Chapter 93 (1/2)
After dinner, Mei Zhonghua told Li Mingyun, ”today I've settled the accounts of the workers, and it's time to harvest the wheat. I have to let people go home to work.”
Li Mingyun was sulky when he mentioned this, but he didn't attack. He just asked patiently, ”how much money did you pay everyone this time? How much did you lose yourself?”
”In fact, it's really not much. A big worker is nearly 100, and a small worker is nearly 50. The salary alone is more than 800. Besides the material money, I really don't make much money I've been busy these days, and I've made two or three hundred... ”
Mei Zhonghua obviously has a lack of confidence. According to his estimation, if a house is built, it will cost at least four or five hundred yuan. However, the profit is less than half of what he estimated. I'm afraid it is not as good as the monthly profit of the store!
”Only two or three hundred?”
In the past, Li Mingyun would not say so, but now that she has a broader vision and more knowledge, she realizes that Mei Zhonghua is a bit of a waste of effort this time. It took nearly two months to earn two or three hundred yuan, and one month I earned about one hundred yuan. Although this is much higher than ordinary people's wages, the profit in building houses is very low.
But who can blame?
Otherwise, Mei Zhonghua made up his own mind to increase the wages of the big workers by 50 cents, and he would have increased the wages of these four big workers by more than 100!
”Mingyun, this is my first time to help people build houses. I really don't have any experience. I won't earn so much next time.”
”You mean to say that? You don't earn less, but you divide all the money you earn. One big worker's daily salary is 50 cents more, and four big workers are two yuan. Do you calculate that in these two months, you can't get more than 100? ”
Mei Zhonghua's face was a little red, ”OK, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else?”
”I have nothing to say.”
Li Mingyun thinks that those big workers have been paid 100 yuan in the past two months, while her brother-in-law has only a poor 50-60 He was still doing the work of the big workers, so he couldn't help pleading for his own people.
”Mingyun, how are you doing with your purchase? Are you afraid to run so far? ”
”What's so terrible about that? If I was alone, I must be a little afraid But this time I was with Ran Ran Ran. You don't see that our family is young, but we have a backbone. It's a lot easier for me to have her here
Mei Zhonghua heard, and proud, ”of course, you don't think about whose daughter this is, that smart power is with me.”
”You just stink!”
Li Mingyun arranged, ”it's ok if you build the house over there. Go to Beiguan tomorrow to help. My parents work there. I can't get busy At present, only Mingqin and Mingyue can help. Two women can't be as good as a man. They're going to start cutting wheat tomorrow morning. You must get there. ”
”That's OK. It's not a big deal to cut wheat. I can't do anything else. I'm a good farmer.”
Seeing that he has a good attitude, Li Mingyun has no good intention to argue with him any more.
The next day, Mei Zhonghua got up very early to help his father-in-law's wheat harvest. Li Mingyun also wanted to go back to help him, but he was stopped by Mei Zhonghua. ”You must be tired when you go out to buy goods in two days. Don't try to be brave. I promise to help my parents do well in the field work. I won't let you have a snack.”
Li Mingyun didn't go to the ground, but he didn't have time. He called Mei Xiaoran's brother and sister up early. ”You two don't have to sleep late. Lei Lei, you should buy more steamed buns and fried dough sticks and send them to my grandmother's home. Ran Ran Ran goes to the distillery to buy some yellow rice wine and send it to the field.”
