Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Salary Has Been Raised

Since Pan Jiaqing took over the work of Liu Jiaao sitting in the museum, when she returned home and told her mother, she was initially anxious and happy, and she also tried her best to prepare the luggage and supplies for her son to go to the museum. Pan Jiaqing has nothing to do at home, and still goes to the street every day to set up a stall to sell words. So at the end of April, Xu Changwen's mother celebrated her birthday, Pan Jiaqing took her mother to Xu's house, and I don't know what the Xu family's mother-in-law said to Pan's mother. When she got home, Pan's mother asked, "Then the Lin family is a widow in charge?" ”

Pan Jiaqing nodded inexplicably, and Pan's mother was immediately angry: "The widow of the Lin family is in the name of Mr. Please, who knows what Lu Dao has in mind...... Let's go to the Lin family to sit in the museum! ”

It took Pan Jiaqing a long time to react to the meaning of her mother's words, although she felt that her mother was a little excessive, but he was still kind to explain to Lin Niangzi, only saying that Lin Niangzi behaved generously and dignifiedly, and it was quite good to educate a pair of children...... But Pan Jiaqing, a nerd, is called a genius in vain, and he is good at reading and writing poetry, which is not lawless to persuade people.

It turned out that as soon as Pan's mother heard that the Lin family was a widow, she suspected that the widow of the Lin family had ill intentions, and this Pan Jiaqing praised and praised again, and did not hide his appreciation for the Lin family's lady...... This is in Pan's mother's eyes and ears, which is the best evidence of the Lin family's lady's ill intentions! This son hasn't gone to the museum yet, he was seduced, if he goes to the museum, he still has to disobey her as a mother, and there is only that widow in his eyes?

Yes, Pan Jiaqing explained and persuaded him, but not only failed to persuade his mother to agree to him, but instead made Pan's mother angry, and directly said, if Pan Jiaqing dared to go to Liu Jiaao's museum, he walked on the front foot, and she hung on the back foot!

Pan Jiaqing was taken aback, and she didn't dare to persuade anymore, but she saw that the appointed day was approaching day by day, and her anxiety was naturally getting heavier day by day.

Since that day, Pan Jiaqing didn't dare to sell words on the street, and guarded his mother at home every day, just afraid that if he made a mistake, his mother wouldn't think of anything. Yes, when Junwen came to the door, Pan Jiaqing was in the house, but Pan's mother clasped the door behind her, came out and said something to Junwen that she didn't like to hear, and Junwen didn't think much about it, so she went back to the restaurant directly.

Junwen left, Pan Jiaqing was free, regardless of Pan's mother's obstruction, chased Junwen to explain and apologize, but just missed it with Qiu Chen, who had entered the ready-to-wear store. When I arrived at the food shop, I heard Junwen say that Lin Niangzi went to Panjiaji, and I couldn't help but be worried and ashamed, but I was afraid that the old mother would say something unpleasant to Lin Niangzi...... was about to turn around and go home, but Lin Niangzi rode back. It's just that Mrs. Lin, who has changed into men's clothes, not only does not have a sense of disobedience, but has a straight waist and a lofty spirit, which is more worthy of the word 'handsome' than countless men!

Seeing that Lin Niangzi simply confessed a few words, Gu Zi ate and was about to leave with the children, several children led by Junwen also followed Qiu Chen out, and the older ones didn't look at him, even the youngest Aman just leaned on the eldest brother's shoulder and looked at him, so he buried his face in Junwen's neck, and lost the closeness of the last time.

Pan Jiaqing woke up from the surprise that her mother suddenly changed her mind, and followed the Lin family out of the food shop, wanting to ask her mother if she said anything that she didn't like, and wanted to apologize to Lin Niangzi, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was blocked by Junwen's cold face, Pan Jiaqing only felt that her cheeks were hot, and Pan Jiaqing, who had always been unruly and free, no longer had the courage to say anything, so she only shook her head at Lin Niangzi who was standing in front of the carriage.

Qiu Chen always had a faint smile on her face, and when she saw Pan Jiaqing giving a salute, she didn't avoid it, she only arched her hand slightly, and was immediately helped by Junwen to get into the carriage, and when she entered the carriage, she didn't talk to Pan Jiaqing again. Junwen didn't even look at Pan Jiaqing, shook a loud whip, shouted, the horse's hooves trampled, the wheels rolled, and gradually disappeared into the crowd at the street entrance.

Pan Jiaqing stood in place, stunned, and didn't move for a long time.

The car drove out of Anping County and got on the official road, Afu Aman soon fell asleep, Qiu Chen placed the two children in the carriage to lie down, covered them with a thin quilt, and leaned on the car window, opened the bamboo curtain and looked out, but his eyes went over the green trees, confused, and he didn't know where to look.

Although Liu Sanhe also came to the door to bully him before, he was scared by Qiu Chen's stick......

However, Pan's mother's actions made Junwen angry and angry, but Qiu Chen was not angry, let alone angry. Pan's mother's behavior, she is not angry, it is just a mother's hope for her son Jackie Chan, and her concern for her son, even if it is a little excessive, even if there are some unclear rights and wrongs......

Since coming to this world, she has felt the awesomeness of human words for the first time, and for the first time, she has deeply felt the prejudice and narrowness that is firmly in her ideology......

She was not angry and angry, but she felt a deep powerlessness and sadness!

There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door...... Who would have thought that she would invite her husband to sit in the hall and cause such a big reaction from others!

