Chapter 627: Benefits Arrive Home

Sihe Academy

The workers of the Rolling Mill returned home filled with joy, carrying their holiday benefits.

This brought a festive atmosphere to the entire courtyard.

There was fish, there was meat, and there were eggs and industrial coupons.

"It's still better to be a worker!"

"After all, it's a big factory, the benefits are just good."

"An iron rice bowl is just fragrant."

"These two fish must weigh at least seven or eight catties!"

"Seven or eight catties? These fish were weighed on a scale! Twelve catties and four taels! A high amount!"

"Whoa! Twelve catties! Your factory's benefits are top-tier!"

In this era, being called "Big Brother Worker" made one proud.

All factories belonged to the state, and joining a factory as a worker meant being allocated housing.

One had grain coupons for food, medical care cost nothing, income was high, and benefits were good.

Upon retirement, not only was there a pension, but children could also take over the position.

In a word, once you entered a factory, you didn't have to worry about birth, old age, sickness, or death.

Moreover, workers were the main force in building the country.

From the perspective of social equality, the income gap between cadres and workers was extremely small.

In this era, apart from having different divisions of labor, cadres had almost no special privileges compared to workers.

Because they made outstanding contributions to the construction of the motherland, workers were even more respected than cadres.

The term "Big Brother Worker" contained intimacy, gratitude, and admiration.

It was precisely because of this atmosphere and environment that everyone took pride in being a worker.

Everyone admired model workers, and everyone strove to be a pacesetter.

Seeing the workers of the Rolling Mill returning home with generous benefits,

many people working in other units felt an indescribable envy.

Yan Jiecheng returned home carrying his benefits, and his stature seemed to have grown.

He walked with his head held high, taking wide strides, looking incredibly arrogant.

Although he hadn't been in the factory long, he had all the benefits he was supposed to have.

Especially since he worked on the front line, the benefits he received were even more than those of Song Yulan and Cao Weiguo.

Two large carp, two catties of pork, a net bag of eggs...

This made Yan Fugui and his wife unable to stop smiling.

But before they could be happy for long, Yan Jiecheng dealt them a heavy blow.

"Dad! I earned these things through hard work!"

"There are so many people in the family, they can't eat for free!"

"Each person should at least give me a yuan or two!"

"You still want money!"

Yan Fugui, who always loved to calculate, became anxious on the spot:

"Eldest! Look at what you're saying!"

"Is that how you act as a son and an eldest brother?"

"You should be filial to your parents and take care of your younger siblings!" ===== CHAPTER 629 =====
