Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

"The requirements for temporary workers are not high, as long as they are under 30 and in good health. Of course, due to the nature of the work, only women are required. I have met your second sister, and she should meet the requirements."

Section Chief Ma gave Zhang Jialiang a positive answer.

"Brother Ma, I really want to find a job for my second sister, so I'll have to trouble you. I also understand the rules here, and I won't let you help me for nothing."

Zhang Jialiang has been wanting to find a job for his second sister for some time, and he is now very knowledgeable about this matter.

A regular worker's position is worth about 600 yuan, and a temporary worker's position is worth about 200 yuan. Of course, he couldn't let Chief Ma help him for free, and he still had to pay the money he owed.

"Okay, there's nothing to say between us brothers. Since you've come to me for help, I'll definitely help you if I can.

I just happened to catch this opportunity. If it were any other time, I really wouldn't have much ability. You also know that job quotas are very difficult to get, and there is a strict rule that one person has one position.

As for the temporary workers, if it were me, I would be helping my brothers, but our logistics department only got 6 vacancies for temporary workers this time.

It’s fine for me to have one, but I have to give an explanation to others, and all the benefits are not mine alone.”

Friends are friends, and the benefits they deserve should still be sought. Originally, the factory was recruiting temporary workers and the quotas had already been allocated.

All departments in the factory were vying for it. Their logistics department had allocated 6 people, and as the head of the logistics department, he was also qualified to ask for one.

He and Zhang Jialiang get along pretty well, so he would give the job to anyone, and giving it to Zhang Jialiang would also help with future cooperation, but he should still ask for the benefits.

Since he has a good relationship with Zhang Jialiang now, and Zhang Jialiang is quite sensible, he quickly understood the meaning of his words and took the initiative to offer not a penny less of the benefits that should be given.

This is very good, both parties are satisfied, Zhang Jialiang got the job and Chief Ma got the benefits.

In the adult world, if only one party takes advantage, the relationship will not last long. Only when both parties benefit can the relationship be more stable.

"Okay, let's put it this way. Let's go to Brother Ma's house tonight to see my eldest nephew."

Now that we have already discussed it, we must hurry up and do it tonight. It is not appropriate to give the benefits to Section Chief Ma directly in the factory. It would be more reasonable to give it to him privately at his home.

“Okay, that brat of mine misses you too.

Ever since he found out you were good at hunting, that brat has been extremely excited, always clamoring to go out hunting with you. He must be very happy to see you.

I happen to have a bottle of good wine, let's have a nice drink tonight!"

Of course Section Chief Ma understood what it meant, and he agreed readily.

In the evening, Zhang Jialiang took a pheasant and a rabbit and prepared 200 yuan. He went to Section Chief Ma's house and quickly reached an agreement.

Section Chief Ma will report Zhang Jiani's name to the factory tomorrow. One week later, temporary workers will officially enter the factory. At that time, Section Chief Ma will personally take Zhang Jialiang's second sister to the factory to report.

When Zhang Jialiang returned to the courtyard from Section Chief Ma's house, he saw that the whole family had already eaten dinner and were busy making matchboxes.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Jialiang felt a little emotional. His odd job of making matchboxes had finally come to an end.

Now the eldest sister has a job, the second sister is about to join a garment factory, the fourth sister also has a job, the sixth, seventh and eighth sisters are all in school, and only the fifth sister has plenty of time.

However, the fifth sister also had to follow Master Zhou outside to cook frequently, and besides, she couldn’t make many matchboxes by herself.

There is also Uncle Lin, my father’s good friend who has always helped their family. He is also planning to let his son take over his job at the match factory, as he will soon no longer be working there.

Uncle Lin's health has not been good in the past two years, and it is even worse now. In addition, his son has grown up and needs to work, so it is a good opportunity for him to retire and recuperate at home.

When his son takes over, he will have to start as an apprentice and will no longer have the right to share in the odd jobs of making matchboxes with Zhang Jialiang's family.

In recent times, Zhang Jialiang has been in charge of getting the raw materials for making matchboxes and delivering the finished matchboxes. Since Grandpa Lin fell ill, Zhang Jialiang has visited him many times with his prey.

Therefore, Zhang Jialiang had already prepared himself mentally for not being able to take on the job of pasting matchboxes in the future. After finishing this last batch, there would be no more.

As the family's conditions gradually improved, they were finally leaving the matchbox pasting business that had accompanied them for seven or eight years.

Although the family's source of money will be greatly reduced from now on, and the income from pasting matchboxes can be 30 yuan per month, this is also a good thing.

Making matchboxes is hard work that takes a lot of time and energy, and takes up a lot of the Zhang family's daughters' spare time.

From childhood to adulthood, all the daughters of the Zhang family have lost too much happiness because of making matchboxes. When they grow up, their childhood memories will probably be making matchboxes.

This is indeed not very good, but there was really no other way given the circumstances at the time. Although it was hard work, it was the work of pasting matchboxes that supported their entire family.

Besides, it would not be easy to get the paste matchboxes without Uncle Lin's help.

Many people in the courtyard were jealous of their family's art of making matchboxes, especially the Yan family next door, who had always been envious.

Many people from the Yan family have asked indirectly and directly if they could also help them find odd jobs making matchboxes.

The Zhang family was in such a situation during those years, how could they possibly give their own interests to the other party? The result must have been a tactful refusal. I guess the people in the Yan family must have been very dissatisfied behind the scenes.

In short, there are pros and cons to making matchboxes, but overall the benefits outweigh the benefits, after all, it provides for the whole family.

Zhang Jiani didn't do any odd jobs today. She spent the whole day pasting matchboxes.

Looking at his second sister's neat and efficient movements, with just a few flips of her nimble fingers, a matchbox was ready. Zhang Jialiang was filled with admiration.

The ones who do the most work at home are the eldest sister and the second sister. Originally, the eldest sister did the most work, but after she got married, the second sister quickly took over her job.

So in terms of the time it took to paste the matchboxes, the second sister took the longest time, and she was also the fastest at pasting the matchboxes.

"Second sister, you are good at making matchboxes at home, quickly and well. I am not good at it. I have tried hard but I still can't do it well."

Zhang Jialiang sat down next to his second sister.

“What are you doing this for?

This is a woman's job. You are clumsy and will definitely not do it well.

What a pity. What’s the point of doing a good job? I won’t get any job making matchboxes in the future.

It’s such a pity, our family has lost a lot of income.”

Zhang Jiani rolled her eyes at Zhang Jialiang. She didn't expect her brother to make matchboxes, and the whole family didn't want Zhang Jialiang to make matchboxes.
