"..." Lin Xiangyi frowned and sat up straight.
Are the workshop employees lazy?
When the workshop was first established, Lin Xiangyi had considered this issue.
After all, the workshop recruits some relatives and friends of the Xie family.
Problems can easily arise when you employ people based on personal connections.
But there is no other way. The workshop is located in the village, and we have to recruit people from nearby villages, and it is more trustworthy to recruit relatives and friends.
Although there are both advantages and disadvantages, at least the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
At the beginning, the daily management of the workshop was controlled by Lin Xiangyi.
At that time, the business had just opened and everyone was excited about having a job and a salary. They were all very motivated and worked diligently, and nothing ever went wrong.
Later, as her period got older, she had no energy or ability to take care of the workshop, and the focus of management fell on Xie Qingxiao.
Xie Qingxiao's image outside was not someone that people would mess with before, and after he moved to the workshop in the city, he became even less willing to smile outside. Everyone was afraid of him, so nothing serious happened to him.
Now that they have been in the city for a month, the people under them have begun to change their minds?
Gao Shengnan looked at Lin Xiangyi's face, feeling a little nervous.
Lin Xiangyi came back to her senses, and said with a relaxed expression: "It is only natural to work for money. Cousin, thank you for telling me these things. I will learn more about them later."
What this means is that they do not condone laziness among their employees.
Gao Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief, which also meant that he didn't mind her meddling in other people's business.
That's good. She was also afraid that her good intentions might lead to bad results. "Okay, then you check it out. I'll just tell you what I saw. It might just be a coincidence."
The two chatted and laughed and then talked about other things.
Lin Xiangyi thought: "Cousin, when are you going back?"
Gao Shengnan came here to send her mother here, and she still has to go back.
"I originally wanted to do it tomorrow," Gao Shengnan winked at Lin Xiangyi, "but I changed my mind. I may have to stay here for two more days."
"What's the point of bothering me? I wish you could stay here for a few more days," Lin Xiangyi said. It was a long journey, and it was not easy for her to come here, so it would be nice if she could stay for a few more days. She liked Gao Shengnan very much, but: "Why did you say you wanted to leave tomorrow, but then changed your mind?"
"Hehe, today I heard from my aunt that you suggested to my eldest cousin that they raise livestock, and the profit is not bad, so I also had some ideas," Gao Shengnan said generously.
The cousin she mentioned is Sister Xie.
"My family and my eldest cousin's family are both in the mountains, so I was thinking if I could follow my eldest cousin's example and raise chickens and ducks in the mountains and sell them to make some money?" Gao Shengnan looked at Lin Xiangyi with sparkling eyes.
Lin Xiangyi: “…”
Now she really looked at Gao Shengnan with new eyes.
You have to know that she had only been visiting the workshop for two or three hours, which means that it had only been two or three hours since Xie's mother told her about Sister Xie.
She was able to quickly compare her situation with that of Sister Xie, and consider whether she could also emulate Sister Xie. She even asked her about it, and seemed very serious about it.
This action is awesome.
"Sure," Lin Xiangyi said.
This was the early stage of reform and opening up. As long as you had a little business acumen, you could make some money.
Livestock are of course also possible, as so many people are short of meat nowadays.
Bang!
Gao Shengnan clapped her hands excitedly: "Xiangyi, I feel relieved when you say that! So I have decided that tomorrow I will go to my eldest cousin's house to see how she raises livestock and learn from her experience!"
"Sure," Lin Xiangyi supported her, but said, "But don't be so anxious. We've finally come here, so just play here for a while before leaving."
"I would like to play for two more days," Gao Shengnan sighed, "but I have to go back early. Spring ploughing has already begun. My mother is not at home this year, so I have to work on my own."
Lin Xiangyi frowned: "Can you do it alone? It's too hard."
"I'm used to it," Gao Shengnan waved her hand. "It's not so bad now. The first few years after my dad passed away were really hard. Under the commuter system, the commuter earnings of my mom and I were not enough for our own food. Now that we've been allocated land, at least we can have enough to eat."
"..."Lin Xiangyi looked at her cousin and really admired her.
"It's okay. My mother is with you anyway. Next time I come to pick her up, I'll stay a few more days!" Gao Shengnan said with a smile.
The two of them were talking in low voices, and Xie's mother and Aunt Zhao outside also heard a little.
Aunt Zhao raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Mother Xie patted her hands and sighed, "Shengnan is a good child."
"I'm the one who's holding her back," Aunt Zhao said with a sob. The biggest regret in her life is that she feels she's been a burden to her youngest daughter, causing her to remain unmarried at such an old age.
In fact, when her husband passed away, Gao Shengnan was already looking for someone else, but in order to protect her, her reputation for being a hot-tempered woman spread and the man broke off the engagement.
Over the years, Gao Shengnan has been dependent on her at home and has become a good worker.
She felt guilty towards her daughter and sometimes even wanted to die to end it all so that her daughter wouldn't have to live such a miserable life because of her.
"Sister, please don't say that. Shengnan is an excellent girl. She is so filial to you because of her excellent quality. Those stinky men don't like her because they have no vision," Xie's mother said hurriedly.
"Didn't Shengnan say she wanted to raise livestock and sell them? With her ability, she will surely live a better life. You can also earn some money here, so help her save it. When you have money in the future, you can even find a husband for Shengnan!"
Aunt Zhao forced a smile: "That's true."
This is the only way. She can't really die, otherwise Shengnan's persistence over the years will become a joke.
After finishing his work in the workshop, Xie's father went to the fields. Spring ploughing was about to begin, and they didn't have the energy to work in the fields anymore, but they couldn't just let the work go to waste, so they had to continue to hire people to help.
In the evening, Xie's mother boiled water and prepared to kill a chicken.
Gao Shengnan came to help, and she cut the chicken's neck neatly, plucked the feathers, dug out the internal organs, cut it into pieces, stewed it, and cooked it...
She is very capable. Xie's mother was originally supposed to be the cook, but inexplicably ended up being the assistant.
At around six o'clock, Xie Qingxiao came back and saw Aunt Zhao taking care of the children with Lin Xiangyi in the main hall. He greeted her first, then walked up to Lin Xiangyi and glanced at his two children.
His two cubs seemed to smell his scent and started crying.
Xie Qingxiao reached out to hug him, but Lin Xiangyi slapped his hand: "You just came back from outside, there are so many germs, and you didn't even wash your hands, how dirty are you?"
"Okay, I'll go wash my hands!" Xie Qingxiao completely forgot about it and turned around to wash his hands, and hugged his baby as he wished.
He is now very skilled at holding babies, and the babies stop crying soon in his arms.
