Chapter 104 Paying wages



Just the day before the Chinese New Year, the road in Xujia Village was finally repaired, and the workers were lining up in front of the Xu family's house waiting to be paid!

Everyone had a smile on their face. In order to pay the wages this time, Wang specially asked Uncle Xu to go to the town to exchange a lot of copper coins.

Their daily wage was 25 wen, which was 750 wen a month. Because Chinese New Year was approaching, the Xu family wanted to celebrate, so they rounded up the wages to an even number, giving each person 800 wen.

The workers were extremely happy when they received the money. Everyone thanked the government politely after receiving the money. Fifty cents could buy three pounds of pork, so how could they not be happy!

After receiving the money, everyone rushed home impatiently. Soon all the workers from other villages left, leaving only the villagers working on the greenhouse vegetables.

The old man started to speak, "Everyone, after receiving your wages today, go home and spend the New Year in peace. After the New Year, you can come back to work. In addition, my family has not prepared any New Year gifts for everyone this year. Each person will receive one or two taels of silver, and the rest will be your year-end bonus!"

Qibao was the one who proposed this year-end bonus. After all, they were from his village, and they kept the greenhouse in good order, so he didn't need to worry about it, so it was worth it.

When the villagers heard this, they exclaimed, "Uncle, this is too much, isn't it? It's four hundred more coins!"

"yes!"

The old man waved his hand and said, "It's not all your fault. Normally, when it's time to pick the fruits, the women in your family would come and help. You can't let them work for nothing, right? Go back and take good care of your wives. If they didn't care about you, they wouldn't have come to do this hard work, understand?"

A man scratched his head and laughed: "I know, I must feel bad for my wife..."

"Hahaha…"

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter.

The old man smiled and said, "Also, Chunsheng is the manager of the greenhouse and has a lot to worry about. So, my family plans to give Chunsheng two taels of silver. Does anyone have any objections?"

Xu Daniu said, "Uncle, we don't have any objections. Brother Chunsheng does more work than us. We usually just weed and water the vegetables in the greenhouse we are responsible for, and we don't have to do anything after that. But Brother Chunsheng has to inspect every greenhouse back and forth. He is also very responsible. He deserves the wages. I have no objection!"

"Me neither!"

"Yes, we are already content!"

The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, Chunsheng, come here and get your wages!"

Xu Chunsheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Uncle, did you give me too much? I feel uneasy!"

"I've seen everything you've done. You deserve this money. My family can't treat you unfairly! Take it!" The old man stuffed the two taels of silver he had prepared into Xu Chunsheng's hands.

After Xu Chunsheng expressed his gratitude, his face was as bright as a flower. He had never earned so much in a month before!

Seeing that Xu Chunsheng had already put the silver into his pocket, the others could not wait any longer and spontaneously lined up to get the silver.

Wang handed the silver to the villagers one by one. The villagers took the money and hurried home, intending to share this joy with their families.

Soon there were no other villagers in front of the Xu family except the Xu family, and Xu Laosan moved the table used to pay wages back home.

Wang said happily, "We can finally have a good New Year this year. Later, when the eldest brother drives the ox cart, I will go to the town to buy some candy and melon seeds. If the children in the village come to pay New Year's greetings, I can grab a handful and give them some sweets."

The old man said, "You women can take care of these things. Let the boss drive the ox cart to take you to town!"

Wang said, "Okay, the three of you come with me! And by the way, pick up the children. Wenwu said they have a day off today, so it's just in time."

Qibao didn't go because Xiaoling told her just now that the space had been upgraded.

As soon as Qibao entered the space, he felt that it was different from before. Looking around, he found that the spiritual spring was as big as a lake. The spiritual spring water inside was richer than before, and the area was wider than before. Next to the spiritual mountain with fruit trees behind the house, two larger peaks emerged, which seemed to be a small world of its own.

Xiao Ling was sitting on the grass at this time with her eyes closed. There was a faint white light between her eyebrows. Qibao did not disturb her and stood there waiting for Xiao Ling to wake up.

After a while, Xiao Ling opened his eyes and saw his master standing in front of him. He walked up to him happily and said, "This upgrade of the space contains a surprise that the master can't imagine!"

Qibao asked doubtfully, "Besides the fact that the space is much larger, is there anything else different?"

"From now on, anything that comes with the space will be automatically filled! Isn't this great news?"

Qibao was a little surprised and asked, "You mean, from now on, whenever I take anything out of this space, I'll immediately get another identical one?"

"Yes, from now on, you won't have to be reluctant to drink the drinks in the kitchen refrigerator, and there are also some snacks that are not available outside!"

Qibao was very happy. She had never been willing to take it out to eat before. She would only take a little to satisfy her craving when she really wanted to. After all, these things could not be made in the outside world.

"Great! I can take some out for my family to try. Before, there was too little, not enough to share, so I simply didn't take any. Now I can finally let my family taste the food from her past life!"

Xiao Ling said: "This time I upgraded, I also obtained a forbidden technique, which will be of great help to the master in the future!"

Qibao asked, "Since it's a forbidden technique, will it have a negative impact on you?"

Xiao Ling was very happy because the owner did not ask what benefits it would bring to him first, but instead considered his safety, which made him very touched.
