Chapter 76

With Li Da's assurance, Ye Lan was naturally relieved, on the other hand, Mao Da knew that Ye Lan sent six younger brothers to the school, two younger brothers went to the kitchen, and two younger brothers went to the city to buy things, he couldn't help but be very grateful to Ye Lan, he also thought that Ye Lan would arrange heavy work for them to do, but Ye Lan treated them equally and even sent the younger brothers into the school to prevent them from working and to eat and live, this kindness, he remembered it deeply.

After lunch and resting for a while, everyone went to work again, and the Li family was cleaning up the kitchen, and Jinhua came back with a cart full of things and two boys, and drove the carriage into the yard,

"Ye Lan, we're back."

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Jinhua, have you eaten?"

"No, I don't."

"I've got food for you in the kitchen, so let's go eat it." Ye Lan beckoned to the three of them.

"Don't worry, take the things down first."

"Jinhua doesn't need you to be busy, just come here." Li took two women out to take over the work of Jinhua.

Seeing this, Jinhua had no choice but to laugh, "Then it's bothering you." ”

He handed over the rest of the money to Ye Lan, and returned the shopping slip to her, which recorded every expense, and then took the two hungry boys into the kitchen to eat.

Ye Lan asked the three of the Li family to help take out all the things that should be taken, put them in the places where they should be placed, leave them to buy quilts and sheets, and when the two boys finished eating, call them.

"Are you eleven or fourteen?"

"Yes, little boss." Mao Eleven and Mao Fourteen nodded.

"I bought these quilts and sheets, so you can take them back and use them." In addition to the few beds that Mao Da brought them, the villagers bought five beds before, and now there are fifteen beds here, which can almost make Mao Da and them have a quilt per person.

Mao Shiyi and Mao Shiwei glanced at each other in surprise, the two of them moved their lips, said thank you, and then went back and forth to their temporary home with the quilt and sheet.

In a blink of an eye, a few more days have passed, the month has arrived, and the first day is the day when Ye Lan is ready to pay her salary, and this is only twenty-two days after she signed the contract with the long-term workers, so when Ye Lan announced the salary after eating at noon, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Little boss, are you mistaken, we signed a contract with you in less than a month." Li Da kindly reminded Ye Lan.

"I know, so today only the wages of the last month from the days after signing the contract, and the first day of each month will be set as a fixed wage payment day, do you have any opinions?" Ye Lan looked at everyone with a smile.

After a short silence, everyone immediately burst into laughter, and said again and again that they had no opinions, and they were used to settling wages every day, and suddenly it became a month, and everyone was a little unaccustomed to it.

"First pay long-term wages, last month signed the contract began to count, a total of 22 days, halfway everyone rested for a day, according to our agreement, you can rest for two days a month, so, I will give you 23 days of wages, a month of 500 Wen, 30 days, calculated, the daily salary should be between 16 and 17 Wen, I will give you 17 Wen, 23 days, is 391 Wen, now, I call whoever name, who will come to receive the money, the first, Jinhua."

"I'm the first? Hehe, that's great. Jin Hua happily walked to the opposite side of Ye Lan, Qiao Zi took out 391 money and handed it to Jin Hua, Ye Lan took a pen and put a tick on the back of Jin Hua's name,

"The second, Li Qingqing......"

The order of payment is mainly in the order in which everyone signed the contract, Qiao Zi used the thread to wear 391 yuan in advance, and then handed it over to receive the salary, which was quite fast.

Dozens of long-term workers have finished paying their wages, followed by the short-term workers, the short-term workers only did 21 days last month, 20 wen a day, each person can receive 441 yuan, plus 10 to 50 yuan rewards, everyone received the money, they all smiled, Ye Lan looked at the long-term workers with some envy and looked at the short-term workers, presumably because they were paid more than themselves, and they were a little red-eyed, and said with a smile,

"Don't be envious of long-term workers, your rewards will be paid at the end of the year, and they will not be less than short-term workers."

Thinking about it, it is impossible to sign a long-term contract with Ye Lan and earn less than a short-term job, if so, who would be willing to give her a long-term job?

After figuring it out, the long-term workers are no longer envious of the short-term workers, and now there are still four months before the Chinese New Year, so I am looking forward to it, I don't know how much Ye Lan will send to everyone at that time.

After all the wages were paid, Ye Lan stood up and looked at everyone, "Today is the first time that the salary is paid once a month, so I will start work early in the afternoon. ”

The so-called packing up is to put the tools used for farming back to the place where they should be placed, and the workers happily collected their things and took the money home.

