On this day, it was busy until the middle of the moon, the temple fair gradually came to an end, the store door was closed, Yang Zhao lit three red candles, the sudden flames illuminated the small shop, all the employees were exhausted and sat against the wall, but their faces and eyes were red by candlelight, filled with irrepressible joy, today is payday, no matter how long the days are, there will be wages to take, the owner also promised, if the business is good, this bonus is also indispensable.

Li Qing in the opening of the store soon developed a simple staff salary system, no rules, not into a circle, no effective incentive mechanism, his employees will not play the greatest initiative, Li Qing fine, but that is just his previous life as an accountant of the professional instinct, on the other side he is a person who can do big things, he will carefully calculate every copper, but can generously throw out thousands of gold, he knows that and the family's bi, out of the stone, ordinary people as long as they can use it properly, may not be able to lift big things, so he is never stingy with his employees, The starting point of the remuneration is much higher than that of ordinary shops.

In addition to the normal salary, there is also an annuity, that is, if you do it for one more year, you can get an additional 100 yuan per month, which is considered a reward for old employees, in addition to bonuses and benefits, which depends on the quality of performance.

Yang Zhao is special, the implementation is a daily wage, yesterday he was unlucky, lost 500 Wen, today will be turned back, so he got the money and immediately slipped away. At this time, Li Qing was sitting in the inner room to settle accounts for Pei Rou, the atmosphere in the room was weird, hot and cold, Pei Rou's eyes were hot, and she threw a ball of fire at the owner without concealment, her body was already burning hot, just a spark, she would burst out with thousands of enthusiasm, completely devouring Li Qing, in her memory, no man could resist the charm of his body.

Li Qing was unmoved, he already had two beautiful girls in his room, and he Li Qing was satisfied. At this moment, he only bowed his head to calculate Pei Rou's salary, and seeing that Pei Rou was unrepentant, he was really troubled in his heart.

"Sister-in-law, since you came, the business of popsicles has gradually become popular, it can be seen that you are spicy and capable, I have the heart to use you, but you also make it really difficult for me to be like this, I have a marriage contract with Curtain Er in advance, how do you let me explain to Curtain Er, and how do you let me get along with my eldest brother, now here are you and me, I will tell you directly! If you can treat me politely, I will be promoted to the manager of the ice drink shop after I go to Chengdu, what do you think? ”

Li Qing finally made her mind relieved, and took this opportunity to make her words clear, not only to break her mind, but also to untie the knot with Yang Zhao.

Sure enough, Li Qing's words made Pei Rou's face swell crimson, and then a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, her purpose of seducing Li Qing was just for money and status, and now Li Qing poured her a basin of cold water first, and gave her an unexpected joy, she was really surprised and ashamed, happy and bitter, and she felt all kinds of feelings, she got up in shame and said: "The owner is a righteous man and a gentleman, Pei Rou knows that she is wrong." In an instant, she smiled charmingly, her face was solemn, and she was like two people just now.

Li Qingchang breathed a long sigh of relief, took out a blue cloth bag from his feet and gave it to Pei Rou and said: "Since I call you sister-in-law, I don't want to settle accounts with you carefully, here are five yuan and five taels of silver, in addition to giving you ten days' wages, even if it is a thank you gift from me and Lian'er to your husband and wife, I usually treat Brother Yang a little harshly, but that is also a matter of no way, please tell Brother Yang and ask him to bear with me." ”

Pei Rou took over the heavy burden, grateful in her heart, people didn't care about that incident at all, and took the initiative to reconcile, but her husband didn't know what to do, and she wanted to wait for the opportunity to move again, and her character was really low, although she was debauched, she also knew how to be polite, and secretly thought in her heart: "It seems that you really have to persuade your husband when you go back, everyone is harmonious and wealthy, what's wrong." ”

"Uncle's heart, Pei Rou has received it, I will definitely persuade you Brother Yang to let him do things with peace of mind!"

Looking at Pei Rou's back, Li Qing's eyes were complicated, even if this knot was solved, it was really not easy to get along with Yang Guozhong! The room was cold, but he suddenly found that his back was a little wet.

