Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Backyard Project Begins
Min'er's family finished breakfast early and waited for Zhang Qiang to bring someone to work.
"Second cousin, you are with my father today, this person is so busy that I am afraid that my father will run out." Min'er said to Wang Jizong.
"Cheng, don't worry, I will definitely be able to watch my brother-in-law." Wang Jizong has a misplaced brotherhood with Zhao He these days, so he takes good care of Zhao He.
"Miss Min, we're here to work." Zhang Qiang's voice came from the courtyard. The sisters hurried out and took everyone to the backyard.
"Let's take all this grass to the workshop's warehouse, and then tear down this straw shed." Zhang Qiang gave an order, and everyone started to get busy without saying anything.
"Miss Min, have you chosen a location?" Originally, everyone was called Min'er, but Ling'er proposed to let everyone call her sister Miss Min instead, or let these old men always call her a bad name. Even though she's only ten years old now, that's not good.
"Just start measuring it in the area where Ling'er stands." Min'er pointed to where Ling'er was standing. Her backyard is huge, and they plan to use a third of it to build a workshop, and then there will be a place to build it if they need it in the future. Zhang Qiang looked at it and frowned and said:
"Over there? Then this back door has to be reorganized, and a road has to be built outside this door, or you have to come from the front yard to get a car or something. Ling'er, they chose the location near the back door.
"That's what we plan, but now we'll finish the workshop first, and we'll talk about the road and the door next spring. By the way, the door of the workshop faces the river behind it, which will separate my house from the workshop in the future, one goes to the front door, and the other goes through the back door. Min'er explained.
"Oh, that's a good place to go, okay, I see, if anything changes, you'll have to tell me in advance." Zhang Qiang was thinking about this work in his heart, and he thought about it for a while.
"Okay, you're busy, we're going to the front yard, if there's anything to call us." After speaking, Min'er left the backyard with Ling'er.
When they came to the front yard, they saw Aunt Zhang and the three people coming in outside the door, and after saying hello, they let the three of them into the room.
"Min'er, we all said when we went back, and the family agreed to let us come, so let's sign the paperwork." Qi was the first to speak. In fact, Min'er guessed when she saw them, because the three of them came with a smile.
"You sit down first, I still have a few words to say before signing the paperwork." After Min'er saw a few people sit down, she said:
"The external statement of our workshop was opened by a relative of Uncle Zhang's family, as for this relative, only Uncle Zhang and the village chief have met, we are the people who work under the people, and we don't know about that person at all. My sisters and I are not even members of the workshop, but because the workshop is in my house, we go to play from time to time. There is also the fact that the affairs of our workshop should be kept secret, especially for outsiders, there is no leakage at all, if it leaks out, then our workshop is not the only one, and none of us want to make money at that time. This document is written on what kind of work you are responsible for, I will finish this later, and there is confidentiality, if anyone says it, it will be fined or kicked out of the workshop, depending on the situation. In addition, the monthly income of each three years of work in the workshop will increase by one or two, of course, if the workshop expands or opens a semicolon elsewhere, the three of you are most likely to go and take charge alone. Naturally, the whole family will go, and your family will be arranged to understand, so you don't have to worry about this, so you not only have to be responsible for your own part, but also understand the other parts at first glance. But it is only to understand that it can not affect the normal operation of the workshop, and there are three days before the first day of the new year. We have to make some preparations first, Aunt Zhang, you will go to the village in a while to find those who have not gone to the workshop to see if you can recruit a few people to cook for those people in the backyard temporarily, and the salary is five cents a day per person, and she will take care of her lunch. That way you don't have to be so tired, and besides, you have other things to do. After Min'er finished speaking, she turned around and went to pick up the written paperwork, which they had written before, and the two sisters worked hard to write these words.
"This is a paperwork, if there is no problem, put a fingerprint here, if there is a problem, bring it up now." Min'er gave one by one, in fact, she knew that none of them could read, but she also showed her to show her that she was above board and did not lie to them. The three of them didn't look at it much, they all pressed their handprints, and Min'er wrote their names for each of them.
"Now you are a regular employee of the workshop, and after three days you come to work, you will start to record your wages, and then you will be paid the previous month's wages on the fifth day of the first month of each month. By the way, if any of you have time, you can go to town with the two of us the day after tomorrow to buy some things to use. Aunt Zhang, don't go, it's not convenient for you to carry it when the time comes, just rest at home. Min'er saw that Aunt Zhang was about to speak, and hurriedly stopped her from talking.
"That's done, I'll come back on the first day of junior high school." Aunt Zhang wanted to be a little embarrassed to say, but now she is just pushing the boat down the river.
"I can go, and there's nothing going on at home." Zhou said.
