On the afternoon when the workshop was on annual leave, Xu Yinyin had no time to spare. After lunch, she and Old Man Xu went over the year-end accounts of the shop for this month and the workshop for the next three months, as well as calculating all the income for this year.
The shop's business in winter is not as good as in spring and summer, but it has remained the same, with a net income of about one hundred taels every month. Divided into four parts, each room costs about twenty-five taels of silver.
As for the workshop, after these three months, due to the expansion of the goods purchased from Mr. Lin, the profit is not bad. After excluding all costs, there are still 456 taels left, which is divided into four parts, and each room gets 110 taels.
Fourteen taels.
Everyone in Lao Xu's family has returned to the village. Now they are gathered in the main hall of the main house. The money is divided one by one. Everyone is very happy.
In the past, the entire public school together did not have twenty taels of silver for the whole year. Now, each of their houses can easily come up with hundreds of taels of silver.
So when it comes to human life, there is no way to tell clearly. In the past, I never dared to think that one day, my old Xu family would be in such a situation.
Not to mention the happiness in Old Man Xu's heart, he slept with his mouth grinning for many late nights.
Looking at his children and grandchildren gathered together now, as soon as the New Year is over, four generations of the old Xu family will be living under one roof.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After escaping from famine, he was the only one left in his life. Now, his only Miaomiao finally made the old Xu family prosperous. His father, his grandfather, and his ancestors were all here.
Looking at it underground, I am afraid I am also pleased.
One by one, the old Xu family will be prosperous in the near future, right?
Sooner or later it will be able to compare with the great grandpa's time, when the whole hall gathered together, the grand scene of sixty or seventy people.
The old man Xu, who was in a happy mood, immediately took out the box he had prepared a long time ago, looked at the people behind him, and said with a smile: "Our workshop evaluated outstanding workers this morning and gave out rewards. I think we down here, in our own home, can also
Rewards should be given!”
"There is no chance of this reward being given away, I will pay it!" He waved his hand, happy!
Everyone below looks at me and I look at you, and you can see that their father/grandfather is very happy today. Look at how excited he is, and he even wants to give them money!
Mrs. Xu was also smiling at the side. Her husband had discussed this matter with her. The old couple had a lot of money in their hands this year, so they could just give it to their children and grandchildren.
Old Man Xu glanced at Xu Chunhe and said, "In the past year, the boss has been coming and going in the wind and rain. He has been delivering goods to the city without stopping every day, and then hauling the goods back to the village. It has been really hard. This
I’ll give the first reward to the boss!”
With that said, he waved to Xu Chunhe to come forward.
When Xu Chunhe heard that it was him, he smiled and rubbed the back of his head, "That's what I should be busy with!"
As he said this, he walked up to Old Man Xu after being greeted.
Old man Xu immediately took out two silver ingots from the box and handed them to him, "Our family will reward you with ten taels!"
"Thank you, dad!" Xu Chunhe took it with a smile, held the treasure in his hands and sat back down in his seat.
He and his wife looked at each other, but before they were happy enough, his father mentioned his wife's name again.
"Over the past year, the eldest daughter-in-law has also contributed a lot to the workshop. From the beginning of the recruitment of workers in the workshop, to those workers who came in who knew nothing, it was all thanks to your patient teaching that the workshop developed so quickly."
Ma was stunned and stood up embarrassedly, "Dad, how can you give it to me? Don't give it to me." In the next three months, she went to the city to take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law and helped her own shop take care of the business.
This reward is a shame.
Old Man Xu laughed: "Although you will not be in the workshop for the next two to three months, the hard work is all in the front. Dad will also give you a reward! Take it!"
Ma's eyes were red, and his nose was sore as he came up to take the money, "Thank you, dad."
She also didn't forget to look back and see the other people in the Xu family, mainly the second and third children. She was afraid that they would think that she was getting rewards even if she didn't work in the workshop all the time. "Everyone has worked hard too!"
Xu Chunlin, Zhou Shi and Xu Chunshan, Zhang Xiulan didn't have any idea at all. They only deserved ten taels of silver. What did they say?
Old Man Xu then looked at Mrs. Zhou again, "In the past year, the second daughter-in-law has also worked very hard. She gets up early every day to take people to buy groceries, and when she comes back, she manages the meals for the entire workshop. She never misses a meal, every day.
Dinner is served at the right time, and there is never any mistake, and there is no rest all year round, thank you for your hard work!"
With that said, he took out two silver ingots.
Ms. Zhou grinned, "That's what I should do, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it for all of us!"
The first one is Xu Chunhe, the second one is Ma family, and the third one is Zhou family. What next?
Everyone is curious.
Old Man Xu continued: "In the past year, there is another person who has worked hard and contributed to the workshop. It is obvious to all of us that she is Wuya!"
It’s Wuya!
Everyone laughed, yes, Wuya is a pretty good kid.
Under the friendly smiles of everyone, Wu Ya went to receive the money with a blushing face.
Finally, Old Man Xu looked at all the children and grandchildren again and said slowly: "Besides, there is another person who we must not forget for her hard work for the workshop and for all of us. It can be said that without her, there would be no Xu family.
The workshop, without our everything, is just a family. I won’t say more, but today’s reward, as a grandpa, I want to reward her with one hundred taels of silver. You don’t have any objections and you can’t think too much about it, right?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone knew who they were talking about, and couldn't help but look at Xu Yinyin who was sitting over there.
What do they think? The old man is absolutely right!
They won't think too much, what should they think about?
If the old man gave all his savings to only one house, how much more would other people think about it and complain!
In a big family, whether the elders are fair or unfair is the basis for harmony.
If the elder's bowl of water is fair, whether it is a son or a sister-in-law, there will be no chance of discord, and neither is a lunatic. You don't like me and I don't like you? They say it's not like a family doesn't belong to the same family.
, that cannot be done.
Fortunately, Old Man Xu and Mrs. Xu have always had a smooth bowl of water.
In the past, the three of me, the third child, and my family were eating well and being lazy every day. When everyone had something to eat, they were given less than half a bowl for each meal. Who told you not to work?
There is nothing to eat later, no one has enough to eat, and you are too lazy to go out and pull leaves and bark to find something to eat, so I might as well give you nothing to eat.
Otherwise, the last three were so hungry that they stole food from the house, ate all the leftover food, and even received a good beating.
Let’s talk about the previous support for Rokuro to study. That was because Rokuro was smart and a promising student. The family could only provide for one person. If there was hope, they were willing. The old man often asked Rokuro to remember it in front of everyone.
Uncles' kindness.
So they never felt dissatisfied.
Now that life is so prosperous, it's like a dream, and they have no reason to be dissatisfied with the uneven situation.
And the old man is really fair, look at this reward, there is no unruly hair, it is all from working in the workshop, that's why he likes Rokuro the most, didn't he not give him one?
Another thing, to be honest, even if the old man wants to give all his savings to Yin Yin, they have no objection at all.
Who is all this thanks to?
If it weren't for Yin Yin, how could they have changed so quickly? They might still go to the city every day for food and clothing, doing laundry here and working part-time there, earning such pitiful hard money that it is not enough to live on all year round.
How can I buy a house in the city, have savings, and build a new house in the village?
People, you have to remember well and be grateful.
If you forget the basics, you really are not a human being.
