Chapter 103 Big Melon
South Bay Forest Farm.

In a small meeting room, Jiang Ning was looking at the payroll.

The transfer procedures for the forest farm have been completed and all necessary signatures have been signed.

The management had all left, leaving only a dozen or so workers.

There is not much to do in Nanwan Forest Farm in winter, just daily patrols.

It's not like there's a lot going on on the farm, it's even busier than in the summer.

There isn't much to do after taking over, the main thing is to pay the owed wages.

The financial situation of the forest farm is very bad. The workers' wages have been owed for almost half a year. I don't know how the workers in the forest farm have survived without paying their wages for such a long time. I guess they have some savings, otherwise they would have starved to death long ago.

I transferred a finance person from Bei'an and did some statistics.

There are 31 people including management and workers. Their five-month salary plus social security totals more than 70 yuan. Only the management has social security, while the workers do not. Strictly speaking, they are not considered forest farm employees. They are all dispatched workers.

It’s called a state-owned forest farm, but the treatment of these workers is worse than that of farm workers!
Jiang Ning sighed and discussed with Lao Yang: "Should we pay social security for the workers?"

The old comrade said: "I think it should be paid. After working all my life, I have no security when I get old. It's too hard for workers."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment: "The farm workers haven't received social security. If we pay for the workers at Nanwan Forest Farm, do the farm workers have to pay as well? It's impossible for the godson to receive better benefits than his biological son, right?"

The old comrade said, "It's time to pay it. I wanted to find a chance to talk to you about this. Now that it's brought up, I have to talk about it. Workers nowadays don't have much sense of responsibility, nor do they have much cohesion, let alone a sense of pride. They still have the mentality of workers. Some even think their wages are too low and want to leave. To put it bluntly, they have no security and want to earn more money. If they pay social security, the situation will be different. They can retire and get a pension when they are 60 years old, and people's hearts will be settled."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll start paying from January next year."

After some discussion, we notified the finance department to pay the wages.

By the way, he notified several bureaus and asked the creditors who needed to settle part of their debts to come over to get the money. However, the news leaked out, and all the creditors came together and blocked the door, refusing to leave unless they were paid.

Some are contractors who do not get paid for the work they do.

Some are growers who have not received payment for their seedlings for several years.

Some are small shops where you can buy things on credit.

There were even people from breeding farms who took a batch of fox furs but had no money to pay.

I don’t know why the forest farm wants fox skins!

Jiang Ning was so upset after hearing this. What the hell was this all about trivial matters.

I paid a portion of the money I had handed over to the bureau, and sent the rest away. There was only 5 million in the account, and after paying the salaries, there was still 4 million left, and some money had to be left for daily expenses, so there was no money left to pay off the debts of these people.

Jiang would rather not use the farm's money to fill the forest farm's bad debts.

I will revitalize the forest farm next year and then slowly pay off the debt.

After paying the wages, I called the workers over to have a chat and announced the good news.

Get out of here, labor service company. From now on, sign contracts with forest farms.

And pay social security.

The workers expressed their happiness and their hearts quickly calmed down.

I stayed for a week and dealt with everything that needed to be dealt with.

Several people were transferred from the farm and a person in charge was appointed.

Jiang Ning and Lao Yang returned to Bei'an.

There is not much to do in the forest farm, but there are a lot of things to do on the farm.

The trees are still being cut and the grass is still being cleared.

Fuel is still being produced overtime.

The group of green sheep were still hiding here and there, refusing to leave.

Jiang Ning was quite concerned, so he took a special look at it when he came back.

Wang Qiang hesitated for a long time, as if he had something to say but was hesitant to speak.

Jiang Ning asked, "What do you have to say?"

Wang Qiang nodded quickly: "I have something I want to ask you, I don't know if it's too much trouble."

Jiang Ning asked: "What's the matter?"

Wang Qiang said, "It's my wife's business. My wife has been idle at home. I want to ask you if you can arrange for her to do something on the farm?"

Jiang Ning said, "For these matters, ask Lao Yang. If Lao Yang can arrange it, he will arrange it. Why do you need to tell me?"

Wang Qiang gritted his teeth and said, "I've told Mr. Yang, but the farm doesn't want female workers now."

Jiang Ning scratched his scalp. This was indeed a big problem.

Farm work is not suitable for female workers, and there are already people who can do the work for female workers, so female workers are no longer needed. Many workers are waiting for an opportunity, and they all want to bring their wives or even sisters-in-law in to earn a salary.

Although some people think the salary is too low and some refuse to work.

But they are a minority after all.

Although you can earn a lot by working outside, you need skills.

An average laborer can only earn two hundred yuan a day.

There is still work to do every day.

If you're lucky, you can earn 40,000 to 50,000 yuan by fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days.

It’s hard to say if you can’t find a job.

Although the salary on the farm is not high, only four thousand yuan a month, you can earn a salary right at your doorstep, and it is stable and you can receive the salary 12 months a year. Most people will not leave, especially the female workers, none of them will leave.

In a place like Bei'an, it is really not easy to find a job close to home.

Or do odd jobs and sell your labor.

Or go wash dishes in a restaurant.

Jiang Ning asked: "What did your wife do before?"