Junwen drove the car, and Junyan Junzhang and the two leather boys also felt that their aunt's emotions were wrong, so they quietly avoided the carriage and ran to the wheel to sit. Qiu Chen knew that Dao Junwen would take care of them, so he didn't make a sound, just sat silently all the way, letting his thoughts and emotions spread out, relaxing and calm in the quiet soothing!

After walking silently for half an hour, Junwen felt uncomfortable with that breath in his heart, and worried about the silent aunt in the carriage, he thought about it again and again, handed the whip to Junzhang, lifted the curtain himself, and looked into the carriage.

My aunt had already changed into a men's dress, to be precise, she had taken off her straight trim and changed into her daily muslin shirt, and the bun that was stored on the top of her head was also put down, neatly coiled in the back of her head.

The light in the carriage was a little dim, and my aunt was leaning against the window, half of her face facing the light of the window, and half of her face was hidden in the darkness, blurred. Clearly half of his face, his expression was indifferent and calm, he couldn't see joy and anger, and he didn't have tears as Junwen imagined, but inexplicably, Junwen felt uncomfortable, and intuitively decided that half of his aunt's cheeks, which were blurred in the darkness, were full of sadness.

"Auntie...... don't feel bad, it's a big deal, let's not ask him to be a gentleman. No matter how big it is, we won't open classes or study! Junwen wanted to bear the burden for his aunt, but he didn't know where to start, opened his mouth, and spit out these words.

Qiu Chen blinked, slowly turned his head, looked at the young man with an anxious and indignant face, slowly hooked the corners of his lips, and opened a bright smile.

"You stupid boy!" As soon as he spoke, Qiu Chen scolded his nephew first, then sat up straight, and said earnestly: "Please Mr. Pan to teach you, what do we like?" ”

Junwen was stunned, but subconsciously replied: "Because Mr. Pan is good at learning!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded: "Well, yes, let's invite him to be Mr., first of all, because Mr. Pan is good at learning." Secondly, it is because of his good conduct, open-mindedness, and not sticking to stereotypes...... You also said that it was not Mr. Pan who broke his promise, nor did Mr. Pan make any mistakes, but that his mother was concerned about her son's future that caused him to do such a thing......"

"Hmph, that old lady of the Pan family...... Well, it's really unreasonable, it's really annoying! Speaking of Pan's mother, Junwen, who was humiliated by language, naturally did not have a good voice.

The smile on Qiu Chen's face deepened, and he shook his head in disapproval: "This is actually no wonder Mr. Pan's mother...... Although the way she behaves and speaks is inconsiderate and inappropriate, the starting point of her love for her son is ...... Well, it's that her heart for her son is good. From another point of view, if you or Lin Xu encounter this kind of thing, I might suspect something...... Of course, you have to be cautious about how to deal with it, and you can't be so reckless and rude. ”

"Hey, auntie?" Junwen looked at Qiu Chen in disbelief, he never thought that instead of being angry with the old woman of the Pan family, his aunt seemed to have some approval.

Qiu Chen smiled, changed his words, changed his angle, and said: "If Junyan Junzhang wants to play with those bad children in the village, or if the children themselves are not necessarily bad, but their parents are very ignorant, will we rest assured that he will go?" If so, it's not just fun, but also possible to marry home? ”

Throwing a few questions to Junwen, looking at Junwen frowning and looking incomprehensible, Qiu Chen couldn't help but smile. What's wrong with her, why bother to force a child so hard!

Smiled and patted Junwen's shoulder, Qiu Chen said, "Junwen, if you can't figure it out, forget it." You know, my aunt really didn't get angry and sad for the old lady of the Pan family. The school is built in the village, and in the future, the Erkui family will help Mr. Pan cook and clean, you should go to school, and I will not have much contact with Mr. Pan, and after a while, whether it is the old lady of the Pan family or anyone else, I will not be able to say anything. It's done, the mouth grows on others, we can't care what people say, but we can make ourselves stand upright. If you stand upright and live our lives, what do others say? Okay, it's getting late, you go and watch the car, don't let Junyan and Junzhang drive the car into the ditch! ”

The aunt and the eldest brother were talking, and the two boys on the wheel were listening with their ears pricked, and they listened to the words in front of them in a daze, and they didn't understand very well, but they heard the last sentence clearly. My aunt actually looked down on people, and said that their brothers would drive the car into the ditch!

Junyan was irritable, and immediately jumped up from the wheels of the car and stopped doing it to his aunt: "Auntie, how can you say that? It's not like they didn't rush back to the car! ”

Seeing this kid's unhappy look, Junwen, who was angry just now, couldn't help but laugh, raised his hand and slapped Junyan's head, regardless of Junyan's grinning and screaming pain, he scolded with a smile: "How can you talk to your aunt, you stinky boy?" You're embarrassed to say that you drove the car, but at home, it wasn't that you drove the car to the stone and stuck the axle! ”

Junzhang smiled beside him and said, "Big brother, what the fourth said is right, he really didn't drive the car to the ditch!" ”

As soon as Junzhang's words came out, Qiu Chen couldn't hold back his laughter. Junyan was laughed at, he didn't dare to do anything to his aunt and eldest brother, he turned around and threw himself at Junzhang, Junzhang said that and he was obediently ready, and when he saw him move, he slipped into the carriage early, and as a result, the two boys rolled onto Qiu Chen, and even the sleeping Afu Aman woke up! After the worst, he was slapped by Junwen alone, and then he smiled and hugged the dazed Afu Aman and sat down obediently in the carriage.

