It turned out to be a complete set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Working in Gu Yundong's shop, everyone knows that the boss hopes that everyone can learn to read more in their spare time. Although she didn't force everyone to practice calligraphy, once she gets promoted and raises her salary, she will definitely give priority to those who can read.
There is no way. If the leader is illiterate, wouldn't he even be able to read the ledger records? Which owner wouldn't be so big-hearted, right?
Therefore, the shop assistants are more or less literate, but their handwriting is poor. Although their current wages are quite high, it is still difficult to buy these things from scholars. Most of them can only use their fingers to dip in water and make gestures on the table.
Now suddenly there is an extra set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, not to mention the three winners, the others are also envious.
Madam Xia handed over the prizes to them, "Congratulations."
The three of them thanked each other repeatedly, took a deep breath, and returned to their seats with the prize.
Only then did Mother Xia continue to speak, "Please come up whoever won the second prize."
The two second prize winners, sitting at the very front of the pile, suddenly got up, their excited eyes were reddish, and they eagerly stepped onto the stage.
There is also Zhang's mother who washed her hands many times before. She went up with a smile. Fortunately, she washed her hands a few more times in the morning, otherwise it would be a big loss.
The tray for the second prize was brought up, but everyone found that there were only two sheets of paper on the tray, and nothing left.
Two sheets of paper?
Everyone was stunned in bewilderment, Madam Xia picked up the paper, glanced at it, and then turned it over to face everyone.
People who were close poked their heads and squinted at the words on it.
"What did you write? House rent? One year?"
"Pay the rent of the house for one year. If you own a house, you will convert the rent into silver. Wow, one year."
After everyone finished watching, their eyes widened suddenly.
One year, the rent in this capital city is not cheap, even for a small house in a remote place, it costs several taels of silver a month.
It just so happened that the two people who were drawn this time both lived in rented houses.
Zhuangzi became short of breath, his house was not small, after all he and his wife lived there, his parents also came. Although the father and mother are currently helping the little sister next door to take care of the children during the day, they will still return to their own home at night.
Originally, the pile pressure was still a bit high, although after he arrived in the capital, his wages increased.
However, the daughter-in-law is pregnant and cannot go to work temporarily.
The mother is helping to take care of the children, but the father is currently transporting goods with the transport team of the Gu family workshop, and he is also paid.
But following the birth of a child, it is another expense, and the consumption in the capital is not low at all.
Zhuangzi's biggest wish during this time is to quickly become a shopkeeper, so he worked very hard and frantically absorbed the knowledge that Wanfu taught him, and he lost a lot of weight.
Tell him now, can the rent be waived? ?
Zhuangzi was so excited that he wanted to scream, not only her, but also his wife Su Qing, who rubbed her belly and looked at Zhuangzi happily.
Zhang's mother was also in a daze. She and Zhang Yingyue lived in her house. The place where they lived was not good before, and one yard was divided into two.
Later, both of them had work in their hands, so they rented a slightly better one again. Because there were only two of them, mother and daughter, the house they rented was not very big, and after all, they were used to being frugal. Mother Zhang wanted to save more dowry for her daughter and rented a cheap one. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
