Chapter 192: Things are easy to calculate, but relationships are hard to understand
It's rare to have two days off.
Xiaomian's parents didn't call them, and went to the eldest lady early in the morning to help graft the melon seedlings.
Ye Mo and the others slept until after ten o'clock, and they felt really comfortable.
The two of them had actually woken up long ago, but they both wanted to stay in bed.
During this period of time, Lin Xiaomian's skin has tanned a bit more, but her small face and delicate facial features... just her skin is a bit darker, which does not affect her appearance.
"Are you up?" Lin Xiaomian grabbed the big dishonest hand inside her pajamas and said angrily.
"You're up." Ye Mo smiled and kissed Lin Xiaomian.
Get up, wash your face, brush your teeth, change clothes...then go downstairs.
Lin Xiaomian went to cook.
Ye Mo took out a notebook to record work days and began to settle accounts.
Invite the villagers down the mountain to pick watermelons and clean the melon vines... The daily wage is 360 yuan.
The money has been settled clearly.
The rest is for the second uncle, third uncle, and Tang Xun.
Counting from the time when seedlings were raised in January... February, March... to now... one person per day counts as one working day.
The total of the four people in the second uncle's family is 271 construction days.
Sometimes he only worked for half a day, so Ye Mo counted it as a whole construction day. One construction day was counted as 400 yuan, 108,400 yuan, even 110,000 yuan.
The three members of the third uncle's family basically never miss a day, 219 construction days... 87,600 yuan, which is 90,000 yuan.
Tang Xun and his family have a working force of six, and one person has to take care of the child and take the child to and from school...but he will also bring the child to help, deliver hot water, do odd jobs, etc.
Ye Mo calculated 390 construction days for them, 156,000 yuan, and added some... 160,000 yuan.
And Mrs. Xiaomian, they don’t come here every day. Counting half a day as one day, the total is only 105 working days, 42,000 yuan... But when it comes to the speed of work, Mrs. Xiaomian and the others work fast.
The eldest lady, eldest uncle, and the others work at about the same speed as my father, second uncle, and third uncle... These people work more than two Tang Xuns alone. Ye Mo also joined in,
Put together a round number of 50,000 yuan.
When it comes to working, Tang Xun, Wang Yue... Zhang Xia... they are the soy sauce type.
There is no need to give money to my parents. They have no shortage of money... so they can buy dad a car.
"It's time to eat." Lin Xiaomian had already cooked the meal and set the table.
Ye Mo calculated the construction days and the money to be paid, and showed the account sheet to Lin Xiaomian: "Check and see if there are any problems."
Lin Xiaomian looked at it and saw that there was nothing wrong with the account. The wages offered were high, not low... If you hired someone to do the work, you wouldn't be able to spend so much money.
But when they started working, Ye Mo and the others didn't have much money on hand. The second uncle, the third uncle, and Tang Xun came to help, but they didn't ask for money at first. This is a favor...
"Just make up your own mind." Lin Xiaomian said.
Ye Mo also thought about giving everyone a red envelope, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate.
Work days are easy to calculate, but relationships are difficult to understand.
Giving red envelopes, it would be casual if everyone’s relationship was just average. But everyone’s relationship is very good...
"Mom and dad, do you want to calculate the money?" Ye Mo said after eating a piece of pork belly.
"You make up your own mind." Lin Xiaomian looked at him: "You are the head of the family."
"I'm talking about my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and your parents. Do you want them to count?" Ye Mo was very confused. This was not about money, but about human nature.
"Have you calculated the money for your parents, and Ye Ran."
"I don't think so. However, I plan to buy a car for my dad." Ye Mo said: "I heard them chatting before, and my dad really wants a car of his own."
Lin Xiaomian was also quite confused. Her parents had been working here for so long, but...
"How about you take care of the money?" Ye Mo said.
Lin Xiaomian shook her head vigorously: "Let's talk about it after we get married. You have so much money now, I don't dare..."
Just as he was talking, Xiaomian's parents came back on their bikes.
"Uncle, sissy." Ye Mo shouted.
"Dad, Mom."
"Are you having breakfast or lunch?" Xiaomian's mother asked.
"Breakfast." Lin Xiaomian smiled sheepishly and said, "Dad, Ye Mo has calculated his wages. He is wondering whether he should calculate your wages for you. Hehe..."
Ye Mo rolled his eyes at Lin Xiaomian.
Lin Shan smiled and walked over: "Why don't you leave it to us?"
"I can't figure it out clearly." Ye Mo smiled awkwardly.
"It's good that you know you can't figure it out." Lin Shan smiled and looked at his phone. He came over at eleven o'clock and went over to bring the rice.
"Uncle, I want to marry Xiaomian, and she agreed to it." Ye Mo said.
"Who promised you, why are you so thick-skinned?" Lin Xiaomian's face was full of coquettishness.
"Didn't you say before that you would wait until the new house was built before getting married?" Xiaomian's mother came over.
"Get the marriage certificate first, then have a banquet later," Ye Mo said.
Xiaomian's mother looked at Lin Xiaomian's belly: "So urgent? Are you ready?"
Lin Xiaomian glared at Ye Mo fiercely: "No. You really, just thought about it, it was just... that such a big thing as marriage comes out of your mouth, it is as simple as eating or drinking water."
Ye Mo smiled awkwardly: "Uncle, sis, you can ask for any amount of gift you want. I have the money."
Lin Shan and Yun Xiuzhi rolled their eyes at Ye Mo at the same time.
"I promise to be good to Lin Xiaomian..."
"You." Yun Xiuzhi smiled and said, "We don't like many betrothal gifts over there. Xiaomian's father and I only have a daughter. How much money we have, we won't give it to her in the future. When will we get the marriage certificate?"
You two can discuss when to hold a banquet."
"Determine an approximate time and tell us in advance so that we can be prepared." Lin Shan looked at Lin Xiaomian: "It's hard to raise a daughter, eh..."
Ye Mo chuckled.
Lin Xiaomian shrank her neck and secretly glanced at Ye Mo.
She also wanted to finalize the relationship earlier and get the marriage certificate earlier.
Ye Mo originally asked Lin Xiaomian to collect the money from selling watermelons, but Lin Xiaomian felt that the money was too much and did not dare. It was not hundreds of thousands, nor tens of thousands... but millions.
For an ordinary family, they may not see millions in a lifetime.
But if you get married, it will be different. You can handle him legitimately.
After filling their stomachs, Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian went straight to the rural credit cooperative in the town. They had made an appointment to withdraw money in advance...
When he came to the bank, Ye Mo withdrew 600,000 yuan. There were 60 bundles of new banknotes worth 10,000 yuan, filling a big bag.
"Why do you get so much?" Lin Xiaomian asked.
"Second uncle, third uncle, Tang Xun...your eldest lady...410,000. The remaining cash will be used to pay wages later..." Ye Mo said: "There is no cash at home."
There is still a lot of work ahead, and we have to hire people to do the work.
Many local villagers do not know how to use WeChat and Alipay...
"The other thing is that my parents have to express their feelings." Ye Mo said, "It's the same thing whether my parents want me or not. I can't just not express my feelings at all."
"Didn't you say you bought a car for your uncle?"
"I'm talking about your parents. I'm going to marry you. If your parents see that I don't do things well, they will regret it and don't agree to marry me..."