After a while, his mind retracted, his eyes fell on the name of the last person, but his brows were twisted, he shook his head helplessly, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Sister Song! ”

Song Mei is the woman who does rough work, in her early thirties, her face is yellow, she is a widow, but she has three children, she comes to work in the store during the day, and the three children are locked up at home, the eldest of the children is eight years old, is a girl, although there are many daughters of wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty can also read and write, but she is definitely not among them, she wants to take care of her younger siblings, she must stay at home, speaking of their home, it is just a small broken thatched hut, eating, sleeping, and urine, all in it, the second is a boy is five years old, The youngest girl is only three years old, a family of four depends on Song Mei to wash clothes for people to survive, and she can't earn 100 yuan a month, life is really difficult, in order to save a few vegetable money every day, she takes three children to the market to pick up vegetable leaves while it is dark, sometimes the boy wants to eat meat and shouts fiercely, Song Mei will slap him hard, and then the four mothers will hug each other and cry bitterly, a family without a man is the most unfortunate in the world.

Since her cousin Zhang Wang introduced her to Li Qing's small shop to do rough work, she can earn 50 wen a day, and 500 wen a month, although the money has not been obtained, but there is hope for life, so Song Mei also cherishes this job very much, comes early and leaves late every day, and works very hard, but she is stupid, destroys a lot of things, and advances 300 yuan, so although Song Mei is very happy today, she is a little uneasy in her heart, and she doesn't know how much she can get.

Hearing the proprietor call her, she immediately stood up and walked into the room, her heart was so nervous that she seemed to jump out, standing in front of Li Qing indifferently, her two hands twisted together, Li Qing glanced at her, turned the account page twice, her brows couldn't help frowning a little, she took the abacus and cracked for a while, and then sighed and said: "You have only been here for fourteen days, and you have broken sixty bowls, three teapots, and ten fine fine jars, why are you so careless?" ”

"I didn't break it later." She replied in a low voice, as thin as a mosquito's voice.

Li Qing shook his head and said: "If you are not careful, I will not use you again, although the curtain intercedes for you, but the rules of the store are clearly written, you are the first offender, and you must not be abolished, these bowls and pots you have to pay, can you recognize it?" ”

"Yes!"

"I'm not too much, even if you pay at half price, you will have to pay a total of 230 Wen, plus the 300 Wen you advanced, so your final salary is only 220 Wen." Li Qing took out two hangs of money from the money jar, counted out twenty loose coins, put them in a blue cloth pocket and handed them to her, "You have ordered, if it is correct, press a handprint here." ”

Song Mei's face turned pale, only two hundred and twenty wen, she still wanted to buy a few clothes for the children in the morning, and buy a few catties of meat, but in this way, all hope was in vain, how to explain to the children when she went back, her heart was like a knife, she took the money tremblingly, and pressed her handprint with a gloomy expression, and turned to leave, but Li Qing stopped her: "It's not over yet!" Why do you want to leave? ”

"Does the owner still want to deduct my money?" Instinctively, she took a step back and clenched the blue cloth pocket, if she deducted any more money, she would not even have the money to buy rice.

"Who said I'm going to deduct your money!" He took out a red cloth bag from under his feet and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "I paid you a salary just now, and this is a bonus for you, you can open it and see for yourself." ”

"Do I have a bonus too?" Song Mei couldn't believe her ears.

"Absolutely!" Li Qingxiao Mimi took out another cloth bag and said, "There are three other clothes in it, which were bought by the curtain for your child, let's take them together!" ”

After hesitating for a long time, Song Mei finally took the bag, only to feel that her hand sank, and she almost didn't hold it steadily, she didn't dare to open it, she only glanced at it from the gap in the bag, and it was full of yellow copper coins, not to mention that there were two times.

"Thank you, proprietor!" Song Mei's plop! Kneeling on the ground, Li Qing kowtowed desperately: "The proprietor is a living Bodhisattva, and the proprietor is a good person!" ”

Li Qing only felt that the corners of his eyes were a little sour, and he waved his hand sharply and said, "Get up!" You work hardest, so give you more, as long as you work hard in the future, you mother and daughter will live a good life, collect the money, and I'll let the carriage take you home later. ”
