Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 532 Exposed

"So what do you mean, how to deal with it?"

Jia Weidong asked Liang Ladi with a smile to see how she would deal with it.

"I'm discussing this with Team Leader Qin and asking him to supervise strictly!"

Jia Weidong did not comment and asked Qin Dachun, "Team Leader Qin, can you supervise so many workers by yourself?"

Qin Dachun scratched his head, looking embarrassed: "I'll try my best!"

Qin Dachun is a good farmer, but he is just average at managing workers.

Can he manage so many workers by himself?
Obviously that's not possible.

Even when holding a meeting in the square, some people dare to do some small things.

There are rows of corn, and if you stand on one row you can't see the other rows.

If you stand here, you won't be able to notice someone having sex in the cornfield over there.

You stand next to the worker and he works honestly, but as soon as you turn your back he starts pushing the grass down to the roots of the corn.

Even if Qin Dachun had eight pairs of eyes he still wouldn’t be able to see it all!
Moreover, this is not a matter of principle.

Everyone does this, what can you do to the workers?

Expelled?
The workers are all regular employees, and even Jia Weidong cannot fire them!
"How about this! Let's make a rule. From now on, we will give rewards to all the grass delivered to the breeding area. For grass that meets the standards, we will give a reward of 10 cents for every 100 kilograms."

Why do we say it meets the standards?

These days, there is no shortage of workers who cheat and take advantage of the situation.

If you only look at the weight and not the quality, they might even dig up the mud for you in order to get more rewards.

Liang Ladi asked in confusion: "This is their job, why should we give them rewards?"

Jia Weidong smiled and said, "Think about it, is feeding them with 100 kilograms of grass equivalent to one kilogram of grain?"

Liang Ladi suddenly understood.

One hundred kilograms of grass is indeed much more cost-effective than one kilogram of grain. Moreover, sheep are different from pigs. Sheep are herbivorous animals and can do without grain. On the contrary, not feeding grass for a long time will affect the growth of sheep.

Jia Weidong smiled and said, "That's right!"

Except for some minor problems such as some workers cheating on their wives, everything was normal in the planting area. Jia Weidong then went to inspect the breeding area.

Liang Ladi of course accompanied them.

Next comes logistics and the wine-making workshop.

Overall there are no problems and everything is working fine.

In fact, Liang Ladi's management ability is already very good.

Even when Jia Weidong is away, the farm is managed in an orderly manner.

Just a little bit conservative.

Good at maintaining the status quo but not enough at innovation.

Of course, this is not a bad thing.

Jia Weidong just needs Liang Ladi to hold on.

It doesn’t matter whether there is innovation or not. No matter how much money the farm makes, it won’t go into the pockets of himself and Liang Ladi, so just don’t squander it.

After the inspection, the two returned to the farm manager's office.

As soon as she entered the office, Liang Ladi untied her belt and threw it on the sofa: "Oh my God! This thing! It strangled me to death."

Jia Weidong laughed and said, "I'm talking to you too. Why are you wearing this thing on such a hot day? And you're tucking your shirt inside. Don't you feel too warm?"

Liang Ladi turned on the desk fan, unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt, and lay there to get some fresh air.

"I can't help it. If I dress too casually and don't look like a manager, these rough guys will get mad. Oh, by the way, why did you take so long to go to Shancheng this time? Xiaomi didn't want you to come back?"

Jia Weidong held her willow-like waist from behind and said, "No, Xiaomi is not that kind of person. I was delayed for a few days because of something."

Liang Ladi did not ask any more questions. She moved back and said, "It's still cooler in the office! Right here, just like that!..."

Jia Weidong followed Liang Ladi's instructions and asked, "During the time I was away, no one made things difficult for you, right?"

Liang Ladi snorted, "Humph! Who dares? I am not a pushover, humph!"

After half an hour.

Jia Weidong helped Liang Ladi sit on the sofa and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry! I was impulsive just now!"

Liang Ladi grabbed his ears and said angrily, "Do I have a grudge against you or something? Are you going to take revenge?"

Jia Weidong chuckled: "How could that be possible! Hehe!"

Liang Ladi asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you today? Are you treating me like a beast of burden?"

Jia Weidong complained with a dark face: "What are you talking about, woman! Am I that kind of person? You are my woman, how can I not feel sorry for you?"

Liang Ladi glanced at him and said unhappily, “Then why are you still crazy?!”

"Ahem! I couldn't control myself! Sister Ladi! I'm sorry!"

