"The Midyear Festival is coming, do we have any customs for this festival?"

Cheng Yangyang sat in a circle with the female workers in charge of packaging in the duck factory, and chatted with them.

"We don't have any customs in the countryside, don't we just go to the village to worship our ancestors, unlike people in the city, who put river lanterns and play music by the river, we don't have that spare money. ”

"Do you still want to put river lanterns?" she knew that there was a sacrifice during the Midyear Festival, but she didn't know that there was still a saying about putting lanterns.

"Cheng girl, if you want to go and see, I will take my younger brothers and sisters to the city to have a look during the Midyear Festival", the villagers persuaded her, anyway, she has money, and she has a shop in the city, so she doesn't have to stay in the village.

"No, I'm just asking", she wasn't that interested, she might as well have a good rest when she had that time.

Although she has the help of people from Wangjia Village and Liujia Village, she is already dizzy just for attending classes and keeping accounts, and it seems that the clerical job is not a comfortable job.

Especially now that there are more workers, there are more types of work, those who spend money and those who collect money, that is, accounts that are too small to be small, she has to do it, this day, she has now practiced the ability to keep pen and paper on her body.

Two days later, it was the tenth day of the new year, and she had to go to the city two days in advance, and after reconciling with Liu Dong, she could pay Liujia Village's salary.

For the first time in Liujia Village, someone will get a share, and they are looking forward to it, and Cheng Yangyang must also be very cautious.

"Boss Cheng, this is an invitation letter from various stores in the city, are you still not going?"

After Liu Dong and Cheng Yangyang reconciled last month's accounts, they took out a large stack of invitations from a drawer and gave them to her, and they had often received this kind of thing since their Cheng family shop began to occupy a place in the city.

At the beginning, Cheng Yangyang would take a look at those things, but then he didn't look at them again.

What is written above is nothing more than who invited her to sit in the house and so on, for various reasons, but judging from the writing, those who invited her did not really invite her.

It is estimated that she took a fancy to her business and wanted a piece of the pie.

"No, they're so idle!"

Cheng Yangyang was so tired that she stretched her waist, it wasn't long before dawn, she closed the account book, her eyes were sour, and she went directly into Liu Dong's room to sleep.

Liu Dong also put away the account book in the store, turned off the lights, prepared a pillow by himself, and fell asleep on the chair in the store.

They now have to reconcile the accounts overnight, and the time for Cheng Yangyang to go back and forth in a day is no longer enough, and it is often late at night after the accounts are reconciled, and they are used to it.

At dawn the next day, Cheng Yangyang had breakfast in the city, and then went out of the city and went directly to Liujia Village.

For the first time, when Cheng Yangyang came to Liujia Village, it was not them who were waiting for her, but she was waiting for them.

Since the watermelons went on the market, the people in the village have been helping to collect the watermelons, every day, and after the harvest, they will send them to the city twice a day, otherwise there will not be enough goods for those stores.

No, it was already afternoon when she arrived in Liujia Village, and Liu Wei and the others were still collecting watermelons in the field, and they had to leave the village before evening and send them to the city overnight.

"Miss Cheng is here!" Everyone saw Cheng Yangyang coming, and then they remembered that today was the day of the salary, "By the way, the monthly payment will be made today!"

"Everyone has worked hard", Cheng Yangyang put down the basket and wanted to go into the melon field to help, but was stopped by Village Chief Liu.

"You don't need to touch your hands, we'll finish it soon, you go to my house first and wait for us, and when you're thirsty, let my mother-in-law cut watermelon for you to eat!"

When it comes to eating watermelon, there is always a sense of pride in their tone, and every time they return to the village, they will tell everyone how popular the watermelon is in the city, and how many people in the city like it, so they are naturally proud.

"Okay, then I'll go over and count the silver for everyone first!" Cheng Yangyang generously accepted their kindness.

"Let's go!"

Cheng Yangyang came to the courtyard of the village chief's house, and the village chief's daughter-in-law cut a watermelon for her, the watermelon is getting sweeter and sweeter, she is an old melon eater in her previous life, and she still has a soft spot for watermelon, let alone the Nanyi people who eat melons for the first time.

This time, not only the monthly money for the family that grows fruits, but also the additional wages of the people who help with the delivery, and the share of watermelons, she divided them one by one.

Since Liujia Village was still busy working in the fields, she had time, so she asked the village chief's daughter-in-law to get a handful of dry straw, and used the dry straw to string the copper plates, so that she was not afraid of scattering and mixing.

Before Cheng Yang had finished counting half of the money, he heard a lively sound at the bottom of the mountain, and it was the villagers of Liujia Village who came back from the field.

They didn't go back to their house, they came directly, and when they saw Cheng Yangyang taking dry straw and stringing silver, they quipped: "Look at Miss Cheng, she doesn't want to pay attention to money, and it is estimated that only Miss Cheng can do it with straw rope and silver!"

When Cheng Yangyang heard this, he just smiled and responded to them, "Who made us all earn more and more money, and the rope for stringing silver at home is not enough." ”

"Come on, let's finish it early, everyone go home early for dinner", Cheng Yangyang finished the string in his hand, raised his head and began to read the name, and read the name one by one to get the money.

After the basic monthly money was distributed, she asked Village Chief Liu for a list of delivery people, and settled it by trip.

Village Chief Liu really tried his best to be fair and just, and the young men in the village were basically arranged, and they took turns to deliver goods, day and night.

Delivery is a small amount of money, and the later sharing is the main thing.

"Because the watermelons were only sold in the last few days of June, now only the watermelons will be distributed for those few days, and I hope Uncle Liu Wei don't worry. ”

She explained to the families who grew watermelons that she was afraid that they would be suspicious of what she had said because they didn't get much money.

"We know, we believe Miss Cheng!" Liu Wei's father already has two copies of money in his hand, one is the basic monthly money, and the other is Liu Wei's delivery money.

Liu Wei went to deliver the goods again just now, so he helped Liu Wei take it.

"Last month, the watermelons were sold for four days, twenty carts a day, and the profit was divided into almost four dollars of silver, so I will give you four dollars, and the average share of your households is 800 yuan. ”

Cheng Yangyang handed the money to the five families who planted watermelons, and they were all excited when they got the money, "What?

They still can't believe it when they get the money, this is the share of four days, if it is July, then they can't get more?

"Yo, there are 800 Wen in four days, which is really a lot!" The others who didn't get the share were also stunned when they heard this number, they couldn't earn 800 Wen by cutting down an acre of trees!

"yes, I'm so envious!"

When they planted other fruit trees, when they saw that the fruit trees in the field were not bearing fruit, they guarded a tree with green leaves on its top, and when they all wondered if it was a fruit tree, they saw that the watermelon planters had been divided, and they looked forward to their own fruit trees.
