Chapter 110: Sweet and Sweet
Zhou took Shen Xi and Lin Dai to the pharmacy, and Hui Niang just came back from the new shop.
Hui Niang was understanding, stepped forward to inquire carefully, and saw that Zhou's eyes were red and tears were in her eyes, so she hurriedly comforted her, and it took a while for Zhou's mood to improve slightly.
"What do you say I'm busy with for the Shen family? It's just a matter of taking our shop away, and now I can't do it anymore, but you want me to take it over again, can I feel good in my heart? I just said I didn't want to go, and I was furious, as if my daughter-in-law had done something sorry for their Shen family......"
Zhou began to count and complain again.
Shen Xi was no longer surprised.
Although the old lady is spicy and unforgiving, she is still kind and virtuous at heart, but it is a pity that she was born in an era when women have no social status, even if she does things well, she cannot be recognized by others.
"Otherwise, my sister will take back the silver stored in me, buy a yard, and buy some fields, so that the old lady can take a high look, and she will never pick and choose from her sister again." Hui Niang asked tentatively.
Zhou wiped his tears with a handkerchief and shook his head: "I won't do this...... Even if you want to buy a yard, you have to wait until Xiaolang grows up in the future to get married and have children. If we buy it for the old lady now, we will definitely leave it to her sons and grandchildren, and we may not even be qualified to live in it. ”
"The conscienceless person in my family is the eldest in the family, and Xiaolang is also the eldest in his peers, how can the old lady never pass the yard to us...... Why bother? "нéíуапGě is intoxicated with chapters, and the festival is new
Hui Niang smiled slightly and said, "In this way, my sister has not been carried away by resentment, which is good." ”
Zhou shook his head and sighed: "But I haven't told the conscienceless person in my family about this, I always feel that I owe him something, these days he asked me why I was so busy, and I didn't dare to tell him about our shop." ”
Hui Niang did not speak again.
It is difficult for Qing officials to interrupt family affairs, many times she just persuades the Zhou family to look away, it really involves the family affairs of the Shen family, and Hui Niang, an outsider, is really not good to intervene casually.
"Don't talk about that."
Zhou finally diverted the topic, "I haven't asked about the situation in the workshop for the past two days, and I don't know what is going on now?" Shopkeeper Su, will they come back after they leave? ”
Hui Niang shook her head: "This sister doesn't know either." If you want to talk about this printing workshop, Xiaolang knows better than the two of us, he will come over every day after school to see, what the workshop needs to add, or arrange personnel, it is up to him to decide, he does a good job. ”
Zhou complained: "Sister, how can you trust that stinky boy? You see he's a ghost, we're talking, but he's eavesdropping behind the door...... Han Wa'er, come here, how can you eavesdrop on your mother talking to your grandaunt? ”
Shen Xi walked out from behind the curtain with a wry smile, looked at Hui Niang, and then looked at the old lady, in fact, he just wanted to know what kind of attitude the old lady had towards the family matter just now, and he didn't mean to listen to the private words.
"It's a good thing that Xiaolang is sensible, but it really can't let him get more contact with chores...... The most important thing for him now is to read the book well. Hui Niang's face became serious, "Xiaolang, I think it will be like this in the future, you don't have to worry about the workshop for now, study hard, and when you grow up in two years, it's not too late to ask." ”
Shen Xi hurriedly said: "Aunt Sun, now the workshop is the golden period to make money, if you don't hurry up, wait for others to study our technology thoroughly in the future, and then imagine that it is impossible to make money like this now." Besides, if I don't paint, why don't I release a follow-up album? ”
"Your future is more important than making money! Xiaolang, you are indeed very smart, but you have to use this cleverness on the right path, my aunt doesn't want to hurt you...... If you are just a businessman in the future, and you will be a dwarf everywhere you go, your aunt will blame yourself even if you enter the coffin. ”
Good guys.
Shen Xi secretly sighed in his heart, for the sake of his future, even a business with great prospects can be put down, where can such a sensible woman go?
However, Shen Xi didn't want to confine himself to the cage of learning every day.
Most of the knowledge in Shen Xi's mind is ready-made, after being reincarnated, his memory has become extremely amazing, and the books he has read can basically be unforgettable, in addition to studying the "Analects" in the school, he basically read all the four books and five classics in private, and he still reads Shiwen when he has nothing to do, combined with the experience of studying ancient texts in his previous life, especially Baguwen, or he is not familiar with the imperial examination, and he is not very sure of passing the Tongsheng examination, but this does not prevent him from multitasking.
"Aunt Sun, don't worry, I'm studying well, I get the first ...... every time I take the school assessment I won't delay my studies by doing this. Shen Xi hurriedly expressed his attitude to Hui Niang.
Zhou said: "Xiaolang, don't live up to your aunt's kindness, you don't care about the workshop in the future...... As for comic books and New Year's pictures, you can continue to draw. ”
"Yes, yes, my mother is right, I won't delay too much work in painting, it's a big deal that I won't go to the printing workshop in the future."
Shen Xi responded with his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart.
He had been keeping an eye on the workshop to make sure that there were no mistakes in the printing process. Because of their illiteracy, many people often get the pages of a comic book wrong, or turn the picture upside down. It wasn't until Shen Xi proposed to set up quality inspectors to punish sloppy and wrong guys that the quality of printing improved.
If he doesn't supervise later, those guys won't see the people in charge, and they will be confused.
The printing workshop makes a lot of money, but it is very busy, if it is not three shifts, the guys have to work for five hours a day, and they are very tired in the middle, and perfunctory is something that may occur at any time, and many of them are the same villagers or even disciples invited by the printing masters.
"Aunt Sun, I can skip the past in the future, but the workshop must find someone to watch, and there must be someone in charge of the business and accounts." Shen Xi put forward his idea.
In these years, whether it is a store or a workshop, the proprietor is usually the shopkeeper, responsible for the operation of the workshop, and the personnel accounts are grasped, after all, there is no concept of a professional manager.
Shen Xi proposed to find someone to be in charge of the workshop, just like the role played by the Zhou family now, who is also responsible for taking care of the workshop and other errands such as the shopkeeper and foreman, so as to avoid the situation of people being overworked.
Hui Niang was a little embarrassed: "It's not impossible for Xiaolang to say, but it's still too difficult to find someone who knows how to manage the workshop." If you want to ask someone, you may have to go to Fucheng to find it. ”
Shen Xi said with a smile: "Aunt Sun, you don't need to go to any mansion, just look for it in Ninghua County, you don't need him to know how to do it, you just need to be literate, know how to manage people and sort out accounts, we can hand over the printing workshop to this person to be responsible, but we must be responsible for negotiating business with the outside world." ”
Hui Niang thought about it and felt that it made sense.
The reason why she is so busy now is because she often has to run between the printing workshop and the pharmacy, and arranging such a person to the workshop can save a lot of work.
"According to what Xiaolang said, I'll ask someone to come back when I go back."
