Aunt Ma stepped forward and asked with concern, "Dafu Niang, are you okay?"

She had seen Dafu running in a hurry before, and she thought Chen Changsheng was being bullied by his brother and sister-in-law, so she sent Dafu out to find reinforcements.

Chen Changsheng shook his head and smiled in relief, "Don't worry, I'm more than capable of dealing with those two people. They can't hurt me."

She looked at everyone present and picked out the eight men standing nearest. "Today is a big day for paying wages. Without further ado, please ask a few brothers to help lift the bamboo baskets off the car."

The eight people responded, working in pairs to carefully lift the basket, put it right in front of the open space, and then returned to the crowd.

Chen Changsheng cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone has been working in the kiln factory for the past two months. Thank you for your hard work. Today is the first time that Chen's Kiln Factory distributes monthly payments. Please line up first and chant Everyone whose name comes up comes up one by one to receive their salary!”

As soon as he said this, there was a burst of cheers, but everyone still started to line up in an orderly manner.

Counting the manager Ma Daju, there are a total of fifty-three people in the kiln, most of them men, and there are about a dozen women. These women mainly do the easy but careful work of pouring molds and drying the blanks.

The men and women stood on the left and right sides, and the villagers who were still chirping and chatting became quiet after they stood in a neat line. Everyone couldn't help but look at the four bamboo baskets. People standing in the back row even stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to look ahead.

"Chen Shuisheng!"

"Chen Dabao!"

"Tang Xiaolong!"

"Zhou Xiu'e!"

"... "

The men and women whose names were called came forward one after another, with excitement and joy on their faces.

Especially the women, whose faces were still filled with disbelief. I didn't expect that I could make money right at home, and make a lot of money.

"What are you doing? Go up and get your wages." Chen Changsheng reminded the woman with a smile.

She was responsible for reading the names, Aunt Ma was responsible for counting the money from the bamboo basket, and Sixi was responsible for registering.

Si Xi stood aside with a paper pad and spoke loudly, "Uncles and aunts who have received the money, please come to my side and have your fingerprints pressed."

Everyone follows order and everything is in order.

After the wages were paid, everyone was smiling. Everyone received hundreds of coins. The heavy coins could not be held in one hand, so they could only hold them tightly in their arms for fear of falling.

Chen Changsheng spoke again, "In the past two months, everyone has been working hard. With everyone's joint efforts, the bricks produced in our kiln have been recognized by the government and merchants, and the number of orders received is also quite good. ! The brick kiln factory can’t be what it is today without your dedication and hard work!”

Her tone was high-pitched and her words were impassioned. Everyone was moved emotionally, and everyone was excited and surging inside.

Even before she finished speaking, Ma Daju couldn't help but applaud. Because she was also involved in taking orders, she knew how difficult it was.

Led by Ma Daju, the others also clapped.

When the applause fell, Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "The achievements of the kiln factory are inseparable from everyone present. Among you, I have selected a few people who are extremely hard-working and outstanding. In addition to wages, several people also receive additional rewards! ”

award? !

There are even additional rewards! !

"Tang Xiaolong!"

Tang Xiaolong, who was standing in the first row, said in surprise, "Is it me?"

"Come up quickly!"

Ma Daju, Chen Shuisheng and a few people next to him all smiled and urged.

Tang Xiaolong was still confused and couldn't believe his ears.

It was extremely difficult for him, a foreigner, to settle down in Chenjia Village with his mother and younger brother. For this reason, he took the initiative to help anyone in the village who needed help, and everyone spoke highly of him.

Aunt Ma also recruited him into the kiln factory because of his hard work and reliability.

After entering the kiln factory, Tang Xiaolong was even more dedicated to his work. Every day he was the first one to arrive and the last one to leave work. He also tidied up the tools that were usually thrown around the kiln. Aunt Ma saw all of this and wrote it down in her notebook.

But in Tang Xiaolong's mind, if he seized such a good opportunity to work in a kiln factory, wouldn't he have to work hard? Isn't it his duty? Are there any additional rewards?

Chen Changsheng took out a load of copper plates from the bamboo basket and handed it to Tang Xiaolong, "This hundred cents is a reward for you. In addition, because of your outstanding performance, I have decided to promote you to team leader, and your salary will be increased by one hundred cents per month. arts...

I hope you will not disappoint my expectations, and continue to work hard in your future work! "

When she talked about something emotional, she almost wanted to reach out and pat Tang Xiaolong on the shoulder.

Looking at Tang Xiaolong again, his whole face was in a state of surprise and joy, and he almost cried with excitement.

Today he received more than one tael of silver!

Coupled with some of the money he had saved before, he had more than two taels of silver on hand. He gritted his teeth and tried to build a new house for his mother and brother by the end of the year.

"Auntie, I...I will definitely continue to do a good job! I will never let you down!"

The other kiln workers below were all envious. They also want to be group leaders and earn an extra hundred cents, but they don't endure hardships like Tang Xiaolong.

They were envious but not jealous, because that was what Tang Xiaolong deserved.

Chen Changsheng continued to read three more names and rewarded each of them with one hundred coins.

"The outstanding rewards for these two months are these four people. In the following days, I will continue to select outstanding employees for each month based on everyone's performance. Of course, there are those who perform well, and there are also some who are lagging behind. "

She looked around at the people below with sharp eyes and said, "Although I don't go to the kiln factory often, someone at the kiln factory told me that some people would take a few bricks back with them after work, and some people would go to the firewood factory specially. Go back with some dry firewood."

Hearing this, the people below couldn't help but whisper.

"Who is it? How could you do such a thing?"

"Tsk, isn't this just stealing..."

Four or five of them had red faces, pursed their lips and lowered their heads silently.

Chen Changsheng saw the strange behavior of several people and said calmly, "Actually, a brick and a piece of firewood are not worth much at all. Everyone can pick up the firewood all over the mountains and plains. But since you come to work in the kiln, don't save those crooked things. thought.

I don't care about what has happened, but I hope that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. If I find out that there are still people who continue to take advantage of others, I will fire them directly and never hire them! Did you hear everything clearly? "

"Clear!"

Those kiln workers felt regretful. If they had known it, they would not have carried the firewood.

"Okay, everyone has received a lot of money today. I will give you a holiday in the afternoon. Take the money home and put it away, but be sure not to drop it."

Everyone cheered together, not expecting that they would still have half a day's rest.

Everyone happily took the money and ran home. They couldn't wait to share the good news with their families and help the family work for another half day.
