I was the queen of the sea in the 80s

Chapter 201 Part-time job
Jiang Zhenzhen did not expect that this loudmouth was the brigade secretary, but she could understand that no village leader was willing to watch young people gradually move out of the village.

However, Jiang Zhenzhen knew very well that this matter was the general trend. Even if the brigade secretary was unwilling, there was nothing he could do to stop the young people in the village from yearning for a happy and prosperous life.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Is there any food at home?" Jiang Zhenzhen changed the subject.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhou Haihua walked quickly towards the kitchen and said as she walked, "There is some rice left in the evening. I will get you some vegetables and eggs to stir-fry."

While Zhou Haihua was cooking, Jiang Zhenzhen poured herself a basin of warm water, went to the special shower area at home, and took a shower.

After washing and putting on clean clothes, Jiang Zhenzhen felt much cleaner and finally got rid of the sweaty and sticky feeling all over her body.

"The meal is ready, come over and eat." Zhou Haihua placed the meal on the dining table in the yard.

The fragrant smell made Jiang Zhenzhen's mouth water. She moved a small bench to sit down, picked up the spoon on the house plate, and started eating in big mouthfuls.

Every grain of rice is soaked in oil and eaten together with eggs and vegetables. It is not only rich in taste, but also rich in nutrition.

With the moonlight, the sea breeze, and the delicious egg fried rice, Jiang Zhenzhen felt extremely happy.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly." Zhou Haihua said with disgust, "Look at you, you look like a starving ghost."

Jiang Zhenzhen raised her head and smiled: "I'm so hungry."

Zhou Haihua turned around and went to the house to get a cup, then picked up the kettle to pour water for Jiang Zhenzhen. However, as soon as she picked it up, she noticed something was wrong: "Huh?"

Jiang Zhenzhen: "I just mixed hot water with some warm water and took a shower."

Zhou Haihua nodded and asked, "Is the water in the pot all used up?"

Jiang Zhenzhen pointed to a green kettle: "No, there is still a little bit left in that pot." There are three thermos kettles in the house, and Zhou Haihua habitually fills all the kettles with hot water, so Jiang Zhenzhen only used two for taking a shower just now. A kettle with a little more water.

Zhou Haihua turned around and put down the pot in her hand, picked up the green pot that Jiang Zhenzhen pointed to just now, came back and poured a glass of water for Jiang Zhenzhen, and said: "Drink some water, moisten it, be careful not to choke... Don't worry, the water is very hot. You blow it and drink it."

Jiang Zhenzhen blew it obediently, and then carefully took a sip.

"Zhenzhen, what Jiang Dongliang said is that Pengcheng's factory construction site offers workers a salary of 50 yuan, including food and accommodation. Is it true?" Zhou Haihua held it in for a long time before she couldn't help but confirm with Jiang Zhenzhen.

Jiang Zhenzhen swallowed the mouthful of egg-fried rice and said, "It should be true." In this era, a bachelor's degree graduate can't even get a salary of 50 yuan, let alone room and board. Those fishermen who rely on the sea and the sky to make their living are really attractive.Moreover, the fishermen have worked hard for a year, and when the dividends are distributed at the end of the year, they may not get 100 yuan, but if they go to Pengcheng to work, they will get 600 yuan a year!
Not only the fishermen were moved, but Zhou Haihua was also moved. She asked, "Then can I sign up?"

"Mom, why are you joining in the fun?" Jiang Zhenzhen said, dumbfounded, "I have already bought the house. After the decoration is completed and the license is obtained, I can open the business. Working in my own store is no better than working for others. Is it a good job to work?"

However, Zhou Haihua has never seen the cruelty of capitalists and does not know the hardships of workers. She said: "Working for others is safe, and it only costs 50 yuan a month! We open our own store, what if we lose money?"

"How do you know that you can get this 50 yuan safely?" Jiang Zhenzhen said, "What if the factory owner owes a lot of debt? Then you have worked for a year in vain and you still get a penny. Can’t get there?”

Zhou Hai raised his eyebrows: "How is that possible! Aren't factory workers paid monthly?"

Jiang Zhenzhen said sincerely that today's factories are all state-owned enterprises and indeed pay monthly wages.But can those personal bosses be the same?Jiang Zhenzhen only remembers that migrant workers were often owed wages, and many migrant workers were forced to jump from high-rise buildings.

Jiang Zhenzhen knows this because she has experienced it. Zhou Haihua has not experienced what happened more than ten years later, so of course she takes it for granted that the factory will not default on wages.

So Jiang Zhenzhen did not continue to argue with Zhou Haihua, but said: "Let's try doing business first? If it really doesn't make money, we will buy all the stores anyway."

Zhou Haihua thought so and stopped talking about entering the factory.Then he sighed with longing: "For 50 yuan a month, these big bosses are really making money. They actually offer such high wages, and they also include food and accommodation. Then you can save all the 50 yuan, and you will be able to make money in one go." It’s 600 yuan a year!”

"Fifty yuan is still a lot." Jiang Zhenzhen pouted, "They will make a lot of money in the future! 50 yuan is nothing to them, and it may rise to 50 or 100 yuan in the future." In fact, 100 yuan is nothing. If you put this amount of money internationally, according to the current exchange rate, it is only three to four hundred US dollars.These domestic workers are really cheap and cannot be a cheaper labor force.

Fortunately, with the development of the economy, the wages of migrant workers will also rise, and people's living standards will also improve visibly.

"100 yuan!" Zhou Haihua was frightened by this number, her eyes were rounded,
Jiang Zhenzhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mom, you are a person with thousands of dollars, and you are still scared by 100 yuan."

Zhou Haihua thought about the money she had hidden in the house, her expression immediately softened, and she said: "That's right..." After a pause, he was speechless, "If you really have such a high salary, then why do you still fish? At the end of the year, the one who works the most and is the most tired will receive at most 300 yuan."

Jiang Zhenzhen finished eating the egg fried rice, put down her chopsticks, and sighed longly: "Yes."

Even if there is no 100 yuan, only 50 yuan, the attraction to the villagers on the island is huge.When Jiang Zhenzhen came back from fishing the next day, she heard that several young people in the village had gone to Pengcheng together.

Jiang Fuyun's face was almost wrinkled. He sighed and said: "These young men, none of them are practical. When they heard that the salary was high, they ran away. No matter how good it is outside, how can they have a family? ?”

Jiang Heping thought clearly. He also sighed and said, "50 yuan! It's enough for a family to live for several months. The key is that Pengcheng is not far away. These young men come back from work at night. If I leave the next morning, I might not miss work."
