A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

The lively wedding banquet ended.

After the crowd dispersed, Mrs. Chen and the women who helped packed up and cleaned up the leftovers on the table. Ma Daqiang found five or six men to return all the tables, chairs and benches from each house.

There is strength in numbers, and the pots and pans after the meal are quickly washed and taken back by the people who borrowed them.

After everyone had finished their work, Chen Changsheng asked everyone to share some of the packed leftovers and take them home. He also sealed an extra small red envelope worth ten cents, so that everyone's help could not be in vain.

People don’t mind if they pack leftovers. After all, they have just filled their stomachs these days, so they must not be wasted.

After the helpers left, only Chen Changsheng, mother and son, and the workers who were still working were left.

"Mom, Erlu and I went to the mountains to chop some firewood and come back and get some hay."

In order to prepare for today's wedding banquet, almost all the dry firewood stored in the house in advance has been burned. After a busy day, everyone is sweating profusely. They must take a shower at night, especially his mother and Sixi, who also have to take a shower. It is used to boil water, so firewood must be prepared.

The hay was prepared for the chicken coops, duck nests and rabbit cages built in the new house. He, Chen Dafu, wanted to live in the new house immediately, and he also needed to make comfortable new nests for the chickens and ducks at home.

Chen Changsheng nodded in agreement, "You two go ahead. Remember to come back before dark. The road in the mountains is difficult, so be careful."

The two brothers Chen Dafu and Chen Erlu agreed, took the poles and went out.

The beaming of the new house is finished, and all that remains is to install rafters, lay wooden floors, and finally add mud and tiles. Once the tiles are finished, the house is almost ready.

The tiles were brought back and piled in the open space in the backyard.

Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and decided that it was time to pay the people who transported the tiles their wages.

She cannot be a boss who defaults on wages or deducts wages. As long as the workers complete their work with quality and quantity, she will be able to pay their wages on time.

"Sixi, come in." Chen Changsheng shouted from inside the room, "Is there the list Mom asked you to record before?"

"Here I am."

Si Xi turned around and rummaged in the cabinet and found a list, "Following your instructions, I registered the transportation of tiles by Mr. Daniu and other uncles. Please take a look, Mom."

Chen Changsheng took the order. The handwriting on it was delicate and childish. It recorded in detail how many trips Chen Daniu and others made, the number of tablets per trip, the date of each shipment, etc. It was extremely detailed.

Chen Changsheng was a little surprised.

She just gave a brief explanation. Unexpectedly, this little girl recorded everything clearly, and she has some talent in accounting.

"You and Sanshou, go to each house according to the list on the list and notify them to come over. Just say that Mom will pay everyone's wages now."

"okay!"

Si Xi turned around and went out, pulling Chen Sanshou and running outside, eager to tell everyone the good news.

Chen Changsheng sat down, took the list and started calculating the wages of these people.

There are a total of twelve trucks transporting tiles to her family, and each truck costs thirty cents per day. Some people work for more days, and some work for fewer days, so the calculations are not consistent.

She made a table with a pencil, bought a calculator from the bracelet store, and started pressing the buttons familiarly.

"Return to zero."

With the help of a calculator, Chen Changsheng spent less than ten minutes calculating everything.

There are more than four taels of silver in total, and each person has three hundred yuan.

She found a bamboo basket and poured all the more than 4,000 copper coins she had prepared in advance into it. She tried to lift the bamboo basket with both hands and weighed it. It was quite heavy.

When the villagers at the tile transport site heard that they were going to be paid, they all ran as fast as they could, and soon they all gathered in the courtyard of Chen Changsheng's house.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the bamboo basket placed next to Chen Changsheng. It was full of copper plates!

Exactly how many, they don't know.

In short, there are many, many, so many that I have never seen in my life!

Everyone is very excited!

Some mothers-in-law and women who were busy at home were also attracted by the movement and came to join in the fun.

Chen Changsheng's eyes circled around a dozen people, and finally fell on Chen Daniu, who was standing at the front.

She said loudly, "These days, you guys have been transporting tiles to my new house and have traveled back and forth to the city more than ten times. Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Daniu and others looked at each other below. Everyone's face was indeed tanned a lot, but this was what they were supposed to do. It was not hard work. Carrying luggage at the dock in the city was much harder than this. The wages were not as high as theirs. Earn more.

"Today, taking advantage of the happy day of Liang Liang, I want to have a double happiness and settle the wages for these days for everyone. Let's start with Uncle Da Niu!"

When Chen Daniu heard his name, he rubbed his hands and walked onto the stage first.

Chen Changsheng looked at the list and said, "Uncle Danniu transported the tiles for fifteen days, and the total wages were four hundred and fifty cash."

After Sanshou and Sixi listened, they cooperated and quickly counted and strung the copper coins.

When the heavy copper plate fell on Chen Daniu's hand, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh, it's quite heavy."

Everyone below burst into laughter.

The mother-in-law and aunt who were watching the excitement enviously joked, "Old Niutou, if you think Shen can't move it, I have endless strength. I will move it for you and move it back to my house."

Chen Daniu himself also started laughing, with the corner of his mouth almost reaching behind his ears. A trace of blush appeared on his dark face, and he said with a naive smile, "I can move it, I can move it."

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Uncle Daniu, please count and see if the number is correct."

"Yes, yes, Damn Dafu, you are the most trustworthy and reliable person. This is the first time I have seen so much money! Hehe..."

Everyone in the yard is happy.

Chen Changsheng continued to read other people's names.

"Chen Shuisheng."

"Chen Dazhu."

"Chen Tiejun."

"... "

The men whose names were read came up one by one to receive their wages, and everyone was smiling.

The one with the most was Chen Daniu, with a total of 450 Wen, and the least was 270 Wen.

After the wages were paid, Chen Changsheng pointed at a wage payment and collection form and said warmly, "Since everyone has received their wages and the amount is correct, please sign here on the list to indicate that you have received your wages."

Keep official business in order to prevent anyone from wrangling in the future.

"Damn it, I am illiterate and can't write my own name."

"I can't write names either."

"I also…"

None of the twelve people working there could read, let alone write their names.

One of them whispered, "It would be great if I could read like several of your dolls, Dafu Niang."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're such a bigot and you still want to be literate." Another man interrupted, "I just hope I can earn more money so that my boy can read a few words. At least he can write his own name."