"I don't seem to be able to, my mother-in-law asked me to go to her house in the afternoon to do quilting, I guess it's enough." Qi Shi said with some uneasiness that he had just signed the paperwork and seemed a little unreasonable.
"It's okay, we have to hire a car anyway, mainly because I'm afraid that our sisters won't be able to choose someone to help us with long eyes. Aunt Bai is enough alone, and it's useless to go too much. Min'er looked at her expression and hurriedly explained the situation.
"Then I'll rest assured, my mother-in-law, hey" Qi didn't say much, her mother-in-law didn't ask her to go because she didn't go to the workshop in the village, if she knew that she had found this job now, she wouldn't necessarily put forward any conditions.
"Min'er, I have something to say." Zhou looked at Qi's face and guessed about Qi.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Min'er was curious.
"Can our wages be said to be 500 wen to the outside world? This also saves the village chief from being unsightly. "Zhou's main reason for mentioning this is to help Qi's family, her mother-in-law is very domineering.
"Okay, we won't say anything anyway, you three can say it at first glance." As soon as Min'er heard this, she remembered Qi's mother-in-law, isn't there a good mother-in-law?
At this time, Zhang Qiang's voice came from outside, Min'er hurriedly ran out, and Ling'er also put her head out of the window curiously.
"Miss Min, I just calculated, this stone brick is not enough, but if we go to pick it ourselves, the construction period will have to be delayed. So I wanted to go to Baiyanggou to buy ready-made, I thought that the green bricks were good-looking, but they were too expensive, and if all the stone bricks were used, three taels of silver would be enough. It can also bring out the stone used in the road from the door of the workshop to the door of the backyard, which saves more than four taels of silver. Although Min'er said that he was fully responsible, he thought it was better to say hello.
"That's fine, but there's going to be more, and I want to brick the whole backyard and use it as a drying field or something. You can use the money you gave you yesterday, and if it is not enough, you can ask me again. "Min'er asked Aunt Zhang to bring twenty taels of silver to Zhang Qiang yesterday and asked him to buy materials or something.
"Okay, I'll go to Zhang Luo." After finishing speaking, he went to the backyard, and as soon as Min'er turned around and saw Ling'er's appearance, she said angrily:
"What do you look like, go back quickly, this good letter." (Good letter: Northeast dialect, the meaning of curiosity.) Ling'er stuck out her tongue, only to get another slap from Min'er.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, are you leaving?" Zhou saw that there was nothing to do and planned to leave.
"Let's go, I'll stay a little longer, and there's nothing to do when I get home." Aunt Zhang said lazily, Erya is at home, and she will have to cook for those who work at noon for a while. Not long after they left, the sister-in-law and his wife came, and when they saw Aunt Zhang, they were stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Where is Sister-in-law Zhang? Looks good. The sister-in-law and Aunt Zhang were polite, and the sister-in-law was not good to come to their room, so they sat in the hall.
"You guys, I'll go find my brother-in-law." Min'er said and went to the ground.
"Brother-in-law, let's go to my father's house, it's too messy here." Those who work pass through the courtyard from time to time, and the situation of this hall is also clear at a glance.
"Hey, okay." Liu Dabao followed Min'er to Zhao He's house.
"Second cousin, this is my brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, this is my second cousin's name Wang Jizong. Min'er introduced.
"Brother-in-law, you can just call me Erxiao, everyone calls me that." Wang Jizong said with a smile.
"Cheng, I'll be called at first glance when others call me."
"Little brother-in-law, my second cousin and we have been studying for more than ten days, let him teach you first, and let's learn the plan together in two days. Do you think that works? "Liu Dabao is an elder after all, and Min'er can't help but ask his opinion.
"Cheng, I'm here to learn, and you arranged it at first glance." Liu Dabao has a lively brain, and he is also very tactful, not as wooden as his brother. After settling Liu Dabao well, Min'er returned to the room, and when she saw Aunt Zhang gone, only her sister-in-law and Ling'er couldn't help asking:
"Aunt Zhang is gone?"
"Well, I said I was tired, so I'll go home for a while." Ling'er replied.
"My sister-in-law is still here, don't worry, can we still eat my sister-in-law?" Min'er knew that Aunt Zhang must have made an excuse to leave, so she made a joke as if something was going on with her sister-in-law.
"You girl, I'm not so suffocated in my heart that I'm looking for you to chat." Zhao Cui didn't have a girlfriend or anything in the village because of her mother's relationship, and no one said anything in her heart. Min'er is like an adult now, so she wanted to talk about it here, not for anything else, just to make her heart open and open.
"What's wrong?" Min'er was very curious, and Ling'er was stunned when she heard it, her sister-in-law didn't tell her just now. Later, I thought that I was so young, who could tell her what was on my mind.
