Chapter 19 Workers’ Injury Compensation
Gao Dongxu was speechless. The reasons were very powerful and the moral blackmail was very effective.

"Come on, eat some more, eat more, get better soon..." Jia Zhang was holding the lunch box and the soup spoon, wanting to continue feeding, but Gao Dongxu turned his head slightly and refused.

"You kid..."

"I'm full, Mom, you can drink the rest..." Gao Dongxu said softly with difficulty.

"I've already eaten, I'll save these for you..." Even if Jia Zhang had only a bowl of corn porridge in the morning, she would not drink the meal for her son's recovery.

Gao Dongxu watched Jia Zhang close the lunch box, feeling extremely emotional.

Hunger is the sad theme of this era.

Due to natural disasters and material shortages, the Chinese people's daily consumption is "rationed." This is especially true for food. Once the rations are finished, they will go hungry.

In those days, money alone wasn't enough. For example, residents of the capital, in addition to using food coupons to buy grain, also needed "Residents' Food Purchase Certificates" to buy non-staple foods. Each person could buy two taels of sugar and one jin of salt per month. Oil coupons could also buy three taels of cooking oil per month. Each household could also buy half a jin of thin yellow bean paste.

To buy grain, meat and oil, you need grain coupons, meat coupons, oil coupons, and industrial coupons. To buy daily necessities such as towels, blankets, batteries, iron pots, kettles, umbrellas, etc., you also need coupons.

To be honest, in this day and age, many people are not without money, but they cannot buy things even if they have money.

A bowl of rice cost four taels of grain coupons plus eight cents. A single sesame seed bun cost two taels of grain coupons plus four cents. As for expensive snacks and biscuits? No matter how much money you had, you couldn't buy them without grain coupons. Even if they looked "cheap," you couldn't eat them without them.

So although money is important, food coupons are the lifeline.

From memory, I know that the current "black market price" of one jin of Beijing food coupons is as high as 3 yuan. The problem is that there is no demand for them.

Although Gao Dongxu could easily improve the lives of the Jia family, he was now lying on the hospital bed and could do nothing. He could only watch and endure until he could move freely and go out. Only then could he get some supplies and quietly improve the lives of the Jia family without being suspected or targeted.

As for eating meat and drinking alcohol all day long... that is undoubtedly courting death, unless the meat you eat, the alcohol you drink, and the money and receipts you spend come from completely reasonable and legal sources, otherwise, you will be reported in minutes.

"Mom, go back and tell Huairu to take out the 30 or so yuan you saved and ask the old man to buy some food coupons or ask him to find a solution, and then go buy some coarse grains..."

Listening to what her stingy son said, Jia Zhang was a little stunned, but she quickly reacted and said, "The family has enough food for this month..."

Gao Dongxu shook his head slightly and said in a low voice with difficulty, "Listen, Mom, although I suffered a work-related injury this time, I don't know what level it will be classified as, nor do I know how much compensation I will get. However, according to the severity of my injury, even if I recover, I may still have a root cause of the disease. I may not be able to do heavy physical work anymore. The factory may arrange a less busy job for me in the future, but in this case, my salary will be less.

During the time I was recovering from my injury, I could only get 70% of my first-level salary. Huairu was about to give birth, and with the addition of another mouth to feed, life would be even tighter.

You know the situation these past two years. No one has enough to eat, and no one has any surplus food. So, now, don't worry about money, food is the foundation. . . Even if you can't eat your fill, you can't go hungry. . . Ahem... . . "

Gao Dongxu talked too much and started coughing uncontrollably. Jia Zhang hurried forward to check on him and put her hand on his chest to help him breathe smoothly.

"Dongxu, stop talking and just lie down. I know what you said. I'll tell her when I get back..."

Hearing Jia Zhang's agreement, Gao Dongxu smiled faintly. He also knew that Jia Zhang still had three or four hundred yuan for the coffin, but he did not mention it because he knew that Jia Zhang would not take it out unless she was forced to do so.

Fortunately, Gao Dongxu didn't worry about Jia Zhang's coffin money, because someone would soon send him money. And just as Gao Dongxu expected, the person who sent him the money didn't make him wait too long.

Three days later in the morning, the director of the Red Star Steel Mill came with people to visit him.

The status of workers in this era is indeed high.

Director Yang, a middle-aged man in a Mao suit, had a square face, regular features, and a serious expression. Despite his simple attire, he exuded the aura of a superior.

Gao Dongxu, lying on the hospital bed, stretched out his hand with difficulty and shook hands with Director Yang, who had a kind smile on his face.

After Director Yang showed his warm concern, he let Gao Dongxu rest assured to receive treatment and recuperate in the hospital. He promised to pay all the treatment expenses, medicine expenses, hospitalization expenses, meals during hospitalization and travel expenses during the hospitalization. His salary would be paid as usual during the medical treatment period.

These words made Qin Huairu, who was standing aside and felt a little uneasy because of seeing the factory director and had a big belly, her beautiful eyes sparkle, as if a huge stone had been lifted from her.

However, Gao Dongxu knew that these were the provisions on work-related injury benefits in the "Labor Insurance Regulations" promulgated by the state.

"Thank you, Director, cough cough cough..." Gao Dongxu held Director Yang's hand with an excited expression. He seemed to want to get up, which affected his injured area and caused him to cough violently.

"Lie down, lie down quickly, don't get excited..." Director Yang was very satisfied with Gao Dongxu's reaction, and asked Gao Dongxu to lie down with great concern.

Gao Dongxu, lying down with a flushed face and a grateful look, saw someone in the crowd standing behind Director Yang taking pictures with a silver-gray and black Xingfu brand camera.

Sure enough, it’s the same in every era.

At this time, Director Yang saw that Gao Dongxu had calmed down, turned around and signaled to the director of the logistics department behind him.

"Comrade Jia Dongxu, the factory leadership has unanimously voted in a meeting to determine, based on the hospital's assessment of your injury, that your lung function is moderately impaired and you experience difficulty breathing during general activities and light work. Therefore, your work-related injury level is classified as a Grade 3 disability.

According to Articles 18, and of the Work Injury Insurance Regulations, if an employee is identified as having a disability grade one to ten due to work-related disability, the work injury insurance fund will pay a one-time disability allowance, and the disability grade five will be months' salary.

During the medical treatment period and the period of suspension with pay, the original salary and benefits will remain unchanged and the salary will be paid monthly.

After you recover, the factory will arrange a new position for you based on your actual situation. . . ”

After listening to the assessment of his work injury level and the compensation results, Gao Dongxu was quite satisfied. He received 18 months' salary as a one-time compensation.

He is a first-class fitter and earns twenty-three and a half dollars a month.

423 yuan.

That's a lot of money in this day and age.
