Song Tan's Notes

The weather forecast was really accurate. If it said it would rain for several days, it would rain for several days.

Lu Chuan was sorting his new books upstairs, and Song Tan was sorting out the security guards' wages - it was raining, and everyone had to take care of their own fields, so the security guards had to harvest the vegetables at night for three consecutive days.

What Song Tan is calculating now is the salary increase for each person. But this is not a long-term solution, and he still needs to find a way to recruit talents.

But this salary...

She couldn't help but feel confused: should I add more?

  But before that, she still went up the mountain with an umbrella and found Chen Yuan in the monitoring room:

“Are all the drone jammers installed?”

"It's installed." Chen Yuan showed her the picture: "We borrowed Yanran's drone and tried it out. The effect is very good."

Song Tan nodded, and then went straight to the point: "Thank you for your hard work in harvesting vegetables these days. As for the overtime pay we agreed on before, do you want it to be paid daily or included in your salary?"

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Just pay it with your salary, there's no need to spend money here."

There's really no place to spend money.

Everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation is arranged, and the miscellaneous items sold in the convenience store, that is, smokers may have to spend a little more money.

But, it was just harvesting vegetables at night, just like scooping spinach before, and it was not difficult for them at all.

Song Tan nodded and then added: "I may have to trouble you for a while. I posted some job openings online but... it's not easy to recruit people."

Chen Yuan also looked at the salary requirements. Based on their actual experience, the package of food and accommodation, plus the salary, is already very generous.

After all, they have found out from their own practice that it is only enough to work efficiently for two hours every night.

He nodded in understanding:

"We have a lot of people, so this amount of work is nothing. What's more, there is overtime pay, so everyone is willing to do it."

"You can take your time recruiting people."

However, he also happened to have another question:

"Does the person who takes care of the children want this job of harvesting vegetables?"

  Ok?

Song Tan asked curiously, "Tell me more about it."

  Chen Yuan asked on behalf of the other members of the team:

"She is Liu Ning's cousin. She is divorced and has a one-and-a-half-year-old child. She can't find a job in the city, and she doesn't make any money from setting up a stall. She can't have a stable income if she returns to her hometown... Now she just sells some vegetables."

"It just so happens that we are recruiting people here during this period, so Liu Ning asked me to ask if his sister can do the work of picking vegetables if she brings the children here and rents a house by herself?"

Song Tan was a little surprised: "It's possible, but the salary is only 1200, and there is no five insurances and one fund - she came all the way here, won't she think it's too little?"

If I remember correctly, Liu Ning is from Mingcheng.

After thinking for a while, Song Tan added: "If you live here by yourself, the housing allowance is 100 per month."

Chen Yuan started laughing.

"That's great - let me tell Liu Ning first."

Song Tan nodded: "Okay, tell me the details of the situation, but if you can't do well, I will fire you."

Chen Yuan nodded, looking serious: "I will explain it in advance."

……

Thousands of miles away in Mingcheng, Liu Liu didn't know she was about to get a stable job. She just wandered around the job market for a long time, but in the end she didn't send out a single resume.

How to vote?

I don’t have a high level of education and dropped out of school in my second year of high school. I learned about the job market by listening to young people chatting.

  But even if the company is recruiting cleaners or sanitation workers, no one would bring their children to work as cleaners, right?

But her parents are gone, and now she is 32 years old and divorced, raising her six-month-old daughter alone. The child cannot be left alone, and she can't even go to daycare at six months old, so she has to hire someone to take care of her...

Liu Liu smiled bitterly.

The price of hiring someone to take care of a child is really high nowadays. If she really wants to find a job, the money she earns may not be enough to pay the salary.

I'd better set up a stall and do business myself. Unfortunately, the market has been bad in the past two years, and the street stalls in the city are already saturated...

She thought about it and realized that apart from being hardworking, she had no other strengths and couldn't even run a business at a stall.

Even if she could earn a little money occasionally, it was still out of sympathy and support from people who saw how hard it was for her to carry her child at night...

The cost of living in the city is high, and she also wants to return to her hometown, but her hometown is a remote mountain village, and she has no chance to make money all year round.

  She can spend less money, but the children are growing up, and they need money for headaches, fever, clothes, food...what can she do without money?

At this moment, with the child on her back, she packed up the vegetables she had bought in bulk and was about to set up a stall on her tricycle. She was stopped by a traffic policeman along the way.

"What's wrong with you? You brought the child out and carried him on your back like this. How dangerous!"

"And you, where's your helmet? Put it on."

In fact, the traffic police's attitude was quite good. Although his words were a bit serious, they were not scary.

But somehow, maybe the food was too heavy, the tricycle with a flat tire was too hard to pedal, or maybe the crying child was too exhausting for her...

Liu Liu held the handlebars, tears streaming down her cheeks, causing the young traffic policeman on the other side to panic:

"Hey you...you...oh, I didn't say anything, why are you crying? Forget it, let's go..."

He waved his hand, no longer worrying about the child's safety and the helmet, and just urged Liu Liu to leave quickly.

But at this moment, her face was covered with tears. She could only look up and wipe her tears in embarrassment, and could not see the road at all.

It was not until a long while later that the traffic police helped push the tricycle to the side of the road. Only then did she pull her tired face and smile politely at them.

  Just then, the phone rang:

"Sister, I have a job here, do you want to do it?"

  Work?!

Can you do this job with kids?!

Liu Liu got excited instantly: "What, what kind of work? I, you... you know, Ran Ran is too young, I can't leave."

  On this side, Liu Ning had already made plans for her:

"It's a night shift job. I help people collect vegetables for 2-3 hours every night. I also tried this job. It's not heavy and I can do it with my child on my back."

Even because you work late at night, you can just leave your sleeping children at home.

"Originally it was including food and accommodation, 1200 yuan a month, but it was inconvenient for you to live in the dormitory with your child, so I discussed it with the boss..."

He rambled on: "I'll help you rent a house in the village. One thousand yuan a year will be enough."

"If you don't live in the dormitory, you will get a housing allowance of 100 yuan per month, and your salary will be 1300 yuan. It's not high, but it won't interfere with your child--would you like to do it?"

At this moment, Liu Liu's mind became more active than ever before——

  Thirteen thousand a month, fifteen thousand a year, is indeed a small amount of money, but with food included, it's basically free when rounded up!

If it is stable, she can work for two years, then quit and send her child to kindergarten, and then continue to look for other jobs!

Thinking of this, she immediately responded: "I'll do it!"