Jia Weidong apologized again with his head lowered.

He didn't know what happened to him today. He acted rashly and almost caused a big disaster.

Liang Ladi lay on the sofa and didn't want to move. After a long time, she regained some strength and sighed: "Alas! You..."

She was still a little scared, she almost lost half her life.

Siheyuan.

The third uncle was watering the flowers in front of his house with a kettle.

Even though the third uncle is wearing glasses, his eyes are very sharp.

As soon as Jia Weidong stepped into the gate of the courtyard, the third uncle saw him.

But he pretended not to see it and continued to water the flowers with his head down.

Jia Weidong saw clearly the third uncle's little movements.

Sometimes, Jia Weidong really doubted the authenticity of the third uncle's nearsightedness, and wondered if he was just wearing glasses to look gentleman.

"Hey! Third uncle! Are you taking care of your baby again?" Jia Weidong thought that the third uncle was deliberately putting on airs, so he took the initiative to greet him with a smile.

The third uncle adjusted his glasses with one hand and showed an unnatural smile on his face: "Oh! Weidong is back! You haven't been back for a while."

"Well! This business trip will take a little longer, Third Uncle, see you later!"

Seeing that the third uncle looked a little strange, Jia Weidong didn't talk to him much and hurried back to the intermediate court.

As Jia Weidong stepped into the middle courtyard, the third uncle put the kettle on the ground and went back to the house.

Auntie was preparing dinner. When she saw Uncle Three coming back to the house, she asked while cutting vegetables, "I seemed to hear you and Weidong talking just now. Is he back?"

The third uncle nodded: "Yes! Let's go back to the middle courtyard!"

The third aunt asked in a low voice: "His father! Why don't you pull him into the room and talk for a while?"

"What are you talking about? What is there to say?" the third uncle said angrily.

Third Aunt: "Ask him what to do about Jie Di's matter?"

The third uncle said angrily: "Why are you asking? It's all because of your indulgence!"

The third aunt was unhappy when she heard this, and slammed the kitchen knife on the cutting board with a "smack" sound: "Yan Fugui! Explain to me clearly, what do you mean by I condoned it? What did I condone?"

The third uncle raised his hand and pointed at the third aunt, saying confidently: "Confucius said that if a daughter is not taught well, it is the mother's fault. This is a good daughter you have taught."

The third aunt retorted, "You are such a good Yan Fugui. Why didn't you stop people from sending wine and meat to your home? Why didn't you stop them from finding a job and buying a yard for Jie Di? You ate the meat, drank the wine, and got the benefits. You are responsible for everything, right?"

The third uncle's face turned black: "You, you! This is unreasonable!" The old couple closed the door and blamed each other.

Fortunately, the two of them knew that family disgrace should not be made public, so they suppressed their voices and dared not let outsiders hear them.

The cause was that the third uncle heard a piece of news from somewhere: Jia Weidong already had a girlfriend and they had even registered for marriage!

This really made the third uncle very anxious.

If you, Jia Weidong, marry someone else, what will happen to my daughter?
Am I going to follow you like this without knowing why?
What made him even more angry was that when he told his daughter about it, Yan Jiedi didn't take it seriously at all.

She gets annoyed if you talk too much and won’t even come home.

Yan Jiedi has a job and her own yard, so she is very powerful!
Regarding this matter, the third aunt also approached Jia Zhang.

But Jia Zhang ignored it and said, "Oh, Third Aunt! I can't do anything about this. My son is grown up and his mother is not in charge."

Not only that, she also advised the third aunt: "Third aunt, marriage is free now, and children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You see, I never worry about my children now. They eat and drink as they please. This life, oh! Don't mention how comfortable it is!"

The Jia Zhang family today is not the Jia Zhang family of ten years ago.

At that time, Jia Dongxu had just passed away, his grandson was still young, and they could hardly make ends meet.

He was worried all day that his daughter-in-law Qin Huairu would remarry.

If Qin Huairu remarried alone, she would not be able to support Banggeng alone.

If Qin Huairu remarried for the sake of her husband's kindness, she would be left alone.

Fortunately, I listened to my father-in-law and adopted Jia Weidong as my son.

Now she has a large family and grandchildren, and has no worries about food and clothing. Her grandson Banggeng has grown up and started working.

Therefore, Jia Zhang is now particularly confident when speaking.

My son doesn't need a wife like your daughter, so you can do whatever you want.

