Chapter 175 Working at the Soy Sauce Factory
Tao Huilan was originally a full-time housewife who didn't know anything. Now that Yi Zhonghai has passed away, she can't always live in He Daqing's house. Faced with Qin Huairu's request, there is no reason for her to refuse.
Anyway, she would have to take care of one child or two children and could earn some salary, so why wouldn't she agree?
"No problem! Leave this to me!"
Tao Huilan nodded.
However, looking at the glamorous Qin Huairu, he felt indescribable envy in his heart.
Men are afraid to enter the wrong line, women are afraid to marry the wrong man.
It would have been fine if she hadn't enjoyed much happiness over the years since she married Yi Zhonghai, but now she is only in her thirties and has to face the dilemma of being a widow. Moreover, this is how her life will be.
Look at Qin Huairu again. She is so young, has a man who dotes on him, and has a decent job. How enviable!
With Tao Huilan's support, He Daqing and Qin Huairu no longer have to worry.
Just three days later, He Daqing contacted the soy sauce factory and asked Qin Huairu to come to work.
There is no way. Although this year is an era of large-scale construction in the country, there are not many decent companies in the entire city. The country has just started to develop, and the most popular things are actually various factories.
Compared with heavy industries like steel rolling mills, He Daqing felt that it would be more practical to let his wife work in a factory like a soy sauce factory.
Not only is the work relatively easier, but you can also get a lot of benefits during festivals and so on.
As for being eliminated in the future, that is a matter for the future. By that time, considering her age, Qin Huairu will be about to retire.
What's more, Qin Huairu is just a country girl. Apart from doing some farm work, she can't do any other work!
This is a great job!
"Daqing, you are so good to me!"
Qin Huairu was also very satisfied with the work at the soy sauce factory. That night, she brought her son to Tao Huilan's house and took good care of He Daqing.
Ever since they had a child, the couple had trouble doing anything. Now that they have completely let go, even He Daqing can hardly bear it.
Don’t say it, when this woman gets crazy, men have no chance at all!
“It’s really exciting!”
Tao Huilan, who lived next door, couldn't help but blush at the panting and creaking sounds of the rocking bed coming from the other side of the wall. She patted the two children sleeping beside her with one hand, and couldn't help but comfort herself with the other hand.
Silent all night.
The next morning, He Daqing rode his bicycle and took Qin Huairu to the mall.
When the couple came back, each of them was riding a bicycle, and Qin Huairu even wore a new set of clothes.
Well, since I have to go to work, I need a means of transportation.
The soy sauce factory and Fengzeyuan are not in the same direction. He Daqing cannot let his wife walk to work every day. It is too troublesome. His wife's work adds income to the family, so He Daqing must support her.
So, in the following days, He Daqing's family became almost the most beautiful scenery in the entire hospital.
Other families get up early and walk hurriedly to their respective factories. If they encounter emergencies, they will take a rickshaw.
Even Yan Bugui, a teacher at Hongxing Primary School, who had made a lot of money working for He Daqing in the past year, could only afford to buy a second-hand bicycle to go to get off work.
But even so, they have become an enviable existence.
As for other families, they don’t even have a bicycle!
And what about He Daqing's family?
Early in the morning, He Daqing and Qin Huairu each rode a bicycle to work, while He Yuzhu went to the civilian canteen with his wife Xu Huizhen.
There are four people in a family going to work and earn money, how can we not be envious!
"In my family, one person earns money and six people spend it. Others have four people earning money. There's no comparison between our lives!"
"Who says it's not true? They either work in a restaurant or a soy sauce factory. They don't spend much money on weekdays!"
"There's no comparison. It's because I don't have that kind of skill!"
Seeing the wealthy life of He Daqing's family, all the neighbors were envious.
But there was nothing you could do about it. After all, everyone knew that He Daqing and He Yuzhu were both good cooks, and Qin Huairu was hardworking and capable, and she helped the neighbors a lot on weekdays. His daughter-in-law Xu Huizhen was even smarter.
A family like this deserves to live a wealthy life!
"I knew it, he just didn't want to help me on purpose!"
The most aggrieved person was Jia Zhang, who lived in the west room of the central courtyard.
She had begged He Daqing on her knees before, but He Daqing only introduced her to the steel mill. But there was no suitable job at the steel mill.
She didn't know accounting, and other easy jobs were already done by others. In order to support her family, Jia Zhang had no choice but to grit her teeth and do ordinary work.
After a day's work, I was so tired that I doubted my life. But because I couldn't bear to spend money, I had to walk back from the steel mill step by step.
Sometimes, I even had to carry my son on my back while working because I was worried that something might happen to him at home.
They are just like cattle and horses!
Look at Qin Huairu again. She dresses beautifully and cleanly every day and rides a bicycle to and from get off work. The two of them are simply worlds apart!
"My life is so miserable!"
Jia Zhang looked at her two sons and tears welled up in her eyes.
But isn’t this the life of most ordinary families?
Whenever you finally see a little hope in life, God will always play a big joke on you, telling you that such a life does not belong to you, making you return to ordinary overnight, or even knocking you down to the dust, leaving you lying on the ground, looking up at the lives of others.
The days of suffering passed one by one.
Soon, the New Year is here again.
That day, Jia Zhang, carrying her youngest son Banggeng on her back, finally returned to the gate of the compound at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. From a distance, she saw Qin Huairu riding a bicycle, twisting and turning towards them.
That would have been fine, but there was actually a box of soy sauce on the back seat of Qin Huairu's bicycle!
Yes, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. The soy sauce factory has exceeded its production target this year and has distributed soy sauce from their factory to every employee.
As an ordinary employee, Qin Huairu could only get two bottles of soy sauce. But because Qin Huairu's man, He Daqing, was the manager of Fengzeyuan, a cooperative unit of the soy sauce factory, he directly gave Qin Huairu such a large box.
"Sister Huilan, I'll give you two bottles of soy sauce! The factory gave us too much, we can't finish them all!"
Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhang at the door and pushed her bicycle straight back to the central courtyard. She happened to see Tao Huilan taking care of the child in the yard. She took two bottles of soy sauce from the box and gave them to Tao Huilan.
