Chapter 69 Reform through labor
Sending these people to the police uncle has no meaning for the shipyard. Moreover, because it was an attempted theft, these people may only need to pay a deposit before they can go back.
When these guys come out again, they will definitely regard the shipyard as an eyesore and will come to cause damage. Qin Tao doesn't want to be worried about a group of thieves every day.
So just change your thinking.
Let these guys work for free in the shipyard. Labor is the best way to transform people. By the time these submarines are dismantled, maybe these guys will be used to working?
Even if his true nature is hard to change, at least he should let them go, and he will have to think carefully about it in the future. If they quit midway, then these few pieces of paper can save them from eternal disaster.
When the country begins to rectify the social order, handing in these letters of repentance will be enough for them to eat peanuts.
In the office of the shipyard, the four people finished writing a letter of repentance and put their fingerprints on it. Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, after working hard for most of the night, you can go home. Be here at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. If it is seven At one point and one second, I haven’t seen you yet… You are responsible for the consequences!”
“We’ve been going back and forth so much that we can’t sleep at all, so let’s just sleep here for a while.” Ma Laoliu said.
“Okay, you can go to the cafeteria to have breakfast tomorrow morning. Eat more, you will be very tired tomorrow.”
The next day, when it was still dark, the four young men ran to the canteen, ate steamed buns and egg soup, and came to the river beach.
"Well, it's not bad." Qin Tao looked at his watch: "Let's start working now. First, move the scrap steel that was moved yesterday back to the original place."
When other workers arrived one after another, they saw four young men already working. They were very curious.
“Ma Laoliu, why are you so diligent today?”
“I, I am always very diligent.”
“Fuck you, but the prodigal son turned back, that’s good.”
After a day of hard work, the four of them felt like they were falling apart. They had no strength to go home, so they went to the cafeteria to eat, then ran to the office and slept for a night.
day after day.
Qin Tao spent most of the time supervising here. The four thieves were very tired for the first few days, but later on, they gradually regained their energy and worked harder and harder.
咣!
Four people carried a cut steel plate and threw it on the scrap steel pile. Qin Tao took out a box of cigarettes in his hand: "Here, take one for each person and rest for a while."
“No need, Brother Tao, we are full of strength and will continue to work.”
"You have been working for a long time, take one, take a break and then work again."
“Well, thank you, Brother Tao.”
“How are you feeling lately?” Qin Tao asked the four people as he watched them puffing away.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
“Very good, very good.”
What?
The four people opened their eyes wide.
“Brother Tao, what did my mother say?” Ma Laoliu asked cautiously.
"She is very happy." Qin Tao said: "Your family situation is not very good, so the old man left a hundred yuan for your mother, which is regarded as an advance salary."
One hundred dollars!
The average salary of urban workers across the country is only 175 yuan. Those who do odd jobs can earn 20 to 30 yuan a month, which is already very good. However, the shipyard sent his family a hundred yuan!
The cigarette in Ma Laoliu's mouth suddenly fell to the ground, and then he knelt down facing Qin Tao.
This time, I really mean it and I want to kowtow to him a few times.
“No, what are you doing?” Qin Tao said, “Isn’t this going to shorten my life?”
"Brother Tao, I, I." Ma Laoliu wiped his tears: "Actually, I have no choice but to come to the factory to steal scrap metal. It's almost the Chinese New Year and I have nothing at home. Now, I have nothing to say. , work hard here, Brother Tao, we will do whatever you ask us to do, I promise you won’t have a problem with it!”
"Relying on your own hard work and making money with both hands is the most practical thing." Qin Tao said: "Although I said at the beginning that you should work voluntarily, the old man disagreed, so as long as you work hard, by the end of the year Every time you work, you can get corresponding wages.”
The hearts of the other three people were also very hot.
“Zhao Laosi, the factory also uses your tractor, so you will make more money than them.” Qin Tao continued.
"Well, well, Brother Tao, even if we don't pay, that's what we should do. If we were sent in at that time, we would probably have to squat in there now, and the family wouldn't be able to hold their heads up." Zhao Laosi said: "We will remember your words and take the right path from now on."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Laosi stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette and put it behind his ear: "Let's go, let's get on with the work!"
"Taozi, from the beginning, you planned to pay them wages, right?" At some point, Cong Ju appeared next to Qin Tao. She watched the four young men leave and said to Qin Tao.
"That's for sure. I leave them here to work without paying them wages and restrict their freedom. Doesn't this become an organized illegal labor? We can't do anything illegal."
Qin Tao did this, of course, as a way to win people's hearts. He started to coax and scare them, especially when he said that the police station was also celebrating the New Year, which frightened these people and made them work honestly. Moreover, It was initially stated that the work was free and no wages were paid to them.
Once they have adapted to the life here and are not lazy at work, Qin Tao will tell them at the right time that they should get every penny of their wages. In this way, these people will definitely shed tears of gratitude.
Small means still need to be used.
"You have a maturity that is beyond your age." Cong Ju said: "It's like you have decades of life experience. I have seen many college students who come to the shipyard, but none of them are like you. Mature."
“If I said that I came from more than thirty years later, would you believe it?”
“I came to joke with you sister Cong Ju again, nothing serious. Let’s go over and take a look. The hull of the catamaran has been welded.” Cong Ju said.
“It’s so fast, Sister Cong Ju, it’s great to have you here.”
"Okay, stop flattering us. A small boat of several hundred tons doesn't take much effort. Master Zhao and his team have perfected their skills. After welding this catamaran, we can start work on that dredger." Cong Ju said.
In terms of age, Cong Ju is more than ten years older than Qin Tao. However, there is no generation gap between the two, and they talk and laugh when they communicate.