Because of the delay in the county seat for more than half an hour, when the group returned to Liujiaao, it was already sunset.

The people in the village adhered to the habit of resting at sunset, and as soon as the sun set, they went home early, ate and slept, so when the carriage of the Lin family drove into Liujiaao, it did not attract children chasing back and forth, nor did they meet the farmers who returned from farming, and returned to the door of the Lin family quietly. Junyan Junzhang jumped out of the car early and ran to Lan Ying's house to get the keys.

It's just that Qiu Chen helped Junwen get out of the car, and then turned around to take over Afu Aman's kung fu, and Junyan Junzhang rushed back with the bolt.

"Auntie, the key!" Jun Yan waved the key in his hand and ran to the door with Jun Zhang to open the door. The bolt rushed to the front of the car and talked to Afu Aman, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.

Qiu Chen turned around and took a paper bag from the car and handed it to the three children, but he smiled and instructed: "Go home, wash your hands and eat again!" ”

Ah Fu Aman and the plug nodded at the same time and obediently agreed, and as soon as Qiu Chen turned around, the bolt had already secretly taken out a piece of screw candy from the paper bag and stuffed it into his mouth. The corner of Qiu Chen's eyes saw the small movements of the leather boy clearly, but he only had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he did not accuse.

After removing the threshold, Junwen drove the carriage into the door, and Qiu Chen also led a few children into the door of the house after a few days' absence.

opened the door, lit the candles, took the lantern and lit it, and hung it at the door, Lan Ying entered the door with a clay pot and a small basket, and behind her, followed by Xiang'er and Xiu'er, each holding a large bowl.

"Well, I was thinking you would have to come back today...... Why are you back so late today? But the road is not easy to walk? As soon as Lan Ying entered the door, her trademark loud voice began to ask one after another.

Qiu Chen was hanging up the lantern, and when he heard Lan Ying's voice, he clapped his hands and turned around: "The journey was quite smooth." When we passed through the county seat, we went to Mr. Pan's house and told them that Ming'er would send a car to pick them up, so that Mr. Pan could make preparations. ”

"Hey, Ming'er will pick up Mr...... Bhoo, belch, that's good! When we bring him back, our school will be able to start classes! Lan Ying immediately rejoiced when she heard this.

Qiu Chen couldn't help laughing because of her exaggerated expression, reached out to take the food in Lan Ying's hand, and beckoned Xiang'er and Zhi'er into the house together, Qiu Chen smiled: "Why are you so happy, your family is still young, but you can't go to school!" ”

"Oh, what are you afraid of if you can't go to school, as long as you have a gentleman and a school, it's not cheap for a bolt to wait two years to go to school." Lan Ying said with a smile, but her eyes looked Qiu Chen up and down, and said with a smile, "What, when I went back to my mother's house, why did I lose weight?" But my uncle and aunt are reluctant to give you food, and they starve you and lose weight? ”

Qiu Chen really didn't feel anything, hearing Lan Ying say this, he subconsciously raised his hand and stroked his cheek, groaned slightly, and then smiled: "Sister Lan Ying, this time I was going to go back to the Yang family's shop, and I have to go to Fucheng to do something first." But when I arrived in Fucheng, a few days passed in a blink of an eye, and I was done yesterday. No, it will start work tomorrow, so I had to rush back, and I couldn't go back to Yang's shop! ”

"Ah, you didn't go back!" Lan Ying was surprised, and then smiled open-mindedly, "I said, if you go back to your parents' house, your uncle and aunt are still happy, how can you starve you without food...... Well, okay, you rushed all the way back, and you were also tired, so hurry up and call a few children to eat. I'll make a fire and boil water for you......"

"Sister Lan Ying, don't be busy, I'll burn it later!" Qiu Chen was really a little uneasy, and couldn't help refusing.

Lan Ying's movements did not pause, waved her hand without looking back, and walked out of the door: "What are you still polite to me, hurry up and eat!" ”

Seeing her fiery appearance, Qiu Chen knew that it was useless to say anything, so he simply stopped being polite, and beckoned the children to wash their hands and eat. Seeing the children sit around the kang table, she took out two silk yarns, one azure and one begonia red, from the pile of luggage she unloaded, and gave them to Lan Ying later. The azure one can be used to make summer shirts for the elderly and plugs, and the begonia red ones can be used to make shirts and skirts for the three girls, which are all good, beautiful and cool.

took out a few more packets of snacks and added two packs to Lan Ying, and divided the rest into two portions. One is to give the mountains and stones to the second Kui's family, and the other is to go to the third grandmother's house as a companion. She was not at home these days, Lao He and Liu Sanhe had been eating at the third grandmother's house, she was back, and she should have informed her and thanked her.

After getting the gifts, Qiu Chen sat down to eat.

Lan Ying brought over a bowl of steamed egg custard, a bowl of fried pickles with eggs, and a pot of cabbage gnocchi soup. In the small basket are five or six large white rolls, all of which are white-faced.

It seemed like a simple meal, but Qiu Chen knew that it should have been specially made for them by Lan Ying. Although Lan Ying now earns a high monthly income, the farmer's habit of being diligent and thrifty, their family has always eaten two-sided rolls. Dishes like egg custard and fried pickles with eggs are also not seen on weekdays.

After eating dinner in a hurry, Lan Ying had already boiled a large pot of hot water, and brought a pot of hot water with her and brought it in for Qiu Chen.

