Li Yi slept very soundly this time. When he woke up, the sky outside had already darkened.
Li Yi got up from the kang and found that Tang Xue beside him had already gotten up, leaving only a thin quilt lying crookedly aside.
At the same time, there was a faint sound of muffled conversation from the main room.
Tang Xue should be chatting with Third Sister, but in order not to wake him up, she deliberately didn't dare to speak loudly.
Li Yi looked at his watch. It was almost six o'clock. No wonder it was already so dark.
He immediately went down to put on his shoes, and then walked out of the west room.
Seeing Li Yi push the door open and come out, Tang Xue immediately asked: "Why don't you sleep more? Did we disturb you by talking?"
"No, I woke up!"
Li Na on the side started complaining mode again: "I slept until dark, what else can I do! This is Xiaoyi too. If my eldest and second sister and I dared to do this, my parents would have yelled!"
Li Yi did not refute. At home, his parents did favor boys over girls, and they were unabashedly so.
In fact, it's not just the Li family, but most families in the village are like this.
"Where is dad?"
"I went to walk the mules and horses. I should be back soon!" Tang Xue said.
Li Yi hummed and then asked: "What did you just say? I was hearing chirping in the room!"
Tang Xue immediately said: "We are talking about Xinyao!"
"Xin Yao, you are talking about Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Zhiqing, what happened to her?" Li Yi asked smoothly.
"Xin Yao is going back to the city. Sister Na and I are discussing whether to give her some gifts. I'd like to keep this in mind!"
"Zhang Xinyao is going back to the city, when?" Li Yi said with a brow.
Although Tang Xue didn't know why Li Yi had such an expression, she still said: "She came over in the morning and told me that her family had given her a transfer order back to the city, and the team and the commune were also willing to let her go. It should be It’s just a matter of a day or two!”
Li Na on the side said: "I don't think she can leave for the time being!"
"Why?" Tang Xue asked puzzledly.
"Stupid! It's snowing so heavily. Let's not talk about how to get to the county seat. Even if we go to the county seat, we can't go to the city!"
"That's right, then we still have a few days to prepare!" Tang Xue said happily.
Li Yi immediately said: "You are quite concerned about this matter, why do you have to give her a gift?"
"First of all, I came because Xinyao is half my fellow countryman. We usually get along very well. She is half my sister."
Then Tang Xue continued: "Secondly, she is kind-hearted. I didn't get used to it when I first came to the village, so she took care of me."
"Especially during the period when we were not married, she was the one who constantly enlightened me. Otherwise, I don't know how I got through that period."
At this time, the third sister Li Na also continued: "To be honest, you have to thank Xin Yao, she said good things about you in front of Xiaoxue!"
Hearing this, Li Yi thought for a moment, and then said: "Do you know the situation in Zhang Zhiqing's family?"
"I know a little bit about it. Sister Xinyao has four children in her family. She is the second eldest and has two younger brothers. One is two years younger than her and the other is four years younger than her."
Then Tang Xue continued: "Her father burns boilers in the county middle school, and her mother is a temporary worker in a textile factory. Since she has been living a tight life, she needed Sister Xinyao to save her rations and send them back in the past few years. !”
Li Yi suddenly felt confident and said immediately: "I want to keep her, do you think it's possible?"
"Stay... stay?" Tang Xue said.
"Why stay?" Li Na asked.
Li Yi knew that this matter could easily cause misunderstandings, so he immediately organized his language, and then said: "You also know about our store in Beijing. The business is very good, but now we are short of manpower!"
"Do you want Xinyao to go to the capital to help you?" Tang Xue said thoughtfully.
"right!"
"Aren't Brother Long and Qiangzi in the store? I heard that you also dealt with that kid Liu San'er. Isn't there enough manpower?" Li Na frowned.
"We run a restaurant, but there are actually many things in it that are not suitable for men, such as washing and serving dishes, washing pots and wiping dishes, and cleaning. Girls have a natural advantage in this area!"
Then Li Yi continued: "Actually, I have been thinking about where to find some hard-working and reliable lesbians during this period. After hearing what you said, I think Zhang Zhiqing is more suitable!"
"Why do you have to have outsiders? Can't you, your third sister, let me help you?"
Hearing this, Tang Xue couldn't help but laugh. She naturally knew why Li Na wanted to go to the capital!
"Our store is five to six hundred square meters, which is larger than our entire yard. It can be enough for one or two people. I estimate that we need at least four or five lesbians!" Li Yi said.
Tang Xue thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, you can ask Sister Xinyao, how much wages do you plan to give me?"
"I heard from Sister Xinyao that the unit she was resettled in was a cannery, and she could get almost 25 yuan a month, but it can't be less than this!"
Li Yi smiled and said: "Then do you know how much I paid Dongzi, Qiangzi and Shitou?"
"have no idea!"
"100 yuan!"
"One year?"
"One month!" Li Yi said.
Hearing this, Tang Xue and Li Na were stunned. This salary level completely exceeded their imagination!
Although they were used to Li Yi's "huge" income of several hundred yuan a day during this period, because the family spent a lot of money collecting mushrooms, they basically paid the bill from the state-owned restaurant in the morning and paid it to the village members when they came back. them.
In fact, after a few months, the Li family didn't save much money.
Because of this, they are actually very sensitive to money, and they do not think that one hundred yuan is small money just because they earn a lot of money.
In addition, they also know that the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law work hard at the sugar factory for a month, which only costs 72 yuan in total.
And Dongzi and the others, who were only in their teens, could not be surprised when they could get one hundred yuan a month.
"Is one hundred yuan a month too high?" Tang Xue whispered.
Li Yi nodded and said: "It's a bit high, but they are all brothers who work hard with me, so they should be given more!"
"Then do you plan to pay Sister Xinyao a salary of 100 yuan?"
"Since she is your good sister and she has said so many nice things to me, then give her a hundred yuan. Others can't do this!"
Regarding salary, Li Yi also has his own considerations.
There is nothing wrong with the seniors being higher. Not only do their salaries have to be high, they can even be given some share incentives when necessary.
But for others, as long as the salary is above the industry average salary, it will be fine.
But when Tang Xue heard this, she had a different meaning: Because of you, I want to keep her; and because of you, I will give her a high salary.
Therefore, after hearing Li Yi's words, Tang Xue was directly moved.
"You...you are so good to me!"
Looking at Tang Xue's grateful expression, Li Yi knew she had misunderstood.
But he didn't explain it. Such a misunderstanding is quite beautiful, but it would be pointless to explain it clearly.
More importantly, some things cannot be explained clearly, such as why he kept Zhang Xinyao!
