Chapter 219 Construction Craftsmen Receive Benefits
"Everyone line up, I just checked carefully.
There are a total of 120 craftsmen today, and they are all fully present.
45 wen per person per day, a total of 1350 wen.
I'll give you another 150-wen attendance bonus.
This way everyone can get 1500 coins.
After receiving the money, be sure to count it in person.
He won't admit it after he leaves, haha." Chen Qingxin said with a smile.
"We believe in the little girl's character!" someone in the crowd shouted.
"Yes, yes, 150 is what I said, how could I give less?"
"Yes, yes, yes, everyone can see how Sister Qingxin does things!" Others echoed.
Chen Qingxin smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then continued:
“In addition, in order to cope with the upcoming snowstorms that may occur.
I will give each of you 100 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of flour, 10 kilograms of vegetable oil, 3 kilograms of salt, and 2 kilograms of sugar.
I hope these can help everyone get through this difficult time.
According to the forecast, the snow will continue on and off for two months.
Therefore, every household must prepare food and dry firewood in advance.
You also need to prepare cotton-padded clothes and quilts for the winter.
In fact, I could have ignored these things.
But we have been living in the same village for so many years, and I really can’t bear to see anything happen to you.
Finally, let me say one more thing. When the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, no one can take care of anyone else.
Everyone must understand this, don’t you understand? "
At this point, she paused, then waved her hand:
“Each household should add another 5 jin of coarse salt.
Do you know why?
When the snow on the roof becomes impossible to remove, all you can do is sprinkle salt on it to make it melt so as to avoid collapsing the roof.
This is not alarmist.
Don’t you feel that the temperature has started to drop recently? "
Village Chief Liu took over the conversation and said:
“The new girl is right, we must take it seriously.
Once the snowstorm comes, no one can take care of anyone else.
Don’t blame others if you freeze to death or starve to death! "
After listening to what Chen Qingxin and Village Chief Liu said, people nodded in agreement, with solemn looks on their faces.
Some people began to whisper and discuss how to better deal with the upcoming snowstorm.
Some people looked silently at the supplies on the ground, their hearts filled with gratitude.
Others looked up at the sky, as if worried about the days to come.
The atmosphere in the open space became somewhat tense and serious, but at the same time it was also filled with warmth and hope.
Finally, the village chief Liu Donglai said loudly to everyone:
“Everyone must remember the little girl’s kindness!
Don’t take it for granted that others should be nice to us!
If I find out who is being ungrateful, I will expel him from the village!
"Remember! Remember!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Then let's go. We'll start building the academy tomorrow." Liu Dong said, then turned around and walked towards home.
Chen Qingxin stopped him and said, "Uncle Liu, Uncle Village Chief, your wages."
After that, each of them was given a purse.
Naturally, the reward is a little more than what was agreed upon before.
The two of them quickly refused, but Chen Qingxin forced it upon them without giving them any explanation, and then pushed them away:
"Okay, Qingxin will not keep the two elders here today. You two should go back and count the money. Don't forget to bring the supplies with you."
"You girl? Oh!"
Chen Qingxin was too lazy to listen to their nagging and waved his hand to signal them to leave quickly.
In a blink of an eye, only Aunt Ding's family, guests, a few cleaning maids and servants, and the guard Han Bo were left in the courtyard.
Yes, Chen Qingxin added a few more servants to the family.
A maid was found for Chen Qingying, and a servant was found for Chen Qingwu.
She also found a nanny who was good at sewing to be responsible for making clothes for the whole family and to teach Chen Qingying how to do housework.
Although people did not need to make a living from it, needlework was an essential skill for women in the boudoir in ancient times.
So she couldn't fall behind, nor could she lose face for the Chen family.
It was the first time for Aunt Ding’s four grandsons and two granddaughters to visit Chen Qingxin’s home.
So, she prepared a golden peanut as a gift for each child.
"Xin'er, aren't you spending too much?
Taking out six large peanuts at once, wouldn't that cost hundreds of taels?" Aunt Ding asked distressedly.
Chen Qingxin smiled slightly:
"It's not a big deal. They are just children. They should be spoiled and pampered. Only in this way can we cultivate children with good qualities!"
After hearing what Chen Qingxin said, Aunt Ding couldn't help but laugh: "That's easy to say!"
Chen Qingxin took his godmother's arm:
"Okay, godmother, please stop being so agitated.
How about you and godfather go back and let sister-in-law and the children play here for a few days before going back?"
"That won't do. The children will make a fuss at night. If so many people stay, you won't be able to sleep well all night." Aunt Ding refused decisively.
"Well, godmother, sisters-in-law, follow me. I have something more practical to give you."
She motioned for a few people to come over with her.
Everyone came to a warehouse and looked at the piles of cardboard boxes with confusion on their faces.
Sister-in-law Guan Shengxiu asked curiously: "Qingxin, did you buy all this?"
"Sister, what is this? You are so soft in my hands, it feels so good!"
Second sister-in-law Yu Jiaxiu had a curious look on her face, "Sister, just tell me what this is used for?
This is really annoying and uncomfortable, hehe!"
Looking at Xiao Jinfang, who was less than two years old in her arms, Chen Qingxin opened the package and took out a diaper.
Ignoring the little girl Jinfang's desperate struggle, he put on the diaper on her in no time.
Chen Qingxin chuckled: "Sisters-in-law, have you seen it? This is called a diaper.
Diapers are made of high-tech absorbent materials that can quickly absorb urine and lock it inside the diaper to keep the baby's skin dry."
Third sister-in-law Peng Mingzhen's eyes were full of stars. She quickly brought her son's butt in front of Chen Qingxin:
"Sister, can you hold this kid in your arms too? This way I can hold him more comfortably."
"Yes." Chen Qingxin nodded, "Third sister-in-law, lay the baby flat, I will help him put on the clothes."
After saying this, she was about to put a diaper on little Jinxi, but Aunt Ding got there first:
"Let grandma come. Auntie is a girl, but Xier is a boy, haha!"
Peng Mingzhen's cheeks flushed when she heard her mother-in-law say this:
"I'm sorry, sister. Third sister-in-law thought Xi'er was just over a year old, so she forgot..."
Chen Qingxin waved his hand to stop her:
"It's okay, it's just a kid, isn't it just a little bug?"
After he finished speaking, he gently touched the little bug on the little bun with the tip of his right index finger, and then put it to the little guy's lips:
"Come, come, Xier, help auntie blow the air. Auntie's finger was bitten by a bug! Haha!"
Everyone: “…” They were all speechless.
Next, Jinfen, who was also only 2 years old, was also put on diapers.
She glanced at Jin Lu and Jin Shou again. The two children felt a chill and ran away, their short legs running as if there was a flood or a beast behind them.
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.
