This time, Silly Pillar's "punishment" towards the Jia family was not just for show, it was a real action.
In the next few days, whether it was in the factory or in the courtyard, Silly Zhu kept his word. He did not say a word to the Jia family. Even if they bumped into each other, they pretended not to see each other.
However, based on Wang Jianjun's understanding of Silly Zhu, he reckoned that Silly Zhu wouldn't be able to hold on for long. The main reason was that Qin Huairu hadn't exerted his strength yet.
Besides, if he really wanted to end everything with the old Jia family or Qin Huairu, the best thing to do was to treat them as strangers and ignore them. As time passed, the two families would naturally have nothing to do with each other.
…………
Today was the day when the factory paid their monthly salary, so there were relatively fewer tasks in the afternoon.
Before four o'clock, Wang Jianjun and his master finished their work and went out to line up.
Logically speaking, their speed should be considered a relatively fast wave, but when they really reached the finance department, they realized that the queue in front of them was already very long.
With a glance, Wang Jianjun knew what was going on. The people at the front of the line were basically the employees of the logistics department and some apprentices.
Logistics work was relatively free. For example, in Silly Pillar's canteen, after lunch, if there were no hospitality tasks in the factory, they could basically wait to get off work after cleaning up.
As for the apprentices, they actually didn't have any tasks assigned to them. As long as their master didn't say anything about them, there was no problem for them to come out and queue up early.
"Master, looking at the length of the line in front, we have a long wait.”
"There's nothing we can do about it. There are so many people in the factory. There will always be someone ahead of us. As long as we can get it before we get off work, it's fine. It's useless if we get it early.”
"You're right."
After listening to Master Zhao Jianshe's words, Wang Jianjun thought that it was true. Even if he received his salary in advance, he still had to wait until he got off work before he could go back. Otherwise, he would be considered to have left early and his salary would be deducted.
Fortunately, the accountant was very efficient, so they didn't have to wait too long. Soon, it was Wang Jianjun and his master's turn.
"Zhao Jianshe, level five fitter in workshop one.”
The process was quite simple. All he had to do was take out his badge and report his name and department. At most, he would add his level.
After the accountant checked, if there were no problems, they could get the money.
"Zhao Jianshe, your salary is fifty-six yuan and fifty cents. If there's no problem, you can leave after signing here.”
After the fourth level, it became harder and harder to raise the level of a fitter, so the increase in salary was naturally different from the previous levels.
"Wang Jianjun, workshop number one, first-class fitter.”
"Yes, the salary is twenty-seven yuan and fifty cents. You can leave after signing here.”
After receiving his salary, Wang Jianjun was about to return to the workshop with his master when he heard the accountant read Qin Huiru's name and salary.
"Qin Huairu, apprentice of a workshop. Including the allowance, the total is 20.50 yuan.”
This salary was the same as when Wang Jianjun first came to the factory. He wondered what the Jia family's mother and son would look like when Qin Huairu received her salary.
It would be a little difficult to support a family of six with such a small salary.
After returning to the workshop, Wang Jianjun polished two more Level 2 parts before he heard the bell ring.
Looking at the workers who were rushing to get off work like a swarm of bees, it was obvious that they must have just received their salaries and wanted to improve their lives.
Although there was nothing good to buy in the regular market because of the various restrictions on the receipt, one could still buy a small amount of pork in Pigeon Market with a little more money.
The government definitely knew about Pigeon City, but they didn't manage it very strictly. After all, the people had to live.
For example, some time ago, the Old Merchant's family often bought meat in Pigeon City. Even if they saw it, they wouldn't report it. After all, their family might buy it one day.
On this day, there were probably a lot of people eating meat in the courtyard, so Wang Jianjun could eat meat dishes openly without worrying about others being jealous.
Wang Jianjun went to the market and bought some vegetables. Then, he took out a pound of pork from the system space.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard from outside, Wang Jianjun smelled the fragrance of fried meat. It seemed that everyone moved very quickly.
