"Sister Wei Hong, Ban Lin, you two have worked hard these past six months. Here are your wages." Xu Nian'an said as he handed them two red envelopes, then added, "For summer break, I'll give you two months off—well, actually, I'll probably come back half a month early, so it's not quite a full half-month vacation for you."
"Is the wage right?" Wei Hong opened her envelope and realized the amount wasn't correct; it was more than a month's salary.
"I gave you both extra on purpose—it's a bonus," Xu Nian'an explained.
Wei Hong and Ban Lin glanced at each other, wanting to hand it back, but Xu Nian'an said, "Just keep it, don't worry. I'm hoping you'll both keep working here next semester. And next semester, I'll give each of you a five-yuan raise."
