Chapter 205: It’s easy to work when there are many people!
Soon, Wang Yuanwai’s acupuncture session ended, and meals were sent back from the other side of the valley.
The village chief and the old men also ate at Li's house, so they shared a table together.
Old Mrs. Li hugged the good news and ate alone with Mrs. Cui in the room.
The king was sitting outside at the table, chatting with everyone while eating, and he felt less restrained by the unfamiliarity.
When he said goodbye and went back to the city, the corners of his mouth were raised and never fell down.
While passing by the shopping street, he thought of the cute fat girl from the Li family, so he went into a silver shop and bought a pair of small agate bracelets.
It’s hot in summer, and gold is no longer suitable for wearing. The bright color of agate also matches the little girl’s white and fat little arms...
Jiayin didn’t know that she had another gift to receive. After dinner, she started to panic in front of the villagers in the courtyard.
I don’t know who leaked the news. Everyone in the village knew that they needed to pay for work, and they all gathered together after dinner.
Whether it's the aunt or the uncle, almost everyone likes to pinch their cheeks and arms when they meet her.
She had just been "poisoned", and now she was hiding in her grandma's arms and refused to leave.
The old lady was funny and annoyed, and scolded the villagers, "Everyone, please don't pinch my Fu Niu from now on. This child is as scared as a rabbit by you. She is so old and drooling. I can't say it was you who pinched her."
The villagers all laughed, "Who makes your fat girl so cute? She was born on the road to escape from the desert, but she was raised to be fatter than those from rich families!"
Jiayi stepped forward and hugged his sister, letting her ride on his neck, and then went to talk to Liu Yang.
Liu Yang was greedy and begged to hold the good news.
He is an only child, and what he envies most is that he has younger brothers and sisters.
Jiaxi Jiaan watched from a distance, as if she thought her sister had been snatched away, so she ran forward to carry her in a sedan chair...
For a time, the good news became a popular item, and she was robbed and robbed, which made her even want to know how much money was divided among the family.
The village chief and Li Laoer got together, calculated the general accounts, and discussed for a few words. Then they banged their pipes and pots and shouted to everyone, "Don't say a few words, everyone, please be quiet."
The villagers immediately shut up and looked at the village chief and Li Laoer eagerly, causing the village chief to laugh and scold, "I don't see you being so active on weekdays. When I talk about giving out money, you all come running."
The villagers shouted, "Village Chief, my family has no more vegetable oil, and we are just waiting for money to buy it."
“That’s right, this is the first time we’ve paid wages. I’m so excited.”
The village chief waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet again.
Li Laoer then said, "This month, our book with principal and interest is about one thousand taels, and we have also collected a lot of food. We will pay wages tonight and distribute the food tomorrow."
He patted the work point book and said, "I have discussed it with the village chief. Although it is not the end of the year and there is no unified accounting yet, I don't know how much one work point is, but it must be more than five cents. So this time Calculate according to the five laws.”
The villagers listened attentively, and their little abacus was rattling in their minds. They were all calculating how many work points they would receive and how much wages they could exchange for.
Li Laoer started to count every household, men, women, old people, and even children, all work points were counted, and finally a total was added up.
Some families have a large population, hard-working people, and a lot of strong labor, so of course the work points will be high.
Some families have a small population, so their scores will naturally be low.
Everyone was envious for a while and sighed for a while.
Of course, the most dazzling family in the village is always the Li family. With a large population, there are more people with high work points.
Li Laoer earned full work points, followed closely by Li Laosi and Tao Hongying. Zhao Yuru and Li Laosan were both strong laborers. Jiaren also worked for more than half a month before going to school, and both the family and the family earned work points.
Even Jia An Jiaxi works as a boy. The old lady even brings good news and occasionally goes to the fields to weed.
Including the work points of Uncle Zhao and several other people who have also been transferred to the Li family, the total points are a bit scary, more than two thousand points. The best remaining score is only a thousand points, which is more than twice the difference.
At this time, every family began to regret why they did not have more children.
The more people there are, the easier it is to work, and the easier it is to work, the easier it is to distribute money.
Soon, Li Laoer opened the silver box and began to exchange work points into silver for everyone.
Some people exchanged five taels, some three or four taels, and at least two and a half taels.
The Li family accounts for the majority, more than a hundred taels.
In front of the villagers, Mrs. Li divided the portions among the old men. She gave them scraps of copper coins as pocket money and put the rest in bags.
“Brother, I’ll keep this money for you, and when I find good wood, I’ll give you some good longevity wood.”
Uncle Zhao and the others hurriedly stopped him, "No, we agreed at the beginning that we would eat and clothe ourselves at your house, so this money should be given to your house."
“Yes,” the old lady said with a smile, “Give it to our family, and I have the final say. We will save it to buy good longevity materials.”
The old men couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this, and the village chief also advised, "Just follow the arrangement. It's a good thing to harvest the material for your birthday early, and keep it at home while you're at it. We'll make it together when the time comes, and my wife and I will join in the fun."
Other old men in the village also asked about it. As they got older, they paid more attention to their family affairs and wanted to live a few more years.
The rules passed down from the elders say that only by preparing longevity materials and shrouds at home well in advance, and not using them, can you live a hundred years safely.
Mrs. Cui had been sitting next to Mrs. Li listening to the excitement, and now she said: "It seems that there is timber in the business run by the Liu family's sworn brother. When I see him another day, I can help everyone ask."
The old men were even more happy when they heard this, and they all smiled happily.
Everyone chatted for a few more words and then dispersed. They were all busy going home and figuring out what they would buy with the money.
The Li family finally calmed down, and Mrs. Li also gathered her children and grandchildren to talk about the use of the money.
Jiayin was very anxious. She still had a lot of silver coins in her room, so she planned to visit the new shop.
In the future, I will have more say in the business that will continue to flow smoothly at home, slowly and subtly, and prepare myself for a more comfortable life in the future.
But the family members were all there, so she couldn't make small moves, so she kept pulling on the old lady's sleeves anxiously, "Milk, breast!"
The old lady was so funny that she patted her granddaughter and said, "Be honest, grandma knows what she is doing."
Jiayin finally calmed down and listened aggrievedly to the family members.
Tao Hongying couldn't bear to see her daughter like this, so she hugged her and coaxed her, "Mom will prepare delicious food for you tomorrow. Just listen to grandma."
Mrs. Li patted her money bag and said to her family: "I have been thinking about it for the past few days and it would be really good to open a food shop next to the academy. But the money for more than ninety cars is probably just enough for the rent. I can buy some more." Tables, chairs, dishes, and some pocket money are not enough.”
After saying that, she nodded and said, "Fu Niu got a lot of scattered silver from Mrs. Cui and Mr. Ye, but she had nothing to spend on it, so I saved it all, about thirty taels in total.
“I invested everything in the shop this time, so that my family can have some leftover, just in case. In this way, even if the shop invests one hundred taels, Fu Niu will get thirty taels, and the family will get seventy taels. What do you think?”
Of course no one would object, they all said, "We listen to our mother."
Zhao Yuru touched Jiayin’s braid and said with a smile, “It turns out that the richest girl in our family is Fu Niu.”
Jiayin immediately raised the gold bracelet on his hand proudly, and his stinking little look made everyone laugh.
"Okay," Old Mrs. Li clapped her hands and motioned for everyone to look over, "Let's talk about how to divide the money in the future. We also need to inquire about the shop carefully. I'm afraid there are some bad words, so don't be fooled!"
