Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

"I will find a time later and ask those who want to work here to apply. I have no choice but to promise you now that I will keep the person only if I see him/her and think he/she is suitable. This has always been our rule.

Third Aunt, if there are any other suitable people, please feel free to introduce them to me. When I have time to spare and the new factory is almost built, I will tell you the exact time for recruitment! Don’t worry about this matter now! ! "

After Xia Shengsheng finished speaking, Aunt Liu seemed to be thinking about something.

When she went back to her mother's house some time ago, she met her brother's sister-in-law's niece. She was so thin that she looked like she could be blown down by a gust of wind, and yet she still wanted to work!

In fact, she didn't feel comfortable asking for it, but her sister-in-law begged her too hard.

I only dared to ask Xia Shengsheng when I had no other choice.

After learning that I had to meet the person in person to make a decision, I felt that there was no hope for this matter.

So he smiled and exchanged a few words with Xia Shengsheng, then quickly sent him home.

Xia Shengsheng thought he could go home directly, but he was stopped by someone just a short distance away.

This time it was none other than the new village chief’s wife, Ma Dajie.

Ma Dajia is still working as a supervisor in the vermicelli factory as before.

Li Erjia was transferred to the instant noodle factory as a supervisor.

The workers in the vermicelli factory are all from the village, and no one has been left out since the operation started.

But most of the workers at the instant noodle factory were from other villages. Some of them did not survive the disaster, and some of them could not be found.

After the factory started operating, in addition to a few people from the village, there were also Pan Meili and three or four other women working there.

When the factory first started operating, the nearby villages had not yet recovered, and many people were still fleeing the famine and had not returned yet.

So Xia Shengsheng hired more than 20 people in a nearby town, and after a period of training, he gradually reopened the instant noodle factory.

The original supervisor Chen Siyao was unable to come to work, so Li Erjia took over.

There is no re-election for the deputy director for the time being.

"Village chief's wife, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xia Shengsheng said with a smile.

Ma Dajia scolded Xia Shengsheng, "What village head's wife? You are not allowed to call me that when others give me this title. Just like before, you call me Supervisor Ma and I call you Boss during the daytime. When we get off work at night, you call me Sister-in-law and I call you Sister. We are not allowed to be estranged from each other!"

Xia Shengsheng was just joking just now, so now he naturally agreed with Ma Dajia's suggestion with a smile.

Supervisor Ma is what the villagers have always called her. Everyone even abandoned Ms. Ma's former surname and directly used her husband's surname.

However, no one cared about this, because in ancient times, everyone seemed to have already accepted that after getting married, they would get used to the husband's surname, and the original surname did not seem to be so important!

But Xia Shengsheng is different. As a modern person, she certainly cannot abandon her original surname.

Originally, some people in the village called her Liu Erjia or Liu Jia Meizi, but now almost no one calls her that.

Most people call him Mr. Xia whether they are at work or not. Those who are closer to him or those who do not work for Xia Shengsheng call him Xiao Xia or Sister Xia!

No one mentioned her husband's surname anymore!

"Then sister-in-law, just tell me, what's the matter? Is it worth it for you to come and stop me so late at night?"

Mr. Ma was not polite and just said what he wanted to say.

It turned out that what she did was similar to what Aunt Liu San did.

Isn't it settled now? Her eldest son is not young anymore. If it weren't for the changes in the past few years, he would have already started a family.

So she had been looking for one during this period, and she really found a family she liked, from a nearby village. Although the family was a little poor, the girl was a good parent with a nice personality, and she was said to be good at work!

I heard that Xia Shengsheng had spread the word that she was looking for workers, and the girl from that family also wanted to apply.

This matter didn't come to her, but the Ma family heard about it and wanted to help!

It's not that she wanted Xia Shengsheng to keep the girl right away, but she wanted to do her a favor and let the girl stay and work if the conditions were equal and she could only choose one of the two. However, she didn't dare to hope for more.

After hearing this, Xia Shengsheng felt that Mr. Ma’s request was not excessive.

If that time really comes and the conditions of the two girls are similar and only one can stay, she will definitely be willing to give face to Mr. Ma.

So he agreed and asked about the girl's name and village, thinking of paying attention to this girl in the future. The two chatted about things in the factory for a while, and Xia Shengsheng went back first.

When she got home, the meal had already been prepared and the whole family was waiting for her to eat!

"You haven't eaten yet? It's so late, you should eat first! We even had some steamed buns on the way!"

Ye Chao and his friends said that it is better for the whole family to eat together. Besides, they didn’t have to wait too long, so they ate some cakes to fill their stomachs.

Except for the little ones, the other servants in the house had already eaten and were not asked to wait.

"Okay then, let's eat quickly! You don't have to wait for us next time, just eat when you're ready. Doctor Zhao, are you coming to eat?" Xia Shengsheng asked.

"Aunt Jin prepared dinner in the evening, and I sent a portion to Grandpa Zhao. He should have eaten it by now, otherwise it would be past dinner time and Grandpa Zhao would get angry!! Grandpa Zhao is scary when he gets angry! I don't know why, but his temper has been getting worse and worse recently!"

Sicheng felt a lingering fear when he thought of Doctor Zhao's angry look.

Xia Shengsheng also felt that Doctor Zhao seemed different from before. His temper had become much worse, but he would be fine after a while.

Maybe the older you get, the worse your temper becomes!!

"You guys should respect your Grandpa Zhao. Your Grandpa Zhao got angry, but he will be fine after a while. Don't be afraid of him because of this kind of thing. In fact, your Grandpa Zhao is quite lonely by himself."

The children all had a deep affection for Doctor Zhao, so they deeply agreed with what Xia Shengsheng said.

After dinner, Xia Shengsheng told everyone that Yiyi was going to Linyi Prefecture to study.

"Sister, are you going that far? Then we won't be able to see each other for a long time, right?"

"Linyi Prefecture is even farther away than where Brother Siyuan lives. It takes six or seven days to go there, and more than half a month to go back and forth. Big sister, if you go to such a far place, everyone will miss you!"

"Sister Yiyi, wouldn't you be scared if you went there alone?"

"Big sister, do you have to go so far? I'm really worried about you as a girl!!"

Several children chattered a lot, and Yiyi patiently responded to everyone one by one.

The whole family sat in the main room and chatted until very late. Finally, with Yiyi's persuasion, all the children accepted that Yiyi was going to study in Linyi Prefecture!

But when I thought about Yi Yi being away from home for so long, I couldn't help feeling melancholy.

Xia Shengsheng said that when the time comes, they will let several children go to see Yiyi off together, so that the children will feel better.
