Chapter 163 Save the Dowry

Seeing this scene, Yin Ziying glanced at Uncle Gu, who immediately stood up knowingly and helped the old village chief signal the crowd to stop shouting.

It wasn't until the people in the house became quiet that the old village head said to Uncle Gu:

"Jingyun, go and get that list, I'll read this year's year-end award list here today, and let the big guys know what's in it."

Uncle Gu nodded, then picked up the list written by the old village chief from the side, and the old village chief read to the list:

"Today's year-end awards are divided into several classes. The special prize is eight taels of silver plus a catty of pork. There are five people in total. The first prize is five taels of silver plus a catty of pork. There are eight people in total.

The second prize is two taels of silver plus a catty of pork, and there are 12 people in total.The third prize is one tael of silver plus one catty of pork. There are 20 people in total.

The fourth prize is half a piece of cloth with five catties of rice and five catties of oil plus one catty of pork. There are 30 people in total.The fifth prize is half a piece of cloth, five catties of noodles and one catty of meat, a total of 50 people will get it.The last prize, the consolation prize, everyone who didn't win will get a catty of pork. "

When the old village chief finished speaking, the eyes of the people below were all lit up. Apart from other things, just listening to those people's prizes was attractive enough.

Eight taels of silver, five taels of silver, two taels of silver, one tael of silver, such old money, especially those of five taels of silver and eight taels of silver, ordinary peasants have not had so much income from farming for several years Woolen cloth!

Many people were very excited. The number of people in this award is so small, and they don't know if they will get a share. Of course, some people know it well.

For example, those people who came to work after the new workshop opened, especially those from other villages, all they thought in their hearts: such a good job must not be their turn, and it must be reserved for the Baijia Villagers. After all, they It didn't take long.

But no matter what, it's pretty good for everyone to take home a catty of meat.

You know, they are not willing to spend money to buy a catty of meat during Chinese New Year and holidays. Now that they have hair in the workshop, they can live a prosperous year.

Looking at the noisy crowd below, the old village chief smiled, and after a while he raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet.

"Calm down, be quiet, let me announce that those who have won every kind of award will come up to receive the prizes. If you read your name, you will come up, and you will go down when you receive it. Do you hear me?"

"I heard you, old village chief."

"I heard that, Uncle Village Chief."

The people below are excited.

Only then did the old village chief begin to read: "The winners of the special prize, Mrs. Su, An Dashan, Second Aunt An, Aunt Zhou..."

Everyone who heard the old village chief's name came to the front with excited expressions. At this time, Uncle Gu and Yin Ziying also stood up. They were in charge of distributing rewards to everyone.

After receiving the silver wrapped in a small pouch in Yin Ziying's hand and the pound of pork that Uncle Gu handed over, Madam Su's eyes welled up with tears: "Ziying, Brother Gu, this..."

Yin Ziying smiled and said to Mrs. Su: "Miss Su, this is what you deserve. We have noticed that you have worked hard in the workshop for the past six months."

It has to be said that the ten people selected by her aunt Yu back then were all good, and all of them were good hands who worked neatly and were patient and responsible.

So this time, the candidates for the special prize of the year-end award, there is almost no difference among the people, and they are all given to these first few veterans.

Except for four people who came all of a sudden like An's family, who were only given to two because they were worried that there would be rumors in the village, the first few people basically all had special prizes and first prizes.

Compared with Mrs. Su, Uncle An and Aunt An of An's family are even more excited. They have gained too much benefit from working in the workshop in the past six months.

Among other things, their situation now is very different from that at that time. At least now they are not as tight as they were then, and the house has been refurbished, and the children don't have to worry about not having enough food and clothing. .

Unexpectedly, there are now two people in their family who have the special prize of eight taels of silver for the year-end award. If this is added up, there will be 16 taels of silver. How much money is it before?

"Ziying, this, this silver..." Second Aunt An held her purse tightly in her hands, tears of excitement flashed in her eyes, she was grateful, excited and happy.

Yin Ziying waved her hand, smiled and said to Aunt An and Uncle An: "Uncle An, Aunt An, just accept it for you, I am not the only one who judged this special prize.

Even the old village chief, uncle, and several elders in the village went to evaluate it together. Everyone said it was you, so naturally it was you. "

Second Aunt An excitedly nodded, while Uncle An on the side patted his chest and said to Yin Ziying and Uncle Gu:

"Ziying, Brother Gu, don't worry, we will definitely do a good job next year, and we won't let you lose the special prize."

"Yes, yes, we will work hard next year!" Aunt Zhou and Su Niangzi and others also nodded.

Uncle Gu also smiled: "Alright, let's work hard next year, you are the ones who will strive to win this award next year."

After distributing the silver and pork to several people, the old village chief signaled them to go down, and then, the old village chief read the names of those who won the first prize and the second prize in turn.

Almost everyone who came up to receive the award was as excited and nervous as Su Niangzi and the others. After all, this was the first time.

When the third prize was handed out, Yin Ziying looked at the three Yin Jingjing sisters standing in front of her. She handed over the silver and said:

"You guys can't do it. Next year, try to get a special prize for yourself and save a dowry."

After finishing speaking, she took out three more purses from her pocket and stuffed them into the three of them: "You are going home today, here, take it, this is personally given to you by the eldest sister, and saved as a dowry."

"big sister……"

The three Yin Jingjing sisters looked at the two purses in their hands and were moved to tears. They didn't know anything else, but the purse that the elder sister said was obviously heavier than the first one. I think the elder sister gave them a lot. .

"Don't talk, keep everything, and save it for your own dowry." Yin Ziying told a few people before continuing to go to other people with other purses.

After all the year-end awards had been given out, the old village head waved to the people below: "Fathers and fellow villagers, are you happy today?"

"Happy!"

"Okay, okay! Just be happy, then you all go back now! Our workshop's annual leave is over now, and we will see you on the third day of the Lunar New Year."

Upon hearing this, the people below suddenly became excited again: "It's a holiday! It's a holiday!"

Until the crowd gradually dispersed in the room, there were still a few people left in the room, not others, except for Yin Ziying's younger sister Yin Jingjing, those who won the special prize.

"Miss Su, Uncle An, what are you..."

Uncle An smiled foolishly: "That Ziying, we thought about it and thought that you guys will definitely have to tidy up this place after posting these things today, so we stayed here."

Su Niangzi also nodded and said: "That's right, Ziying, you are such a beautiful little girl, don't get your skirt dirty, and the village head uncle is so old, it must be inconvenient to work, so we came here. "
