Happy peasant girl

Chapter 227 Paying wages (4)
Mrs. Liu felt a little regretful, but Mrs. He told her that there is no such shop in this village, and there are enough people in Nayuan, and they no longer want female workers.

"Mother, nothing happened. Today, the girl from the boss paid the workers in Nayuan, and said that she will have a day off tomorrow, and she will go to work in Nayuan the day after tomorrow." He Xueer said while sitting on her dilapidated wooden stool.

"Sister, can the money you earn allow me to eat a bun?" He Xueer's seven-year-old brother He Nan asked expectantly, sniffing his nose.

"Sister will not only let you eat buns, but also let our family eat meat!" He Xueer said with tears in her eyes.

For a long time, younger brothers and sisters have always worn the tattered clothes they used to wear, and the house at home leaked rain all the year round. In the past, she embroidered handkerchiefs and purses for others and her parents weaved bamboo baskets to support the family. One person can earn enough for a family to eat flowers.

"Really, sister?" He Nan's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true! Mother, give me the burden I brought back just now!" He Xueer's hands were trembling a little, she didn't show this in Nayuan or He's home.

Xin gave the bundle to He Xueer, and He Xueer took a deep breath, and began to slowly open the package. Inside were two feet of good cloth and a pair of shoe soles, and inside the good cloth was a purse.

She poured all the money in her purse onto the cloth, and then said happily: "Father, mother, this is my salary for one month. It is five taels of 830 Wen, and one tael of silver is worth two feet of good cloth." The hostess gave it to me as a reward, and this pair of shoes was given to me by the grandma of the hostess who taught me how to hold the soles, everyone in Nayuan has them, and they said they were a gift for our meeting."

"Xue'er, do you have so much wages in a month?" Xin couldn't believe it. Their family is a family that eats the last meal, and now that their daughter earns so much money, Xin's mind is blank. .

"Mom, I will definitely earn more next month. Now there is someone in Nayuan who can do work faster than me. I will surpass her next month. You can eat whatever you want in the future." He Xueer said with tears in her eyes .

"Xue'er, how can this boss be so generous?" He Xueer's father always felt a little uneasy when he saw the money.

"Father, my aunt's family is a kind person in my aunt's village. My aunt and many people in the village are very grateful to my aunt's family. They said that if it weren't for them, life for many people in the village would not be so good. The girl of my aunt's family may be capable even though she is small. Now, and the people under the opponent are even better." When He Xueer mentioned the people of the old Lin's family, her mouth was full of defense and gratitude.

"I heard that in your garden, food and shelter are in charge, and no money is required?" Xin asked.

He Xueer nodded and said: "Yes, at the beginning, everyone thought that when the wages were finally paid, the boss would definitely deduct some money for meals. After all, the three meals a day are better than those in the shops in the town. But the girl from the host family not only didn’t deduct a penny, but also gave rewards to everyone. In fact, everyone felt sorry in their hearts. Xiaohua said that when she returned to Nayuan the day after tomorrow, she was going to carry a basket of radishes and put it in the back kitchen of Nayuan. Otherwise, she would feel uneasy about eating." He Xueer wanted to laugh when she thought of the chattering appearance of her friend He Xiaohua from the same village on the way back.

"Our family doesn't produce food or vegetables in this field. You can bring a few bamboo baskets over there the day after tomorrow. It's a little kindness of our family!" He Xueer's father heard that she was full of satisfaction with Nayuan, and he also agreed. Even if I feel relieved, I have no other skills, so I will weave a bamboo basket.

"Father, why don't you weave a bamboo mat? There is a big wooden bed in the garden. If there is a bamboo mat on it, it will definitely be comfortable and cool to sit on." He Xueer had seen her father weave a bamboo mat before, So I thought about taking the bamboo mat to Nayuan.

"Okay, dad will make it up for you later. Mother, you collect all the money and go to the town's market tomorrow to buy some grain, another catty of meat, and some delicious food for our father and mother." Dim sum, Xue'er, if you send this two-foot cloth to your grandpa and grandma tomorrow, it will be considered your filial piety." He Xueer's father is now more energetic in his body, and his daughter is capable. I am relieved.

"Got it, Dad!" He Xueer said with a smile.

When Nayuan opened for work again, Linqingxi found that none of the female workers came empty-handed, and the back kitchen of Nayuan was full of all kinds of vegetables and wild fruits from the mountains.

"What are they doing with so many things? Are they here for the market?" Lin Qingxi asked puzzled.

She found that there were many more things in the yard of Nayuan, such as small stools, straw mats, bamboo mats, straw mats, and everything in a mess.

"Girl, they probably feel sorry for living and eating here for free. Bringing something here will make them feel better. Just let them do it!" said Jasmine who was following Linqingxi.

"Hehe, forget it, let them do it!" Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

Next, Lin Qingxi found that after receiving the first month's wages, the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of all female workers in the second month had greatly improved, and the quality and speed of the shoes were obviously better than the first month. The power is indeed great.

Nayuan has started to enter the normal track, and the "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" in charge of Qin and Wu has come to an end. For more than a month, they have worked tirelessly without rest, carefully embroidering the hundreds of flowers with Hunan embroidery stitches. Niao Chaofeng is almost finished, and now there is still the most important step, which is to embroider the phoenix.

That night, the Qin family found Linqingxi, because Linqingxi had told them at the beginning that the phoenix would be the last to embroider, and the needle and thread for embroidering the phoenix would be taken from her.

"Little sister, Phoenix is ​​missing now. We can finish embroidery in less than ten days, but you haven't brought the needle and thread you said you wanted?" Qin asked.

"Sister-in-law, tomorrow I will ask someone to bring you the remade needlework. The colored thread I gave you is different from other colored threads. Even if you see strange things at night, don't make a fuss." Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

A few people didn't quite understand what Lin Qingxi said, but after two days, they understood what was going on. The phoenix embroidered with the colored thread that Lin Qingxi gave would actually glow at night.

Lin Renyi, several clan elders and Linyuan Mountain dragged Lin Qingxi from Xiyuan back to the backyard of the old Lin's ancestral house that day, and asked her what was going on.

"Gentlemen, this colored thread is specially treated, so it will glow at night. As for how to make it shine, it is a commercial secret. I signed a document for him, so I can't say." Lin Qingxi said with a smile .

"Writer? Girl Xi, why doesn't Grandpa know about this?" Linyuan Shan's words were not a question, but he was really surprised. He hadn't seen any special people come to Linjia Village.

"Grandpa, didn't senior brother Wei Xuan send me dozens of embroiderers, and the bosses of the cloth and thread shops who cooperated with him also came. Among them, the boss of the thread shop signed a document with me. In the future, we will All the embroidery threads used in Cunxiang Embroidery are purchased from him, and he must make embroidery threads that are strong enough and have a correct color according to my requirements. In addition, I asked him to study to see if he can make embroidery threads that glow at night , I didn’t expect him to actually do it.” Lin Qingxi said.
