Chapter 113 All the money earned is given to the daughter-in-law
The diners who didn't eat the wontons left with regret on their faces and decided to come over early tomorrow to try them.
A few cents for a wonton with meat can be expensive for rural people who earn only a few cents a day.
But for wage workers, the price is fair, after all, it is a big bone broth and meat, and there are free side dishes, and a bowl of egg noodles in a state-run restaurant costs 5 cents.
After sorting out all the things in the second courtyard, the family gathered in the hall of the main courtyard, and Father Song smiled and put the money box on the table.
"69 small portions were sold, 31 medium portions, and 12 large portions." Father Song has a good memory, and every time he makes wontons, he clearly remembers the number.
"It is estimated that the medium and large portions will be sold more tomorrow." Tang Xiaoxiao said.
After all, the small portions are small, and the batch that went to work today are all with the mentality of trying, basically all of them have small portions, and the large portions are all bought according to their own food consumption.
Father Song poured the money from the money box on the table, everyone counted the change together, and Father Song put the five yuan change that had been prepared in the money box back into the money box.
"It's a total of 51 yuan and 5 cents, Xiaoxiao, this money is for you." Song's father put the money in front of his daughter-in-law.
"Dad, this is the money you and your mother earned, how can you give it to me?" Tang Xiaoxiao waved her hand again and again, she couldn't ask for this money.
"Why can't I give it to you? Your mother and I only have one child, Jingyi, and this money will be yours in the future, not to mention that the money to buy meat and white flour is also taken by you? Father Song said solemnly.
But ...... "Isn't this her in-laws working for her?" The kind that doesn't have a salary yet.
"This is what your father told me when he was in his hometown, Xiaoxiao, take it quickly." Mother Song put the money in the hands of her daughter-in-law.
Tang Xiaoxiao was at a loss to hold the money in his hand, kicked Song Jing's foot, and motioned for him to speak.
"Daddy gives it to you, and you take it." He said with a smile, "In the future, you can also send some pocket money to your father and mother every month." ”
"No pocket money, your father and I still have money." Before the young couple got married, they still had some money in hand, and in the past two years, they earned their own work, and they didn't touch the pension money given by the young couple.
After Song's father gave birth to a child from his daughter-in-law, he even quit smoking, and the old couple usually had no expenses, but now they come to the city to eat and live with their son and daughter-in-law, and there is no expense.
"Then it's the same as before, give ten yuan a month." Father Song knew his daughter-in-law's character, and if he didn't want it at all, she wouldn't agree.
Tang Xiaoxiao saw that the old couple and his own man said this, so he didn't say anything more, but thought in his heart that he would compensate his in-laws from other aspects.
"Wife, how much did we earn today?" Song Jingzhi looked at Tang Xiaoxiao, he only knew how much he spent on buying meat and big bones this morning.
"Remove all of them, about thirty-two dollars." She thought for a moment and said.
"How much?" The sip of water that Song's father was about to drink almost didn't squirt out, he thought that after the cost, it would be good to have more than 20 yuan, but he didn't expect there to be so much.
"I'm obedient, this is enough to catch up with a worker's salary for a month." Mother Song said while holding her chest.
"Otherwise, let's go to the hall." Song Jingzhi proposed.
He can't take a vacation every day, the children have to be watched in the morning, and his little daughter-in-law has mentioned that when the children go to the red class next year, she wants to do her own thing.
"Yes, I have to ask for one." Father Song agrees with this.
Don't look at the daughter-in-law who only needs to serve wontons and clean up the dishes and chopsticks in the morning, this trip down is tiring enough.
Tang Xiaoxiao thought about having to hire someone who could help clean up the dishwashing spoon in addition to running the hall.
In the afternoon, she went to the house of the original owner's uncle, who had lived here for a long time and knew many people.
"Uncle, excuse me." She brought her uncle a bottle of bean curd made by Mother Song, and in the morning she observed that the uncle liked it very much.
"Yo, Xiao Tang is here, come here, bring something." Uncle said with a smile.
"My mother-in-law made it herself, and it's not expensive." She smiled and placed the bottle on the table.
"Uncle, we want to find a runner in the store, and by the way, a worker who can help clean up the dishes, do you think there is a suitable one nearby?" She explained her intentions.
The uncle thought for a moment, "There is such a person, who is not more than 17 years old, and he is also a poor child, I don't know if you want it." ”
After listening to what the uncle said, Tang Xiaoxiao wanted to go and see this young man.
The boy's name is Peng Yu, his father was a transport driver, and he was paralyzed in a car accident a few years ago.
There is also a 12-year-old sister and an 8-year-old brother at home, who are supported by him as a teenager.
"Although the transportation company lost some money, but one of the three children paralyzed in bed, how can it be used, this child dropped out of school before finishing junior high school, but he has been providing for his younger siblings to study." Uncle sighed.
"You also know that the work in our city has indicators, and at his age and diploma, he can't find a good job, so he can only go to the construction site to do temporary work."
Tang Xiaoxiao followed his uncle to Peng Yu's house, Peng Yu's family lived in a miscellaneous courtyard in the alley, a courtyard with two entrances, and eight families lived.
It can be seen that Peng Yu's family was in good condition before his father's accident, and the family occupied three rooms.
The uncle took Tang Xiaoxiao to greet the uncles and aunts in the yard along the way, and finally came to the backyard where Peng Yu's house was located.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a dusty teenager fetching water and washing his hands by the well.
"Peng Yu." The uncle shouted.
The young man turned around and smiled, "Uncle Liu, you wait for me." He quickly washed it and dusted it off with a towel.
"Uncle Liu, let's go into the house and talk." The young man welcomed the uncle and Tang Xiaoxiao into the hall.
Tang Xiaoxiao silently looked at the house, although there was no furniture, but it was very clean.
"You've just come back from the construction site, haven't you?" Uncle asked.
Peng Yu nodded.
"Xiaoyu, is your Uncle Liu here?" A voice came from the room on the left, it was Peng Yu's father.
"I'm here to talk to Xiaoyu about something, and I'll come in and see you later." The uncle said to the room.
"This Comrade Xiao Tang is the one who bought my courtyard, and her in-laws opened a wonton shop in the second courtyard."
"Hello, my name is Peng Yu." He greeted Tang Xiaoxiao politely first, "I know, I saw you when I went out this morning." ”
"I want to find a runner and a worker who can help clean the dishes, the time is from half past five in the morning, before noon, the salary is 25 yuan, and you are willing to do it?" In fact, Tang Xiaoxiao's original plan was 20 yuan, and the other 5 yuan was added by her.
