Chapter 214 The Tenth Day
In a blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of the New Year.
early morning.
Zhao Yi arrived at the door of the repair shop. At this time, Zhang Xiang was preparing to buy vegetables. Zhang Xiang was responsible for purchasing fresh vegetables for the restaurant every day. After buying them, Chen Fen and her two sisters were responsible for picking and washing them.
"Second brother."
Zhao Yi greeted with a smile.
As soon as Zhang Xiang saw Zhao Yi sitting next to the dining table at the door, he sat down as well.
"Brother, I'm going to trouble you to take care of the restaurant. If you receive a banquet, just agree to it. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it. We will be there in a day."
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Xiang and explained.
Sooner or later, Zhang Xiang will have to adapt to the management here. If he follows Su Hong to the south where there is really room for development, Zhao Yi will not be able to take care of this side anymore.
Others may not know, but Zhao Yi knows that prices will soar in the future. Even if one saves 100,000 yuan now, which is an astronomical sum of money for people today, it won't take many years to find that the money is worthless at all.
Zhao Yi naturally doesn't want to miss the opportunity of having a noble person to guide his development. There will not be many noble people around people, and if you miss the opportunity, you will miss it.
Zhao Yi remembered that in his previous life, when the developed cities in the south were full of factories, there were still brick and tile houses everywhere here, and many people had to leave their hometowns in order to do odd jobs.
No matter what others think, I want to see it with my own eyes.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyi. I will follow your second sister-in-law and watch over this place carefully. There will be no mistakes."
Zhang Xiang nodded.
"Brother, I feel relieved when you say this."
Zhao Yi nodded.
"By the way, starting this year, your and Second Sister-in-law's salary will be increased to 50 yuan a month, and Xiao Jiao and Xiao Min's will be increased to 20 yuan a month. Don't rush to refuse and listen to me.
Money is not earned by one person alone, and don't say you are not worth the price. Without your hard work, our restaurant cannot continue to operate. Since the restaurant has good income, everyone will have a better income and bring more income to the family. ”
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Xiang and said.
"You've said everything you need to say. What else can I say? A salary increase would be a big deal for anyone, but Xiaoyi, I really want to say that your second sister-in-law and I can't possibly get such a high salary."
When Zhang Xiang heard Zhao Yi say this, he was very happy from the bottom of his heart, but he also felt a little embarrassed. Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing were the ones who took care of everything, and he was just doing his normal work.
Not to mention fifty yuan a month, even if it's thirty yuan a month, the chefs in the village who handle weddings and funerals would rush to do it.
"Second brother, you can't deny your own abilities. If you don't even believe in yourself, who else can believe in you?"
Zhao Yi waved his hand and smiled.
"Since you said so, how can I not listen?"
Zhang Xiang nodded.
Then Zhao Yi walked into the repair shop.
Zhang Xiang went to the vegetable market.
evening.
As soon as Zhang Jing got off work, she followed Zhao Yi straight to the bus station, and the two of them met at her aunt's house.
They hired a tractor and headed towards Lijia Village.
Seeing Zhao Yu and Zhao Qin walk into the yard, Zhao Gang, Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yong walked up to greet them enthusiastically.
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing paid the fare and then slowly came over.
"cousin."
Seeing Li Baoyu and others surrounding him with smiles.
Everyone surrounded Zhao Yi and walked towards his second uncle's house.
After chatting for a while, everyone started to rest. The funeral would be held in the early morning, so they had to get some rest now.
"Cousin, if we don't go to work at the restaurant, will the restaurant be able to handle the work?"
Li Baoyu looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
Zhao Yi smiled slightly and knew what the little girl was thinking. The restaurant was not busy enough for her to come over, and no one else was invited to work. Wouldn't it be too difficult for him to go back and chase them away after wasting so much time?
"Silly girl, you are my cousin and you work honestly. How can I let you do nothing? Your sister-in-law has hired two of her best friends to help you. Just give them the wages for these days."
Zhao Yi joked.
"It's what they should be. They should be paid for the work they have done."
Li Baoyu smiled, knowing that his job was still there, he was very happy.
After chatting for a while, everyone began to rest. The funeral would be held early tomorrow morning and the old lady had to be sent to the mountain.
early morning.
Before daybreak, everyone got up one after another.
When Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing arrived at their uncle's yard, the tiles had already been broken. As soon as the tiles broke, firecrackers were lit, and the village's King Kongs carried the coffin to the door and prepared to set up the dragon pole.
Eight people stood in front and eight behind, with brother-in-law Zhao Dahai walking in front holding a soul-calling banner, and relatives and friends following behind the coffin.
When the cannon for lifting the coffin was fired, my mother Li Daju burst into tears, thinking that they would never see each other again in this life.
Suddenly, tears began to flow from my eldest aunt, second aunt, and several cousins.
Zhao Yi supported his aunt, and Zhang Jing supported her mother Li Daju, and they walked all the way into the mountains.
It took more than an hour to see the coffin off after leaving Lijia Village. When we reached the foot of the mountain, except for the filial son and the people who helped carry the coffin, no one else needed to see it off.
Mother Li Daju sat on the side of the road wiping her tears, watching the coffin gradually moving away.
"Mom, you can't cry anymore."
Zhao Yi reminded.
This is also a custom. You cannot cry on this last journey.
After hearing Zhao Yi's reminder, Li Daju stopped crying and followed everyone back to the village. They could not look back during this period.
When we got back to the village, everyone had already started setting up the banquet.
Zhao Yi, Li Baohua, Li Baoguo and several other villagers were arranged to eat first, and after eating they had to deliver food to the people who were carrying the coffin into the mountain.
When they arrived at the mountain, everyone had already placed the coffin and started building the grave.
After Zhao Yi delivered the food, he had nothing to do and helped everyone with some odd jobs.
Li Baohua and Li Baoguo went to the grave and added two handfuls of soil, then pulled Li Baoguo away.
"Look, Brother Yi has been doing everything here, but they do nothing. They just wait for meals every day and tell others how to cook delicious dishes. Since he knows how to cook delicious dishes, why doesn't he cook them himself?"
Li Baohua was particularly unhappy. If it weren't for the fact that it was the new mourning period for the old lady, he would have been unable to resist and would have chased them away.
"Xiaohua, you are still young, so it's normal that you can't control your temper. Let's talk about it after this is over. People don't like our family because they don't have as much work as them, so they don't want to associate with us. They just come over reluctantly because they are afraid that they will ask me for something in the future. I know everything."
Li Baoguo patted his cousin on the shoulder and said.
"If they have anything to do in the future, it's better not to invite me to their house. I won't go even if they do."
After saying this, Li Baohua turned around and came back here, watching over everyone as they ate and drank, waiting for them to finish eating and pack up to go back.
"Cousin, stop working. You can't help much. Let's go back and prepare the afternoon meal."
Li Baohua greeted Zhao Yi.
"OK."
Zhao Yi nodded. He really couldn't help much. He just helped move some stones. His strength was not even as good as the youngest person here.
