Chapter 38 She is naive, but not stupid
Go home and divide the money. Yesterday, they harvested 106 kilograms of agar-agar seeds. After deducting the cost, Xu Zhichun earned a little more than two taels of silver. Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhu'er each earned a few dozen coins. Liang Mingliang's rent for the ox cart was fixed at 40 coins, which he was very satisfied with - after all, his wife earned a lot.
They closed their stall and went back early, but Uncle Yang Ming and others who were reclaiming land were still busy with the work and had not yet gone home for lunch.
When they saw the sun was at its highest point, they felt tired and hungry, so they said goodbye to each other and went home to eat and rest before coming back.
Anyway, it was agreed to be done in three days. At their speed, there will definitely be no problem. It can't be considered as being lazy.
Xu Zhichun had already returned, and they came to say hello to Xu Zhichun on their way back.
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "I was just about to go greet you, Uncle Yang Ming and Brother Mingjia. You must be tired after working so hard all day. Go back and have some lunch and rest before coming back. I bought some big steamed buns. You can each take two back."
Xu Zhichun came out with a small basket of steamed buns. The big, snow-white buns were bigger than an adult man's fist and looked very solid. They seemed to smell the tempting aroma of white flour.
Uncle Yang Ming and the others were dumbfounded.
"Gurgle!"
The sound of Liang Chunfen swallowing broke the stunned silence.
Uncle Yang Ming waved his hands quickly: "How can this be possible? We've already received our wages, this is not possible."
"Yeah yeah!"
It's not that I don't want to eat white flour buns, but you should know that even at home, they only use black flour to make steamed buns. They only steam white flour buns during Chinese New Year or the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you live in a less developed family, you won't even have them during Chinese New Year or Mid-Autumn Festival.
This was not a cheap thing. They were a little worried that Xu Zhichun would deduct their wages if he gave them white flour buns.
Although white flour buns are delicious, the wages are more delicious.
Seventy-five cents can only buy twelve or thirteen pounds of white flour, but can buy twenty-five pounds of black flour.
Every bite of white flour bun costs money.
How could Xu Zhichun know what they were thinking?
"Uncle Yang Ming, you're welcome. I bought this especially for you. You do hard labor and can't let your health suffer. Two steamed buns aren't much. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
"this--"
Everyone looked at each other and heard what Zhichun meant - no deduction in wages?
Liang Mingjia shamelessly asked, "Zhichun, are you giving us these steamed buns for free? Won't you deduct our wages?"
yes!
This was the meaning in everyone's eyes.
Xu Zhichun was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
That’s what she said!
"Of course not. The wages are agreed upon, twenty-five cents, and this steamed bun is an additional allowance, not deducted from the wages."
"real!"
"ah!"
"Of course it's true, Uncle Yang Ming, please don't be polite. Hurry up and take the steamed buns home and take a rest."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Zhichun!"
"Don't worry, Zhichun, we will definitely do our job well."
Everyone was happy and relieved. They took the steamed buns and went home quickly.
What a pleasant surprise! The kids at home will be so happy, and my parents and daughter-in-law can also have a taste.
Liang Chunfen was left behind by Xu Zhichun on an excuse, and he gave her an extra one without telling the others, "Do it quietly and don't let anyone know you got an extra one." There were still two left for her children.
In fact, even if they knew, no one would say anything. Xu Zhichun's things, she can give them to whoever she wants, not to mention Liang Chunfen is so naive, who would compete with her?
It's just that everyone worked together, and Duliang Chunfen got an extra share, which is not a good thing to show in public.
Liang Chunfen nodded and smiled innocently: "Sister-in-law Zhichun also knows that I have a big appetite, hehe!"
Xu Zhichun smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Liang Chunfen patted his chest and said, "Although I eat a lot, I also work hard."
Xu Zhichun gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Yeah, I know, you are very good!"
