The next day, the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Wu Mengting left the Chen family in the afternoon.

Lin Yujiao also returned to her parents' home in Haiwan Town in the afternoon.

Chen Feng didn't go out anymore and stayed at home, chatting with a few women, reading novels, and watching short videos.

After dinner, his father Chen Dayong asked his brothers to reconcile the accounts.

The two brothers opened a car beauty shop together. Chen Feng also took the lead and was considered the big boss. Normally, the entire shop was left to Chen Rui, the second boss. It was the end of the year and the accounts must be reconciled.

It is a principle that brothers should settle accounts clearly.

Otherwise, many brothers will fight against each other because of money issues.

Chen Dayong and Zhao Xiaolan watched the whole process, fearing that their two sons would fall out due to unclear accounts.

Of course, Chen Feng didn't take the car beauty shop business seriously. If it weren't for the sake of keeping it secret and not wanting the current family relationship to deteriorate, Chen Feng would have long wanted to reveal his true net worth to his family.

In addition, there is no reason for brothers to give each other a large amount of money for free. Otherwise, even if there is no promotion of friendship and hatred, the original relationship between brothers will easily deteriorate.

Therefore, even though Chen Feng doesn't like the money now, and he doesn't want to calculate the store's accounts too clearly in his heart, under the supervision of his parents, Chen Feng and his brother Chen Rui still took the calculator and calculated each stroke.

Calculate it clearly, and then compare it with the bank account amount in the store.

After all, it's just a small shop, and it's only been open for about four months, so it's not very troublesome to reconcile and settle the accounts.

Nowadays, mobile payment is basically used, and very few people pay in cash, and every mobile payment is recorded and can be checked. Even if Chen Rui embezzled the money of all cash-paying customers, it would probably not be much.

In addition, after deducting operating costs, including water, electricity, materials, employee wages, etc., the balance is the net profit of the two people.

It took the brothers more than two hours to reconcile the accounts, and the final balance was almost 200,000. The average monthly net profit was 40,000 to 50,000, which was still profitable.

The main reason is that they are the only car wash shop in Qingpu Town. The last two or three months at the end of the year are the exclusive business of their car wash shop, which is of course more profitable.

If they open another one here in the future, or even restore the previous three, the business will definitely be a lot worse.

Now Chen Feng holds 70% of the shares in this store. He can split the 200,000 yuan with 140,000 yuan and Chen Rui with 60,000 yuan.

Chen Feng didn't care about this, but the rest of the family were very satisfied. Chen Rui and Li Guihong were even more happy.

In the past, Chen Rui worked hard to pull trucks and transport goods for people, and the most he could earn in a year was around 100,000 yuan, which was still a good year. But now, in just four months, he has earned almost 100,000 yuan.

In addition to the 60,000 yuan bonus, he also has a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, which is 32,000 yuan in four months. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

However, Chen Feng quickly gave him more money: "Brother, as the owner of a car wash shop, you have worked hard and accomplished a lot, so you must get a bonus at the end of the year. Let's do this, a bonus of 50,000 to reward your good work performance this year.

"

Chen Rui was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said: "This is no good, no. As a store owner, I already receive a monthly salary of 8,000, and it would be too much to receive a bonus or something. There is no such reason."

Chen Feng said with a smile: "How come there is no such truth? When I worked in Xiuzhou, the company would give year-end bonuses to employees at the end of the year, more or less. Basically, they were at least two or three months' salary.

, and some are 12 months’ salary.”

Chen Dayong said: "12 months' salary? There is no such payment, right?"

"That's right." Zhao Xiaolan also said, "You two brothers have only opened this store for four months. Are you going to give him 12 months' salary as a year-end bonus?"

Chen Rui smiled and shook his head and said: "I am also a boss myself, so why don't I get a year-end bonus? Xiaofeng, please stop giving me money. If you hadn't helped me, this store wouldn't be able to open."

"Brother, this code is the same code. I definitely need the year-end bonus. Even if I hire someone else to be the store manager in the future, I will definitely give this year-end bonus. Well, if you think 50,000 is too much, then I will give you 4

The monthly salary is about thirty-two thousand yuan. It will be deducted from our two hundred thousand yuan. After the deduction, we will take another one hundred thousand yuan and divide it according to the shares. The remaining tens of thousands will be kept in the account as operating capital for next year."

"No. Thirty-two thousand is too much." Chen Rui shook his head again and refused.

"Okay. It's settled." Chen Feng said in a strong tone, "As a store manager, you get up early and work late every day. It's not too much to give you 12 months' salary as a year-end bonus every year. Otherwise, this money

I don’t feel comfortable keeping it.”

Li Guihong smiled and said: "Since Ah Feng has said so, you just agree. My brother, why are you so polite?"

After Zhao Xiaolan heard what she said, she glared at her unhappily.

Li Guihongquan pretended not to see it, and said to Chen Feng with a smile: "A Feng, thank you. Xiaoyu will go to preschool next year, and she will also have to attend some tutoring classes, which will cost money. Sister-in-law, I won't follow you.

You are welcome."

"Thank me for nothing. It's the money that I should get."

