Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 355 Return of the young and middle-aged working population

Since the foundation of the construction site was laid, a considerable number of villagers have come here after dinner every day to see how the progress is going.

When the prototype of the factory appeared, villagers came to check it out more and more frequently. At first, they came once or twice a day. Now, they come here to take a look whenever they have time.
In the words of the construction masters, this project feels like there are hundreds of supervisors. They are watched from morning to night, and there is nothing that can be done carelessly.
Rather than when the factory will be completed and opened for business, surrounding villagers are more concerned about when the factory's recruitment assessment will begin.

In order to pass the recruitment assessment, everyone tried their best.

Some people stay away from home all day long to attend literacy classes; some seek tutoring from children at home who are in primary school; and still others are attracted by their own children who are working away from home.

"Hey, Sanniang, your tiger is back."

"Yes, isn't it because the factory is about to be completed? I'll let my tiger come back and try. If he succeeds, it will be great. Then he won't have to see anyone for a year and a half."

"What a pity. The job outside Huzi costs more than 2000 yuan a month! Our factory here only costs 1000 yuan, which is a big difference!"

Huzi's mother sighed after hearing this, and said helplessly: "Is there any way? Who made those words look like heavenly books? I can't understand any of them. I really can't learn them."

As she said that, Huzi's mother changed the subject, her face became sullen, and she said with a smile: "My Huzi is different. He was in sixth grade! If he can write and draw, he will be fine. !

And, it sounds like being able to earn 2000 yuan a month in the city is a lot, but it costs money to eat, live, and do anything. It’s really hard to make money. Look at the roof of my house. It’s leaking. It’s been so many years, if I really made money, I wouldn’t have built a new one sooner.”

"Also, if I hadn't had a good relationship with you, I wouldn't have told you this." Huzi's mother leaned into the man's ear and lowered her voice, saying mysteriously:

"Didn't Secretary Li say a few days ago that Boss Xu got the money from Mr. Guan and will build more than 1000 greenhouses here next spring! They will all be rented to us to grow crops. After the crops are planted, Boss Xu will return Receive it, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it!

After Huzi comes back, let him work in the factory. He will eat at the factory and live at home. How can he earn a few thousand yuan? When the time comes, I will use the money to rent a greenhouse from Boss Xu to grow crops. What do you think? I can’t learn to write, but I’m a good hand at growing crops.”

The man originally thought it was wrong for Hu Zi Niang to call Hu Zi back, but after listening to it, he suddenly felt that what Hu Zi Niang said made sense!

Reading and literacy are not our strengths, but farming is!

After figuring out the reason, the man found a clumsy excuse to stop the conversation and hurriedly returned home. He didn't even have time to catch his breath before he picked up the phone.

"Hey, Shitou, come back quickly. What's going on? You don't know about the recruitment of workers in the village factory."

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

After this day, there will be several young faces in the surrounding villages every day that can only be seen during the Chinese New Year. With the return of these young people, these villages are like old trees sprouting new shoots, glowing with new vitality.

Li Sixin naturally knew the purpose of these young people coming back, but he had no objection to it and even welcomed it.

You know, the decline of a region usually starts with the loss of population.

Take Hezibao as an example. There are more than 300 households in total, and the permanent population is as high as 700 and 32 people. Just looking at the numbers doesn’t seem too bad, right?
But in fact, the total registered population of Hezipu is 360!The remaining population is all young adults aged over 14 and under 60!

If you want to develop, you must have enough labor force; if you want to have enough labor force, you must have enough jobs; if you want to have enough jobs, you must develop; if you want to develop, the village often These residents are basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are very few who can serve as the main labor force.
If there is no influence from external factors, it will be an endless cycle.

Fortunately, Boss Xu came. He came with money, sales channels, and people. It took him three months to break this troublesome cycle. Young migrant workers People are starting to flow back!

Although there are not many young people coming back now, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once the first batch of young people returning make money, more people will come back.
After all, if it weren't for the pressure of life, who wouldn't want to live happily as a family, and who would want to leave their hometown?
In the eager anticipation of the villagers, the opening ceremony of Xu's Food Processing Factory finally began!

