon as the afternoon comes, I change my clothes and go to the workshop to get busy.

It was not until the evening when it was time to get off work that Shen Yao changed her clothes, went to the logistics department to report her name, then put on her backpack and took the bus home.

"Taking the bus every day is still too slow. I'll take you to buy a bicycle in a couple of days."

Grandma Zhou felt so distressed when she saw Shen Yao coming back in the dark again.

It was only after she started working that Shen Yao realized the joy of going to school.

It’s not that I’m tired from work, it’s that I spend too much time on the road. In that era there were no highly developed means of transportation, so I could only endure it.

"Grandma, you need a ticket for the bicycle."

Shen Yao pouted. It was a rare occasion for Grandma Zhou to come to the Shen family for a meal, so Yuan Li specially opened up the several cans of food that Shen Yao brought back and arranged them on the plates.

Not to mention, ever since Shen Yao went to work at the cannery, she would bring back some "defective cans" every now and then.

Of course, it is impossible that all of them are benefits provided by the factory. Many of them are bought by Shen Yao from other people with her own money.

Shen Yao is not short of money anyway, and now she has such a legitimate source of goods, she definitely won't suffer a loss.

Yuan Li talked to Shen Yao about this several times, but seeing that Shen Yao nodded in acknowledgment of her mistakes and refused to change, she had no choice but to admit defeat.

Now, the Shen family really has no worries about food and drink. Even Shen Zizai, who used to lose five pounds after each driving trip, has gained the weight back.

Grandma Zhou patted her bag and said, "I have the tickets. I'll take you to choose a car then.

Let’s buy Phoenix brand bicycles, which are a big brand. They may be more expensive, but they will last a long time.”

Shen Yao nodded excitedly, and at the same time did not forget to say that she had money.

"Mom, you and Yaoyao come over for dinner. Old Shen, go call the two little ones back."

Yuan Li shouted in the kitchen, and the other members of the Shen family immediately started moving.

Soon, the food was served and several people sat together to eat, drink and chat.

First, Yuan Li lamented that the hospital was not safe, as it was noisy and chaotic every day.

Then Shen Zizai said that it was difficult to get a car. Carjacking was not the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario was that the car and the people were taken away together.

After listening to this, Grandma Zhou sighed and said, “This is a big deal, you two should be careful.

Especially Xiaoli, you have an impatient temper and always like to be at the forefront when things happen.

I'm not worried about you, Xiao Shen. You have a flexible mind. You can take a sick leave and go for a short trip in the city."

After talking about this couple, Grandma Zhou also showed concern for Shen Yao's work and life.

Everything was fine for Shen Yao, and she swallowed the food in her mouth. "Next week, the machinery factory and several other factories will hold a social event. Our team leader told me about it, so I just signed up."

Yuan Li paused with her chopsticks, "Social gathering?"

Shen Yao nodded, "There are many young talents in there, it would be nice to go and take a look."

Grandma Zhou agreed, "You should take a look. There's no need to rush at your age.

But if there are good ones, we should go with them first. We can’t be like others. Being shy is useless. We must learn to fight for them first.”

Compared with the background of this era, some of Grandma Zhou’s ideas are too avant-garde.

This is also related to Grandma Zhou’s own experience. Without Grandma Zhou’s unremitting efforts, there would be no liveliness in the Shen family today.

"Don't worry, grandma. I understand."

Although there are many inconveniences in this era, Shen Yao will still complete the tasks he should complete.

Not only for the reward after the mission is completed, but also because it is related to her survival.

For Shen Yao, who hasn't lived long enough, it's just a matter of giving birth to a child.

After dinner, Grandma Zhou stayed at the Shen family for a while and was about to leave.

Yuan Li asked Shen Zizai to see her mother off, then went back to the house and got another hundred yuan for Shen Yao.

Yuan Li works in a hospital and is a team leader. With her qualifications and the support of her parents, her monthly salary is nearly fifty yuan.

Shen Zizai works as a long-distance driver. He receives subsidies for driving, plus some hidden benefits, so he makes around 50 to 60 yuan a month.

The salary of the two of them alone is enough for the daily food and drink of the five members of the Shen family.

Besides, Grandma Zhou is a retired cadre with a monthly salary of 40 yuan, and with the coffin money left by grandpa, the Shen family lives a decent life.

It’s just that Yuan Li and Shen Zizai are relatively low-key, and Grandma Zhou is not a carefree person, so their family is not very famous in the tube-shaped building, and most people will subconsciously ignore them.

"Keep it for yourself. Don't let your grandma spend too much money on the bicycle."

Shen Yao nodded after taking it. She still had some private money and a Phoenix brand bicycle sold for 170 yuan in a department store. They could definitely afford it.

With the issue of buying a car hanging over her head, Shen Yao has been working extra hard these days.

When colleagues in the counting group saw Shen Yao's outstanding data, they couldn't help but sigh with those around them, "Xiao Shen looks innocent and weak, but she is actually very capable.

With such performance, the salary will be at least double that of others.

Whoever can marry her in the future will definitely not suffer any loss."

Nowadays, marriage depends on the conditions of both parties.

Shen Yao's various aspects directly crushed most of the female workers in the cannery.

It’s a pity that Shen Yao didn’t want to look for fellow workers in the cannery, otherwise Shen Yao wouldn’t have to participate in any social gathering at all.

"Who said it wasn't true? But it's not easy to marry Xiao Shen. The family situation of the one she marries into is not good, and Xiao Shen will suffer."

"Yes, yes, there are really few young men in our cannery who are worthy of my attention."

"..."

Gossip like this usually doesn't reach Shen Yao's ears.

Because Shen Yao only works at work and goes home after get off work, she doesn't have much contact with these people, even during lunch time, Zhou Shujuan accompanies her.

