Chapter 747 Missing My Son
The steamed bun fell, Xiduo wanted to pick it up, but her hand was shaking, she didn't dare to reach out, her body trembled.

Unexpectedly, the steward only said in a warm voice: "Pick it up, if it's dirty, throw it in the slop bucket over there, if it's not dirty, you can continue to eat, don't waste it."

He said to the people in the cafeteria: "It is important to know that food is hard to come by, so don't waste it. Many people outside still don't have enough to eat."

"Yes." Everyone in the cafeteria agreed.

Xiduo also hurriedly picked up the half steamed bun that fell on the ground, patted it, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was not dirty.

Turning her head quietly, she shrank back in fright when she saw that the manager was still looking at her.

The manager smiled, "The cafeteria provides you with a meal at noon to keep you full, so as not to delay your afternoon work. Although you are full, you are not allowed to take it with you."

Xiduo trembled in fright, the person in charge must have found out.

"Steward, I don't dare anymore." She pulled her hands into her arms.

"Don't do this next time." The female steward didn't say anything to her.

Xiduo sat back on the stool, looked at the steamed buns in the rice bowl, and felt a little regretful that grandma and younger brother could not eat such fine grains.

"Really, sister won't lie to you."

Huo Xi looked at her with a smile: "You are rich and powerful, and you have misused money. You can make decisions for your family."

The granddaughter left her for the first time, alone outside.I don't know if she made a mistake or if she will be beaten by the manager.Do you have lunch at noon, and will you work on an empty stomach?

I just want to go back to my home right away and show grandma, she earned 32 Wen today!That's more than Grandma earns in a day.My eyes are swollen, I want to cry.

When it was time to get off work, I took my grandson and waited early at the entrance of the alley.Together with other worried neighbors, they looked at the intersection together.

Seeing the granddaughter pulling the clothes on her chest and showing her the copper coins, her hands trembled excitedly, "Let's go, let's go home, Grandma made you dinner, let's go home and eat!" The two grandchildren strode home.

Xiduo leaned close to the two of them and whispered something, Grandma Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then became very excited, "Really? Are there really so many?"

When Xiduo heard it, she couldn't believe it, she had 32 papers!There are more people than just a few people!

In Cuihuang Courtyard, Huo Xi looked through the ledger to see the wages paid to the workers by the workshop today.

Everyone ran over in unison, so that the carriage couldn't get in, and stopped at the entrance of the alley.Everyone in the carriage couldn't help but jump out of the carriage when they saw their family members...

"Lead! Let's lead!" Qiqi said.

"Your wages for today have already been calculated. My wife said that each of your families has difficulties. You are allowed to settle the wages on the same day. If you want to get wages on the same day, you can come and get them, or you can not get them and get them together at the end of the month."

"Alright..." Granny Zhi held her granddaughter's hand tightly.

The steward nodded, opened the book and began to roll the roll, another steward next to him came out with a box, half of the box of copper plates made Xiduo and the others' eyes shine.

Hold it tightly, stuff it into your arms, and press your chest tightly with one hand, for fear of flying away.

"Hey, it's worse than I was back then. Although my stepmother treats me badly, I have money secretly left by my grandfather. If I'm hungry, I can secretly go to the town to buy delicious food." Vanilla was a little emotional.

Xiduo secretly swears, chewing on the steamed bun in her hand, feeling that she has never eaten such a delicious steamed bun, it is so delicious.

But when she gets her wages and goes home, she will definitely buy such a big white steamed bun for Grandma!No, she wants to cut meat for grandma and brother!
If you can't afford to cut a catty of meat, you can cut half a catty.Be sure to let grandma and younger brother eat meat.

"The craftsman only has a few dollars, but the master chefs in the workshop are more expensive. The master chef in the sauce room that Madam finds pays 30 taels a month. Tsk..." Vanilla felt her teeth sore.

"... Xiduo, 32 texts..."

