The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 134: Disclosure of Account Books
Seeing the doubtful expressions in everyone's eyes, Bai Meixi continued to express her opinion: "Although carpenters are popular now, it does not mean that they will be popular in the future. Nowadays, many more open cities have introduced mechanical equipment. Many things are basically no longer labor-intensive. I think that in the future, woodworking will definitely be replaced by machinery. However, building a house can never be replaced by machinery, and manpower will never be indispensable. , so being a bricklayer will not be eliminated.”

Bai Meixi knows that although there will be help from cranes and excavators on construction sites in the future, these will never be without the help of humans. Every brick and tile is built layer by layer with human hands. of.

Cheng's father listened to Bai Meixi's words, which made sense. In the end, the whole family discussed it together again, and the decision-making power was still left in the hands of Lao Liu.

Cheng Tiezhu also felt that what the third sister-in-law said was reasonable, and finally decided to follow Bai Meixi's opinion.

The matter about Cheng Tiezhu's academic skills has been settled, so there is nothing more to say.

The second sister-in-law was originally unwilling to join in the fun, but now she saw that Bai Meixi had just said a few simple words and attracted everyone to listen to her opinions. It was as if at this moment, Bai Meixi had established the foundation for her future. The location of this home makes me feel very uncomfortable.

While the whole family was there, Bai Meixi took out the notebook from her pocket that she had not yet had time to go back and put down, and put it on the table.He said to everyone:

"Now that everyone is here and Lao Liu's matter has been settled, I will take this opportunity to sort out our family's accounts."

Bai Meixi said, turned to look at Cheng Haiyi and said, "Go and get our bankbook."

Cheng Haiyi quickly got up and went back to his house to get his bankbook.Not to mention, this Bai Meixi really looked like a housewife. Sitting on the bed, Chengmu looked at the scene in front of her, feeling quite satisfied.She believes that under the leadership of Bai Meixi, the family will definitely get better and better in the future.

I originally thought that she would give up the burden of the family now, but no one can support her. The eldest brother is illiterate, and the second brother is not worried.It's good now, there's a third child coming out, who looks pretty decent.

While talking, Cheng Haiyi had already brought the bankbook.Bai Meixi spread the bankbook on the table and said to everyone: "Excluding the money to buy medicine for mom, there is still 120 yuan in the bankbook, which is the entire income. This time we came back and went to the mine to take a look. Those comrades with whom I had a good relationship bought two ledgers from the canteen at the mine, which cost a total of [-] cents."

As Bai Meixi spoke, she clearly wrote the 120 yuan and the [-] cents used to buy the ledger in the ledger, and the income or expenses were also clearly marked.

"I have recorded it in the account book now. In the future, every income and expenditure of the family will be clearly recorded in this account book. Please supervise and correct me." After Bai Meixi finished writing, she pushed the account book to the table. , let everyone see clearly.

Cheng's mother leaned forward, took out a stack of money from the drawer of the bedside cabinet, and said to Bai Meixi: "My third daughter-in-law, here are 26 yuan and [-] cents. They are the remaining accounts from when I was the housekeeper. A lot of them are here."

Bai Meixi looked at Cheng's mother and said, "Mom, keep this money! You can buy some food to replenish your health later."

When Cheng's mother heard Bai Meixi's words, she felt moved in her heart.The more she said this, the less able she was to do so, and said to Bai Meixi: "We can't keep this, it is the expense of our whole family. Besides, the money for my medicine is all paid for by you two. I can’t do things like this.”

Bai Meixi saw Cheng's mother insisting, and Cheng Haiyi persuaded her: "Just take it if mom tells you to take it!" Therefore, Bai Meixi did not continue the stalemate, stood up, and walked to Cheng Haiyi. In front of her mother, she smiled slightly and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey." After taking the money, she sat back at the table, took a pen, and wrote down the 26 yuan and thirty-five cents in the account. Then show it to everyone again.

Bai Meixi cleared her throat and said to everyone: "Hai Yi is in the army and gets a monthly allowance of 90 yuan. He is a grown man and an adult, so he will inevitably have some affairs. . So, I will set aside 20 yuan for him from the allowance every month for his personal consumption, and the remaining 70 yuan will be put into the public account, and I will remember it clearly."

Cheng's mother also agreed with Bai Meixi's approach.The person who makes the most money in the family is Cheng Haiyi. Bai Meixi only left 20 yuan and gave it all to the family. This is also a kind of selfless spirit.Not to mention others, at least Cheng's mother quite agreed with Bai Meixi's approach.

"A man's house still costs 20 yuan a month?" The second sister-in-law was a little dissatisfied. In fact, she had always been dissatisfied in her heart. She couldn't help it, so she spoke out.

Bai Meixi sneered, but finally slowed down and said to the second sister-in-law: "Second sister-in-law, if you are dissatisfied, you can take care of this account. Will all the money earned by the eldest brother be handed over to the family? ? What's more, Hai Yi leaves 20 yuan every month, which has never changed. I just made it clear in front of everyone today."

When the second sister-in-law saw that Bai Meixi was pointing the finger at herself, she quickly stopped talking for fear that the burden would fall on her.

Cheng's mother rolled her eyes helplessly and said to Bai Meixi: "I support Xiaomei's approach. How can you understand what happened to the third child in the army? Logically speaking, the third daughter-in-law should leave 20 yuan. What's more, she is devoted to us all and thinks about us all."

When Cheng Mu spoke, everyone also stopped talking.

Bai Meixi felt very relieved to see her mother-in-law completely siding with her.She said to everyone: "I will clearly record every expenditure in the future in the account book. At the end of the month, we will all get together to reconcile the account book."

"Why is it so troublesome!" Sister-in-law said helplessly: "Do you still need to check the account book? It doesn't have to be so troublesome, right? We all believe in you."

My sister-in-law is illiterate, so she is unwilling to do these troublesome things.

Bai Meixi responded with a smile: "It is still necessary to check the account books. Although it is a bit troublesome, if everyone works together to supervise and make corrections, there will be no misunderstandings in the future? We have many families, and when the time comes, something unpleasant will happen because of the accounts. , it’s not good if you argue.”

The elder sister-in-law was a little worried when she heard about the accounts. When she was in trouble, the mother-in-law said again: "Just listen to the third daughter-in-law. The third daughter-in-law is very considerate."

Adult mothers are also used to being the head of the family.She is the elder of the family, and she has made some mistakes, and the children can't say anything about it.But Bai Meixi's position is different. She will consider it so carefully, and the mother-in-law is also very pleased.

No one said anything more. The matter about the housekeeper is now settled...
