When the time comes, we will build a two-story house, and you can live upstairs, where you can get good light, stand high, and enjoy the view."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, mom." Xu Ying said with a smile.

"Grandma, I want to live upstairs too. I want to be next to my aunt." Shitou shouted from the side. His aunt had gotten better, but she had also become busier. He could only see her once in a long time.

"I want to go too." Hu Zi shouted.

Mother Xu rolled her eyes at her two grandsons, who were very conspicuous.

"My daughter, will you go on business trips again after this? You've been away for so many days, your father and I are worried. Don't go on business trips anymore.

Our family doesn't need your little money, so you can just stay at home."

Xu Ying smiled and nodded: "I won't be on business trips all the time in the future. I'm just going there temporarily."

Only then did Xu's mother feel better.

Time flies, and soon it is New Year's Eve.

The workers in the workshop also began to stop production and prepare for the New Year.

Xu Ying's family was also busy, and the house was built in just one week.

The Xu family started moving their things and moved into their new house.

With the help of Uncle Xu and Uncle Xu San, we packed up everything in the morning.

Xu Ying moved from downstairs to upstairs, and Shitou and Huzi's rooms were next to Xu Ying.

This time, Xu's father built a rather large house with several extra rooms, so that even relatives who came to visit could have plenty of space to stay.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Secretary Yang and Secretary Zhang came together with the wages given by the factory director, a whole car full of cash.

The two workshops have been hiring quite a lot of people in the past month, hiring several hundred people directly.

Xu Ying had already notified everyone yesterday to come to the village to collect their wages. When Secretary Yang and Secretary Zhang were not there, everyone rushed to Xujia Village, each of them extremely excited.

This is the first time that these farmers have received wages.

And most of them are women. Although the country now advocates gender equality, people of this era have feudal ideas, and it is ingrained in their minds that women are inferior to men.

Nowadays, women can earn money. When this matter is made public, women feel honored and can stand up straight.

Everyone was delighted: "I calculated my salary this month, and I can get at least 50 yuan!"

"Oh, sister-in-law, you are really amazing. I came late and only worked for more than half a month. I calculated that I can earn more than 30.

If I take this money back, I will have to show my man a good look. Who says women are inferior to men?"

"Here they come." Uncle Xu called out, and everyone immediately became excited: "The factory director's secretary is here, everyone quickly line up.

The salary of each group will be collected by the group leader, and then distributed in due course.

Team leaders, please come out quickly and line up so that we can pay you your wages later."

Secretary Yang and Secretary Zhang drove the car to the village and went to find Xu Ying. Xu Ying had already told Uncle Xu to get everything ready.

The people in the two areas received their salaries separately, and when the name of each team leader was called, all the money for that team was taken away. After the team leader checked and found nothing, he distributed it to the team members.

"Yingying, we are all blessed by you. We never thought that we could make money one day!" The woman was from the village. She was so excited that tears came out when she said this.

These country people have been relying on earning some work points to fill their stomachs all their lives.

"Yingying, the aunts all thank you!" After the first one spoke, there were the second and the third.

Xu Ying looked at everyone crying with their faces covered, and suddenly she understood the difficulties faced by these women. She suppressed her sympathy, raised her head and encouraged them, "Don't worry, aunts, as long as you work hard.

I will ensure that you will always have this job, but if I find out that you are taking the money but not doing your job properly, I will not tolerate this kind of thing, and I will fine you at the very least, or even fire you at the worst.”

When the honest women heard this, they were moved and motivated: "Yingying, don't worry, we will definitely work hard."

Some women who usually like to be lazy felt guilty when they heard this and did not dare to raise their heads to look at Xu Ying.

Secretary Yang and Secretary Zhang's task today is to distribute the salaries. Now that the salaries have been paid, there is nothing else to do.

Secretary Zhang drove away, but Secretary Yang had not left yet.

Xu Qingqing spotted Secretary Yang with her sharp eyes, and rushed over with great interest, and greeted Secretary Yang in a familiar manner: "Yang Jun!"

“This Qingqing actually knows the secretary of the textile factory. Look, she even calls out her name. It looks like they are old acquaintances.

I didn't expect this girl to have such a relationship." People around were talking.

Xu Qingqing was very satisfied with what the people around her said. She raised her head with pride. Even Liu Yuefen was a little surprised. She looked at her daughter with disbelief: "How come you know Secretary Yang?"

Xu Qingqing was so proud that she just said casually, "We just got to know each other."

Liu Yuefen was immediately overjoyed: "You actually know Secretary Yang, then why don't you just ask him to arrange a job for you in the workshop?"

Xu Qingqing glared at her mother and said, "That won't do. We should handle official business as usual."

Looking at Secretary Yang who was getting closer and closer to her, Xu Qingqing's heart was in her throat. She guessed right. Secretary Yang must be interested in her as well.

"Yang." Xu Qingqing stopped talking before she finished her words.

"Jingjing, I brought some gifts and want to visit my uncle and aunt. Please take me to your house." Secretary Yang walked up to Xu Jingjing with a smile.

Xu Qingqing was stunned. The look in Xu Jingjing's eyes was as if bullets had pierced her hundreds of times.

Liu Yuefen was slapped in the face just two seconds after she was happy. She glared at her daughter angrily and said, "Look at Jingjing, she just dated the factory director's secretary.

Look at you, you found an educated youth but ended up in jail.”

Not only did she not get the betrothal gift, she also had to pay dozens of dollars out of pocket. The more Liu Yuefen thought about it, the more she felt she was at a loss. She should not have agreed to this marriage.

"You're coming to my house?" Xu Jingjing's eyes widened. Isn't this too fast?

Secretary Yang's face flushed a little, and he looked at Xu Jingjing seriously: "Comrade Xu Jingjing, love without marriage is hooliganism. Are you going to be a hooligan to me?"

Xu Ying was also dumbfounded. She seemed to know why Huo Chen was angry last time.

Does he also think he is being a hooligan?

Watching the two of them showing their affection, Xu Ying suddenly missed Huo Chen a little. She didn't know when he would come back, as it was already New Year's Eve.

"Yingying, Secretary Yang and I are going home for a while." Xu Ying had never seen Xu Jingjing look so shy before. It was true that love made people go crazy.

She also wanted to get carried away, but unfortunately no one was there.
