After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 712: Big New Year Gift [2]

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. Your daughter-in-law will hide the money well and will never let your husband take it away." Aunt Qin smiled happily and took the banknotes and cash.

Uncle Qin curled his lips...If he really wanted to run away, nothing his parents could do would be of any use.

Grandpa Qin looked so tired that he wanted to kick his rebellious son. Finally, he said, "Everyone has been tired all day. Take the money from each room, hide it and go to bed early. We have to get up early tomorrow to see Master Yu off."

"Hey, let's go back now." Aunt Qin grabbed Uncle Qin and dragged him away... It's such a happy day, don't ask for a beating.

Fortunately, Uncle Qin became happy again not long after.

It was because Second Aunt Qin got quite a bit of silver, enough for the second branch of their family to do their own things.

Qin Xiaomi took her 9,200 taels of dividend and went back to her room to hide the money.

Aunt Qin, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were also hiding silver and money.

Let's distribute the dividends on this night. Everyone in the family is like hamsters, busy digging holes to hide the money.

The next morning, the Qin family got up early. Grandpa Qin took Jiang Dalang, Uncle Qin, Qin Ying, Qin Eryong, Qiao Songguo and others to see off Deputy Envoy Yu.

Deputy Envoy Yu was an official after all, so several major merchants, several village heads, including the Silifang and Huazongqi came to see him off.

All parties presented generous gifts to ensure that Deputy Envoy Yu and his entourage would have no worries about food and lodging during their journey.

Aunt Alan, Ah Hei, Ah Ling and others also came to see what was new, and were really surprised... These outsiders came to see them off and even gave them money.

Is this considered a disguised bullying by a dog official?

Fortunately, they held back and didn't ask this question.

Deputy Envoy Yu expressed his gratitude and set off with his team.

After seeing off Deputy Envoy Yu, Grandpa Qin, Uncle Qin, and Jiang Dalang went to see the chief of the stronghold. Seeing that his complexion was getting better, they felt relieved.

Then he asked, "Captain, what are the customs for celebrating the New Year in your mountain village? What must-eat foods are there? Please make a list and we will try our best to find them for you."

Unexpectedly, the third village chief said: "Don't bother the Qin family. Mr. Wen has already ordered his servants to help us deliver the New Year's supplies."

He then said to the chief of the stronghold, "The Wen family is a thousand-year-old family. They have shops in every town and county. If you want something, just give an order and the servants in the shop will immediately load it on a truck and deliver it to you. They are really amazing."

The third leader felt that the Wen family was more powerful than the emperor.

If you want to ask the emperor for something, you have to report it layer by layer, but if you want to ask the Wen family for something, it’s just a matter of a word from brother Wen Tao!
Grandpa Qin: "..."

Has the third leader completely surrendered to the Wen family?
But Grandpa Qin was not worried at all... Your Majesty and the Wei army are not vegetarians.

After hearing this, the chief of the village said to Grandpa Qin: "Grandpa Qin, since the third chief of the village has already obtained the New Year's supplies, your family should not worry about it."

The third leader was extremely happy... Humph, the first leader is indeed a money-grubber. Look, after seeing the benefits, he immediately became close to the Wen family and refused to accept the Qin family's kindness?
In fact, the village chief thought that since the Wen family wanted to give them hard labor, then they should let them do it.

The Qin family is a place where brothers get along. How can you bother your brothers all the time? Wouldn't that make them suffer?
So, let’s just mess with the Wen family.

"Okay." Grandpa Qin sat for a while, said goodbye and went home to help prepare change and new year gifts so that he could pay the female workers their wages for the twelfth month and new year gifts tomorrow.

There is a lot of snow in the twelfth lunar month in Northeast China. Heavy snow would fall at any time, so the Qin family paid the wages and New Year gifts to the female workers before the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

After distributing the things, if there is heavy snow, we will officially have the New Year holiday.

Everyone in the villages of Taifeng Town knew that on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Qin family would pay their female workers their wages and give them New Year gifts in advance.

Every household in the village has been discussing this matter for several days. Some curious people are planning to go to the new street in the town on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month to watch the Qin family giving out New Year gifts to the female workers.

