Chapter 414: Salary Payment! - Daily Life of the Sickly Young Aunt Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

After Lin Qing got to work, he was the first to collect his and Cen Xi's wages. However, he didn't expect to receive an unexpected surprise when he collected it.

"Sister Ma, what is this?"

"Bonus, an extra bonus for your Mr. Cen."

"Ah? There's a bonus? How come I didn't know about it?" Lin Qing, a clerk in the Finance Department, didn't even know about it.

"They're not in the group you're in charge of. They probably want to give you a surprise!"

"Oh!" Lin Qing smiled. He was indeed surprised when he received his salary.

Sister Ma just took the envelope and squeezed it. The bonus of 500 yuan was quite substantial.

She looked at Lin Qing with a bit of envy. She was a capable person, and the man she found was even more capable. Basically, every month when she received her salary, in addition to the amount of salary, there would always be some extra bills as rewards. This time, she even directly received a large bonus.

In fact, not only Engineer Cen received bonuses, but many other engineers and researchers also received bonuses, but the sizes varied.

Mr. Cen is just the one with the most!

However, if you think about the extra orders their factory received this month and the extra profits on the books, you can see how much Engineer Cen has contributed to their factory, and it is well deserved for him to receive the bonus.

Lin Qing also squeezed the envelope in her hand, still somewhat unable to believe it. They usually paid their salaries in big black tens, and only used loose change for the remainder. So, the thick envelope in her hand was also filled with big black tens. It was exciting just to think about it!

She tried her best to pretend to be calm, put the envelope away, and prepared to return to her seat.

"Hey! Wait, wait, Lin Qing, please count it and see if the five hundred yuan is missing!" Sister Ma hurriedly stopped him.

Why are you in such a hurry? The money hasn't been counted yet, what if something is missing?

The stack is so thick, if one note is missing it would cost ten yuan!

"Oh! I almost forgot." Every time paycheck is paid, the person who comes to collect the pay will count it again to avoid mistakes. She was a little too excited just now and almost forgot.

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Lin Qing slowly took out the envelope and poured out a stack of banknotes.

Lin Qing's eyes lit up and she began to count the money. She was very familiar with the way she did it, which was also one of the essential skills of their finance department.

Although I was a little excited, my hands didn't shake at all, and I finished it quickly and easily.

The colleague next to her also followed her hands, flipping them and quickly counting.

Fifty cards, not a single one missing, all brand new big black tens, so enviable!

Lin Qing nodded, stuffed the bill back into the envelope and put it away, "Sister Ma, I've done the math. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Okay, sign it!"

"Hey! I almost forgot about this."

Lin Qing returned to his seat after completing a series of procedures, his face flushed with excitement.

Although her family's savings were more than 500 yuan, she was still a little excited when she received more than 500 yuan in one deposit.

The man felt a little dazed all morning.

"Qingqing, I heard that your engineer Cen received a bonus of 500 yuan this month?" Fu Huihui and Lin Qing said enviously while having lunch in the cafeteria.

"How do you know?" Lin Qing asked stupidly.

"It's been out since morning, right? I believe everyone in the factory knows about it."

"So fast?"

"Please do not doubt the speed at which gossip spreads in our factory."

"That's right." Lin Qing thought about the past and realized that other things also spread quickly, but this time the protagonists were her and Cen Xi.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing suddenly felt a headache. She might have a hard time today.

"But if you ask me, I think that Mr. Cen deserves the bonus. I heard that other researchers and engineers also received it, but not as much."

After hearing this, Lin Qing felt relieved. At least there were other people who shared the same opinion as them.

In the afternoon, Lin Qing walked into the yard as usual, and immediately smelled the overbearing aroma of meat.

She immediately turned her gaze towards the Jiang family. Aunt Jiang was in a good mood and was busy in front of the stove. It was obvious that she had really fulfilled what she said in the morning.

Lin Qing also walked slowly back home. They didn't cook meat today as they had just finished eating it two days ago. She didn't go out of her way to take back the meat coupons that had just been issued at noon today.

Anyway, the supply and marketing cooperative will definitely have meat today and tomorrow. If you don’t buy it today, just go tomorrow. The earlier you go, you will always be able to buy it.

Before long, other workers in the yard gradually returned, as well as the children who had already finished school.

Jiang Dahu and Jiang Erhu had been lying on the stove window, their eyes never leaving the stove.

Other homes with children were also bustling.

"Okay, okay, stop making a fuss, I'll buy it tomorrow, I'll buy it tomorrow."

"Meat, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat..."

"I told you I'd buy it tomorrow. It's too late today. If you keep crying, you won't be able to eat it tomorrow." When coaxing didn't work, he started threatening you verbally.

The children who could understand stopped crying immediately, fearing that they would not have meat tomorrow.

Su Dazhuang and Su Erzhuang looked at each other with their mouths watering, "Mom! We want to eat meat too."

"Wait until tomorrow." Qin Xianglian felt a little sad. She only had half a pound of meat ticket in her hand, and it would be gone if she spent it.

"Yeah!" the two brothers cheered.

Even though they know there will be meat to eat tomorrow, it doesn't stop them from drooling at the other side now.

Aunt Gu didn't sell meat today, so Gu Dabao was making a fuss at home. Aunt Gu tried to coax him again and again, but it was all in vain. She became even angrier at Aunt Jiang across the street.

At the dinner table, Gu Dabao was crying and Gu Dama was scolding him, "He just wants to show off, as if he's afraid that others don't know that they eat meat."

"Mom, don't worry about them, we will buy them tomorrow." Gu Hang advised.

"Dabao, don't cry. We'll buy some meat tomorrow! Then you'll have all of them, don't cry!"

Gu Dabao twitched twice while crying, and then blinked. He thought about it with his slow little brain, and it seemed that it was not impossible. Then he could show off in front of Dahu and Erhu...

Thinking of this, I gradually stopped crying.

Aunt Jiang behaves like a nobody when she's cooking dinner, and she still behaves like a nobody after she's eaten.

Lin Qing was washing dishes at the faucet. Aunt Jiang stood at the door and picked her teeth with her fingernails. "This is the bad thing about eating too much meat. It easily gets stuck in your teeth!"

The sound was deliberately made very loud, as if he was afraid that others would not notice.

Lin Qingquan pretended not to hear. Her family had no shortage of meat and they ate it several times a week. Some of the meat was bought by themselves, and some was brought back from the canteen. She was relatively indifferent to what Aunt Jiang said and had no idea that it was directed at her.

Aunt Jiang obviously didn't want to give up. "Oh, I ate a pound of meat in this meal. It almost made me die of heartache." She said she felt heartbroken but had a smile on her face.

Lin Qing rinsed the washed dishes again with clean water, and when he was done, he took the basin and went home.
