Chapter 953: More Surprise?
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong quickly recited, “Xu Hua’er.”
“Here.”
Gu Yundong had an impression of her. Last year, she was also there when the short-term workers received the New Year’s goods.
When they arrived, Gu Yundong took the string of copper coins from Tong Shuitao and handed it to her.
Xu Hua’er bowed. “Thank you, Boss.”
Then, she took the copper coins and walked to the side. Gu Yundong ticked her name.
Then, she started to call the second person.
Just as she was handing out copper coins to the second person, Xu Hua’er, who was beside her, suddenly exclaimed, “Boss, you gave an extra 100 copper coins.”
Everyone looked over in unison, but Gu Yundong was not surprised. “It’s the new year. Take these 100 copper coins as a red packet for everyone. Everyone has it. You can buy New Year goods with it.”
100 copper coins was not much. It could be considered the year-end bonus.
Everyone had worked hard for an entire year. On the last day, they still had to celebrate.
When the people behind heard this, they were overjoyed. They did not expect that when the workshop closed for the holiday, there would be a meal gathering, a lucky draw, and a New Year’s gift. In the end, there was even a red packet??
The surprises came one after another, making them a little dizzy and unable to find the north.
These things were common to modern companies, but in this era, they were unique.
But to Gu Yundong, these extra rewards did not cost much. In total, it was about 50 to 60 taels.
However, this would make everyone happy. In the future, they would be more loyal to the Gu family and have a greater sense of belonging to the Gu family. Moreover, they would be able to publicize it for free. This money was very worth it.
The pay was distributed one by one. Everyone could not help but count it again and again.
It was not that they did not trust Gu Yundong and were afraid that they would be paid less. They just could not resist the desire to count the money, especially when they had an extra 100 copper coins. They felt so good.
The Zeng couple, the Shi couple, Zhao Zhu, and the other managers were the last to be paid. Their salaries were high, so they were directly given silver.
Everyone was a little envious when they saw this. They thought that if they worked harder, they would be able to touch silver when they became managers in the future.
However, none of these people left after receiving the money.
Gu Yundong found it strange. Then, she saw that everyone was busy. The tables were cleared, the stools were cleared, and the women were tidying up the pots and pans and cleaning the ground.
Gu Yundong immediately smiled. Whether it was New Year goods or red packets, they were indeed worth it.
In just a short while, the workshop returned to its original state. It was clean.
The tables and chairs had all been returned.
Everyone stood in front of Gu Yundong again with the New Year goods in their hands. They waved at Gu Yundong. “Boss, we wish you a happy New Year in advance. We’ll take our leave first.”
Gu Yundong waved her hand. “Happy New Year to you too. See you next year.”
Only then did everyone turn around and leave. The weather outside was very cold and dark, but the people who came out of the workshop were all overjoyed and warm.
The families of the people from the neighboring villages who lived further away came to pick them up.
Mrs. Sun’s husband was also here. Although he was not in good health, it was fine for him to go out.
At this moment, he saw Mrs. Sun carrying a large pile of things in her hand. There were actually… quilts?
Her husband’s face was filled with shock as he hurriedly went up to her.
Mrs. Sun was very happy to see him. She said with a face full of joy, “Husband, we drew the lottery today. I won the first prize. Look, there are two big quilts and beddings, and these…”
