She originally planned to just register and report back three days later, but Director Lin directly helped her go through the onboarding procedures.
“It’s the end of the month. If you go through the onboarding procedures today, you can get half a month’s salary. After today, it will be gone. It doesn’t matter. People who live far away from home should have more time to settle down.”
After stamping the seal a few times, Ye Ning became a regular employee of Everbright Pharmaceutical Factory, “You are one of the employees who have been recruited. When you enter the factory, you will be a regular worker. The salary is 35 yuan per month and 30 kilograms of food stamps. If you eat in the factory, you can directly give the food stamps to the canteen. If you want to go home, you can take it away if you want to eat it, you will just have to sign for it. Two pairs of work clothes and two pairs of work shoes every quarter shall be given. I will write a note to you now. You go to the logistics department first to collect the clothes.”
The employees who are usually recruited into the factory started from being an apprentice to becoming a full-time worker in the factory, it must be said that it was a blessing for the children of those cadres. Ye Ning knew this very well.
It was just that Director Lin was too enthusiastic and considerate towards her. This was completely different from the face she showed before. Was it because of Uncle Wang Yao’s relationship?
“By the way, do you want to live in the dormitory? I remember that there seems to be an empty bed in a double room. If you want it, I’ll give it to you first.” Director Lin looked like she was praising her for being lucky.
“No, I rented a house outside, so I won’t bother the factory.” Ye Ning refused with a smile, and Wang Bin and others came in.
“Ye Ning, are you here to report too?”
Wang Bin and others had also come to report. Director Lin also went through the onboarding procedures for them. What she told Ye Ning before about giving resettlement time for people living far away from home was nonsense. Wang Bin and others had come to report. The family compound he lived next to was only a ten-minute walk away. How far was it?
“Director Lin, I’m going to pick up the clothes first.” Ye Ning nodded and said hello to Wang Bin and others, and took the note to pick up clothes and shoes. She was different from ordinary office workers. The workshop assistant often had to enter the workshop, so she was better than others. There were two more sets of workshop uniforms and shoes.
She must eat in the factory. Anyway, she could take food home if she didn’t want to eat. Ye Ning handed the meal tickets directly to the canteen.
When Ye Ning was about to leave, she went to Director Lin to say hello. Wang Bin and others had already left. She would also be her leader from now on. No matter why she took such good care of her, she had to abide by her duties and never be distracted.
Watching Ye Ning leave, the female colleague next to Director Lin asked: “What background does this little girl have that she deserves to be treated like this?”
Director Lin was the deputy director of the Human Resources Department and had a lot of power. Except for a few leaders in the factory, when had she been so enthusiastic to others?
Lin Hong smiled slightly and said: “What’s the background? I just saw that the girl was young, not much older than my girl, so I couldn’t help nagging her with a few words, have you finished your work?”
“No, I’ll do it right now.” The woman hurriedly returned to her desk to work. She didn’t believe Lin Hong’s words at all. Why didn’t she, an apprentice who entered the factory at the age of sixteen, not make her feel soft-hearted because of her young age?
The expression on Lin Hong’s face did not change. She picked up the letter of introduction on the table. This was the factory director who had greeted her personally. Look at the appearance of Secretary Wang’s son just now. He was good looking, regardless of whether he was marrying her. Whether it was the eldest son or the secretary, they were all the people she wanted to fawn over.
Ye Ning didn’t know the twists and turns involved. She just returned to the rented house, folded her work clothes and put them away. She also had to pack the things that were moved from the dormitory, so she rushed to the school dormitory.
There were not many things in the dormitory, and they were all taken back to her hometown. Ye Ning packed them up, locked the door and left. She really wouldn’t miss this place at all.
The people on their floor were all high school seniors. Everyone had gone back, except for Ye Ning. If it weren’t for the fact that there was no place to live, Ye Ning wouldn’t want to live here. She was so panicked at night that she was so scared that she couldn’t even go to the toilet. Sometimes she didn’t even dare to go. Ye Ning didn’t even need to look in the mirror to know that she had dark circles under her eyes.
When catching the evening bus home, people in the village saw Ye Ning and everyone was concerned about her college entrance examination results.
“Xiao Ning, the college entrance examination is over?”
“I heard the results are out, Ye Ning, what score did you get?” Everyone was extremely curious about Ye Ning’s results.
“My grades are average, but I’ll have no problem getting into college.” Ye Ning had chosen the junior college teacher’s college when she filled out her application form, so she should have been able to get into it.
“Really, that’s a great thing. Is your dad coming back?”
“Then he will definitely come back. Brother Qingshan usually pays much attention to Ye Ning. He will definitely come back after she is admitted to college.”
People in the village were talking to each other. Some people were happy for Ye Qingshan and Ye Ning.
If Ye Ning went to college, she would be the first college student in their village, and it would be an honor to go out.
“Hey! The college student is back.” When Aunt Guihua saw Ye Ning, she said proudly: “My son is getting married soon. The girl is from the town. Her parents are both workers in the supply and marketing cooperative. She looks pretty. She is smart and sensible, and very filial. Look at my clothes. My daughter-in-law gave them to me.”
“Oh, congratulations.” Ye Ning silently mourned for Ye Huaxing’s wife in her heart. If she met such a top-notch family, if she was soft-hearted, she must be bullied to death.
Aunt Guihua felt that Ye Ning’s reaction was too cold and completely different from what she thought. She snorted, “You said that you were admitted to college. You didn’t even dare to say your score. Who knows whether you passed the exam or not? You think it’s still… Hurry up and find a man to marry while you are young.”
Many women in the village thought that what Aunt Guihua said was reasonable, and they also persuaded her, “Yes, Xiao Ning, you are already nineteen this year, and you will be twenty when you go to college next year. If you are too old, by then all good men will have married a wife, and it will be useless to read so many books. You see, Huaxing became a teacher after graduating from high school. He thought he might as well join the job force to make money now, and help his father reduce the burden.”
“What are you talking about? Xiao Ning doesn’t need to pay for her schooling, so you don’t have to talk so much.” Her mother-in-law stood up to defend Ye Ning, “Our, Xiao Ning is a college student. She will look for a college student husband in the future and will not be matched by just any cat or dog.”
“Damn old woman. Whose cat and dog are you talking about?” Aunt Guihua pointed at the woman and yelled angrily.
Ye Ning slapped her hand away, “She didn’t mention you by name. Why are you so anxious to take the seat? Oh, I forgot that you haven’t read a book and don’t know what the correct seat means. Why don’t you go back and ask your educated son. By the way, your son doesn’t come home very often. Now that he has married someone from the town, he will never come back again. Then won’t he end up becoming a son-in-law in someone else’s house.”
Aunt Guihua’s face turned pure white, and she turned around angrily and went back. Ye Ning just said something that really touched her heart.
Having a son like Ye Huaxing, her son rarely came back. She just thought he was busy with work. But since he got together with her daughter-in-law, he never came home. She couldn’t help but go to the town to see her son, who was not at school at all, and had gone to his father-in-law’s house early in the morning instead. The last time she proposed marriage, she saw that her son was very considerate to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, which made her feel sour in her heart.
Seeing her leaving, Ye Ning said something to the people next to her and went back.
