After lunch that day, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the brigade's workshop. This time, she wasn't there to give them design drawings, but to help check the accounts.
When the small workshop first started, there weren't many orders, so the village accountant helped with the work. Later, the orders increased, and more and more companies came to place orders.
The details and procedures related to the accounting became a bit complicated, and the brigade's accountant was having trouble handling it. She had little experience with accounting and also had a lot of other things to take care of in the brigade.
Since the others didn't have this knowledge, Lin Xiaoxiao would often help them check the accounts.
Today is the 29th, which is the end of the month. In the last few days of the month and the first few days of the month, Lin Xiaoxiao would almost always be with the accountant to sort out the accounts.
When Lin Xiaoxiao came over today, the accountant took out the books. She saw that the books were not only neat, but also very clear. The inflows and outflows and the inventory were all clear at a glance.
"Accountant Wang, did you...do all of this?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
Accountant Wang smiled and shook his head: "If I knew these things, I wouldn't have needed your help so often before."
"Then... who made this? How come I didn't know there was such a talent in the brigade?" Lin Xiaoxiao was very curious. If they had such skills, why didn't they recommend themselves when the workshop was recruiting?
When orders increase, the workshop does hire accountants, but an accountant needs more than just basic arithmetic skills; they require certain professional knowledge, so very few people apply or volunteer for the job.
Even if they made it through, they would still be eliminated during the assessment if their professional knowledge was not up to par. In the end, it was still the same as before, with Lin Xiaoxiao and the accountant juggling both responsibilities.
"You probably never imagined that these accounting records were done by Wang Juan."
"Who? Is it Wang Juan who broke off the engagement earlier?" Lin Xiaoxiao thought she had misheard and asked again.
"Yes, it's her." Accountant Wang nodded excitedly. "You wouldn't believe it, she only looked at it twice and then she finished it."
"Amazing, absolutely amazing!" Accountant Wang exclaimed excitedly when talking about Wang Juan's bookkeeping performance, as if she had found some great treasure.
"I heard she wanted to try her hand at accounting. At first, I wasn't optimistic about her. We're from the same village, so how could I not know what Wang Juan's abilities are?"
"She was quite good when she was a scorekeeper, but I didn't have high hopes for her as an accountant... Who knew that in the end, she just finished the month's accounts on a scrap paper."
As Accountant Wang spoke, he rummaged through something: "Found it, look, this is the draft. I checked it later, and there wasn't a single mistake."
Lin Xiaoxiao thoughtfully took the draft paper from Accountant Wang and looked through it page by page, checking the data for the categories. It was indeed all correct.
What is Wang Juan's educational background? Were her grades very good in school?
Upon hearing this, Accountant Wang recalled for a moment: "Now that you mention it, I remember. She is indeed one of the few people in the village who graduated from high school, but I've never heard of her having studied bookkeeping..."
"I'm not sure either. After all, she didn't do this kind of work before. Even if she really has the skills, we wouldn't know."
Lin Xiaoxiao had a general idea of what was going on. "Since she's here to apply for the accounting job, and her bookkeeping skills are evident, then this position is hers."
"With such a beautiful ledger, things will be much easier for both of us from now on."
Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't seen Wang Juan since that farcical annulment of the engagement. She still wasn't sure if Wang Juan had been reborn, transmigrated into a book, or something else entirely.
Since Wang Juan has taken the initiative to come forward this time, let her do it. That way, we can observe her properly and see what kind of person she is, whether she is good or bad.
Those who are exposed to the public are always easier to deal with than those who hide in the shadows.
I just don't know what kind of script Wang Juan received...
Accountant Wang agreed, since Wang Juan's bookkeeping skills were far superior to her own. She needed to rely on Lin Xiaoxiao's help, but Wang Juan could handle the job on her own.
However, it's not enough for just the two of them to agree. Accounting involves many things, and hiring an accountant requires the unanimous approval of the entire brigade.
Wang Juan had finished the accounting, and the two chatted for a while in the simple office before Lin Xiaoxiao took Shandian back.
In such cold weather, bicycles are unusable, so Lin Xiaoxiao went to Uncle Ganzi to reserve a sled for tomorrow.
With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, Lin Xiaoxiao planned to go to the county town. There were many things she needed to arrange, such as delivering New Year's gifts to Aunt Li, and also preparing gifts for her teacher and the Han family.
This is my first New Year here, so I need to do something special to mark the occasion.
When Lin Xiaoxiao arrived in the county town, she first went to Liu Yang's place and sold a lot of things there.
Two-thirds of the goods looted in the capital have already been sold, especially the last two shipments, which were two to three times the usual amount. Liu Yang was so happy that he wished he could worship Lin Xiao.
After earning her last bit of money for the year, Lin Xiaoxiao headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
When we arrived, we were shocked by the huge crowds at the supply and marketing cooperative. Normally, people are very frugal when buying things, but with the New Year approaching, everyone had a lot of coupons in their hands, and they were all ruthless in grabbing things.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself that it was good that she was just going through the proper channels and didn't need to buy anything, otherwise she didn't know when she would have to buy anything.
Even so, Lin Xiaoxiao still squeezed in. Having more people has its advantages. Before, she only had a small bag of things in her hand, but today she was carrying a whole big bag, and no one found it strange.
Some older women even looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with envy, thinking that this young woman was amazing, managing to buy so many things from so many people.
