Chapter 158 Unemployed Persons
Goudan and Tietou also got married this year, and they both married people from my grandmother's family. Because the family was so poor before, and my grandmother's family was also having a hard time, they could only squeeze out a little bit of food from their mouths to support the aunt who married out.
Now that Goudan and Tietou's families are doing well, they are helping their grandmother's family. The two grandmothers agreed to the marriage only after seeing that their own children were of good nature and hardworking.
Since all the elders in the family have agreed,
Besides, they have known each other since childhood, so it's okay for them to find love. At least it's better than marrying a stranger, right?
Seeing that she is old enough, I might as well marry her home. There are not many people at home and there are many things to do. Bringing her home will give me an extra pair of hands to help my grandparents with housework and some light work in the fields.
Tietou's father is now the director of the furniture workshop, mainly supervising the entire production, while other chores are managed by the factory director.
The factory director, the village chief's son, Yang Ping'an, who is also Yang Bailin's father, is in charge of the business. Since he can read a few words, he is the best person to take care of these chores.
As for the accountant, he is Yang Pingchuan, the grandson of the old ancestor in the clan. He used to be an accountant for others. When he knew that the village was going to open a furniture workshop and that villagers could participate in the fundraising, he strongly supported it. Therefore, the amount of funds raised by their family was ranked behind that of the village chief's family.
At home, Xiao Caoer suggested to Yang Dashan and the village chief that they should hire an accountant to manage the account books. The factory director could not manage miscellaneous affairs and finances at the same time, which was not against the rules.
Therefore, this proposal was put forward during the fundraising meeting of all staff, and was agreed and passed by everyone.
When the ancestor heard the news, he sent someone to deliver a letter to him. He quit his original job immediately and volunteered to come back to sign up. Fortunately, he passed the assessment and got the job, otherwise there would be another unemployed person in the village.
Flower picking team
In the afternoon, several friends who were picking flowers temporarily formed a flower picking team. When they were preparing to go out, the other friends learned the news, and the other friends carried their backpacks and followed them up the mountain.
The little friends had little friends too, and together they brought their own friends, a total of twenty people. What was originally a small team was forcibly turned into a large flower-picking team by them.
Each of them carried a small basket and lined up to present flowers. It was a spectacular scene.
As soon as they entered Yang Dashan's house, Xiaolu, Xiaoniu and others immediately explained the reason to Xiaocaoer.
I said embarrassedly: "Xiao Cao'er, I'm sorry. They saw us picking flowers on the mountain and insisted on following us. I wanted to chase them away, but I had to give up because I thought this mountain is not mine. I told them all my requirements. If the flowers they picked don't meet your requirements, you won't accept them."
Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Xiao Caoer couldn't bear to say no, and it wasn't a big deal, they would need it anyway, so she comforted them, "It's okay, I'll take a closer look later. If there's just one thing that doesn't meet the requirements, I'll deduct money. If there's a lot of weeds or leaves, I really won't accept it."
"Don't worry, little grass, I picked it very cleanly, without any grass or leaves." Someone said, and the others followed suit.
Xiao Caoer asked Yang Dashan to help bring out a few large baskets. The friends lined up and took turns putting down their backpacks for Xiao Caoer to check. If there were no problems, they would pour the fruits into the large baskets according to the varieties.
It’s true, they picked them very cleanly, but some of the flowers were placed in a mess. They didn’t care what kind of flowers they were, as long as they were flowers, they just picked them and put them in the box.
Xiao Caoer didn't say much, as long as there were no leaves and weeds, it would pass.
Old Mrs. Yang sat aside, holding a purse. Because they were all children, they all carried small backpacks with five cents each. She counted the coins very quickly, without any confusion or mistakes.
Now the big round-number money coming into the family's account is in silver notes, and some small money is exchanged for silver, and copper coins are also exchanged with Shopkeeper Wu when going out. After all, copper coins are the most commonly used.
Each child received five cents, but they did not leave immediately after receiving the money. Instead, they waited aside and only breathed a sigh of relief after every flower was collected.
All of them passed, and no one was deducted money or rejected.
After paying the copper coins, Xiao Caoer said a few words in Old Lady Yang's ear, and Old Lady Yang understood.
She coughed first, and the originally bustling yard suddenly became quiet.
“Thank you all for helping us pick the flowers today. You picked them so cleanly without weeds or leaves. It really helped us a lot.
You have finished several days' work for us today, so you don't have to pick them for the next few days. We need to use up all the flowers first and then pick them. We will let you know when we are ready to pick them. If you have time, please help pick them, okay?"
"it is good!"
"Besides, we have almost picked all the flowers outside. If we pick more, we will have to go into the mountains, which is very dangerous. You can't go there, understand?"
"Know!"
"Don't worry, Grandma Dashan, we are picking them outside and not going inside."
When everyone heard that they didn’t have to pick them tomorrow, they were a little disappointed. It would be great if we could pick them every day!
No, I have to go to school the day after tomorrow, so I can't pick them every day. It would be great if I could still pick them tomorrow. No, what Dashannai said is right, the ones outside have been picked by them, so it will take a few days for them to grow again.
Old Mrs. Yang: Picking them every day, what are you thinking? Don’t they cost any money? And the flowers grow so fast that you have to pick them every day?
“Next time when you help me pick the flowers, you’d better help to sort them out. Put the same kind of flowers together, and put different flowers in different baskets. Don’t mix them up. If you mix them up, we will have to go through them again later.
You can pick different fruits together, or pick them together and put them in different baskets, so they won’t get mixed up. It’s the same when you pick fruits in the morning. You can wash them directly when you come back, without having to separate them. Doesn’t it save time?”
"Yes, Grandma Dashan."
"Grandma Dashan, we got it. We will definitely not forget to pick it next time."
"Okay, thank you in advance. Grandma Dashan also believes that you can do it. Now, let's all go home."
Some people also thought that they should look a little deeper into the mountain after school. If they look carefully for a whole day, they may be able to find a basket, which costs five cents.
