Soon, Wang Yuanwai's acupuncture was over, 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.
Mrs. Li hugged Jiayin and ate alone with Mrs. Cui in the room.
Mr. Wang was sitting outside at the table, chatting with everyone while eating, feeling less constrained by the unfamiliarity.
When he said goodbye and went back to the city, the corner of his mouth never dropped.
When 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 was hot in summer, and gold was no longer suitable for wearing. The bright color of agate also matched the little girl's white and fat little arms...
Jiayin didn't know that she had gifts to receive again. After dinner, she started to panic in front of the villagers in the yard. .
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 they are aunts or uncles, almost everyone likes to pinch their faces and arms when they meet her.
She had just been "poisoned", and now she was hiding in her grandma's arms, refusing to leave.
The old lady was funny and angry, 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. He is so old and drooling. It is impossible to say that you pinched him."
All the villagers were like this. Laughing, "Who makes your fat girl so cute? She was born on the road to escape, but she was raised to be fatter than the rich family!"
Jiayi stepped forward and hugged his sister, let her ride on his neck, and then went to find Liu Yang Talk together.
Liu Yang was greedy and begged to hold the good news.
He is an only child, and what he envies most is that Jiayi has younger brothers and sisters.
Jiaxi Jiaan watched from a distance, as if she felt that her sister had been snatched away, so she ran forward to carry her in a sedan chair...
Suddenly the good news became delicious, and she was robbed here and there, which made her want to hear about the family. No matter how much money you share, it won't work.
The village chief and Li Laoer got together, calculated the general ledger, and discussed for a few words. Then they banged their pipes and pots and shouted to everyone, "Stop saying a few words, everyone, please be quiet."
The villagers immediately shut up and looked at them eagerly. The village chief and Li Laoer made the village chief laugh and scold, "I have never seen you so active on weekdays. When I talk about giving out money, you all come running."
The villagers shouted, "Village Chief, my family has no money, so we are just waiting to be given out. " We have money for shopping."
"That's right, this is the first time we've been paid, so we're so excited."
The village chief waved his hand, signaling for 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 then distribute food tomorrow."
He patted the work points book and added 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, we will calculate it according to five cents." People listened attentively, their little abacus ticking in their minds, and they were all calculating how many work points they would get and how much money they could get in exchange for it.
Li Laoer started to count every household, men, women, old people, and even children, all work points were counted, and finally he compiled a total.
Some families have a large population, hard-working people, and a lot of strong labor, so of course their work points are high.
Some families have a small population, so their scores will naturally be low.
When everyone heard this, they were 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, more people get high work points.
Li Lao Er has full work points, followed closely by Li Lao Si and Tao Hongying. Zhao Yuru and Li Lao San are both strong laborers. Jia Ren also worked for more than half a month before going to study. Jia Yi and Jia Huan all earn work points.
Even An Jiaxi works as a boy, and the old lady even brings good news to the fields to weed occasionally.
In addition, Uncle Zhao's work points were also transferred to the Li family, and the total points were a bit scary, more than two thousand points.
The rest of the best companies only scored a thousand points, which was 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 more people 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 the least was two and a half taels.
The Li family took the lion's share, 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 save this money for you. When I find good wood later, I'll give you some good longevity materials."
Uncle Zhao and the others quickly stopped, "No, we agreed at the beginning that we would eat and clothe ourselves at your house. , this money should be given to your family."
"Yes," the old lady said with a smile, "Give it to our family, I also made the decision, and keep it to buy good longevity materials."
The old men couldn't laugh or cry, and the village chief also advised, "You guys Just follow the arrangement. It's a good thing to prepare longevity materials early and keep them at home to keep the house in check. When the time comes, we will make them together and my wife and I will join in the fun."
Other old men in the village also asked about it. As they get older, they are more important after death. I want to live a few more years.
According to the rules passed down from the elders, longevity materials and shrouds should be prepared at home early and not used, so that you can 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 the business run by brother Liu Jiayi has timber. When I see him another day, I can help everyone ask."
The old men listened. They were even more happy, and they were all smiling.
Everyone chatted for a few more words and then dispersed. They were all busy going home and figuring out what to 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 join the new shop.
In the future, I will have a lot of steady business, and I will have more say at home, and slowly and subtly, I will prepare myself for a more comfortable life in the future.
But everyone in the family was there, so she couldn't do little tricks, so she kept pulling on the old lady's sleeves anxiously, "Milk, breast!"
The old lady was funny and patted her granddaughter, "Be honest, grandma knows what she knows."
Jiayin said Then he reluctantly calmed down and listened to the family members talking aggrievedly.
Tao Hongying couldn't bear to see her daughter like this, so she held her in her arms and coaxed her, "Mom will prepare delicious food for you tomorrow, just listen to grandma."
Mrs. Li patted the money bag and said to her family: "I have been here for the past few days. After thinking about it, it is indeed good to open a food shop next to the academy. But the more than ninety cars of silver are probably only enough for the rent. It is not enough to buy some tables, chairs, dishes, and some pocket money."
said After that, she clicked on the good news and said, "Fu Niu usually gets a lot of bits and pieces of silver from Mrs. Cui and Mr. Ye, but she has nothing to spend on them. I saved them all, about thirty taels in total.
"This time I put them all in the shop, and I can have some left at home, just in case. In this way, even if the shop invests 100 taels, Fu Niu will get 30 taels, and the family will get 70 taels. What do you think? "
Of course no one would object, they all said, "We listen to 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 her hand proudly. Her stinky little look made everyone laugh.
"Okay," Mrs. Li clapped her hands and motioned for everyone to look over, "Let's talk about how to divide the money in the future . , and you need to inquire about that shop carefully, I'm afraid there are some bad things to say, don't be fooled! "