Junwen took Junyan Junzhang to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and was ordered to take snacks and go to Erkui's house to spread the word, and go to the third grandmother's house to inform him. Qiu Chen made tea and let Lan Ying sit on the edge of the kang, while she mixed water under the kang and gave Afu Aman a bath, then changed into half-cut pajamas and pajamas and hugged the kang.

While busy, Qiu Chen was talking to Lan Ying. It is nothing more than answering some of Lan Ying's questions about Fucheng.

Compared with Lan Ying's curiosity and longing, Qiu Chen, who was too plain, was not as good as Ah Fu and Aman's two small words, which were more in line with Lan Ying's thoughts. Listening to the two little chatters talking about what they had seen and heard in Fucheng, what buildings were taller than trees, what fresh snacks were eaten, what strange things were juggling, and there were particularly interesting storytellers...... Lan Ying, Xiang'er, Zhi'er, Bolt, and the Shanzi stones that rushed over after hearing the sound, large and small, all followed with surprise or sighing.

After that, Junyan Junzhang and Junwen brothers sent things back, which described all kinds of experiences in Fucheng, there were two more Junyan Junzhang, Junwen listened with a smile, and only if he asked about him, he would insert a sentence or two.

Everyone was talking lively, and Qiu Chen couldn't interject. Compared with their fresh excitement, her overly calm mood seemed a little out of place, and she simply didn't stay in the room at all, packed up the hot water, went to the backyard to take a bath, changed into dry and comfortable clothes, wiped her hair and walked back slowly, and saw that the symposium in the house was not finished, but added the Qingshan family, the Qinghe family, the Erkui family, and four or five children, large and small, to fill the already small room.

Seeing Qiu Chen come back wiping his hair, Lan Ying realized that the hour was not early, and the Lin family was tired after a day's journey, so he said goodbye with a smile, and Qiu Chen naturally gave the children of the Qingshan family and the Qinghe family a bag of snacks for each person.

Lan Ying was the last to go out, Qiu Chen stuffed two packs of snacks and two silk yarns into her arms, Lan Ying refused a few times, and when she saw that Qiu Chen gave it sincerely, she accepted it happily.

Qiu Chen sent her out, and said to Lan Ying: "Sister Lan Ying, this time I went back to Fucheng and negotiated another business." In this way, those who originally planned to start the house in the autumn had to rush to find someone to buy materials to build it. You go home and talk to Uncle Dachuan Manchu, find people, buy materials, and watch the days, the sooner the better...... I simply built it once, and I covered the two sets of yards at once. ”

Lan Ying was overjoyed when she heard this, and promised again and again: "Two sets of yards at once, how wide and bright it is!" Cheng, I went home and told her father and his father that most of the wheat autumn has been busy in the past few days, and almost half of the people's autumn grain has also been planted, and if they move slowly, they will work hard for three or two days. After planting the autumn grain, the work in the field is not so urgent. ”

After a pause, Lan Ying said again: "If you build a house at this time, many people in the village should recite Buddha." This year, many people's wheat in our village is bad, and I don't know how to spend this time in autumn, how can you take out one or two young people to come to work, so you don't have to worry about starving! ”

Thinking of the heart-rending cry after the heavy rain that day, the smile on the corner of Qiu Chen's mouth couldn't be hung up.

Alas, at this time, the peasants completely relied on the weather for food, waterlogging, drought, cold, and heat could not be achieved, and when it was critical to catch up, a rain and a gust of wind could make the fruits of hard work for half a year be wasted...... Moreover, at this time, the peasants were still the main source of state taxes, and they also had to bear the burden of conscription, military service, and so on...... It's so hard to live!

After sending off the guests and closing the courtyard door, Qiu Chen beckoned Junwen to take Junyan Junzhang to wash and sleep, and she also turned back to the main room and took Afu Aman to sleep.

After a day's journey, the two children were tired after all, there were many people just now, and their bright eyes were still excited, but after a while, they couldn't open them, Qiu Chen pulled the thin quilt, covered the two children and himself, blew the lamp, and closed his eyes.

I thought that after the events of the Pan family during the day, she might lose sleep, but she didn't expect that after a short time with her head next to the pillow, she fell asleep. It was a good night's sleep, and I didn't even have a dream.

Early the next morning, the Lin family's breakfast was served, and Liu Sanhe and Lao He came over to eat with a smile.

As soon as the family finished eating, Junwen and Junzhang Junyan were cleaning up the table, and Lan Ying was already the first to come over.

"I told his father when I got home last night, and he thought it was okay. When I went out just now, his father also instructed me to tell you that after dinner, he would go to the village first and count the manpower...... Well, his father said, this time the way to find a helper should be more appropriate...... After a while, his father will come over to discuss the materials with you. ”

Qiu Chen naturally knew that in Lan Ying's unfinished words, he was referring to the last time he built the school, and the harvester ran away with people. This is not a good thing, and it is enough to know each other, Qiu Chen responded with a smile. He said to Lan Ying again: "It's just right, I also have something to discuss with you." ”

"Well, what's the matter, you can say it!" Lan Ying said, rolled up her sleeves and stepped in to help Qiu Chen wash the dishes and chopsticks.

