As soon as Zhou Yanqing finished speaking, Qiao Mingjin raised her eyes and looked at him.
There was a trace of unnaturalness on the man's face, but his eyes were clearly serious.
No joke?
Qiao Mingjin was stunned.
As if sensing Qiao Mingjin's doubts, the guy nodded to him twice.
Qiao Mingjin raised her eyebrows.
"reason?"
Zhou Yanqing felt that she was two ounces lighter, straightened her body, and said with a serious look on her face: "That's a lot of reasons."
Glancing at Qiao Mingjin, he quickly lowered his head and counted with his fingers: "Look, we can't just run this carving workshop by myself, right? Mr. Liu, I've been tired for a year, shouldn't it be you who have to suffer too?"
Return?"
Qiao Mingjin nodded.
Zhou Yanqing took a look and found that there was indeed a way. This woman just didn't want to owe favors. This trick was the most effective.
He said in one go: "How much business do you think our Zhou family has? It's all kinds of business. Every state capital and big city has our Zhou family's business. As for me, I'm just two direct brothers. The eldest brother is in the north, and the third brother wants to have an official career."
, several concubine brothers are also in charge of their own work, I can't just keep an eye on this workshop, right?"
"Don't you have Manager Zhou? Even if you manage half of Zhou's business, you won't see all your shops running. But it's just four o'clock and eight hours, and that's all."
Zhou Yanqing choked at Qiao Mingjin's words.
"How is this different? I'm usually busy. Besides, Manager Zhou...well, Manager Zhou is just a manager. Some orders, accounts, etc., it's better for both of us to know about them, right?"
"Then don't I want to die from exhaustion?"
"I can't make you exhausted. I just suggest that you move to the city to be closer to me. It will be convenient for us to negotiate things, manage accounts, receive and ship goods, check orders, everything is convenient. The day is getting hotter, and on the road
Running all the time is exhausting. Don’t you feel bad if you get sick from exhaustion?"
Qiao Mingjin glanced at him sideways and said nothing.
Zhou Yanqing knocked his head several times and thought quickly. He couldn't stay silent. He had to work hard. The more he fights, the braver he becomes, right?
He was excited and said: "Besides, aren't your two brothers studying in the city? Aren't they still living in other people's homes? I'm afraid they will be transferred to a college in the city in a few months? You don't want to be in the city?
Buy a house and live with them. Then take your parents back to take care of them?"
After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin also knocked on the armrest of the chair.
I'm afraid my parents and grandmother won't be willing to live in the city. It seems that my father and grandmother are reluctant to go out.
However, Mingjue and Mingheng will transfer to the academy in two or three months. It’s hard to live in Green Willow Villa anymore.
Which is better, letting them live in a college or buying a house in the city and hiring one or two bookboys to serve them?
Mingjue can study better by living at home, right?
Mingjue is different from Mingheng. This year he will concentrate on studying for the imperial examination. Mingheng has not yet reached that stage. The family is quiet and there are not many disturbances. He can also concentrate on studying, right?
Zhou Yanqing secretly looked at Qiao Mingjin. This woman seemed to care deeply about her natal family. She also cared deeply about her younger brothers and sisters. Her eldest brother was the eldest son, right? He must have brought the hope of the whole family.
"I'm already married. It would be nice to have some spare money to buy a house. I don't necessarily have to live in the city, right? Besides, who will manage this workshop?"
Zhou Yanqing didn't take it seriously: "Follow the rules. Who can make a mess? Besides, there's Manager Zhou and your cousin? Your cousin is very capable. If you give him some time, he can stand alone."
"
Qiao Mingjin glanced at him sideways and said nothing.
That guy has a lot of property in his hands. It's not like she only has one workshop with a steady flow of money.
Moreover, she had done this all by herself, and thanks to it, she was able to survive in this other world.
Zhou Yanqing glanced at her, swallowed, and knocked on the head again, and then cautiously said: "Besides, isn't the one-year period coming? You don't want to mess with them anymore, do you? That mother-in-law must have been there early
I'm looking forward to it. Don't you happen to be taking Wan'er to live in the city, so out of sight is out of mind?"
Qiao Mingjin was stunned.
One year period?
For some reason, Zhou Yanqing looked at Qiao Mingjin's dazed expression, and suddenly felt as if someone had pinched her heart, and she felt a dull pain.
This woman has always been gentle and indifferent. I have never seen her laugh or cry. Come to think of it, even if she cried, she would hide and weep silently in a corner where others can't see her, right?
She deserves a better man by her side.
Laugh with her, give her a shoulder and chest when she cries, or wipe away her tears so she can smile again.
When she laughs, she must be very beautiful. Just like the plum blossoms that are blooming alone despite the snow. They laugh on the branches, covered by the snow, but still have a faint fragrance. Shake off the thick snow on the branches.
, and can show his true colors.
I can only see you every day in the city. I wonder if you eat white rice every day or just a light snack to change your taste every now and then.
Zhou Yanqing did not say this.
It was impossible for him to say these words. Even he didn't know what he meant.
The stone cat was at the door of the hall, secretly looking at the two people from time to time.
Oh my god, why did his father decide to let Mrs. Qiao live in the city?
