Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 243 Find a new way
September has arrived, and Yan Jiekuang's home in Yuer Hutong is rich in fruits. This year, the apple trees, pear trees, and grape trees in the backyard have all produced a good harvest. But before Yan Jiekuang can pick them, the four little ones and the big cat have already climbed up the trees to pick the ripe fruits.

Yan Jiekuang saw that this was not going to work, so he scolded the big cat, and also the four little ones. The ones in his own home became quiet, but a few days later, the male cat that lived across the wall from Yan Jiekuang came again, and would take one of the cats whenever he had nothing to do. Yan Jiekuang didn't want to care at first, but his own children were not happy about it, and they hadn't eaten yet, and it would take some time for the cats to fully mature.

Yan Jiekuang chased the big yellow cat all the way to the shabby house in Suoyi Hutong. Yan Jiekuang took a look and found that the big yellow cat had brought the food for Xiao Huang and the children. He couldn't bring himself to eat it and turned around and went home.

Yan Jiekuang thought for a long time, called the big cat, and ordered it to teach the cats in the next yard a lesson. The big cat gave him a strange look, turned around and went back to lie down in the nest in the main hall. Yan Jiekuang thought to himself, doesn't the big cat usually listen to him? After thinking about it carefully, he understood that according to seniority, the big cat is Xiao Huang's mother and the grandmother of the five little ones. As a grandmother, how can she stand by him?

There was really no other way, so Yan Jiekuang comforted the children and told them to pick the fruits when they were half ripe. The children were very obedient and didn't say anything else.

Ten days later, most of the fruit trees were ripe, so Yan Jiekuang called over his three apprentices. Some of them put up ladders, some took scissors, and a few children insisted on helping, so they helped to install the fruits.

Just as they had put up the ladder, they heard someone knocking on the door. Wei Xiaobao ran over to open the door. Yan Jiekuang turned around and saw his father and Yan Yongqing coming. Yan Jiekuang frowned. Yan Bugui said, "I'm here to help you pick the fruit. Why don't you welcome me?"

Yan Jiekuang rolled his eyes. At this time, Yongchang whispered, "Uncle San, I'm sorry. I accidentally let it slip when I got home yesterday."

Yan Jiekuang patted his head and said with a smile: "Actually, after we finish picking, we have to send some to your grandparents. This way, we don't have to work so hard."

Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiekuang after hearing this, and Yan Yongqing said, "Third Uncle, please come down. I am good at this. I have done this many times in the streets."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiekuang was happy to have some free time, so he came downstairs and made tea for a few people. During the whole morning, apples were the most abundant, with five large baskets full. There was almost as much grapes, but fewer pears.

Yan Bugui was drinking tea, thinking about something. Yan Jiekuang asked, "Dad, what are you thinking about?"

Yan Bugui put down the cup and said, "What a miscalculation! What a miscalculation! Why did I plant so many flowers? It would be much better if I planted a few fruit trees in the yard."

Yan Jiekuang spat out a mouthful of tea and said, "Dad, the greenhouse we built didn't cause much loss. We also planted fruit trees. But after we planted them, believe it or not, we have to share the fruits with our neighbors."

Yan Bugui thought about it and said, "That's true. Okay, how much do you give me?"

Yan Jiekuang said, "I'll keep one third, send one third to the west wing, and you can do with the other third."

Yan Bugui said nothing, but shouted, "Yongqing, load the car and leave."

Several people also helped to load the truck. Yan Bugui was really capable and specially borrowed a tricycle.

Yan Bugui just walked to the door, and suddenly turned around and said, "Next week, it will be the National Day. You have to send my grandchildren to me, otherwise I will not forgive you."

When Yan Jiekuang heard this, he said unhappily, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it."

After Yan Bugui left, Yan Jiekuang asked three apprentices to take some back to the restaurant and put them in the refrigerator, and send the rest to the underground vegetable cellar. When he turned around, these children were gone. Yan Jiekuang sent the three apprentices away and closed the door.

When I strolled to the backyard, I saw six children sitting in a row. Each of them held a big bowl with freshly picked grapes in it. While eating, they would occasionally put one into Aunt Wang's mouth. Aunt Wang couldn't finish all of them.