Very, there were only Ye Lan's mother and daughter Mao Da and others left in the entire courtyard, Ye Lan looked at them, "You can also rest for a long time, you can go back." ”

"Little, little boss, I, I want to discuss something with you." Several people led by Mao Da Mao Er pushed each other, and then Mao Er stood up and looked at Ye Lan with some squeak.

"What's the matter?" Ye Lan looked at Mao Da silently.

Mao Da looked at his toes, a little embarrassed and said, "We want to ask, do the little boss still want to work for a long time, these days with the small boss to work, we all feel that the past life is too much of a bastard, we all want to reform the surface and redo people, we will work hard, the little boss can also accept us as long-term workers, we are not very demanding, as long as there is food and shelter, and a few younger brothers can continue to study in the current school, we will definitely work hard, even if we don't want to pay, we are also willing." ”

Because Mao Da and others have no place to cook, and there is nothing to cook, so although Ye Lan only packs a lunch for the workers, she will prepare dinner for Mao Da and others, although Mao Da and others came here, it was the villagers who punished them and asked them to work for Ye Lan for free for a month, but Ye Lan did not treat them badly at all, gave them a house to live in, bought them quilts, and let the younger brothers who wanted to study go to study, and the younger brothers who wanted to learn to cook learned to cook, Mao Da and the others were not fools, they could see what Ye Lan did to them, originally thinking about discussing with Ye Lan after a month passed, if they could let them stay.

After so many years, they have not eaten a few meals, nor have they lived such a stable life, and the existing individuals can give them a stable life, and they are not willing to be thieves anymore.

Originally, I thought that everyone would behave well and wait for a month to bring up this matter, but I didn't expect Ye Lan to pay her salary in advance, I didn't expect Ye Lan to pay everyone so much, even those top two families in Northern City, and only a few maids and servants have a slightly higher salary, as far as they know, low-grade rough girls are only 20 yuan a month, and this is actually Ye Lan's daily salary for short-term workers.

Seeing that everyone was smiling and receiving their wages, the Mao Dayi Gan brothers couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately begged the boss to tell them their plans in advance, hoping that Ye Lan would be kind enough to keep everyone.

Mao Da is also a smart person, although he just saw that the wages of long-term workers are not as much as those of short-term workers, but Ye Lan made it clear that the rewards of long-term workers will be issued at the end of the year, and they will definitely not be worse than short-term workers, so he directly said that he wants to do long-term work, as for what does not pay wages and the like are just kind words, he can see that Ye Lan is not a boss who will deduct workers' wages, on the contrary, she is very generous, of course, the premise is that you have to get her approval, Mao Da believes that as long as they behave well, Ye Lan will not treat them badly, this is the observation of these days and what Ye Lan has done for them and came to the conclusion.

When Mao Da and a group of brothers first came to Jinxiu Village, the villagers were a little worried, but in the past few days, everyone has shown surprises, except for a few children who are studying, the rest, no matter what work they are assigned to do, they are very profitable, even if it is very hard work, they will not complain unexpectedly, these villagers are very simple, plus Mao Da and others are interested in making friends, in just a few days, Mao Da and others do not say that they have become very good friends with the villagers, but at least, everyone has goodwill towards them, if they want to stay, The villagers would welcome them.

Mao Da and the others' attitude, Ye Lan naturally looked at it, she originally planned to observe for a month, if Mao Da and the others could endure hardships, and were willing to quit stealing, if they were willing to stay, she was also very willing, but she didn't expect Mao Da to take the initiative to bring it up.

Seeing that Ye Lan didn't speak, Mao Da suddenly became nervous in his heart, looked up and wanted to look at Ye Lan, but unexpectedly saw Qiao Zi standing next to Ye Lan, and suddenly lowered his head as if he had been burned by fire, every time he saw Qiao Zi, he had a feeling of heartbeat, not that he was too sexy, but that the person opposite was too beautiful, so that people couldn't control their heartbeat, and the only thing he could do was to avoid it.

"Do you really want to stay and work as a long-term worker?" Finally, Ye Lan spoke.

"Well, we'll work hard." Mao Dalian nodded in agreement.

Ye Lan looked at Mao Da and the others, even if they were old and Mao Da, she was just a big boy in her heart, if they were really willing to change their ways, she was also willing to lend a helping hand.

"It's not impossible to want to be a long-term worker, but I'll see how you perform first, now, you can be a short-term worker first, and when I think you can be a long-term worker, I will talk to you about the contract again."

I was a little uneasy in my heart Mao Da and the others were stunned when they heard Ye Lan's words, and after a long while, Mao Da found his voice,

"Little boss, do you agree?"

"If you don't behave well, I will fire you at any time, during the period when you work for me, those children who study still continue to study, free, among you, if anyone is interested in reading, you can also ask Mr. when you are interested, Mr. is from our village, please come back, usually everyone can ask him if you have questions, he will be happy to teach you." Ye Lan warned.

