In the afternoon, I criticized the boss again. Today's traffic volume was several times that of yesterday, and the turnover also jumped. It was more than three times that of the first day, exceeding 800 yuan!

On the third day, it was the same number!

On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Zhi gathered everyone together again: "In this work-study program, in three days, we sold more than a thousand balloons, with a total turnover of 1,903 yuan and 50 cents."

"After deducting 30 yuan for two days of meals, 30 yuan for the principal of the balloon, 30 yuan for brother Dayong's wages, 80 yuan for gas refills for brother Zhao San, and 10 yuan for brother Damao's two-day fare.

, and Guan Tingting’s salary of ten yuan, there is still one thousand six hundred and eighty-three yuan and fifty cents left.”

"Oh——" Everyone cheered.

"Don't worry, don't worry! Let me explain here! The cost of the balloons didn't need to be so high, but many were damaged due to unskilled work, resulting in a large increase in costs."

"The remaining ones will be used for class meetings in the future, so I'm too lazy to take them out."

"Brother Dayong and Brother Zhao have been working hard these past two nights. They stayed up all night to work overtime for us. According to the principle of three times the overtime salary during the Spring Festival, and a little more, I think this amount is appropriate."

"There is also the use of helium. We didn't spend any money, but it was a favor from Brother Zhao, so if we give him an extra fifty, we don't have to worry about whether he uses it to honor his uncle or keeps it himself."

"The rest of Brother Damao's fare is the market price. I think Guan Tingting can simply express it as encouragement. Do you have any opinions on how to deal with it this way?"

Everyone was almost giddy with joy, and now they were only thinking about sharing the money, so there was no way they could have any opinions.

Zhou Zhi continued: "There are one thousand six hundred and eighty-three yuan and fifty cents left, and each person can get three hundred and thirty-six yuan and seven cents. I am too lazy to find seven cents for everyone. Even if I pay for the errands to buy the balloons, everyone will get 336 yuan and seven cents."

, three hundred and thirty-six yuan!”

Don’t underestimate the three hundred and thirty-six yuan these days. Ordinary workers now only get forty or fifty yuan a month. This is equivalent to earning seven months’ wages in three days!

The fourth set of RMB reappeared in the form of fifty yuan and one hundred yuan, but they are rarely used now. The purpose of using them to buy balloons is not to buy balloons, but to make change or find trouble.

Therefore, Miss Wei Yi now has a thick stack of money in her hand, and she is counting the money with stars in her eyes: "This is not a work-study program, it is clearly a money grab!"

Yang He and Wei Fei didn't look much better. Only Mr. Qiao finally found a sense of superiority. This year he listened to his wise brother's command and really accepted Wu Gang's expedition to Gui. He was at the bottom of the list with six hundred before, and now he's three hundred.

Too many, hehehehe...

After spending the winter and summer vacations working hard to find projects, I can finally hand it over to the next person with confidence.

Retreating to the second line, I am comforted by my old love...

Generally speaking, everyone was very happy during the work-study program during the Spring Festival, except Mr. Qiao who was a little regretful that he would not be able to see the young lady in the future.

After everyone had left, Zhou Zhi reached out to Yang He and said, "Bring it here."

"Wha...what to bring?"

"The money in your pocket."

"What are you doing?" Yang He reached out and covered the bag. This kid has never had so much money in his life: "Why?! It's not even hot yet!"

"Where are you going to put it? School will start soon, and you will have to pay 200 in tuition, fees, and housing fees. Where will you put the rest? Under the pillow?"

"There are still two and a half years left, why not ask my mother to help you save it." Zhou Zhi took out a small notebook and said: "This is for you to keep accounts, one for you and one for me. When we make income and expenditure, we will be together and register separately.

"

"No need to worry." Yang He narrowed his eyes and showed a simple and satisfied smile knowing that he was not trying to steal money.

He also put the notebook away: "My brother didn't ask for my money, so I'll add seventy to it, and now I have exactly four hundred in my pocket! Please let me keep it for a while..."

After my mother returned home, she listened to Zhou Zhi's suggestion and refused for the time being. She also scolded him for being ignorant and said that even so, she must first seek the consent of Yang and his parents, brother and sister-in-law.

For safety, grandma added a cloth bag to Yang He's underwear and sewed a bag of money inside. My dear grandson, listen to your mother, at least take it back to Yang He and show it to his parents, brothers and sister-in-law, and look at the monk's

ability!

On the fourth day of the lunar month, Yang He went home again and made an appointment to come back on the sixth day of the lunar month, while Zhou Zhi and his family went to their aunt's house in Zaolingqiao for a New Year's dinner.

In the past, someone had to stay at home to take care of grandma, but now that we have a wheelchair, this is the first time in many years that the whole family is out on the road.

But my aunt was so happy: "This is the first time our ancestors have come to our house! This year is really a happy one!"

"The New Year is here with you!" Grandma was also very happy: "You can also raise chickens and grow vegetables in this yard, which is better than Yuanjiang's place!"

My father grew up here, and he was very familiar with the guests that my aunt invited, and he talked to everyone enthusiastically.

The people who used to live in this courtyard, except for one person who was pointed out by his father in the photo album and asked to be called "Uncle Navy", Aunt Liu's son, and his father were almost the most powerful people who came out.

