Chapter 255: Go Further
After Haitang joined the late-night overtime team of her grandfather Haixi Cliff and her brother Haijiao, she only did miscellaneous work on the first night.
Hai Xiya felt that the overtime night with her granddaughter waiting for her was indeed much more comfortable than working hard in her cousin's house on weekdays. There is never a shortage of hot tea hot hearts, there will always be just the right shade of ink in the warm inkstone for him to use, the kang is very warm, the lights and candles are bright enough, no one will disturb him, and he doesn't have to worry about disturbing his cousin's rest. Obviously, he only worked one hour longer than before, but his efficiency almost doubled! It turns out that this is the benefit of having a caring and filial granddaughter?
Haixi Cliff accepted the addition of her granddaughter Begonia. Although he also felt sorry for the child to stay up late, Haitang repeatedly promised that he would make up for sleep during the day, and his grandmother Ma would also prepare a nutritious soup for her, so he would no longer be entangled. He began to think that after he was busy with the work of the yamen, he might be able to go home a little earlier, and start working after dinner early. With the current work efficiency of his grandparents and grandchildren, he can complete the task of auditing the accounts a few days ahead of schedule with a little more work every day. At that time, whether it is an old man like him, or two and a half children with grandchildren and grandchildren, they can really rest with peace of mind.
After making up his mind, Haixiya sped up his work every day during the day in the yamen. The newly assigned officials were a little confused, and they didn't understand why the new boss suddenly urged them to work, obviously they had been unhurried before.
Haixi Cliff claimed that Laba has arrived, and it will be a small year in half a month, and everyone will definitely be thinking about the New Year's holiday, where can they still have the heart to work? It's better to take advantage of the fact that the time is still far from the new year, and finish the important work first, and then everyone wants to desert, so as not to delay the business.
The officials suddenly realized that the new boss had thought about it quite carefully, but it was a bit too much to think about, and it was unnecessary.
When the day was approaching evening, there was still half an hour before the weekday time, but the work that should be done by his subordinates was basically done, and Haixi Cliff let everyone go home early on the grounds that today was the Laba Festival. After all, who doesn't love leaving work early?
Haixi Cliff also returned home early. Before dinner time came, he ate a big bowl of hot laba porridge, which was mixed with porridge sent by the Ma family, the Hu family, the Zhou family and the Zhenguo Mansion.
Haitang also scooped a bowl of laba porridge for his brother Haijiao, who was already hungry, and then started tonight's part-time job cliff. As for dinner? It has been sent to the big pot on the stove to be warmed, and the laba porridge is served with mutton pie, which can be eaten at any time when you are hungry. As for the official Laba feast? Don't think about it. Doesn't it take time to eat a big meal? With that effort, you can finish an account book.
Begonia smelled the tempting aroma of food coming from the main house, and quietly closed the window, so as not to disturb the work of the grandparents and grandchildren in the house.
This is the second night she has joined the Hai family's late-night overtime group. This night, she didn't just help with the handyman.
Not only did her brother continue to ask her to help look up the original sources of various data, but he also began to ask her to help copy small slips of paper and organize the words on them into a notebook, ready to take them to her cousin Xie Wenzai for reference. This is not a serious job assigned by the Zhenguo Mansion, just for the convenience of my cousin. Haijiao handed over the copying work to his sister, and although the thought of "grandson is lazy" flashed in Haixi Cliff's heart, it did not stop them.
Time is pressing, and of course serious tasks are more important!
This time, Begonia used not the handwriting of her brother Haijiao. She used her own handwriting to put pen to paper in the notebook, and wrote the words neatly and beautifully, and the paragraphs were classified, which was easy for people to look up, and she even wrote a separate index so that her cousin could find it later.
On the morning of the third day, when she delivered the notebook to her cousin in the front yard, Xie Wenzai praised her several times, saying that she had done a better job of taking notes than her brother.
However, after learning that Haijiao was so busy that he couldn't take notes in person, Xie Wenzai said: "I mentioned it in passing, just thinking that I could help the old prince and the old military division, but in fact, it doesn't matter if there is no, how can I delay their efforts to do the right thing?" You don't have to take notes today. After your grandfather and brother finish it and send the results to the Zhenguo Mansion, I will go over and watch it together, and it will be the same. ”
Haitang smiled: "It won't delay them from doing their right thing." Now I have received this messenger. I will stay in the east wing and wait for their tea, pen and ink, and I will be idle. It doesn't take much effort for me to copy a notebook, so my cousin doesn't have to feel uneasy. I also hope that you can discover Du Boqin's crime from these notes as soon as possible, and help Zhen Guogong arrest him as soon as possible, so that my grandfather, brother and I will not waste the hard work of staying up late these days. ”
Xie Wenzai said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best!" ”
He felt the pressure in his heart, not only would he go to the Zhenguo Mansion every day during the day to meet the old military division and listen to new information, even at home, he kept thinking about the stack of notes, and even pulled Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian to use their brains together, combining the information revealed in the account books, combined with the information heard by the latter two from outside, to speculate and analyze the evidence of Du Boqin's crimes.
On the evening of the third day, Begonia began to help the reef calculate some of the accounts.
At that time, Haixi Cliff was finishing a very cumbersome account, and his mind was rising, so he temporarily put down his pen, took a sip of tea, and closed his eyes to recuperate. When he heard the sound of abacus beads coming from two directions, he couldn't help but open his eyes in surprise, and then he found that his granddaughter was also helping to settle the account.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw his grandson's haggard appearance with messy hair and black eye circles, and then looked at the two large boxes of account books on the inside of the big kang that had not yet been settled, he still didn't open his mouth after all.
He and his grandson were so tired that they could only sleep two or three hours a night. He can still take a nap in the yamen, but his grandson is busy at home from morning to night, and he almost never even leaves the door. The child is working so hard, what's wrong with just asking my sister to help calculate it? The granddaughter's abacus is also very good, and if you look closely, she has never made any mistakes. With such a skill, it is more than enough to do some approval work, and it will not delay things, so why should he talk too much?
The child is just a filial heart!
Haixi Cliff once again acquiesced to Begonia's approach. He didn't notice that the reef and begonia were quietly watching his reaction. Seeing that he calmly accepted his granddaughter's participation, the brother and sister exchanged glances, and they were secretly happy.
At the beginning of the fourth day, Begonia officially took over part of the accounting work. She's only responsible for half the reef and it's a relatively unimportant account, but it's a huge improvement for her.
The brother and sister divided their labor and worked on their own, and when Haixi Ya returned home from the yamen in the evening, Haitang had already calculated four or five accounts, and the efficiency was not much worse than that of the reef. Even if he tried to stop it, it would be too late.
Obviously, she had acquiesced to her granddaughter to help with the accounts, but now that Haitang has gone one step further and officially participated in the audit, it doesn't seem to be too much.
Sometimes, people's bottom line is broken step by step.
Hai Xiya thought that the general had come to him on Thursday today to inquire about the progress of the audit, so he couldn't open his mouth to reprimand his granddaughter.
Time is urgent, and the task is urgent. Isn't it a good thing that your own children want to help?
As long as the child does his job well and makes no mistakes, he can help him send the audit results to the Zhenguo Mansion as soon as possible, who is involved in it, and who cares?
