Erlang immediately said, "Then I'll keep it myself, okay, mother?"
Qin Yao nodded, "Of course."
"Then I'll wear it and put it inside my clothes. It won't get lost." Erlang said confidently.
Dalang also decided to keep it for himself. He wanted to take it to show his biological mother. He wanted to ask his mother if he could call her mother.
Qin Yao didn't know why Dalang suddenly became silent. This child was a very thoughtful person, so she could only let him be.
Qin Yao took out a men's silver hairpin, which consisted of a wide ring-shaped silver piece and a short hairpin, and was specifically used to fix a bun.
Plain silver is low-key, but it will add color to your appearance when you wear it.
Liu Ji pressed the somewhat bewildered Awang down on the bench, put his hair into a new bun, and put the silver hairpin on him.
The originally gloomy person now looks much more sunny.
Now Awang has disappeared into the crowd and can never be found again.
At least the four brothers and sisters of Dalang would be able to spot him among the coachmen after school every day, and would happily run over with their school boxes, trusting him wholeheartedly.
Qin Yao folded her arms and admired Awang for a moment, then nodded to Liu Ji, "The bun is well done."
"That's it!" Liu Ji raised his chin proudly, without even looking at whose work it was.
but!
"Madam, where is the wooden box that the teacher gave me?" Liu Ji had been itching to get it.
What did the teacher give him?
Is it gold, silver or jewelry?
Or a few jars of fine wine?
Or is it some secret book that is not passed on to others?
The more Liu Ji thought about it, the more excited he became. When he heard Qin Yao say that the wooden box was on the table in her room, he immediately went to get it after getting permission.
Seeing Liu Ji's excitement, the four children and Awang all gathered around to watch curiously.
Qin Yao, who already knew the answer, sat calmly at the small table, picked up the still warm Yuanxiao, and just as she took the first bite, she heard Liu Ji's desperate screams, as expected:
“Ahhhh!!!”
"Why! Why not gold, silver, jewels, or fine wine?"
Liu Ji frantically searched the wooden box. Homework assignments with Gong Liangliao's handwriting flew out like snowflakes, but there was not a single secret book he was looking for.
Liu Ji raised the wooden box and destroyed it!
Delicious, really delicious. Qin Yao finished a bowl of Yuanxiao in one breath!
Get up, pat your butt and get ready to go out.
When I reached the door, the screams behind me continued, occasionally accompanied by a few voices of gloating consolation.
Only Erlang was truly envious, "Dad, the teacher arranged all these for you because he loves you. I also want the teacher to pay more attention to me and assign me a lot of homework so that I can quietly surpass other students."
Liu Ji, who was kneeling on the ground holding the wooden box, looked up at him in disbelief, "Liu Zishu, you'd better speak the truth!"
Jiro: "Really, if I lied to you I'd be a dog."
Liu Ji covered his heart, no one in this world could understand his pain!
Awang handed over a candied haws, "Master, have something sweet."
Liu Ji felt a little comforted, and he and the other four children in the room, one adult and four children each, held a candied haws in their hands and started to chew them. The scene was strangely harmonious.
Qin Yao came out of her house and walked towards the stationery factory. Along the way, she found that many familiar faces were missing.
She had been away from the village for ten days and suddenly felt that the village had become much quieter.
When some villagers saw her, they greeted her enthusiastically, "Manager Qin, you're back!"
Qin Yao responded with a smile and asked why the other village was so deserted. The villager said:
"The mute and his friends have all gone back to their hometown. They left just the day before yesterday. The other refugees have also gone back. It's snowing again. We're afraid that if we get too late, the snow and wind on the road will be too strong and we won't be able to leave."
So that's how it is. No wonder she felt it was so quiet today. It turned out that everyone had left.
All the houses in the village that needed repairs have been repaired. After the mute and his friends left, they probably won’t come back again.
The mountains are high and the roads are long. Ordinary people rarely travel far unless they encounter major events. For many people, this may be the only time they encounter such an event in their lifetime.
Qin Yao separated from the villagers and came to the stationery factory. The workers were about to stop working and prepare to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
Qin Yao showed up in the cafeteria and asked He and Qiu to come to her house for dinner in the evening, and asked them to tell the two elders to come together when the time comes.
He and Qiu happily agreed. Seeing that Qin Yao had a new silver hairpin on her head, they guessed that there might be some gifts tonight, and they felt more excited.
When Carpenter Liu heard the news that Qin Yao had returned, he finished his lunch and immediately went to the meeting room to look for Qin Yao, saying happily:
"You are finally back. A few days ago, his uncle sent someone to bring a message to us, saying that the old lady is celebrating her birthday this year, and they asked us to go there to celebrate the New Year. The journey is not short, so we have to leave early. If you don't come, I don't know what to do."
His wife was urging him to leave, saying that if he didn't leave now, he would be unable to leave if there was a heavy snowfall.
A married woman seldom sees her family once a year. This time the opportunity is good and she can go back to her parents' home for a month. She wishes she could leave as early as possible.
Qin Yao didn't expect this to happen. She said a few words of concern to the old lady, and Carpenter Liu gradually calmed down.
Qin Yao took out the abacus and account book and went straight to the point, "I know you are anxious, so you rushed back overnight and came to the factory as soon as you woke up this morning."
"It snowed a little yesterday. Did you rush back overnight?" Carpenter Liu asked in surprise.
Seeing Qin Yao nod, he immediately felt embarrassed, "Look at you, I'm not in a hurry for a while, it's okay for you to take a day off today and come back tomorrow."
Qin Yao just smiled and said nothing more, concentrating on calculating the accounts.
Carpenter Liu was at a loss when checking the accounts, so he called the accountant Qian Wang over and the three of them checked the accounts together.
The news that Carpenter Liu wanted to withdraw his shares had spread throughout the factory. Qin Yao was eager to deal with the matter as soon as she arrived, and Qian Wang was not surprised.
However, he thought that money matters would always lead to some disputes, but he did not expect that both Qin Yao and Carpenter Liu were very straightforward.
This time, Carpenter Liu kept all the money from the order Qin Yao brought back and kept it all to the factory.
Therefore, the biggest point of controversy has no chance of happening at all.
The next thing was the 250 taels that were on the account. Qin Yao now had sufficient funds, so she took them out and gave them to Carpenter Liu on the spot.
The rest was easy to calculate. The balance for the previous batch of book boxes had already been paid off, and after deducting various costs and commercial taxes, the total profit was 288 taels of silver.
The two of them split the bill 50-50, and Qin Yao took out another 144 taels of silver and handed it to Carpenter Liu.
There is only one last profit left, which is the profit from the recent stationery gift boxes, and it’s not much.
Qian Wang calculated, "We have already paid 20% of the stationery gift boxes, which is 20,000 pieces. This is exactly the same as the 20% deposit of 240 taels that Shopkeeper Bai paid in advance. After deducting all the costs, the profit will be split 50-50. Carpenter Liu and Manager Qin, each of you will get 36 taels of silver."
Qin Yao didn't even look at the account and took out another 36 taels from the cash box and handed it over.
The reason why they were so forthright was that Fulon Commercial Bank paid 50% of the deposit this time.
With this one thousand taels of silver in hand, it is enough to maintain the factory's production until the final payment is settled.