Although he often ate braised beef secretly, he hadn't eaten stir-fried pork for a long time.
Thinking of this, he did not delay any longer. After putting down his belongings, he took the meat and went straight to the kitchen.
Soon, an alluring fragrance wafted out from his kitchen. This made the third uncle's family who was opposite him drool.
Their family wanted to eat meat, but with Third Uncle's monthly salary and the money Yan Jiecheng handed over, it was already not easy to feed a family of six. How could they dare to buy meat? They could only eat some good food during the New Year.
One meat dish, one vegetable dish, and rice. This was Wang Jianjun's meal for tonight. It would be very common in the future, but in this era, it was definitely a good day that most people envied.
After closing the door, Wang Jianjun began to enjoy himself. At this time, as long as there was nothing particularly important, no one would come to visit.
If the Third Uncle's family was a little greedy, then the Old Merchant's family in the middle court was really drooling.
There were two reasons for this. Although Qin Huairu had received his salary, when Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu saw that it was only 20 yuan and 50 cents, their expressions changed immediately.
This month, although the mother and son were a little restrained and did not improve their lives as crazily as they did two months ago, they still ate much better than ordinary people. Now, the family's savings were less than 50 yuan.
Of course, Jia Zhangshi's private savings were not included.
The key was that no matter how much their family lived frugally, 20 yuan was not enough for a month. In other words, they still had to continue living on their savings.
If Qin Huairu did not become a full-time employee as soon as possible, their family would really go bankrupt in less than two months.
At the thought of this, the two big rice worms of the Jia family could no longer remain calm.
"Huai Ru, do you have the confidence to become a full-time employee in the skills assessment next month?”
"Mom, Dongxu, it's not that easy to become a full-time employee. I used to think that it was quite simple, but when I really started working, I realized how difficult it was to become a full-time employee.”
"You're usually quite smart, but why did you screw up this time? Even Wang Jianjun, whose father died in the front yard, could do it, so why can't you? I think you're just finding excuses for being lazy.”
Jia Zhangshi didn't care about that. After hearing Qin Huairu's complaints, she immediately started scolding him. She didn't even think about how her precious son, Jia Dongxu, had also spent half a year to become a full-time employee.
"Mom, with our family's current conditions, I don't dare to slack off at work. I can't wait to become a full-time employee immediately, but this isn't up to me.”
Fortunately, Jia Dongxu didn't mess around with Jia Zhangshi this time because he knew that under normal circumstances, becoming a full-time employee in half a year was considered fast. Wang Jianjun was only an exception.
"Then what should we do now? If this continues, our family will really have to beg for food soon. Son, you have to think of a way.”
Jia Zhangshi, who had no idea, actually wanted Jia Dongxu to think of a way. This was really desperate.
"What can I do now? Since we're running out of money, we can only scrimp and save before Qin Huairu becomes a full-time employee. From now on, we'll eat more Korean noodles and cabbage.”
She was used to eating white flour, steamed buns, and meat, and now she was directly beaten back to her original state. Jia Zhang-shi naturally did not want to, but what could she do? There was only this little money left. If she did not save it, she could not really go begging. She could not afford to lose this person.
"That's the only thing we can do for now. Qin Huairu, can't you be more competitive? You've really wasted your intelligence.”
Jia Zhang-shi weakly replied to her son as if she had accepted her fate.
Of course, the reason why the Old Merchant family quarreled was also related to Silly Zhu who lived next door.
It was unknown if he wanted to take revenge on Jia Zhang-shi or if he wanted his plan to be carried out smoothly, but recently, Silly Zhu's food had obviously come up.
He would eat meat every few days. Coupled with his culinary skills, it was difficult for the old merchant's family not to smell it.
But with the current relationship between the two families, Jia Zhangshi could only curse while drooling.
As for saying that they would lick their faces and reconcile, Jia Zhang-shi could not bring herself to do so, or rather, she had not been forced to that extent.
