As soon as Laba is over, this year is really coming to an end as you can see.
The Zhou and Xu family's new house was rushed to this stall and was finally completed.
The new house can be fumigated with mugwort and decorated, and then it can be warmed and moved in.
Every brick and tile of the Xu family's house was built with the public's money, including the furniture. In other words, the Yangliu Lane shop's monthly income was not divided, so the money came out.
After the house is built and the furniture is set up, it’s up to each room to decide whether to place a large vase or a large wooden carving for the rest of the furnishings. They can arrange it however they want, and the public will not care.
.
The big room in the row after entering the gate is the kitchen. We don't usually live in the village, but we just get together for the New Year, so we can use the kitchen together, so it doesn't matter.
The three-bedroom house occupies the right side, with the three main rooms in the front, the main hall in the middle, and the bedrooms on both sides. Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan sleep in one room, Xu Dajun sleeps in one room, and there are three rooms in the backyard, with Xu Yinyin occupying one room. The other two rooms are also arranged.
Come back as usual, Xi Xin will follow you, and you will have to sleep in the same room.
Xu Yinyin was in the village, letting Xixin and Linglong look at the house and decorate it.
She is very busy. She has to calculate various accounts one by one at the end of the year, clear out the accounts that need to be cleared, and summarize the summaries that need to be summarized. In short, she is not idle all day long.
Old man Xu saw a good day and decided to hold a warm house wine on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month. The families in the village came to join in the fun. Zhou and others who had been living in other houses during this period also moved in and lived there.
Got a new home.
The Zhou family chose the next two days, had a lively banquet, and moved into their new house.
Other people in the village looked at it with enthusiasm and wanted to start building new houses immediately. However, the masonry team diverted to Wumapo to continue working on it. It was a big project and they would have to work on it for at least two months every year.
Several families who were impatient and couldn't wait couldn't help but contact other teams of masons to start construction in the new year.
Among the eight villages in Shili today, Xiaohe Village has the highest reputation. I wish I could all become a member of Xiaohe Village.
The slightest disturbance in Xiaohe Village can attract everyone's attention.
It is natural to build a new house.
In Qingshan Village and Dahe Village next door, almost every household has someone working in Xujiazhuang's workshop, and some have worked in Zhujiazhuang for almost a year, earning a lot of money.
Who doesn’t want to build a new house when they still live in a stone house?
Xiaohe Village has made a start, and the two villages are immediately on par with each other. The city's mason team has taken over their area's business and has queued it up to the second half of next year.
One can only imagine what big changes this village will see next year.
Not to mention, the movement of Wumapo can be seen from a distance on the official road. Even many people passing by in and out of the city can't help but ask what is going on here, such as building a house, etc.
If it's a big place, then you need to build a large manor, right?
The foundations are still being laid, and it’s hard to tell what exactly is going to be built. Many people are looking forward to it. When next year, be sure to remember to come and see what is going to be built here.
In a flash, it was the end of the year. Originally, wages were paid on the twenty-fifth day, but Xu Yinyin moved it back to the twenty-eighth day. The wages were paid together with the annual gifts. After the work was completed, the workshop went on holiday, and work did not start until the sixth day of the new year.
.
On the early morning of the 28th, there was a lot of excitement in Xiaohe Village. Everyone knew that today's workshops were on holiday and New Year's gifts would be given out. Many people from other villages who had nothing to do came to join in the fun and take a closer look at the Xu family.
A big scene where money and gifts are given out in the workshop.
Some of them have daughters-in-law working in workshops, and insider information knows that they will be given ten kilograms of rice to help their daughters-in-law carry the rice.
In short, people came all the way to the village, it was really spectacular. I didn’t know, I thought Xiaohe Village held a market to pick up new year’s goods.
The people in Xiaohe Village looked at them, and they were very hospitable. They called people to move stools to sit on, and poured water for them to drink. They couldn't help but say, "It's only morning, and we won't be paid until noon."
Come here so early, how long do you have to wait?
Everyone who came laughed: "It's okay, just talk and relax, it will be over soon!"
This is true, people from all villages gather together, talk endlessly, and have endless leisure time.
We have all heard about the next expansion of enrollment in Xujia Workshop. It will be on the fifth day of the first lunar month. You asked him if he would come, and he asked her if she would come. He said it passionately.
As we talked, we came to Wumapo.
"I heard that was also a workshop built by the Xu family?"
"It has something to do with the chili peppers, and what kind of hot pot ingredients are used in the Manjianghong hot pot in the city. I passed by there last time, and the smell was so fragrant that all the bugs in my stomach were tickled out."
"Look at the land. It's so big. How big of a workshop will be built? I wonder if we will be able to recruit people by then?"
"It's big, not small, so we should recruit people! When the construction is almost done, I guess the news will spread."
"That's good. If I don't catch up with you this time, I'll have to go for an interview when they recruit people."
Someone laughed at him, "They are all Xu family's workshops. If you were not selected here, it must be because you are not good enough. Can you be selected over there?"
The man said: "I'm not afraid that I can't be selected, but I'm afraid that there are too many people and I won't be able to get selected. You don't know how many people are looking forward to recruiting people for this Xu family workshop!"
"That's true!"
As we talked, time passed quickly. As soon as the time came, the work in the workshop came to an end. The workers began to clean up, collect what should be collected, and wipe what should be wiped.
Once everything is tidied up, the workshop will be locked.
Then, all the workers gathered in the large open space between the old workshop and the new workshop, waiting for the year-end meeting.
Yes, year-end meeting.
Didn't we say at the beginning of the workshop interview meeting that the Xu family workshop will give out year-end bonuses at the end of every year, and the five best workers will also be selected and given a separate outstanding reward.
Shi and other team leaders stood alone at the front of the team, followed by their team members.
At this moment, all the workers were extremely excited and stared straight ahead.
In front, rows of wooden boxes were used to build a podium higher than the platform. Next to the podium, there was a large long table with several chairs. Old man Xu was sitting in the middle, with Xu Yinyin on the right and Xu Yinyin on the left.
It's Old Man Zhou, the workshop manager.
Both sides of the open space were crowded with the families of the workshop workers and people from other villages who came to see the excitement. It was really strange to watch the battle.
The place was buzzing with chatter and discussion. It was so noisy that it was nothing compared to the market.
But as Old Man Xu stepped onto the podium, all the sounds below instantly stopped, and the people watching on both sides also stopped talking in unison. The whole place was silent, and the crow of the chickens from Chief Zou's house at the end of the village could be clearly heard.
As the big owner of the Xu family workshop, Old Man Xu is also the chairman of the board in future generations. He usually does not show up at the year-end meeting, so it is necessary for him to show up to preside over the meeting.
In the opening remarks, Old Man Xu first thanked the workers for their hard work over the past year. He spoke in an ups and downs tone. It sounded like both those who were workers in Xu's workshop and those who were not workers in Xu's workshop were very excited.
What could be more exciting than getting recognition from your employer after working hard for a year?
