Zhou's mother's letter was written in three pages, which was very long and detailed.

The letter talked about her and Zhou's father's life and current situation after they arrived in Xincheng, and after listening to Lu Qingfeng tell her story, the old couple didn't sleep in the middle of the night, got up and wrote this letter.

The letter said that he knew that she had done so many things, he was very proud and proud of her, and he also felt sorry for the hardships she had endured, so that she must take care of herself, and finally complained about why she let Lu Qingfeng bring back the money and jewelry, and nagged her that she should stay by her side for emergency.

There were many spots on the letterhead, which showed that the mother was in tears when she wrote the letter.

Zhou Niannian couldn't help but shed tears, which was warm and intimate.

The second letter was written by Zhou Changguo, the eldest brother of the Zhou family, who had a calm temperament, and the letter he wrote was like his person, short and powerful, saying that everything was fine in the construction corps, and let her take care of herself.

After reading the first two letters, Zhou Niannian finally opened Lu Qingfeng's letter.

Being able to stuff three letters in one envelope, Zhou Niannian guessed that it must have been Lu Qingfeng who went to the Construction Corps, told his eldest brother about his situation, and then brought back the letter written by his eldest brother.

Lu Qingfeng's letter was not long, just one page, writing that he had successfully returned to Xincheng, and he might have to go on a business trip to other places to promote their products after living for a few days.

Later, he told Zhou Niannian a few words of experience in selling products, and then told Zhou Niannian to be careful in everything, and the last sentence specifically mentioned that Zhou Niannian was not allowed to go out to eat with Yang Jiarui alone.

Zhou Niannian stared at the last sentence, crying and laughing, and couldn't help but pout, Lu Qingfeng didn't stare in front of her, she just went out to eat with Yang Jiarui, and he didn't know.

She took the letter back to her place of residence, found the stationery and prepared to reply to her family.

The letter to his parents and brother was quickly written, adhering to the principle of reporting good news and not bad news, Zhou Niannian only told a few interesting things in the factory.

Finally, when it was time to write a letter to Lu Qingfeng, Zhou Niannian picked up the pen and hesitated.

She didn't know what to write, remembering the picture that he had to call Brother Qing on the day he left, Zhou Niannian was a little embarrassed, so she simply rubbed the written beginning into a ball and discarded it.

After pondering for a long time, she didn't know what to write, so she simply gave up, opened the letter to her parents, and finally added a sentence asking her parents to convey her greetings to Lu Qingfeng.

Anyway, it won't be long before she estimates that she will be able to visit her parents in Xincheng, and then she will be able to meet.

Zhou Niannian made up his mind, sealed the envelope, and prepared to take it to the town tomorrow and mail it out.

The next day was December 25th, which was the day when Zhou Niannian and the county department store and the supply and marketing cooperatives agreed to settle the accounts, and the 25th was the day when the factory paid wages.

When she got up in the morning, she and Accountant Wang rode to the town, and when they arrived in the town, Zhou Niannian first sent the letter to the post office to send it, and then took a ride to the county with Accountant Wang.

They went to the county supply and marketing cooperatives first, the accounting director of the supply and marketing cooperatives was surnamed Liu, a middle-aged woman with a serious face, seeing them coming, she took out the account book and checked it with Zhou Niannian and Accountant Wang.

Since the opening of the meat processing factory, a total of 50 catties of ham sausages, 60 catties of bacon, and 40 catties of jerky have been sent to the supply and marketing cooperatives.

"Your ham sausages and bacon are selling well. Although Director Liu's face was serious, he spoke very gently, and seeing that Accountant Wang was reconciling the accounts, he whispered to Zhou Niannian: "You are the deputy director of Xiao Zhou, the little girl is good and capable." ”

Zhou Niannian smiled generously: "I will take care of you more in the future." ”

After reconciling the account, Director Liu happily gave them the money, and collected a total of 682 yuan.

After getting the money, the two of them went to the department store again, and the department store sold less, and received three hundred and thirty-four yuan, which added up to a total of one thousand and sixteen yuan.

Back in the factory, Meng Sanqiu was already standing at the door waiting for them, and when he saw them coming back, he hurriedly beckoned the two of them to go to his office.

"Calculate how much money we can make this month?" As soon as he entered the office, Meng Sanqiu couldn't wait to ask.

Accountant Wang went back to the office and took the salary account book he had calculated early in the morning, knocked on the abacus for a while, then took off his eyes, rubbed his forehead and sighed: "There are a total of 54 leaders and workers in our factory, and we have earned a total of 200 yuan after deducting 190 yuan of raw material money, 591 yuan of workers' wages, and then deducting taxes." ”

"How much did you earn?" Meng Sanqiu sat crookedly in his chair and smoked, and couldn't help but sit up straight when he heard the words.

"Two hundred yuan!" Accountant Wang repeated.

Speaking from the heart, they can earn 200 yuan a month, and they can earn more than 2,000 yuan a year, which is more than double the amount of money left by their entire production team, which is already considerable.

Remembering the note made by Zhou Niannian and Deputy Mayor Qi to earn a thousand yuan in three months, Meng Sanqiu couldn't help but take two puffs of cigarettes sullenly.

Earn two hundred a month, they only have a month and a half to go, and when it expires, they can earn more than five hundred yuan at most, and half of it is still half of a thousand yuan.

Meng Sanqiu finished smoking a dry cigarette, knocked the soot foam on the table, and then said in a dumb voice: "I don't want this month's salary, I can save a little bit." ”

Accountant Wang hesitated, "Then I don't want it either." ”

Zhou Niannian couldn't cry or laugh, "Uncle Captain, Accountant Wang, what are you doing here, don't you have confidence in me?"

Meng Sanqiu looked at her faintly: "Girl, there is only less than a month and a half." ”

I have to earn more than 800 yuan a month and a half, where is it so easy.

Zhou Niannian pursed his lips and smiled: "Uncle Captain, have you forgotten our long-term marketing strategy?"

How could Meng Sanqiu forget that this was said in front of the county magistrate, "Do you want to ......?"

Zhou Niannian nodded: "That's right, I plan to start the long-term marketing strategy in advance, and I will go to the county tomorrow to open a letter of introduction. ”

Meng Sanqiu smoked another dry cigarette sullenly, and then made up his mind and waved his hand to Accountant Wang: "Let everyone go to the accounting room to receive their salaries, I will discuss something with Xiao Zhou, and we are not allowed to tell outsiders about the amount of money we talked about just now." ”

Accountant Wang took the account book out of the office and found someone to inform the workers to come to work to collect their wages.

The workers had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and when they received the notice, they rushed to the accounting office one by one, and the workers in front of the queue almost jumped for joy when they received their wages.

Ordinary workers have a salary of ten yuan a month, in the past, they in the production team, they may not be able to earn enough ten yuan a year, but now they can earn so much in a month, how can they not make people excited and happy.

The workers who received the money couldn't wait to get off work with the money, thinking about using the money to buy something good for the mother-in-law and children at home.

The whole factory was in a boiling atmosphere, and the happy atmosphere even spread to the entire Mengjiang brigade.

Xing Dehai was the last to go in to receive his salary, and he was not in a hurry to ask for his salary after entering, so he sat down in front of Accountant Wang and asked, "Old Wang, are the accounts all settled, right?"
