Chapter 72 Paying Salary

Yao Weijun was quite satisfied after looking at the construction of the entire yard.

Although it is more than 01:30 worse than the modern houses he saw in his previous life, in this era, after his simple design, it is much more spacious and comfortable to live in than the tube buildings in the county town.

"Okay! Thank you, brother Yao, for understanding my difficulties. You are the boss, and I will listen to you!"

Liu Sanshui was so happy that he quickly took out the cigarette and handed it over.

Yao Weijun smiled and declined. He and Liu Sanshui chatted in the yard for a while, and then walked to the threshing floor.

For more than a month, the elder sister-in-law and Chuntao have worked diligently to ensure the smooth progress of the roasted seeds and nuts business. Even since he left, the elder sister-in-law has taken Xiaohua and lived with Chuntao in the threshing floor to help guard the goods. .

Yao Weijun felt that it was time to settle their wages after a month had passed.

When he came out of the house, his work bag was always slung across his body, containing money.

When I arrived at the threshing floor, I saw Uncle Qixue packing the peanuts and melon seeds that had been spread out to cool down.

After saying hello, he entered the house.

Sister-in-law and Chuntao live here these days, and the house is kept very clean and tidy.

The quilt on the kang was neatly folded, and the table where meals and tea were originally placed was also covered with a piece of silk cloth printed with peonies. There was a teapot on the tea tray, and there were five tea bowls upside down around them. They were all very clean. clean.

"Guards!" At this time, a voice sounded at the door, and Chuntao walked in with a smile, "I thought someone else was coming when I heard the noise. My room is still a little busy. If it's not urgent, I'll talk to you later. !”

After saying that, she quickly picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, handed one cup to Yao Weijun, drank the other cup in several sips, and hurried to another room to work.

Yao Weijun took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, turned around and walked out of the room, waving to Li Qixue, "Uncle, don't be busy yet, come here and I have something to do with you."

"Hey!" Li Qixue is the cousin of the village party secretary Li Qiming. He is an honest person and doesn't talk much. When he saw that his boss was asking for something, he quickly put down the dustpan and pockets in his hands and walked over with a smile.

Yao Weijun took him to the dining tent.

The sun was about to set at this moment, and Aunt Qiuhe was called by Chuntao to help in the house. The stove in the dining room had already turned off the fire, and she did not continue to wash peanuts and melon seeds.

"Uncle, you have been working here for more than a month. How do you feel?"

Yao Weijun asked first with a smile.

"It's good, not too tired, hehe..."

Li Qixue took the cigarette with a slightly uneasy smile on his face, worried that his employer was looking for him because he didn't do his job well.

"That's good, Uncle Qi Xue, as you have seen, this is a delicate job. Especially when you are packing, try not to mix in impurities, otherwise it will seriously affect the trading market."

When Yao Weijun said this, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Of course, everyone is also very responsible. I see them all. Counting the days, uncle, you have been here for more than a month, right? Today I am with you Just settle your salary."

"..." After hearing what he said, Li Qixue's face suddenly showed a look of expectation and excitement. He rubbed his hands subconsciously and didn't know what to say. Facing Yao Weijun's eyes, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment. hair.

"As promised at the beginning, it's 20 yuan a month. Uncle, please give me some." Yao Weijun took out a large unity bill and two steel-making five-yuan bills from his work bag and handed them to Li Qixue.

The latter wiped his hand on his waist and took it with a happy face, feeling extremely excited and excited.

In this era, 20 yuan is no longer a small amount for villagers. Ordinary workers working in the city only earn 30 or [-] yuan a month. Li Qixue has lived for most of his life, and this is the first time he can earn so much in a month. , he couldn't help but be excited.

"Weijun, you are a good man. This money, this..." Li Qixue was so excited that he couldn't speak at all.

"This is not over yet!" Yao Weijun took over the conversation with a smile, took out another five yuan from his bag, and explained: "I said at the time that as long as you do a good job and make no mistakes in your work, you will get a bonus. These five dollars are considered as extra rewards from me for your excellent work, so take it."

"Hey, there's more!" Li Qixue couldn't believe it was true, and took the steelmaking ticket again almost doubtfully.

"Let's talk first. This is called a bonus. It is not included in the salary. It will only be paid every month if you do a good job. Uncle Qi Xue, you have to figure it out."

Yao Weijun specially reminded him to keep the money.

"Yeah! I understand! What about that? I'm going to get busy. I have to quickly put the remaining peanuts and melon seeds into the bag before the ground is damp!"

Li Qixue nodded enthusiastically, turned around and went out to work.

Yao Weijun didn't waste any time and called Aunt Qiuhe over. He also got to know her work attitude first, and then paid out a salary of 20 yuan and a bonus of [-] yuan in two installments.

"Guardian, Auntie 64 can't even imagine that I can earn such money in a month. Don't worry, as long as you don't chase Auntie away from now on, I will keep working for you!"

Aunt Qiuhe was also very excited, with moisture in her eyes happily, and she expressed her stance firmly.

Yao Weijun asked about her old man's situation with concern, and then motioned for her to call Chuntao.

"Hey, don't talk here. Let's go and talk in the house." Chuntao came to the door of the dining shed and motioned for Yao Weijun to follow her back to the house. "There is freshly brewed tea in the house. If you don't drink it, it will be wasted!"

Yao Weijun followed her into the house. As soon as he sat down, the latter took out half a pack of Phoenix cigarettes from somewhere and put it on the table in front of him. "Last time, your friend from the county town left us here. I'll put it away for you." Now, you shouldn’t get wet. By the way, are you still going back to the county town tonight?”

"I won't go back. This training is over." Yao Weijun took out a cigarette and lit it, and a faint fragrance suddenly floated in the room.

"Uh..." Chuntao was startled, then subconsciously glanced at the quilt on the kang, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Why is it so sudden? Come on, my sister-in-law and I will move the quilt home later and give it to you tonight. Tengdijieer..."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry. We'll move in tomorrow, or if you're used to it, you can just stay here. I can go home for a few nights and then I'll move directly to the new house in a few days."

Yao Weijun waved his hand and explained.

"That's great..." A complicated look appeared on Chuntao's face. It was unclear whether she was referring to Yao Weijun's arrangement as better or Yao Weijun's new house.

"Sister Chuntao, please sit down too. You've been helping me all day long. I should pay you this month's salary."

Yao Weijun motioned for her to sit down and began to open her work bag and take out the money.

Hearing this, Chuntao couldn't help but have a look of expectation on her face.