The ceremony was not as grand as the groundbreaking ceremony, and there were not so many leaders involved, but it was more enthusiastic than the original groundbreaking ceremony. Not only all the villagers in the seven villages on the Hezibao side participated, with Hezibao as the center, and the surrounding five Many people come from villages kilometers away to join in the fun.

Amidst thunderous applause, Xu An came on stage and took the microphone handed over by the host. He tapped it lightly and made two dull 'bang bang' sounds before bringing the microphone to his lips and said with a smile: "Everyone is excited about what's coming next." Are you looking forward to the recruitment assessment?"

This question brought the atmosphere of the scene to the highest point, and various answers emerged one after another.

"Yes!"

"When does it start?"

"Why do so many people take the exam?"

"."

"Okay, it seems that everyone is looking forward to this recruitment assessment, so I won't talk so much nonsense."

After Xu An finished speaking, he put the four fingers of his right hand together and pointed straight at the basketball court in front of him and behind everyone, and said loudly:

"Visitants No. [-] to [-] please follow Secretary Li Sixin of Hezibao to the basketball court. Villagers No. [-] to [-] follow Mr. Xu Heping and Mr. Xu to the food sorting workshop and food packaging workshop in the open space in front of the canteen and dormitory building." As Xu An finished speaking, the scene suddenly became commotion. Some Hezibao villagers who had not signed up for the recruitment assessment helped maintain order and guide the villagers. After a while, only the kittens were left in the huge crowd in front of the stage. Two or three.

The voices of Xu Heping and Li Sixin were diffused through the loudspeakers and resounded throughout every corner of the factory.

[You are not allowed to whisper. If you find out, you will be disqualified from the assessment. You are not allowed to peek at cheat sheets or other people's answer sheets. Remember to write your name. Questionnaires without names will be canceled.]

Listening to this series of 'no's' and 'notes', the corners of Xu An's mouth slightly raised. The sound reminded him of the broadcast during the exam. It was really nostalgic!

"Boss Xu, what do you think of this land? Boss Xu, Boss Xu"

"what?"

Xu An was awakened from his memories by the louder shouts, and looked at the leader of Hongshan Town blankly. He soon realized that he was distracted, quickly focused his attention, looked at the leader of Hongshan Town, and said: "Sorry, just now I got distracted, can you say it again?"

"Oh, it's okay." The leader of Hongshan Town smiled and waved his hands, then placed his index finger on the map again, circled a small circle, and said:
"This wasteland is only separated by a mountain from villages such as Hezibao, Xiangyang Village and Hua'an Village. It was created during a large-scale land reclamation in the past years. It must have been collectively cultivated for nearly ten years. Later, the individual contract system was promoted
The land is quite fertile, but you need to climb mountains when farming. In addition, our area is vast and sparsely populated, with more cultivated land per capita. This wasteland has gradually become deserted. However, the property rights are clear and they belong to the surrounding villages. We will communicate with you. It's also more convenient to get up.
We not only reviewed the documents left behind in the past, but also conducted on-site inspections. This wasteland covers an area of ​​[-] acres, and it fully meets your company's requirements in terms of size and other aspects, and there is a surplus."

The leader of Hongshan Town seemed to see where Xu An was struggling. He moved his finger quickly on the map and gently drew a horizontal line to connect the wasteland with the road shown on the map. He said:
"If Boss Xu takes a fancy to this piece of wasteland, our town government can invest in building a road connecting the wasteland. Once the road is built, the distance from the factory to the land will only be a little over a kilometer away."

"Besides this wasteland, there are four other plots to choose from." The leaders of Hongshan Town did not force Xu An to make an immediate choice, but continued to introduce information about other plots to Xu An.

After learning the detailed information of the five plots in succession, Xu An found that the most suitable plot was actually the wasteland behind the mountain. It was large and concentrated, and was close to the village and factory. Originally, roads were a problem, but Hongshan Town leaders promise to build roads
"This plot." Xu An clicked on the wasteland behind the mountain, then clicked on two more plots, and said with a smile: "These two plots and the three plots have their own advantages and disadvantages. It's really hard to choose. , I want to see these three plots with my own eyes before making a decision, is that okay?”

"No problem." The leader of Hongshan Town immediately agreed and started to make an appointment: "How about we wait for the results of the recruitment assessment here to check out these three plots?"