The vendors of the Lu family prepared more stock so that when the female workers received their wages and wanted to buy cooked food and other dishes, they would not have anything to sell, which would mean they would lose a lot of money!
On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the female workers came early. On this day, people were restless and it was difficult for them to wait until the workshop to have lunch.

After the female workers finished their lunch, the workshop did not ring the gong to start work, but instead rang the gong to gather.

Ding ding, ding ding!
"Gather together, gather together, it's time to pay wages and New Year gifts!"

"They really paid their wages in advance! The Qin family is so nice!" The female workers who just came this year were all shocked.

Grandma Zhou Shiliu said, "Our boss never makes things difficult for you guys over trivial matters. You are blessed to be able to work in the Qin family workshop. You must remember the kindness and cherish it!"

"Yes, yes, you are right. We all remember the Qin family's kindness." The female workers said one after another.

Grandma Zhou Shiliu snorted coldly: "I just listen to what you say, but I can believe Cao Yang's words to some extent."

Cao Yang was a widow with three children to support, so she cherished the work in the Qin family workshop.

The other female workers were dissatisfied: "Mrs. Zhou Shiliu, although we are not as hard-working as Cao Yangshi, we are also sincerely grateful to the Qin family. During festivals, we burn incense to our ancestors and ask them to bless the Qin family!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Quiet, quiet... The foremen are counting the number of people. After counting, follow me to the warehouse to line up to receive the New Year gifts." Aunt Xu shouted.

"Hey!" The female workers were extremely excited, but immediately quieted down.

The foremen counted the number of female workers in their workshops.

After finishing the work, they went to the warehouse compound in batches according to the order and started queuing up to receive the New Year gifts.

There are nearly 200 female workers in the new dye workshop and the new red candle workshop, and nearly 200 New Year gifts.

The wages also had to be paid, which took more than an hour, and was not finally paid until the end of the afternoon.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"The boss said that you should go home now and don't stay outside to avoid meeting bad people and having your money robbed by them! Go home in groups and don't go back alone!" Aunt Xu kept shouting to remind the female workers.

"Hey, Manager Xu, tell the young master not to worry, someone from our village will come to pick you up, so you don't have to worry about running into any bad guys on the way!"

"Okay, line up and leave the workshop!" Aunt Xu shouted... Being a manager is really not easy, just shouting makes your voice tired.

"Hey hey hey!" The female workers responded happily, carrying their New Year gifts and lining up to leave the new workshop.

Outside the intersection of Xinda Street, there were circles of people standing there. They were all family members who came to pick up the female workers and take them home.

"Ouch, it's coming out!"

"He's holding something in his hands. There's a piece of meat that looks like it weighs at least three pounds!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Don't move or push, so as not to hurt anyone! Be patient and wait. After the female workers come out, each village will take them back home!" Zhoujia Village had the most experience in receiving female workers, so they rang the gong and shouted to remind them.

The female workers also saw the commotion on the street and trotted over.

After finding his family, he immediately picked up the New Year gift in his hand and said excitedly: "Dad, the boss gave us three pounds of meat, three pounds of flour, and three bags of sugar. We don't have to buy sugar, meat, and flour for the New Year!"

"No, we've made some money this year, so we need to buy some meat noodles to have a good year!" Her husband agreed, but he didn't dare to squeeze over. Instead, he waited until she came out before coming over to take the New Year gift from her hand and said, "I bought three servings of fried vegetarian meatballs. We'll have a good meal tonight."

Although they are vegetarian meatballs, they are fried with meat oil. Add half a cabbage and stew it, and it will be a meal that is oily and fragrant.

"Mother of Da Wa, we are here!" Cao Yang's mother-in-law shouted, holding Da Wa tightly in her hand.

The eldest child was wearing a thick and warm new cotton-padded jacket.

This new cotton-padded jacket was distributed by the Qin family workshop to the female workers at the beginning of winter. It was two full sets of winter clothes.

Cao Yang's family was poor, so they took apart their two new jackets and mixed them with old cotton to make two large and three small jackets. This year, the family of five all wore warm and thick jackets.