Qiu Chen was not polite to her, and said: "I told you yesterday, we are about to open a new workshop again, and at least five or six people will have to be hired at that time, plus the previous one, there will be almost twenty people." There are a lot of people here, eating and dressing are all big things, and I'm busy inside and out alone, and I really can't play it, no, I'm just thinking about it, Sister Lan Ying won't have to fry medicine in the future, come to the front yard, take care of the shopping and kitchen, and when the clothes of the four seasons will be paved, it's also up to you, in addition, let's discuss adding a chef with good cooking skills...... Huh, what's going on? If you agree, we'll build a house and cook for dozens of workers right away, and you can start managing it from now on. ”

Qiu Chen said as he observed Lan Ying's expression, and seeing that Lan Ying did not have an unhappy expression, he had a bottom in his heart, and he simply asked a question.

"This ...... I can't read, so let me take care of the shopping...... Can it be done? Lan Ying was a little cramped.

She is not afraid of being tired of doing work for others, but she has to worry about laying things out. She has never taken care of other people's affairs, but she has been married for so many years, has cooked for many years, and made clothes for many years. It turned out that there was something unsatisfactory from the family, and there was nothing to say, this is in the Lin family, more than 20 helpers, if there is anything dissatisfied?

Qiu Chen naturally knew that it was inevitable that he would be a little cramped and unconfident in managing things for the first time, so he smiled and said with relief: "What's wrong with this." Everyone's daily meals, let's discuss and set a rule, in the future, there are no special circumstances, let's follow this rule, steamed bread is enough, but the dishes are to be quantitative...... Before, there were few people, and everyone ate with us, so they were naturally rich, but later, when there were more people, they couldn't eat together anymore. It's not just the food, but the amount of various expenses in the future will gradually be determined, such as clothes for the four seasons, and when the time comes, I will buy cloth to make it and divide it. The same is true for monthly money, and the same is true for New Year's festivals...... Hehe, these can't be sorted out all at once now, so we are just starting, and if something happens, the two of us will discuss and settle it, and there will be rules to follow in the future. ”

Being persuaded by Qiu Chen like this, Lan Ying's eyes also lit up a little, and she hesitated: "Do you really think I can do it?" ”

"It's done, why not. If you don't succeed, why haven't you had a lot of time at home? This is actually the same as your housekeeper! Qiu Chen did not hesitate to cheer Lan Ying up.

Lan Ying also strengthened her courage, sank her breath, looked like a strong man with a broken wrist, and said with a resolute face: "Since you say that I will succeed, then I will do it." Do it for a few days and see ......."

The first tone was half a sentence, and the second half of the sentence was a little lacking.

Qiu Chen wanted to laugh but could only endure it. The two of them just finished washing, Qiu Chen took Lan Ying to the house, pulled the food and ingredients stored at home, prepared to allocate them to the workers to eat, explained them to Lan Ying one by one, and took them out separately and put them in one place. He took another ledger and registered them one by one.

After the end, he handed the account book to Lan Yingdao: "You can't understand this now, don't be afraid, there are not many things in total, you see, I made a mark for you, the pork has drawn a pig's head, and the noodles have been painted with a bun...... Anyway, when you go to buy in the future, Junwen usually drives with you, and when the time comes, you say, let him write it down for you. If you take the effort and recognize these words, you will be able to read the account books without anyone in the future. ”

Lan Ying is the kind of character who recognizes things and goes to the black, not afraid of being tired or suffering, and still admits defeat, hearing Qiu Chen say this, even the fear and anxiety of seeing the account books are put aside, and instead laughs heartily: "Cheng, I will come over and let you teach me to read and write if I have kung fu in the future, you are not allowed to be annoyed!" ”

"How come, you don't have to worry about paper and pen, I'll prepare a set for you here!" Qiu Chen smiled and took a sip.

It just so happened that he was going to take a car to pick up Pan Jiaqing in the county seat, and Lan Ying, the big kitchen steward who took office on the first day, also stopped by to make the first purchase. The two of them summed up again and determined the varieties and quantities to be purchased. Then he asked Junwen to take Lan Ying with him in a car.

From telling Junwen to go to the county seat to pick up Pan Jiaqing, Qiu Chen saw that Junwen was not much disgusted, and he was no longer angry, so he knew that the rhetoric on the road yesterday had worked, so he was relieved.

sent them out, and the Qingshan family, the Qinghe family, Liu Zhanxiang, Lin Zi, Quan Ge'er and others also came. Qiu Chen glanced at it, and when he saw that there was no one missing, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

There was no Rob Ma, and the crushing work had been done before. Qiu Chen arranged for everyone to mix the powder evenly, and after sifting it several times, it was packed into small bottles, sealed with paraffin, and labeled.

The division of labor among the people, the flow of operations, the speed is a lot faster. In addition, Qiu Chen took Zhuangzi to spin the safety seed, and now Zhuangzi is also proficient, and because the young man has strength, he has more pills to spin at a time than Qiu Chen. The two of them worked together to spin more than 3,000 pills in one morning, and at this rate, when Ming'er and Junwen were added, they would be able to spin out this batch of healing pills in two days.

Because the carriage was going to the county seat, and he couldn't come back at noon, Qiu Chen used the bacon at home to go to the garden to pull some vegetables for lunch, and it was too late to steam steamed buns, so he steamed a big pot of rice.

Junwen and Lan Ying followed Erkui's carriage and didn't turn back until the beginning of the afternoon.

Qiu Chen was spinning the safety at the door of the east wing, and Shanzi and a few children rushed in and shouted: "Aunt Begonia, Aunt Begonia, Mr. is here!" ”

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, put down the bamboo flute, washed his hands, slightly adjusted his sideburns, and still took Afu Aman Junyan Junzhang to greet him together.