Li Guihong was very happy when Chen Feng said this.

Seeing this, Chen Dayong acted as a middleman and said, "That's it. Ah Rui works from dawn to dusk every day. He has indeed contributed a lot to this store, so he should be given a bonus."

Zhao Xiaolan said with a slightly straight face: "Bonuses should be given, but they must be linked to the profit of the store. If the store's business is not good next year, should we still give bonuses like this? There is no such reason. I think Ah Feng can

Give A Rui a portion of the store's profit as a reward, such as 10% of the profit."

After all, Zhao Xiaolan also owns a canteen. She went to elementary school and has some knowledge.

Chen Rui immediately responded: "Mom is right, it should be like this. Otherwise, if the store's business is not good in the future and the monthly profit is only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, will we have to spend 8,000 yuan to pay the store manager?"

bonus?

You can't do this, I won't be the store manager forever. At most, 10% of the profit will be used as a year-end bonus, which is already a lot."

Li Guihong was a little angry and stretched out her foot under the table to step on Chen Rui, which was so painful that he almost screamed out.

Chen Feng agreed with this plan and said: "Then we will implement this plan next year. This year, we will pay four months' salary as I said. Okay, that's it, brother, you can use your mobile phone to divide the money.

"

"Okay, we will implement this plan next year." Li Guihong said happily and gave Chen Rui a little push.

Chen Rui glanced at his mother with a guilty look, and when he saw that her face was calm and she didn't object, he felt relieved, picked up the phone and said, "Okay, I'll take advantage this time."

Soon, Chen Rui used his mobile phone to transfer his respective dividends from the store's public account to the brothers' private accounts.

"OK! Done. That's it. I'm going back to the room."

Chen Feng stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." His mother stopped him, "Leave your 70,000 yuan to me for safekeeping. I will give it to you when you get married, so that you don't go out and spend it randomly."

Chen Feng originally wanted to find an opportunity to give this money to his mother, but it was just for the sake of his brother and sister-in-law's face, so he couldn't give it to his parents on the spot. Otherwise, they are both their parents' sons. Chen Feng gave it to Chen Rui, the eldest brother.

If you don't give it, it will look a little ugly.

Now his mother took the initiative to ask for it from him. Chen Feng couldn't help but think of the New Year's money he had never paid back since childhood, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

"Mom, you are trying to defraud me of my lucky money." Chen Feng said with a grimace.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Just deposit it here for me and forward it to me via WeChat."

Zhao Xiaolan's unquestionable look.

Chen Rui spoke to his brother with some sympathy: "Mom, please leave some for Ah Feng. He is such an adult and needs money to keep him company."

"He is very rich. He hangs out with people, stays up all night, and travels around. If I don't save some for him, he will spend it all soon."

Apparently my mother was a little dissatisfied with his romantic behavior these days.

"Yes, yes, people will be happy if the money goes away. Mom, stop talking, I will transfer it to you right away."

Chen Feng picked up the phone and quickly transferred 70,000 yuan to his mother.

After Zhao Xiaolan received the money, she nodded with satisfaction and waved her hand: "Okay, let's go."

Chen Feng turned around and left.

Chen Rui could only express his deep sympathy for his brother. The money was robbed by his mother before he could get it.

After returning to his room, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile.

Originally, he was thinking about finding an excuse to give the money to his mother, but she took the initiative to ask for it, which saved him the trouble.

In a blink of an eye, the next day was New Year's Eve. My mother and sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen early in the morning, preparing a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Chen Feng, who was a bit clumsy, was watching TV with his dad, brother, and grandpa at the canteen in front, and at the same time watching Xiaoyu Xiaoxue playing in front of the house.

Many little kids appeared in groups on the street at this time, having a great time, and from time to time there was a bang, which was the sound of sand cannons being thrown on the ground and exploding.

Children basically like "little firecrackers" like sand cannons. They are safe and fun to play with. If you take them out and throw them on the ground, they will explode on their own.

These days, his canteen is mainly engaged in this kind of business. Since firecrackers are a monopoly, the canteen has long since ceased to exist.

There are also some small toys for children, placed at the door, which can attract many children to come and watch, and then beg their parents to come and buy them, or older children can buy them directly with their own money.

In this way, the business was so good that my parents were reluctant to close the business on New Year's Eve.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when the whole family started to eat.

After dinner, Chen Feng walked around outside with his two nieces, and then went back to his room to sleep. Otherwise, he would have no sleep at night.

At five o'clock, Chen Feng was woken up by his mother and asked his brothers to go pick vegetables in their field.

The two brothers took a broken knife and a bucket to pick vegetables, including Chinese cabbage, shepherd's purse, and white radish.

On the way, his brother Chen Rui happily told him about his plan to buy a house in the town next year.

The couple had actually wanted to buy a new house for a long time. After all, living with their parents every day was somewhat uncomfortable, especially between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Zhao Xiaolan is a relatively strong mother-in-law. Li Guihong, the daughter-in-law, has obviously been suppressed for several years. Although she did not dare to resist, she still had some resentment in her heart.

Therefore, the couple have been saving money in the past few years and plan to buy a house.