"Don't worry, we will not disappoint the expectations of the little boss." Mao Da surprised Ye Lan, and then turned around, and couldn't help but hug and cheer with his younger brothers.

"Lan'er, do you really want to use them?" Looking at the cheers and cheers, Qiao Zi never had much good feelings, a thief is a thief, can he really change it?

"No one is born a thief, and if they have the ability to earn money with their own hands to support their families and live a stable life, I believe they will not choose to be thieves again." Ye Lan looked back at Qiao Zi, she had wandered for many years, and she had seen many thieves, some people chose to be thieves because they were simply lazy and wanted to take advantage, but some people were indeed forced by life.

Mao Da and others, after a few days of observation, it is not that they can't endure hardship, which shows that they are not incorrigible, and now they offer to be her long-term worker, doesn't it show that they are willing to make money and live with their own hands?

If it is a lazy person, Ye Lan can see at a glance that such a person will not care if she begs her to accept her, but if it is another kind of person, or that sentence, within the scope of her ability, why not help them?

Qiao Zi was also a kind-hearted person, her opposition was mainly for fear of luring wolves into the house, but now when she heard her daughter say this, she thought about it and felt that it made sense, anyway, this family was already in charge of her daughter.

"That's it, it's up to you."

"Thank you, mother." Ye Lan thanked Qiao Zi softly.

After Mao Da and the others were excited, they were grateful to Dade for looking at Ye Lan's mother and daughter, and swore again and again that they would be good people in the future and would not live up to Ye Lan's trust.

"Alright, you all go back and rest in the afternoon." Ye Lan waved her hand and motioned for them to go back.

Mao Da and others left the yard after hearing the words, they didn't have to go to work in the afternoon, and they were very excited now, if they went back to their place, next to them were the children in class, and they couldn't make a big noise, everyone needed a place to vent, Mao Er proposed,

"Why don't we go up the hill and play."

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately supported by everyone, and after saying it again and again, Mao Da saw that everyone's interest was high, and he slapped the board with a wave of his hand, "Okay, let's go up the mountain to play." ”

The mountain behind Splendid Village, now renamed Qiao Mountain, although it is Ye Lan's private background, but Ye Lan said that everyone can go up the mountain casually, as long as they do not wreak havoc on the mountain, everything else is easy to discuss.

When Mao Da and the others went up the mountain, there was a ghost shout, which frightened the small animals inside and fled in panic, not knowing what was going on.

After sending everyone away, Ye Lan returned to the room, sorted out the account books, and then made a detailed plan for this month's work, Qiao Zi looked at a book borrowed from Zhang Xiucai next to her, the two mothers and daughters did not speak, the room was very quiet, and occasionally made some sounds, although it was quiet but warm.

"Anyone?"

There was a sudden shout outside the courtyard gate, Ye Lan and Qiao Zi raised their heads and glanced at each other, very unfamiliar voices, it shouldn't be looking for them.

"Anyone?"

Just as he was thinking about it, someone made another noise and knocked on the door, Qiao Zi put down the book and walked out, "I'll take a look, it seems to be knocking on our door." ”

"Who are you looking for?" A gorgeous carriage was parked outside the yard, and a groom knocked on his door, Qiao Zi opened the door and did not lock the courtyard door, looking at the groom curiously.

When Leng Buding saw a beauty, the groom gasped, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he forgot to reply for a while.

"Who are you looking for?" Seeing Ma Fu's eyes, Qiao Zi's voice immediately turned cold.

"Sister Qiao, what's going on?" Hearing the voice, Jin Hua walked out curiously.

"You're Madame Joe?" Jinhua appeared to bring the groom back to his senses, and hurriedly asked.

"Yes."

"We want to see you." Seeing that although the clothes on Qiao Zi's body are good, they are a lot worse than their own master, even if they are beauties, they are not as good as their own masters, thinking so, the horseman's sense of superiority immediately returned, and he looked at Qiao Zi arrogantly.

"Who is your young lady?"

"Miss of my family, is the eldest lady of the Beigong family." The Beigong family is the first family in the north, the eldest lady of the Beigong family, the status is equal to that of the head of the Beigong family, the groom proudly introduced it, waiting for Qiao Zi to show an exaggerated and stammering look, even if she is a beauty, but her background is poor, and when she sees her master, she still has to nod her head.

After all, Qiao Zi is not a native of the northern realm, she is not particularly concerned about the affairs of the northern city, and she does not pay much attention to some things, seeing the arrogant appearance of the horseman, she turned around curiously and looked at the same surprised Jinhua,

"Jinhua, the eldest lady of the Beigong family, who is it?"