Erkui drove the carriage from the door of Lin's house. When Qiu Chen went out, he saw Junwen and Lan Ying getting out of the car, and immediately unloaded the rice, noodles, meat and vegetables that the two of them bought. Da Zhuang, Lin Zi, Brother Quan, and Liu Zhanxiang all came out to help unload the car when they heard the sound, and everyone talked and laughed and carried things to the courtyard, and they all looked at the carriage with curtains hanging down, and they were all more or less curious about the new gentleman.

Qiu Chen took a few children to greet Lan Ying and Junwen, Lan Ying excitedly blushed and said what she had seen and heard about the purchase in the county seat, but Qiu Chen's eyes looked past Lan Ying and looked at the carriage.

Erkui had already jumped out of the car and greeted Qiu Chen with a smile, Qiu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Pan had a smooth journey, right?" Brother Erkui sent Mr. Pan directly to the school! ”

Saying this, the curtain was raised, Pan Jiaqing bent out of the carriage, jumped off the carriage with an embarrassed face, and bowed to Qiu Chen: "Lady Laurin is bothered!" ”

Qiu Chen was slightly blessed, smiled, and said, "Mr. Pan is polite." The fathers and villagers and children in our village are looking forward to Mr. coming to the museum as soon as possible, so that the children can study! Erkui's family now lives in the west wing of the school, cleaning and taking care of them on weekdays. Erkui and his wife are both honest and simple in nature, and they are also diligent and clean. ”

Saying that, Qiu Chen nodded slightly, and then said: "Mr. Pan has worked hard all the way, let's go to the school to settle down first, the objects over there were arranged yesterday." What is there to be missing, or what is missing...... After a while, the village is sure to come when the village elders hear the news, and Mr. Shi will not be embarrassed despite his words. ”

Junwen had already settled down at this time and the things he had just bought turned out again. After listening to what my aunt said, she stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Pan, I'll send you over!" ”

Qiu Chen was relieved to see that his nephew was able to stand alone, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick up slightly. Turning back and walking into the courtyard, the corner of his eye swept over the carriage, but he saw that the curtain of the carriage moved violently, and then swayed, and the carriage moved again, and went to the east side of the school.

Hey, there's still someone in the car?

Qiu Chen turned his mind slightly, and roughly guessed it, the corners of his lips twitched, and he turned around and entered his own door.

She spent money to hire Mr. Teach, if she taught well, it would be fine, what was really born was wrong, then it was no wonder that she couldn't resist Mr. Xu's recommendation.

Turning around, Qiu Chen went to the door of the east wing to continue spinning the pills, and left the matter at the door behind.

Lan Ying hurriedly moved the things she bought into the house, and pulled Junyan Junzhang to help her deal with the account books and physical objects one by one, and made sure that there was nothing missing or missing, so she let out a long sigh. took out a bag of sugar slots from his arms and handed them to a few children, turned around and walked out of the room, looking for Qiu Chen.

Just now at the gate just briefly said a few words, at this moment, Lan Ying didn't bother to say more, only reported the number of things purchased one by one, and went to the backyard in a hurry.

Today, at noon, I opened the scale and collected hundreds of catties of Luo Bu Ma, at this time, only Brother Quan was frying alone, seeing that the sky was getting dark, and less than a third of it was fried, Lan Ying had been working for so long, and it was no wonder that she was anxious when she knew that Luo Bu Ma could not spend the night.

Not long after, Junwen also transferred back from the school. Qiu Chen said a few words to him, and asked him to go to the backyard to help fry Luo Buma.

Seeing Junwen leave, Qiu Chen smiled to himself. is really as she thought, Pan's mother really didn't worry about letting her son come to the hall by himself, so she actually came with her. It's okay, with a mother like her staring, the wind in the province is rain. Anyway, she paid attention to it yesterday, and in the school, she only paid silver and rice grains per month, and didn't do anything else.

Not long after Junwen went to the backyard, Lan Ying returned.

Qiu Chen smiled and discussed with her: "Have you thought about it, who has good cooking skills, clean people, and can also leave the house?" ”

Lan Ying shook her head and said, "The daughters-in-law have a few good skills, but they can't get out of the family. There are so many people who can get out, and the craftsmanship is not good......"

Qiu Chen saw Lan Ying frowning and looking distressed, and couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Lan Ying, let's say it's a daughter-in-law, but if anyone has a daughter, even if they are young and strong, as long as they are clean and can get out, they will be successful!" ”

Lan Ying's eyes widened when she listened, and then she slapped her head on the door of her head and said loudly: "Look at my brainlessness, why don't you know how to be flexible!" ”

After speaking, he ignored Qiu Chen's smile and bent his eyes, just frowning and thinking, but he didn't come up with a clue for a long time!

Qiu Chen looked really tired for her, so he simply prompted: "I think your Zhi'er is good, and the show from the little stinky family that day is also very good." However, Zhi'er doesn't have to follow you to the stove when he comes, lest someone say that you are fair or unfair when someone says that you are unfair or unfair, and it will be difficult for you to do it. Yuxiang, I saw that her skills were good, and she was diligent and clean, so I turned her over to the stove and asked Xiu'er to give her a hand. Zhi'er, you are a little tired yourself, take her with you, and let her go to the back to do the work. ”

Saying that, Qiu Chen didn't wait for Lan Ying to reply, and said: "In the future, there will be more people and more work, so I will think about paying the salary in a ration." How much work is paid, and those who can do it have no complaints, and those who can't do it can't say anything. Your Zhi'er is skillful and smart, so let her fry Luo Bu Ma first. Don't assign her any work at night, let her come over and learn a few words with Aman...... Well, it's easy to arrange later! ”

Qiu Chen arranged it like this, and all of a sudden he arranged it for Zhi'er, and even the opportunities to enter the body in the future were arranged, how could Lan Ying not be happy. Deng Shi smiled and lost his eyes, and happily blessed a few blessings, and said: "I don't care about this girl's business, you can arrange it however you want." Oh, while I have time to do it, I'll go to Xiao Stinky's house and say it, so that his Xiu'er Ming'er will come to work! ”

"Are you so sure that people will come?"