Yan Jiekuang laughed out loud. These kids were really impatient, but they had good qualities and had not forgotten Aunt Wang.

"Auntie Wang, I left a bag in the kitchen in the front yard. Don't forget to take it when you leave." Yan Jiekuang said.

Aunt Wang said, "I'm already full, so I don't need to take any more, right?"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Take it back and keep it there in case a neighbor comes to visit." Aunt Wang nodded and said, "Okay, it's a good opportunity for a few neighbors to give some as well."

Seeing that the children were well-behaved, Yan Jiekuang went to the study to work on his purchasing station plan.

Ever since the restaurant could not be opened, Yan Jiekuang was a little confused, and after the confusion, he felt bored. After a period of reflection, Yan Jiekuang thought that since the restaurant could not be opened, he should run the purchasing station well. Although the profit of this purchasing station increased doubled after June, Yan Jiekuang felt that there was still potential, so he decided to make a plan.

The main reason for this was that Director Yan had found him some time ago and had a serious talk about the main issue, which was employee salaries. According to the previous distribution plan, the salary of everyone at the purchasing station had reached over 100 yuan in the second month. This not only scared Director Yan, but also alarmed the district. The people at the purchasing station were too frightened to take the money, so they found Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang thought about it carefully and decided that it was inappropriate to do so at this time. If it got out, it would cause a lot of trouble. So, in front of Director Yan, he immediately changed the salary payment standard and proposed to adopt the method of salary plus bonus, but the total amount could not exceed the average salary standard of the city, which was 80 yuan.

Director Yan immediately nodded in agreement when he heard it, but Yan Jiekuang also made a request. The extra money should be used as reserve funds for the purchasing station for future development. Director Yan did not agree in person, but asked Yan Jiekuang to write a written document, which he would send to the higher-ups for review.

Yan Jiekuang has been busy with this plan recently. He plans to run this purchasing station well.

The next day, Yan Jiekuang called Wang Qing over, and the two discussed the plan together. It was called a discussion, but Yan Jiekuang was telling it to Wang Qing and letting Wang Qing digest it.

Yan Jiekuang planned to divide the purchasing station into several departments, starting with logistics, which was divided into general affairs department, finance department and support department.

The General Affairs Department is responsible for the purchasing work of the purchasing station, including labor protection supplies, daily consumables, etc., and is also responsible for the organization of archives.

The Finance Department is responsible for the income and expenditure as well as the fund management of the entire purchasing station.

The support department is responsible for setting up a canteen and a maintenance department.

The second is the operation part, which is divided into the acquisition department, sales department and second-hand items repair department, and then the second-hand furniture and appliance service department and the electrical appliance and bicycle repair department.

Yan Jiekuang planned to renovate the four back houses in the front yard, open a door at the front, and use them as business premises for the furniture and appliance service and repair departments.

It took Wang Qing a while to digest what he heard. Fortunately, Wang Qing would ask questions when he didn't understand, and he never pretended to know when he didn't. After he understood everything, Wang Qing widened his eyes and said, "Third brother, you are making this too big. Will the higher-ups agree?"

Yan Jiekuang smiled mysteriously and said, "If you secretly spread the amount of your salary, I guess this matter is almost certain."

Wang Qing frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he still looked at Yan Jiekuang in confusion. Yan Jiekuang said angrily, "What would happen if all the unemployed young people knew your salary level?"

"It will definitely try to break through its head and get towards us," said Wang Qing.

Yan Jiekuang continued, "That's it. Now, including you and me, we only have twelve staff. No, it's eleven. I don't count from the beginning. Director Yan is in charge. You said there are no vacancies. What should we do? We have to expand the vacancies. Now that we have expanded, this plan requires at least thirty staff members to be realized. Do you think it can be done?"

Wang Qing pondered for a moment, and soon understood everything. He gave Yan Jiekuang a thumbs up and said, "Third brother, that's brilliant. It's really brilliant."

In this way, the two of them made a plan, and Wang Qing left happily. He went to organize people to spread their treatment.

Yan Jiekuang waited for the matter to ferment before giving the plan to Director Yan, so he locked the plan in a drawer.
