Chapter 407: Signing an Agreement
Gu Qingqing directly said to Geng Chunhua, "Don't worry about this. We are all farmers, and no one can give up farming. After all, we all rely on the fields to make a living. You should do what you need to do during the busy farming season, and I will arrange the workshop."
"Hahaha, Qingqing, you have thought about it so clearly, there is no reason for me not to do it. When will your workshop open? I will go there then." Geng Chunhua was very happy.
"Don't wait for Brother Li to come back, discuss it with Brother Li?" Gu Qingqing asked her deliberately teasingly.
"If it's anything else, you must discuss it with your brother Li. What? Is he still worried about me working at your house?" Geng Chunhua said in a loud voice.
Gu Qingqing nodded, and suddenly said hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, I don't distrust you. Don't be angry when you hear what I say next. This is not directed at you, because I still have to find other people in the village."
Gu Qingqing spoke this matter very sincerely.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else? I'm not a petty person. What can you say? How can you make me angry?" Geng Chunhua wondered.
Then Gu Qingqing said something to her.
Geng Chunhua laughed out loud after hearing this. "Look at what you said, isn't that how it should be? Although I can't do that, I support you."
Gu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. "Okay, then let's make a deal. You can come to my house tomorrow. By the way, what do you think of Xiaoxiu's work?"
"Xiaoxiu? Wang Xiaoxiu? Da Jun's wife?" Geng Chunhua thought for a moment and asked uncertainly.
Gu Qingqing nodded. The reason why she thought of Wang Xiaoxiu was that she had a good impression of her, and secondly, when Wuyan was injured, Dajun also helped push him back.
"She is a good person. She likes cleanliness, works efficiently, has a good temper and is not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble." Geng Chunhua expressed her opinion.
"Okay, since you also think she's pretty good, I'll go to her house and see if she's interested. If she's willing to come, you two can be partners in the future." Gu Qingqing stood up and said goodbye.
Niu Dajun's conversation was even more efficient. As soon as Gu Qingqing told him how much money he would get every month, the Niu family wanted Xiaoxiu to follow Gu Qingqing immediately.
Gu Qingqing hesitated for a while, then looked at Wang Xiaoxiu and her parents-in-law and said, "Uncle and aunt, Xiaoxiu, I have something to say in advance. The recipes for the things that my workshop will make are all confidential. If Xiaoxiu wants to make them at my house, she may have to sign an agreement. The content of the agreement is that after I learn something, without my permission, she cannot tell anyone in any form how my family makes this thing. If someone tries to get information from Xiaoxiu, Xiaoxiu should be more careful and not be fooled. Because even if you are fooled, I will assume that you deliberately leaked it to others. When the bureau is settled, I will ask the village chief to help me make the decision. Of course, not only Xiaoxiu will sign, Chunhua will also sign. If you are worried, you can ask the village chief to help write it. If you are worried, I will ask Uncle Yang to write it."
Gu Qingqing didn't think it was wrong to ask them to sign a guarantee. If she didn't make it clear in advance, and if they accidentally or intentionally revealed the method of making soap later, she, as the owner, would suffer.
If she is 100% confident in Meihua, then she is 70% confident in Geng Chunhua, and maybe only 30% confident in Wang Xiaoxiu. If she doesn't impose restrictions on them at the beginning, if new people come to her workshop later, she can't ask the new people to sign, right?
Rather than having trouble later, it’s better to make things clear now.
Obviously, Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu, who had been working in the fields all their lives, were hearing about this for the first time, but they finally understood after Gu Qingqing gave them a brief explanation.
Aunt Niu slapped her thigh in excitement and said, "Qingqing, our Niu family is not that kind of people. If Xiaoxiu really did something like this, let alone what would happen to her, your uncle and I would have no face to stay in the village. We are paid by you, so how can we not trust you? Go back and ask your family to write it, and we will go over to sign it in the evening. Alas, we can't read either."
Aunt Niu was a little embarrassed when she said this.
Gu Qingqing said hurriedly, "It's okay. If Xiaoxiu can't write her name well, she can just press her fingerprints."
"Ah! Don't you need me and your uncle to sign together?"
Gu Qingqing was amused by the old man, "No need, Xiaoxiu is fine alone. Wait for Dajun to come back from the field and talk to him about this. If he agrees, just come to my house in the evening."
After staying here with Gu Qingqing for a while and feeling her bones getting a little weak, she said goodbye.
......
When Gu Qingqing returned home, a heat wave was sweeping the earth. The hottest time of the day was approaching. Gu Qingqing guessed that the people who went to the fields would be back soon, so she asked Shengxi to boil some mung beans, then chill them with cold water and wait for the people who came back from the fields to drink.
She lay down on the emerald green lounge chair and took a rest.
At lunch, Li Xin asked, "Aunt, if everything is fine at home, I'll go get some peaches."
As soon as Li Xin mentioned Taozi, Wen Xin's eyes immediately brightened up, and they all shouted, "Mom, we want to go too."
Gu Qingqing saw through their little thoughts and asked, "You still want to drink peach juice?"
The peaches grown in the mountains have a loose texture, and the last time she cooked them some of the small pieces of peach flesh had melted, but because she added maltose, the taste was good.
"Mom, that one is delicious." Wenrou never hides her preferences.
Even Wen Xin, who always asked for nothing, showed her love for it and said eagerly, "Mom, that peach juice is delicious, sour and sweet."
"Okay, then you guys go and carry it this afternoon. Anyway, there's nothing to do at home." Gu Qingqing said, glanced at Wen Shengxi, and then said, "Shengxi, go too. Follow the other kids to play in the mountains. Don't go too far. It's always cooler in the mountains than at home."
"Sister, I won't go. I'll stay at home to take care of Nuan Nuan and Gu Qi."
Gu Qingqing saw that she still wanted to go, so she said, "The two little ones need to go to bed in the afternoon. They sleep for a long time, so I can take care of them."
"Aunt, you go ahead. I'm tired of playing in the mountains. I'll take Wen Nuan out to play at home in the afternoon." Wen Nuan spoke at this time.
Zhao Bei, who had his ears perked up, heard about peach juice and going to the mountains. He coughed and said, "Well, you guys are going to the mountains to find food this afternoon, right? It just so happens that I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll go with you. I can also help you carry it back."
When Wen Shengxi saw that Zhao Bei was also going, he glared at him unhappily, as if he was still thinking about what he said about him being short.
......
On the main road outside Niutoushan Village, Lu Xiaocao followed the donkey cart and asked Luo Meigu, who was sitting on the shaft of the cart, "Sister Meihua, make your own decision. Do you want to talk to my sister about this or should I talk to her on your behalf?"
Luo Meihua turned her head to look at Xiaocao and whispered, "Don't worry about this. I will talk to your sister in a few days."
Lu Xiaocao saw through her thoughts and said helplessly
"Sister Meihua, you also know what will happen if you tell my sister, right? You are also afraid that my sister will know, right? But if you don't let her know now, when she finds out that we already knew about you, and you don't tell her, do you think she will be angry?"
Luo Meihua "......"
