Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland - Chapter 634
Chapter 634: Chapter 633-635 Listen to You_1 Chapter 634: Chapter 633-635 Listen to You_1 Meng Yunhan declined, “Dad, this isn’t about cooking for a handful of people, but for a few dozen. What if you tire yourself out, what will happen to little Huzi?”
“Grandpa….” Little Huzi, who was playing, turned around and muttered to Old Zhao when he heard his mother calling his name.
“We need two cooks. Take a look and see if there’s anyone suitable. If not, I’ll ask Ahao if there’s anyone among the fifty men who can cook.”
Old Zhao agreed to this, “Let me check.”
Once the buns, bread, and rice were ready, they each grabbed a porcelain bowl and started lining up for food.
“There’s plenty in the pot, help yourself.” Meng Yunhan knew how much a man could eat, and she was afraid they might save up, unwilling to eat their fill.
“Listen to your sister-in-law.” Yun Hao also knew that these people, out of respect for him, wouldn’t say anything, but it would take time for them to truly obey his wife.
“Yes.”
As they ate their rice and gnawed at their buns, they suddenly had hope for the future.
When they first learned they were going to be discharged, they were lost. But when their colonel told them they didn’t have to go home, that they would arrange work for them, they were excited.
Because finding a job was hard. Some who were discharged had to continue working on their teams.
But for others, their families needed the allotment, and without it now, they were having a hard time.
After dinner, Yun Hao arranged for them to sleep on the floor.
There were a few rooms, and once they were clean, they started laying out their bedding.
“Thank goodness tomorrow is the weekend.” Or else, she didn’t know how they’d manage meals for the next few days.
Yun Hao held Meng Yunhan in his arms and whispered, “Wife, slowly win their hearts and get them to obey you.”
Meng Yunhan knew this too.
“Have you discussed their salaries with them? Robert’s funds have already been transferred, so there’s no question of owing them any wages.”
Yun Hao shook his head, “I haven’t told them about that yet, but you should.”
Meng Yunhan didn’t know how much to pay.
“They’re helping to build the factory now, which will be hard work. So, their wages should be higher. I was thinking about eighty. Is that too low?”
Yun Hao lowered the rate, “They’re not on a mission, just a bit tired. If you give them such a high wage now and lower it when they start working officially, they’ll be uncomfortable. Fifty-eight a month, that’s a bit higher than their allotment.”
Truth be told, these soldiers had no military rank but were considered excellent. Their monthly allotments were only around forty something.
“Is that too low?”
Yun Hao firmly denied, “It’s not too low, and right now, their food and accommodation are included, and there’s no danger.”
Meng Yunhan looked at Yun Hao, “I’ll go with your suggestion.”
Yun Hao thought about his wife spending a hundred thousand yuan all at once. Even though the money wasn’t from their family, he still wanted his wife to earn it back sooner since she had spent so much.
When he asked for the time off, the colonel approved it immediately without questioning why.
“Wife, go to sleep early. I’ll take them to work tomorrow.” Now that they were feeding so many people, of course they had to start working sooner.
Meng Yunhan thought of the many men, “First get the accommodations set up tomorrow. There are bricks over there, and we need to set up a place for cooking, a toilet, and a shower. I have the blueprints. I’ve planned out all the spaces.”
“Wife, just go to sleep. We’ll discuss tomorrow’s tasks tomorrow.”
Meng Yunhan closed her eyes and fell asleep.
