Chapter 99 New Year
Although I started to get paid in the next three years, it was only a meager one hundred pence a month at first, and then gradually increased to one tael of silver.

In contrast, the wife who started working at Gujia Food Store not only earned a higher monthly salary, but also enjoyed food and accommodation.

Now he has received a generous annual gift equivalent to five months' salary.

Jian Banxia began to question her choice. Study hard and try your best to please the master. It is not as easy as making money as your wife.

Lying in bed tossing and turning at night, I confessed to Feng Yu: "Damn it, I'm thinking about whether I should continue to learn the craft from the master."

As a husband and wife for many years, Feng Yu certainly understands her husband's confusion. He sighed and said softly: "If you meet a suitable employer, it might not be a bad idea to go out and have a try."

After being married for so many years, she certainly hopes that her husband can learn a trade and support their three mothers.

Seeing that her husband had accomplished nothing for many years, she preferred that her husband find a job honestly and earn money to return to the village and build a house.

Jian Banxia touched her face and said in a somewhat flattering tone: "Daughter-in-law, if you need manpower, how about I go work at your place?"

He has followed his master for many years, but his master only taught him some superficial skills and not the core skills at all. Whenever she finished shaving the pig hair, the mistress would always find an excuse to send him away.

As the children grow up, they feel that they cannot learn real skills from the master, so it is better to go out and find a job. He hopes that through several years of hard work, he can save some money and buy a small house to provide a place for his family of four.

Feng Yu said impatiently: "My boss and the others are basically in the shop, so why do we need to hire helpers?"

She thought for a while and added: "However, it can't be said that we will not hire them at all. When the grilled fish shop was renovated, we did hire a few chefs, waiters and backyard helpers. You didn't come out at that time. I don't know now. Are you still hiring people?”

When the grilled fish shop opened, my husband didn’t bring up the idea of ​​finding another job. He just mentioned it to her husband and left.

It’s hard to think about going to work now!

Jian Banxia hugged Feng Yu and said with expectation: "Isn't your young boss about to give birth? There will definitely not be enough manpower in the shop by then. Pay attention and let me know if you hire manpower. I want to go see if they can Hire me."

Feng Yu: "..."

What did your husband say?

There are so many people in the shop, even if the young master has a baby, there will be no shortage of manpower!
Feng Yu opened his mouth and pulled away his hand and said: "There are many workers in the shop! Even if it is inconvenient for the young master to come to the shop or not, there are still Qiu Qiu and the others."

Jian Banxia, ​​who hugged Feng Yu, was startled and said: "You can ask me then! If you hire someone, please let me know."

Feng Yu: "..."

Feng Yu didn't know Gu Yu's other important matters, he only knew that the two shops did not need to recruit any more helpers.

Jian Banxia said this, and just responded with a perfunctory "I know", and then mentioned that Gu hoped that they would stop coming to help after the New Year.

Jian Banxia heard that he was very envious and looked forward to someone helping them. He learned the craft very quickly and planned to open his own shop in just half a year.

This reminded him of his family situation, and he specifically told Feng Yu again that if Gu Yu needed to recruit people, he must tell him.

Not only Feng Yu and his wife thought so, but several other helpers also returned home with New Year gifts in a happy mood. When they learned that the boss was so generous, many people came to inquire whether they were still recruiting people.

Xu Xiuxiu took the red envelope. Although she was very happy, she still did not forget to remind you: "Your boss is good to you. He doesn't treat you badly in terms of food and drink. He will also give you bonuses every month and the annual gifts are so generous. You must treat him well." Work, don’t do anything that would be embarrassing to your Yu Gu and the others.”

"Your parents' lives were saved by you Yu Gu!" Xu Xi was not a white-eyed wolf. Of course she understood the principle of not repaying kindness with enmity and said, "Mom, I know."

The same is true for the Marin family. Only Gao Zhu returned to the village. Gao's father and mother saw him walking with a limp. After asking, they learned that their son had broken his leg and lived under a bridge. They felt very uncomfortable.

Gao's mother couldn't help crying and beat Gao Zhu hard, scolding: "You damn kid, why didn't you go home in the first place? You have to suffer like this outside."

Gao Zhu thought about those difficult days and couldn't help but said sadly: "It's all over. Mom, please don't cry."

When I thought about my broken legs, I didn't want to die. Considering that there are still parents at home, I decided that it would be better to die than to live lazy.

I am glad that I met her, who not only gave him work, but also gave him food and a place to stay.

Smiling and talking about the work in the Gu family with his parents.

Gao's father and Gao's mother were ordinary farmers. After hearing that Gu Yu treated his employees so well, they repeatedly expressed that they had met a good employer.

…………

Gu Yu knew nothing about the affairs of his employees' families. After all the employees left, Gu Pan, their mother-in-law and their three nieces and nephews packed up their home, locked the door, and then drove their ox cart back to the village to celebrate the New Year.

Gu Wu and Anji took most of the new year's goods with them when they left. Gu Yu and the others walked easily along the way.

When I got home, a neighbor came to visit me and asked, "Xiaoyu! It's almost time for you. Do you want to stay in the village at the beginning of the new year?"

Yang took out the melon seeds and peanuts she bought in the county town and asked the visitor to eat them while chatting and laughing. "I'm not going. My old man will go first in the new year. Xiaoyu and I will stay in our hometown and wait until the children are older before going to the county town." "

This matter had been discussed before returning. There were less than two months before Gu Yu's delivery period. This time when she came back to celebrate the New Year, Gu Yu would stay in the village and go to the county town after giving birth.

The most important thing is that when a child is born, he needs to have three baths and a full-month wine.

The child was too young to go back and forth, which made it difficult for both adults and children, so I made this decision.

Within two days of arriving home, it was New Year's Eve.

Gu Yu made a lot of money, and Gu Pan also purchased part of the land with Gu Wu's help, leaving twenty acres for himself. The rest of the land was also sold at a good price, making a total of two thousand six hundred taels. silver.

The people in the two houses luxuriously prepared chicken, duck, and fish, cooked dinner at each house, and brought it to Gu Yu's house for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The New Year requires a vigil, and firecrackers sound outside in the middle of the night. Although Gu Yu was very sleepy, she managed to eat a few dumplings and went back to the house to sleep.
When I got up the next day, I saw a group of little ones all saying, "Aunt Yu (Grandma, Grandma Zeng) has a happy new year!"

Some of these children are the children of cousins, some are nephews and nieces in the clan, and some are grandchildren.

He took out the red envelopes he had prepared and distributed them to the children one by one. Yang also took out small snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, preserved fruits, etc. and asked the children to put them in their pockets.

After the children said a few sweet words of congratulations, they ran to find their parents. When the parents saw a penny in the red envelope, they immediately collected it.

Next, groups of children came to Gu Yu's house to pay New Year's greetings. Regardless of whether they were children from the clan or not, Gu Yu gave them a red envelope.

Originally, she was going to go with Gu Wu to pay New Year greetings to the clan elders. This year I can only chat with my neighbors at home and eat baked rice cakes.
