In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

The room was even more chaotic. Six long tables were placed side by side, with many pay bags stacked on them. Each worker's salary was placed in these pay bags. When it was a worker's turn, they had to clearly state which mining area and team they were from, and then the payroll staff would look for the pay bag on the table corresponding to that mining area.

Once found, go through the ledger. It contains names and the amount of wages paid this month. After the workers confirm, they can stamp it and collect their wages.

The wages of miners are all pretty much the same. There are no bonuses, only basic wages. When you first come to the mine, you have to be a front-line worker underground. The monthly wage is 45.18 yuan. After six months, you become a regular worker and the monthly wage is 52.87 yuan. Then you are divided into job grades. The eighth grade worker earns 84.68 yuan per month.

Working in the mines involves three or four shifts, with no holidays. Everyone takes care of things during their breaks, even major life events like weddings, which are usually done in their spare time.

The Women's Federation's wages were different from the mine's wages, but they were still collected by the comrades in the wage department. The head of the wage department handed the wage bags of Luo Yu and the others to Director Xu with a smile, and then handed her a booklet.

Luo Yu took out his stamp and stamped it, then proposed to pay Xi Beizhan.

The head of the payroll department glanced at Luo Yu, then looked at Director Xu.

Generally speaking, workers collect their wages in person. If family members want to come and pay their wages, they must get the worker's consent and bring the worker's handprint.

The head of the payroll department knew that Xi Beizhan had a girlfriend and that they had apparently gotten their marriage certificate today, but she had never seen Luo Yu.

Director Xu nodded to the head of the payroll department, "Give it to her, the two of them just got their marriage certificate today."

The head of the payroll department smiled and nodded, carefully examining Luo Yu and memorizing her appearance.

The security section's salary was paid by the armed forces department and placed on a separate table. The head of the salary section personally took out Xi Beizhan's salary bag and handed it to Luo Yu.

With a stamp on the cover, her salary arrived. Luo Yu smiled and expressed her gratitude, also leaving a lot of wedding candy for her colleagues in the payroll department.

After receiving their salaries, Director Xu stayed behind to chat with the head of the payroll department for a while, while Luo Yu and the others returned to their offices first.

Luo Yu had only been there a few days, and this month's pay was low, amounting to only 10.45 yuan. However, her paycheck contained a lot of coupons, including 32 jin of grain coupons.

Miners are manual laborers, and they receive more grain per month than those in regular factories. For example, male miners underground receive about 35 to 40 jin of grain coupons per month.

Besides the food coupons, Luo Yu also found the bath tickets she had been longing for, a total of ten. Luo Yu was stunned when she saw them.

So many bath tickets?

Seeing Luo Yu's adorable and silly appearance, the aunties all laughed.

"What's the big deal? We have plenty more here."

Luo Yu ran over and saw that, sure enough, each of the older women had a thick stack of bath tickets, at least twenty or thirty in total.

Why are you sending so many?

The others rolled their eyes at Luo Yu.

"Which family doesn't have several family members? You can't be the only one taking a shower while your family members don't, can you?"

“Not at all. We don’t even have enough for our needs. My family has thirteen people in total. If each person takes a shower once every ten days, we’ll need forty tickets.”

“We can go to the shower ourselves with our work IDs, but family members can’t, so we were issued shower tickets.”

"There are many workers in the mine, and the comrade who looks after the bathhouse can't possibly recognize them all. One bath ticket per visit, no need for further explanation."

Luo Yu was taken aback again, "Is a work ID enough?"

So what's the point of her not showering for the past few days? Didn't she endure it for nothing?

I should have gone to take a shower on the first day she arrived.

The older women were also taken aback. "You don't know?"

Luo Yu shook his head blankly.

She had taken over the original owner's body and knew almost everything about the original owner, but these kinds of small things were deeply buried in the original owner's mind. If Luo Yu didn't think about them deeply, she really couldn't remember them for a while.

The older women were amused.

"Isn't your dad also from the mine? How come you don't even know this basic common sense?"

"This kid is too carefree. Doesn't your dad know he has to take a shower every day after he comes up here? If he has to use a shower ticket every day, it'll be too much of a hassle."

"This is different. The bathhouse for the miners is not the same as ours. We go to the bathhouse for the staff and their families. It is a bathhouse specifically for the miners."

"That's true."

……

The older women laughed and made a few comments, then moved on to other things, not thinking much of it.

Seeing the older women chatting happily about everyday things again, Luo Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and joined in.

After getting off work, Luo Yu rushed home, packed her things for a shower, and then rushed back to the mine with her washbasin.

After making some inquiries, Luo Yu learned that the bathhouse was not far from the back gate, so she quickly ran over there.

As soon as you enter the bathhouse, a wave of heat hits you. Before you even go inside, you can hear voices and laughter coming from inside.

The auntie at the gate glanced at Luo Yu's work ID and let her in, even giving her a small padlock.

Inside, everything was white, with people undressing and dressed huddled together. Luo Yu didn't mind; she was used to it. If this were a southerner, she would probably blush and quickly retreat.

Several rows of wooden cabinets blocked the entrance, each small compartment locked. The boxes no longer had corresponding numbers, so whether or not clothes could be put in a box was entirely a matter of luck. If you were lucky, you'd get an empty box; if you weren't, you'd have to leave your clothes on the bench.

Don't worry about it getting stolen. Even if you don't lock it, it's unlikely anyone will take it. People in Northeast China are generally quite civilized, so no one will touch it if you leave it outside.

Of course, there are also those who are dishonest, but they are rare. Once caught, the consequences can be severe. At best, they will have their pay docked and receive a public reprimand; at worst, they will be demoted.

Dismissal is impossible. In this era, workers are the masters of their own destiny, and it's not acceptable to dismiss employees casually. Unless you make a serious mistake, cause significant losses to the factory or mine, or violate the law, you are rarely dismissed.

Luo Yu walked in, and she was really lucky. There was a lady who had just finished taking a shower and was getting dressed.

Luo Yu's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood next to her older sister. "Sister, will anyone be taking this cabinet later?"

The older woman shook her head. "No, you can use it. I'll be dressed right away."

He took out the last two pieces of clothing and put them aside, then gave the box to Luo Yuteng.

Luo Yu quickly thanked him and happily began to take off her clothes.

There's no such thing as being shy. Once you take off your clothes, everyone's the same. Nobody has more or less anything, so what's there to be shy about? The important thing is to have a good, relaxing shower.

After locking the wardrobe and carrying a washbasin, Luo Yu rushed into the bathhouse, only to be met with a startling surprise.

The pristine white bath was fine; she was used to the bathing culture of Northeast China and didn't think much of it. But the bathtub was incredibly dirty! The top layer was covered in black grime. How was she supposed to get in?
