Buckwheat ate with big mouthfuls and discussed with Yingying curiously.
"My aunt doesn't like to eat anything too sweet."
Cheng Maixiang casually made up a reason.
In her previous life, she had been to Gangcheng countless times and had tried all the snacks there. She was tired of them a long time ago. Now, she didn't have much interest in seeing these things. Besides, the children liked to eat them, so she gave most of the snacks to the four little ones of the Cheng family.
There were a total of 260 boxes of two kinds of snacks. According to the 126 households in the village, each household was given two boxes of snacks, so there were eight boxes of snacks left.
Cheng's mother happened to walk in from outside, and when she saw the four large boxes on the ground, she sighed deeply.
"Has Xiaojia and Maizi's marriage not been notified to the Qin family yet?"
Cheng Maixiang did not hide the fact that Lin Jiayu's biological parents were in Gangcheng from her mother. No matter what Lin Jiayu did in this marriage, he would first seek Cheng's mother's opinion, but he never mentioned notifying the Qin family from beginning to end.
Lin Qingwan also sighed softly, "Xiao Jia has been stubborn since he was young. Once he's made up his mind, no one can persuade him. This time, he refused to inform the Qin family no matter what. I tried to persuade him several times, but he just wouldn't listen."
Wei Lingcheng was smiling as he watched Qiaomai and Yingying eat their snacks. The two girls' faces were stained like cats. After hearing what Lin Qingwan said, he stood up and patted her shoulder. "Xiaojia has grown up and has his own ideas. Besides, this is his marriage, so we should respect his opinion."
Lin Qingwan said nothing for a long time, then sighed.
Cheng's mother was Lin Jiayu's mother-in-law, so it was naturally difficult for her to express any opinions on the matter. So she stuffed the account book into Cheng Maixiang's hand and said with a smile, "Maizi, I have calculated the accounts for this year. The garment factory has made a lot of money this year."
Cheng Maixiang opened the account book and flipped through a few pages carefully. The numbers in the account book seemed to turn into gold ingots and jumped into her eyes.
She naturally knew that the garment factory made a lot of money, but she never expected that the garment factory actually made so much money.
Last year, after deducting costs, the garment factory earned a full 6,000 yuan, but this year's profits have increased eighty or nine times.
Although the year-end wages of the female workers in the garment workshop have not been paid yet, it doesn't cost much money. By this calculation, the profit of the garment workshop this year is about 50,000 yuan. According to the agreement signed between her and the village, the village can take out 35,000 yuan in dividends this time.
Cheng Maixiang checked the accounts with the village accountant and confirmed that there were no problems. Then the two of them went to the county bank several times to withdraw the money.
This era was different from later generations. There was only one bank in the entire country, the "People's Bank of China", and residents had very little spare money to deposit in the bank. Most of the money was used to serve various units.
As for rural people, no one comes to the county bank to deposit money. After all, since the 1950s, the People's Bank of China has established rural credit cooperatives in rural areas. Members contribute money to form the capital, and farmers who need money can borrow money. In essence, farmers help each other financially.
As a result, most farmers deal with credit unions and have nothing to do with the county bank.
However, Cheng Maixiang, who came from the future, was more willing to trust the national bank with better credit. After all, banks could conduct a lot of business. The money of the supply and marketing cooperative and Guangshi Garment Factory all went through the People's Bank of China. She didn't want to make it too troublesome, so she simply set up an account in the county bank to facilitate the flow of funds in the garment workshop.
Shuangshui Village decided to distribute dividends and snacks on the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, and posted a notice on the bulletin board outside the brigade headquarters a week in advance.
There are about a thousand people in Shuangshui Village. This time, each person can get 35 to 40 yuan. Those with large families can get several hundred yuan.
If every household could get at least 16 pieces last year, the people of Shuangshui Village would be so excited that they didn't know what to do. This time, the income increased nearly tenfold, and the people of Shuangshui Village were simply shocked.
The country people have been working in the fields for generations. They have never seen anyone doing nothing and getting so much money just because they are from this village.
This explosive news spread throughout the entire Red Star Commune that day. People from all over the place were envious of Shuangshui Village, and many unmarried girls were willing to marry into Shuangshui Village. The girls in Shuangshui Village looked down on any village in the commune except those in the city. For a time, the value of unmarried young men in Shuangshui Village soared, and they became much more assertive during blind dates.
The year-end salary of Shuangshui Village Garment Factory is set on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the same day as the village's dividends. This is an old rule set since last year. This year, the garment factory has made so much money for the whole village. Cheng Maixiang plans to let all the female workers in the garment factory share this dividend.
In addition to the wages paid according to the contract, Cheng Maixiang specially calculated each person's annual income and added half a year's income to each person as dividends. Now, each female worker received a few hundred yuan more.
Cheng Maixiang did not use the village dividends for this part of the money, but took it out from the one-third she deserved and distributed it to the female workers.
When Shen Qingyun's wife announced the news in the garment workshop, the female workers in the workshop could not believe their ears and asked again and again whether the news was true or not. When they learned that the news was true, everyone surrounded Cheng's mother and kept thanking her.
“Sister Shen, do we from other villages have a half-year award?”
Fang Xiaoyan glanced at the fourteen people behind her. They were all recruited when the garment factory expanded this year. They heard that Cheng Maixiang was giving an extra half-year bonus and were afraid that it was only targeting the people in Shuangshui Village, so they nominated her to ask.
Shen Qingyun's wife smiled and said, "Silly sister, ever since you joined the garment factory, Maizi has never looked at you differently. You've always had everything the old employees have. When the garment factory gave out cakes in the past, when has it ever left you out? Don't worry, Maizi specifically said that this time it's for everyone in the garment factory. Don't forget to bring a net bag with you so you can take those two boxes of Gangcheng snacks back."
