Chapter 602 Year-End Bonus
Grandpa Zhao slapped Zhao Yunyun on the head and said, "Girl, I can't lie to you. Even if Yunhua is gone, you won't be gone either."
Yunhua, who was eating at the side, immediately looked up when he heard this. He widened his eyes and looked incredulous. "How can I be left out? I don't want to, I don't agree."
Xu Han said, "We have everything. Don't worry, we have already prepared everything for you."
Hearing this, Yunhua swallowed the food in his mouth and whispered, "I was scared to death."
The Taoist priest was disgusted when he saw this, but he didn't hit him. His expression clearly showed his disdain. He thought to himself, how could he have such a greedy disciple? Alas, it is such a misfortune for his family!
The meal lasted for two hours before it was finally over.
After dinner, Grandpa Zhao played chess with the Taoist priest, and Yunhua and the others accompanied them.
Seeing that there was nothing for Xu Han to do, she called Dan Niang and Old Man Zhu.
After asking about the situation at home and seeing that everything was going as he had imagined, he was completely relieved.
Then he gave them some further instructions and they went about their business.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Dan Niang had already prepared this year's New Year's goods and food in advance, which saved Xu Han a lot of trouble.
In previous years, Xu Han had handled these things personally. Now that she was suddenly not allowed to take charge of them, she was a little uncomfortable. She always felt empty, as if something had not been done.
Finally, he called Ma Po and Dan Niang to ask about it, and seeing that there were no mistakes, he finally put his mind at ease.
This year, with the help of servants, Xu Han doesn't have to do many things by herself. It is also the first time in so many years that she has so much free time.
During the New Year holidays, Yunhua, the Taoist priest, Luchuan, and Han Qi, a group of four, would go to the mountains whenever they had nothing to do, sometimes bringing their two children with them.
The power of four people is huge, and the number of prey they hunt is also extraordinary.
There are all kinds of them, countless big and small. If they can’t finish them at home, they will take them to the mountain product shop to sell. For a while, the mountain product shop became a little popular because of all kinds of wild game.
The wealthy people in the county town were even more eager to buy it, with people lining up every day to buy it.
If you were to ask which shop in the county town had the best business before the New Year, it would definitely be the Lu family’s mountain product shop and wine shop.
In order to buy more game and canned fruit, people lined up before dawn.
Xu Han and Zhao Yunyun were not idle at home either. Neither of them was good at craftsmanship, but they also tried to make some dowries. Fortunately, they were all simple. The Li family directly asked the embroiderers to do the complicated ones.
For several days in a row, they spent their time like this, hunting and embroidering during the day, and playing mahjong together whenever they had free time. The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the 29th day of the lunar year.
There is no New Year’s Eve this year, so today is New Year’s Eve.
Yesterday, Han Qi went to the county town to pick everyone up, and everyone gathered together to celebrate the New Year.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, Xu Han prepared the New Year gifts for everyone early in the morning.
Each person received a bag of pastries and 500 coins of silver, and those who went to the county town were rewarded with more silver.
The two temporary managers, Juxiang and Li Wen, were each rewarded with an additional 1 or 2 taels of silver, and the rest of the people were also rewarded with some silver according to their abilities.
In total, including the money for buying cakes and other things, Xu Han spent a total of 30 taels of silver as a New Year gift.
When all these are added together, it might seem a bit much, but when you do the math it's actually not much. Their monthly wages are fixed, and except for a few small managers, the rest of the people have not seen any salary increase.
After working for a few months, this amount of money is not too much.
The main reason was that Xu Han made a lot of money from canned fruit and sweet potato wine before the New Year, so he was so generous in giving money to his subordinates.
After handing out the money, Xu Han said, "Everyone has worked hard this year. Work hard next year and strive to get more bonuses next year than this year."
After hearing this, everyone became excited and kept saying "good" louder and louder.
Xu Han waved her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Your wages will increase next year, but the specific increase will depend on your personal abilities.
The specific salary of each person will be announced in one month. Starting from next month, which is tomorrow, your salary will change, but the specific amount has yet to be determined.
You have two opportunities for a pay raise every year, one in the middle of the year and one at the beginning of the year.
As long as you work hard, your salary will increase. Although it won't increase by much at a time, it will definitely increase.
Of course, if someone doesn’t do a good job, their wages will be reduced, but how much you are paid is entirely up to you. You have the final say on your wages.”
After hearing this, the people below became excited again. They looked at each other, unable to hide the smiles on their faces.
Xu Han waved her hand and continued, "In addition to the money and cakes you received, I also prepared some food and meat for you.
We have prepared plenty of wine to liven up the party for you.
You are all eating together now, so let’s send it together and eat together.”
After Xu Han finished speaking, he asked someone to give them the twenty chickens, a sheep and eighty kilograms of beef that had been prepared.
This beef was brought back by the Taoist priests two days ago and was specially prepared for the New Year.
In addition to meat, food is also indispensable, including flour and rice, which Xu Han gave some.
I can't give them too much, but it's okay to let them have a taste.
The wine provided is naturally sweet potato wine and fruit wine. They are produced at home, so no matter how expensive they are, they must be tasted by our own people.
Xu Han drank and realized that Lu Chuan was not a stingy person, so he was willing to spend this little money.
It’s the New Year, so everyone is happy together and having fun.
The main reason was that there were too many happy events this year. Xu Han was given an official title, he opened a shop in the county town, bought a house, and the war stopped.
No matter what it is, it is worth celebrating together and to encourage everyone to do better next year.
The servants happily moved the things away, and Xu Han followed Dan Niang to start preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
It would be impossible for Xu Handing to spend the New Year with them this year.
It’s not that they dislike them, it’s mainly because there are too many servants. Also, Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun rarely come back, so they definitely want to have a good reunion at home.
The host family celebrates the New Year in the old house, while the people below can enjoy the New Year over in the valley. It doesn't disturb either side and each can be free, killing two birds with one stone.
We had a lively New Year’s Eve dinner together and then stayed up all night to celebrate the coming of the New Year.
That night, both the people at the old house and the people on the other side of the valley made a lot of noise until very late.
It's a rare occasion for everyone to get together, so of course we should have some fun. The people below can also get closer through this dinner.
Normally everyone is busy, so naturally there is not much time for relationships. Now that we finally don’t have to work, we have to have some fun.