Wang Qiang said: "I used to work part-time, in restaurants, and I also set up stalls with them, but I'm not good at anything."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "There is no place for female workers on the farm right now. The canteen is already full of my relatives, and women are not suitable for those hard labor jobs. Do you want to go to the hotel? I will arrange for you to stay at the New Town Hotel."

Wang Qiang nodded: "That's fine."

Jiang Ning said, "People still need to acquire more skills, especially female workers. They need to be good at something so that it will be easier to find a job. New Town Hotel is not bad. If you put in some effort to learn, you may be promoted to a managerial position!"

What else could Wang Qiang say? He could only nod and make assurances.

It's a pity that I didn't get assigned to the farm, but at least I have a job.

I'm not on night shift tonight, so I gave instructions to the deputy captain on night duty about the night patrol and then went off duty.

When I got home, my wife had already prepared dinner.

After ten years of marriage, the romance and dreams of our youth are long gone.

All that remains is real life.

A family of three eats around the dining table.

My wife is still mumbling: "Is your boss back yet? When are you going to ask me about my business?"

Wang Qiang said, “I’m back.”

The wife was surprised and asked, "Did you talk about my business?"

Wang Qiang nodded: "I told you that the farm doesn't want female workers. The boss told you to go to New Town Hotel."

"what?"

My wife was a little disappointed: "The wages on the farm are so high, and they give us gifts from time to time. The most expensive hotel is 3,000 yuan, most are over 2,000 yuan, and less than 3,000 yuan, and we get off work very late."

Wang Qiang said helplessly: "The farm is not short of female workers, so I can't do anything. There are more than a dozen people in the canteen, all of whom are relatives of the boss. Besides, not everyone gets a high salary on the farm. It depends on the work. Only those who do hard and technical work get a high salary. The office workers only get 3,000 yuan, and the canteen workers get more than 2,000 yuan."

The wife sighed: "Let's do it first. What else can we do? We can earn a little money and supplement our income. It's better than doing nothing."

Wang Qiang said: "You work in the hotel first, and when there is a position, I will find a way to transfer you to the farm."

……

Feng Yu has been feeling more comfortable recently, as there are suddenly fewer things to do at school. The new leader is very pragmatic and doesn't make a fuss. He avoids meetings if possible and tries not to issue documents if things can be communicated verbally. He focuses on efficiency and saving trouble.

All those endless, messy chores seemed to have disappeared.

I felt a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.

This is great, I can spend more time and energy preparing lessons.

After finishing the first class in the morning, I am taking a rest in the teaching and research office.

Suddenly, a teacher from the teaching and research section next to him came over and broke the news: "Did you hear that Zhang Xin was interviewed by the organization?"

The teachers were stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Wait until you come to your senses.

Only then did a teacher look surprised and ask: "Did we make a mistake in organizing the conversation?"

The teacher who broke the news was speechless: "What kind of mistakes could Zhang Xin make? If she really made a mistake, it would not be the organization that would talk to her, but the Jinyiwei would come to take people away."

"Uh!"

The teacher was stunned and felt that it made sense.

Another teacher said, "This is a promotion."

The teaching and research room suddenly became lively.

This is really big news.

A teacher asked: "Is it true or false?"

The teacher who broke the news said: "It's true. It's absolutely true."

"Why did Zhizhi talk to Zhang Xin?"

“It should be related!”

"What connections could Zhang Xin have? If she had any, she would have been questioned long ago."

"Her husband is now the deputy squad leader of Shaba Township."

"Su Hongyan's husband was the top leader before, and she was never interviewed by the organization."

The teachers were talking about it and were all envious.

A colleague who was insignificant in the past suddenly became favored by the organization.

Maybe it won’t be long before I have to call my leader when I meet him again.

How can I not have mixed feelings?

But I can't help but be curious about where Zhang Xin got this connection.

The full name of Chengguan Primary School is Bei'an Chengguan School. It has junior high school and primary school departments, but the primary school teachers are used to calling the school a primary school. It is also the only school among all schools that is at the same level as Bei'an No. 1 Middle School.

The principal is a full-time official, and the vice-principal is a deputy official.

Everyone knew exactly what it meant to be organized for a talk.

If you don't want to break through the ceiling, how could you be organized to talk?

A newly appointed deputy monitor cannot handle such a big thing.

Even the squad leader can’t do it, let alone the deputy squad leader.

Otherwise, Su Hongyan would have become a leader long ago.

The teachers were so anxious that they wanted to ask Zhang Xin in person how she could get the connection.

How to break through the ceiling...

Feng Yu was also surprised, but he did not participate in the discussion.

She doesn't envy being organized to have a talk or something.

When I was about to get off work at noon, I ran into Zhang Xin and congratulated her: "Congratulations, Sister Zhang!"

Zhang Xin said helplessly: "What are you congratulating me for? I'm still confused and don't know what's going on."

Feng Yu said, "The organization has talked to you, and they will definitely promote you."

Zhang Xin looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she told her the truth: "I don't know why you wanted to talk to me. I'm not prepared at all. I just asked my husband Shen, but he didn't know either."

Feng Yu said: "You must have done an excellent job and won the favor of the organization."

Zhang Xin asked her: "Do you think it's possible?"

Feng Yu: “…”