Zhou Shujuan was very concerned about Shen Yao's personal situation, like a hard-working old nanny.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao didn't know what was going on. Ever since she came to this era, she had received a lot of care from others, all of which were very genuine.

Shen Yao even started to wonder if she had secretly used some charm pills, otherwise why would other people have a filter for her?

I don’t understand. I don’t understand at all.

Shen Yao smiled and told Zhou Shujuan that she was currently doing well, then continued to eat her meal with her head down.

Zhou Shujuan looked at Shen Yao's well-behaved appearance. Besides feeling touched, she also asked her to prepare well for the next social gathering.

“All those who come here are ambitious young people, especially those from the machinery factory.

Xiao Shen, seize the opportunity, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever. "

Shen Yao hummed twice and put the remaining slice of meat into her mouth.

Workers at the cannery have one day off per week, except during holidays, which is a normal holiday system implemented in large state-owned factories.

Shen Yao had worked for six days in a row and quickly took the opportunity to take a day off.

After getting up in the morning and braiding her hair into two beautiful pigtails, Shen Yao went to the department store with Grandma Zhou.

"Let's buy fabrics, clothes, and shoes first, and then we'll buy bicycles.

We have to pay attention to social activities ourselves, your leader is right.

There are so many aspiring young people, we don’t ask for many, just one will do.”

Grandma Zhou spoke in a low voice, which made Shen Yao look upset.

Well, in this era, the control over the conduct of men and women is still quite strict.

Shen Yao wanted to be the King of the Sea, but unfortunately he didn't have the prerequisites.

"Don't worry, grandma. I will definitely choose the best one to be your grandson-in-law."

Shen Yao was talking in a chuckle, and was reminded by Grandma Zhou, "You don't have to be the best, as long as you are better than ordinary people, it's good enough.

I am not some noble lady, and if I am too outstanding, grandma is afraid that you can’t control me.”

Shen Yao agreed with this, but she just liked this kind of challenging things.

And with her special charm, is it impossible to control her? Absolutely impossible.

The grandparents and grandchildren entered the department store. The shop had three floors and was not luxuriously decorated, but it had a wide variety of items.

The two of them didn't just buy the things mentioned above. They also bought other things like biscuits, candies, and snacks. If Grandma Zhou thought they were good, she would buy some back.

There are two little ones at home. I can’t just take care of the older ones and ignore the younger ones.

Grandma Zhou loves every child equally. Apart from anything else, Shen Yao and her family will never lack for food and clothing.

"How about that yellow plaid braid?"

Grandma Zhou pointed at the ready-made clothes hanging up, and the more she looked at them, the more she felt they were suitable for Shen Yao.

Shen Yao is fair and pretty, with a standard height of 166cm. She can be said to have fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs.

If she didn't dress low-key and wear less makeup, her reputation would be even more famous than it is now.

Now all the employees in the cannery know that their factory has hired a new beauty.

It's just that the factory beauty is too capable and only focuses on work, so we can only watch from afar.

Shen Yao waved her hand and pulled Grandma Zhou to buy cloth to make clothes.

What's more, the weather outside was extremely hot at this time. Shen Yao felt that she couldn't bear the hardship of wearing a thick bra that made her feel suffocated.

"Hey, you kid"

Grandma Zhou was helpless. Before she could finish her words, she saw the bright yellow dress being bought by a girl.

However, the girl who was bought had a slightly dark skin, so Shen Yao could only wish this man good luck.

In the end, Grandma Zhou only bought a few feet of cotton cloth with light green stripes.

"Where are the shoes?"

"No, buy cloth shoes or rubber shoes?"

Shen Yao took a fancy to a pair of shoes that looked a bit like sneakers, even the laces were white.

The rubber sole is soft and is matched with a pair of white socks, and paired with a green striped suspender skirt made by Grandma Zhou, and a white long shirt underneath.

Gee

Shen Yao felt that she could then comb her hair into a beautiful ponytail that would exude youthfulness.

Having already thought of the corresponding image in her mind, Shen Yao will then prepare in this direction.

When the next weekend's social gathering began, Shen Yao showed up in a refreshing outfit and immediately attracted most of the attention.

Praises and compliments came one after another. Shen Yao did not look away and walked slowly to the location of their cannery, and then was surrounded by others and watched.

Shen Yao: ...There's no need to be so excited

Knowing that he liked her clothes, Shen Yao did not hide it. Moreover, this kind of clothes is easy to make. Shen Yao's strength lies in the fact that she has many memories in her mind.

Compared to the monotonous dressing styles of men and women during this period, her knowledge would undoubtedly bring a trend.

It's a pity that I can't make money using these methods, because once someone reports it, I will lose both my money and my life. Shen Yao feels regretful.

"Shen Yao, do you have a purpose for coming here for the social gathering?" a female worker who was fairly familiar with Shen Yao asked in a low voice.

Shen Yao shook her head and looked around curiously, "Does everyone have any thoughts?"

It seems that everyone is dressed very formally, and some are even wearing military uniforms.

It’s so hot today, I’m afraid it’s hard to endure.

"Yes, of course not?" The man then pointed to the blocked area in front and said, "People in the machinery factory are all paid very high salaries."

Shen Yao: You mentioned income right away, so direct.

In their cannery, temporary workers and interns only earn 18 yuan a month. If they perform well, they will receive commissions. Only someone as capable as Shen Yao will earn 35 or 36 yuan, while most people only get around 20 yuan.

The salary for formal union workers is slightly higher than that for interns, at 23 yuan a month.

Going further up, there are various team leaders, workshop leaders, etc.

Salaries increase gradually, but the performance method remains unchanged.
