Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

The moods of the two brothers of the Yan family at the processing plant were like heaven and hell.

The second child, Yan Jiefang, followed Wu Haiyan every day and learned a lot. After all, they worked in the same office.

Yan Jiefang is relatively good at dealing with people when she is not at home. At least she is sweet-mouthed. She calls me Sister Wu every day.

He would compliment Wu Haiyan from time to time, which made Wu Haiyan happy.

Wu Haiyan thought Yan Jiefang wanted to pursue her. She said to Yan Jiefang directly, "I'm married. Xiao Yan, you were born too late. If I had known you earlier, you might have had a chance."

This directly made Yan Jiefang embarrassed.

However, after they talked it out, their relationship became better. Yan Jiefang also turned out to be a blessing in disguise, learning a lot about accounting. He felt more and more that he should have studied harder. While he regretted it, he also loved studying more and more.

On the other hand, Yan Jiecheng has become less and less motivated since he learned about the administrative level and realized the gap between himself as a temporary worker and Chen Changan, a deputy section chief.

He was gloomy and sighing all day. He was less and less willing to help move things in the warehouse. He started to give up.

At first, Yan Jiecheng was treated well by his colleagues, after all, he was a neighbor of the factory director Chen Changan. He worked quite well in the first few days.

But as time went on, Yan Jiecheng became lazier. We were all temporary workers, so why didn't you work? Just because you and the factory manager were neighbors?

You are just the factory director's neighbor, even if you are a relative, so what? A young man doesn't work harder, but becomes lazier.

No one will tolerate you, so colleagues went from saying nothing to giving hints in a roundabout way, to asking Yan Jiecheng to do the work directly, and finally to a quarrel.

Not only colleagues, but even the people pulling carts began to look down on Yan Jiecheng. They were busy waiting for the goods to be shipped, and those in the queue behind them all came to help, but the people in your warehouse didn't even move.

When we are not busy, we smoke, chat and gossip together. You smoke a lot of their cigarettes and never pass on cigarettes. You only smoke your own.

That's fine, just a matter of a cigarette, just help a little more when working, and allow yourself to do one more job in a day.

These few cigarettes were nothing, but he not only refused to help but also had a stern face. When I accidentally broke a few pieces of coal, he pointed at my nose and cursed at me.

This is not porcelain, it will be useless if it is broken. Take it to the place where coal is made, grind it into pieces and the coal can be directly beaten out.

Even if Chen Changan saw it, he wouldn't say anything. After all, the factory didn't suffer any loss. With so much work, everyone would make mistakes. It was normal to accidentally break a few pieces when busy.

But Yan Jiecheng just likes to make a fuss about things like this.

After all, they are at the bottom of society, and they are all honest people. If they say a few words, they will just say them. If it does not affect their earning money by transporting goods and their eating, they will just put up with it. But this made the cart pullers not look at Yan Jiecheng well.

Gradually, Yan Jiecheng couldn't even get a cigarette. He finally felt isolated, so he got even more angry and cursed.

On the day Chen Changan returned from the neighborhood office, he found Wu Haiyan and told her directly that he was going to pay the wages and the money would be transferred from the factory's account.

Ask Wu Haiyan to make a table and list the names of all the people in the factory. Some people started working last month and should also be marked out.

Wu Haiyan was very proactive and professional. She showed the form to Chen Changan early the next morning.

After checking and finding no problems, I announced during lunch that we would finish work an hour earlier and everyone should go to the accounting office to collect their wages.

At this point, everyone cheered. Some people had already thought about what to buy with their wages. How about waiting until Sunday to buy some meat to treat themselves and the children.

Many young people were quite excited, after all, this was the first time in their lives that they received a salary on their own.

Some even cried before they even finished their meal. After all, some people's families are really in great difficulty. The salary can finally ease the difficulties at home.

There are many people who borrow money to pay for medical treatment and medicine when someone in their family is sick. They are chased for debts every day, and their relatives' illnesses are not getting better.

Some people directly shouted, thank you Chen Changan for giving them the job opportunity.

Chen Changan couldn't stand this, after all, he was too soft-hearted. He wanted to raise their wages or make them permanent employees, but unfortunately, although Chen Changan was the factory director, his words didn't count. He thought that if there was a surplus in the factory account during the holidays, he would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Director Huang's relationship and give them some benefits.

Chen Changan had walked out of the cafeteria for a while, but he could still hear the lively shouting in the cafeteria.

When it was time to get their wages, the workers discovered that in addition to wages, each person also received an industrial voucher.

For workers who have worked in some large factories for many years, industrial coupons are nothing. But for those of them who are struggling, industrial coupons are also a good thing.

Nowadays, you need industrial coupons to buy a washbasin. If you have money, you can only go to the pigeon market or the black market to make ends meet.

Yan Jiefang had agreed with his third uncle Yan Fugui a long time ago that he would use his salary to buy a stove and honeycomb coal for his family.

He really did what he said when it came to paying the wages. He paid Wu Haiyan and directly issued an invoice to find a worker who pulled a cart in a factory on good terms with him.

After all, five of the people pulling the carts were from the factory, and the others were just runners. I gave them the tickets and asked them to be the first to deliver the goods to my house tomorrow morning.

When Yan Jiefang returned home for dinner, he told his uncle Yan Fugui that he had received his salary today and that he had bought a stove and would deliver it tomorrow morning. He also took the initiative to give the uncle two yuan.

The third uncle was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became much deeper.

Yan Jiecheng on the side looked at Yan Jiefang as if he were a fool.

The salary he received was not used to marry a wife, but to buy a stove and pay for the family. Does it show you off? No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak.

Sure enough, after praising Yan Jiefang, the third uncle turned around and faced Yan Jiecheng, staring at him without saying a word.

Yan Jiecheng saw that everyone in the family was looking at him in the same way. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I went late and didn't get as much as Jiefang. I'll just give my family one dollar." Then he took out one dollar and put it on the table. But in his heart, he cursed Yan Jiefang.

But who is the third uncle Yan Fugui? Yan Jiecheng's salary is clear, and the number of days he works is clearly calculated for Yan Jiecheng. Even the one dollar for recording the entry and exit of the warehouse cannot escape the third uncle Yan Fugui's hand.

Seeing his eldest son Yan Jiecheng hesitant and unwilling to pay, the smile on the third uncle Yan Fugui's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