"Of course I can be his master." Vanilla looked proud.

"Yes, we are in charge."

Turning around, I saw someone in the cafeteria taking out steamed buns like Xiduo, and said earnestly: "I know you are thinking about your family members outside, and wanting to let them have a bite. But if you don't have enough to eat, it will affect your afternoon work. If you made a mistake and got fired, wouldn't you be more sorry for the expectations of your family? If you really think about your family, you should work hard, and getting more subsidies from the family is better than anything else."

"Ma'am, let's help them."

"You don't need to bring it, you don't need to bring it, there is food at home, just eat enough for yourself."

"Madam gave them work, isn't she helping them?"

In the afternoon, the sun was setting, and the bell of the workshop was ringing.

It cost 2000 taels to buy that yard. Although the same house was much cheaper than the capital, Qiushuang and the others only saw his wife's money flowing out.

"Grandma! Xiye!" Xiduo also jumped down.

"There are so many!"

"I'm full! The meal is enough, there are two vegetables, meat, and a lot of oil..."

Granny Zhi heard the shouts of the people nearby, and looked at her granddaughter excitedly, "Grandma, I've earned my wages, I've earned my wages!" Xiduo said excitedly.

Mother Ma laughed at her: "Why don't you tell me how much your Yanzhi's father earns in a month? Also, the money that Yanzhi's father has saved for so many years has been given to you. You have seen rich people, and you still feel sorry for these few." Copper plate?"

I wonder if Father Rouge's monthly wages are really too much, "Ma'am, why don't you pay so much for Zhufeng's wages, it's okay not to. Anyway, we have food and housing every month, and the mansion also helps us raise money." Rouge doesn’t cost a lot of money.”

It's not easy at home when there is little snow in autumn, frost and winter, but it's much better than people like Xiduo.Also sighed.

Xiduo and the others knew that it was time to get off work.I was overjoyed.After cleaning his hands, he took off the scarf and put it in his arms, and was about to go out when he was stopped by the supervisor.

Grandma Zhi was busy with her grandson in the field for a long time today, absent-minded, thinking about her granddaughter.

Until the carriage bell rang, "Come back, come back, they're back!"

"Ma'am, if you calculate it this way, most people can get more than one tael a month." Xiang Cao flicked the beads beside her.

"One size fits all." Vanilla touched her nose.

Holding back his excitement, he walked towards the person in charge.

Although he believed in Mrs. Shizi, he was still uneasy.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they realized it, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.The footsteps moved towards the steward, but no one dared to speak first.

"Sister, how much do you earn?"

"...The steamed buns at noon are delicious. I wanted to secretly bring them back for you, but the manager won't let me..."

Huo Xi didn't speak.Sitting in the yard reserved for her by the workshop, I asked for paper and made some plans, and explained them in time.

"Yes, thank you steward!"

At the entrance of the cafeteria, Huo Xi turned and left.

"None of them?"

"Have you been paid? Will you be paid today?"

The manager looked at her with a smile, and praised a few words: "You performed well today, you did your work carefully, and the petals were less damaged. Keep it up tomorrow."

"Now the workshop has 65 craftsmen from all over the place, plus the stewards, the masters from all over the place, and the servants of Caiyun Courtyard. The monthly salary will be quite a lot. I don't know when I will be able to pay back."

Xiduo's voice was trembling, and she was holding the heavy copper coin from another steward, and she almost couldn't hold it with both hands.

"Sister, is there really a lot of oil?"

Huo Xi smiled and said: "Zhufeng is worth the price. I'm still worried that if he runs away, where will I find a guard with such skills."

"With Rouge and I around, he dare not run away."

Huo Xi just laughed, "Don't think about saving money for your wife and me. Let's take a long-term view. What kind of business can't be invested in the early stage? When things are made, we can get back the money soon."

Thinking of everyone mentioning Rouge, I don't know what happened to Xiao Yuer.Thinking of his son, Huo Xi's heart ached.
