Chapter 255 Distributing Year-End Bonuses, Qin Huairu Hooks Up with Brother Ma
The next day, early in the morning.
Qin Jingru went to work at the steel rolling mill as usual, while Wang Feng went to courtyard number 28 and caused trouble.
Qin Jingru had to prepare a dinner party that evening and didn't return until after six o'clock. The three of them happily finished their dinner, washed their feet, and went to bed.
......
The next afternoon.
Wang Feng arrived at the steel rolling mill, greeted Zhang Dazhuang from the transportation team, and drove off.
After driving around the city for more than an hour, Wang Feng drove back to the steel rolling mill.
On the way back, Wang Feng picked out two large wild boars in his spatial dimension, each weighing over 300 jin (approximately 150 kg), and killed them right there in the space.
He then took out 50 fish weighing over five pounds each and 50 wild rabbits from his spatial storage. Wang Feng calculated that the two large wild boars should yield about 400 pounds of meat, and with the fish and rabbits, the total meat yield should be about 800 pounds.
Upon arriving at the canteen and weighing the animals, the two wild boars weighed a total of 670 jin, the fish 265 jin, and the wild rabbit 220 jin.
Currently, the price of wild boar has reached 1 yuan per jin (500g), fish is 7 mao (0.7 yuan), and wild rabbit is also 7 mao (0.7 yuan). This time, Wang Feng earned a total of 1009.5 yuan.
After collecting the money from the finance department, Wang Feng went back.
Around 4 PM, Qin Jingru returned to courtyard number 95. Wang Feng asked:
"Jingru, I delivered two large wild boars to the factory today. They didn't ask you to slaughter them or anything, did they?"
Qin Jingru rolled her eyes: "Brother Wang Feng, he's a cook, it's not my turn to butcher pigs!"
"Jingru, this isn't right, is it? I saw Shazhu slaughtering pigs back when he was still in the third canteen, so why didn't it happen to you?" Wang Feng asked in confusion.
Qin Jingru smiled and explained, "Brother Wang Feng, you don't understand. There's a rule in the canteen: whoever slaughters a pig gets three catties of offal to take home. Sha Zhu was eager to slaughter pigs, but our family doesn't need those three catties of offal. I don't want to compete with everyone else. Besides, slaughtering pigs is dirty, smelly, and bloody. I don't want to do it. Today, those two pigs were slaughtered by Old Liu, who cooks the big pot dishes in the third canteen, and Old Li from the second canteen."
"Oh." Wang Feng nodded in sudden realization.
"Brother Wang Feng, I heard that our steel rolling mill gives out welfare benefits during the Chinese New Year. What are they this year?" Qin Jingru asked.
"There's not much to it, I heard it's two catties of wheat flour and half a catty of pork per person."
"Wow! So many?" Qin Jingru exclaimed in shock.
"Jingru, this is all we have. It's not even enough to fill a gap between our teeth. It doesn't matter whether we have it or not," Wang Feng said with a smile.
Qin Jingru rolled her eyes: "Brother Wang Feng, you can't say that. These things may not matter to us, but for many families, they mean being able to eat dumplings for the New Year. You haven't experienced hardship, so of course you don't know how difficult it is for ordinary people."
"Hehe, that's true." Wang Feng nodded with a smile.
In retrospect, he hadn't really suffered much hardship. In his memory, when he was very young, he followed his father to Beijing to escape famine. Later, his father went to work as a purchasing agent in a steel rolling mill. Moreover, his father was quite capable and could earn a lot of extra money every month. He was the only son in the family, so if there was good food at home, he would definitely not be treated poorly.
That evening, Qin Jingru cooked stir-fried green peppers with pork and hot and sour shredded potatoes. After the two finished eating, Qin Jingru washed his feet and then went to sleep.
Just as Wang Feng was about to mount the horse, Qin Jingru stopped her, saying apologetically, "Brother Wang Feng, I just got my period. Why don't you go to courtyard number 28 to find Goose?"
"Alright, go to sleep."
Wang Feng sighed, not daring to hold Qin Jingru while she slept, for fear of getting into trouble and having no way to calm down.
......
three days later.
Today is Saturday, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Qin Jingru went to the factory early in the morning, and Wang Feng also went to the factory in the afternoon.
I only worked for two hours this afternoon, then finished the big cleaning, distributed year-end bonuses, and collected my salary before the holiday.
On his way to the purchasing department, Wang Feng saw everyone busy at work, with happy smiles on their faces.
When he arrived at the office of Purchasing Department 3, Zhang Dali, Li Jianjun, and three other purchasing staff from Purchasing Department 3 were already waiting for him.
Originally, there were eight people in their purchasing department, including him. However, two of them failed to meet their targets for three consecutive months and have been transferred to the workshop. Now there are only six people left.
"Wang Feng, you're finally here. You're the head of our Third Section, so don't even think about slacking off," Zhang Dali said with a displeased expression.
Wang Feng took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, offered one to each of them, and joked with a smile, "What's wrong? You guys can't even clean up while I'm gone?"
"Alright, enough nonsense. Hurry up and finish your cigarettes, clean up, go collect your year-end bonus and salary, and then you'll be on holiday."
Li Jianjun took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and then said, "Wang Feng, you're quite carefree. We were worried about whether we'd be able to come to this office next year."
"Hehe, we're all doing the same thing anyway, why think so much?" Wang Feng laughed.
Needless to say, he knew that next year, out of the six people here, at most three would stay: himself, Zhang Dali, and Li Jianjun. He had a good relationship with the two of them, and with a little help, they could stay. The other three would definitely go to the workshop.
Upon hearing Wang Feng's words, the five rolled their eyes. Could a factory worker have the same freedom as a purchasing agent? Purchasing agents, no matter what, always earn some extra income each month. Besides, they had been purchasing agents for several years. If they went to the factory now, they would have to start as regular employees with a salary of only 27.5 yuan.
After finishing his cigarette, Wang Feng instructed the others to wipe the windows, tables, and mop the floor. The five of them worked together and quickly finished cleaning, since the office was only so big.
After cleaning, Wang Feng had a cigarette with the others and chatted for a while before going to collect his wages.
The line of people waiting to collect their wages in the square was incredibly long today. However, since he was a cadre, he had some privileges and went directly to the finance department to collect his wages, and also collected Qin Jingru's wages along with him.
Wang Feng passed by the other side of the square, where people were collecting their year-end bonuses. The queue there was even longer, but the cadres went directly to the logistics department to collect theirs, so they didn't have to wait in a long line.
He was just about to go to the logistics department to collect his year-end bonus when he saw Qin Huairu chatting and laughing with a pockmarked man as they walked towards the payroll line. Qin Huairu was holding two pieces of pork and two small bags of flour, while the pockmarked man had empty hands. It was obvious that he had given all his year-end bonus to Qin Huairu.
Wang Feng sighed inwardly. Qin Huairu's innocent nature had already awakened. She had only been in the factory for a few days, and she had already managed to get other people's year-end bonuses. He wondered if that pockmarked guy could still keep his salary.