"Uncle Navy" Zhou Zhi has only seen photos until now. I heard that he works on an island in Shandong or on a warship, and his level is already very high.

That one can be regarded as my father's pet. Just now my father asked Aunt Liu to inquire about his situation.

But in Aunt Liu's mouth, it was a different story.

This son, I only think that I have given birth to him once, and he will be raised by the country after he is fifteen years old.

I have no control over what the state uses it for, and the state won't let me ask.

Anyway, apart from sending money back every month, I only occasionally wrote letters. Even asking him to take a photo and send it back was considered a violation of discipline.

What a light Versailles!

Grandma and Zhou Zhi are now minor celebrities in the county, so they also receive special attention.

However, Zhou Zhi still had business to do and took out thirty yuan: "Auntie, this is Brother Dayong's hard work for the past two days. I think he will definitely not give it to you, so it would be better to hand it to you personally."

"How much can you earn in two days?" Brother Dayong is the squad leader, and his monthly salary can reach 60 or 30 yuan, which is what he earns from working for half a month.

He Dayong was helping to prepare chicken soup, and his aunt asked him to watch the fire. In fact, what's so good about the honeycomb briquette stove? To put it bluntly, it didn't do anything. Hearing Zhou Zhi talk about it, he couldn't help but turn around and return the money?

Zhou Zhi gave him a look and signaled him to shut up, then handed twenty of the thirty yuan to his aunt, and ten yuan to his cousin: "Brother Dayong may be patient, that is, there is no chance, otherwise it will be more than fifteen a day."

piece!"

"I know how to coax your aunt to get a family heirloom. If you really earn fifteen yuan a day, it will be more than four hundred a month." The aunt expressed disbelief: "Not even the big cadres in the city can earn so much!"

"Actually, you can give it a try if you have the chance." Zhou Zhi said, "Anyway, their water plant also works in shifts, so they have a lot of free time."

After that, he whispered in my aunt's ear: "I'll take a break these two days, and spend the rest of the day hanging out with the green men in the factory. I might cause trouble for you one day, aunt."

"Ouch..." Auntie also whispered: "Then you have to keep an eye on me."

"Staring is not the solution, but let's talk about it later." After saying that, he loudened his voice and said, "Brother Dayong has a sense of responsibility in doing things and being a responsible person. Based on these two things, I feel that I can't do anything wrong in the future!"

After speaking, he took out a beautiful plastic hairpin from his pocket: "Brother Dayong, sister Xiaojuaner also helped us this time. This is a small gift from me. Please remember to bring it to her for me."

In He Dayong's heart, being able to strike up a conversation with Xiao Juaner was probably more important than the thirty yuan harvest. He snatched it away and said with thunder in his chest, "Yeah."

My aunt knows that Zhou Zhi has been treated like a brat since he was a child, so she is trying to save herself face. How can a mother know what kind of virtue her son has?

However, I was quite pleased to be able to get the money my son earned from working: "Then the banquet is open, everyone, take a seat!"

After that, he said to grandma: "They are all soft and glutinous. You must like them, ancestors. You have to sit at the table today!"

The aunt relied on herself both inside and outside, and at most she asked a few housewives from the neighborhood to help her, but there was nothing wrong with the three tables of big dishes.

Because it mainly focuses on steamed vegetables, I had already prepared them last night and steamed them early this morning.

These are the nine big bowls of the so-called "three steamed and nine buckled" dishes in the old days, plus some cured meats, cold salad, and the last thing you do is stir-fry and stir-fry seasonal vegetables.

The local chicken soup slowly simmered in the honeycomb briquette stove is much richer and more flavorful than the soup simmered in the natural gas stove.

Because the minimum flame of a natural gas stove is too large.

Therefore, this chicken soup can be drunk by Wei Fei's family, Yang He's family, and my aunt's family, but not by Zhou Zhi's family.

Last time at Wei Fei's house, I didn't dare to open my belly for surgery. Now, there is no such restriction!

Nowadays, unlike later generations, only one meal is served during the New Year.

Because there are too many relatives and friends to arrange a meal for, the next meal will have to go to another place.

Later, the circle of each family gradually became smaller, and the family changed from one meal to two meals. We basically had lunch and dinner together and spent a day playing in each family.

After celebrating the New Year dinner at my aunt's house, Zhou Zhi pushed her grandma and the family went to visit my fourth cousin.

My fourth cousin is also a strange person. He was originally a hunter from Gujing Township, and he often cooperated with the Miao people from Wutongchang in hunting.

In the old saying, this is called "driving the mountain craftsman".

As long as farmers have this skill, they can live a good life in the surrounding area, so my fourth cousin was able to finish private school.

He also strived for success, and later was admitted to university, and later became the first director of education in Jiachuan.

My fourth cousin has three sons. I don’t know if they inherited the academic gene, but they are all abroad now.

When the fourth cousin returned to Jiachuan and visited Gujing Township, he had not yet met his aunt. There was a widowed sister-in-law in the third room of Gujing Township, and she had five children with her. The fourth cousin could not bear to see it and said to the widowed sister-in-law.

: "Let me bring one for you."

In this way, my fourth cousin gave birth to a five-year-old daughter before she was married.
