Poor family mother and son

It is impossible for Chu Qing to really solve technical problems. Fortunately, when he was young, Master Lu came back.

This year, Master Lu had an indescribable life.

The first half of the year was fine, at Chu Qing's request, let Master Lu take a good rest, so Master Lu stayed in the capital, and wandered around Chu Qing's shops to help with repairs.

And Huang Zhong would play with him from time to time, very happy.

In the summer, Master Lu got in touch with a few old guys who had retired from the Ministry of Industry, and he started to feel bad.

Master Lu himself was considered the most stable retiree, and several of his old buddies, including his two apprentices, were all dismissed due to disability.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Publicity and Industry are similar to serving in the military. There is a saying that they can retire after serving for a certain number of years, but usually they are not retired normally, and sometimes they even serve for life.

But it is also different from military service. They are contract workers serving the government. They are paid, and they are "dead wages". No matter how much work they do, or what inventions they make, their wages will not change.

In addition to contract workers, there are also temporary workers. These temporary workers are equivalent to "corvets". When the tasks of the Ministry of Industry are heavy, some folk craftsmen will be recruited to act as temporary workers. They only pay for food and do not pay.

It was because Master Lu met a down-and-out old guy on the street this time that he learned that they were fired because of injuries and disabilities.

When he was in his prime, he was elected by the Ministry of Industry. After working for 30 years, he could not save money even with his dead wages. When he was old and disabled, he was kicked out and ignored.

Such people no longer have the physical strength and capital to earn a living, and even cannot survive alone because of their disabilities.

The most embarrassing thing is that they also created many new crafts and new technologies for the Ministry of Industry, but these credits were taken away by the superiors, and they didn't even tell them that it was credit, without any rewards.

Let’s just say that two of Master Lu’s apprentices developed fireworks for the Ministry of Industry, and they blew up a row of work sheds.

Master Lu brought back eleven people this time, all of whom were disabled and had no home. The young ones were divorced;

Working as a craftsman for the government, he went home very rarely, had less contact with his children, and couldn't get much money back to support his family, so his family relationship was weak.

The life of my daughter-in-law is no different from that of a widow, and she naturally complains a lot in her heart. Even if there is no separation, it is inevitable that she will be full of complaints and resentment in front of her children.

In such an environment, it is almost impossible for children to have any emotional connection with their father. Coupled with the hard life, it eventually creates a situation of "the father is unkind and the son is unfilial".

Master Lu is the person with the best life now. Not only does Chuqing give him the treatment of a "senior engineer", he has a car when he goes out, and a house in the city, but he also has a life-long system and enjoys [-]% of the shares of Baolu Group, which is equivalent to giving him Pension.

If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will also help your friends. Master Lu regards these old guys as his responsibility, and brings them back to help them earn a living.

"Girl Qing, they don't know how to eat idle food. Although they are all disabled, they are all skilled and can take care of their apprentices. I will pay their wages. You can find something to do and arrange a place for them to live, okay? ?” Master Lu begged Chu Qing like this.

In the new year, you should be happy. Master Lu's request is not high, and Chu Qing needs all kinds of craftsmen, so he naturally agrees.

Just as he was about to promise, Xiao Bao took the lead in saying, "Grandpa Lu, how can I let you pay the wages! Since you are here, of course you have to arrange room and board, the trial period is half a year, [-] cents per month;
After half a year, if you pass the qualifications, you can become a full-time employee and become a great craftsman in our family. The salary will be five taels of silver per month, and other bonuses will be calculated according to your contribution. Do you think it will work? "

Chu Qing closed her mouth and said nothing, but she was not very happy.

Twenty Wen, now the wages of long-term workers are more than this!

Master Lu has been with him for so many years. It can be said that the family business is basically supported by Master Lu as the greatest technical force. How can he treat his friends so poorly?

If the child is rushing to talk at this time, he must have his own ideas.

Even though she was dissatisfied, Chu Qing still respected them. At worst, she would send them a separate subsidy later.

Master Lu was not very satisfied when he heard that there was still a half-year probationary period due to his own guarantee, because he thought that Chu Qing would agree to it immediately, and immediately let these people stay and live with peace of mind.

It's not a question of how much money, but that Master Lu is eager to give these people the courage and hope to live a good life.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Master Lu would not have known that they were already living in a state of waiting to die. It would really be like walking dead, which is really regrettable.

But Xiaobao said that he would become a full-time employee in half a year, and that the salary would be five taels of silver per month, so Master Lu was speechless again.

Because in many big families nowadays, the master's monthly money is only five taels.The pension for a soldier who dies on the battlefield is also five taels.

Five taels is equal to one life.

Master Lu set his sights on these disabled old guys to see how they reacted.

As a result, the eyes of these people shone with hope: "Really? Let us try? Don't worry, we promise to do a good job! No wages, a place to live, and thick porridge twice a day are enough!"

"That's natural," Xiaobao said, "We must have wages, and our Chu family will not treat anyone who is loyal and willing to work badly!"

Xiaobao did not emphasize their craftsmanship and technology, but emphasized loyalty and hard work.

I understand clearly.

Xiaobao believes in Grandpa Lu's character, but it doesn't mean he believes in the character of these people.

Moreover, things that are too easy to get are not cherished, and Xiao Bao doesn't intend to let them settle down immediately, he doesn't want to be a bastard or a white-eyed wolf.

If these people want to rely on Master Lu's relationship to eat and drink, they are determined not to do so. They are not only irresponsible to the Chu family, but also to Master Lu.

Master Lu is such a good person, Xiaobao does not hope that one day in the future, Master Lu will be sad because of their character.

Xiaobao felt that Grandpa Lu and his mother were the same kind of people who tended to act emotionally, so he had to be the villain.

He needed to inspect and evaluate those people, and he didn't want to embarrass Master Lu, so he offered a low salary of [-] Wen a month during the probationary period, but promised the treatment of a master craftsman after he became a regular.

Standing outside the courtyard, Zhuo Yao felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhuo Yao didn't know if he was loyal or not, because he really didn't intend to harm Xiaobao and Chu Qing, but he wasn't completely honest either.

Xiaobao still treats him affectionately, and does nothing to avoid him, but he still doesn't dare to sway in front of Chu Qing.

In the past, he would have stood close to Chu Qing, because Master Lu brought outsiders, he would have stood close to him to guard against any changes.

Right now, it was Xiangzi standing beside Chu Qing, he himself didn't dare to stand next to Xiaobao, but chose to stand outside the courtyard.

"Ah yes, come here!" Chu Qing suddenly turned around and called him, and it was not "Zhuo Yao".

"Ah...here we come!" Zhuo Yao's voice trembled a little. Chu Qing hadn't talked to him for a long time, nor had he met his eyes. He was a little nervous and even a little excited.

"Take them to wash up and arrange a place to live." Chu Qing said.

Since Xiaobao didn't have any doubts about Zhuo Yao, then Chu Qing also accepted him.
