The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Chang Wei came to Victory Welfare Home, looked at the time and saw that it was only half past nine. He still had half an hour before his long martial arts class, so he went straight to the office, which was still the office he and Xian Yi shared.

"Director Xian, are you busy?" Chang Wei said with a smile.

After two years of sheltering, there are now 600 to 700 children in the orphanage. The government was forced to arrange three teachers to come, just like squeezing water out of a sponge. Xian Yi was naturally appointed as the director of education, helping to manage everything in the orphanage.

"Awei, you're back. What did the butcher say?" Xian Yi asked calmly. They have been an old couple who have been together for several years.

"Compensate with some money, what else can I do?"

As he was talking, Chang Wei came behind Xian Yi, leaned over to hug her, and whispered in her ear. "The baby is still young, don't be too tired, you can help Sister Wang and the others with grading homework."

At this time, Xian Yi had just become pregnant.

Xian Yi's face was filled with happiness, and Chang Wei explained, "Sister Wang and the others are teaching all the classes. I'm here to help with grading homework, otherwise Sister Wang and the others will be too tired. Anyway, I'm sitting down to grade homework, so I don't have to move around much, so it's okay."

"Since you've praised me so much, I'll promote Sister Wang and the others to a higher rank by the end of the year as a reward."

"That's what should be done. This is what people give in return."

Xian Yi thought for a moment and said, "Awei, I'm thinking that it's OK for the children to be divided into three stages now. We have to ask the government for teachers at the beginning of the year, and I don't know if we can arrange for more people."

Chang Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. I'll go and ask for someone. No matter how many I need in the next two years, I'll have to be given priority. Your important task is to take good care of our baby, and it would be best if you could give birth to a big fat girl."

He had a plan for the future. After the Korean War was over, the cannery would have 10% more money to use, and things would be easier then.

"You are the only one who has many evil ideas." Xian Yi rolled her eyes coquettishly, touched her belly, and said expectantly. "I want to have a son, but I hope our son won't be like you, who not only has many evil ideas, but is also a playboy."

Chang Wei laughed. "That's also a skill."

"Virtue!"

The two laughed sweetly for a while, and then it was time for Chang Wei to go to martial arts class.

After lunch, I rode my bike to Victory Cannery.

When we arrived at the factory gate, we saw the Zhao brothers already waiting there.

"Huzi, you guys came so early."

Zhao Hu said with a smile. "Brother Wei, we just arrived too. We heard that you haven't come yet, so we're waiting here."

In fact, they arrived at twelve o'clock, but did not see anyone going out. They asked the security guard and found out that Chang Wei had not arrived yet. Who else can get such treatment at work? This is absolutely unique.

"Let's go in together!" Chang Wei smiled and pushed his bicycle into the factory. He nodded to the guard when he passed the security room.

The Zhao Hu brothers followed behind silently. When they saw the security guard seeing Chang Wei bringing them, he didn't even ask for registration and stood straight, which further confirmed his guess.

After Chang Wei parked the car, he took the Zhao brothers directly into the slaughterhouse, where the workers greeted them warmly.

"Brother Wei..."

"Brother Wei is here."

Chang Wei smiled and nodded in response.

Arriving at the locker room, Chang Wei took out two sets of work clothes and handed them to the Zhao Hu brothers. "Put them on, and I will test you."

The Zhao Hu brothers asked curiously while changing their clothes. "Brother Wei, don't we need to notify the factory leaders to come for the assessment?"

They are worried about meeting leaders who don’t understand, which would make their assessment and grading uncertain.

Chang Wei smiled and replied, "No, I can do it. Relax and go through the entire slaughtering process. I will record the grades and take them to the Human Resources Department."

For the slaughtering assessment, he specially made a grade table for each process, and finally determined the worker grade based on the total grade of the processes.

When they heard that it was Chang Wei's assessment, the Zhao Hu brothers felt relieved and were very happy. "That's great."

Arriving at the slaughter site, Chang Wei arranged the assessment directly, starting with the first process of slaughtering and bleeding, then removing the hair, gutting, deboning and cutting. Except for removing the hair, the rest of the process tested the knife skills.

After the Zhao Hu brothers performed some operations, Chang Wei nodded silently. He had never seen the two of them slaughtering a pig before, but only saw them deboning and cutting the pig. They had good knife skills. Unexpectedly, during the slaughtering process, the two brothers worked together to slaughter the pig directly without tying it up. They had a lot of strength and skill. Overall, their skills were very good.

"Okay, you guys work in the slaughter group first, I'll come back and make the specific arrangements."

Zhao Biao asked anxiously. "Brother Wei, what level can we set?"

Chang Wei looked at the evaluation form in his hand and encouraged. "All aspects are good, and the comprehensive score is temporarily set at level 6. When your skills improve in two years, you can try to take the level 7 exam. You must work hard."

The Zhao brothers were all smiles, and said happily in unison, "Thank you, Brother Wei."

They were already very satisfied with level six. Chang Wei's skills were only level eight, so level six was not a low level for them.

"Get to work." Chang Wei smiled and left with the evaluation form.

The sharp-eared workers were extremely surprised to hear that the Zhao brothers were rated level 6 right after they arrived. In the entire slaughterhouse, except for Chang Wei, the highest level was only level 4. When they saw the brothers' faces, they understood that these two must have been butchers. They looked fierce, and they were either butchers or executioners who chopped off heads.

As a result, no one even came forward to talk to me, which was scary just looking at me.

Chang Wei took the evaluation form and went straight back to the factory director's office and handed it to Chen Xueru.

"Secretary Chen, these are the two newly hired slaughterhouse workers."

The silk shop and the Chen family business had all been sold under Chang Wei's suggestion, allowing Chen Wanqi and his wife to take care of their grandchildren in peace. Chen Xueru is now the secretary of the director of the Shengli Canning Factory, but in fact she is doing the director's job. Chang Wei was lazy and would go to the slaughterhouse to kill pigs from time to time. She was in charge of all matters except signing.

Chen Xueru took a look at the evaluation form and asked in surprise, "Boss, you got rated as a level 6 worker right after you came in? Is that really your level?"

Chang Wei sat leisurely on the factory director's sofa chair. "I told you that these two are the Zhao brothers from Xidan Vegetable Market. They are good at butchering pigs. I just tested them according to the procedures and they are better than expected."

Chen Xueru suddenly realized. "So these are the two people you wanted to get and had your eyes on!"

Chang Wei smiled. "Yes, it just so happens that the government purchased the Xidan Vegetable Market, and they delivered it to our door this morning. It was great."

"What a shame! He is a factory manager, but he has to work in the slaughterhouse."

"That's not what I can do. They are all newbies. I have to teach them and watch them. It will be better in the future. There will be people to help teach them."

Chen Xueru chuckled. "I knew you had bad intentions. You're waiting for them here."