The third aunt originally wanted to ask Jia Zhang for an explanation.

Who would have thought that with just a few words, Jia Zhang not only cleared herself of all blame, but also left the third aunt, who was seeking justice, speechless and returned home in vain.

Naturally, there is another large round table for dinner in the evening.

Now every unit has a telephone, so it is convenient to connect them together. As soon as Jia Weidong comes back, all the girls will know soon.

Banggeng, contrary to his usual behavior, squeezed in and sat next to Jia Weidong, diligently pouring wine for him.

Jia Weidong glanced at him and said, "You kid! If you are too attentive to others for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief. Tell me! What's the matter?"

Bang Geng smiled and said, "Uncle! Look at what you said. I am just happy today. There is really nothing else to worry about."

"Fuck!"

Jia Weidong raised his head and drank a glass of wine, then asked, "You look so happy, what are you so happy about? Did you find a girlfriend?"

Jia Weidong's words made Bang Geng blush.

Banggeng is not much shorter than Jia Weidong now.

He has never lacked nutrition since he started growing up, so he is very strong.

They are real grown men, and standing next to Jia Weidong they look like brothers.

My skin is still a little thin and I haven't gotten over it yet. I blush when I mention my girlfriend.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Jia Weidong and said, "Go away! Can't you teach your child something good? Banggeng is still young, why would he want to find a girlfriend?"

Jia Weidong laughed and said, "Not young anymore, when I was young..."

Qin Huairu was really afraid that Jia Weidong would be too careless and talk about her and her in front of the children. She glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense, the children are here!"

Jia Weidong could only smile awkwardly and pick up the glass to continue drinking.

"Uncle! My master took me out to deliver goods. When we came back, the truck was empty. He also taught me how to drive for a distance." Banggeng said excitedly.

Jia Weidong thought to himself, "I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out to be just such a small matter."

This naughty kid was so happy just after touching the steering wheel.

However, this is understandable.

Learning to drive is really not easy these days.

You have to learn maintenance first. Without learning maintenance for a year or two, don’t even think about touching the steering wheel.

You have learned most of the maintenance skills, and following a car is just doing odd jobs and hard labor. It would be great if you can become a master and drive on your own in three years.

There are many reasons for this.

These days masters are reluctant to take apprentices.

Even if you have connections, the company will force you to follow a certain master, but they usually won't teach you well.

That's one of the main reasons.

Nowadays, drivers teaching apprentices are completely different from driving schools teaching students in later generations.

If future driving schools can teach you earlier, they will be able to recruit the next batch earlier.

There are batches of students coming in.

The more a driving school teaches, the more it earns.

These days it’s different when a driver takes an apprentice.

There is no benefit at all in taking an apprentice.

Whether you have an apprentice or not, the salary and benefits are the same.

Moreover, there are only so many cars in the company, so it can be said that one person has one job. There are cases where one teaches an apprentice, but ends up having his job taken away by the apprentice.

The sentence [teaching the apprentice to kill the master] is not made up.

Banggeng's master brought him on the road so early, most likely because of Jia Weidong's status as the farm manager.

Jia Weidong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Study hard! When you can go out on your own one day, your uncle will help you get a permanent job."

"Hey! Thank you, uncle!"

"When you go out with the master, be diligent and keep your eyes open for work. Don't wait for the master to call you to do things like rocking the bike or tying the ropes.

Also, don’t spend your salary recklessly, buy a pack of cigarettes and put them in your pocket, and give cigarettes to your master whenever you have time…”

"Hey! I understand, uncle!"

Banggeng is a boy who listens to Jia Weidong quite well, and Jia Weidong is also happy to teach him some experience in dealing with people.

Looking at this scene, Qin Huairu felt relieved and her eyes were full of tenderness.

Banggeng lost his father when he was young.

My mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, is particularly doting on this eldest grandson.

If it weren’t for Jia Weidong, the boss who raised Banggeng like his own child, Banggeng might have grown up in a wrong direction.

In the blink of an eye, he grew into a sensible young man.

The children have grown up, especially Bang Geng, who has become a big boy.

Qin Huairu and her daughters, including the playful Qin Jingru, all act like serious ladies at the dinner table.

Just eat, don't talk about love.

When they returned to Yard 95, the girls seemed like different people, talking and laughing.

"Boss! I don't know who told everyone that your marriage registration with Xiaomi has been exposed. Now the whole courtyard is saying that you have registered your marriage."

Jia Weidong finally understood.

No wonder!