"Haha!" Liang Chunfen grinned with joy. No one had ever praised her like this before. Others would only say, "Oh my God, this silly girl is so strong!", or "Who would dare to marry this silly girl with such strength? She can beat a man to death if she doesn't get along with her." and so on. Anyway, they didn't sound like good words.
Don't think she doesn't understand.
She is just naive, not stupid.
Liang Chunfen was so happy that she wanted to jump up and spin around. She looked at Xu Zhichun with eyes full of stars. "Sister-in-law Zhichun, you are such a good person! I will definitely work hard!"
Liang Chunfen said this and turned and ran away.
Xu Zhichun, who was given the good guy card, chuckled and thought, this girl is also a good person.
Liang Chunfen ran all the way home, entered the fenced yard and shouted, "Mom! Mom!"
Chunfen's mother was cooking rice porridge mixed with beans for lunch. When she heard her daughter yelling, she thought something was wrong and ran out in fright: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Liang Chunfen excitedly held up the steamed buns and showed them to her: "Look, steamed buns!"
"Ah?" Chunfen Niang was stunned: "Where did this come from?"
Her tone was filled with suspicion and sternness: "Is this child going to steal? Absolutely not! Even if I starve to death, I can't be a thief."
Liang Chunfen was startled by his mother's harsh questioning. He looked at her timidly and stammered weakly, "Zhichun, Sister-in-law Zhichun gave it to me."
Chunfen's mother: "Zhichun gave it to you? Why would Zhichun give you steamed buns when she's fine?"
White flour buns! So big! Three of them!
How can this be so unbelievable?
If Chunfen's mother didn't know that the silly girl never lied, she would definitely not believe it without any doubt.
Liang Chunfen hurriedly explained, "It was given to me by Sister Zhichun. I have one more than others. She also asked me not to tell anyone. She said I was amazing and praised me!"
When Chunfenniang heard that others also had it, she felt relieved. After asking carefully, she roughly understood what was going on. She couldn't help but feel happy. She rubbed her head lovingly and said with a smile: "You know that Chunsaozi is really a good person. You must work hard."
"Yes, yes, I will! I'm very strong." Liang Chunfen smiled at her mother's smile and handed the steamed bun to her mother like a treasure: "Mom, you eat it."
Chunfen Niang laughed and sighed: "This silly girl."
She knew that although the silly girl was silly, she could be extremely stubborn when she was stubborn, so she took a small bite and pushed it back: "Mom is done, you can eat it."
Liang Chunfen laughed and started eating with big mouthfuls: "It smells so good and tastes so good!"
Chunfen's mother left two steamed buns and said, "Eat these two when your father and the others come back."
"Um."
At noon, Chunfen's father and his brother and sister-in-law Liang Minghe and Mao came back. They were surprised to see the two white flour buns. After hearing Chunfen's mother's explanation, they were also very happy.
The family shared the other two. Although there were not many, it was good to try and satisfy their cravings.
Chunfen's mother confidently gave her daughter two more spoonfuls of porridge. Although she was still not full, at least she was a little fuller.
Mao was still not satisfied and was filled with envy: "It seems that Zhichun and the others must have made a lot of money from selling things, so they are willing to spend it."
Chunfen Niang sighed: "This is her ability, it's rare that she has a good heart."
That's true. Even if other people are rich, they wouldn't be so generous.
Liang Chunfen looked at her mother eagerly: "Mom, can I continue to work for Sister Zhichun in the future?"
The whole family laughed.
Mao joked: "You do want to eat white flour buns every day."
How is that possible? No one can afford to eat white flour buns every day.
Liang Chunfen nodded, then shook her head. Her mind was a little confused, and she didn't know whether to nod or shake her head. She said naively, "Sister Zhichun praised me."
She felt happy, so she was willing to work for her.
Mao was stunned. What did she mean? Why didn't she understand? Never mind. It wasn't the first time she didn't understand what this silly girl said.
Chunfen Niang's heart moved. If, if it is really possible
