Not long after Su Mo arrived at the office, Li Yunwang came over and asked her to go to his office to collect her salary.
As the office director, Li Yunwang also holds the position of human resources. He is responsible for paying the salaries and benefits of employees and cadres.
After receiving her salary for the first time, Su Mo was naturally very positive and went quickly.
The salary was twenty-seven and a half yuan, because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and there was also a five-yuan holiday fee, so I received a total of thirty-two and a half yuan.
As for the bills, in addition to the monthly quota of oil, meat and coal coupons, cloth coupons worth one foot and two were also issued. The commune also issued several daily coupons.
There is also a pound of bacon, two soaps, and two canned yellow peaches for the New Year.
Su Mo was very satisfied with receiving so many things during his first salary payment.
After Su Mo signed the receipt form, Li Yunwang added: "The commune has three days of holiday during the Spring Festival, from the first to the third day of the lunar month."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Director Li." After Su Mo thanked her, she carried her things and returned to the office.
At this time, the Spring Festival does not have such a long holiday, it is only three days off.
After lunch, Su Mo strolled to the supply and marketing cooperative to see how Lu Xiaolan was doing.
Lu Xiaolan had just finished discussing with her colleagues how to sort out the defective products. When she saw Su Mo coming, she quickly called her over.
"Third sister-in-law, the New Year's defective products are here. There are quite a lot of them. I have a lot of them in my name. I'll take you to take a look. You choose first." With that, he took Su Mo to the warehouse.
Because of the gold mine incident, the level of the commune supply and marketing cooperative was also raised one level. The number of defective products distributed this year was almost double that of previous years.
They consume these things internally first, and only sell them out if there are any leftovers.
Su Mo secretly looked at Lu Xiaolan and felt relieved when she saw that she didn't seem to be affected.
When Lu Xiaolan saw Su Mo acting like that, she knew what she was worried about. She smiled and whispered, "Don't worry, my mother-in-law didn't make things difficult for me."
"The third brother came over to talk to Jing Ming. Although he didn't become the secretary of the party committee, he was promoted one level."
Yang Jingming was previously at level 26 with a salary of 33 yuan. This time Lu Changzheng worked for him and promoted him to level 25 with a salary of 38 yuan.
After all, Lu Xiaolan was still there, and Lu Changzheng couldn't completely ignore her. Although he couldn't transfer her to another position, he could still upgrade her to another level.
Yang Jingming has also been working for several years. He works fairly diligently and meets the conditions for promotion.
"Third sister-in-law, don't worry. I've figured it out during this period. You don't have to worry about me in the future." Lu Xiaolan said.
In the past, she had to compromise out of consideration for her husband, but in the past few months, she had also realized that Yang Jingming was not as good as she thought.
As long as everyone gets along normally, life will be just fine. If you want to show off your authority in front of her, that's impossible. She, Lu Xiaolan, is not a coward.
Lu Changzheng talked to her two days ago and gave her confidence.
She was forbearing. On the one hand, she took care of her husband. As a junior, she could not contradict the old man too much. On the other hand, she was also afraid that the dispute would be too tense and it would not end well in the future, and she would have no place to go.
At this time, very few people were getting divorced.
Many women do not dare to divorce and return to their parents' home easily, no matter how difficult it is for them to live in their husband's family. I'm afraid that my brother and sister-in-law will mind, I'm afraid that my parents will scold me, and I'm afraid that my behavior will affect my family.
In some places with feudal ideologies, if a divorce occurs in a family, the whole family will be criticized.
Most of the older generation in this era encourage peace but not divorce. The most that can be done is to take the son to the man's house and beat him up.
Lu Xiaolan didn't know if her parents would agree to go home after a quarrel with her husband's family, or if her brother and sister-in-law would accept it.
But that day, her third brother told her to live life if she could, and go home if she couldn't.
Then, she would be relieved.
If she really can't live with Yang Jingming one day, at least there will be a brother willing to accept her when she returns home, and that's enough.
When the two arrived at the warehouse, there were indeed a lot of things, but Su Mo didn't need much.
Su Mo asked for 2 kilograms of defective yarn, but couldn't get more. Lu Xiaolan only had 4 kilograms of yarn.
There is no charge for defective yarn, and the price is half the price. Two pounds only cost 14 yuan. It's also gray, but it's not dyed well, and there are a lot of brown and black lines.
Then he asked for a towel and quilt with some flaws for Lu Boxing to use. When she went to see him in his room before, she saw that his thin quilt was very torn and had many patches.
Towel quilt (intrusion deleted)
It is said that the quilt is defective, but in fact it is just some corners that are dyed with other colors.
This kind of towel quilt, if you pay the original price, it will cost you eleven yuan and two cents, plus a five-foot cloth ticket. Now that it is deemed a defective product, it only costs eight yuan, and there is no need to pay for it.
Su Mo gave the money ticket, took the things and returned to the office.
In the afternoon, when Li Yue'e came to pick her up, she talked about pulling the wire.
"Your father said that it will take at most a week for the wires to reach our brigade. If electricity is to be connected by then, each household will have to pay a wire pulling fee of five yuan." Li Yue'e said.
Electrical wires are also very expensive these days. The North is a vast area, and the distance between houses is not close. The government still pays most of the five yuan cable fee.
Su Mo took out five dollars from her pocket and gave it to Li Yuee, "Mom, please help me give it to Dad later."
"Okay." Li Yue'e accepted the money, "Your father and the others went to do statistics today. There are not many households in the brigade that need electricity, only about thirty households. If the number is small, the power supply station may not be willing to provide it."
"Why?" Su Mo was a little surprised. This was less than one-fifth. It's so convenient to have electricity. It won't be so dark at night.
"I think the electricity bill is expensive." Li Yue'e said, "The electricity bill is 22 cents per kilowatt hour. No matter how much we save on it in a month, we still need 10 kilowatt hours of electricity. The monthly electricity bill is more than 2 cents, so we can't afford it. "
"Use kerosene lamps, use them sparingly, it only costs a few cents per kilogram a month."
Su Mo figured it out. Most of the light bulbs now are 15 watts. When a 15 watt light bulb is turned on for 24 hours, it only consumes 0.36 kilowatt-hours of electricity. What's more, rural people are very frugal and can only turn on their electricity for 3 to 4 hours a day at most at night. Calculated as 4 hours, it only costs 0.06 kilowatt-hours of electricity a day, only 1.8 kilowatt-hours a month, and the electricity bill does not exceed 40 cents.
"Mom, no need. If you only turn on a 15-watt light for three or four hours at night, the electricity bill will only be 40 cents a month."
Li Yue'e was shocked, "So cheap?" She was worried at first, but in the future, she would have a lot more expenses every month.
If the electricity bill is only a few cents, it is definitely better than using a kerosene lamp. You have to pay for kerosene. The electric lamp is so good. Once it is turned on, the whole room will be bright.
"Mom, when you ask dad and the others to do statistics, calculate the electricity bill. As long as you don't turn on the lights all day long, you can definitely do it within 1 yuan." I guess the two old people have never studied physics, and they don't know much about calculations. .
"Okay, I'll tell him when I get back. For these few cents for electricity, everyone will definitely be willing to pull the wire."
When getting out of the car, Su Mo gave Li Yuee a towel, two cans of yellow peaches, and a piece of soap.
"Mom, I paid my salary and benefits today. You can take these things. That towel and quilt are for me."
Li Yue'e accepted it with a smile. It was the Chinese New Year soon. Xiao Mo had knitted a sweater for her, so she had to make her some clothes.
