Chapter 6 Something Happened
Probably because these two laughed too heartily, Shao Manchu had a kind of anger that was not trusted, and he wrinkled his brows and refuted his plan a few words: "I'm not dreaming. ”
"You see, that's what I wanted...... A way to save a small amount of money. ”
After speaking, Shao Manchu twisted the last layer of paper in the wrapper, stuffed the empty muslin into his arms, handed the list that looked like the first family account office to the hands of the chief steward, and gave the two of them a detailed explanation.
"This is the employment contract signed by my father last year, and this contract says that the first family needs some short-term workers. ”
"At that time, because my father had a good carpentry job, he came to rely on the work of the first family. ”
"The above days were signed for three years, and it was specially written that the previous day was short-lived, and two meals and thirty copper yuan were given. ”
It's a pity that he only worked for half a year before he got seriously ill and died.
According to the principle of repayment by my father and son, I still have to continue the remaining two and a half years of work here at the owner's house. ”
"So in the past two and a half years, I can not only get the blessing of my first family, but also save daily meals and earn a little pocket money by the way. ”
"Think about it again, there are still remnants of old clothes at home, and the house has just been built, so can't all the surplus money be saved, and there is no consumption at all?"
"Even if there is only 30% of the output left in the field, I can save five yuan. ”
"When the time comes, use this money to make a small business, and redeem my family's land with the profits earned from the transaction, and in the end, the family's property will be complete, and I will become a successful person!"
This future is too good, so that Shao Manho's voice is high-pitched.
Hearing this, the first master smiled knowingly, pointed at Shao Manchu and said, "Why don't I listen to this like repaying the favor, but using this signboard of the first family to make a fortune for my family?"
"I'm afraid I've lost my eyes, so let's take back the previous words, where is your kid honest and honest, you are clearly a natural shrewd person. ”
"It's done, it's done, I've accepted your kindness. ”
"The good reputation of the first family is not something that is exchanged for hypocrisy. I can still do it if I only bless you as a child. ”
Just when the first master felt that his curiosity had been satisfied, and this meeting could be stopped, Shao Manchu, who had just stood up in the center of the hall, ...... Plop it on...... He knelt down again.
'Bang bang bang!'
When the other party didn't wake up, Shao Manchu kowtowed three more times.
What's going on?
Even the chief steward beside him didn't know whether to help or not.
The two of them were shocked, but the young man said solemnly: "Master Chu, I don't know what a shrewd person should be. ”
"But these things are all things that I have been thinking about since my father and mother left. ”
"I really want to repay the favor of the first master. ”
"Nowadays, no matter how much you say, it's like putting gold on your face. ”
"Master Chu, look back!"
"I want to repay your kindness with my whole life, and when the time comes, you will know whether I am true or false. ”
This is said very seriously, but with his age, it looks a little ridiculous.
made the first master cry and laugh, coughed twice, and quickly asked the chief steward to pull up this boy with some shafts, and end this conversation You can't convince me, and I can't convince you.
"In that case, go back and rest. ”
"These bills went into my first family's account. ”
"As for what you said about coming to my first house to do a part-time job......"
"This is the New Year, and our first family is not the kind of harsh main family, even the long-term workers who have been stationed outside the hospital for a long time, and they are also going to be sent home for the New Year. ”
"If you have the heart, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you will come to the outer courtyard to report. ”
"At that time, needless to say, take the slip that the bookkeeper gave you, and go to the steward. ”
"Now, go back quickly, our first family...... You don't want workers who can't work but just eat. ”
Shao Manchu, who said this, subconsciously looked at his emaciated body, pulled the corners of his clothes in some confusion, got up from the ground, and retreated from the inner hall of the Chu family with his hands and feet.
The chief steward, who had left with him, only sent him to the door of the outer hall, and a middle-aged man who looked a little younger greeted him.
The two of them understood the handover of words in three or two sentences, and the Shao family's man hoard was taken to the back of the corridor on the other side by the newly taken over steward.
There was a slippery door behind the porch, close next to each other.
The doors of each room are ajar.
Shao Manchu, who was taken forward by the steward, stood in front of a room, and when he looked inside, he saw that there was a case table that was longer than an ordinary case.
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk are complete, and a thick abacus is placed in the room.
On the other side of the abacus, there was a stack of red envelopes, and behind the desk, there was a row of stools, the kind without the back of the chair.
On top of the stool sat a gentleman in a long coat, with hair at the back of his head that was a little long, half-draped over his shoulders. Some of the ends of the hair were upturned and trembling as the gentleman crackled and fiddled with the abacus.
When the road steward took out Shao Manho's IOU, house deed, and employment voucher and handed it over.
The gentleman looked at the thing in his hand in amazement, picked up the thick bottom of the bottle that was about to fall to the tip of his nose, put it next to his eyes, and took a closer look at the boy who was standing in the courtyard and was stupid, and said, "No wonder ......"
Then he put the stack of things aside, and first wrote the credentials of the Shao family's short-term employment.
Poor thing!
The kid in front of him only went into the courtyard of the first family, and he folded all his net worth.
If they don't finish writing the paperwork, I'm afraid that after the New Year, there will be another dead family in their village.
The style of employment paperwork is simple.
There were only a few transactions in the account room, and Shao Manhoard's father's name was changed.
After drying the ink on the note, he beckoned to Shao Manchu, who was standing in the courtyard and didn't even dare to change his posture.
"Boy, come and put a mudra on it. ”
The bookkeeper deliberately pointed to the box of ink with the lid open in front of the abacus, and asked the peasant boy to press his thumb into the porcelain tray as instructed.
"It's the day of work, it's ...... Month...... Ten...... Six, yes, that is, after the Lantern Festival. ”
"Wake up early that day, lest the dispatchers send out all the work of suicide. ”
"The mudra should be pressed here, yes, you have a share, and the Lord's family has a copy. ”
"When the time comes, just take this document and hand it to the steward who sent it to work. ”
The bookkeeper made it very clear.
Shao Manchu's eyes were only fixed on the words that the other party pointed to that represented the day.
"Positive, month, ten, six...... Yes, sir, I get it!"
Shao Manchu, who took the voucher, didn't dare to stay longer, bowed to the account room and the steward, and went back along the way he came just now.