There is a workshop here and Mrs. Qiao's home. I am a cooperating party who came to inspect the affairs. I just asked Mrs. Qiao to entertain me for a meal.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can say anything.
But what happens when we get to the city?
Most of the people in Qingchuan City recognize his father. If you take a step outside the house, people will greet you non-stop. If you continue to eat at Madam Qiao's place every day, Madam Qiao will not be covered in saliva.
?
It doesn't work.
Besides, is that old lady in her family easy to talk to?
Madam Qiao was not kind to him. She followed me all the time and he ate the same food as me. Madam Qiao never treated him like a human being. She never forgot to give him a piece of delicious food if she brought it to me.
He can't harm Mrs. Qiao.
The poor stone was wandering around outside the hall, thinking of all kinds of things.
Zhou Yanqing, on the other hand, was thinking that he would make a decision for her, and he would rely on her to clear the air.
"You know. After the new year, my family added two more businesses, and more and more accounts were handed over to me. Even if I lose a few hours of sleep a day, I can't manage the accounts."
Qiao Mingjin listened to him and came back to her senses to look at him.
When Zhou Yanqing saw her looking over, he smiled, his eyebrows curved.
Then he said: "As early as when you were selling abacus chips in Qingchuan City, I saw that you were not only good at abacus, but also good at mental arithmetic. After this elegant art workshop opened, I was even more sure. You can check the account."
Ben's ability is above that of countless others. You can do all of it, including checking accounts, doing accounting, keeping accounts, making detailed accounts in the general ledger. There are not a few who are good at adding and subtracting abacus beads, but you seem to be good at multiplication and division as well.
It’s as good as addition and subtraction, and there’s no need to calculate. This can’t help but make people look at it.”
After Zhou Yanqing finished speaking, he looked at her carefully.
Can a scholar's father raise a female accountant?
Qiao Mingjin smiled secretly when she heard Zhou Yanqing's slightly admiring tone.
She has been studying for seven years and has been working for several years. How can she lose her food bowl? Even if you are old antiques, she can only reinvent the wheel.
Zhou Yanqing was fascinated as she watched the faint smile at the corner of the woman's mouth. The slightly upward curved corners of her mouth were pursed into a thin lip line. The shallow dimples were just right.
Confident and unassuming.
His heart was pounding like a boy.
He suppressed it with all his strength and finally recovered.
"How about you, take care of my accounts. At least let me live a few more years."
Zhou Yanqing used words to hide her unclear feelings.
"It's not that exaggerated, right? There are still a few accounting rooms in your house? I'm the one you need."
"It's bad. You are the only one missing. You can hold three or four accounts alone. If there are more people, it will take up space and look very annoying. The wages will never be less. I will definitely satisfy you. How about it?"
Seeing that Qiao Mingjin was a little moved, she raised her beautiful eyebrows happily: "I remember you said, 'No one complains about having less money,' right? 'A woman is better off with more money in her hands.' This is also what you said.
That’s right, right?”
"It's hard for you to remember."
"That's who I am." Zhou Yanqing looked proud, as if he had a chance to win.
Qiao Mingjin pondered.
That was indeed what she said.
She doesn't mind having less money. She has always felt that it is not a bad thing for women to have more money in their hands.
Nowadays, the masters in the workshop are becoming more and more mature, and the things they design are closer to people's needs today. Instead, she is more like an outsider. Now she only occasionally offers some new ideas for their reference.
The masters in the workshop also have strong self-discipline, and bonuses are allocated to them. Their work and ability are also linked to the income of the workshop. The masters do not need to be urged. They automatically enter the working state as soon as they open their eyes every day.
.
And she seemed to have nothing else to do every day except routine inspections and raising her daughter.
Such a leisurely rhythm is the rhythm of retirement in the previous life.
In her bones, she still has the fast pace of winding up under the pressure of the devil, right?
It's really not something I'm used to.
"If one person does the work of three people, you can't pay just one person, right?"
Qiao Mingjin tilted her head and joked to Zhou Yanqing opposite.
Zhou Yanqing laughed happily.
"Let's just say you are a money-grubber. If I had known better, I wouldn't have wasted so much time talking. I would have just mentioned this one item. Don't worry, how can I miss you? I don't want to be on the bench yet. Although you
This woman's cooking is only mediocre, and the tea she makes is not aesthetically pleasing at all, but Mr. Liu, I don't want to be deprived of a full meal."
After hearing these words, Qiao Mingjin also raised her lips.
It's really a bargain and it's so good.
She didn't know how the food she cooked tasted worse than the cooks in his house. But everyone who ate the food she cooked would lick the soup clean.
Wan'er, the little thing, was made fat and plump by her. The skill of making tea is not too bad, right? The beauty may be a little worse, but at what time is there less for him to drink?
Qiao Mingjin glanced at him sideways as she thought about it.
Zhou Yanqing was happy and didn't care about her.
"Whenever you move, I'll send someone to help. The house doesn't need to be too big, it just has a yard and a few rooms. If it's too big, I won't worry if you usually have a child alone."
Qiao Mingjin glanced at him: "Who said I want to move to the city?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
ps: I will work hard to pay off my debt this month...
