Liu Shugen drank another glass of depressed wine, but thought of what Hong Fei told him before leaving, even if he wanted to explore the bottom of Sanfang, he would not dare.

Sanfang is now rich, but Hong Fei can give Liu Shugen the rights he dreams of.

As long as he becomes an official, will Mr. Ma be willing to help him? Isn’t it enough to earn as much money as he wants in the future?

"Snapped!"

The wine glass was placed heavily on the table, and Willow Roots walked out with weak steps. He had to find a place to sober up. He couldn't go home smelling of alcohol. He would not be able to tell anything in front of Mrs. Ma.

alright.

I had never had the opportunity to drink before, so Liu Shugen's drinking capacity was not good, and he was in a bad mood, but he became drunk after drinking two ounces of wine.

"Ah! Who is this person? His eyes..." Are you blind?

A mean female voice sounded, and Willow Tree staggered a few steps, clasping his fists to apologize.

But the next moment, the other party grabbed his hand, and the woman smiled and asked, "Are you the third brother of the Liu family?"

Liu Shugen raised his head and looked at the other person, feeling that he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"I am Honghua, Brother Liu, have you forgotten that you once saved me?"

Hong Hua held Willow Gen's arm with great enthusiasm. She had no intention of avoiding suspicion at all. She was half holding and half dragging her to a place where there were few people. Her eyes were full of calculations.

"safflower?"

Liu Shugen tried hard to recall, but his head was so dizzy that he couldn't remember this person at all. In other words, Liu Shugen's brain was not working well at the moment, and he was so drunk that he just wanted to sleep.

Opposite the restaurant, the young man from the Ma family who had been staring at Liu Shugen was holding the steamed buns he had just bought and eating. His eyes were still staring at the door of the restaurant. He only thought that Liu Shugen was still drunk, not knowing that he would be so drunk after he left.

After a while, Willow Roots had been carried away by other women.

Yangliu Village.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, so Liu Ya and Village Chief Liu discussed giving everyone a holiday in advance.

The countryside is also very busy during the Chinese New Year. Even families without money have to wash clothes and prepare food for the Chinese New Year. Women have their feet on the ground all day long.

And the Chinese New Year is a lively atmosphere, and there is no rush to work in the workshop. People who have a large family and are willing to work shifts can only be left to do the finishing work.

"How busy can you be with this? I have a vacation for more than half a month, and I still have to get paid. Isn't that great?"

Village Chief Liu frowned. This was the first time he had heard of such a holiday for workers.

Even for wealthy families, the most they can take is half a day off during the Chinese New Year. If they want to take more days off, their wages will be deducted.

"We set up a workshop in the village because we wanted to help the villagers live a better life. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to buy the people?"

Liu Ya smiled slightly, the vacation she gave was indeed long enough, but it was not without any restrictions.

"From the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the full calculation is from the small new year and the Chinese New Year to the fifth day of the first lunar month, as well as the fifteenth day, a total of eight days of real leave. At other times, you have to take shift leave, and you can only get the most basic salary.

Those who work get double wages."

"If the workshop is really busy, we will pay three times the wages for these eight days. If we really need to rush the work, we can only let everyone work hard for a while. After that, it will be up to us whether we want to get wages or make up for the rest."

In this era of imperfect employment systems, Liu Ya couldn't do it all in one step. After all, there was no professional social security department. Maybe he would have the opportunity to reform when Jin Beijiang took over the country.

When Village Chief Liu heard this, he immediately became interested and hurriedly discussed it with Liu Ya. Finally, he also put forward some opinions to ensure that Liu Ya's salary leave system would not encourage some people's hearts and that it could be implemented fairly and fairly for everyone.

On one person.

For example, determine the number of workers needed before the holiday, and how to select people to work. The selected people can switch to work if they have something to do, and they have to work overtime on a rotating basis every year, etc.

Wang Yun and Liu Ye have been listening quietly. They have long known what Liu Ya means. They also agree with this new way of employment. As long as the workers do not cheat, humane management methods are more effective.

Make people loyal.

Since today is the last day of work, after the discussion, not only must the salary plan be implemented, but the year-end bonus must also be distributed. This was Liu Ya's original promise.

Chief Liu of the village's workshop is the general manager, but Liu Ye is the accountant. Naturally, they worked together to complete this matter. Wang Yun only brought Liu Miao and Xing'er to help them, so that they could accumulate experience.

Liu Ya did not join in the fun and asked Yun Kai and others to go to each village and bring the same letter, but the matter of year-end bonus had to be left to Mayor Li, and it was also to show Mayor Li's face.

After arranging all these, Liu Ya thought that the servants at home would also be rewarded, and looking at the speed at which the matchmaker came to the door, there was no guarantee that Liu Ye would get engaged someday, and Xing'er's wedding date was probably set next year, so there was something else going on here.

Little things need to be prepared, but where does Liu Ya have the experience?

After going to Mrs. Zhou's house, Liu Ya took off her cotton-padded shoes and got on the kang as soon as she entered the house. She stretched out her little hands on the brazier to roast them. She sniffed and asked, "Grandma, are there potatoes buried in the pot?"

"You have such a good nose, I'll give you one in a while."

Mrs. Zhou replied with a smile, but she did not dare to get too close to the brazier, lest the ashes would cause asthma again.

Since moving into the third room, Mrs. Zhou has found that her health has become better and better, and her asthma, which relapses every winter, has not occurred again.

I didn't know that Liu Ya often poured Lingquan water into the water, but Mrs. Zhou just thought it was because she lived here and was in a good mood and in good health.

"Grandma loves me the most. She must have known that I was coming over, so she specially baked it for me. Thank you, grandma."

After making sure that there was no cold air on her body, Liu Ya moved closer to Mrs. Zhou, but still closer to the brazier.

It was cold in winter, and even though there was a fire dragon burning in the house, Liu Ya was not used to it because the clothes he wore were not thick enough and could freeze people to death the moment he went out.

"Look at this girl's sweet mouth. Hurry up and make her a cup of honey water. I want to see if she can be sweet enough to win over an old woman like me."

Mrs. Zhou's smile became even stronger, and she pointed at Xiyuan who was on duty in the room today and ordered, obviously she meant to tease Liu Ya.

After settling in the third room, Mrs. Zhou asked the two girls to take turns waiting in front of her. There were not as many rules as there were in the Zhou family. When they were in the house, they could sit and do some needlework.

After arguing with Mrs. Zhou for a few more times, Liu Ya finally revealed her intention softly.

At the end, he held Mrs. Zhou's hand with her warm hands and said coquettishly: "Grandma, please help me. I don't have any experience. Although Sanfang is not a famous country squire, he is now a wealthy family. I am afraid that he will be here."

If something big goes wrong, people will laugh at it later.”

"Xing'er may be the first sister in the family to get married. Even if she still lives in the countryside, she still has to follow the rules. Even if Mr. Qi becomes successful in the future, Xing'er will not be laughed at because of this matter.

"

As for Willow Ye's matter, we can prepare it secretly, but there is no rush.

Mrs. Zhou has quite a lot of experience in this aspect. After all, she has also married a daughter and has more experience than Mrs. Song.

"Young lady, you are asking the right person. When it comes to rules, there are not many people who know more about the rules than our old lady."

Xiyuan, who was poking the roasted potatoes with tongs, smiled and answered a sentence, but the movements of his hands were very light, fearing that the dust would be too much and make Mrs. Zhou uncomfortable.

Liu Ya nodded in agreement. Although she didn't know Mrs. Zhou's background, she could feel it in her behavior and demeanor.
