Seeing his face flush, Ding Youtian thought Jian Ning had scolded him for not doing his job well. When he entered the room and saw Jian Ning scalding a cup with boiling water from the kettle, he casually asked, "What's wrong with Ding Yang?"
"It's okay, it's probably just a little inflammation." Jane Ning didn't even look at him while holding the cup, and said, "I've already given him a few anti-inflammatory pills. I'll boil some medicine for them and let them all drink it. After working so long every day, they might sometimes be used to holding it in and not going to class..."
Jane Ning suddenly stopped talking, she suddenly realized that she had not set a day off for them.
This won’t do!
Not to mention eight days off per month, at least four days off are required. She is not a black-hearted boss. How can she exploit other people's hard work like this?
Damn it, I actually forgot such an important thing!
"what's on your mind?"
Seeing that she hadn't finished speaking, Ding Youtian frowned as if she was thinking about something, and asked unconsciously.
"We forgot to give them a day off."
"Rest day?" Ding Youtian hesitated for a moment, "You mean a day off, right?"
Jane Ning said "hmm".
Ding Youtian smiled. Employees never had the luxury of taking a day off. If something happened or they were sick, they just asked for leave from their employer. If their employer granted them a day off and didn't deduct their wages, it was already a gesture of kindness. If their employer was unscrupulous and deducted a day's wages, they wouldn't have any complaints. If they were dissatisfied, they would simply fire them.
After all, no one wants to lose a good job.
After he told Jian Ning about this, Jian Ning shook her head: "That won't do. Not only are we from the same village, but even if we hired strangers, there's no reason to exploit them like this."
"Take one day off a week." Jane Ning said.
"A week?"
Ding Youtian raised his eyebrows, expressing his confusion.
"It's the Seven Stars."
Ancient people called a week the Seven Lunar Days. Monday is Moon Day, Tuesday is Fire Day, Wednesday is Water Day, Thursday is Wood Day, Friday is Friday Day, and Saturday is Saturn Day.
Refers to the seven main celestial bodies, including the sun, moon, and five planets.
"We call seven days a week, or a week, and a month is called a month. We don't use terms like the first month, the willow month, or the dragon boat month. Only the lunar calendar, which is the old calendar, has these terms."
"Oh, but if we only have one day off a week, that's four days a month. I'm afraid the delivery date will be delayed, and we'll have to lose money."
Ding Youtian had a strong ability to accept things and changed his tone immediately.
"Not at the same time. Unless there are any special circumstances, only one person can take a day off. This way, the rest of the people can still make room. Don't we have Brother Qiu to help us?"
"I understand. Taking turns to rest is fine. Then I'll just listen to you, mother... I'll listen to you."
Jian Ning glanced at me sideways and said with a smile, "I was just about to respond when you called me mom."
"That's fine, just agree." Ding Youtian raised his lips to a wicked smile, "But if you agree, I'll have to eat..."
Seeing Jane Ning move her hands, he stopped in time and took half a step back.
"Watch out for your dog head!" Jian Ning waved the spatula and yelled at him.
"What did I say? I didn't say anything."
You rascal! Don't think she didn't know what he wanted to say just now. Jane Ning gouged his eyes viciously, opened the lid of the pot, and put the soaked sedge in.
After covering the pot, she turned around and saw Ding Youtian still standing there looking at her with his lips curled. Her ears flushed, "Get away from me!"
"If I die, you'll be a widow." He suppressed a laugh and turned around, then walked to the door and circled again. "I almost forgot, the Grand Tutor said the convoy and craftsmen delivering colored glaze will be here in the next two days. Do you think we should install a colored glaze skylight? That way the house will be much brighter."
Ding Youtian had gone to the county to take the examination for a Tongsheng degree. He had seen a bookstore with a glazed skylight, which made the whole room very bright and well lit.
"There's no need for a skylight. We can just replace all the windows with glazed windows. Glass is actually better and more transparent. If we have a craftsman, we can make the glass ourselves. Brother Ma should know a thing or two about this."
"You and him, have you known each other before?"
Jane Ning didn't hide it from him anymore. "Yes, we are both from the same SWAT team. He is the captain of the SWAT team, and I am one of his officers. It's like the relationship between a captain and a constable."
So that's how it is. Ding Youtian's eyebrows relaxed. "So he is in charge of you and is your immediate superior."
"It was before, but not now."
After saying that, Jian Ning looked at him and asked, "Anything else?"
Ding Youtian wanted to say, couldn't he just stay here if everything was fine? After last night, he felt something had quietly changed. After all, they were now people who had experienced life and death together.
"What are you going to wear tonight?" He finally thought of a topic. Glancing at Jane Ning's clothes, he said, "It's not appropriate to wear something too bright. Why not wear that green dress you made yourself? It's a more subdued color."
He was referring to the blue cloth that Ma Xiaomai, the Tian family's wife, had sent over. It was snatched away by the Meng family and then reclaimed by her husband, and it was bought by Huo Jincheng and given to the Ma family. Jian Ning used it to make a long gown for him and Dabao, and used the rest to make a half-length dress for herself.
Jane Ning's sewing skills were not very good. Although her stitches were not crooked, they were far inferior to Chang's. So she never wore the clothes after they were made.
Ding Youtian and Dabao have both worn it several times.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and wear that one."
After the medicine was ready, Jian Ning took it outside and told them to drink a bowl of it after it cooled down. Then he told them that each of the Seven Stars could take a day off from work in the future, but they had to give notice a day in advance and could not launch a surprise attack.
"Will one day's wages be deducted?" asked Cui Gu.
"No, only if you take an extra day off that month will it be deducted." Jian Ning looked at Uncle Ding San again, "It's the same with Uncle San. If you want to take a day off, just tell me a day in advance."
