Pei Yunzhi didn't need to go to the Qiao family today. She watched her sister pack fish and quickly memorized the approximate quantities. Then, without further ado, she told Pei Yuezhi to go and rest.
He was given the work here, but Pei Yuezhi wasn't idle either. She didn't do much work today, while Liang Zhenzhen was the one who kept cooking.
So I went to the boxed lunch section and told Liang Zhenzhen to go and rest for a while, but she said she would go to the kitchen to do some odd jobs and sit down and rest for a while.
The person serving the food here has to stand there the whole time, so we won't need her for now.
As for our dear Liu Yuanyuan, she was resting while preparing the food, so now she's full of energy as the cafeteria auntie serving meals.
But it's the version with steady hands, because our main focus is on honesty and integrity.
......
Before we knew it, the new store had been open for a month, and it was time to settle everyone's wages again.
When she changed shops, Pei Yuezhi settled the wages with both of her sisters-in-law.
However, Liang Zhenzhen had just arrived at that time and didn't know how to do much; she was mainly studying, so no salary was paid to her.
Taking advantage of the evening break, Pei Yuezhi began to settle everyone's wages.
“We moved to a bigger store this month, so we’re much busier than before. I’ll pay the wages according to the standard for restaurant workers. It used to be 700 coins, but now it’s increased to 850 coins.”
"Oh my, Yuezhi, you've even raised wages! Working for you is better than anywhere else."
Both sisters-in-law thanked them profusely, overjoyed.
Having been exhausted for a month, Pei Yuezhi decided to take a day off tomorrow.
After paying their respects to their two sisters-in-law, they went home first.
Pei Yuezhi, Liu Yuanyuan, and Liang Zhenzhen were the only ones left, and they also prepared to go home.
During this period, Pei Yunzhi was going to help out at the Qiao residence, so Pei's father had already taken up his post. However, he wasn't needed much in the evenings, so he stayed home to take care of the children.
Liu Yuanyuan was a little tired, so she went back to sleep first.
After arriving home, Pei Yuezhi told Liang Zhenzhen not to go back yet. Pei's father was also waiting for them in the yard.
Pei Yuezhi pulled them into the house and said to them, "Zhenzhen, you are now a chef in the shop. Your salary is one tael per month. Since you are not the head chef yet, it is a little less."
“Father, you’ve taken over Yunzhi’s job. You’ll only be doing odd jobs, and we’ll give you six hundred coins a month. Adding the days Yunzhi worked before, that’s a month’s salary for you.”
Both of them were stunned when they heard this.
It was Pei's father who reacted first: "You child, I'm helping you with some work, why are you paying me? We're all family, this is all family business."
Liang Zhenzhen nodded repeatedly: "Grandpa is right, Aunt Pei. You saved me, you are my second parents. Zhenzhen has long regarded you as family. Family doesn't need money."
Pei Yuezhi knew they would definitely use this same excuse.
Looking at them seriously, he said, "Precisely because we are family, I can't let you work for me for nothing. Besides, I can't trust anyone else as much as you do. You help me and make me feel at ease, so you must pay me."
"Otherwise, I'd feel bad and have to stop using you. What if I hire someone else and get scammed?"
Seeing that Pei Yuezhi had said so, Pei's father accepted the money.
However, after he accepted it, he took out half of it and handed it to Pei Yuezhi.
"Yuezhi, I know you're not short of money, but consider this a small red envelope from your father. I hope your business will get better and better."
“I never imagined that one day my child would be so amazing. When I was teaching at the private school, I earned a lot, but there was never any left over for the whole family.”
“Other people’s children can have a few coins of pocket money, but my Yuezhi and Yunzhi have nothing. It’s because your father is incompetent. Now that I’m old, I still have to rely on my two children. Fortunately, I don’t have to be a burden to you anymore, otherwise I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.”
Pei Yuezhi was a sentimental person, and she felt a little sad after hearing these words. She had the original owner's memories. When she was a child, the other children in the village had a few coins to spend, which they would save to buy a candied hawthorn or some candy. But the original owner and her younger brother had nothing.
Actually, it wouldn't be accurate to say that he didn't do anything; Pei's father would always secretly buy him some delicious food.
Moreover, as a girl in an ancient village, she was not disliked by her father; on the contrary, he loved her even more, and she lived a very happy life.
Despite the fact that Pei's mother is shrewish, favors her brother, and is unreasonable, this family's happiness index is quite high.
But whether in his memories or in his daily interactions, Pei's father always blamed himself for not giving his child a good life.
Perhaps it's true what they say: love is always about feeling indebted.
Anyway, Pei Yuezhi's eyes were red, and she was moved once again.
Damn it, who knows how devastating this is for an orphan!
"Father, please don't always feel guilty. Yuezhi is much better off than other children," Pei Yuezhi quickly said, not wanting him to keep blaming himself.
Pei's father nodded: "Okay, I won't say anything more. Take this money and I'll buy you some good food. You've been working hard, so you should eat more good food."
"Oh, Dad, don't worry, I'll probably eat it now."
Pei Yuezhi coaxed her father and took him back to his room. When she returned, she saw Liang Zhenzhen still in the hall, clutching a money bag.
"What's wrong, Zhenzhen? Why aren't you going back to sleep?" Pei Yuezhi walked over and asked her.
As Liang Zhenzhen saw her approaching, she said to her, "Aunt Pei, I can't accept so much money. You saved me and provided me with food and lodging. I don't want to accept so much money."
"You silly girl, who would complain about getting paid too much?"
“Logically speaking, I am a servant you bought, so my wages should naturally be reduced by the amount of food and drink I need. Logically speaking, since I treat you as an elder, I shouldn’t charge you so much,” Liang Zhenzhen said seriously.
Pei Yuezhi laughed immediately: "This is nothing. As you become more efficient at your work, there will be even more."
Liang Zhenzhen didn't understand these wages either, and she had never received so much money before. She just felt that Aunt Pei was so kind, and she shouldn't take so much money from her.
Seeing that she was about to say something, Pei Yuezhi interrupted her directly: "Zhenzhen, do you know what you can do right now?"
She was indeed a little confused: "What can I do?"
"What you need to do now is to master the craft so that your aunt can have more free time. That's the best thing you can do for me."
After hearing this, Liang Zhenzhen lowered her head and pondered for a moment.
Then he looked up and said, "Don't worry, I will work hard so that you can get more rest."
"Just take this money and work hard; that's how you repay me," Pei Yuezhi said softly, patting her head.