"The results of the recruitment assessment are out." Xu An glanced at his watch, pretended to think for a few seconds, and then nodded heavily and said: "Well, there is no problem on my side."

After the matter on the land came to an end, the two stood up together and patrolled various 'examination rooms'.

The layout of the examination room is very simple, even crude. Whether it is indoors or outdoors, there are no tables or chairs. There are hard paper 'seat cushions' of about the same size, and flat wooden boards that everyone brought themselves.
Those taking the assessment sat cross-legged on the hard paper mat, with a long wooden board across their knees. Everyone was bent over the test paper, unaware of the inspections of Xu An and others.

The difficulty of the test paper is not very high. Both Chinese and arithmetic are only difficult for the fourth grade of elementary school. The only thing that is somewhat difficult is to write a [-]-word essay.
After an inspection, Xu An felt that the results of these two months of literacy class teaching were very extreme. Taking the people over 40 years old as an example, those who can write have full papers, and those who cannot write have full papers. Everyone is scratching their heads and scratching their heads, and the pen has a lot of teeth marks on it.
The 10-minute answering time is up. The papers are collected and sent to the office. Xu An, Xu Heping, Li Sixin and the leaders of Hongshan Town begin to review.
The full score is [-] points, and the passing test paper with a score of more than [-] points will advance to the next round of ranking screening. Those with less than [-] points will be directly eliminated. Enter the name and score into the computer form for sorting.
A total of 260 people participated in this recruitment assessment. A total of 120 people passed the assessment, and the recruitment quota was [-]. The competition was quite fierce.

With the help of computers, the candidates who successfully obtained the recruitment quota were quickly tallied. There was no tie in the score, and it happened to be 120 people!
"No. 1, Zhang Dashan No. 30 in Hezibao, eight in No. 90, Liao Yong in Liaojia Village No. [-] in four, and Hua'an Village congratulates the upstarts."

Every name rang out was accompanied by thunderous applause and deafening cheers; every villager selected received congratulations from the surrounding villagers, as well as envious and jealous eyes.
Zhang Daniu from Hezibao also participated in this assessment. Although he did not miss a day to participate in the literacy class, because he worked too hard during the day, Li Sixin's teaching voice became a hypnotic sound in his ears. , and fell asleep within 10 minutes each time.
".121 people, Zhang Xi from Hezibao! Congratulations to the above 120 people for successfully passing the recruitment assessment and becoming a member of Xu's Catering! Please enter the factory in an orderly manner to register information and go through the entry procedures! Thank you everyone for your support and cooperation !”

Many times, efforts are directly proportional to gains. Unsurprisingly, Zhang Daniu lost the election.

Although he was a little regretful, his family knew about his affairs. Zhang Daniu had already guessed this result. He just sighed, turned around and left the lively crowd like other losers, dispersed, and walked towards their respective destinations. .

Zhang Daniu's destination is a greenhouse where hotpots are grown.

As the harvest day of shabu shabu spicy food gets closer and closer, Zhang Daniu becomes more and more concerned about his greenhouse. He even moved his mattress into the greenhouse at one time, intending to live and die with the shabu shabu spicy food. Now, if pepper dies, everyone dies.
However, less than two hours after this plan was implemented, the patrol team organized by Li Sixin discovered it and drove him home.
The greenhouse is a relatively sealed environment. Plant respiration at night will reduce the oxygen in the greenhouse and increase the carbon dioxide rapidly. It can cause dizziness at worst, or death in severe cases.
Taking out the key and opening the greenhouse door with three different locks, Zhang Daniu took out a mask sewn from old floral cloth from his pocket and put it on, walking slowly between the fields and ridges, carefully looking at each shabu-shabu plant. Spicy growth conditions.

There are only less than ten days left before the maturity period mentioned by Professor Wei. The green peppers are hanging all over the branches, and the shiny skin is glowing with white light. It is very pleasant to look at it.

Just when Zhang Daniu's sight was swept away, a dazzling red light entered his field of vision, and he turned his head that had been twisted back again, and his eyes fell directly on the red light. Above, against the green background, this red light is simply more eye-catching than the sun in the sky!

He didn't even bother to put on his gloves, but he opened the branches and leaves directly with his big rough hands, and a half-red chili came into view.
"This is... entering the maturity stage! Professor Wei is really right! He has grown up!"
