The afterglow of the setting sun spreads all over the countryside. The mountains in the distance are golden. The breath of autumn is getting stronger and stronger. The ears of rice in the paddy field are bending. A breeze blows, bringing a burst of rice waves.
After the Mid Autumn Festival, there will be a bumper harvest of grain in the field.
From time to time, the workers in the workshop looked outside the hospital, waiting for Zhang Man'er to come back.
Today, many moon cakes have been shipped away, and the work of baking moon cakes has come to an end. I don't know if the owner will really pay today. Many people are not sure whether they will get a double monthly salary. Only when the silver is given to them can they feel real.
At this meeting, I don't know who yelled: "the owner is back."
Zhang Man'er and Xue Chuan appeared together, which undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing that Zhang Man'er didn't say a word and clapped his hands repeatedly, the villagers in the workshop knew that the owner was going to announce something important, and they all consciously lined up in several teams.
After the procession was arranged in order, Zhang Man'er stood up with his hands on his shoulders. His slender figure was a bit of a deterrent. He slowly said, "you've been working hard for a long time. Today's Mid Autumn Festival, I'll pay you double the monthly salary. Some of you do well, and you'll get extra rewards and a mid autumn festival gift."
After these words fell, it was like the calm water of the lake rippling, and everyone's face was faintly excited.
After a month's hard work, I finally got my income. The first time I got the money, everyone looked forward to it in varying degrees.
Some people couldn't restrain their inner excitement and asked: "master, it's really double monthly salary. Don't we have more than half of the silver?"
"No, it's more than the men in the family." A village woman said with a smile on her face.
One or two and a half silver, which is several times higher than the salary in the town.
Working in a workshop in this village, I earn more money than the men in my family. This is something that many women dare not think about.
In their whispering, Zhang Man'er signals that Xue Chuan and Zhang Dahai will have their wages, moon cakes and pork ready.
Soon a few baskets appeared on the field, which were filled with heavy mid autumn festival gifts.
"Well, everyone, just be quiet. After Aunt Wang's name comes to me and gets the monthly salary and Mid Autumn Festival gift, you can go home and have a reunion." Zhang Man'er happily said that in Aunt Wang's loud voice, she paid everyone's wages.
The long-term workers in the workshop each received nearly two liang of silver, ten moon cakes and five Jin of pork.
The girls who worked for a few days got half a liang of silver, ten moon cakes and two Jin of pork.
Rich monthly salary and extra Mid Autumn Festival gift make everyone leave happily.
The smile of the village women has never stopped.
Finally, Yang Kexin is the one who leads the money. When Zhang Man'er solemnly gives her a bag of broken silver.
She opened it and counted it a little. How much silver is there?
Quite a lot. No wonder I feel heavy just after I weigh it in my hand.
"Third sister-in-law, how can there be so many?" Yang Kexin questions, and she knows that Xue Yang's carpentry money is included in it. She has worked with her for five days.
But how to calculate also can't have so many?
"Here you are. Your silver is half Liang, and the rest belongs to Xue Yang." Zhang Man'er put ten moon cakes and two catties of pork in the basket and put them in her hand. She didn't give her a chance to say more: "hurry back, my family must be waiting for dinner."
I'll be late. I have to eat leftovers.
Yang Kexin refused, but he said thank you and left with the basket.
Before she arrived at Xue's house, she saw Tian's coming to pick her up. Without waiting for Yang Kexin to say anything, she grabbed the basket in her hand, carried it in her hand and went home happily.
Tonight's Xue family did not eat in the hall, but moved the round table to the yard.
If you look carefully, the neighbors around here are also sitting in the yard with tables to eat.
The round wooden table is full of steaming food. The smell of food goes straight into people's nose. There are fish, meat, big bone soup, steamed eggs, green vegetables and so on.
At first glance, there are seven or eight dishes, which are really rich.
Mid Autumn Festival, reunion day, Xue family also rare luxury once.
Half an hour later, after the family had enough to eat and drink.
Tian couldn't wait to pick up the vegetable basket Yang Kexin took home. He opened the blue cloth and saw that there were two cans of moon cakes and two catties of pork.
It seems that this is the Mid Autumn Festival gift from Sanfang.
On the Mid Autumn Festival, how can we be successful without mooncakes? Tian has tasted the mooncakes in Xueji's workshop twice. Now I see them, and I really miss the taste.
Open the oil paper package, the smell of crisp fragrance wafts out.
But only ten mooncakes, eight Xue family a point, everyone can only eat one moon cake, it is really not enjoyable.
Moon cakes with various tastes are crispy and fragrant.
Xue Baodan's mouth was full of food, and he kept shouting that it was delicious.
Although the child is only six years old, this small stomach can hold a lot of food. After eating so much meat, fish and rice for dinner, now it's easy to eat a moon cake. It's not enough. I'll have another one.
Tian originally wanted to eat another one. Seeing that Xue Baodan loved it, he could only give him one more. His mouth sipped, and he even licked the foam on his lips.
Looking at Yang Kexin, who chewed slowly and ate pretty, he said, "Kexin, is there only ten moon cakes? It's too stingy for you to go to the third house and get some more, isn't it? After earning so much money, I couldn't be more generous to my family. Today, I saw that their workshop produced several carriages of moon cakes, which was a huge sum of money. Do you know how much they earned? "
Yang Kexin is eating moon cakes, suddenly heard Tian asked, scared she almost choked.
Or Xue Yang quickly handed over a bowl of water, she quickly drank a few mouthfuls, this just shun a mouthful of airway“ Mother in law, I'm just a part-time worker. I've worked in the workshop for four or five days. How can I know? There are a lot of goods for a few carriages, but Sanfang also invests a lot of money. It's necessary to pay for the purchase of food materials, the monthly salary paid to the workers, and the welfare. "
This old fourth daughter-in-law is really brainless. Tian's face is not very good-looking, and Li Chunxiang is clever. If she is allowed to go into the workshop for a few days, she will be able to inquire clearly, and maybe she will come back with some things.
"Well, I'm too lazy to tell you this. I don't have a wink. Now go quickly and bring some moon cakes. I said you are really, at that time to give you such a little moon cake, why don't you say a word? There are so many people in my family. How can I eat such a little moon cake? " Tian's mouth grumbled.
