Chapter 387 Qian Niandi works
Qian Niandi worked in a restaurant for two years. Later, she heard that the factory offered higher wages and better benefits, so she always paid attention to factory recruitment information.
There are not many factories in the city where she lives now. She heard that there is a garment factory on the outskirts of the city, close to the county town, so she took advantage of her day off to visit the factory.
The factory looked quite large, at least in Qian Niandi's opinion, it occupied a considerable area.
She took the initiative to go to the factory to inquire whether they were hiring or not, and surprisingly, they were actually hiring.
However, those who have no basic skills like Qian Niandi need to undergo pre-job training, and they will not be paid during this period. The training takes about half a month.
She was told that they were recruiting long-term workers and that one month's salary would be withheld. If she did not resign one month in advance, she would not be paid the remaining month's salary.
But the welfare benefits are much better than those of the hotel. For example, they provide pension insurance for employees. In this era, very few private companies take the initiative to provide insurance for their employees. From this point of view, this factory is very good.
But Qian Niandi doesn’t know the importance of insurance yet, and it doesn’t matter to her whether she has insurance or not.
As for wages, it is piecework wages, more work more pay, and work twelve hours a day. If there are many orders, you may also work overtime. Of course, the overtime pay is higher than the normal working hours.
For Qian Niandi, working longer hours doesn’t matter; the key is to earn more money.
She heard that skilled workers in the factory could earn more than 1,000 yuan a month. However, she had worked in the restaurant for two years and her salary had only increased from 300 yuan to 350 yuan. Although she could earn some income by setting up a stall at the night market, it was very limited and unstable.
This made her see no hope at all. It was hard for her to even gain a foothold in the city, not to mention what to do when her brothers grew up.
So, Qian Niandi decided to quit her job at the hotel and work in a garment factory.
After the training phase, Qian Niandi officially took up her post. She was willing to endure hardships and had a flexible mind. She quickly became more and more skilled from a novice. The clothes she made were also meticulously made, and there were very few defective products.
Her salary was really as she had been told before she joined the factory, much higher than that of a restaurant. She could earn 700 or 800 yuan at the lowest, and sometimes 1,000 or even several hundred yuan at the highest.
The factory also provided food and accommodation, so Qian Niandi saved as much of the money she earned as possible.
The factory stipulates that each worker can rest one day a week. Of course, rest is voluntary, and if you want to earn more money, you don't have to rest.
Qian Niandi is the one who doesn’t want to rest. She only takes one day off on the last weekend of every month to visit her two younger brothers at the welfare home.
The welfare home is quite far from the factory and requires driving in reverse, which wastes more than two hours on the road, so the round trip is nearly five hours.
She caught the first bus from a bus stop not far from the factory and returned only when it was almost dark, just to spend more time with her two younger brothers.
However, the two brothers seemed to be less and less enthusiastic about her. Sun Xiaohao was fine, always smiling and calling her "sister", but Qian Longfei always avoided her and later simply didn't want to see her.
When Qian Longfei saw the things Qian Niandi bought, he refused to accept them. Instead, he threw them on the ground in front of Qian Niandi and yelled that he didn't want her things.
Sun Xiaohao always comforted her by saying that Qian Longfei was probably too young and felt insecure.
But Qian Niandi had a premonition that Qian Longfei must have encountered something in the welfare home.
When Qian Longfei grew up a little, Qian Niandi tried to talk to him, and he stammered and told her the reason. It turned out that the source of all his misfortunes were the things Qian Niandi bought.
Qian Niandi regretted this very much. She always wanted to be good to her two younger brothers, so she never thought that she would cause trouble to them.
Since then, Qian Niandi has worked harder to make money, and she always comes with nothing when she visits her two brothers. This way, she can save money and prepare for the future when the three siblings live together.
Qian Niandi worked in the garment factory for six years. She was already 23 years old at that time.
She calculated her savings and found that she already had 70,000 yuan, which was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Qian Niandi.
She saved them all in a time deposit and earned a little interest every year.
There are more female workers than male workers in the factory, and many of the female workers are recruited from nearby villages.
Qian Niandi was familiar with everyone, and some colleagues wanted to introduce her to someone, but she refused.
She explained the situation to everyone in advance, saying that she still had to support two younger brothers. When her colleagues heard the conditions, they didn't dare to introduce her to any more people.
After all, it is impossible for a family to marry a daughter-in-law, right? My two younger brothers will get married in the future, and building a house and paying a betrothal gift will cost a lot of money. Who in the village can afford to support a man?
In this way, Qian Nian Di remained single. Even when Zhan Jin Hua was released from prison, Qian Nian Di was 30 years old and still single.