"How could you not? If we use people, if we let it out, I dare to say that it won't take a meal, and our door will be blocked......" As he spoke, Lan Ying had already walked away, and the last voice came from outside the gate.

This fiery temper!

Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile, lowered his head and continued to spin the pills.

Da Zhuang, who was not far away, listened to the conversation between Qiu Chen and Lan Ying in his ears, and secretly calculated in his heart, he was the second eldest in the family, there was a brother and sister-in-law above, and a younger sister below, and now he was eleven years old, and he would be twelve years old when he was old, he had a gentle and shy personality, but he was very tired, and he could do it by cooking and feeding pigs and doing needlework at home on weekdays. After the eldest brother got married, although the sister-in-law can also endure hardships and suffering, she always thinks about her own thoughts, and gradually the eldest brother is also a little biased towards his daughter-in-law, and the money earned by going out to do odd jobs is secretly stuffed into his daughter-in-law to save.

Seeing that his father and mother are old and have no ability, he can say that it is not a big deal for a man to marry after twenty, but girls generally start to say marriage at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and it is decided to marry at the age of fifteen, and it is just right to marry at the age of sixteen...... This name is not much better than a widow!

Just now, when he heard Aunt Begonia and Aunt Man Hoard discussing the employment of people, he wanted to speak, but after a little hesitation, Aunt Begonia arranged it, and he didn't mention his sister...... Alas, it's no wonder that although his sister is a good girl, she is too thin-skinned and refuses to go out easily.

Thinking of this, Da Zhuang secretly calculated, I heard that the owner is going to build a new house soon, and when the time comes, he has to call his sister and mother to help the Lin family for a few days, so that the owner can get to know him, I believe that his sister is so diligent, clean and kind, and she will definitely be able to win the favor of the owner. If there is a job to recruit people, he will also open his mouth to plead.

Qiu Chen didn't know what Lu Dao Dazhuang was thinking in his heart, but at this time, the things in his heart were all arranged, his mood was relaxed, and his movements were much brisker, this afternoon, when it was time for dinner, the two of them actually made more than 4,000 pieces!

Lan Ying didn't go out for a long time, and Zhi'er came over with Xiang'er.

Qiu Chen was not polite to this little sister, and knew that it was Lan Ying who went home and said that Zhi'er would come to work immediately. She was not polite to Zhi'er, so she asked Xiang'er to eat snacks and play with Lingzhi Man'er, and took Zhi'er to the backyard alone to replace Yuxiang, and took out a few ingredients for Yuxiang to clean up.

While arranging, Qiu Chen said: "I'm thinking, you have also been married for a few months, maybe there will be good news when the time comes." Follow them to work in the backyard, not to mention whether you are tired or not, it is inevitable that there will be a bump, so I simply let you come over to preside over the work on the stove. Your Aunt Lan Ying went to Xiao Shi's house, catch up with Ming'er, and let Xiu'er come to give you a hand. This work is not tiring, three meals a day are cooked, and there is nothing to do when it is washed and cleaned. The salary is the same for the time being, and if it is done well, it can rise again in the future! ”

Yuxiang listened to Qiu Chen think about herself so carefully, and it was too late to be moved in her heart, besides, she followed in the backyard, the crushing work was too heavy, she couldn't do it, the work of frying medicine, she would have a body at any time, and she also knew that the Taoist people would not teach her. But the work on the stove is all done at home. I thought that my cooking skills were good, but when I arrived at the Lin family, I saw Aunt Begonia stir-frying and cooking, and I realized that I really couldn't take out my little skills. At this time, I heard that she should be put on the stove, and I have no opinion at all.

hurriedly smiled and said: "Aunt Haitang don't worry about me thinking about it, I know that you are for my good." Besides, I'm willing to do the work on the stove...... Hehe, to put it cheekily, if you really learn the skill of Aunt Begonia's cooking, you can make a lot of money when you go to the county to open a food shop one day! ”

After speaking, Yuxiang felt that she was Meng Lang again, and was about to explain, but she heard Qiu Chen smile indifferently: "Then dare to be kind, what is my little skill, if you want to learn, just say, I will not keep my hands!" ”

Yuxiang was happy and excited, but she still couldn't help asking: "Aunt Begonia, just now I said that I opened a shop, don't you blame me for being big-hearted?" ”

Qiu Chen looked at this delicate little daughter-in-law and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of?" Ping his own craftsmanship and strength to earn money to eat, what's wrong with Zhengda saying it publicly? It's not that I have that bad mind, I just steal the teacher secretly, make the bad one, and learn the ability generously, I support it! If you really open your own shop in the future, you will also come out of me, and I will only feel that there is light on my face! ”

Saying this, Qiu Chen did not deliberately raise his voice, nor did he avoid anyone, he said it generously, and he knew at a glance that this was what she really said in her heart. Not only Yuxiang heard it, but Da Zhuang heard it, and it happened that Lin Zi and Liu Zhanxiang came over with a basket of healing medicine, and they also happened to hear these words clearly.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw a faint excitement in each other's eyes.

Since the owner said so generously that they would teach her if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to give up the chance, it would be really stupider than a pig. They also quickly calculated in their hearts, they didn't have what Yuxiang said, what kind of shop to open by themselves, they just thought about learning the craft from the owner, and they would do it in the Lin family, they couldn't do things, and being a master was much higher than the current salary. When the time comes, the income of dozens of taels of silver a year, and the food and clothing are still in charge, which is no worse than going to open a shop and worrying about being tired!

After another meal, Lan Ying took Xiaoxiu and turned back. Xiaoxiu came with her father, mother, stinky couple, and Xiaoxiu's seven younger siblings. The stinky husband and wife are not very old, and the stinky daughter-in-law is just thirty years old, but she is black, thin and old like an old woman.

As soon as he entered the door, the stinky daughter-in-law pulled Xiaoxiu to salute Qiu Chen, and the stinky man also rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly: "This child will be handed over to you in the future, if there is anything wrong, you can beat it!" ”

These words made Qiu Chen frown, this father who can't give his children a rich life, is already derelict and incompetent, and he is still like a cheap show, which is really despised.

Lan Ying saw that Qiu Chen was unhappy, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiu's father and mother thank you for giving Xiaoxiu a job, so I have to come over and say thank you in person......

The stinky daughter-in-law also said: "Xiaoxiu, this child does housework at home and takes care of his younger siblings, and the Lin family lady has any work to order." ”

Qiu Chen's face softened slightly, nodded and said: "Sister Lan Ying must have told you, my work here is not tiring, but I need to be very careful and patient, let Xiaoxiu come over today, it's not that I will use her if it's decided, but I will try it for a month, this month, I will give thirty yuan a day to take care of a lunch." After a month, Xiaoxiu will be officially left to work if she does well. At that time, wages will rise. ”

The stinky son and his daughter-in-law hurriedly smiled and said, "Thirty Wen is a lot, a lot!" Xiao Xiu'er has never worked, nor has she ever gone out, so she has less knowledge, and she hopes that the Lin family lady will give more guidance and more responsibility! ”

Qiu Chen naturally nodded in response, and with a wink, Lan Ying smiled and sent the stinky couple out. Before leaving, Xiaoxiu's younger brothers and sisters were staring at the food that Yuxiang had cleaned up over there, Qiu Chen turned his eyes away and ignored it.

She is recruiting workers, not opening a relief house, because with the existence of an employment relationship, she is no longer a simple village neighbor, she needs to consider the relationship with the workers in the future, and the workers must be clear about the concept of working hard in order to be valued. Nor did she want her workers to get into the habit of exchanging pity for handouts.

After sending Xiaoxiu's father and mother away, Qiu Chen saw that Yuxiang had already made a stir-fry dish and a cold salad out, so she called Junyan Junzhang over, served two dishes and a pot of rice, and asked them to send it to Mr. Pan in the school.

Liu Zhanxiang and Lin Zi finished packing the healing medicine they received in the morning and sealed the paraffin. The rest will have to wait for the fuse to be spun and dried before it can be packaged again. Seeing that the time was still early, I went over to help roll and dry Luo Bu hemp, plus Lan Ying also went over to help, seven or eight hundred catties of Luo Bu Ma were fried before the dark, and they were dried on bamboo baskets layer by layer, and set up in the backyard to dry the medicine shed.

Qiu Chen didn't expect them to finish the work in a hurry, and they had already asked Yuxiang to cook dinner for everyone before, and at this time, they also beckoned to put a table in the front yard to eat.

Then, at the dinner table, Qiu Chen announced this time the work adjustment and piecework salary system.

Lan Ying transferred it out for purchase and storage, and Junwen took Brother Quan to make the fried medicine, including the fried Luo Bu Ma and the fried healing medicine; Liu Zhanxiang took Lin Zi and Er Kui to be responsible for the crushing of the medicinal materials; The Qingshan family took the Qinghe family and Xiang'er to be responsible for the drying, rolling and packaging of Luo Buma, and the monthly money of the three of them was raised, from the previous two halves to three two months. Zhi'er and Xiu'er are newcomers, and they both have a one-month probationary period, with a monthly fee of 500 yuan. A month later, the annual deed is signed, and then see how much work can be done to determine the monthly payment.

After this arrangement was announced, most of them were full of joy, only Qinghe's smile was a little reluctant. She and the Qingshan family came to work in the Lin family, Lan Ying she didn't dare to compare, but she thought that she was no less than the Qingshan family's work, and the Qingshan family's salary was raised, but she still didn't move......

However, Qiu Chen quickly said again: "Some people haven't moved on this adjustment, and they don't need to have opinions in their hearts." As long as you are willing to be tired and attentive, and then, after we get up in the courtyard in the east, we will have to go to a workshop. When the time comes, the few people in charge will have to choose from among us. Everyone just relax, as long as you are willing to work hard, there are still opportunities for promotion in the future. ”

Before these words fell, Brother Quan, Lin Zi and Da Zhuang took the lead in shouting. They are young, and they are the latest, and they have no opinion on not promoting them this time, but when it comes to the opportunity to increase their wages in the future, they young people are naturally the most happy!

Qiu Chen smiled, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and when he saw that Qinghejia's face was slightly pale, he hooked the corners of his lips and lowered his head to eat.
